Bucky's Hope (A Bucky Barnes Love Story)

Chapter 64

Hope's POV:

It was time, I had put it off long enough and I couldn't do it any longer. It was morning and as always I was one of the first ones up along with Emma, we were in the kitchen as I made breakfast when Dad walked.

"Hey, you're up early," he said looking at me and and Emma.

I only gave him a look and turned my attention back to Emma's breakfast.

"Yeah, okay that was a dumb statement."

I laughed, "I'll say, you would think after all these months living here and knowing what I do, you would remember that I'm always up at the crack of dawn, as for little miss over here, seems to be going through sleep regression for the last few days."

"Oh wow, I sure don't miss it, it was a nightmare when that happened with both you and Morgan."

"Sorry about that, but also I'm worried if this has anything to do with all the changes that have happened to her."

"I doubt that-" Dad started to say but I cut him off.

"How can't it, she's lost her parents, and she hasn't seen her old home since before the accident, it's a lot for her to take in, Dad."

"Breathe Hope, and it's okay, this a normal thing that happens so don't worry too much, Emma will get back into a routine soon, it will take some time but she will be okay, you both will," Dad said trying to reassure me.

"Dad, am I cut out to even be a Mom?"

"Where is this coming from, Hope?"

"I don't know, half the time I feel like I'm failing Emma, and the other half wonders if I'm doing this right?"

"Doing what right?"

"Parenting, being the mom that Emma needs."

"Hope, let's get one thing straight, alright, never doubt yourself, you are an amazing young woman whom I have been so proud of since the moment you were laid in my arms, what you have done taking in this little innocent Angel, I have no words except that I am beyond proud of you. And this last month and a half you have been doing amazing so don't doubt yourself, and if you look into that little girl's face the only thing you will see is unconditional love and acceptance, and it's okay to be scared but just remember that you are not alone in this."

I tightly hugged Dad, "Thank you, Dad, and just so you know, you have been the greatest Dad to me and Morgan, we both love you so much and I know that Grandpa Howard and Grandma Maria are so proud of you too."

"Thank you, sweetheart."

"No need for thanks when I'm telling the truth."

"Alright then, what are the plans for today?" Dad asked changing the subject quickly.

I huffed out a breath, "I've been putting it off long enough so I decided to go and start cleaning out and packing up their house."

"Ah, do you want some help or company?"

"Both would be great."

"Then that settles that, how about after you're done with you're morning work, Emma can stay here with your mother and Morgan, and then the team and I will come with you to help out?" Dad asks.

"Sure thing."

Bucky's POV:

We arrived at Kaitlyn and Daniel's house to help out with packing and clearing things away. Natasha and Wanda stayed with Hope at the house while the guys and I left to get packing supplies.

When we got back, Nat and Wanda were in the kitchen cleaning it out.

"Where's Hope?" I asked the girls.
