He grinned in response. "Thanks for that," he replied, half teasing. It was different, being so open with people, but Steve was confident he would figure out his way. He would never want to get in the way of a relationship, particularly if a couple chose to keep the baby as opposed to giving the child up to Arva, but that was probably something that would come up on a case by case basis. And if Natasha ever asked him to father her child, he'd say yes in a heartbeat no matter what. She was one of his best friends and she had a special place in his heart, even if - back home - that hadn't been more than partners on the field.
"I did meet Nick, yea. He was kind of defensive at first, but I got him to come around. Pepper, too." He was aware of some of the things the previous version of him had done, but the important part was that people seemed to be willing to give him the chance to prove he was different. Part of that was going to be building a crib for Pepper and Wedge's child, which he'd already started on. It was a bit of a learning curve, but he was doing his best. "He's a nice guy, and you could do a lot worse." He was smart enough to read between the lines, because if she was worried about saying the wrong name, it probably had something to do with sex.
"It is good to know I'm not so easily replaced," Steve added with a small smirk.
