Lovers to Parents (Bucky x reader)

Cake tasting

As soon as you were done breakfast you found yourself in the kitchen to start preparing the bread that everyone seemed to prefer when you cooked. You knew you didn't have much time to do it, so you tried to make quick work of it. Bucky came in and offered to help, so you started asking him to grab your ingredients out of the cupboard while you made your way around the room. You heard the doorbell ring just as you were starting to mix them and huffed a little to yourself.
"I got it," Happy called from down the hallway.
"Come on, we should probably do the taste testing in the dining room" Bucky put his hand in the small of your back and you both went towards the dining room. Bucky brought you a bottle of water, and grabbed himself one as well. You stood waiting for a few minutes when Happy came walking in with a woman who was a little taller than you, with long brown hair and bright green eyes. Both her and Happy were carrying a large box each, and you looked on curiously as they set them down on the table.
"Hi there! You must be Y/N and Bucky" she held out her hand and you quickly took it. "I'm Anna, the owner of Anna bakes" she grinned and shook both your hand and then Bucky's. She didn't stare at Bucky's arm, but you saw her take a quick double take before her gaze went straight to your faces. Cloud came into the room and put his body between you and Anna, and you heard Melody calling him a worry wart, but she went and sat on Bucky's feet.
"Pepper and Tony recommended you, they gave you a lot of praise" you smiled warmly at her.
"These must be some of your wolves" she looked down at Cloud and reached out a hand for him to sniff her. He sniffed her before he gave her a timid look and then he looked up at you. You knew that Tony had all the pups in the lab with him, including Blue and you silently hoped that Blue would stay in there for now. He had a tendency to be a ball of energy, and you wanted to keep the amount of fur on your clothes to a minimum.
"Yes, this is Cloud and Melody" Bucky offered, not missing a beat.
"They are beautiful" she cooed and held out her hand to Melody who gave her hand a full lick after taking a sniff. You knew this was their seal of approval. "Where's the black one?" she asked, raising her eyebrow. "I saw some of them on the news," she admitted.
"Oh Jasper? He's with his mate and the pups in Tony's lab" you answered her.
"How many wolves do you have, if you don't mind me asking?" she asked quickly and you hesitated to count them in your head.
"Personally I have nine at the moment" you flushed a little. "There's more than that in the compound though"
"You know, I make animal treats too on the side" she started hinting.
"Would you be willing to take on an extra order for the wedding?" Bucky asked quickly, while he whipped out his phone and started texting Tony he didn't need to look.
"Sure, how many treats would you need for the wedding?" she asked a little curiously.
"Fifty should do it" you didn't have to think about it. You wanted them to have extra.
"What flavor?" she asked, taking a notebook out of her purse and started writing the details down while Bucky finished sending off his text message.
"Peanut butter," Cloud whispered to you.
"Peanut butter" you relayed the decision.
"Done, I'll also make pumpkin, I'll put a few extra of the pumpkin in case they don't like the peanut butter" she wrote it down and put down her book. "Grab a seat" she gestured for you both to sit down. You found she had a lot of energy and just loved it.
"We have an idea for the cake" Bucky pulled your phone out of your pocket and quickly opened it up, already knowing the passcode. He pulled up the pictures and she took the phone and started looking at it with rapt attention.
"How many tiers of a cake do you want?" she asked as she swiped through the pictures.
"At least four? And some cupcakes" you bit your bottom lip unsurely. "Can you do it?"
"Of course I can, we will have to go with a lighter colored frosting so I can dye it" she hummed to herself as she looked at the pictures. "Or I could always..." she trailed off and grabbed her notebook and started writing down what you and Bucky were looking for. "Can I send myself these pictures?" she asked after a moment. You nodded and you saw her text message them to herself. She went back to taking notes again, seeming immersed in her task. She finished what she was doing, and she took a seat beside you, and she opened the boxes and you saw several slices of cake and icing on them, and in some cases the icing was on the side in a little cup and some of the cake was not iced. Your mouth was watering at all the deliciousness in front of you. She opened up the next box and you saw more cakes. She took out a few disposable forks and pulled out the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting first. She handed both you and Bucky the forks and the cake.
"Try this one first," she offered. You nodded and quickly took a bite. It was perfectly moist, but not what you wanted. The vanilla frosting was good, but you would almost prefer it on its own.
"The frosting is good, it's a great cake, but not what we are looking for" Bucky shook his head, and you nodded in quick agreement. You tried a few different flavors including chocolate, red velvet, almond, and peach. You and Bucky both shared a look at the chocolate one, and you knew that was the winner. You tried a few different icings, but to keep with the original idea, you agreed on the vanilla buttercream icing.
"When's the wedding?" she stopped and asked as she was packing up. You and Bucky had eaten all of the cake she had brought, so she was only bringing a few tubs of icing back with her in the now empty boxes.
"Three weeks" Bucky put his arm around your shoulders and pulled you in a bit.
"Text me the exact date, or call me. I'm open to both" she gave a bright smile.
"We can do that" you grabbed your phone and texted her the exact date. She nodded as her phone went off and she looked at it.
"You'll have to keep it in the fridge, but I'll have it done the day before. Tony said something about he would have someone pick it up?" she asked curiously.
"We wouldn't want to put you out to drop it off" you shook your head.
"Nonsense, it's part of the service. I'll bring it here so I know it arrives safe and sound" she grabbed her boxes.
"I'll see you out" Bucky stood up, giving you a kiss on the side of your head first.
"Thank you" you sighed and stood up to shake Anna's hand before Bucky led her out.

You went back into the kitchen and started working away at making the bread again, a little excited that the cake was going to be made on time for the wedding. You were in the middle of kneading the mixture of bread when you felt a pair of arms encircling you and you could smell pine and you leaned back, relaxing in the embrace.
"What have you got going there, doll?" Bucky whispered in your ear.
"Bread" you hummed as he kissed the side of your neck.
"The wedding is creeping up fast" he continued kissing you on the side of your neck while you kept up with kneading the bread.
"It feels almost too fast," you sighed softly.
"When is your mama coming?" he paused his kisses and rested his chin on your shoulder, seeming content to be watching you.
"She said a few days before, but that could mean a week" you started separating the bread and putting it to raise.
"What's next?" he asked as you started to move away to continue with your tasks.
"Pie crust, my grumpy Sargaent needs his pie, and we have lots of apples" you pointed to the overflowing bag on the counter. "I might also make some cake and cookies" you mused to yourself.
"One thing at a time, doll. What am I grabbing?" He pulled away and headed to the counter.
"More flour" you gave a soft smile.
Bucky was quick with taking directions as you started on the pie crusts. He even helped you line the pie pans and roll out the thin pastry dough. You worked in tandem beside one another, only leaving the kitchen when Happy had something delivered for lunch. Bucky didn't miss a beat and grabbed the jar of pickles out of the fridge before he even came to the table.
After lunch, Bucky still seemed like he was intent on helping you no matter what task you were working at. You ended up making cookies, but held off on making the cake since you had both oven's cooking. He helped you with the rosemary chicken, the garlic mashed potatoes and the dill carrots for the main meal. He seemed content as long as his hands were busy. You had him working a long time on the mashed potatoes, not wanting any lumps in the potatoes themselves. He took his mission in stride and smiled proudly when you told him he had done an excellent job. Once he was done with his task, he went to set the table and you thought maybe you had made too much. You had made over ten pies, and nearly two hundred cookies. You took two of the pies and put them aside for Clint in one of the cake boxes the chef had in the kitchen for you.
When Bucky came back in after setting the table and stopped to look at you, you couldn't help but giggle.
"What is it?" he asked with an amused smile.
"You are so full of flour, and food" you gestured to him.
"So are you, doll" he chuckled and you looked down.
"We had better go get changed" you let out a laugh. Bucky came towards you and pulled on your hand and pulled you close. Your laughter quickly died down as you looked in his eyes that were studying you with such hunger you felt like your voice was caught in your throat.
"I'm helping you change," he whispered.
"We don't have enough time for what you are looking for" you reminded him, since the food was already starting to get cold.
"One kiss" he asked and you closed the distance between the two of you. You brought your hand up to toy in his hair as you pulled him in a little closer and hummed against his lips. He quickly deepened the kiss and his hands traveled up and down your back. You pulled back from the kiss that nearly made your toes curl, and you gave him a brief peck on the lips.
"Thank you for helping me today," you whispered to him.
"I love just spending time with you" he whispered back. "Now let's go get changed before everyone figures out the food is ready"
