Bucky Barnes: The love of my life

"I'm here."

Steve's POV:

We're at the hospital. The entire way there y/n wouldn't let go of my hand, I could see her shaking in the passenger seat, she's terrified and the only person she wants is Buck.

They're doing an ultrasound right now. She's finally stopped crying and she refuses to let go of my hand. I don't mind. I want to do whatever I can to comfort her, and I'm glad she can trust me since Bucky isn't here.

"Okay, everything looks fine. The babies are fine. It looks like it's just round ligament pain. It happens when your uterus is stretching, with twins it tends to be worse. I'm surprised you haven't felt it before. But it's good."

She finally breaths and loosens her grip on my hand slightly. "They're okay?"

"They're fine. We'll do a follow up in two weeks but I'm gonna keep you for another few hours for observation, but you'll be fine so will your babies."

They move us to a patient room and she falls asleep. I call Wanda and let her know.

Wanda's POV:

I just got off the phone with Steve. He told me everything is okay and explained what it was so I could explain it to Bucky when he wakes up.

I put a cool rag on his head and sat next to him up until I answered the phone. I'm standing at the edge of the bed and just hung up. I hear stirring.

"Wanda? Where's y/n? What happened?" I turn around and he's already out of bed. "She's fine. Steve took her to the hospital. You must have gotten overwhelmed and passed out."

He doesn't seem to be satisfied with my answer.

"The babies are fine. It's round ligament pain, just from her uterus stretching from the pregnancy."

He takes it all in and nods. "Okay, I'm going."

"No, hold on. You can't drive. Steve specifically told me not to let you drive. Nobody else is here so you're either gonna have to take an Uber, run or wait. They'll be home in a couple hours. They're keeping her for observation just to be safe."

"Why can't you take me?"

"Because I have to watch Allie. We can't leave her and we can't take her to the hospital with us."

"Can't you just bring her to drop me off? You don't have to stay." He's desperate and I honestly haven't thought of that.

"Okay,"

Bucky's POV:

Wanda dropped me off at the hospital and I had a nurse take me to y/n. I walk in and she's asleep. Steve's watching over her.

I walk in and he feels my presence as soon as I'm in the room. He turns his head over his shoulder to see me and I start walking over to the bed.

"Hey, how'd you get here?" He's whispering so he doesn't wake her. "Wanda. She left." He nods and gets out of his chair letting me take his place.

I take her hand in mine and kiss it gently.

"I'm here." I whisper onto your hand and kiss it again.

———————

A few hours later i wake y/n up because her doctor said she could be discharged now.

"Hey," I run my hands through her hair and kiss her forehead, "time to wake up baby."

She slowly wakes up and when her eyes open she smiles. "You're here!" She exclaims. "I'm here. But it's time to go home now."

"Okay."

Steve stays on the other side of the room, reading. Things have been a lot better than I thought they would be after our one day together. I honestly expected some sort of drama, but we haven't even come close to that.

We're all adults and we handled it maturely. and there are no hard feelings, we're the same Steve and Bucky.

Y/n yells out of nowhere and it scares the life out of me. "What!? What happened!?" She smiles and holds her stomach. "I felt a kick." Her face lights up and she can't stop smiling. My hand goes to her stomach and stays there. I feel it too. I get teary eyed. "I feel it too." I kiss her and we rest our foreheads on each other's feeling our babies kick.

Your POV:

We get home and James won't let me do anything. I just want to get a drink and he won't let me out of bed. He went to the kitchen to get me some water. When he left Steve came in.

"Hey stranger!" I smile as he walks into the room and he chuckles, coming over and sitting on the edge of the bed. "How're you feeling?"

"I don't feel like someone is trying to carve me open so i'm all good, babies are good. James on the other hand," I pause and he nods, "is a mess." he finishes.

"Is a mess." We sit in silence for a few minutes, I wonder what's taking James so long. I try to make small talk. "He's been gone for a while." I state the obvious. I put my hands on my baby bump and look at it trying to avoid eye contact, its a little weird.

"Thank you for staying with me today. I've never seen Bucky upset like that, I think his fear of something happening to the twins got the best of him." I bite my lip as I slowly make eye contact. Is Bucky a sore subject since he chose me over Steve?

"Of course, i'll hold your hand and let you squeeze it to death whenever you need," we both laugh a little, its slightly forced, "I've never seen him like that either." He pauses. "He's gonna be a great dad. He cares so much, about you, the babies..." He looks down at his hands.

"And you." He looks at me, a little confused. "He cares about you to Steve." He nods and smiles. "He does. But you, your kids, even Allie-which is surprising because he hates cats-you guys are everything to him."

I reach over and hold his hand. "So are you. It's not a competition Steve. He loves you too. I know he told you he does."

His smile fades and he looks up at me. "He still chose you."

"Yea, he did." We stay silent for a minute. Where the hell is Bucky? "But did you really think he was going to chose you?" I can tell he's surprised by my question. I am too. "No. I knew he would chose you." He takes a deep shaky breath. "Is it selfish that I just wanted to be with him that one day? I needed to see what it was like."

"No, it's not selfish at all."

Neither of us say anything else. I realize i'm still holding his hand but I decide not to let go. I take my other hand and place it on the side of his face. "Hey," I use my hand on his face to make him look at me, "I love you Capsicle." He chuckles. "I love you too, Jerk."

"What do we have here?" Bucky chuckles as he enters the room. Steve and I realize were awfully close but neither of us care, neither does Bucky. This is our family. And part of me wishes Bucky wanted more than one day with Steve. I just wanted us all to be happy.

"A threesome?"
