I woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed. I rolled over and turned on my ear piece and laid there listening to Bucky's slow heart beat. After 30 minutes of laying there thinking about him, I decided to get up and head over to the gym.

It was weird waking up in the compound this morning. Tony and I ended up talking more last night about me moving into the compound permanently and when Bucky wakes up, he can move in with me. So at some point today I'll have to go to my apartment and get everything.

Once I make it to the gym, I start running on the treadmill to warm up. After my muscles loosen up, I stretch a little more just to be good and ready. I decided today I was going to start with lifting weights and finish with the punching bag.

An hour later I finish my weight training and move over to the punching bag. As I am punching away, memories flood my mind.

Flash back to getting married
"James Buchanan. Where do I even start. You have been my entire life since I was 8 years old and you saved me from getting beat up. You were there for me when ma go sick and even when I was sick. You stayed by my side when there were times we were afraid it was my death bed but I kept pushing through to be with you. Then sadly I lost you and I will never forgive myself for what happened to you. I wish I could go back and save you. However, starting today and the rest of our lives, I promise I will protect you, cherish you, comfort you, but most of all I promise to unconditionally love you. I promise to be a supportive husband, to be understanding, to be your shoulder to cry on, and to wake up every day, and go to bed every night choosing you. You are my best friend, my lover, my soulmate and my Bucky, and from today till forever, I will be with you till the end of the line." I finish saying with a few tears rolling down my cheek.

Bucky is smiling big and has a few tears in his eyes as well.

"Oh Steven Grant. You little punk, if it wasn't for that bully all those years ago, who knows where we would have ended up. I worried about you so much because you always went around picking fights that you couldn't win at the time but that big heart inside that little body thought other wise. In reality I don't deserve someone like you. But Im more than lucky enough to have you and I will never take that for granted. I promise to be the husband that you deserve and love you no matter what happens to us. I promise to come to you when I'm struggling and be there for you when you struggle. In some weird twisted fucked up way, fate gave us a second chance to have the love and life we deserve. Today we start our lives as one and I couldn't be happier. This all may seem rash and rushed but damn I wanted to marry you since I was 18. And here I may finally doing it. Stevie I love you and I will forever chose you. You are my heart, my soul, my lifeline. Today is starting our forever, because I am with you till the end of line." Bucky finishes.

Time skip to moment with Little Bucky

"Daddy" little Buck says.

"Yes Jamie?" I ask

"Can I have ice cream? And cuddles!! Oooo and maybe watch a movie? Pwweeeeaaasseee" he says giving me his best puppy dog eyes.

"Jamie using those eyes and pouty lip on me isn't fair. You know I can't say no to the cute adorable face." I tell him leaning down kissing him repeatedly all over the face making him giggle.

I love hearing his laugh so I start to tickle him a little bit and he squeals and tries getting out of my grasp.

"D-da-daddy stop it!" He says still giggling.

"What's the magic word?" I ask.

"Stevie is a punk" he says with a big smile across his face.

I stop my movements and look at him.

"Jerk" I mumble getting up and getting his ice cream and getting the movie ready.

40's during the war
"Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone at Coney Island?" Bucky asks

"And I threw up?" I say as we look over the edge of the mountain.

"This isn't payback, is it?" He asks.

I look up with a grin. "Now why would I do a thing like that?" Saying back to him.

"Jerk."

"Punk."

We get onto the train and shit goes down fast. I look over and see the side of the train blown out and Bucky falls out.

"BUCKY!" I yell going over to try and grab his hand but I wasn't fast enough and the metal broke causing him to fall.

"STEVE! NOOOO"

"BUCKY!!!" I scream heart broken as I watch the love of my life fall to his death.

Flash backs over

One last hard punch sends the punching bag across the gym and bust open.

"Uhh should I assume is not a good time?" Tony say bringing me out of my thoughts.

I look over and see who I'm assuming are the twins.

"No you are fine Tony. Just caught up in my mind." I say picking up another punching bag and hanging it up.

"Okay, well I wanted you to meet the twins. This is Wanda and Pietro Maximoff" he says.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you both" I say politely sticking my hand out for a hand shake.

"It's nice to meet you when we aren't battle Captain" Wanda says with a soft smile.

"I agree and please call me Steve. Let me go shower and we can go get something to eat and I can get to know you two better. Also Tony I need a moving truck this evening so I can get my stuff out of the apartment." I say to him.

"You got it Cap." He says walking away.

"Alright kids, give me 15 minutes and we can head out!" I tell them.

"Sounds good" they say.

I head up to my room and start cleaning up and getting ready. I don't know why but I feel this strange yet comfortable connection to the twins.

But why?...
