Ok ok ok, I saw a tiktok the other day of a woman giving birth ON THE SIDE TOF THE ROAD because her contractions and everything came so fast. How do you think Bucky would react to this kind of thing? While he probably has med training from being in the Army/Avengers he's still also just a man worried about his wife and baby? Please please pleaseeee make me cry!
i saw a video like this the other day too! #new fear unlocked
-------
The first contraction hits while you’re still laughing.
It folds you in half mid-sentence, steals the air right out of your lungs, turns your spine rigid as your hand clamps around Bucky’s forearm. He goes still immediately, all humor draining from his face as he watches you, blue eyes sharpening into something alert and searching.
“Hey,” he says softly, already moving closer. “Talk to me, doll. What’s that?”
You try to brush it off, because it can’t be time yet, it’s too soon, you’ve got weeks, you’ve got plans, but then it hits again, harder, sharper, a deep, pulling ache that makes your knees buckle.
Bucky catches you before you can even think about falling.
“Okay,” he breathes, voice steady even as his hands tighten around you. “Okay, that’s not nothing.”
The next ten minutes are a blur of movement. He gets you into the car, one hand braced behind your head so you don’t hit the doorframe, the other gripping yours like he’s afraid you’ll slip away if he lets go. Your hospital bag gets tossed in the backseat, your phone forgotten on the kitchen counter, and then he’s behind the wheel, engine roaring to life.
He's too calm.
It’s the kind of calm that comes from years of training, from missions where panic gets people killed. His breathing is even, his voice low and controlled as he glances between the road and you, counting the seconds between your contractions like it’s second nature.
“Breathe with me,” he murmurs, squeezing your hand. “In through your nose, slow. I’ve got you. You’re doing good.”
But underneath it, buried deep where he hopes you won’t notice, is fear.
Real, gut-deep fear.
Because you’re not supposed to be screaming in pain ten minutes into the drive. You’re not supposed to be gripping the seat so hard your knuckles go white. You’re not supposed to be gasping out, “Bucky, something’s wrong—this is too fast—”
And then your water breaks.
It soaks through your leggings, warm and sudden, and Bucky’s head snaps toward you so fast it’s almost violent.
“Okay,” he says again, but this time it’s tighter. Thinner. “Okay, that’s—okay.”
He presses harder on the gas.
The hospital is still fifteen minutes away when you cry out, a broken, desperate sound that rips straight through him.
“I need to push.”
The words hit him like a gunshot.
For a second he freezes.
Because he knows what that means. He’s been through enough emergency scenarios, enough battlefield triage, enough late-night briefings with medical teams to recognize it instantly.
There is no way you’re making it to the hospital.
“Shit,” he breathes, already scanning the road. His grip on the steering wheel tightens, vibranium fingers digging into the leather hard enough to crease it. “Shit, okay, okay—hang on, baby, just—”
Another contraction hits you, and your entire body curls forward with a sob.
That’s it.
He swerves the car onto the shoulder without hesitation, gravel crunching under the tires as he slams it into park. He’s out of the driver’s seat before the engine even fully dies, sprinting around to your side, yanking the door open.
“Look at me,” he says, dropping to his knees beside you, his hands cradling your face. His voice is firm now, commanding in a way you’ve only heard on missions. “Hey. You stay with me, okay? I’ve got you.”
You’re crying, shaking, terrified, and he hates it.
He hates that you’re in pain. Hates that this isn’t safe and controlled and planned the way it was supposed to be. Hates that he can’t take it from you, can’t carry it the way he’s carried everything else.
But there’s no time for that.
Another contraction hits, and you scream.
He’s all instinct now, controlled precious of a soldier in combat. He helps you shift, supporting your back, guiding your breathing, murmuring constant reassurances even as his heart pounds so hard he can feel it in his throat.
“You’re okay,” he keeps saying, over and over, like he can make it true just by repeating it. “You’re okay, I’ve got you, you’re doing so good—”
You cling to him, nails digging into his shirt, your forehead pressed to his shoulder as your body takes over.
“Bucky, I can’t—” you sob.
“You can,” he cuts in immediately, voice fierce. “You can, you are. You hear me? You’re doing it right now.”
His metal hand braces your thigh, steady and unyielding, while his other hand grips yours, grounding you through every wave of pain.
He talks you through it.
Every breath. Every push.
His voice is the only thing keeping you tethered until you both hear the cry.
Tiny, unmistakeable and entirely mad at life.
Everything stops.
For a moment, the world goes completely, utterly silent.
Bucky’s hands tremble as he lifts your baby, his breath catching hard in his chest. There’s blood, there’s chaos, there’s the distant sound of cars rushing past—but none of it matters.
Because your baby is crying.
Because you’re here.
Because you both made it.
“Hey,” he whispers, voice breaking in a way you’ve never heard before. “Hey, I’ve got you… I’ve got you…”
He places the baby against your chest with hands that are suddenly so, so gentle, like you’re both made of glass, then he looks at you.
Really looks at you.
Your tear-streaked face, your exhausted smile, the way you’re already reaching for your baby like nothing else in the world exists.
His throat tightens.
“You did that,” he says softly, brushing your hair back with shaking fingers. “You—God, you did that, sweetheart.”
His forehead presses against yours, eyes slipping shut for just a second.
Relief crashes over him so hard it almost knocks the breath out of his lungs.
He laughs then, hysterically, as he cups the back of your head, holding you both close.
“We gotta work on your timing,g” he murmurs, voice thick with emotion. “Couldn’t wait for the hospital, huh?”
But his hand never stops trembling.
And neither does the way he keeps looking at you, like he almost lost everything.
Like he’s never going to take a single second with you for granted again.

Can we get a fluff dad!bucky fic where someone else on the team get's his kids a karaoke machine for whatever reason and it's just bucky simultaniously loseing his mind and plotting his revenge😂
Bucky knows something is wrong the second he walks into the compound and it’s… quiet.
Not the mormal quiet either. This is the kind of eerie, suspicious silence that sets off every alarm in his brain. The kind that used to mean ambush. Trap. Danger.
Now it usually means his kids are up to something.
He drops his keys into the bowl by the door and narrows his eyes down the hallway. “Alright,” he calls, voice low and cautious. “What’re you two doin’?”
No answer.
That’s strike one.
He steps further inside, boots heavy against the floor, scanning like he’s clearing a building. The living room looks fine. Couch intact. No suspicious glitter explosions. No suspicious paint.
But then—
A faint crackle of static.
Followed by—
“Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh—Lila, press it again!”
“And then what? Does it make it louder?!”
Bucky freezes.
He turns slowly toward the kitchen.
Strike two.
Because whatever that is? That is not normal kid chaos. That is… amplified chaos.
He rounds the corner and stops dead in the doorway.
There, sitting proudly on the kitchen table like it’s some kind of sacred offering, is a bright pink karaoke machine. It’s got blinking lights, two microphones, and a speaker that looks way too powerful for something designed for children.
And behind it are his girls.
Six-year-old Lila Barnes is gripping one microphone like she’s about to address a stadium, curls bouncing as she hops in place. Her younger sister, four-year-old Rosie, is holding the other, pressing buttons with reckless abandon.
The machine screeches as feedback rings through the room.
Bucky flinches.
Hard.
“…what,” he says slowly, “is that?”
Both girls spin around like they’ve been caught red-handed.
“Daddy!” Rosie squeals, completely unbothered by the sonic assault she just unleashed. “Look what Uncle Sam got us!”
Strike tree.
Bucky closes his eyes for a long, suffering second.
Of course it was Sam.
Of course it was.
Because this has Wilson written all over it—bright, loud, and specifically designed to test Bucky’s patience.
“Oh, he did, did he?” Bucky mutters, already filing this away under revenge pending. “That was real nice of him.”
“Isn’t it amazing?!” Lila says, bouncing on her toes. “We can sing into it and it makes us sound like pop stars!”
Rosie slams another button.
Music explodes out of the speaker.
Bucky physically recoils.
The opening beats of some aggressively upbeat kids’ pop song fill the kitchen, and before he can even process what’s happening, both girls lift their microphones.
“LET IT GOOOO—”
They are not singing the right song. They are not singing on key. They are not even singing the same words.
But they are loud.
So, so loud.
Bucky presses his lips together, staring at them like he’s trying to remain calm in the face of psychological warfare.
“Doll,” he says carefully, voice tight, “maybe we don’t need it that loud—”
“LOUDER?!” Rosie gasps, delighted.
She presses something.
The volume increases.
Bucky watches his life flash before his eyes.
“—that is the opposite of what I said,” he mutters weakly.
But it’s too late.
Because now Lilaa is spinning in circles, hair flying, belting into the microphone with the confidence of someone who has never once doubted herself.
Rosie joins her, marching in tiny dramatic steps, waving her arm like she’s on stage.
“AND IIIIIII—”
“WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUU—"
Different song. Wrong again.
Bucky drags a hand down his face.
Somewhere in the distance, he can practically hear Sam laughing.
“Oh, you’re dead,” Bucky murmurs under his breath. “You are so dead, Wilson.”
“Daddy, sing with us!” Lila demands, shoving the microphone toward him mid-spin.
Bucky leans back like it’s a weapon.
“Nope. Nope, I don’t—”
Rosie grabs his hand, tiny fingers sticky and insistent. “C’mon, Daddy! You gotta!”
He looks down at her.
Big eyes. Gap-toothed grin. Absolute excitement vibrating out of her.
Then he looks at Lila, who’s practically bouncing out of her skin waiting for him to join.
Bucky exhales.
Because of course.
Of course this is his life now.
“Alright,” he sighs, rolling his shoulders like he’s preparing for battle. “Alright, fine. Gimme that thing.”
The girls erupt in cheers.
Rosie shoves the second microphone into his metal hand like she’s arming him.
The music is still blasting—wrong song, wrong pitch, wrong everything—but the girls don’t care.
And apparently neither does he.
Bucky clears his throat.
“Okay,” he says, trying to figure out what the hell they’re even singing. “What’s the song?”
“Just sing!” Lila yells.
Helpful.
Real helpful.
The next verse starts, something about dancing and sunshine, and Bucky goes for it.
He doesn’t know the words.
He doesn’t know the tune.
But he sings anyway, voice rough and deep, completely mismatched with the bright, chaotic music.
The girls lose their mind over it. They laugh, shrieking as they spin around him, grabbing his hands, pulling him into their little performance.
Rosie jumps onto his foot, using it as a stage.
Lila grabs his arm, dragging him into a clumsy spin.
“DADDY’S SINGING!” Rosie screams like it’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened.
Bucky laughs so hard his chest aches, letting himself get pulled into their orbit, into their joy, into this ridiculous, noisy, overwhelming moment.
The kitchen is chaos.
The music is too loud.
The singing is objectively terrible.
And it’s perfect.
Absolutely perfet.
Hours later, when the machine finally runs out of battery and the girls collapse into a giggling heap on the floor, Bucky leans against the counter, catching his breath.
Rosie climbs into his arms, already half-asleep, while Lila curls against his side.
“Best present ever,” Lila mumbles.
Bucky presses a kiss to the top of her head.
“Yeah,” he says softly, voice warm despite himself. “Yeah, I guess it is.”
But as he glances at the silent karaoke machine, his eyes narrow just a little.
Ok but picture the ultimate girl dad!Bucky with his daughters. Like the whole family is just having a movie day or something. One of his girls is curled up next to him, another is doing his hair, and if we're feeling frisky, the rest are just bumbling around him going "look at this daddy", "daddy let me cuddle too", etc. Bucky Barnes was made for little girls!!
oh, so i cried. cool cool coolio for sureeeee
--------
The living room is a mess.
Blankets are everywhere—half draped over the couch, half trailing onto the floor. Popcorn litters the coffee table, along with three different juice boxes (only one of them actually finished) and a scattering of tiny plastic tiaras that somehow made their way into the movie setup. The TV hums softly in the background, some animated movie playing that no one is fully paying attention to anymore.
Bucky Barnes sits in the center of it all like the calm in a storm.
Or… well. As calm as he can be.
“Daddy, don’t move,” Maisie insists, her small fingers carefully separating a section of his hair. She’s perched behind him on the back of the couch, tongue poking out in concentration as she attempts what she proudly declared was going to be “a braid like Elsa.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Bucky murmurs, perfectly still despite the slight tugging.
On his right side, curled into him like she belongs there, is Lila. She’s tucked against his flesh arm, her cheek pressed to his chest, thumb absentmindedly brushing along the seam of his shirt. Her legs are thrown over his lap, fully claiming him as her personal pillow.
“I’m comfy,” she mumbles, already half-asleep.
“You look comfy, bug,” he says softly, dipping his head just enough to press a kiss to her hair—careful not to disrupt Maisie’s “masterpiece.”
That lasts all of three seconds.
“Daddy!”
Bucky barely has time to react before something collides into his left side—hard.
“Oof—” His vibranium arm comes up instinctively, steadying the small body now attempting to climb him like he’s a jungle gym.
“Look what I made!” Nora announces proudly, shoving a slightly crumpled drawing directly into his line of sight.
He shifts just enough to see it without disturbing the rest of his very delicate situation.
It’s… colorful.
Very colorful.
There’s a stick figure with long hair (you), a bigger one with a square torso (him, he assumes), and four smaller figures scattered around. One of them appears to have wings.
“Is that me?” he asks, tapping the larger figure.
Nora beams. “Yeah! And that’s you too—” she points to another one. “But that’s you when you’re a superhero.”
“Ah,” he nods solemnly. “I can tell by the… wings.”
“They’re not wings,” she says, scandalized. “That’s your metal arm.”
“Of course it is,” Bucky corrects immediately. “How could I miss that?”
Satisfied, Nora scrambles into his lap—well, what little lap space remains between her and Lila.
“Daddy, I wanna cuddle too.”
“C’mere, sweetheart.” He shifts carefully, adjusting his legs so she can wedge herself in without knocking Lila off entirely.
Behind him, Maisie groans. “Daddy, you moved!”
“Sorry, sweetheart,” he says, freezing again mid-adjustment. “Won’t happen again.”
“That braid better be worth it,” you murmur from where you’re sitting cross-legged on the floor, trying (and failing) not to laugh.
Bucky shoots you a look that says help me, but there’s no real distress behind it. His eyes are soft, warm, glowing in that way they only ever do when he’s surrounded like this.
When he’s theirs.
“Daddy!”
Another voice this time—Ellie—coming in at full speed from the hallway. She’s clutching a stuffed bunny in one hand and something shiny in the other.
“I found this!” she declares, climbing onto the armrest next to him.
“What’d you find, El?” he asks, shifting his vibranium hand to steady her before she can topple over.
“It’s your dog tags!” she says, dangling them in front of his face.
His chest tightens for half a second—old memories, old weight—but it melts just as quickly when she beams at him like she’s discovered treasure.
“You wanna wear them?” he asks gently.
Her eyes go wide. “Really?”
“Really.”
He carefully lifts them over his head, placing them around her neck. They hang comically low, nearly to her stomach, but she doesn’t care.
“I’m just like you!” she announces proudly.
“Yeah, you are,” he says softly, brushing his thumb over her cheek.
Now there are four of them on him.
Maisie behind him, still braiding with fierce determination.
Lila half-asleep against his chest.
Nora sprawled across his lap, holding her drawing like it’s sacred.
Ellie perched beside him, dog tags clinking as she wiggles with excitement.
And then—
“Daddy, I wanna sit too!”
The smallest voice yet.
She toddles over with unsteady steps, dragging a blanket behind her like a royal train. Her curls are a mess, her pajama top twisted, and her lip slightly stuck out in a pout.
“There’s no room,” she declares, deeply offended.
Bucky exhales a quiet laugh.
“C’mere, Pip.”
He somehow shifts again, making space by pulling her up onto his chest, right above Lila.
“There we go,” he murmurs, settling her carefully so she doesn’t squish her sister.
Piper immediately melts into him, tiny hands fisting in his shirt.
“All my girls,” he murmurs under his breath.
You catch it.
Of course you do.
Your heart does that soft, aching thing it always does when he says stuff like that—like he still can’t believe this is his life. Like he’s still waiting for it to disappear.
It won’t.
Not this.
Not the way Maisie proudly announces, “Daddy, I’m done!” and holds up what can only be described as the most chaotic braid you’ve ever seen.
Not the way Nora immediately demands, “Can I do the other side?”
Not the way Ellie leans into him, whispering, “I love you, Daddy.”
Not the way Piper is already snoring softly against his chest.
Not the way Lila sleepily murmurs, “Best movie day ever.”
Bucky just sits there in the middle of it all—hair half-braided, arms full, heart fuller—looking like a man who was carved from war but somehow remade for this.
For them.
For five little girls who see him not as something broken or dangerous, but as theirs.
“Love you too, doll,” he murmurs quietly, not even sure which one he’s answering.
could you do buckys wife who has just given birth a couple of months ago and they’ve left the baby with her grandparents for the night so they can have a night in and reader is panicking because shehasnt had a night to herself since the baby was born and bucky reassuring her and just super fluffy with them taking a bath together and bucky washing her hair and relieving her swollen breasts and just full on pampering her and praising her for being the best mom ever
The silence feels wrong and unfamiliar.
You stand in the middle of the living room, arms folded tight across your chest, listening to it. No soft baby noises drifting from the monitor. No tiny hiccups or sleepy little sighs. No sudden panic that you forgot something—diaper, bottle, blanket—because for the first time in months, there’s nothing you’re responsible for in this exact moment.
And that’s the problem.
“I don’t like it,” you say, voice small.
From the couch, Bucky looks up immediately. He’s been watching you for the last five minutes, tracking the way you’ve paced from the kitchen to the hallway and back again like you’re trying to solve a problem you can’t name.
“Don’t like what, doll?”
“This,” you gesture vaguely. “The quiet. The… not doing anything. I feel like I forgot something. Or like I should be doing something.”
His expression softens, something deep and warm settling into his eyes as he stands and crosses the room toward you.
“You didn’t forget anything,” he says gently. “She’s with your parents. She’s safe. Fed. Probably being spoiled outta her mind right now.”
You huff out a weak laugh, but it doesn’t quite stick. Your fingers twist together. “I know. I just—what if she needs me? What if she cries and I’m not there?”
Bucky stops right in front of you, hands coming up to cradle your face before you can spiral any further. His thumbs brush softly under your eyes, grounding.
“Hey,” he murmurs. “Look at me.”
You do, even though your chest feels tight.
“She’s okay,” he says, steady and certain. “And you’re allowed to be okay, too. You’re allowed to take a night. Doesn’t make you any less of a mom.”
Your throat burns a little. “It feels like it does.”
His expression breaks just slightly at that, something tender and aching flickering across his face.
“C’mere,” he says softly, pulling you into him.
You go easily, pressing your face into his chest, breathing in that familiar scent of him—clean soap, something warm and woodsy, something safe. His arms wrap around you, strong and solid, his chin resting on top of your head.
“You’ve been everything for her,” he murmurs into your hair. “Every second of every day. Feeding her, holding her, getting up in the middle of the night, soothing her when she cries. You don’t get to turn around now and act like you’re slacking for taking one night to breathe.”
You sniff, your grip on his shirt tightening. “I just… don’t know what to do with myself.”
A quiet huff of amusement rumbles through his chest.
“Well,” he says, “lucky for you, I’ve got a plan.”
You pull back just enough to squint up at him. “A plan?”
His mouth curves, soft and a little smug. “Yeah. And step one is you letting me take care of you for once.”
---
The bathroom fills slowly with steam.
You sit perched on the closed toilet lid, wrapped in one of Bucky’s t-shirts, watching as he tests the water with careful precision like it’s some kind of mission. The lights are dimmed, a soft lamp casting a golden glow across the tile, and there’s a candle flickering on the counter that you don’t even remember him lighting.
“You don’t have to do all this,” you mumble.
He glances back at you over his shoulder. “Yeah, I do.”
“You really don’t.”
“I really do,” he counters easily, then softens. “Because you deserve it.”
Your chest tightens again, but this time it’s something warmer.
He straightens once the tub is full, rolling his sleeves up his forearms before turning back to you.
“C’mere.”
You hesitate for half a second, but then you stand and let him guide you closer. His hands are gentle as he helps you out of the oversized shirt, his touch lingering just slightly like he’s reminding you that this body is still yours, still something to be cared for.
“Easy,” he murmurs as you step into the water.
It’s perfect. Warm without being too hot, wrapping around you like a quiet hug. You let out a small sigh as you sink down, your shoulders finally dropping from somewhere up near your ears.
“There you go,” he says softly.
A moment later, he joins you, settling in behind you so your back rests against his chest. His legs bracket yours, his arms slipping around your middle, grounding you there.
For a while, neither of you says anything as he holds you.
His fingers trace lazy patterns over your skin, up and down your arms, across your stomach, over your hips. Not demanding. Not rushed. Just there.
“You did so good,” he murmurs eventually, voice low against your ear.
Your eyes close. “Buck—”
“No,” he interrupts gently. “Let me say it.”
His nose brushes your temple, his lips pressing a soft kiss there.
“You carried her for nine months. You brought her into this world. You’ve been taking care of her every second since.” His hand spreads over your stomach, thumb brushing lightly. “You’re the best mom she could’ve gotten. No question.”
Your breath catches.
“I don’t feel like it,” you admit quietly.
His arms tighten around you just a little.
“Doesn’t matter what it feels like right now,” he says. “I see it. She feels it. Everyone does. You’re it for her.”
Your throat goes tight again, but you don’t fight it this time. You lean back into him fully, letting yourself be held.
“Just let me take care of you tonight,” he murmurs. “That’s all you gotta do. Nothing else.”
You nod faintly, your hand coming up to rest over his where it’s still splayed across your stomach.
“Okay,” you whisper.
His lips brush your shoulder, soft and lingering.
“That’s my girl.”
And for the first time since she was born, you let yourself stop.
Not because you don’t love her.
Not because you don’t miss her.
But because, wrapped up in Bucky’s arms, with the water warm around you and his voice soft in your ear, you remember something you hadn’t realized you were losing.
Dad!Bucky taking his family to the ocean for the first time. But, plot twist, HE'S the one scared his entire family is going to get eaten by sharks even though there's like zero risk of that happening at the specific beach they went to
-🖤
The first thing you notice is how still Bucky is.
Not calm—no, you know him better than that. Still like a coiled spring, like every muscle in his body is locked tight beneath sun-warmed skin and rolled-up sleeves. His sunglasses hide his eyes, but his head keeps moving—left, right, scanning the water, the shoreline, the lifeguard tower, the kids splashing too far out.
You follow his gaze, squinting out at the ocean stretching wide and blue under the summer sky. It’s beautiful. Endless. Gentle waves curling onto the shore in soft, foamy sighs.
“Buck,” you say, laughter already tugging at your voice, “you’re doing the thing again.”
“I’m not doing anything,” he mutters, arms crossed over his chest.
You raise a brow. “You’ve been tracking that one seagull for five minutes.”
“It’s acting suspicious.”
“It’s a bird.”
“Exactly.”
You snort, shaking your head, and lean back into your beach chair. The kids—your kids—are a few yards ahead, right at the edge where the water laps at their ankles. Rowan is squealing every time a wave chases her back, Harlow clutching her hand and laughing, while Bennett stands a little braver, letting the water hit his knees like he’s proving something.
They’re fine. More than fine. The beach is calm, shallow for yards out, dotted with families and umbrellas and bright towels. There’s a lifeguard on duty, a flag flying green.
Zero risk.
Absolutely zero.
Bucky, however, is acting like you dropped your children into shark-infested waters during feeding hour.
“They’re too far out,” he says suddenly, straightening.
“They’re ten feet away.”
“That’s how it starts.”
You blink. “How what starts?”
“Attacks.”
“Attacks.”
He nods grimly, already pushing to his feet. “I’m just gonna—hang on.”
Before you can stop him, he’s striding toward the water like a man on a mission, broad shoulders cutting through the crowd. You watch, biting back a smile, as he approaches the kids.
Rowan sees him first. “Daddy!”
He doesn’t smile—no, he crouches down immediately, eyes scanning the water like he expects a dorsal fin to slice through at any second.
“Okay,” he says, voice firm but gentle, “new rule. Nobody goes past… here.” He draws an invisible line in the wet sand with his foot.
Bennett frowns. “But it’s just water.”
“Yeah, and what lives in water?” Bucky counters.
Harlow gasps, delighted. “Fish!”
“Yes,” he says carefully. “Fish.”
“And dolphins!” Rowan adds.
“And sharks,” Bucky slips in.
You can practically see the shift.
Rowan freezes. Harlow’s grip tightens. Bennett squints suspiciously at the horizon.
You’re out of your chair before you can even think about it, hurrying over as Bucky immediately realizes what he’s done.
“Hey,” you cut in smoothly, crouching beside them. “No sharks here, okay? This beach is super safe. Daddy’s just being… Daddy.”
“I am not—” he starts.
You give him a look.
He exhales, scrubbing a hand down his face. “I’m just saying, statistically—”
“Don’t you dare bring statistics into this.”
Rowan tugs on your hand. “There’s no sharks?”
“None,” you promise, brushing her damp hair back. “Just waves and sand and maybe some little fish.”
Bucky clears his throat. “Very small fish.”
You elbow him lightly.
He sighs again, shoulders dropping a fraction, and crouches lower to their level. His voice softens, all that tension bending into something quieter, steadier. “You guys stay where we can see you, okay? That’s the real rule.”
Bennett nods, serious. “Okay.”
“Okay,” Harlow echoes.
Rowan just grins and splashes her foot in the water again, already distracted.
Crisis averted.
For about thirty seconds.
Because then a wave rolls in a little stronger than the others, rushing up to Bennett’s thighs, and Bucky’s entire body snaps back to attention.
“That one was bigger,” he says.
“It’s an ocean,” you reply. “That’s kind of the point.”
“It pulled him,” Bucky insists.
“It was a wave.”
“It pulled him.”
You grab his wrist before he can surge forward again. “Bucky.”
He looks at you, jaw tight, and for a second you see it—not the ridiculous shark paranoia, not the overprotective dad mode turned up to eleven, but the fear underneath it. The kind that doesn’t make sense to anyone but him. The kind that comes from a lifetime of things going wrong, of people being taken, of not being fast enough.
“They’re okay,” you say softly.
His gaze flicks back to the kids.
Rowan is now trying to stomp on the foam as it recedes. Harlow is giggling beside her. Bennett has discovered a shell and is holding it up like treasure.
Safe.
Happy.
Right there.
“I know,” he murmurs, but he doesn’t sound convinced.
You step closer, slipping your hand into his. His fingers tighten immediately, grounding, familiar.
“You know what you are?” you tease gently.
He glances at you. “What.”
“A landlocked Brooklyn boy who thinks the ocean is personally out to get him.”
A huff of reluctant laughter escapes him. “I don’t think that.”
“You do.”
“I just—” He cuts himself off, shaking his head. “There’s too much out there.”
“There’s also too much out there in space,” you point out. “You gonna start worrying about that next?”
He considers it for half a second too long.
“Bucky.”
“Right,” he says quickly. “Ocean first.”
You laugh, leaning into his side, and for a moment he lets himself relax. His arm drapes around your shoulders, pulling you close, even as his eyes flick back to the kids every few seconds.
Eventually, he sinks down into the sand beside you.
Still watching.
Always watching.
Rowan looks back at one point, catching him staring, and waves wildly.
“Hi, Daddy!”
His whole face softens, fear melting into something warmer, something steadier.
He lifts a hand, waving back. “Hey, sweetheart.”
Then, quieter, more to himself than anyone else, he mutters, “If a shark shows up, I’m fistfighting it.”
You grin, resting your head against his shoulder. “Of course you are.”
“And I’d win.”
“Obviously.”
His arm tightens around you, gaze still locked on the water, on your children, on everything he loves standing right at the edge of something vast and uncontrollable.
Terrified.
Ridiculous.
Completely, utterly devoted.
And even as another wave rolls in, and the kids shriek with laughter instead of fear, Bucky doesn’t move.

Hey! Can’t remember if I sent this to you already but I don’t think I did, so I was thinking what if Bucky and reader are having a kid but after reader gives birth to the first one she feels the urge to push again and it turns out they are actually having twins. Maybe reader and Bucky are both in shock but once reader starts panicking saying she can’t push as she is tired and that they aren’t prepared for two Bucky starts comforting her and at the end they are just in awe of the two new babies! ❤️
The room is quiet in that strange, suspended way that only exists after something monumental has just happened.
Your chest is still heaving, your entire body trembling with the aftermath of it all, limbs heavy and spent as you lie back against the pillows, barely aware of anything except the overwhelming relief that floods you. The sharp, relentless pain is gone now, replaced with something softer, something hazy and warm.
A baby’s cry cuts through the air.
Your baby.
Bucky lets out a sound beside you—something between a laugh and a sob—and suddenly he’s there, right at your side, his hand wrapping around yours like he’s afraid you might slip away if he doesn’t hold on tight enough.
“You did so good,” he murmurs, voice wrecked, thick with emotion as he presses a kiss to your damp forehead. “Doll, you did so good.”
You can’t even find the strength to respond properly, only managing a weak, breathless laugh as tears slip down your temples into your hair. Your eyes drift, trying to focus, trying to see—until they place your little girl on your chest.
Everything stops.
Your breath catches, your heart stuttering in your chest as you look down at the tiny, squirming weight against you. So small. So warm. So unbelievably real.
“Oh my God,” you whisper, voice breaking completely. “Bucky…”
He leans in close, his forehead pressing against yours as he stares down at the baby with wide, disbelieving eyes. You’ve never seen him like this—completely undone, every wall gone, every piece of him laid bare in the softest way.
“She’s—” he chokes, shaking his head like he can’t even get the words out. “She’s perfect.”
You nod, tears falling freely now as you gently cradle her, your fingers trembling as they brush over her tiny back. “She is,” you whisper. “She really is.”
For a moment, it’s just the three of you. Quiet. Complete. Whole.
A sharp pressure builds low in your abdomen.
Your brows knit together, confusion cutting through the haze. It’s not the same as before—not exactly—but it’s there, unmistakable, tightening and uncomfortable and—
You gasp.
Bucky’s head snaps up instantly. “What? What is it? Are you okay?”
“I—” you swallow hard, panic flickering in your chest as the pressure intensifies. “I feel like… like I have to push again.”
The room shifts.
Everything speeds up at once—nurses moving quickly, voices overlapping, the calm atmosphere dissolving into something urgent and tense.
“That’s not uncommon—”
“Wait, no—”
“Doctor—”
There’s a pause.
A beat of stunned silence before someone in the room utters the unthinkable.
“There’s another baby.”
The words don’t make sense.
You blink up at the ceiling, your brain struggling to catch up, to process what you just heard. “Another… what?”
Bucky lets out a short, disbelieving laugh, shaking his head immediately. “No, that’s—no, that’s not right. We—we only saw one, every scan—”
But the medical team is already moving, voices firm now, controlled but urgent.
“Second baby is in distress.”
“We need to move now.”
Everything tilts.
Your heart starts racing, panic clawing its way up your throat as the reality crashes over you all at once.
Two.
There are two.
“I can’t,” you choke out, tears spilling fast now as your body tenses with fear. “I can’t do that again, I can’t—I’m so tired, Buck, I can’t push again, I don’t have anything left—”
He’s there immediately.
Both hands come up to cradle your face, grounding you, forcing your gaze to meet his. His own eyes are wide, shock still lingering there, but beneath it is something stronger—steady, unwavering, completely locked onto you.
“Hey,” he says softly, firmly. “Hey, look at me. You’re okay. You hear me? You’re okay.”
“I can’t do it,” you whisper, shaking your head, your voice breaking. “We weren’t—we’re not ready for two, Bucky—”
His thumb brushes your cheek, wiping away your tears with a gentleness that makes your chest ache.
“Then we’ll figure it out,” he says without hesitation. “We always do. You and me? We figure everything out.”
You let out a shaky sob, clutching weakly at his wrist as the room moves around you, as they start preparing for surgery.
“I’m scared,” you admit, voice small.
“I know,” he whispers, pressing his forehead to yours again. “I know, baby. But you’re not doing this alone. I’m right here. I’ve got you.”
Your grip tightens on him as they begin to wheel you away, your heart pounding wildly in your chest.
“Take care of her,” you plead, your voice cracking as your eyes flick toward your newborn.
His expression softens instantly, something fierce and protective settling into his features.
“I’ve got her,” he promises. “And I’ve got you. Both of you.”
---
Time feels strange after that.
Blurry. Disconnected.
But when you wake up, the first thing you hear is crying.
Two cries.
Your eyes flutter open slowly, your body aching in a completely different way now, heavy and sore and exhausted beyond words. For a moment, you don’t remember where you are, but then it hits you.
Two.
Your head turns weakly, searching for the fourth puzzle piece.
Bucky sits beside your bed, shoulders hunched slightly, one baby tucked carefully in each arm. He looks just as overwhelmed as you feel, eyes rimmed red, hair a mess—but he’s smiling.
Actually smiling.
“You’re awake,” he breathes, relief flooding his voice as he quickly leans forward.
Your eyes immediately drop to the babies.
Two.
Two tiny, perfect babies.
Tears fill your eyes again as your hand lifts shakily, brushing against one soft cheek, then the other.
“Oh my God,” you whisper.
Bucky lets out a quiet laugh, shaking his head like he still can’t believe it either.
“Yeah,” he murmurs. “That’s about where I’m at too.”
You look up at him, your heart swelling painfully in your chest.
“We have two,” you say, voice trembling.
His gaze softens as he looks down at them, then back at you.
“We have two,” he repeats.
And somehow, despite the chaos, the shock, the fear that still lingers at the edges, t feels right.
Overwhelming.
Terrifying.
Perfect.
You reach for one of the babies, and Bucky carefully helps guide them into your arms, his hand lingering over yours for just a second longer than necessary.
“We’re gonna be okay,” he says quietly.
You look down at your children, then back at him, something warm and steady settling deep in your chest.
“Yeah,” you whisper. “We are.”
And for the first time since everything turned upside down—
Bucky and reader making a birthday cake first their daughter’s 1st birthday the night before and they get emotional cause she’s turning 1 already🥺🩵
SHANNON DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY BC I AM!!!
-------
The kitchen smells like vanilla and butter and something sweet that feels almost sacred, and it’s nearly midnight when you realize the only reason the two of you are still awake is because neither of you are ready for tomorrow.
Bucky stands at the counter in an old gray Henley with the sleeves pushed up, metal fingers carefully gripping a whisk like it’s fragile glass instead of stainless steel. There’s flour on his cheekbone and a dusting of sugar on his shirt, and he looks absurdly serious about something that is, objectively, pink frosting in a bowl.
You lean against the island, watching him squint at the recipe card like it’s a classified mission.
“Doll,” he mutters, brows furrowed. “It says fold. How do you fold frosting?”
You laugh softly. “You don’t. You just mix it.”
He looks offended on the cake’s behalf. “Then why would it say fold?”
“Because baking likes to sound fancy.”
He huffs but hands you the bowl anyway, stepping closer so your hips brush. His warmth settles at your back, chin resting briefly on your shoulder as you smooth the frosting over the small, round cake sitting on the cooling rack.
It’s simple. Vanilla sponge. Strawberry filling. Pale blue buttercream because she’s obsessed with anything bright and cheerful and you both pretend like she picked the color herself even though she’s one and still thinks the dog is a mythical creature sent specifically for her entertainment.
“Can you believe she’s gonna be one?” you whisper.
The words hang there.
Bucky goes quiet behind you.
You feel it immediately—the shift in him. The way his chest expands against your back, slow and heavy.
“No,” he says honestly. “I can’t.”
You set the spatula down and turn in his arms. His eyes are softer than usual, that familiar blue gone glassy at the edges.
“It feels like yesterday you were screaming at me in the delivery room,” he adds gently.
“I was not screaming at you.”
“You told me this was my fault.”
“It was your fault.”
He laughs, but it’s watery, and you see the way his throat works when he swallows.
There’s a smear of frosting on his jaw, and you wipe it away with your thumb, pressing a kiss to the spot afterward without thinking. He exhales like that simple touch steadies something in him.
“I remember holding her,” he says quietly. “She was so small. I thought I was gonna break her.”
“You cried.”
He gives you a look.
“You sobbed.”
“Okay,” he grumbles, but there’s no heat in it. “She was five pounds, honey. Five. I’ve held knives heavier than that.”
“And you’ve never looked more terrified in your life.”
He nods slowly.
“Yeah,” he admits. “I was.”
You know why.
You both do.
For a man who’s survived wars and HYDRA and decades of nightmares, it wasn’t the fragility that scared him. It was the love. The instant, overwhelming, earth-shifting love that made him realize he had something he couldn’t survive losing.
Now that tiny baby is upstairs in her crib, sprawled starfish-style with one sock missing, clutching her stuffed bunny like she’s guarding treasure.
“She’s walking,” you say softly. “Did you see her this morning? She took like four steps without wobbling.”
“I saw,” he murmurs. “Nearly had a heart attack.”
You smile. “You hovered behind her like Secret Service.”
“Can you blame me? She walks like she’s late for a meeting.”
“She’s got your determination.”
He snorts. “Poor kid.”
You glance at the cake again, smoothing one last imperfect edge of frosting, even though she’s going to destroy it tomorrow with her bare hands.
“She won’t remember this,” you say quietly.
He frowns. “Remember what?”
“Tomorrow. The balloons. The cake. All of it. She won’t remember turning one.”
He’s silent for a moment, considering that.
“Maybe not,” he says finally. “But we will.”
Your chest tightens.
He steps closer, hands sliding to your waist, grounding you. “She won’t remember the decorations,” he continues gently. “But she’ll grow up with pictures. With stories. With us telling her how she got frosting in her hair and tried to feed the dog cake.”
“She will try to feed the dog cake.”
“Absolutely.”
You laugh wetly, blinking back tears.
“I just…” you start, voice wobbling. “I don’t know where the year went. One minute she was this sleepy little thing who only wanted to be on my chest, and now she’s—she’s got opinions, Buck. She gets mad when I give her the wrong cup.”
He smiles at that, thumb brushing under your eye.
“She’s becoming her own person.”
“I know.”
“And that’s good,” he says softly. “That’s what we want.”
You nod, but it doesn’t stop the ache.
He presses his forehead to yours. “You know what I keep thinking about?”
“What?”
“The first night we brought her home.” His voice drops lower. “She wouldn’t sleep unless I was holding her. I sat in that rocking chair until three in the morning because every time I tried to put her down, she’d scrunch her little face up like the world was ending.”
“She loves you,” you whisper.
He exhales shakily. “I don’t think I ever felt… chosen before. Not like that.”
Your heart splinters open at the edges.
“She chose you,” you say firmly. “From the second she wrapped her fingers around yours.”
He nods, eyes shining. “And now she’s one,” he says, almost to himself. “A whole year of her laugh. Of her grabbing my nose. Of her falling asleep on my chest.”
You smile softly. “Of her saying ‘dada’ before ‘mama.’”
He grins sheepishly. “I practiced with her.”
“I know you did.”
You both dissolve into quiet laughter that melts into something heavier.
He looks at the cake, then back at you.
“Do you think we did okay?” he asks, so quiet you almost miss it.
The vulnerability in that question steals your breath.
“Buck,” you murmur, cupping his face. “She is loved. She is safe. She is happy. That means we did more than okay.”
He nods, but his eyes close like he’s letting that sink in.
Upstairs, there’s a soft thud through the baby monitor followed by a sleepy little babble.
Both of you freeze.
He glances toward the stairs like he’s being summoned.
“That’s our cue,” he whispers.
You grab his hand before he can move, pulling him back for one more second. “Happy almost-birthday to us,” you say softly.
He smiles. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. We survived year one.”
He leans down and kisses you slow and sweet, tasting faintly of vanilla and salt.
When you finally climb the stairs together, the kitchen lights still glowing behind you and the tiny blue cake waiting on the counter, you don’t feel sad anymore.

event masterlist | day nine | day eleven | main masterlist
"Daddy! Daaaaddy!"
"What's wrong, sweetheart?"
There's an elated toddler giggle that echoes from the bedroom down the hall, "Come look, come see!"
Bucky dog-ears the page he was reading in his book and sets it on the nightstand, off to see what kind of trouble your little one is causing.
Winnie Barnes.
A perfect mix of the two of you, though she's a spitting image of Bucky— striking blue eyes and dark hair with his sarcasm and that signature Barnes charm.
"What've you done?" He says as he saunters down the hall.
And when he gets there, he's met with glittery chaos.
"Look, daddy, look!" She squeals, jumping up and down in excitement.
Glitter. Everywhere.
On the floor, all over her skin, her clothes, in her hair— there's even a stubborn orange fleck of glitter stuck to one of her eyelashes.
And in her hands is a picture— glue and glitter smeared on the page with doodles in green and different shades of pink and purple.
She's so proud it makes his heart ache.
"It's for Mama!" Winnie announces, "When she gets back for her trip! You said she was coming back today, I wanted to make her a picture— it's flowers that you get her every week, but sparkly."
Bucky smiles, despite the mess he'll inevitably be cleaning up for the rest of their lives because glitter has no mercy, and crouches beside her.
"It's so pretty, Mama's gonna love it."
Winnie grins excitedly, "You think?"
"I know it," Bucky whispers, kissing her forehead, unable to stop the fond laugh that leaves him, taking in the chaos, "How about we leave it here? I think someone needs a bath."
"But I had one yesterday!" She whines, "I'm not dirty!"
