"Im so sorry Maggie... Im sorry. Please-please just... Just wake up now."
"Steve? You should really get some sleep. She will be fine."
"I can't leave her side. The doc said that, um... He said that the procedure... It could either kill her or help her wake up sooner."
"Steve, come on. You look exhausted. We can take turns keeping an eye on her. I'll take first watch."
"Thanks, Nat."
"No problem."

"The kid, she is growing at an incredible rate."
"I know. She's smart too. She keeps asking about her mom and dad. I-I think Im going to let her come see Maggie tomorrow. She deserves to see her mom for once."
"Do you think she could handle it? She is only a few weeks old."
"Yeah, a few weeks old with the brain and development of a four year old, Bruce."
"You got a name for it?"
"She's not an it!.. And I do... Her name is Jamie. Jamie Elle Barnes. Its a combination of her parents names."
"Thats nice, Cap. I hope she wakes soon for your sake."
"Me too."

"Steve? What are you doing here? Its my watch."
"I know, Barton. But Jamie here wanted to visit."
"Oh... Okay. Have at it."
"Dont be afraid, Jamie. She's just sleeping. We all sleep, right?"
"Thats my mommy, Uncle Steve?"
"Yes... Im sure once she wakes up, she will be so happy to know you."
"What if she isnt?"
"She will. She will love you. I can feel it."
"Do you promise Uncle Steve?"
"I promise munchkin."

"Thanks for doing this, Sam."
"Hey, any friend of Captain America is a friend of mine. No worries."
"I just... We have a mission. I had no one else to watch her. You really dont have to do this. You've only known me for a few weeks."
"Buddy, hey, relax. Its no problem. I got nothin' else planned."
"Thanks."

"How is she?"
"Still in a coma... Sorry, that was harsh. How was the mission?"
"Easy. Again, thank you Sam."
"Seriously, man. Its no problem."
"I just feel bad."
"Well, dont."
