Hopelessly Yours: A Steve Rogers Love Story

Chapter 36: The Dress

This takes place during Civil War! This is 2016, January!

The date was set! We'd be getting married this October, which left us nine more months to finish planning the wedding! I had my day off from the hospital so I'd spent most of my time helping around the facility after dad had been taking more time off to be with mom, who's due ANY DAY NOW! I am so excited to welcome my beautiful baby brother any day now! They decided to name him Brody Howard Stark! I loved that name! When I'd asked my parents what made them choose Brody, they said that they wanted both of their kids to have similar sounding names! Ally, and Brody! I thought it was awesome!

We'd all been sitting around in the kitchen, chatting amongst each other.

"So Ally, have you guys picked a color yet?" Wanda asked randomly.

"Ugh! No! They all look the same to me!" I rolled my eyes as that tedious task.

"What about red white and blue?" Clint winked with a giggle.

"Hilarious." Steve shot back and shook his head.

"At least you sent the invites already! Even if they were the most basic thing I've ever seen for a wedding!" Nat joked.

"What about the cake? Have you at least picked the cake?" Clint asked.

"Umm... kind of.." I squeaked out.

"What do you mean kind of?" Natasha chuckled.

"She designed it, now we have to find a baker to make it." Steve smiled proudly at me.

"Aww how sweeeeet!" Wanda bubbled out.

"What about the dress?!" Natasha asked with a finger up.

"Uhhhhhhh..."I tried making an excuse.

"Okay so let me get this straight. The wedding is months away and all you have is a date and maybe a cake?" Sam asked too.

"Basically.." I shrugged nervously.

"Alright. Get up. Let's go." Natasha stood up motioning for me to follow.

"What Nat it's my only day off where are we going!?" I whined.

"You, me, and Wanda are going dress shopping!" Natasha pointed at me with a very motherly tone.

"But- I-"

"No no! No excuses! You two have put the PRO in procrastination long enough! It's time for the Avengers to take over and do the damn thing." Natasha said proudly.

"Not sure that's a good idea." Steve teased with a chuckle.

"Relax! You'll be fine guys! Come on ladies, we've got some work to do!" Nat smiled and linked her arms with mine and Wanda's.

"Hey Nat? Any way we can get parents too? I kind of really want them to be there!" I asked sweetly.

"Already texted them!" She smiled at me.

I loved her. She was the best sister-mom in the world! We picked up mom and dad and drove to a local bridal shop in the city.

I let out a VERY obviously nervous exhale as we got out of the car when I saw all of the dresses in the window.

"Feel real yet?" Dad put his arm around me.

I just looked at him with flushed cheeks.

We walked inside and immediately got a billion bright smiles from the staff, courtesy of being with a very famous group of people, half of the Avengers Team.
