The ride back to their house was quiet. Bailey didn't know how to process all of the big emotions that seemed to flow through her small body.
"Bucky. Am I going to stay with you?" She asked as she peered over at him, a sickened expression on her face. Fearing that he might say no.
He smiled at her as he tried to think of ways to explain the current situation. "You are coming home, with me. You are legally under our care. We have adopted you, taken you from a bad situation."
Bailey beamed as she looked at him, tears filling the spaces in her eyes. "Thank you" she whispered as she sniffled.
Bucky reached over and held her little hand, smiling as they neared closer to their house. He could feel the excitement welling in his chest.
"Okay, now. Sara, or Ms. Rogers doesn't know you are gonna be here. So, I'm gonna introduce you to some of my friends, they are gonna help you get settled."
She nods as she looks at the house, and the two people standing on the front porch. Bucky saw her nerves grow on her face as she mentally tucked herself into a corner.
"Hey, no one is gonna hurt you here." He said, trying to make her comfortable. "You are safe."
She nodded, looking around as Bucky stepped out of the truck. He waved Nat and Steve over, smiling at them as they practically ran to the truck.
"She's really nervous. So don't go all Steve on her okay. We have to be patient." Bucky said, mainly talking to Steve.
"What does that mean?" Steve asked, holding his chest as if he was shocked.
Natasha laughed as she moved past the two men and opened the passenger side door. "Hi sweetheart, I'm Nat. Would you like to come with me? Come see your new room?" Nat asked as Bailey looked to Bucky for some sort of assurance.
Bucky nodded at her, smiling softly. Bailey turned her attention to Nat and smiled, unbuckling herself before putting her arms around Nats' neck. Steve watched as the fragile child held on tightly to her as she walked them to the house.
"She's a tiny thing. I can see why Sara was so concerned." Steve said as they walked towards the house.
Bucky just nodded as they walked up the stairs, stopping in the doorway of Baileys room. They watched as she sat on the bed, a huge smile spread through her cheeks.
"What ya think?" Steve asked as he walked in. "I'm your Uncle Steve. It's so nice to finally meet you."
She smiled as she held out her hand. "I'm Bailey, it's nice to meet you Uncle Steve."
Bucky smiled and walked down the stairs, leaving them with Bailey while he planned the rest of the evening. He listened as Baileys giggles filled the air, a smile sneaking up on his face.
