Triangle of Three

Chapter 26

Josies POV**

I left my brother in his cell. I needed time to think. I was processing so much. He swore an oath to me and for some reason when he did I felt this wash of truth and bond. Like a contract was made on his part and my subconscious accepted. I went to my room to rest. I closed my eyes and just tossed and turned. I looked at the clock it was only two in the morning. It was past Tony's time. I wondered if I could bug Zemo. I picked up my phone and called him. To my surprise he answered h sounded concerned "Josie, are you ok?"

"I could as you the same thing Zemo, it is two in the morning why are you awake?"

"Oh wow, I didn't even know. What did you call for?"

"I can't sleep can we go for ice cream or something?"

"Josie I am pretty sure places are closed."

"The superstore is 24/7 let's just get cartons and go to a park?"

I could hear his smile through the phone "Sure ill be your boyfriend stand-in. Be in the garage in 20 minutes." he hung up. I giggled. I went into my closet and picked out ripped jean shorts with a heather gray hoodie. I put on my all-white Nike air force ones. I got to the garage and Zemo was already leaning up against his car. 

"about time, I did say 20 minutes right?"  

I giggled "Ok dad. I get it. let's go."

He shook his head "Do not call me your dad again, Tony is more a dad. Don't put me in that spot." 

I giggled "so you aren't into the whole Dadddyyyy Kink?"

He cleared his throat loosening his tie, "I never said that."

Steve's POV***

The mission was easy. We got our intel and left. The warehouse was empty which didn't feel right. I had a feeling we were meant to find this information. Natasha and I were in the SUV, the only ones awake. "Have you talked to Josie?"

I was a little shocked by that statement "um yeah? She's fine. She and Bucky talked. I walked in on them hugging. She chooses me."

Her face smiled but her eyes had curiosity "did she tell you anything else?" I glanced over at her while gripping the wheel "can you just spit it out?"

She shook her head panicking "Josie will kill me. She didn't say anything about a test?"

I scrunched my eyebrows together "a test?"

Her eyes got large "forget it."

Yeah, no way was I going to forget about that. We got back and I noticed Zemo's car was gone. I met Tony inside "before you try another search party she went to go get ice cream with Zemo. After meeting her brother she needed a timeout."

I had my hands on my hips nodding "hey, Tony has Josie had any recent tests?"

He looked at me like I was an idiot "No? Maybe ask Banner." He snapped his fingers "actually here's a great idea! Ask her." He turned walking away as I rolled my eyes. That's it I have to fucking snoop.

I busted into Josie's room. Damn, I shouldn't be doing this. It feels wrong. Oh well, I'm already here. I started opening drawers and looking at her desk. I flipped three papers and files. I checked her laptop. Nothing. Fuck. All that's left are the nightstands. I went to the left one it was empty. I opened the right one there was just a pregnancy test I shut the drawer. Wait, what... I opened it back up slowly. I grabbed it. There was nothing on it? Maybe she didn't use it yet. Just then her door slammed open and Bucky walked in. He looked at me and froze.

"Oh Umm, I know she's not here and she has my favorite whisky in her bar... I can't get anyone to restock mine." He looked down in my hands "so you know."

I looked up at him confused. What the hell does he mean "It's blank.."

Bucky rubbed the back of his neck while he pulled his phone out. He pulled up a photo throwing the phone at me. I grabbed it as he chugged the whisky. I looked down. It was a test that said pregnant. Pregnant. Wait .. "why the fuck do you have her results on YOUR phone?"

I was pissed I stood up walking toward him. He put the whisky down on the bar with his hands up "Steve, I didn't want her to take the test alone and you were downstairs in the meeting room. That was the day you walked in. I was just moral support really."

I ran my hand through my hair. I went to turn away and I spun landing a punch on Buckys cheek. I fixed my hair smoothing it with both my hands.

"What the actual fuck is going on!"

Josies POV***

Bucky was on the ground with a gash on his cheek. "Anyone going to explain?"

I looked over at the room it was ransacked! I noticed the test on the bed. Oh shit. "So much for making it romantic." I looked into Steve's raging eyes "who tipped you off?"

He crossed his arms "why did he have to know before me? Was it some weird unfinished business?"

My heart sank. "You don't get to be angry at me." Bucky stood up grabbing the whisky bottle chugging.

Bucky looked at Steve "I'm not going to let you land any more punches buddy."

Steve turned ready to hit Bucky and I caught his fist. He immediately dropped his hands. "Now you're protecting him..why?"

I grabbed the sides of his face "Bucky, get the fuck out."

Without another word, he left slamming the door. Steve scanned my eyes. "Steve, we are having a baby. I was planning on making it romantic but this is far from what I imagined. Bucky only knew by coincidence. He came for whisky and saw the tests. He didn't want me to be alone. He was strictly here as a friend." I paused seeing tears well in his eyes "Steve I love you, only you. Please..don't be angry with me... I can't take you angry at me."

He smashed his lips to mine. It turned into a hot make-out session his hands moving all over my body. He pulled away pressing his forehead on mine "Josie, I am sorry for how I acted. I am just jealous of him being around because he was your first love. I remember the way you used to look at each other. He still has that look."

I sighed "I know he does, but I don't. I see you as my end game."

He smirked "I love you beyond words baby girl." He moved his hands down to my stomach he shifted his hands to my hips pulling me with him. He fell onto the bed while I was in between his legs "I am seriously overjoyed over this Josie." He leaned in kissing my stomach "I want this so badly. Especially with you."

I looked down into his eyes " I want this with you too. More than anything.." I straddled him running my hands through his hair. "I love you so much." He put his head into my chest trying to get to my chest. I giggled at his school attempt at seeing my chest. I pulled his head back "does someone want to have sex?"

He nodded looking up at me hungry "too bad." I pointed around my room at the mess he made. "Bad boys get punished."

He looked at my lips smirking "then reached me a lesson, baby girl."

Steve ran his hand up my arm as we laid in bed naked wrapping in silk sheets. "I have to get up I need to go talk to my brother again today." Steve nodded yawning. I got up putting on my white shirt with black leggings. I walked over to kiss Steve and heard the glass break and a prick go into my neck. I blinked hard. I looked at Steve who was rushing out of bed to catch me when someone burst in the window kicking him in the stomach. He flew into my bar smashing everything. A man caught me. I was passing out "she's fine, go get Shiva." With that, I was out.
