Bucky Barnes - The Baby

A/N: Infinity War/Endgame spoilers if you haven't seen it

"I'm just saying, you have a staring problem." Sam shrugged as he and Bucky came back after a long mission.

Bucky, who was getting tired of Sam today, just tried to ignore it. "I'm a sniper, it's my job."

"Fair, but still. Ease up, all right?"

"I don't need you telling me what to do."

"Oh, yeah? What do you need?" Bucky remained silent and Sam wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "(Y/n)? You and (y/n) need a night to just-"

"-If you finish that sentence I will kill you."

Sam tried to hide his laugh just as Tony came into the room carrying a bundle in his arms. It was moving so it was alive.

"Barnes!" The said man shouted, coming over. "Take it."

It took Bucky a few moments to comprehend what was going on and he realised the bundle in Tony's arms was actually a baby. A living, breathing baby. He didn't move.

"Come on, I don't have all day."

"I, uh, I don't-" Bucky cut himself off, being forced to take the child. "Did you and Pepper have another kid?"

"Oh, no, no, no. Morgan is more than a handful. This one, this is yours."

He was a little more than shocked to say the least. Sam was also surprised and turned to Bucky with an accusing look.

"Did you and (y/n) have a kid in secret or something?" He asked. "It's definitely got her eyes."

"She." Tony corrected. "It's a she. And as much as we all really want Barnes and (l/n) to get a move on, that, my dear friends, is (y/n)."

"What?" The men questioned.

Bucky looked at the baby in his arms and did indeed notice the striking familiarity in the eyes. They weren't just like yours, they were the exact same (e/c) shade, with the exact same curiosity and wonder in them.

"(Y/n)?" He asked slowly. In response you raised your tiny hand and tried to grab some of his hair and pulled.

"Yeah, that's (y/n)." Sam commented.

"How did this happen?"

"You know that 'time machine' Lang fluked?" Tony asked, getting a nod. "Well (y/n) was tasked with disabling it so it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands but even though she destroyed it, something didn't go the right way and voila."

"Voila? She's a baby, Tony!" You started to fuss because of all the sudden raise in voices and Bucky glanced at you with worry. "Shh, it's okay. You're okay."

"There is good news."

"It better be really good news."

"Well, she seems to be growing rapidly. An hour ago she was a newborn and now she's gotta be almost a year. I don't know how or why yet but I'd wager that she'll be normal again in a few days, weeks at most."

"So we have to watch (y/n) grow up?" Sam quiered.

"Pretty much."

"Oh no."

"Oh no?" Bucky questioned.

"She told me she was a nightmare growing up."

"Maybe she exaggerated?"

At that point you decided to scream with everything you had. You didn't know why but just felt the need to.

"Good luck." Was all Tony said as he swiftly made an exit.

-

A day later and you were at the toddler stage. You had begun talking and running which no one liked. For example, if you weren't trying to run with scissors you were talking about trying to run with them. Everyone had their hands full.

Currently you were clinging to Loki's leg and he hobbled in looking quite happy with it really. Those in the room, however, were a little concerned.

"What is (y/n) doing?" Bucky asked, seeing you clinging to the god of mischief like he was a lifeline.

"I wanna keep him!" You shouted.

Loki smiled down at you and Tony approached next. "Why?"

"Just 'cause."

"You can't keep him, (y/n/n)."

"Why?" Your joyful air vanished immediately, replaced with a frown.

"You gotta give him back." Tony said, smiling as kindly as he could and holding out a hand.

"No!" You cried, hugging the god's leg tighter.

"Apologize to this little princess before I teach her how to use a knife twenty years early." Loki warned.

"Fine." Tony sighed and backed away, holding up his hands in defence. "Sorry, (y/n)."

You looked up with the cutest look you could muster and nodded. "It okay."

Loki then lifted you up and held you in his arms instead, walking over and going to sit by Bucky. "Maybe she'll like you more."

Bucky held out his arms and you looked between Loki and him carefully deciding. Finally you reached out you were passed to Bucky. You settled down and hugged him tight, causing him to smile.

"(Y/n) is freakishly adorable." Loki commented, watching you curiously.

"Yeah, she never showed pictures from her childhood." Bucky agreed. "I don't know why."

-

Now you were a teenager, the dreaded phrase of everyone. You were well aware of what had happened to you now and all the memories were back. It was so awkward, realising all the stuff you had done when reliving the toddler days. The rest of the team teased you to no end and so you were plotting revenge.

Lego was placed outside everyone's doors and you were waiting in your own room with your alarm hooked up to every single speaker in the compound. They were gonna kill you for this but is so worth it in your eyes.

The clock struck 6am and your chosen sound ricocheted around every single wall. There were a few grumbles once the alarm ended but before long that was replaced by screams, yells, and curses as you heard the lego beneath their feet.

You snorted and began laughing your ass off as a chorused yell filled the compound.

"(Y/n)!"

-

You were normal. It had been a week since you were reverted back to your baby self but you were definitely an adult now.

You had just woken up and were rushing through the compound trying to find Bucky again. Finally the huge age gap was gone and was now fairly normal all things considered.

You knocked on his door repeatedly until you heard a tired groan and it swung open. It took him a minute to process but soon a smile was on his face.

"You're back?" He asked just to be sure.

You grinned in response and practically jumped at him, pressing a much needed kiss to his lips. "God, I've missed that."

"You and me both." Bucky mumbled against your lips, quickly closing his door with his foot and backing into the room again.

A/N: Hmm I'm not sure how good this one is. Any thoughts?
