A couple of months had passed in New York. Nothing had really been happening due to the Coronavirus. Everyday Merida and Bucky would lounge in bed watching movies and eating pizza. Most of the time movie day would have sex involved as well seeing as neither of them were to leave the penthouse.

Bucky headed to his office just after lunch to catch up on work that he had been putting off. Merida lay in bed watching Grey's Anatomy, her phone buzzed on the side table, reaching over she unlocks it seeing there's a notification from one of her apps 'Flow'. It was an app the helps track periods. Merida opens the app reading the information displayed to her.

Her period was late

Jumping up from the bed Merida started to think back to her last period which she couldn't remember. She had felt sick for a couple of weeks but she was assuming it was to do with all the junk food she would eat whilst watching movies. Panic set in and she ran to the on-suit bathroom and was sick in the toilet a couple of times. Standing up and splashing some water on her face she heads out the room and makes her way to Bucky's office. He was on a conference call, Merida popped her head round the door and Bucky looked up letting a smile spread across his face. Waving her over, Merida sit's on Bucky's lap pecking his cheek.

"I'm going to the grocery store, want anything?"

Bucky shakes his head and mutes the call. "You ok? Want me to come with you I can cut this short" Bucky nods towards the phone.

"I'm just going for a couple of things, won't be long. I love you". Kissing his lips before grabbing her face mask and keys leaving for the store Merida makes her way down the street stopping at Starbucks to get a Caramel Latte to calm her nerves.

Making her way inside the store Merida makes her way to the medicine section grabbing four Clear Blue tests and heading towards the cashier. Inserting her bank card into the machine before punching in the numbers Merida gives a thanking smile from under her face mask before taking the bag and heading towards the exit. She makes her way home looking into Bucky's office giving him a wave to say she's back. Heading towards the bedroom Merida sets down the bag with a couple of snacks and water in it, rummaging through the bag she grabs the pregnancy tests and water before heading into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Taking a large gulp of her water she opens the tests before individually peeing on each stick. Washing her hands and sitting on the edge of the large tub she awaits the results. Her heart thumping in her chest.

This would be the longest three minutes of her life.
