Beck got up earlier than usual that morning, lying in Steve's giant arms with her head on his giant chest. His chin touched her forehead and her nose touched his neck, it was such a sweet familiarity. They'd always slept like that.

Slowly, she unraveled herself from his long arms and pulled on her robe. "Where're you going, baby?" Steve muttered, not even awake.

"Just need some air." she kissed his forehead before leaving the room. Ducky wagged his tail down the hall to meet Beck and she patted his head as he followed her into the kitchen. She relived the events of the night before, which seems a different world to her. She remembered the girls that approached them at the bar. Were they right? Did she not give him what he needed. He only stayed with her before because he thought no one else would take him. But he was huge now, just like the girls liked. He could have anyone he wanted, what would stop him from leaving her?

"Baby, what's wrong with you?" Steve asked as he walked into the kitchen with just his shorts on, pulling the dish towel out of Beck's hands.

"Nothing." She snatched the towel back and went back to drying the dishes.

"Beck, you cleaned the whole apartment, everything is spotless."

"So?"

"So, you only clean like this when you're upset. Tell me what's wrong." He held her wrists in a gentle grasp to pull her attention away from cleaning.

"You're huge." She stated.

Steve blushed. "Yea?"

"Pretty girls like huge guys." She pulled her hands away from him and put the last cup in the cabinet before she grabbed the broom to sweep the kitchen. She'd been thinking about it ever since they met those girls at the bar. Now that Steve was big and tall, pretty girls would want him.

"That's what you're upset about? You think I'd do that to you?"

"I'm not half as beautiful as any of the girls that want to hang around you now. You should just..."

"No you're not." He said truthfully. "You're better than they are. You think I don't know they're only hanging around because I look different now? You've always loved me, Beck, even before the serum when no other woman would even look my way. You loved me and I loved you then, I love you now, and I'll always love you." He told her softly. She leaned the broom against the wall, sighing shakily.

"Steve, I'm not-"

"You're the most beautiful woman in the world to me, nothing is ever going to change that." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Forever?" He leaned down and rested his forehead on hers.

"Yes," she smiled.

"Good." He reached into his back pocket, wrapping his fingers around the small box there. He smiled as he lowered himself to the ground. "Rebecca Barnes, will you allow me the great pleasure of spending the rest of my life with you."

"Steve... yes!" She cried holding her hand out for him. He stood up, kissing her lips with a smile.
