Remember me // Bucky Barnes

Chapter 40

It's been 4 months since the wedding and things have been great, aside from the fact that I managed to get a stomach bug and haven't lifted off the bathroom floor all week "do you need anything else?" Bucky asks knocking on the door "no, go away" I call back seconds before throwing up again "you are my wife you think I am a disgusted about a little bit of- oh ew" Bucky says turning around once he sees be throwing up "you are unbelievable" I groan while rolling my eyes "I'm just joking, come here" Bucky says while holding my hair back before stroking my back lightly, goose bumps erupt down my body as I shiver at his touch "Steve went out to get you some medicine" Bucky says "I am over 100 years old, I haven't got sick since 1930" I groan while resting my head against my hand

"You will be fine, here drink this" Bucky says giving me a cup of water which I didn't realise he had in the first place, I take it from him and drink the water slowly trying to push aside the continued nausea "well this is what four months of marriage gives you" I joke with a weak smile "yeah well I wouldn't change it for anything else" Bucky replies "you're too sweet to me James" I say the weak smile still plastered on my face "well I went to the pharmacy" I hear Steve say while joining us in the bathroom "We are just going to watch me puke? Where's the damn medicine?" I ask "when did you hear a freaking infinity stone getting sick? I was sure I would be freaking immortal at this point" I keep complaining "well, they didn't give me a medicine" Steve says and I raise an eyebrow

"They said with all your symptoms and the fact that you've gained a some sort of um weird weight that well" Steve begins to say "spill it out Steve" I say annoyed "they say you're most likely pregnant so" Steve says and hands me a pregnancy test "Steve" I say sadly "I can't have children I'm sterilised" I say "but Bruce did say it could happen" Bucky says "James" I say "just take the test" Steve says "I know what the outcome will be, but I'll do it to shut the both of you up so don't get your hopes up" I say while forcing myself off the floor and grabbing the test from Steve "you want me to do it in front of you?" I ask "right right" Steve says and they head out. I roll my eyes and do the test setting it on the sink once I'm done

I flush and close the toilet before sitting on the seat just waiting for the test to be done so I can see the negative result coming up. I don't even know why they're making me take this, I'm not pregnant. I can't be and I can never be "Are you going to check or?" I hear Bucky say from outside, I sigh and grab the test

My head spins

My hands shake

My heart drops

"Hello?" Steve asks banging on the door "Gen?" Buck asks, I open the door slowly still staring at the test

'Positive'

This can't be happening, how is it happening "Gen?" Bucky asks, I look up tears in my eyes "I-I don't know how" I croak out showing him the test, Bucky's eyes widen as he pulls me into a hug spinning me around "you're pregnant?" Steve asks "I need to get Bruce to check this out" I say as Bucky sets me down, I run out finding Bruce in the lab as he always is. I close the door quickly and he looks at me confused "I need you, can you. I need another ultrasound" I say "what?" Bruce asks setting the test tube he was holding down "apparently I'm showing all the symptoms and the test" I say showing it to him "that's, interesting" Bruce says "do you want to take a seat?" Bruce says tapping the exam chair we have set up in the lab before getting out the ultrasound. I lay down lifting up my top

I close my eyes trying not to keep my hopes too high "I don't know how" Bruce begins to say, I open my eyes and my eyes widen "so" I say beginning to cry "it's true, you're about four months along with a little girl" Bruce says "four months? a girl?" I ask, my heart drops "yeah" he says "So since the wedding?" I ask "Seem that way, yeah" Bruce says as surprised as I am "C-can you um print that out?" I ask, my head is spinning. I am happy but I'm also terrified of having another child "Yeah" Bruce says "Are you feeling okay? You have gone pale" Bruce asks confused "I just, I didn't think this was possible" I say "It's rare but, with people like us. Nothing is impossible" Bruce says "Right" I say with a small chuckle "Should I um tell everyone?" I ask still completely overwhelmed 

"I think so" Bruce says and I nod "Could you gather everyone in the living room?" I ask and he nods, I love Bruce and how careful and patient he has always been with everyone around them which you wouldn't expect from someone who would turn into a green mindless giant every time he got slightly mad or stressed out about something. But look at him now, living as The Hulk with Bruce's mind. I shake the thoughts I have used to distract me from this overwhelming feeling of not only being pregnant but it also being another girl. "Are you okay?" Thor asks, I glance up at him noticing I'm already in the living room and so is everyone

All eyes are on me which usually would have made me so happy, I love being the centre of attention. But today, having everyone's eyes on me made me slightly uncomfortable "Well, I um. I didn't think this was possible and I seriously was not expecting THIS to happen either but um" I say nervously and turn the ultrasound picture towards them "James and I are having a little girl" I say tears escaping my eyes for what feels like the 10th time today, all eyes widen and all jaws drop "It's a girl?" Bucky asks approaching me and hugging me tight "I knew it" Bucky whisper "We're having a baby" I say smiling "We're having a baby" Bucky repeats my words and I feel that happy feeling returning to me as excitement follows shortly after
