It was highly requested, so here's part 2!
The next day and half was spent on your hospital bed. Just too tired to get out and still not properly recovered. But slowly you were starting to get better, but the pain of loss never got better.
Steve hasn't come to visit you ever since he found out about your child. Honestly, you had no idea about your relationship now, it was already on thin ice, this, this just instantly broke it. Bruce and Tony were almost always by your side, making sure you staying healthy or the bullet wound wouldn't cause any infections.
Today you woke up and felt a lot stronger and didn't feel so boggy. Bruce and Tony were talking, you were going to greet them to do another check up, but you stayed silent.
"I'm honestly not sure, he's been so... distant."
Tony nodded. "He needs to come talk to her."
"I know, he really does. But I just can't tell if he's mad or not?" Bruce sighed.
"He has no right to be mad at her. It's not her fault this happened, and maybe if Steve wasn't so cold to her she would have felt comfortable to talk to him."
"You've noticed it too?"
"You're kidding right? I'm pretty sure everyone on the team has noticed it, at times she really doesn't deserve him."
Bruce hummed in response.
You overheard everything, from Steve's lack of emotion recently to the fact that everyone has noticed your cold relationship. You shuffled in the bed a bit, making it seem like you just got up.
"Good morning! How do you feel?" Bruce rushed over to you, as did Tony.
"I feel a lot better..." All of you paused.
"I want to see him, I need to see him."
"Steve?" Tony asked.
"Yes, I really need to talk to him."
"Y/n, I need to warn you, he isn't the same. He's incredibly distant." Tony shifted his weight to one leg.
"I mean, I get why, but even if he is angry at me, we really do need to talk..."
"Yeah, you're right."
You started to get up, but felt their arms on your shoulders.
"Woah woah woah, now?" Tony tried to keep you from going.
"...Yes..."
They looked at each other then shrugged.
"Come on guys, you know I need to, and I feel fine."
They finally let you leave after more persuading. JARVIS revealed that Steve was locked in your shared bedroom, so that's where you headed. You stood by the door and paused, then finally knocked. No response.
"Steve, come on, I know you're there."
Still no response.
"We need to talk..." He could hear the sadness in your voice.
Once again, no response. You gulped back a lump of tears, guess he really didn't want to see you...
From the other side of the door, Steve heard your footsteps fade away. When he heard your voice he lifted his head and wanted to let you in. But he couldn't, he just couldn't. He didn't know how to feel let alone how to speak to you.
It was the late afternoon and you were leaning into the fence on a balcony, looking at the view. Tears had dried up on your cheek and your eyes were red and sore. As much as you wish you were wrong, you were right. Steve didn't want anything to do with you, all your fears were coming true.
The door creaked opened, the gently shut soon after. Footsteps slowly approached you, then stopped. You didn't turn around, you knew who it was. Bruce or Tony checking up on you, maybe Nat. But you were wrong...
"Y/n..."
The sound of his voice made you gulp and your heart race.
"Y/n please look at me."
You lifted your head up, still facing the view of the city. Maybe you weren't even ready to see him like you thought you were?
The footsteps started again, then paused once he was closer.
"Please, we need to talk."
Slowly you turned around to face him, still leaning against the fence. You could see he was still emotionless, but he could see that you weren't.
He sighed and rubbed his chin, unsure of what to say.
"Let me just ask this before anything else, I want to know. Ar-are we... done? Cause i'm getting that impression but I wanted to confirm with you I guess..." You looked at your feet.
"What? When did I say we were over?"
You looked back at him.
"When you left me in the hospital room and didn't bother coming to see me."
"I was in shock, I didn't know what to do..."
"But also before that, for a while you've just been so cruel and cold and dull to me. I felt so lost and empty, for some reason I no longer had anyone to come home too. It was like I was breaking but no one was there to pick me up... I wanted to-" You choked up a bit.
"I wanted to tell you about the baby, but I couldn't. I was scared because of the way the relationship was going. I knew it would ruin everything even more."
Steve's heart broke. He had no clue that you were feeling like that. It was clear to him and everyone that the way he was treating you was horrible.
He paused and looked at you. His face showed 'colour' and his eyes told a story. A story of sorrow.
"I-I wasn't meaning to come off that way. The truth is Y/n, that I was scared as well. It started to daunt on me how serious this relationship getting and how lucky I am to have you. For some reason that just made me scared and I felt like I didn't deserve someone as incredible as you. Which was why I kept talking to Sharon, because I was helpless. I couldn't talk to anyone in the tower because it would just make everything so awkward, so Sharon was the only other person I had..."
You looked at him, unsure what to think. Yeah it was sweet and all, but it just didn't make sense to you.
"I know you probably think i'm making this all up and you don't have to forgive me. But I want you to know that these past couple of nights I haven't slept. Half of it because the other side of the bed is empty, but the other half because I blame myself all the time for what happened. If I was honest with you and trusted us, you would have felt comfortable to tell me about the baby. But I was stupid so you had every right not to tell me, so I couldn't be there to protect you. And that kills me, it hurts more then anything knowing that because of me I lost our only shot at a family."
The both of you were silent, staring at the sun which was starting to set.
"Who said it was our only shot?" You leaned on the fence again.
He looked at you.
"What?"
"I thought you were falling out of love with me, but, you weren't. I thought I was loosing you, but we've found each other again. So why give up on us now?"
Steve looked down at you and saw the woman he wanted to spend his whole life with. You looked up and saw the old Steve, the one you fell in love with when he accidentally dropped all his food on the restaurant's floor on your first date.
Finally things fell into place again.
