Bucky Barnes: The love of my life

"Like Allie from the Notebook"

A week later: you and Bucky are on a walk.

"Buck look!" He looks in the direction you're pointing. "There's a kitty!"

You see a black kitten all by itself trying to his under a bush and you let go of his hand to go pick it up. He follows you over to it. "Aww, it's cute." You bend down to pick it up and he stops you. "Don't pick it up baby, you don't know where it's been."

You pick it up anyway. "It's fine babe. Look it's a baby baby, it still has its umbilical cord. Can I keep him. Him? Her?" You lift it up and look underneath.
"Her. Can I keep her?"

"I don't know baby..." he says. You make a pouty face and adjust your hold on the kitten so you're cradling it like a baby.

"Please?" You whine. He slightly smiles and combed closer putting his hand on the small of your back and gives you a kiss. "Sometimes I wish you weren't so damn cute. Okay you can keep it. But we have to take it to the vet and make sure it gets it's shots and everything or whatever, I don't want you to get a disease from this thing."

"Bucky! Be nice! This is yours too. It's our little baby..." with that he pets the kitten with his metal hand and the kitten purrs.

"I have to admit she is cute." He chuckles.

After taking the kitten to the vet you officially adopted it and everything checked out. It's a week old and it's in good shape for being so tiny. You have to bottle feed it every two hours.

"Babe can you get me the bottle?" Bucky says sitting in the bed holding the kitten. He's warmed up to it quite fast. You walk over to the bed and hand him the bottle. You can't stop smiling.

"You're gonna be a great daddy when the time comes." You say. He smiles and you sit next to him as he feeds the kitten. "What're we gonna name her?"

"I have no idea, we already talked about this, when we have a kid youre naming it. Just take one off of your list."

You go into your list of baby names on your phone and find one suitable for your kitten. "Allie."

"Like Allie from the notebook." He says. "Yea. Which means we have to get a boy cat too. So she can have a Noah." He smiles.

"Yea, but we can wait until she's done being bottle fed." He finishes feeding Allie and puts her in the little bed you bought for her at the pet store. He comes back over to where you're sitting in the bed and kisses you. "I said no cats, and you've somehow convinced me to get two. You are a force of nature my love." He smiles kissing you again. "I love you."

"I love you Bucky."

A WEEK LATER

"Babe, the cat keeps climbing on my belly." You laugh. Bucky walks over to you and picks the cat up off your stomach.

"You can't blame her, your stomach is comfortable to lay on." He says.

"I like when you lay on my stomach. I get to hold you." He puts Allie in her bed again and lays you down on the bed and lays his head on your stomach.

"Like this?" He asks.

"Yea, like that" you giggle.

"I think I'm going to take a nap. I'm tired baby. Getting up with her every two hours is exhausting."

"Well I try to but you tell me to go back to sleep." You reply.

"I don't want you to be tired. And you look so peaceful."

"Okay from now on we take turns."

"Ok. Deal." He whispers.

He's almost instantly asleep. He lays on your stomach and you hold onto him rubbing your hands through is hair and watching him sleep.

"I love you James." You whisper into his ear and kiss his cheek.
