Choices - Bucky Barnes & Steve Rogers AND OC

Epilogue

The kids are three now. Sarah has learned the art of simple judo from her Aunt Nat, while Theo had Clint teaching him how to use his child sized nerf archery kit with extreme accuracy. Ever since their third birthday, we've pretty much all been living in tiny human hell. At the party Tony gave Sarah child size boxing gloves and Theo a supersonic nerf gun. It's been a hit and miss ever since.

"No!" I heard Bucky scream in the common room as I rounded the corner, just as something smashed against the hardwood flooring. I grimaced as I became a witness of a stand off between father and son. "Give it."

"No," Theo challenged as he lifted the nerf machine, it had some punch to it too. The moment he hit the trigger and it landed against Bucky's forehead, it left an immediate welt. I bit my lip and decided to watch from the corner, pressing myself back so I blend in.

Ohhh that boy has way too much of his daddy's tude.

"You are in so much trouble," Bucky closed his eyes for a minute, trying to gather strength or patience so he doesn't kill his child, when out of nowhere he feels a swift kick to the back of his knee, and he goes down. His eyes opened and the look on his face was pure terror as he's met face to face with Sarah, and her stone cold IDGAF face.

"Leave my brother alone, Tati!" she shouted as her little first balled up and she socked him straight in the chest. His eyes widened as he fell back on the ground, he caught her mid air as she jumped to begin pounding on him.

"Oh my god, what the fuck is going on- Sarah Lillian Rogers!" his voice came out a little higher than usual at the utter surprise of being taken down by a toddler. I clamped my hand over my mouth and struggled to stay still. He needed help, but god if it wasn't entertainment.

"Tati," Theo's little voice had a stern tone to it as he walked up to Bucky and stood by his head. "You said a bad word." he lifted up his little play nerf gun and shot Bucky right between the eyes.

I doubled over. I knew I should have gotten onto them right then but it was the Avengers fault, teaching them to defend themselves and to look after one another- Bucky always drilled it into their head, always protect one another, if one is being picked on, take up for them and Steve, well he didn't like foul language around the children. It was their fault for making them into tiny villains.

"Leave Tati alone," I managed through a burst of uncontrollable laughter, both kids looked up and gave me shy smiles, knowing they weren't supposed to be beating up their father. "You should listen to him."

"We're raising spawns of-" I shushed Bucky before he could finish, he sat Sarah down and she shuffled over to her brother, looking down at her feet as I made my way over to them.

"Sarah, Theo," I said sternly, trying to hide the grin. "Are we allowed to use the toys on people?"

"No ma'am," they said in unison.

"Are we allowed to use our self defence training to be mean?" I asked again, kneeling down to be eye level with them.

"No ma'am," they say again.

"What does that mean?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

"No toys," Theo huffed as he walked over to his toy box and put his nerf gun in rather dramatically.

"Time out," Sarah said clenching her fists at her side, she grabbed Theo's hand and went to the couch, both of them sitting with pouts on their faces.

"Why is she so strong?" Bucky whimpered as he pushed himself up from his sitting position, I grinned as I turned away from the kids so they wouldn't see it.

"Super soldier father?" I suggested before turning to walk with Bucky into the kitchen, I leaned against the counter and smiled at him. "Think we should have more?"
