My boyfriend and I were going to my best friend's pregnancy appointment because this time she got to know the gender and I wanted to be there for it. We took a seat in the chairs beside the hospital bed. Well Steve sat in the chair and I sat on his lap. The doctor came back with the results. What I was about to hear would be breaking my heart.
"Congrats, Mr.Rogers and Ms.Whitlock, you'll be having a healthy baby boy." The doctor said, Once she said that, I got off of Steve's lap in an instant. I grabbed Steve's wrist and pulled him out of the room and out of the hospital. Once we were outside, I pushed him into the wall.
"DID YOU SERIOUSLY GET MY BEST FRIEND PREGNANT, STEVE?!" I yell at him.
"Love, listen to me, please." He says, "We were drunk, it was an accident."
"No, Steve. I'm over it. I've given you enough chances, being drunk isn't a fucking excuse. We're over." I say to him, slapping him across the face.
"Oh and you can find your own way back to the compound, and have fun with your new girlfriend." I say, throwing the promise ring he gave me at his chest.
"Nat was right, I should never have dated you." I spat before walking off to my car. I got in and drove off, I didn't go to the compound but I went to my best friend's apartment to tell her boyfriend. I knocked on the door. Moments later, He opened the door.
"Delia? What are you doing here?" Charlie's boyfriend asks.
"Well, I needed to tell you that you're not the father of your girlfriend's child, but the father is Steve, my now ex-boyfriend." I say. His eyes widen, it takes him a minute to process it.
"Thank you, Delia. I appreciate you telling me." He says, before he shuts the door. I turn around and leave the apartment complex and get back into my car. I drive back to the compound. When I walked by the common room, Nat was sitting on the couch.
"Delia, where's Steve?" My other best friend, Natasha, asks me.
"Not here obviously." I say, coldly. She noticed there was something wrong so she got up from the couch and stopped me.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
"Nothing." I say, she looks down at my hands and sees that the promise ring is gone.
"Delia. I know something is wrong. Tell me." She says. I look at the floor debating whether I tell her or not. I look back at her green eyes.
"Okay fine. I found out that Steve cheated on me with Charlie and got her pregnant." I say. She doesn't say anything but just pulls me into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry he did that, he didn't deserve you." She says, stroking my hair. I started to cry while I was hugging her.
"de ce eu? de ce mi se întâmplă mereu asta? (why me? why does this always happen to me?)" I mumbled out while crying, she didn't say anything but just continued to comfort me.
"You need a vacation." Nat tells me as she pulls away from the hug.
"What about-" I begin to say before she cuts me off.
"We'll be fine, you need a vacation. You can go to Wakanda, we know some trustable people there." She says. I nod, knowing there's no way I'll be able to get out of it.
"Go pack, I'll let t'challa know that you'll be coming." She says. I nod and head up to my room. I start packing some clothes. As I'm packing, I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in." I yell to the person at my door. Nat opens my door and comes in. She helps me finish packing the clothes.
"T'challa said that you can stay for 2 months at the most." She tells me, zipping up the bag.
"Thanks Nat." I say. She smiles slightly.
"Of course. You need it." She says. I grab my phone, wallet and a few other things off my dresser and nightstand before leaving my bedroom with Nat. We head to the quinjet. Nat goes up to the pilot seat and starts it up. I take a seat, she pulls up into the air and starts flying towards wakanda.

After a few hours, we made it to wakanda. Nat woke me up as I had fallen asleep.
"Delia, we're here. Wake up." She says, nudging me. I groan and sit up, rubbing my eyes. I throw my hair into a bun. I got up off the bench that I was asleep on and grabbed my bag and walked down the back of the quinjet to be met with the one and only King T'challa and Princess Shuri, they were kind enough to let me stay in the castle during my 2 month vacation. Shuri came up to me.
"Hi Delia, I've been told a lot about you." She says. She puts her arm around my shoulder as she leads me inside and to a bedroom. Nat stayed back to talk to T'challa about something.
"Don't mention anything about the avengers or anything especially Steve to her, she really needs a break." She tells him.
"Yes of course, Miss Romanoff." He replies. She slightly smiles at him and goes back into the quinjet and goes back to New york. The entire team knew I was on vacation except Steve. T'challa comes inside to find where Shuri and I are. She's giving me a tour of everything and where I'm allowed to go and where I'm not allowed to go. After the hour-long tour of the castle, she asked me if I wanted to come with her to check on someone. I of course agreed. We walked from the castle to an area on the far side of Wakanda. Once we got over there, a man with black hair walked out of a tent thingy.
"How are you feeling, James?" She asked him. He looked at her and he was about to reply to her but then he saw me.
"Uh..Shuri, who's this?" He asked, referring to me. I recognized the man as Steve's best friend from the 40s.
"You don't recognize me, Barnes? You attempted to beat my ass, before I decided to help you." I say, sarcasm lacing my voice.
"Wait, Delia? What are you doing here?" He asked me.
"A little vacation, y'know. Nat said I needed it, so yeah." I said. He nodded.
"So where's Steve?" He asked me. My face went pale at remembrance of finding out that Steve got another woman pregnant, my best friend of all people.
"Delia..? Did I say something?" He asks. I stay silent, not wanting to cry. He looks at Shuri. She leads me away for a second before stepping back to him.
"Shuri...? Did I say something wrong?" He asks her.
"You didn't know, so don't be sorry. Steve cheated on her, which resulted in him getting another woman pregnant. Miss Romanoff informed us before Delia was brought here. Don't mention anything about him or avengers to her, she needs a break from it." Shuri explains to him. She walks back over to me and leads me back over. Bucky has an apologetic look on his face. I look at Shuri and say, "Shuri, can I talk to her alone?"
She nods and walks away, not too far though. Bucky then motions to the seat outside of his tent thingy. I take a seat and he sits on the other.
"I'm sorry Steve did what he did. You didn't deserve that." Bucky says.
"He promised he would never do that, I trusted him." I say, putting my face in my hands.
"I never thought he would do that but, here we are." He says, putting his hand on my shoulder. I nod. We just talked for awhile, he didn't mention Steve or even the avengers once throughout the entire conversation. It was getting late so Shuri walked back over.
"Hey Delia, it's getting late, we should head back to the castle." Shuri says. I nod and stand up and walk away with Shuri. As I walked away, Bucky mumbled something but I didn't hear.
"I promise to treat you better whenever I have the chance to do so." Bucky mutters under his breath. Shuri and I make it back to the castle, I go to my bedroom that they're letting me stay in and change into my pajamas and lay down and get comfortable before falling asleep.
