Summary
It doesn’t escape his notice that she’s wearing a festive tea-length emerald green dress, though she’d sworn up and down when the package from Howard’s seamstress arrived that she had no use for holiday maternity frocks, as she intended to have this baby well before Christmas, thank you very much.
Peggy tugs on the wide end of her husband’s necktie. “Daniel Sousa,” she says, threat implicit as she executes a perfect four-in-hand, “if you think you’re leaving me in this house alone – ”
The Sousas attend a wedding.

Peggy groans and buries her face in the pillow. “Remind me why we had children again?” she asks, voice muffled.
“Because we wanted them,” Daniel reminds her, pulling the covers up strategically before their 7-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter can burst through the door.
The Sousas take their children to visit Santa.

Michael watches his father cross the kitchen, peer through the blinds and shake his head at the snow for the tenth time that hour. “Was he this bad when you were pregnant?” Michael asks his mother, handing her a cup of tea.
Peggy’s eyes flicker up from the report she’s reading at the table to follow her husband across the room. “Worse,” she says grimly. “Remember, I was on bed rest with your sister.”
Peggy and Daniel's son isn't a spy.

Summary
Peggy excuses herself. Not that anyone can hear her over the din, but her son’s dark eyes are already heavily-lidded, and this she doesn’t need to see. She retreats to the kitchen and drains her rocks glass in a single gulp, leaning back against the sink. Peggy closes her eyes. Her first Christmas without Daniel.
“I know why I’m hiding out in here,” a familiar voice jokes, “but the wolves think you work for the phone company.”
Grief, Peggy finds, comes on when you least expect it.

Summary
“Hi,” Sharon says cautiously.
The deep voice on the other end is instantly recognizable. “Merry Christmas, Agent Carter.”
Sharon reminds herself that Steve wouldn’t know how hard she worked to separate herself from Peggy’s legacy, that she once threw a knife at a classmate who made that joke at the Academy, that no one at S.H.I.E.L.D. dared to call her that ever again. “Merry Christmas, Captain Rogers.”
After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharon wonders if she ever knew her great-aunt at all.
