Never Enough | Bucky Barnes X OC

"Babe? Have you seen my trainers?", Bucky calls up the stair case. He was tugging at his shirt, wanting the collar to look perfect. 

"Mhmm no. Just grab something and go", Ophelia replies, stifling a yawn. "Don't want to be late on your first day-"

"Don't jinx it!", running up the stairs. He flops down on the bed, kissing her cheek. "I made you and the boys some pancakes. Have a good day honey."

"You too, my sweet boy. First 48 hours is hard. I'll be there for you", she smiles.

"Mhmm, sleep in for me pretty", kissing her cheek before he rushes out.

As soon as she hears the front door close, Ophelia springs up from her position, putting on her clothes quickly. Her own shift started in two hours, and she always left in a rush no matter how long she had to prepare. Plus, Bucky couldn't offer her a lift, because he didn't know it was her first day at Seattle Grace Hospital too. 

"Peter! Pancakes!", Ophelia knocks on his door a couple of times.

"You realise its nearly 6am? And I'm on summer break?"

"You're a PhD student, you don't get a break!", she calls, running downstairs to get her coffee fix.

She nearly jumps, seeing Groot downstairs all dressed already. "I am Groot!"

"No, no, cloud blue in your dad and I's bedroom. You need to ask Peter when he gets up what he wants."

"I am Groot?"

"Yes, he's gone already", she sighs, knowing what he was going to say next. 

"I am Groot?"

"No, course not. It's a surprise", sipping her coffee.

"I am Groot", he mumbles.

"Hey! No more comments, or I'm reducing your pay for this job-"

"I am Groot!"

"I can do it! You just said I'd be in the dog house!"

"Please, no more shouting. I am here", Peter stumbles into the kitchen with his eyes closed. "Decided to get those pancakes after all", he yawns. Ophelia smiles a little bit, knowing his weakness of a sweet-tooth. 

"Morning Pete. I'm gonna be leaving soon, so I'll see you at like 9pm?"

"I still don't get why you didn't tell dad that Doctor Webber hired you as an attending. It's an-"

"An amazing thing, yes, yes I know. You give me this lecture all the time", she sighs. Ophelia was excited to be back, but she didn't want to make Bucky nervous. She was just as nervous as he was, and two nervous adults living in the same house was bound to be a bad idea. 

"Groot's right. You are going to be in the dog house. You're a trauma attending, and dad wants to go into trauma surgery. He's gonna go ballistic-"

"Ballistic because he won't want to work with his wife, yes Peter", accepting that she was being lectured by her own kids once again.
