It's been two and a half months since Steve has started patching things up between Bucky and Melany, which means that there's two weeks left before the wedding. Tony and Wanda were revving up for the big day, while Bucky and Melany were trying to get the most out of their time together as they could while they weren't being pulled away by the groomsmen or the bridesmaids.

Steve was Bucky's best man again, and to Bucky's surprise, Sam wasn't that upset about it either. Per Sam's explanation, he was glad he didn't have to throw Bucky his bachelor party because he 'didn't want to throw a party for an old man'.

Currently, Melany, Bucky, Steve, Sam, Nat and Wanda were at the compound, going over Wanda's wedding planner to go over any last details.

"Mel?" Wanda waved her hand in front of Melany's face as she was staring blankly at the ground.

"Yes?" She snapped her head up, looking over at Wanda.

"Everything okay, doll?" Bucky asked from the other side of her as he grazed his thumb over the top of her hand.

Melany nodded her head. "Yeah," she gave them both a soft smile. "What were you asking about?"

It's taken everything in Melany not to think about the pregnancy test that she bought and was hiding in her bathroom at home. She hasn't taken it yet, scared of what Bucky would think. Her period is late, but she wasn't sure if it's because of stress from the wedding, or if she was pregnant.

For the last two months, Bucky and Melany have talked about having kids, but it's not like they were actively trying apart from right after the Steve debacle cleared up.

"I asked if you were still good for the bachelorette party?" Wanda asked, her brows furrowed.

Melany nodded. "Of course."

Wanda nodded with a smile. "Awesome. Are we stayed at your place that night, or are we coming back here?"

"What do you want to do?" Melany looked over at Bucky, who was already staring at her.

"I can come back here, you girls can have the house." He said with a small grin. He leaned over, kissing her cheek.

"Anything else you needed all of us here for, Wanda?" Sam chimed in, crossing his arms over his chest.

Wanda shook her head. "If I need something else, I'll text in the groupchat." She smiled.

Steve and Bucky groaned. "You can't just text us separately?" Bucky asked.

"What's wrong with the groupchat?" Nat asked.

"My phone won't shut the fuck up." Bucky replied, a scowl on his face.

Melany giggled. "Don't worry about it, babe." She leaned over, placing a kiss to the corner of his mouth as he was still turned toward Nat. "Let's go home." For a split second, her mind slipped, thinking about the test in her bathroom cabinet.

Wanda paused in her seat with a gasp. Melany whipped her head toward her. "Wanda."

"Mhmm?" Wanda looked over at her with a bright smile.

Melany shot up, grabbing her hand. "Come here." Bucky watched them walk out of the room with wide eyes, not understanding.

"Are they okay?" Steve asked, looking over at Bucky. "What did Wanda see?"

Bucky shrugged. "I don't know." He looked across the group who were already staring him down.

He rolled his eyes, standing up. "If I knew, I'm sure she would've said something to you guys."
