This final chapter is going to be written a bit differently and a bit shorter than the rest. Hope you all enjoy. Thank you for sticking around this journey. I can't believe how far this has come and honestly am so, so thankful to you all for supporting me in all of it ❤️❤️❤️😭😭
Amelia had a smooth pregnancy, thanks to all the connections and resources she had. The delivery was a bit more complicated. Their baby had twisted and the umbilical cord got tangled around the babes neck, dropping their oxygen levels, scaring both Amelia and BuckyThankfully the doctors and staff were skilled enough to deliver the baby with no other complications
Amelia gave a natural birth, and Bucky couldn't stop praising her the entire time. Telling her how in awe he is of what she's doing, how strong she is
She gave birth to a baby boy on November 19th at 8:43 PM. They named him Oliver Grant Barnes. And Bucky couldn't be more proud, and terrified. He didn't want to hold him at first, scared that the years of blood on Buckys hands would somehow taint this new life. Nearly crying the moment he did, mumbling 'he's perfect' to himself
Steve had unshed tears in his eyes when they told him the name a few days later when they allowed visitors, smiling down at the swaddled bundle in his arms. Tony, of course, gave them a hard time
"What's wrong with Anthony? Or hey, how about Edward? Come on." He joked, faking hurt at the news
"Maybe the next one." Amelia had said, biting back a smile and catching Buckys glance. The idea of having another baby with the love of his life sending his heart racing
They were officially parents. The fact hitting them like a train when they were gearing up to leave the hospital. And wow did they have new parent syndrome
Fretting over every little thing, every sound, every cry. Watching like hawks whenever someone else held or did anything involving the baby. Even the team, which they apologized for numerously. The team was understanding though, waving off their apologies and going with the flow of Amelia and Bucky, not wanting to stress them out further. No matter how ridiculous they might have been acting
Alpine wasn't a fan of the baby for a while, always just staring and bolting the moment he started crying. Or giving Bucky and Amelia a side eye glare when they'd enter the same room as Alpine with a wailing babe in their arms. She eventually grew to love Oliver though. Curling into his swaddled side while he napped, or just out of arms reach when he wasn't wrapped up
Sleepless and diaper changing filled nights ensued the new parents, both on edge constantly with the other. Amelia had severe separation anxiety, quickly recognizing the signs of it and signed herself up for counseling. Slowly, over a few months, she even started leaving little Oliver at home with Bucky while she went to her sessions. Then when she went grocery shopping. Then she stopped calling every chance she had while at work to check on things

Hard to Love (Bucky Barnes fanfic)
FanficA/N: first few chapters are a bit 'cringy' with spelling errors (I write this on my phone) but if you can get past those two things, I PROMISE the story and writing get better. Will be doing heavy editing/construction once the book is complete Agent...
