[Comprehensive] First Lady

Holly looked confused.

"Family rules? Why... why did you suddenly think of ordering this?"

"Because we've been married a long time ago. We're husband and wife, not lovers." Steve replied, brushing away Holly's slightly curving black hair from her cheeks, "and next, we'll have new members in this In the family. We have to set an example.”

"... Oh. Yes." Holly nodded, frowning slightly, still a little confused.

"So first of all, you can't stay up late all the time," Steve said, glancing at the easel and textbooks, "I don't want you to support the whole family by yourself. Tomorrow we will discuss a basic expense, and you can't miss any Expenses. You're always sneaking bills out before I find out, or setting up autopay. It hurts my ego, to be honest."

"Uh." Holly looked away in embarrassment, "I'm just... used to paying the bill myself."

"Then you've got to get used to it, honey. Because I'm going to do this all the time, and you're not allowed to file for a divorce because of this." Steve raised his eyebrows, and took Holly's face with both hands, letting her straight regard oneself.

"I'm not going to divorce you. You're mine. You're mine when you die." Holly glared at Steve.

"Very good. You too. Then let's continue. You need to adjust your schedule, and I will urge you to get up early and run in the morning. I want you to accompany me in good health until the last day you can accompany me, and you will bring me the first Two children, maybe even a third."

Following Steve's words, Holly's expression became more surprised and bewildered; while Steve was so serious.

"And, I will not make decisions for you or force you to make decisions, but I think you should resign from your teaching position next semester. I need you to spend more time with me and my children. Similarly, I will do this for you Do it. Soon, the new generation of Avengers will be alone, and I will spend all my time outside of work with you."

"We can do many things together. I want to take you and the kids to more places, I want to make breakfast for you. I want you to teach me how to cook. I want to watch you choose your wedding dress. I want to put your ring on you. Committed to our marriage under the witness of God.”

"Will you give me this chance, Mrs. Rogers."

Holly wiped away her tears and smiled.

"Someone proposed like that?" Holly shook her head half-jokingly, and looked up at Steve, her eyes full of anticipation and emotion.

Steve frowned in thought. "It should be better than last time. I think I've improved."

"You're calling me Mrs. Rogers. You never intended me to say no."

"What can you say no to? We've been married long ago."

Holly stared at Steve with embarrassment for two seconds, and couldn't help laughing.

Steve calmly waits for Holly to finish laughing.Now he was no longer intimidated by Holly's move.

Holly managed to catch her breath. "What other rules? We sign the contract once."

Steve looks at Holly. "I'll take it as if you agreed."

Holly smiled, turned around suddenly, walked to the table, and rummaged through something.Steve followed and watched as Holly fished out a folded sketch paper from among the messy textbooks.

"Then, in exchange... I also have a gift for you."

Holly said, and handed the manuscript to Steve.

Steve hesitated and didn't open it right away.

"Open it and have a look." Holly encouraged him, with anticipation in her eyes.

Steve unfolds the sketch.

It was a sketch of a wedding ring for a man and a woman.The material, width, and size are clearly marked, and the style is simple and elegant, which is a streamlined metal base, and the female model is embedded with a star-shaped Paraiba tourmaline.

Steve's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's the North Star," Holly explained, tiptoeing towards Steve, "Do you like it?"

Steve's eyes flicked back and forth between the sketch and Holly's adorable expression.

"Why only women's models?" he asked.

"Because..." Holly hesitated before biting her lower lip and said, "You are my North Star. The color of Paraiba tourmaline is a bit like your eyes. It is my favorite color."

Steve wanted to give a red card to this woman in front of him.

Holly, who said these words, committed a foul at all.He also used the expression that moved his heart the most.

Without further ado, Steve lowered his head and kissed Holly's lips.

Holly was kissed inexplicably.Although she has been married for so long, she has long been used to Steve's impulsiveness occasionally, but she just can't figure out where Steve is being teased by her.But that's a good thing.She's going to keep it up.

"I think I should have the same design on my ring," Steve said, after releasing Holly.He stared down at Holly and curled his mouth, "Black gemstones, like your eyes. You and your love are my North Star, guiding me and not wandering in confusion."

Holly looked at Steve in surprise.Just look at him.

"...Why are you reacting this way?" Steve frowned.To be honest, he was kind of hurt.

"No, it's not because you're talking about love like you suddenly got enlightened or hung up," Holly shook her head, her expression still surprised, "but, are you sure you want black? Like my eyes?"

"Of course. Isn't that how you choose gems?"

"Then you have to find the black diamond, Steve. It's expensive and difficult to buy, isn't it?"

Steve frowned, looking at Holly helplessly and amusedly.

Holly was holding back a laugh.She couldn't hold it anymore.

"You can be naughty." Steve smiled bitterly, and tapped Holly's forehead with his index finger, "You just like to tease me."

A good pitcher has three ups and two downs at most.Steve wanted to say that Holly always got him on edge.

Holly admits she just loves watching Steve change his face.These are the little joys of her life.But it was true that she was almost overwhelmed by Steve's sudden romance.Sometimes laughing and teasing are her little ways of hiding her shyness, which Steve hasn't noticed so far.Probably soon.

The next day Steve took the blueprint to Tony and asked if he could help make the ring.Of course, Tony didn't learn metalworking, but the material Holly specified on the ring was actually the metal they used for weapons, and there were some terms Steve had never seen before.Holly wrote a small note, telling Steve to ask Tony.

You know, Tony will not keep this kind of secret.Tony turns funny secrets into gossip and gossip into big gossip.

Immediately the whole Avengers heard about it, and Holly sketched Steve's wedding ring.Steve was once again being teased by colleagues in the group.

The drawings were photographed and uploaded by Tony.As soon as Steve entered the office, people surrounded him to congratulate him.

"Not bad, Fossil. Polaris, so romantic."

Natasha shook over first, especially showing the picture on the phone.Steve could see the mockery on Natasha's face from a distance, and he couldn't provoke the pregnant woman who was expecting her period.

"Nice." Then Scott, "I kind of envy you, Captain."

"Captain, I hate to say this but...you know sometimes you're so preoccupied that I don't want to talk to you. Save a little life for single people, shall we be friends?" Sam came too.

Peter, in his spider suit, scurries across the office, catches a glimpse of them chatting in the common space, stops, turns back, leans against the glass with the door ajar, and waves to Steve.

"Hey Captain! I saw your wedding ring design. That's awesome!"

"Thank you." Steve felt an inexplicable sense of pride.It's really not good.He feels sorry for his single colleagues.

"When I get married to my girlfriend, can I ask Holly to design a wedding ring? Thanks." Peter continued, and ran away.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Just now he said," Sam frowned, pointing in the direction Peter left, "he has a girlfriend?"

The others looked at Sam sympathetically.Very sympathetic.

"That's not important." Steve patted Sam on the shoulder.

Sam's eyes widened. "No! Captain, don't do the same to you!"

For the sake of Sam, everyone changed the topic tacitly.

"How is the renovation progress of the new home? I heard that you are preparing a surprise for Holly." Natasha was concerned.

"Progress is good, maybe faster than expected."

Steve really hopes that this time he can give Holly a real surprise, so that Holly doesn't end up being more romantic than him every time.Obviously they both know how to draw and are both illustrators, but Holly just knows how to make flowers bloom better than him.It's not fair.

Christmas is coming.

Natasha's due date is New Year's Day, and there may be a New Year's Eve baby born.They're all calling baby Chris now, and Holly's ready to give the baby a welcome gift.

Steve kept his promise; time outside of work was devoted to family.He discussed with Holly, and the two of them should try not to take jobs with long schedules at the same time.If it takes Holly two months to finish a painting, Steve will take some extra time off in those two months.

Of course, it's impossible for super criminals to cooperate.Therefore, it is extremely important whether the little avengers can stand on their own.

For a while, the number of Avengers has stabilized, and the number of agents that can be dispatched below has gradually increased as S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to recruit.There are some shady people joining in between, and each Avenger gets a few die-hard followers that they probably don't want.

Holly didn't quit teaching, but she made fewer classes.The output of the paintings was bound to decrease as she and Steve started planning excursions.On weekdays, they would set aside 10 minutes for a heart-to-heart talk before going to bed, which was Steve's suggestion.

"Sometimes, I miss working in the store."

Holly said so suddenly that night.They were in bed, Holly on her stomach and Steve on his side.

"You miss those crazy kids?" Steve joked.

Holly thought for a while, "Maybe? I always hit my head full of goods."

Steve laughed. "I remember the second time I saw you. You were buried under the aluminum ladder by a pile of cardboard boxes and books. The ladder was not stable. Every time I watched you climb high, I was afraid that you would fall. Then I secretly replaced you with a new one. ladder."

Holly opened her eyes. "So it was you! I thought my ladder would look different from a certain day!"

"There are passers-by who bully you." Steve continued, "I can't help hearing them talk about you like that. How can I bear to be insulted by a woman I admire?"

"I remember that incident..." Holly turned her head to recall, "So you liked me since then?"

"Yes." Steve smiled, "You probably don't understand how I like you."

Holly lay on the pillow, frowning, thinking. "Yes, I don't really understand. This incident is amazing in all aspects. After all, you were Captain America at that time, and I was just a little painting teacher in the store."

Steve smiled. "It's more than that for me," he said, gazing into Holly's profile, which he especially loved seeing his wife from.It brought back many fond memories for him.
