Steve shatters as much as he'll ever allow himself to in public in regards to his wife's condition. His eyes well up with tears. It takes a lot of willpower to keep his voice steady as he reaches out to touch Pepper's shoulder reassuringly. "I know. I wish she could be here too."
He always notices her absence. Days like today it's nearly unbearable because he knows what she would do. She'd hold her head up high and make sure the couple got their due. Peggy would be so proud of them and no illness would rob her of that later. He wishes not for the first time she had gotten the serum instead even knowing logically that had a whole different set of serious problems. The fact her husband would have never made it to thirty for example.
He forces a smile and tries to sound okay. "She'll have this for a little while. You'll both make her very happy."
