Don't Mess With Me

Chapter 132

Watching Willow run around the apartment, up and down the hallway "Daddy?!...Daddy?!" getting on her hands and knees looking under the couch before pushing herself back up running down the hallway "Daddy!!??" taking a deep sigh.

"She really misses him doesn't she?" Nat walked around from the kitchen handing her a drink "Ya...it's been four days and she is confused when she wakes up in the morning and she doesn't get to cuddle with him before she goes to bed. She looks in his spots for him, she goes into his closet, his side of the bed, the bathroom....it's only 10 more days till he is back and Shuri said we can do a video call with him tomorrow so hopefully that helps and doesn't make her more upset"

"I bet she will be fine...how are you doing?" placing the drink on the coffee table before sitting back getting comfortable "What do you think I have Sam living here with me because I haven't slept without Bucky in 3 years"

"Not true, you had a few days after his birthday, Christmas time because of the man we do not speak of and then of course the...you know Etan."

"I was mad on the birthday and Christmas one and I didn't have a choice with the Etan one. And the Christmas one I missed him but he was two doors down so it didn't feel that weird"

"Mommy?" Willow walking down the hallway with one of Bucky's shoes "Daddy?"

"Daddy is at work baby" handing Maddie the shoe climbing up onto her lap "Shoo"

"Yes, but it's called shoe not shoo" playing with her curls "Are you worried at all about the baby?"

"No, I'm only 31 weeks. I got 9 weeks to full term and even though I know she will come earlier than later I still feel okay" rubbing her belly "How do you think Bucky is doing?"

"I hope good, I feel like Shuri would tell me if something would go wrong but again" looking down to her bump "maybe not" Nat placing her hand on her bump "I think she knows Bucky isn't here...she is still active but not as much....how is she already a daddy's girl and she isn't out of the womb yet" chuckling "Bucky is all about caring for them the moment he knows about them what do you expect" smiling at her "I know, he talks to them any chance he gets, he tells them he loves them, he rubs my belly to feel them"

"He was meant to be dad" nodding her head "Ya he is...I think it comes with age" breaking out in laughter as Willow looks back and forth between them. "I gotta put her down for a nap"

"Here let me do it, you just relax" , Willow waving to Maddie before being carried her to her bedroom. "Thanks" readjusting on the couch "O-" putting her hand on her bump feeling a braxton hick "Don't you fucking dare" speaking through her teeth.

Picking up her phone from the coffee table as it rings, seeing it, said Bucky. "Hi" smiling even though he can't see it. "Hi doll" smiling back through the phone "How's it going?" wanting to get up and walk but also not feeling like getting up "I'm doing alright...they uh put me under for a little bit and they took my arm"

"They-they took your arm?" confused "Ya, they say it's a way of detaching myself from my past while we work on my past...I'll get it back when this is all over but until then I got to get use to not having it"

"Are they saying anything about the progress? Like are you on track?" her fingers tapping on her bump "We haven't done a lot of things yet, I've been put under twice, the first time was for the arm, the second was to see if I would react." his voice getting quiet "Did you react?" hearing him breathing heavily through the phone "Ya....I didn't hurt anyone, but it I remember what had all happen"

"This wasn't a dream one was it?" shaking his head knowing she can't see it "You were him again." not even having to question it since the silence is answering it "How do you feel?"
