Little James Rogers was only 3 years old when he was told the exciting that would soon turn into the most disappointing news he had ever heard in his life
Steve and Natasha were quietly discussing something in the kitchen when James walked in wanting a drink of milk.
“Milk pwease daddy,” James said walking over to Steve and raising his arms in the air to let his father know that he wanted to be picked up.
Natasha went to pour James a glass of milk while Steve held and cuddled him.
James has always been a daddy’s boy and Natasha didn’t mind that Steve got to give him all the cuddles and kisses or read him bedtime stories every night and play with him all day. Okay, maybe she did mind slightly…slightly.
After James finished his milk Natasha took the cup from him and placed it in the sink to be washed later.
“James mommy and I need to tell you something,” Steve said putting him down on the ground.
“Oh okay we’re doing this now,” Natasha said kneeling down to James’ level.
“What is it?” James asked
“Mommy is going to have a baby. You’re going to be a big brother.” Natasha told him.
“Take a look.” She took out the ultrasound from her jeans pocket and gave it to him.
As James looked at the image he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. “What that?”
“That’s the baby James,” Steve explained.
“Where is baby?” James asked looking around the room
“In mommy’s tummy,” Steve said.
James suddenly let out a big gasp “mommy eat baby?”
“No sweetheart I didn’t eat the baby.” Natasha laughed. That's where the baby stays so it can be safe and grow till it’s ready to be born.”
“How baby get out?” James asked
“Well…umm…” Natasha looked at Steve hoping he would have an answer but he just shrugged.
Before they could answer James slightly lifted Natasha’s shirt revealing her stomach. “Baby comes out tummy button wite mommy?”
Both Steve and Natasha laughed “that’s right sweetie.” Natasha said kissing his cheek.
“Mommy me want bwother.”
“You might get a brother but you might not it’s not something we can control it just happens,” Steve told him.
“It will be a nice little surprise for all of us in 6 month time." Natasha smiled at Steve who smiled back at her.
"That too long me want baby now." James whined."
"I know son but you just have to be patient the baby will be here whenever it's ready," Steve told the young boy.
---⧗---
James waited and waited and asked every day if it was time for his new brother to arrive but it never was.
To help him understand more of what will happen when the baby arrives Steve and Natasha brought him along to the majority of the doctor's appointments, let him help decorate the new baby's room and read him books that were written to help children understand what will change when the baby comes.
Finally after what felt like years to little James the day had arrived when he got to meet his new little brother
Steve took Natasha to the hospital last night and Wanda stayed to watch James.
From the second his parents left to when he got up this morning James spent the whole time looking out the window waiting for them to come home.
---⧗---
"They're home, they're home, they're home," James shouted when he saw the car pull up in the driveway.
Steve and Natasha walked in and Steve was carrying a baby car seat with their new baby inside.
"Mama, daddy you're home," James said excitedly.
"Come here, my baby boy," Natasha said with a big smile on her face and opened her arms for him to run into.
He ran over to her and gave her a big hug.
"Have you been good for aunt Wanda?" Natasha asked after she gave him many kisses all over his face.
"Yes mama." he laughed wiping his face.
"That's my good boy. Are you ready to meet your new sibling?"
James nodded excitedly.
Natasha took his hand and led him into the living room with Steve and Wanda following.
Natasha sat down on the couch with James sitting down beside her.
James was struggling to contain his excitement.
"Calm down baby you have to be very quiet and gentle when holding the baby okay," Natasha spoke softly
"Sowy mama. Me happy to see baby brother."
"Before you hold the baby we have some news that will make you sad James." Steve took his new child out of the car seat.
"what is it?"
Natasha put her hands on James' shoulder and gently turned him towards her. "Sweetheart I'm sorry but you don't have a brother the baby is a girl you have a sister."
"Oh," James said sadly.
"Do you still want to hold her?" Steve asked getting closer to him.
James shook his head and climbed off the sofa. "I hate baby."
"I know you're upset James but that's not very nice," Natasha spoke calmly not wanting to escalate it further.
"Just come say hi to her James she's not going to bite." Steve started bringing the baby closer to James.
Steve didn't expect James to react the way he did.
"No!" He screamed pushing his dad’s leg to get him to move but obviously, Steve didn’t budge
“Careful James you don’t want to hurt the baby now do you?."
“Stupid baby. Hate baby." James shouted then ran to his room crying his eyes out.
"Do you want me to deal with him, babe?" Steve asked carefully passing baby you to her.
"No, it's okay just leave him to calm down in his own time." Natasha placed a kiss on your head then laid back on the couch and closed her eyes.
Most of the time Natasha wouldn't let James off with that behaviour but she was too tired and she didn't want to risk the tantrum that he will definitely throw to wake up the baby
---⧗---
A few hours later James quietly made his way downstairs and peeked his head inside the living room. His parents were sitting on the couch. Natasha was holding the baby and Steve was wiping the baby's face with a cloth.
James slowly walked in keeping his head down ashamed of his reaction earlier.
"Hey, sweetheart are you okay?" Natasha asked.
James nodded "sowy mama sowy daddy."
Steve moved over and patted the space in the middle of him and Natasha "it's okay son."
James climbed up on the spot in between his parents and got himself comfortable.
"You were just having too many big feelings about what was happening and you didn't know how to react right?" Natasha explained to James what happened.
James nodded in agreement.
"Do you think that you're ready to meet your new sister?" Natasha asked, "it's okay if you're not we can try again when you're ready there is no rush."
"Wedy now mama." James smiled at her
Natasha carefully put you in James' arms "James meet Y/N your new baby sister."
James smiled at the fragile little baby in his arms "Y/N. I love Y/N."
though James started off hating you it didn't last long he made sure that he was the best big brother to you. He Always protected you and did what he could to make you happy.

The Forgotten Child Part 2 (out of three)
Warning: mention of neglect and abuse
Then suddenly Tony Stark showed up at the home. He has a key since Peggy has always been close with, ever since he was a child. she saw him as a son she never had.
“So we have a bit of a crisis going on.” Tony began. “How come neither one of you answer your phone?”
“There turned off. It's dinner time.” Peggy answered. “You could eat with us if you like, Tony. Just grab a plate.”
“No thank you Aunt Peggy.” Tony answered. “Although I'm sure the food is great. I'm here on shield business.”
“What's wrong?” Peggy questioned.
Tony noticed the child sitting with them.
“No no no no no! What is wrong with you!?” Tony shouted looking toward Steve with shock and anger.
Then he glared at Steve then pointed to him.
“Him. Are you trying to get me fired? Or are you just unwilling to follow any instructions set for you? You were supposed to retrieve him and bring hin back to shield that was what was agreed on. That was your mission.”
“They told me I was retrieving a weapon, not a kid. I won't hand over a child to shield.” Steve answered. Very confident and sure of his decision. “I don't know what they are planning and if they didn't tell me I'm sure they think it's something I won't approve of.”
“We planned to protect him by sending him the Xavier school for the gifted.” Tony answered. “It's a boarding school where they take in kids who have super abilities-”
“I know if it. I sent my daughter there when it first opened. She loved it there.”
“Great! So let's send the kid there.” Tony replied. “The teachers can protect him from Hydra, they will take care of him and he will be with others like him. Then when he's older maybe he can join shield. It's a win win win.”
“No. He needs a family, not some school to turn him into a super hero.” Steve argued. “shield is just as bad as Hydra, they want to use him for their own advantage. What about what's best for him? He needs love, a home and individualized attention. He deserves the chance to be a normal kid and feel loved.”
“Hes not a normal kid! You don't know the first thing about him.” Tony rebuttaled. “He could be brainwashed for all you know. You don't even know what he can do. He could hurt you both. Are you willing to risk that!? Peggy is almost 86 years old, she can't fight him if he attacks her!”
“No I won't!” James shouted.
The boy hid behind Steve after he spoke. Steve picked him up and held him close in his arms.
“I won't hurt them. I don't want to hurt anyone.” James said quietly. “ I just want to be a normal kid.”
“I can protect myself and her,Tony, if need be.” Steve spoke. “I know I can help him to controlling his abilities. They were trying to recreate the super serum, so I'm sure his abilities will be similar to me.”
“Aunt Peggy talk some sense into him. You shouldn't be raising a child at your age. You should be celebrating life and living life to it's fullest.”
“Tony, enough.” Peggy said. “I think it's time to go.”
Tony couldn't believe, what he felt, was arrogance of these people. He didn't think they could do what they claimed. He felt this was a mistake that would hurt not only them but those around them.
Tony left but he didn't agree with there choice and he made sure to let shield know what really happened.
Shortly after Tony left Steve put James to bed. He brought him into his daughters old room. It was blue and had white furniture. There was some stuffed animals on the bed and posters of heros on the walls.
“Wow this is mine?” James asked.
“If you want it.”
James ran to the bed and climbed on to it. He cuddled all the stuffed animals on the bed, until he found the one he liked best. It was a brown teddy bear dressed in a tuxedo. Then he got under the blankets.
“Yeah I want it!” He said excitedly.
Steve smiled and picked a children's book from the shelf. Then he sat next to James in the bed.
Steve began to read the book and James cuddled up to him.
*****
“So then turtle made it to the finish line before the rabbit. He won the whole race by taking his time.” Steve concluded at the end of the story.
“The rabbit was dumb, he shouldnt have slept in the middle of the race.” James decided. “He should have been more focused and did some running.”
“Yeah I think so too.” Steve answered with a chuckle.
“The turtle was good at trying,” James added. “ he kept going even when they thought he wouldn't win.”
“Your a very smart kid. You figured it all out on your own. Im proud of you.”
The boy then hugged Steve.
Steve missed moments like this. When his girls were little they were so cute and attached to him. They were happy to spend all their time with him and Peggy. Now they were so busy with their own lives, they were lucky to see them in a week.
On a shelf in the room, James spotted a baseball cap.
“Why is that baseball cap on a shelf? Is it there because it's wrong. It says Brooklyn dodgers instead of LA and it has writing on it.”
Steve smiled.
“You know about baseball?” Steve asked confused. “Who taught you about it?’
“my mother. she explained the game to me. She stole a radio once from one of the agents. When no one was around and it was just the two of us, she would put it on on low.” James answered. “Sometimes she would play music, other times she would put the sports radio stations on for me. I always found the sound of the baseball games soothing.”
“That's really nice.” Steve answered.
“So whats with the hat? Why is it wrong?” James asked Steve.
“It's not wrong. The Dodgers used to play in Brooklyn when I was a kid. I loved the team ever since. When I had kids, I raised them loving the team. Jackie Robinson was the first black man to play on major league team. Durring his first season, in 1947, with the dodgers I got him to sign that cap. It's my most prized possession.”
“So why is it in here?” James asked.
“My daughter, Amy, loves baseball and the Dodgers as much as me.” Steve replied. “Me, I always loved to go to games together. When she was older I gave it to her.”
“That's nice. Wait you got that in 1947? Thats a really long time ago. Your really old.”
Steve laughed loudly.
“Yes I am, thanks for noticing.” Steve said sarcastically.
“But how old?”
“I think you should guess.”
“Umm…200!”
“Not that old. Less then that.” Steve chuckled.
“80?”
“More.”
“90?” James’s guessed.
“More.”
“No way! 100?”
“105.” Steve told him.
“Wow! I never met anyone that old!” James exclaimed. “You don't look it at all. How is that even possible to be that old?”
“Good diet and healthy habits.”
“No way. You have super powers, you said so before. That is probably how your so old.”
“Your very smart for a six year old.” Steve commented.
“They trained me to be at Hydra.” James explained. “They would take me out and make me watch videos on history, math, science, critical thinking and strategy. They even had videos on how to build things like bombs and weapons.”
Steve wasn't sure how to respond to that. He knew that him and Peggy would have the challenge of undoing what Hydra did to him. Helping him through his emotional trauma and helping him forget any bad things Hydra taught him. Building bombs and weapons, wasn't a task for a child to learn.
“Hey Steve, Peggy said that you and her will be my new mom and dad. So can I start calling you Dad then?”
“Of course you can.” Steve answered. Then he kissed the boys head.
He was surprised by this question, but welcomed it.
“Would Peggy be your mom then?” Steve asked.
“She said I could.” James answered nervously. Afraid to disappoint his new caregiver. “But I already had a mom and I loved her a lot. I don't want to replace her yet. I'm sorry.”
Steve hugged James.
“No it's okay, I understand.” Steve answered.
Steve kissed the boys head and then made his way to the door.
“Hey Dad.” James called out. “Thank you for saving me today and for bringing me here. You and Peggy are the nicest people in the world. I'm really glad that your my new family.”
“I'm glad I saved you too and that your here.” Steve answered. “Your a great kid. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more.”
“Good night.” James said.
“Good night.” Steve answered.
******
A month later.
“Peggy? Where are you?” James called out looking through the house.
There was silence.
“I'm gonna find you.” James stated into the air. “I'm the best finder.”
He passed by a closet and opened the door. There she was.
She popped out of the closet and then she began to tickle him.
He laughed loudly and hugged her neck.
“So whats the plan for today? What do you want do?” Peggy asked him.
“I want to go to the pool! I can't wait to show you how fast I can swim.”
“The pool it is, My Lovely Boy!” Peanswered happily. “First let's have some breakfast. I will make you some chocolate chip pancakes.”
“Can I help you this time? I will be really careful.” He told her looking at her pleadingly.
“Okay, but you have to be very very careful.” She warned kindly. “We don't want to waste ingredients or make a mess.”
“Thank you!”
She then picked him up and cradled him in her arms and kissed his face over and over. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
Peggy loved having James around. It gave her back a sense of purpose that she lost when she retired. Plus when her children growing up she was working so many hours and she felt like she missed a lot of there childhoods because of that. Now she had the opportunity to do things differently and be present in James’s life.
The two made pancakes together. They laughed and joked around with each other as always. Peggy showed James how to measure the ingredients and helped him pour it into the bowl.
“Can I ask you something?” James began.
“Always.” Peggy answered.
“When that man came trying to take me away, he mentioned a school for people with powers.” James began. “He said that I could learn to gain control of my powers and be with others like me. How you don't want me to go there?”
“Our daughter, Amelia, went to that school when it first opened. She was born with the ability to time travel and manipulate time.”
“No way that's so awesome!”
“Yes but when she was a little girl it caused her alot of issues. She would just randomly time travel and disappear for weeks even months. We didn't know what to do so we sent her to the school. It was a boarding school. Steve and I were determined to keep her home. We didn't want her to feel like we were abandoning her and we didn't want her to think we didn't love her. So we made a deal with Xavier. He allowed her to attend the school but she lived at home. He was fine with it because at the time he didn't have many students and he felt it an honor to train Captain America's child. I don't think the new headmaster would allow the same deal. Anyways Amy loved it there! She made so many life long friends and she learned to control her powers so precisely, plus she discovered abilities she didn't even know she had. When she came home she would show off.”
“So what's the problem? Sounds like a great place to be.”
“Well the main thing was that the school was constantly being attacked. The teachers were a super hero team and so the school became their headquarters. I was so afraid of her getting hurt there. Not only that but half the kids felt abandoned and disconnected to their families and the world outside the school walls. Many lashed out and became involved with villians. To be fair some of the student became heros, many did in fact. I just don't want to take that risk with you. I don't want you to expose any of that for you. I want you to feel loved and accepted and I want you to show you the good of the world, since you have seen so much of the bad already.”
James nodded.
“I think I understand.” James said. “You don't want me to be bad. You think if Im around bad people then I may become bad too.”
“With any child, the type of friends you keep effect who you are and who you become. Being a good person equals better opportunities and a better life.”
She was afraid that already having the bad influence of Hydra he would be more easily persuaded by those who are bad. She wanted to teach him how to be a good person and how to have a normal life. She wanted a good life for him.
“I never wanted to do bad things. Hydra wanted me to be bad and they forced me to do things I hated. They had me do bad things….really bad things. I want to be good though, my mother wanted me to be good. She always told me to listen to my heart and do what's right. She wanted me to disobey the agents, but I was always too scared.”
“We all get scared at times, James.” Peggy told him. “you made mistakes and you can't change that. You can choose what you do in your future. You choose to be what Hydra wanted or to be what your mother wanted.”
“I want to be good. Will you teach me?”
“Of course, My Lovely Boy. That's what Steve and I are here for.”
James hugged Peggy.
“I love you.” James said with tears in his eyes.
“I love you too.” Peggy answered, hugging him back.
James went to get into his bath suit and towel for the pool. As he was searching for his things he began to hear voices coming from the living room. One was Peggy and another was a deep voice she didn't recognize. He slowly walked out of his room and through the hall way. He saw a man talking to Peggy in the living room. The man looked scary to him. He was dressed all in black and wore an eye patch. James hid in his room, but opened the door slightly and peaked out.
“Peggy, you and Steve can't keep this child.” Nick fury spoke. “I know you want to help him. We do too and thats why we think he will be better off in the hands of professionals.”
“You have no right to be here.” Peggy spoke up. “Get out now.”
“We didn't interfere for a month. We let you have your fun playing mom. It's very clear, you two aren't able to manage him. “
“We are doing perfectly fine on our own. We don't need shield interference.” Peggy told him confidently.
“We understand there have been some incidents.”
“Of course there have been incidents. We are still learning about him and his abilities. He has powers that he just learning about now, that he never experienced before. Steve and I are thinking on our feet and coming up ways to help him. That's what parents do they see a problem and test out solutions. That's what we are doing.”
“He's out of control.”
“He's not. He's learning to control his abilities.”
“He was kicked out of a day camp because he scared the other children.”
“It was an accident. He banged his fist on a table and it went through. The other kid was teasing him and he told to stop and so James banged his fist on the table. Then he got upset when he saw what he did, so he ran out of the class and he ripped the door off.”
“You don't see how that's bad?”
“He didn't hurt anyone and he didn't do it out of anger. He was upset and frustrated cause someone was teasing him.”
“Incident number two, at the local park, he was playing with some kids. The children were racing, the child was clearly faster than the other kids. While trying to catch up to him one kid fell and injured her leg.”
“That could happen with kids without powers.” Peggy scuffed. “I told him no more racing after that. Plus Steve is teaching him to control his emotions, his strength and his speed. Steve has the same abilities as him, so he knows what to do to control these powers. It's just a matter of James putting into action what he learned.”
“This boy is dangerous! He needs more than Steve to keep him in check. He's a child that has the abilities of Captain America, if someone gets him upset he could kill someone!”
“He won't kill anyone, he's a kind boy and loving boy.”
“He was raised by Hydra for 6 years.” Nick fury rebutted. “they weren't just injecting him those six years they training him to be a weapon. They taught him how to fight, how to think.”
Nick fury handed her a Hydra file with James’s picture.
“I don't care what's in here.” Peggy spoke, throwing it into the trash. “Hydra makes people do crazy things. They have ways of bringing out the worst in people. That doesn't make them bad people. Steve and I can undo any damage Hydra has done to that boy. We been undoing Hydra's messes for years. He's a child and he deserves a chance to be normal, that's what he wants. Steve and I want to give him that.”
“If you won't give him willingly then we will just take him.” Fury spoke. “We have been patient with you, but we have to do what's best for the greater good.”
