Steve, Bucky,Bruce, Tony, Wanda and Thor rushed into the building. Loki had went with Clint to the hospital so he didn't wreck.

   "Staying here or going there?" Steve asked, walking straight to Emily.

  "Stay here till she's closer. Don't want to crowd the hospital." She said.

  Bucky looked around.

"Where's River?" He asked

"With Nat." Emily replied

Her focus was on Steve.

"I'm going to the hospital." Tony said "I wanna be there.'

He was waved off. Emily had buried her head into Steve's chest.

"Never leave again. Ever." She said in a muffled voice

He laughed.

"I can't promise that." He said

"Why not." She pouted.

"We'll technically, he's still active duty military." Bruce said

"What?" Bucky asked

"Oh yeah, you would be too." Bruce said "Neither of you were ever actually discharged. You could be called back at any point."

Emily looked to Steve, who looked scared of her reaction.

"You already knew this didn't you?" She asked

He nodded.

"And didn't bother to tell me?"

Steve looked away.

"Steven!" Emily yelled

"They're not gonna call us back." Bucky assured her "Steve's far too insubordinate."

"But what if they do?" She asked

"Then I'll go. It's my duty." Steve replied

She sighed.
"always eager to go off and die." She said

He laughed.

"You're so dramatic." He said, picking up his wife "I love it."

She laughed as she was swept from her feet.

  "You could probably ask to be discharged." She said "it has been over 70 years."

He shook his head.

"I'll think about it." He said

The rest of the team ran into the hospital.

   "Our friend, Natasha Romanov just had twins." Steve said to the nurse at the desk "can you tell me what room they're in?"

The nurse pointed out where to find them and they walked in that direction.

Steve knocked on the wall outside the room.

  "Shhh." Clint whispered "She's sleeping."

He waved them inside and showed Steve the pretty baby girl in his arms. Emily gravitated over to Nat who was holding a bundle of blue blankets.

   "What're their names?" She asked

"That is Phillip." Clint said

"After Coulson?"   Thor asked

"Yeah." Clint said quietly

He smiled.

"And this," he continued, handing the baby girl to Steve "is Margaret."

Steve laughed.

"She would have been flattered." He said

"It was only fair that they were both named after heroes." Nat said, smiling down at her son.
