She's not what she seems to be. Rain is a quite shy librarian with a dark secret and past she is trying to out run.
Steve Rogers and his partner James "Bucky" Barnes run everything from Brooklyn to Queens. You can't pick a pocket without paying dues...
Rain tried on the 100th dress of the day, "I look like a lace factory blew up." Wanda tried to hide a smile, "It's very..." Sara Rogers clicked her tongue, "It's just not you." Nat sipped her champagne, "That's the truth." Rain looked up, "I don't understand why the fashion is to hide my baby belly." Winnie Barnes [Bucky's mother] stood and circled, "I agree. You aren't out there trying to flaunt it, but trying to bury it under all this fabric... [sigh] I know a great little designer shop. Let's check there." 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Nat grinned, "I should have remembered this shop." The five women entered BB and were greeted with a smile by Tomako, "Hello again!" Winnie Barnes was a regular customer of Tomako's and Andrew's, "I love each piece they ever made me." Rain explained what she was looking for. Andrew mused, "Not that you wouldn't stun in white, but how would you feel about a darker color?" Rain smiled, "I could get behind a dark blue." Andrew grinned, "Good, give me 2 seconds." Coming back Andrew gave her a dress to try on. Coming out everyone was in awe. Sara wiped her eyes, "Rain... You look beautiful."

Rain looked in the mirror, "I feel like it. I love it." Tomako hugged Andrew, "My boy knows his stuff." 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 A few weeks later Rain stood in her room fixing Matt's tie, "You look handsome Mattie." Matt smiled, "Of course I do." He caught her hand, "Thank you for asking me to walk you down the aisle today. I am very happy you found your happily after." Rain blinked away a few tears, "If you make me cry Wanda and will kick your ass for ruining my make-up." Matt laughed, "2 beautiful ladies? You won't hear me complain." Rain felt a tightening around her belly and back that was hard to breathe through for a moment, "I think the baby is excited too." Matt stepped forward, "Rainy?" Rain laughed, "I'm fine just nervous." Foggy knocked on the door, "Are you... Oh wow Rain you look amazing." Foggy came in and hugged his friend, "I can't believe you're getting married!" Foggy hugged her again, "They're ready for you." Rain squeezed his hand, "Foggy thanks for arranging things and for being a man of honor for me." Foggy smiled, "Well it was just nice to be asked. Besides it's not often I get to have the pretty ladies on my arm." Stepping into the hall Foggy lead them to the stairs where Nat and Wanda waited. Wanda handed Rain her bouquet, "You look stunning." Nat kissed her cheek, "Ready girl?" Rain nodded and the bridal party began their decent." 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 MEANWHILE
Sara and Winnie fussed over their sons. "Steve your father would be so proud of you." Sara straightened his bow tie. Steve blushed, "Thanks Ma." Winnie smiled at Bucky, "You've done so well James. You make me proud." Bucky blushed, "Mom..." Winnie laughed, "Don't mom me. You worked hard to get this far. You put your sister through nursing school and set me up nicely in my old age. You deserve this son." Bucky hugged his mother, "Thanks mom." Sara hugged him, "James, She's right. And I couldn't be happier to welcome you semi officially to the family." Bucky blushed as Steve laughed, "Are you ready brother?" Bucky shook his head, "Shudda up punk." Steve hugged him, "Jerk." 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Ben Parker stood at the front of the room to officiate, "Ladies and gentlemen we gather today to honor true love. Now... I am no rabbi or priest, but I do know a thing or 2 about love...." Rain stood next to Matt waiting to be given to Steve and Bucky when another sharp pain hit her. Matt turned his head worried. Rain took a breath and passed it off as nerves. Ben looked to Rain and Matt, "Who brings the bride to be wed today?" Matt handed Rain's hand to Bucky and answered, "As her oldest friend I do." Bucky pulled Rain in between him and Steve. Steve took Rain's other hand, "You look beautiful." Rain smiled, "You do too." She looked to Bucky, "You do to." Ben went on with the vows when another sharp pain went through Rain's body this time making her cry out and squeeze both hands of Steve and Bucky. Steve faced Rain, "Angel are you ok?" Matt spoke up, "Stubborn girl; that's at least her 3rd pain in about an hour." Bruce made his way to the front of the room, "How far apart?" Matt sighed, "10 minutes or so." Bucky looked worried as Rain doubled over, "Is everything ok?" Rain hunched over, "I... Think my water just broke."
