LU DID TAKE CLINTS ADVICE, HER DAUGHTERS AND HER MOVED TO A SECLUDED cabin. Her pregnancy was one that pushed her to make the right choice. For all of them. Nat would moved with her, helping her for the few weeks. Steve agreed to visiting and getting a place nearby, Steve wasn't in the front lines fighting but would help them prepare for fights, training them. He would take a step back from that too, only doing it part time. He wanted to help Lu as much as he could. He'd already missed so much in so little time, and being on the run before, also made him loose time with his daughter. Time he knew he couldn't get back.

EMMA, HOPE, AND LU, STOOD IN STEVE'S APARTMENT IN BROOKLYN, IN HER OLD BEDROOM, Emma and Lu packed things that they could use for their new place. "How about this?" Emma asks holding up a blue dinosaur plushie.

"You like it?" Lu asks.

Emma smiles nodding saying a small "yeah."

"It's yours now." Lu says.

"Really?" Emma asks surprised.

"Yeah. Once we arrive at the place we can go shopping for things we need and clothes." Lu says and Emma nods.

"There will be a lot of people, right?" Emma asks and Lu nods.

"We can try to find the time with the least people, to not overwhelm you two." Lu says and Emma nods liking her idea.

"I like that." Emma says smiling a little. "And what about school and everything?"

"One step at a time." Lu tells her and Emma nods.

THE CABIN WAS HELPED SET UP BY HER PARENTS, NAT WAS GOOD AT FINDING PLACES to hide, Steve offered his help anywhere he could, and Lu asked for him to help her with ordering and furnishing the rooms. While they did that, the girls stayed in Steve's apartment, it wasn't safe in the avengers compound, especially after the spell she did on Doctor St.James. Which she told no one about, but she was sure, her parents would know soon, Tony and Bruce would know and connect the dots. They work with him, she hadn't even told her parents or anyone about her pregnancy yet, only Bruce and Tony knew about it.

Now here she finds herself setting up for dinner, Steve and her cooked while Nat played with Emma and Hope in the living room.

"I heard about Shields offer to you." Steve says as he sets a plate down.

"You should know I declined it." She says.

"If you want to do it, your mom and I, you have our support." He says, "we can help you." He adds and she turns to look at her.

"This family has lost enough, we've given so much and I am tired of fighting." She tells him honestly. "My daughters only have one parent, me. I'm the last parent they have." She says grabbing the spoons and taking them to the table. "I want a normal life, I deserve one and being a part of Shield or the avengers doesn't include that." She says before walking back to the kitchen grabbing the pot and bringing it to the table. "Normal, thats what is best for us." She says and he nods.

"Normal." He says nodding, "Have you thought about going back to school?" He asks her.

"I'm thinking of taking a writing course." She says, "Get a job as well. Kids are expensive."

"You don't have to tell me." Steve says chuckling making her laugh. She knew the schools she went to weren't cheap, getting her new identifies wasn't cheap either. She went to school with very entitled and rich kids, who's parents had more than enough wealth to fix the poverty gap on earth.

"We scavenged a lot, over there, crops and the whole nine yards." She says and he nods trying not to smile, and make it a big deal, even if it was. She was speaking about the other world to him.

"Lunch is ready." Steve says out loud catching Nat and the girls attention. Hope stands up quickly making her way to the table, where her mom and Steve stood. Emma and Nat are right behind her, joining them. Nat smiles seeing how happy Lu looks taking Hope in her arms, kissing her check before sitting her down on a chair. Emma joins her moms side, taking a seat next to Hope. The rest of the Rogers also sat down at the table and beginning to serve themselves lunch.

          LU, EMMA, AND HOPE STAND IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THEIR NEW HOME. STEVE BROUHT some boxes in, along with Nat and Yelena. They were brining in the last of the boxes.

"I like it." Emma declares, making Lu smile. "We have a lot of space, can we have a porch swing?" She asks.

"Yes we can." Lu smiles at her. "You also get your own room." She says and Emma smiles.

"My own?" Emma asks her with wide eyes. "Can I pick it out?"

"Go." Lu says nodding and she sets Hope down, Emma takes Hope's hand in hers and leads her to the rooms.

"How are they liking it?" Yelena asks Lu as she enters the living room.

"They like it, now we just need to make it home." Lu says smiling, she has always been intrigued by her aunts accent and found it amazing. Slightly jealous at times when she was younger for not having a Russian accent.

"Where do I put this?" Steve asks entering the living room with a box labeled Lu's art things, most likely labeled by Steve Rogers himself.

"Far room in the hallway." Lu says, as she sees her mom walk in with Bucky and Sam holding some kitchen appliances, she leads them to the kitchen. "I promised Pizza on me." She says.

"Nothing like a good pizza." Sam says smiling. "Don't forget."

"The drinks, got it." Lu says finishing off for him and he nods approvingly.

"You learned, good." Sam says shooting a look towards Bucky.

"It was one time!" Bucky exclaims making Lu laugh loudly.

"Look at this gorgeous baby picture of Lu." Yelena exclaims holding up a baby picture.

"I think I took that one." Steve says smiling look at the photo. Lu smiles and she knows she has to tell her parents tonight, she knew her dad would sleep over tonight had to leave tomorrow. She didn't want to make it a public announcement of her pregnancy, she wanted to let them know first.

AFTER FEEDING EVERYONE AND HAVING A LONG MOVE IN DAY. STEVE AND NAT RELAXED on the couches, Lu was putting the girls to bed, in their own rooms which were nears Lu's own bedroom. While their rooms still needed to be decorated, their beds and a drawers were built, and set up. They would make it their own as they went on. While they made Hope's bed, and Lu placed her in her bed, turned the baby monitor on.

Lu made her way to her parents with the baby monitor hand. She could hear her parents discussing whatever was playing on the television. Lu takes a seat on the couch, turning her body to face them.

"Can we talk?" Lu asks setting down the baby monitor on the coffee table. Nat and Steve turn to look at her seeing her serious expression, Nat turns off the tv, nodding. Lu takes a deep breathe before saying, "I'm pregnant." She says and her parents aren't sure how to react or say, and they just staring at her.

"You're pregnant?" Nat asks after a while of no one saying anything or moving, the only thing you could hear was their breathing.

"Yes." Lu says waiting for them to get angry, blow up on her.

"How?" Steve asks confused. "I mena I know how." He says realizing his wording. "But who?" He asks confused. "Your test, you were fine, nothing to worry about." He says.

"I was seeing someone over there, I wasn't feeling anything until a few days ago. I went to Bruce for some tests." She says. "Before you ask, I'm keeping it." She says and Nat and Steve nod trying to process what she just told them.

"Are you going to tell us about him?" Nat asks her.

"Maybe one day, but I'm not ready to yet. Just know, he is a good man, he protected us, treated us right. Forgave me after I lied." She says and Steve looks at her, trying to work through everything.

"You know you're still my little girl, right?" He asks making her smile. "My baby is having a baby." He says smiling a little. Nat smiles at her before hugging her.

"You don't have him here, but you have us." Nat tells her as she sits between her parents. As much as Lu was forced to grow up in the other universe, she still needed her parents. She hated how she didn't have Stephan by her side right now, and wondered how he was doing, if he was safe. "We're you're support system."

"I know." Lu whispers lowly, she knew she could always count on her parents. They always had her back.
