Newbie (Bucky x Reader)

Epilogue

The rest of the wedding had gone swimmingly, and Bucky had really gone out of his way to make sure you felt loved, and every day since. The pregnancy had gotten hard as the months progressed, and you were ordered on bed rest for the last month. Bucky took the entire month off to be with you and get you everything that you needed, including strawberries and Nutella. Your dad showed up twice a week. Sundays and Wednesdays to bring you cupcakes that you went through easily. He seemed to be enjoying being the proud grandpa, and watching as you grew. Tony had a small nursery put into your suite, which was filled with teddy bears and unicorns. You had managed to get to go to a girls day in your later months, but Steve, Loki, and Bucky joined you for it. People barely recognized you in public, but they never seemed to stop recognizing Bucky. The boys seemed to have just as much fun shopping for the new babies as you did. You and Bucky had also decided to keep the sex of the babies to be a surprise, since it didn't really matter what they were, as long as they were healthy. You gave birth at thirty two weeks to a little boy, and a little girl. You named the little girl Winifred Rose Barnes, and the little boy Grant Nicholas Barnes, after your parents. They were full size, even though you were considered premature and turned out to be a handful. After the first year of maternity leave, Tony hired a nanny for while you and Bucky were working and had a daycare put in for you both so you wouldn't have to worry as much. It took you a while to get back into shape, but you were happy once you could go on missions again. Bucky was always protective, and never missed a beat when it came to protecting you. You were fiercely protective of him as well on missions, and were both a force to be reckoned with.

Today was the twin's second birthday, and you smiled softly to Maria as you went outside to the garden the twins loved so much with strawberry and peach cupcakes on a platter, and Happy followed behind you with a teapot full of juice. You had a secret, you were waiting to tell Bucky later and smiled as he came into view. Bucky, Loki, Sam, Fury, and Steve were sitting with Whinny (Winifred) around a small picnic blanket that dwarfed compared to their size with teddy bears all around them and holding cups of tea. Grant was playing with his Aunt Nat and Uncle Bruce and squealing happily as Nat carried him around or threw him up in the air before catching him.
"Finally, I was worried she was going to have a meltdown if she didn't have her tea" Tony saw you coming and grinned as you set the cupcakes down in the center of the table.
"She does love her peach juice" you giggled.
"I blame your pregnancy cravings." Pepper smiled at you softly. She gave you a knowing look and you flushed slightly but bit your lip and walked over to Bucky and slipped your arms around his neck while Whinny was instructing them to have their pinkies up like Uncle Loki taught her.
"How is my handsome husband?" you whispered into his ear.
"Whinny is bossy, I think she gets it from her grandfather" he whispered back.
"I heard that" Fury chuckled. "That's my girl right there" he held up his hand to Whinny who leaned over and high fived her grandfather. Daisy came over and licked Whinnys face, having gotten tired of chasing after Grant and Natasha, and let out a groan as she laid beside her.
"Mama, cupcakes" Whinny looked at you.
"They are on the table, my little rose" you smiled softly, and gave Bucky a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Mama, I want cupcakes now" she put her hands on her hips sternly with a huff.
"Well, you need to blow out your candles first" you giggled. "Wait until after supper" you added softly.
"Birthday cake!" Grant squealed as he finally caught on to the table full of cupcakes.
"How about a little more tea, little rose?" Loki suggested, and poured some of the juice into the teacups again. "Pinkies up," he reminded her as she grabbed her tea cup.
"Can I steal daddy for a few minutes?" you looked at Whinny and she seemed to take a moment to think about it.
"Otay" she nodded.
"What's going on doll?" Bucky asked, standing up.
"Let's go for a walk" you smiled, and slipped your hand easily into his as you started to lead him away.
"Where are we headed?" he asked softly.
"The gazebo" you shrugged, swinging both of your hands a bit as you moved. He followed you into the gazebo, and you pulled him to take a seat on the side where there was a bench. "I just wanted a moment with my loving husband" you smiled softly at him.
"I'm always up for a moment with my loving wife" he chuckled and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. "These kids of ours are growing up so fast," he mused softly.
"If someone would have told me three years ago, that a little girl would have you sitting down with your pinky up to have fake tea, I would have laughed until I cried" you giggled a little bit.
"I wouldn't have believed it either, to be honest. She even has Stevie doing it" he chuckled. You both looked up in time to see Clint coming across the grounds with his family behind him, headed for the little birthday party in the garden. Clint was carrying his daughter Lila, and looking like one proud dad. You knew there would be shrieks shortly. The twins loved when Clint's family visited, almost as much as they loved when their grandpa visited. "I wanted to run something past you, since I have a moment alone with you" Bucky lowered his voice a little bit.
"What is it?" you asked with a smile.
"Well, it's just with the kids around the suite seems to be getting a lot smaller. They are growing so fast. I was thinking about buying a house. Tony offered to let us build here on the compound, back here by the gazebo so we can still be close to work, and it's just a quick run across the grounds" he looked at you with a soft smile. "We would have more privacy, and there's still a few babysitter's really close. We can put up a little white fence, maybe get another dog"
"How long have you been wanting to do this?" you asked with a soft smile, leaning into his chest, looking up at him with all the love evident in your eyes.
"Since before we got married, but I've been talking to Tony on and off for the last year since you finished maternity leave and started back at work. I think what cemented it is that I really wanted to do this with you, that and if I keep stepping on the kids' toys. There's not enough room for us in the compound anymore. The kids are going to need their own bedroom soon, and Tony can't keep doing renovations. I thought if we paid for a house, we can really make a go of it" Bucky seemed to be trying to make a case for it, but you already knew you wanted to do the move.
"That sounds perfect James" you leaned up and went to kiss him softly on the cheek, but he moved his face last minute and grazed his lips against yours. You hummed happily and he turned more in the seat and pulled you closer to him and tilted his head to deepen the kiss. You didn't get to kiss for that long anymore, so you were enjoying it while you could.
"I have a secret" Bucky pulled back from the kiss and grinned at you.
"What's your secret?" you raised an eyebrow.
"I'm still as crazy about you today, as the day we met" he grinned cheekily. "Maybe even more crazy about you now" he smiled.
"Want to know a secret?" you whispered to him. He looked at you expectantly and you grinned. "I'm even crazier about you" you bit your bottom lip and he leaned forward and brushed his lips against yours again. "Even more so than I thought possible" you pulled back after a moment. "I have to warn you about something" you gazed into his eyes, and he smiled at you with so much love. "You might not like it," you warned him.
"When it comes to you, I know I'll love it" he shook his head.
"Well..." you reached into your back pocket, and pulled out a small piece of fabric you had folded up earlier after having a talk with Loki, well before the birthday party. You handed it to him and he looked a little confused as he unfolded it before it became a baby onesie and his face broke out into a smile.
"Really?!" he asked excitedly.
"Loki doesn't know if it's more than one again, but really. Looks like we need that house a little sooner rather than later" you spoke softly.
"I'm going to be a dad again?" he pulled you off the seat as he stood up and he turned in a circle holding you under the arms and swinging you around. "This is the best news ever" he pulled you in close, with your feet still off the ground and smashed his lips against yours passionately. You moved your hands from his shoulders to behind his head, and carded your fingers through his hair.
"Mommy! Cake!" Grant came running up into the gazebo with Connor and Nathaniel chasing after him and giving you apologetic looks. You loved Clint's kids, they were always so sweet with yours.
"Mommy's busy Grant" Connor tried to reason with Grant.
"Mom!" Grant called again, causing both you and Bucky to finally separate.
"He's not going to deal well with having another sibling" Bucky whispered.
"He'll learn," you giggled as Bucky put you back on your feet.
"Come on, lets go have supper first" you stooped down to pick up Grant but Bucky stopped you and picked him up quickly in your place.
"Just in case" Bucky murmured. You knew he was already starting to worry about you being pregnant again.
"We are only a month in" you sassed him a bit, jetting your hip out resting your hand on the bone.
"I want you to back off missions" he shot back with concern filled eyes.
"My love, you know I'm too stubborn for that" you sighed.
"Let me dream," he chuckled. "At least one of my dreams is coming true. We are going to be at least one more towards that baseball team" he looked at you with a wink.
"Dad" Grant reminded him of his presence.
"Alright, let's go" Bucky leaned over to give you a chaste kiss on the side of your head and you started to lead the way back to the birthday party with a wide smile placed on your lips.
