✔️The Summer Soldier ||Bucky Barnes||

34

Nat took a deep breath before asking Harley the dreaded question. "Nat why are you looking at me like that..?" Harley asked the red headed girl.

"I think I might know what's going on.." Natasha said, putting her hand into Harley's shoulder.

Harley furrowed her eye brows and looked at Nat, confused as to what she meant. "What are you-" she began to say, realizing what Nat was thinking. "H-holy shit.. holy fucking shit.."

Natasha gave Harley an encouraging look and rubbed her back. "It's possible. When was the last time that you and Bucky.. you know.."

"The night of the party. Day before hydra got to me."

Harley sat back against the wall beside Natasha and stared at the toilet in shock. "What if I'm pregnant nat.. Bucky's going to hate me, I won't be able to help you guys fight, I don't even have the money for this!"

"Harley relax. I'll drag Wanda with me to the store and we'll pick up a test. You can either tell Bucky now or wait for the results, whatever you want. I'll keep quiet." Nat said, standing up and looking down at Harley. "Take a shower or something to relax yourself."

Harley nodded and watched Natasha leave, then turned on the shower.

"Har you ok?" Bucky asked, knocking on the door.

Harley cracked the door open and peeked her head out. Her eyes were puffed up from the crying she just started. "I'm alright. Just gonna take a shower."

Bucky nodded and gave her a quick kiss. "You sure? Nat seemed like she was in a hurry to go somewhere."

Harley nodded and kissed Bucky's cheek. "I'll talk to you after I shower and tell you everything. I promise." She said watching Bucky nod as she shut the door.

Standing under the hot water, Harley began to think about how the events of the next hour could go. Yes, she has always wanted a family of her own, but she was scared of what Bucky would think about it. She knew that if the test was a positive one, her whole life would change.

"Har we got your chips!" Nat said as she knocked on the bathroom door. Harley knew that nat was only saying that to cover up what she actually bought, playing it safe.

Throwing on some clothes quickly, Harley opened the door and let the two girls in. "Nobody finds out about this till after I take it.." she whispered, her voice laced with fear.

Wanda smiled at Harley and nudged her arm. "Don't stress it Harley, we are here for you no matter what."

Harley nodded and the two girls left the bathroom. "We'll be outside the door waiting." Nat said, shutting the door behind them.

Staring at the pregnancy test, Harley felt her body tremble a little bit. A million questions paced through her mind and kept her from taking it.

Just do it, she had to tell herself.

So, she did..

"Hey do you guys know what's up with Harley?" Bucky asked as he stopped nat and Wanda in the hall near Harley's room.

The two girls shook their heads no. "Nope. No idea at all. Did you ask her?" Wanda asked, nervously laughing.

Natasha looked at Wanda quickly, trying to stop her from exposing anything. "You sure?" Bucky asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at the two once again.

"Positive!"

"Then what's in the bag?" Bucky asked, looking at the bag nat his behind her back.

The girls looked at each other, then to Bucky. Stuttering, nat said "I-I um.. girl stuff."

"Ok I'm out." Bucky said, raising his hands and walking off.

Bucky went back to the living room where Steve and vision were sitting, the red robot was definitely something that required some getting used to.

"You find out what's wrong with har?" Steve asked, pausing his conversation with vision.

Bucky shook his head. "Nope. Wanda and nat are acting weird too so somethings definitely going on that they're hiding."

"Actually, Wanda and nat were at the pharmacy just before to get something for Harley." Vision said, "Nat took Tony's car and it has a tracker."

Steve and Bucky looked at each other confused. What would Harley need from the pharmacy?

"I'll be right back." Bucky said, standing up and leaving, totally confused on what was going on.

Harley stared at the test that sat on the bathroom sink. The results were on it but she did t have the courage to flip it over and look yet. "Guys I can't.. I can't look at them yet." She said through the bathroom door.

"It's ok Harley, we are right here." Wanda said.

Harley could hear her bedroom door open, then the sound of footsteps approaching. "Bucky! What are you doing here?" Nat said with a small laugh.

"You guys have ten seconds to explain." He said, tired of the lies he was being told.

Harley sighed and slowly opened the bathroom door. "It's ok.." she said, the two girls nodding and walking away so the couple had their privacy.

Bucky stepped into the bathroom and Harley watched as his face softened when he saw the test. "Har.." he said, looking at the test, then to her.

"I-I'm sorry buck. I seriously am.." she said, looking into his blue eyes and seeing their calming softness.

Bucky kept looking between her and the test. "What'd it say..?" He asked, which only made Harley more nervous.

She slip the test towards him and shook her head. "I didn't look yet. I was too scared it would say yes and you'd hate me."

Bucky frowned and pulled her in for a hug, kissing the top of her head. "You know I could never hate you. As much as I would try to, I just wouldn't be able to." He said, lifting the test and holding it in front of the two of them. "You ready?" He asked.

Harley nodded and watched Bucky flip it over revealing the results..

A smile formed onto Bucky's face as he saw the plus sign, meaning positive, in the small circle. Harley however, leaned into Bucky's arms and began to cry.

"It's ok doll. It's ok." Bucky said, wrapping both arms around her and hugging her. "We'll figure this out together."

Harley nodded and the two stood there holding each other in each others arms. "Now what..?"
