The sun is shining bright and the late September afternoon is not nearly as hot as it has been, it will start cooling off once October comes to town; at least he hopes so, this is southern Indiana, after all.  The sky is bright blue and the clouds float like little puffs of white cotton candy.

Bucky takes a deep breath as he prepares for Sunday dinner with his family, this week has been exhausting, an emotional rollercoaster at best. He'd yet to sell his house but Natasha had set up several walk-throughs with potential buyers. He wasn't hurting for the cash, Bucky had always been a tight ass when it came to spending money. He just really wanted to have his hands washed of the situation before March, he wanted to give all of his attention to his son or daughter.

He had a lot to work through when Savannah left last night after dinner, she'd been craving Chinese, so he ordered just about everything on the menu from the Chinese place uptown. Lin had just about come undone when he picked up the order.

"Where you put all that?", she asked in broken English, charging his debit card.

Bucky chuckled, "I'll have some help, my girl is four months pregnant.", he replied, grabbing the box loaded with take-out boxes. He paused only for a moment when he realized what he had said.

"Lucky girl, you two enjoy!", she smiled, handing Bucky his card.

He wasn't exactly sure when he had started to think of her as my girl, it was dangerous to think that way. He didn't want to catch feelings for the mother of his child when she clearly didn't feel the same way about him, he had told himself they were scratching an itch; she was already pregnant, so what harm could it cause? As it turns out, it could cause a lot of harm, he'd bared his soul to her on a few occasions, lying in bed or on the couch after an athletic round of sex. She never looked at him with that look of pity like so many had done before, she wasn't weirded out by the many scars littering his body. She looked at him in awe like he had just climbed the world's tallest mountain, she kissed and licked at his scars, worshiping every inch of him.

Bucky sighed, he was falling in love with Savannah Cassidy and things were entering the danger zone. This could go one of two ways, she could return his feelings and they make a go of raising their child together, or she could not feel the same way and that would hurt, but he would get over what he had to for his child. But the thought of potently watching her fall in love with another man, bringing that man into her life, their child's life, it made him sick.

Taking a deep breath, Bucky grabbed the little black photo album Nat had bought him for the ultrasound photos. They had agreed while kissing at the back door last night that Bucky would tell his parents and sister, he trusted them to keep this between the immediate family for now.

He looked down at the latest scan, his thumb rubbing over the image of his child. "Daddy is going to do whatever he can to make you and your mommy happy, Munchkin.", he whispers.
