Sebastian Stan Imagines

- Rest -

You sigh, looking up at the clock and spotting the time.

1:56 am

"Jesus baby, why aren't you sleeping?" You whisper to the six month old in your arms as you bounce up and down a little to rock the baby to sleep.

You had managed to put her down at around eight, but she woke herself up at midnight, and now you've been trying to get her to sleep for over an hour.

You've tried everything, from a bottle of milk to watching her favorite movie to help her relax, but nothing has worked.

And you blame Bucky. He's usually the person to put her asleep, and she easily goes down in his arms. When it's you, she decides to stay up. But bucky is away on a mission right now, so you have to attempt to get her to sleep, and so far, it's going shit.

What hasn't helped was that you've been running around work all day, getting more jobs done than you can count and when you finally thought you had a chance to relax and get some sleep, your baby decides to wake you up crying.

"C'mon Leiah, sleep for Mama." You whisper.

The baby just smiles at you, not even looking close to being tired, and you look up at the roof in annoyance.

"Oh my god." You whine quietly before you feel a pair of strong arms wrap around you, one colder than the other.

You flinch lightly before melting intot he familiar touch, sighing slightly as small kisses are being placed down your neck, sending a chill down your spine.

"Hey, soldier." You smile lightly, and you feel Bucky smile against your skin.

"Hey, doll. What are you still doing up?" He whispers against your ear before smiling down at the baby in your arms.

"This little one doesn't want to sleep." You mutter, and Bucky nods, holding his mouth open in an O shape to show he understands.

"Here, give her to me, and you go rest. Because you look exhausted, doll." He says, and you no turning to him and placing Leiah in his arms.

You watch as Bucky smiles brightly down at the baby girl in his hands, placing a small kiss on her forehead before looking back at you and leaning forward, pecking your lips.

"Rest, love. I'll join you soon." He whispers, and you nod, staring into his blue eyes for a few more seconds before making your way back to the bed, collapsing onto the mattress and snuggling into the blankets.

You watch silently as Bucky rocks the baby in front of you, whispering a small song his mother used to sing to him when he was a child.

But that's the last thing you see before you fall asleep.

A few minutes later, Bucky smiles down at his now sleeping daughter before slowly laying her down in her cot, placing one last kiss on the girls forehead.

"Night night, little leiah." He whispers before quietly turning the starry night light on and walking over to his own bed, the soft sound of the night lights lullaby filling the room.

Bucky quietly removes his clothing, keeping on his underwear before pulling on some loose shorts and hopping into the bed, wasting no time before wrapping his arms around you and placing a kiss onto your head as you cuddle into his chest with a small smile.

"Goodnight Y/n, I love you." He whispers before falling asleep himself.
