Hot Coco Kisses

Paprikas

After dinner the team practically dragged you out of the kitchen to sit down on the couch with a glass of warm peppermint tea in hand while they cleaned up from the meal.
You gave a pleased hum as you took a deep inhale of the aroma of your tea that Loki had prepared for you before taking a sip and placing it gently on the coffee table in front of you.
Carefully watching the way they moved throughout the kitchen and avoiding each other as they put everything away and started washing the dishes. When Peter had completed his task that the team had given him he jumped over the back of the couch and cuddled into your side before closing his eyes with a grin on his face.

Bucky took a moment to watch you and Peter cuddled up on the couch together with an expression of contentment. 
"She's going to be an amazing mom one day," Steve placed a hand on Bucky's shoulder.
"Yeah, She's always wanted to be a mom. I remember when I first started dating her she told me that she wanted to have three kids and a dog and that it wasn't going to change but we could make a compromise if that was too many kids for me." He laughed towards the end thinking about how you suddenly stopped kissing him to tell him your dream about having a big family.
"It's a great thing that you wanted the same thing back then," Steve said, slightly unsure if Bucky still wanted the same things he did back then. Yes, He had grown closer to Bucky in the last couple of months but he could tell Bucky wasn't telling him everything still, at least not like he used to.
"I think that may be one of the few things that never changed about me. I may have forgotten for a long time but it's still my dream and it's one that I'll share with her," he beamed, turning his head slightly to face Steve.
"I'm glad, Pal. You are finally living out the life you always wanted," Steve praised before turning to lean his back on the counter.
"Have you found someone yet?" Bucky asked while leaning down to grab two beers from the mini fridge below the counter of the island.
"Thanks. I haven't, no ones ever been the right fit for me yet." He looked down with a sullen expression on his face.
"She's out there waiting for you. Let her come to you" Bucky reached up and squeezed his shoulder slightly in encouragement.
"I wish she'd hurry up a bit though. It's not like I'm getting any younger here," he tried to joke but the pit in his stomach felt like the weight of the world had been put on him yet again.
"Don't rush it, Love comes on it's on time we have no control over it." Bucky spoke before making his way over towards you and Peter leaving Steve to think about what he had just told him.

When Bucky reached your side, he sat down bringing your body closer to his and landed a kiss on your temple before ruffling Peter's hair as the boy inched his body closer to yours again.
The rest of the team slowly made their way into the room, and slowly started sitting down.  Steve sat down across from you and Bucky and took a sip of his beer thoughtfully.  Tony's phone went off, and he took it out of his pocket and his brow knitted together as his face deepened into a frown. 
"Playtime is over kids, looks like we are needed.  Time to work for a living.  This time it includes you robo cop" Tony looked at Bucky. 
"Wait, me?" Bucky asked in complete surprise, not sure he liked where this conversation was going. 
"The United Nations asked for you to join us on this one.  We need to prove you are not a vigilante, but a member of the team like we might have told them to keep you" Tony winced admitting that he might have added him to the team without his consent.  "They wanted to do a trial, and have you possibly go to jail.  So I did some leg work, and told them you were apart of the Avengers initiative, and under my protection"
"Tony, you didn't?" you demanded.  "I was going to represent him in court" you were shocked, but also knew you should have been in court proceedings by now. 
"With what they had against him, it wasn't looking good Y/N.  I wanted to protect you both.  You've become family to us" Tony gave a pleading look, and you couldn't help but forgive him. 
"Am I on this mission too Mr. Stark?" Peter asked sleepily from under your protective arm. 
"You too kiddo" Tony nodded hesitantly. 
"What's the mission?" Steve asked, turning on his captain's tone. 
"Hydra base in Siberia, it's a weapons base, and intel says they are planning on using it against the UN at their next conference.  We are to go in, retrieve the weapons and take prisoners.  They want as few casualties as possible" Tony explained reading from his phone.
"They want someone to get more intel from, clearly" Steve stated bitterly.
"So, Are we going back to the Compound?" Wanda asked, looking over in your direction.
"No time we have to leave in the morning." Tony continued to look at his phone gathering all of the information before handing it over to Steve to look through.
"I guess you all need an early night. Why don't you all stay here? We have three guest rooms with queen size beds." You offered while standing up from your spot between Bucky and Peter.

The team quickly stood up going to pick where they'd sleep but stayed clear of yours and Bucky's bedroom.
"Come on handsome, let's get to bed." You called placing your hand on Bucky's jaw.
"Let's get this mission over with I suppose." He grunted slightly as he pushed himself off the couch to stand before grabbing your hand and leading you up stairs to your shared room.
He carefully led you through the door of your bedroom when you suddenly spoke.
"I need to talk to you about what we had discussed." You softly spoke as you let go of his hand walking over to the closet to get changed.
"Which conversation?" He asked while grabbing a pair of his black and gray plaid pajama pants.
"The one about adopting Peter with his permission as well as May's of course." you turned to face him with a soft smile.
"Really! You wanna do it? You don't feel pressured or anything, right?" He exclaimed, dropping his pajama pants to grab your hands in his own.
"I mean it. And I was also thinking." You slightly teased him.
"Thinking what, Doll? Come on, don't leave me hanging." He slightly urged.
"After our wedding, why don't we try for a baby again?" You gave his hands a slight squeeze.
"You wanna try again?" He spoke with misty eyes.
"I mean it, Love. We can start planning the wedding as soon as you're back from the mission." You told him lightly while bringing a hand up to wipe the stray tear that had fallen from his eye.
"You have  no idea how happy you've just made me." He lifted your body off of the ground bringing you into a loving kiss as you cupped the sides of his face with your hands.
"You make me happy by just being you." You spoke with a teary smile.
"When should we ask him?" Bucky suddenly paused looking into your eyes.
"How about on his birthday in a month?" You thought for a moment before nodding, assuring yourself that it would be a good idea.
"I think that would be perfect." He spoke as he slowly lowered you back to the ground then picking up his Pajama pants and changing out of his clothing while you went over towards the bathroom to finish your nightly routine.
Shortly after you finished washing your face Bucky came into the bathroom wearing nothing but his Pajama pants leaving his upper body completely bare.
He placed a hand on your hip leaning over to grab his toothbrush while you held your toothbrush and the toothpaste in your hands.

Your routine went the same as always before the both of you made your way over to the bed before pulling the covers back and climbing in searching for each other's warmth from under the covers.  You rested your head on Bucky's chest and reached to hold his hand.
"We're really doing this." He spoke eyes full of wonder.
"We are." You concluded while toying with his fingers.
"We're gonna be parents again." He gave a satisfied sigh at the thought of your future together.
"I'm excited for what's to come for us." you mused glancing up at his face.
"I love you so much." He looked into your eyes before leaning down to kiss you softly on the lips.
"I love you too." You yawned slowly blinking up at him.
"Get some sleep, Baby Doll." He brushed a stray hair away from your face kissing you one last time for the night.
"Good Night, James." You muttered lazily against his lips before sleep consumed you.
