章節 43: Chapter 43 Gold and Sword
They better give us the privacy that we want with Susan, or I'll crush their cameras without a second thought.", Peggy chuckled as Steve nodded.
"I'll help you with that. Susan deserves to have her privacy; she doesn't have to be famous like her parents if she doesn't want to.", Steve said.
Peggy chuckled, "Indeed.", smiling at Susan who was slowing down now with her meal, and Steve sighed warmly, "I still can't believe that she's here...".
Peggy kissed his cheek, "Believe it, luv. Susan is part of us, and we are part of her. We will be there to support her, to love her, to have faith in her,
and be her parents all the time.", with a firm nod, and felt Susan let go, giving out a burp.
Steve went to receive Susan as Peggy went to get the bra back on, and zip the part of her outfit back on, and watched Steve play with their daughter once more.
A few minutes later, a familiar voice spoke, "I couldn't believe my ears when I heard about you with a baby in tow on the radio, Miss Carter.".
Peggy and Steve looked over to see Dr. Erskine standing on a big boulder. Steve blinked in surprise, "When did you come in, Doc?".
"Flying boat. As soon as word reached that Eris was here and the beach was secured, I was quickly flown in.", Erskine explained. "I'll still need to exam her body, of course.".
"A few GIs are guarding her body; under orders at the risk of a court martial if they do anything without express orders from General Bradley.", Steve told him.
Erskine smiled, "Good. May I know her name?", nodding at the baby in Steve's arms, and
Steve smiled, scooting down to Erskine's level, adjusting Susan to see better.
Susan peered shyly with an eye as she tucked in Steve's chest, "It's okay, princess. This is my very good friend and doctor,
Abraham Erskine. Doc, say hello to Susan Viola Carter-Rogers, my and Peggy's daughter.".
Erskine smiled warmly, bowing playfully, "Why, hello, look how beautiful you are, Susan.", and Susan blinked,
recognizing his voice as she heard it sometimes in the womb, and cooed quietly, tilting her head in confusion to see that Erskine isn't big like her parents, reaching out to him hesitantly and carefully.
Erskine smiled, his hand touching Susan's pinky, "Remarkable. You truly are the image of your parents, dear one...", amazed to see such innocence yet intelligence in her eyes.
Susan gurgled happily, growing out of her shell, seeing that Erskine isn't bad at all, and decided to shrink down to an Amazonian baby size.
Steve gasped, watching her in near fright as Susan gave a squeal, reaching to Erskine on Steve's palm, and
Erskine looked up, "May I?", and Steve exhaled, nodding, carefully moving his palm close to Erskine, and Erskine picked Susan up, held her with the air of an experienced father.
"You look surprised.", Erskine chuckled. "I was a father once, remember?", with a warm smile. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot...", Steve said as Erskine nodded and sighed.
"Of course, my wife and children are gone now, some of the earlier victims of the Nazis.", Erskine spoke bittersweetly.
"Well, at least their days are numbered for sure now. We've managed to secure the beach and hopefully will start driving inland.", Peggy smiled with a feeling of hope in her heart. "How are the other beaches going, do you know?".
"I've heard that the Americans at Utah also faced light resistance and have secured their beach. The British, I think, are finishing up Gold and
Sword while the Canadians are still fighting at Juno, but it shouldn't last too much longer since Gold and Sword can support them.", Erskine informed.
Peggy nodded, "That's a good relief to hear.", watching Susan protectively as she played with
Erskine's fingers very gently, gurgling and cooing as she can sense that Erskine is fragile in a way.
"She really is taking to you, doc. She has a shy side and a stubborn side and a playful side.", Peggy replied warmly, and Erskine smiled softly, "I can tell. Size-changing, it's a good ability.".
Steve replied, "She also has invisibility and something else we never saw before.", and Erskine nodded,
"So, she definitely got the Quantonium and the Serum in her body then.", with a chuckle, "Must have been a hell of a shock when she came out of nowhere.".
Peggy chuckled, "Understatement of the century. I really thought I was dying, and when we realized that I was in labor,
giving birth, we were scared as we truly thought that it was too early, but when she came, she grew up, clearly full developed, and very much alive...She was the one behind the gas and bellyaches.", with a smile.
Erskine laughed warmly, "Wow. So, the Quantonium or the Serum must have put a high speed on the aging.
Susan's quite healthy, I can tell, and her heartbeat is strong.", with a smile as he tickled Susan's belly, causing her to squeal happily, "And of course, her lungs is quite well-developed. Honestly, I don't think that there's nothing wrong with her, and of course, she's clearly yours.".
Steve sighed in relief, "Thanks, doc. That means a lot to us.", and Peggy nodded, relieved as well, seeing Colonel Phillips coming up, and he bellowed,
"Did I hear gossip or truth about the fact that you gave birth on a battleground, Captain Carter?!".
Susan squealed out of fright, turning invisible, turning on her force fields, and hovered back into Steve's arms,
colliding into him as she grew up back to her giant size, and Steve was surprised for a second before murmuring to Susan, trying to reassure her as she partially turned visible, whimpering.
Erskine slapped Colonel Phillps's shoulder in anger, "Don't do that, Phillips! You scared her!", knowing that Peggy would have done that, but Erskine did it first.
"Sorry...", Phillips quickly apologized as even he wasn't that blunt in the head not to at least take how a baby can act when startled into account. "I'm just stunned to hear and now see the truth about the
