[08] -Uhh, Theres Blood...?

WARNING: THERE IS BLOOD INVOLVED IN THIS CHAPTER SO IF YOUR SENSITIVE TO THAT KIND OF STUFF THEN PLEASE SKIP THIS CHAPTER

——————————————————————

Having two 12 year olds and 8 year old was hard, you had to admit. Sammy and James were becoming the angsty teens that you used to be and Bucky was away more and more since he began leading missions so you were home alone a lot with the kids, but this time, it was your turn to jet off to some exotic place and leave Bucky to deal with both of them, on his own, for one week. 

You stood in your bedroom, folding shirts to place neatly in your suitcase that sat to the left of your entire wardrobe. Sammy, James and Jaxson would be home from school any minute, and you wanted to have your packing done so you could sit down and help them with their homework before catching your flight at 9PM. 

Your avenger career had taken off in the last several years, your most well known save called January to December, you saved an entire city from a large bomb threat. It got you nominated for several awards and now, you were hoping to find your next project on this trip to go to Malaysia to get some intel on a secret HYDRA base. 

"Mom!" you heard Sammys voice from downstairs, interrupting your last few moments of packing. You tossed the shirt in your hands down as you exited your bedroom and headed towards the stairs and all you could hear were your children arguing. 

You arrived in the living room, seeing Sammy, James and Jaxson in their school uniforms, already breaking into the bag of crisps that were on the counter and fighting over the right to hold the bag in their lap. 

"Uh uh," you scolded, taking the bag from Sammys grasp and taking it back into the kitchen. "We are literally going out to dinner in less than an hour. Go upstairs and change." 

"But mum!" Sammy whined, making you make the face at her. You know, the face that said you better not test me right now. Jaxson and James recoiled as soon as he saw your expression, but Sammy challenged it, which was relatively new. She raised her brows at you, and tried again to reach for the bag around your body. 

"You can either go up and change your clothes, or I can ground you for the next two weeks. Your choice." you bargained one last time, making her groan in frustration and retreat to the staircase, where she proceeded to stomp her feet all the way up to her room. 

"What's her problem?" Bucky asked as he entered the room from the back garden. He'd been working on a sliding barn door for the dining room in his workshop out back so he was sweating through his gray t-shirt and his locks were slicked back because they were wet. 

"She's just becoming a teenage girl," you respond with a smile, accepting his lips as he leaned in to kiss you. You saw Jaxson cringe from the living room couch, making you and Bucky both laugh as Bucky dramatically leaned in to kiss you again.

"Go take a shower, you stink," you said playfully, making Bucky stick his nose in the air and huff up the stairs, like his daughter before him. 

You laid out some clothes for Jaxson and soon enough, you were all on your way to dinner and then off to the airport to drop you off. 

"You sure I can handle this?" Bucky asked you, half-jokingly as you were about to get off outside the terminal. He'd never been the punishing type since he wasn't always home to enforce it and he was definitely feeling the pressure now that he will be parenting alone for the next week. 

"You're their father. Just be stern when you have to and you'll get through it. Don't forget Sammy has soccer on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Jaxson has gymnastics on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, also James has football practice everyday after school so he's home later than the other kids so don't get worried," you reminded him and he nodded before you leaned over the center council and pressed a sweet kiss to his lips. And you were gone.
