Bucky. That's all Steve wanted and needed in his life. Before the war, during, and even after, all Steve wanted was his solider. His Bucky.
After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve kept trying to find Bucky to bring him home. Everyone was against this...

"No. Steve no..." I say as tears form in my eyes and my voice cracks.
"I'm so sorry baby. But it's true" he says wrapping his arms around me.
"How? When? Or why?" I cry out.
He pulls back and places a hand on my cheek wiping the tears away.
"Baby do you remember the night your parents found out about us and kicked you out?" He asked me.
I was quiet for a second and started piecing that night together.
"Yeah, I went to get my stuff and to see Becca but they threw my stuff out and wouldn't let me in. What does that have to anything?" I asked.
"When I spoke with Rebecca, she told me she joined hydra because you picked me over family. I tried explaining to her that your father kicked you out but she didn't believe me. I'm so sorry baby." Steve says breaking down. "If you wouldn't have been with me none of this would have happened to you. I'm so sorry." He says.
Shit. He blames himself for another thing gone bad in my life.
"No. Don't you dare do this to yourself Steve. I don't care what my parents thought back in. You were and are the love of my life. I would have picked you over them because you loved me for me. You didn't care about status, you didn't care about money, you just cared about both of us being happy and in love. She chose to join the people we gave our lives up for. Please doll don't blame yourself." I tell him.
"I just don't want you to resent me for causing you so much pain." He whispers.
"Oh Stevie. I could never. Now tell me everything else that has happened." I say to him.
"When we went on the mission to get Rebecca and Gemma, we discovered Rebecca can turn invisible. She shot Steve three times and he lost a lot of blood. When we went to talk to her, we found out she was pregnant and turns out to be Pietro and Wanda's mother. That is why Steve asked them to step out. It is still a sensitive subject for them. Rebecca basically had them so hydra could have extra soldiers. On top of that, we found out who Queen Hydra was." Sam said.
"Who?" I simply say.
"Peggy" Steve says.
"What?" I say louder than expected.
"She is also Gemma's mother." Steve finishes saying.
"Fucking hell." I groan. "Okay so the woman who helped us during the war was secretly plotting our deaths? And our now adoptive children are really my niece and nephew?" I asked.
"Yeah. I know this is a lot to take it." Steve says.
"Hey, doll it's okay. The sooner we take the down the better" I tell him.
"Okay so then moving on to Stephanie, apparently she is my twin. According to Rebecca, your mom was the only one who knew about her. Said that when mom gave birth to us, the doctors told her she had died but in reality it was hydra taking her." Steve said.
"Okay so Tony how did you get this intel?" I asked him.
"JARVIS was the one that got the tip." He says.
"Who did the tip come from?" Steve asked.
"Me" I voice from behind says.
We turn around and see Natasha standing there. I can see Steve's shoulders tense up. I walk up and pull him into my chest to help ground him.
"Natasha I find it very hard to believe that you did this. Especially after all the data I have on you working with hydra." Steve says laced with venom.
"I am working undercover and have been for years or was till recently." She says.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I need to find Stephanie" she says.
"How do you know her?" Steve asked.
"We met in the red room. She was my training and protector. She helped me get out of there and we ran away together. We got engaged and one night we were attacked by other widows. She told me to run and held them back so I could get away. I tried fighting them but they focused on her more than me. I got knocked out and when I woke up, she was gone. I have been trying to find her since. She is more of a ghost story than Bucky was." Nat says.
"Why the secrecy?" Tony asked this time.
"Peggy knows I am trying to find her now. She keeps threatening that to have Stephanie killed if I give any of the information to you guys. So we need to move fast now because I don't know how much longer we have till Peggy makes her move." Nat says.
"Alright well we will gather everything we need and leave in two days." Steve says.
"No. You are not going" I tell him firmly.
Everyone in the room goes silent not knowing what to expect next.
"What? Of course I am going!" Steve says.
"No you are not" I tell him again
He goes to argue and I put my hand up to stop him.
"Steve that is enough. I understand she is your sister and you want to be out there helping. But you are exhausted. And not in a good head space to go. How the rest of this team doesn't see it blows my mind but if you go on that mission like this, you are at a higher risk of injury or something going wrong. Plus I know hydra better than Nat. They are banking on her giving up this information because they know you will run head first into this trying to save your sister instead of thinking about it logically. They do not know I am here and do not know I cannot be controlled anymore. Steve you and I both know you are capable of handling yourself and you have for years because no one has truly been there for you but that ends today. I'm here and I can handle it. When I married you I promised to love and protect you in any way possible and this is me doing that. Mentally, physically and emotionally. I'm not asking I'm telling that you are sitting this one out." I finish saying.
He looks at me with tears in his eyes and walks over to me wrapping his arms around my waist and nesting his head into the curve of my neck.
"Thank you for caring so much. I love you" he says.
"I love you Stevie. I'm just doing what's best for you" I say giving him a soft kiss.
"Well looks like Bucky is running this mission." Sam says with a smirk.
No one seems to have a problem with it.
"Before we go any further with this mission, I need to speak with my sister" I state.
They all nod their heads and Steve looks scared.
"It's okay doll. I know what you are thinking that she is my sister and what if she manipulates me into thinking something and blah blah blah. Well you are my husband and I believe you more than I do her. I got this doll" I say kissing his nose.
He blushes and nods his head.
"I'm here if you need me." He says.
"I want you there just in the shadows." I tell him.
"I can do that. Let go get some lunch then we can go see her" Steve says.
I grab his hand and follow him to the kitchen for some food.
I'm nervous to see my sister again and I don't know how this is going to go.
