The next few days went by pretty quickly. You, Nat, and Wanda went shopping for the party the day after Tony announced it. You spent time with your fiancé and enjoyed every minute of it, other than feeling like shit the last two days.
You woke up this morning and rushed into the bathroom as a sudden wave of nausea struck you.
"Doll?" Bucky woke up, came into the bathroom and found you hunched over the toilet, throwing up. He came up behind you and held your hair back as he rubbed your back.
You stopped and sat onto the bathroom floor with your back against the wall.
"You okay?" Bucky asked, concerned.
You nodded and stood up. You washed your mouth out and quickly brushed your teeth.
Bucky went back into his bedroom, which was now a shared room between the two of you, and sat down on the bed. You cam in shortly after and laid down next to him, putting your head in his lap. He stroked your hair as you slowly fell back to sleep.
...
"Y/n, wake up." Bucky shook you lightly. "It's 4 in the afternoon. We gotta get ready for the party." You stirred awake. "Do you feel up to it?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." You mumbled and sat up a little.
"Are you sure? You don't have to go."
"Yeah, I'll go." You got up and went into the bathroom. You took a quick shower and did your hair and makeup.
You put on some casual clothes for the time being, seeing as though you had some errands to run before the party.
By the time you got back to the Compound, it was already a little after seven and you needed to get your dress on.
Once you got it on your complete look looked like this:

Bucky came out of the bathroom wearing this:

You took his hand and made your way down to the party.
You were greeted by a huge crowd. Bucky made sure you knew that you were safe and didn't let go of your hand until you were completely through the crowd.
Bucky went over to talk to Steve and you walked over to the bar where Nat was serving drinks to the rest of the team.
"Damn girl. You look hot. Can I get you the usual, Cocktail?" She asked.
"Uhh no. I'm going sober tonight." You smiled.
Nat gave you a look and pulled you by the arm, far enough away, so that the team couldn't hear your conversation.
"How long have you known?" She blurted.
"What?"
"Don't play coy with me. I know your pregnant. You aren't drinking alcohol and your sick in the mornings. How long have you known?" She asked again, this time, more persistent.
"Shh. I've found out this morning."
"Does Bucky know?"
"Not yet, I haven't figured out how to tell him."
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone. Do you wanna tell him tonight, after the party? I can help." She asked as she handed you a virgin drink.
"Sure." You smiled and grabbed the drink from her hand.
You talked with Nat for a while. Wanda eventually joined in on the conversation.
"Are you okay?" Wanda asked and placed a hand on your shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm fine." You gave her a soft smile, knowing she was onto you.
"Y/n I can sense something is off with you. Now I suggest you tell me or I will read your mind." She demanded.
Your eyes darted to Nat, she smiled and you did the same. "Wanda, I'm pregnant." She squealed loudly and hugged you. "Shhhh. Nobody besides you and Nat know yet."
"Sorry!" She exclaimed and let go of you.
You girls talked for a little longer and came up with a plan of how to tell Bucky.
A slower song came on and Bucky walked over to you, taking your hand and pulling onto the dance floor. You giggled and followed him.
You rested your hands on the nape of this neck and intertwined your fingers. Bucky placed hands around your waist and swayed to the music with you in his arms. After a few minutes of dancing, your arms got tired and your wrapped them around Bucky's torso as you pressed the side of your face to his chest.
...
The party went on for a few more hours until Tony kicked everyone out. Then, the Avengers after party started.
Everyone was sitting on the couches in the living area and laughing over dumb things.
Nat and Wanda pulled you aside to speak to you about the plan.
"Are you ready?" Wanda asked with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Yeah, you got the stuff?"
"Mhm." Nat handed you a bag. You gave her a nervous smile. "Don't worry. He's going to explode with excitement." H
She gave you a quick hug and went back into the living room with Wanda. You walked back in a few minutes later.You stood in front of the team and waved bucky over. He got up and went to your side.
"Everything okay, Doll?" He asked.
"Yeah." You smiled and let your excitement show as you handed him a small gift bag.
"What's this?"
"Consider it an engagement gift." Your smile grew wider as he opened it.
He pulled out the tissue paper and threw it on the floor. He picked up one of the objects in the bag. It was a small rectangular box.
He opened the small box. His face went from smiling, to confused, and then finally lighting up once he realized what it was.
"What is it, Barnes?" Tony inquired.
Bucky ignored him and looked up at you with a huge smile.
"You're pregnant?!" His smile grew larger as you nodded your head.
He sat the box, which had a positive pregnancy test inside, on the table for the team to see as he wrapped his arms around you tightly and kissed you deeply.
Cheers erupted in the room.
"Congratulations, guys!" Steve hollered.
Everyone else congratulatulated you and gave you both hugs.
"Wait. What else was in the bag?" Sam asked.
"Oh right!" Bucky exclaimed and grabbed the rest of the contents out of the bag. Revealing a small stuffed animal, a pair of socks, and a onesie.
He unfolded the onsie and let out a small laugh.
"What's it say?" Peter asked.
Bucky flipped the onesie around to show the team.
The onesie had a little loading symbol on it and read:
Loading...
Barnes 2.0
Please waitBucky wrapped his arms around you again and kissed you as he placed a hand on your stomach.
"I love you, Doll."
"I love you too, Barnes."
