“No, he’s not a random guy. He was my boyfriend of barely a month though,” I sighed.

“Why the hell have you been lying then. At least it wasn’t a one-night stand?” Lyla asked as we walked up to the register.

“Because my baby daddy isn’t just some normal guy,” I was trying to not talk about Bucky in the middle of store. “We’ll talk about this in the car.”

“Alright,” Lyla said as we took my groceries out of the cart.

The second the finished loading the bag into the car Lyla went back to asking questions.

“So, who is your baby daddy?” she asked getting into the passenger seat.

Starting my car, I looked over at Lyla wondering how well she was going to take this, “Bucky Barnes,” I said slowly.

“As in the Winter Soldier guy?” she asked shocked.

Slowly I nodded my head, I had to now explain that my boyfriend wasn’t a murdering assassin, “he’s a really great guy. Things between us started weird but he’s caring and wants to be in the baby’s life and he want to know the family.”

“Alright I’ll let mom and Henry know.”

“Lyla I really need you in my corner right now. I know mom isn’t going to like Bucky but I need you to back me with him,” I pleaded.

“Alright I’ll defend him,” she smiled.

Walking into my apartment that I shared with Bucky I was greeted to the sound the laughter in the apartment. I couldn’t help but be a little caught off guard by the laughter, Bucky tended to be a quieter person and rarely laughed these days.

Walking into the living room holding a few bags from the store the moment I made eye contact with Bucky he quickly jumped up to help me caring some of the bags.

“I wasn’t sure what time you guys would be getting here,” I said giving Bucky a smile.

“We finished training early, so Steve and I headed over,” he said to me as Steve was walking towards us.

Walking into the kitchen to set the bags down. I turned around to find Steve standing in the kitchen behind us. “Hi Steve,” I said awkwardly looking down at my very round stomach.

“Hi Zoey,” he said kindly.

“I take it Bucky explained all of this,” I said awkwardly as I rubbed my stomach.

With a smile he nodded, “yeah he filled me in on the situation.”

I could help but feel extremely awkward all the sudden. The last time I had saw Steve was when Bucky and I had just started causally dating. The last time I had seen him I was actually pregnant but neither Bucky or I had actually known yet. We had gone out to dinner with Steve and Sam and had a great time, but a week later I discovered I was pregnant and everything had changed. I couldn’t help but wonder what Bucky had told him when I all the sudden stopped coming around. I wondered if he told Steve and Sam that maybe we had broken out.

“So, what do you think we should do?” I asked leaning against the kitchen counter.

He had a confused look on his face almost as if he was unsure of what to say. “Well I get why Bucky is scared, even though most of hydra is gone, we know there are some people still in hiding, and Hydra most likely still considers Bucky their asset.”

Steve was confirming the fears that Bucky seemed to have, and it stung quite a bit. “What do we do?” I asked because I wasn’t sure what all of this meant.

“Well we’re never going to let anything happen to you. Us and the rest of the Avengers will protect you at all cost. I think we could go the Clint route and you guys could have your house and family, but we’ll keep that off the records so you can’t be linked if they try to get to Bucky.”

Hearing everything Steve was saying confirmed that we wouldn’t have a completely normal life, but I think I’m okay with that because I was still going to be able to have Bucky, and we will be able to raise our child together.

“I think it’s best if we have you see Dr. Banner and we’ll get you a doctor at the compound that could help with you delivering the baby,” Steve said.

Looking over at Bucky I saw him staring at us intently as if he was trying to read my reaction to everything Steve was saying to me.

“Alright. I understand like nothing about our relationship is normal.”

“Zoey are you sure?” Bucky asked finally speaking up.

I nodded my head, “yeah I just want us to be together and our baby safe.”

“Okay,” he said walking over and pressing his lips to mine for a light kiss.

“I’m gonna make dinner now.”

“One more thing Zoey,” Bucky said standing in front of me. I was all the sudden worried about what he was going to say.

“I have to leave tomorrow for a mission that’s only three days. It’s going to be my last one until the baby is born,” he said sounding almost unsure of what my response was going to be.

I sure as hell didn’t want him leave, especially with me now being further along in my pregnancy, but I knew he needed to do this. I also knew Steve would lay down his own life before he let something happen to Bucky.

I nodded my head and looked over at Steve, “Steve do me a favor and make sure he comes back to me the same way he’s leaving.”

My statement caused Steve to give me a big smile, “I won’t let anything happen to this old man,” he patted Bucky on the back with a little laugh.

“Okay I’m gonna make dinner now,” I said attempting to shoo the boys out of the kitchen.

They headed off towards the living room and worked on making dinner for us. As I cooked I couldn’t help but listen as they talked about their time back because they both became super soldiers. They were laughing as the talked about Steve’s attempts to get with some girl at the dance hall. I couldn’t be smile myself. I was so nice to hear Bucky laughing and have a good time. He had loosened up so much recently, but when he was around Steve I think felt safest. I think that might be because Steve saw him still as the guy who was best friend who had been there for him since the beginning and was there with him until had he would say ‘to the end of the line’. I was happy Bucky had someone like Steve in his life.

The night went really well we ate dinner and the boys told me stories from back in the forties. I got to hear all about Bucky’s attempt to get with a red head he had the hots on. I couldn’t help but smile and laugh at his poor attempts to get the girl he wanted. I assumed he might not have been as charming as he was when he started coming into my book store. I think the moment I met him I knew deep down inside that I was bound to fall for him, even if he didn’t ask me out.

+The night seemed to fly by and soon Bucky walked Steve out I headed off to bed, I was exhausted and couldn’t wait to get some sleep. I walked into the bathroom to wash my face, and then headed off into the bedroom to get dressed for bed. I stood in my bedroom in nothing but my bra and underwear searching for my pajamas in my dresser. I heard someone clear their throat behind me and I turned around to see Bucky standing behind me smiling.

“You’re so pretty,” he said walking towards me.

“I feel like a whale right now,” I said with a laugh resting my hand on my very round stomach.

“You look so beautiful caring my child,” he reached over and rested his hand on my stomach. “What am I gonna do while you’re gone for three days on a mission?” I asked realizing it had been a long time since he had actually left her.

“I’m going to talk to you every day,” he smiled.

“You’re actually going to call me?” I asked thinking back to the last time he left when he gave me the cold shoulder.

“Yes, I’m going to call you every day.”

“Okay,” I nodded.

“When I get home, we’ll go straight to your family dinner.”

“Okay,” I leaned over and gave him a light kiss.

“Are you ready for bed?” he asked.

“Yeah I was trying to find my pajamas.”

“We could always sleep naked,” he said with a smirk.

I was caught off guard by his statement, I wasn’t sure if he was being serious. We had been taking things slowly recently.

“Are you being serious?” I asked tilting my head.

“Yeah why not,” he said stepping away from me. He pulled his shirt off leaving him shirtless, I bit my bottom lip as I watched him work on stripping off his jeans. He stood there only in his boxer-briefs. My eyes roamed his tone body. Stepping towards me he reached his metal hand behind me and unhooked my bra. It slowly fell to the ground as I stood bare chested in front of him. Dropping to his knees in front of me and slid my bright pink panties. Standing up he reached and pulled his own boxer-briefs off. We stood there naked just staring at each other. Things between us had seemed to pick up in pace recently and I honestly really liked it. We seemed to act like an actual couple now. Even though we had never talked about it I considered him to be my boyfriend, I wasn’t one-hundred percent sure what he considered me to be.

“Let get into bed,” he said looking over at our bed we shared.

I silently walked over to my side of the bed and crawled under the covers. Laying on my back I watched as Bucky crawled into bed next to me.

“Lay on your side,” he said as he leaned over and connected his lips to mine. Our lips moved against each other for a short moment before he pulled away. I took this as my cue to roll over so my back was facing him. He reached over and moved my body so it was pressed up against his tone body.

Slowly he stared peppering light kisses a crossed my shoulder. I closed my eyes enjoying our closeness.

“Thank you for being so patient with me,” he murmured against my skin.

“Thank you for giving us a chance,” I said as he moved my hair off my neck and started kissing down my spine. I closed my eyes enjoying the feeling of his lips moving across my freckled skin. His strong hand rested on my hip, and lightly held on to me as his lips moved down my spine. I wasn’t sure what he planned on doing, but I was going to take what ever he was willing to give. My lip was caught between my teeth holding back a moan. My hormones we’re all over the place and just him kissing my spine could probably get me off. His hand started creeping forward down towards my sensitive mound. He removed his lips from my skin as his fingers dipped into my core. I gasped a little at the feeling and leaned my head back against him.

He was completely silent as his finger dipped inside me. I couldn’t help but press my body against him. I couldn’t help but moan. I could hear was his heavy breathing as his lips rested against the back of my neck.

“Bucky,” I moaned.

“Baby what do you want?” he rasped with his lips resting against my skin.

“I just want all of you,” I sighed.

His fingers dipped into me over and over again until he pushed me over the edge. I couldn’t help but moan his name repeatedly.

“We fully have sex it can’t be like the old time,” he said pulling away from me as I rode out my high. I’m pretty sure he meant that we couldn’t get a little rough like he would sometimes before we created a life.

“Bucky I’m not asking for it to be like old times, I just want to be with you again,” I said giving him a smile as I rolled onto my back.

“Okay, roll back over,” he said.

I nodded and rolled back onto my side. His lips lightly pressed to my shoulder for a light kiss. “Let me know if I get to rough.” He said as he slowly slid inside of me. I couldn’t help but gasp at the size of him. We hadn’t sex in six months and forgot how amazing he felt inside of me. His hand rest on my hip again as he thrust into me over and over again. My head rolled back and rested against his body and he moved against me.

“I forgot how good you are this,” I said causing him to let out a little laugh.

A loud moan passed lips as his hips rolled against mine. “I’m close,” I whined.

“Go a head and come,” he rasped.

Two more thrust was all it took before I was coming once again. He moaned my name against my skin as my walls pulled against his erection. He thrust a couple more times before himself hit his high. He spilled inside of me holding onto my hip tightly. I laid completely still panting as he sat still inside me. I couldn’t help but let out a little laugh at the fact that we had finally had sex again.

“I missed doing that,” I said with a huge smile.

“I missed it too, I didn’t hurt you did i?’ he asked sounding worried as he removed himself from me.

“You didn’t hurt me at all,” I rolled onto my back and looked over at you.

The way he was looking at made my heart flutter. He looked like he had never been happier in his life, his eyes seemed to be lit up. Just looking at him made me smile.

I knew I should probably keep it to myself but for some reason I said, “I love you.” My heart raced as the words left my mouth because I wasn’t sure if he felt the same way.

His face was still lit up even after I had just confessed my love to him, “I love you too.”

My eyes went wide at him admitting he returned the same feeling for me. “You do?” I asked shocked that he returned my feelings.

He nodded with a smile.

“Thank you for tonight,” I leaned over and pressed my lips to his lightly.

“I can’t thank you enough for being patient with me.”

“Bucky I would anything for you,” he smiled and nodded his head at me at my statement.

“Roll back over and we’ll get some sleep.” I didn’t say anything I just rolled back onto my side. He quickly put his arm over my very round stomach and cuddled into my back. Closing my eyes I couldn’t help but smile at how far we had come.
