The White Wolf's New Life

The White Wolf's Birthday pt. 1

March 9th

Steve didn't consider himself an overachiever. Tony was the overachiever in the group but when it came to Bucky, things had to be big but not big enough to overload his senses. Bucky's third birthday was good, but his fourth birthday had to be better. The only thing Steve was worried about is if Tony overdid something that would cause Bucky to have a sensory overload. But he was hoping Sam and Natasha were doing their part in keeping Tony in check.

"Mine!" Steve heard Bucky yell. He quickly left his room and went in Bucky's room. Chase had Lamby and Bucky was not happy. To Chase, it looked like a game. To Bucky, he was hurting his cherished animal.

"Bucky, stop pulling."

"Mine!"

"I know but you are making this is a game to him. Say out."

"Out." Chase let go of Lamby. Bucky took his beloved Lamby and sat on the bed.

"Can I see if she is okay?" Steve asked. Bucky whined then gave him Lamby. Lamby looked unharmed besides a little slobber. "She's alright, listen when Chase takes something that you don't want him to play with just say out."

"Meanie."

"He's not a meanie, he just wanted to play." Steve rubbed his back. Chase and Bucky had a complicated relationship when it came to the stuffed animals. Chase loved to grab his animals, that aggravated Bucky. He never had a tantrum, it just made him mad. "Hey, you're birthday is tomorrow."

"Yeah."

"So you get to have a Bucky day before your birthday. What do you want to do?" Bucky shrugged. "I think you can be spoiled today. Today we're just going to do what Bucky wants. What does Bucky want to do, does he want to go shopping or does he want to stay home?"

"Bucky swim."

"Friday, what's the temperature in the pool?"

"Seventy-two."

"Turn the heater on for at least an hour, by then it should be up by three degrees so you're comfortable. Can you wait?" Bucky nodded. "Do you mind if Uncle Sam and mommy come over and spend the day with us?"

"Yeah." Bucky smiled.

"Okay, let's go fix a snack and by the time you finish the pool should be heated. What do you want to eat?"

"Candy."

"You know the rule. How about Oreos?"

"Yeah. Yeah." Bucky got up and went downstairs. Steve smiled and followed him downstairs. Steve got Bucky his Oreos and they sat in the living room watching a movie.

"Can I have a cookie?" Steve asked.

"No." Bucky said quickly. Steve smiled knowing that was his answer but he was surprised to see Bucky break one in half and give it to him.

"Thank you." After Bucky finished his snack, Steve got him in his swim clothes. Once Bucky was dressed, he immediately went outside. Steve took the cover off of the pool and made sure nothing made it's way in there. Once he was sure, Bucky sat on the pool steps.

Steve could have sworn Bucky had the biggest smile on his face. He was even doing his happy hand flapping. Then he heard a whine. "You can get in Harley." Harley got in the pool. Chase, on the other hand, was not a water dog. He looked like he wanted to go in because Harley was in there but he didn't want to. "I'm going to get some burgers and hot dogs so we can grill out here. Do you want something, Buck?"

"Juice."

"Okay." Steve turned on the gas grill then went inside. He got the hamburger patties, hot dogs and Bucky's juice. He went back outside, Bucky and Harley was still enjoying themself in the pool. Chase found a stick to busy himself with. Steve gave Bucky his juice then started on the food.
