Bucky's Hope (A Bucky Barnes Love Story)

Chapter 34

Hope's POV:

I held my breath as Scott moved the ultrasound wand, both of us watching the monitor, a moment later a foal appeared on the monitor.

"Definietly pregnant, but now let's see if there is another one in there," Scott said, I simply nodded.

Scott moved the wand around again and then we saw it, the second foal.

"Damn."

"I'm sorry, Hope."

"What are the chances for safe delivery?"

"Hope, you and I both know that in this situation it's all a risk to both the mare and the foals."

"I know, Scott, I know, but I can't give up on them, any of them."

Scott sighed, "For now keep her comfortable and stress-free, and light exercises for now, I'm going to go ahead and get some blood samples from her as well, I let you know if anything comes up for either horse."

"Thanks, also how close is she to having them?"

"From the size of both foals, it can be any day so keep a close eye on her and let me know when she goes into labor."

"Alright, thanks again for coming."

"Of course, I'll call you once I've gotten the results."

With that Scott packed his med kit and left, and I took the mare back to her stall.

"Two foals, don't worry, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that you and your babies are safe, alright, now I just need to figure out a name for you," suddenly I heard a whinny next to the mare's stall, I softly laughed, "yes, don't worry, I didn't forget about you, I'll find you the perfect name too," I heard the pony stomp in his stall.

I walked over to the other side of the stall to see the pony, "seems to me like you are going to be a little troublemaker, huh," the pony stomped and snorted, "well you can challenge me all you want but you better be that little sweetheart I saw earlier with Emma," pony nickered this time.

I looked at the pony a little longer as a thought came to mind.

"Challenge, Challenger, huh, what do you think about Challenger as your name?"

The pony neighed and stomped making me smile, "I'll take that as a yes, well Challenger, welcome to the family."

"So you found him a name?"

I looked up and saw James walking over to me.

"Yeah, he's sassy with me but a complete softy for Emma, he's trying to challenge me and he can try but that's not going to work with me."

"Any horse ever given you a problem before?"

"Oh, all the time."

"Even Midnight and Winter?"

"Yes, even them, especially Midnight, he was a little shit when I first got him."

"Think I can hear that story?"

Bucky's POV:

I saw when Scott left so I waited a while for Hope to come out, but after about 15 minutes she still didn't appear so I decided to look for her, I ended up finding her in the back of the barn with the mare and pony, I listened as she talked to the pony and I was surprised with the name choice she gave the pony.
