[Comprehensive] First Lady

Chapter 66 The Captain and Her; My Rib, My Love

As Holly was convinced, Steve was elected.

On the night of billing, Holly held Dorothy and stayed by Steve's side.This is her first public appearance since she was shot, and she also took her newborn daughter with her.Of course, it has attracted the attention of the media and the public.

To Holly's surprise, people are full of tenderness and care for her.Maybe it was the effect of Steve, what Steve said to the world after she was shot, brought them good results.

"...The reporter is currently located at the SHIELD base, the headquarters code-named Sanfeishi.Later, the president-elect, Captain America, will take the stage to deliver his victory speech. 』

"We can see that at the scene, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have pulled out a cordon to prohibit crossing, and the heroes are behind, with Captain America.Perhaps it was the tragedy of the president's wife being shot last time, but this time the security of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been raised to the highest level.Behind the reporter and to the left of the camera, wearing a red cheongsam collar and a high-waisted flower bud skirt is our wife-to-be, the next first lady of the United States...』

Holly hugged Dorothy and stood between Natasha, James, and Peter. She looked at the reporters and photographers who were broadcasting live outside the blockade and kept pressing the shutter. Steve smiles.

"You should stand in front," Natasha said, walking with Holly. "The camera will bring you later."

"Okay." Holly responded, and accompanied by Natasha and Peter, she moved to the side of the podium.She pulled Dorothy's hat back carefully so the baby wouldn't be startled by the spotlight.

Dorothy leaned against Holly's chest, playing with the patterns embroidered with gold thread on Holly's chest with her little hands.

"No biting." Holly frowned and shook her head at Dorothy.She was so familiar, that was Dorothy's expression of wanting to bite her clothes just now.

Dorothy waved her little hand and smiled at Holly.Holly took the opportunity to stuff the pacifier into Dorothy's mouth.

Holly is also wearing a mask today.She wasn't sure when Steve was going to take off the helmet, she would be revealing his identity at the same time as Steve.This is something they agreed upon.

Amid the applause, the sound of the shutter, and the anticipation of everyone, Steve stood on the podium and delivered his victory speech.

"*Thank you for coming today."

Steve spoke and looked around at the reporters and the general public present.He knew that Holly was holding Dorothy, standing beside him, less than three steps away.This allows him to maintain peace of mind while facing the victory and the expectations of the world.

"It is a great honor to be elected president by the American people. The United States is now in crisis, people are divided, mutual suspicion, domestic political instability, and many problems waiting to be resolved and improved."

"Americans ask me to be a leader, and I ask Americans to stand up for themselves. My grandmother told me not to look for challenges by strength, but to look for strength by challenges. Children, I know growing up in despair And the teaching I have received is that everyone should do their best to take care of each other, play their best value, and work together for a better tomorrow for the United States.”

"America today is divided, divided among us, and shattered our trust in each other."

"I want to tell you that our country, the United States of America, is a nation of people of all ages, rich and poor, of party affiliation; of color, black and white, Latino, Asian, Native American; A land of the free working together, we are not a patchwork of sand, nor a patchwork of red and blue states."

"This crisis requires each of us to do our part in rebuilding our national cohesion and finding the strength to meet the challenge. We are, and always will be, the United States of America."

"If called, I will answer. In the beginning, I left everything to answer the call of my country. Now, I realize that I can do more for my country. I have decided to answer the call of the people .I accept the results of this election—”

Speaking of which, Steve raised his head and looked directly at the camera directly in front of him.

Steve's face was magnified on screens broadcast across the United States and around the world.

It's anyone's guess what Steve is going to do.

The scene was silent.The world held its breath.

Steve takes off his helmet.

Amidst the gasped exclamation of the reporters and the endless sound of the shutter, Steve turned up the volume.

"I, Steven Rogers, Captain America, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States of America, dutifully dutifully upholding, protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States."

"In this campaign, I want to thank my campaign team, my supporters and my opponents. My teammates, who are like family to me. My deputy, Hawke, and more importantly, my Best friend. I wouldn’t be here without her support and leadership.”

Steve said, smiling.He turned his head and looked at Holly under the podium.

The media quickly turned to Holly.

Holly looked at Steve and smiled.She handed Dorothy to Natasha, and at Steve's invitation, she walked up to the podium and took off the mask.

Steve took Holly's hand and both faced the camera.

"She is the rock of my family, the light to my feet, my rib, my love. The next first lady of this country, Holly Rogers."

"I won't forget who this victory belongs to. This victory belongs to you. You didn't choose me to win, you didn't choose me. You did it because you knew we were facing an existential crisis."

"I know that at this moment, our military is still patrolling the desert, dying in the mountains. We need to develop new energy sources, build new schools, create jobs, deal with external dangers, and repair friendly relations."

"The road is long and long, and the uphill is difficult. I need your help, and at the same time, I promise you that we will unite and move forward hand in hand. To those who want to tear the world apart, I want to say: I will break you. To those who To those who seek peace and security, I say: I will support you."

"This is true Americanism. We can do it. God bless America and may God bless you all. Thank you."

Thunderous applause resounded throughout New York.In the blue sky and tall buildings, amidst reporters' questioning and spotlights, Steve led Holly to board the Kun machine.

"Captain! Will you be in the White House!" Someone asked loudly.

Holly turned her head and looked at Steve with a smile.Steve looked back, yelling at the man.

"America is my White House!"

Steve took Holly to the Kun machine without looking back.On the plane, his teammates were already waiting for him.

"Let's take Holly and Dorothy home first, and then go to the mission," James said.He is in charge of driving.

"Sorry, I have a question. Did someone make a public flash in the victory speech just now?" Tony teased.

Holly smiled and kissed Steve.

"That's the flash," Holly said, looking at Tony.

After recovering, Steve realized that his formal proposal plan had been postponed again.This is something he only remembered after two months in office.

All in all, life in the Rogers household, with Steve becoming president, has gotten too busy.Holly just takes care of the baby and has no time to take care of anything else, but as the first lady, she has to attend many banquets, not to mention her work.

These things make Holly feel stressed.She didn't want Steve to feel guilty and worried, so she did what she could on her own, but that only made things worse.Every day, Holly feels like she is being stretched to the tightest string, which may break at any time and hurt the people around her.

In Steve's third month in office, he has fulfilled his first campaign promise -- to shift domestic energy use from oil to solar energy.

On the day the executive order was promulgated, Holly attended a high-society lady gathering in the morning, went to the hospital for a routine physical examination at noon, and rushed home in the afternoon to take care of Dorothy who had a sudden fever.

In the fifth month of Steve's tenure, he announced the "immigration reform policy" in the form of an executive order.The second political opinion practice.Meanwhile, reforms to the tax and education systems, as well as the Voting Rights Commission, are proceeding as planned.

During the days of media coverage and public euphoria, Holly was tending to Dorothy with diarrhea.When she opened her eyes, the only thing she could think of was Dorothy's poo.What color, when, how much.

She hasn't seen Steve for two weeks.

It all happened so suddenly that Holly couldn't remember the last night she saw Steve.They barely had waking hours together, and Holly felt more alone than ever, knowing that Steve wasn't gone.

"...Did I wake you up?"

Lying on the bed, Holly opened her eyes slightly to see that Steve had just showered and was getting ready for bed.

The clock by the bed told Holly it was three o'clock in the morning.

Holly pursed her lips slightly, unable to respond to Steve.

Steve got under the covers and turned off the lights.They hug each other in the dark.

"Holly," Steve whispered.

Holly responded nasally.She doesn't want to talk.She was afraid that she would cry when she opened her mouth.

Then Steve hugged her tightly.

"Just a few more months," Steve murmured. "Baby, just a few more months. I promise you, when everything is done, we'll be back to how we used to be."

That was their last conversation.

Six months into Steve's tenure, a civil war broke out in a small country in South America.

As President of the United States, Steve had to take a stand.Based on the information given by the former auxiliary election strategist, Jian Boding, he chose to support the rebels.Bodin was deeply involved in this political storm, and she sided with the rebels, trying to help the local people get a better life.And Steve trusted his secondary election strategist.

To avoid being overly drawn into the war, Steve supports local rebels with solar weapons.

Then something happened.

After the rebel victory, Steve is invited to visit the country.After arriving there, Steve discovered that the leader of the rebel army had been replaced by the Red Skull, and Bodine had been kidnapped and taken hostage.The Red Skull designed Steve at the state banquet, imprisoned him, and broadcast the video of Steve's kidnapping worldwide.

The Red Skull announced in the video that he had analyzed the solar weapons supported by the United States, cracked them, and controlled the solar satellites of the United States, which can be used as offensive weapons at any time.He took aim at Washington, ready to attack.

At the last moment, Steve manages to break free and stop the Red Skull.

The solar-powered satellite changes direction, aiming at where the Red Skull and Steve are.
