Treat you Better

Chapter 14

It was about 5 weeks later, so basically a month and a week after our honeymoon. Recently I've been feeling a little sick. I've even been having weird cravings. So I decided to go to Bruce and see what it was about. I didn't tell Bucky about it while he was with Sam on a mission. I didn't want him to worry. I arrived at a small clinic that Bruce opened.

"Hey Delia, what brings you here?" Bruce asked as he saw me walk in.

"I think I may be pregnant." I tell him.

"Well okay, lets run some tests." Bruce stated.

"Does Bucky know you're here?" He asked.

"No. He's on a mission and I didn't want him to worry." I answered. Bruce then started the tests.

"Delia...i have the results back." He tells me, walking into the room with something in his hand.

"So what is it?" I asked, scared but excited.

"You're pregnant, Delia." He tells me. I sat there not knowing what to say or do.

"You're a month along." He adds.

"Thanks Bruce." I spoke.

"Of course, Delia." He smiled. I left the clinic and returned to our apartment. Alpine came to me when I opened the door. She rubbed against my leg. I crouched down and picked her up. I walked over to the couch and sat down, turning the tv onto something random. I soon fell asleep. I woke up to a weight on my shoulder. I looked over to see Bucky, his head leaning against my shoulder. Some flowers were in his hand, some other things as well.

"Bucky?" I asked, softly. He wasn't supposed to be back until tomorrow. He rubbed his eyes, turning to face me.

"Hey sweetheart, I didn't want to wake you." He spoke, his voice hoarse from being asleep.

"I thought you weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow." I stated, confused.

"Yeah, but we finished the mission early." He smiled, leaning over and kissing me.

"Now, I get to see my favorite girl." He added, making me smile.

"Get up here then, dummy." I spoke.

"Or we go and lay down in our bed instead?" He suggests.

"That sounds more comfortable, but I'm not getting up." I replied.

"That's fine. I'll carry you." He spoke, lifting me and alpine off the couch. He went to our bedroom, he laid me down and then alpine went down to the floor.

Later on, I woke up to see Bucky laying beside me, fast asleep. I smiled at my husband. I leaned over and kissed his forehead before slipping out of bed. I looked at the time to see it was nearly time for us to eat dinner. I began to cook Bucky and I something. I plan on telling him the news over dinner so I made his favorite. I also invited Tony, Nat and Stas over. I was finishing the food, I felt arms wrap around me.

"Hey sweetie." he hummed, pulling me against him.

"Hi. Help me set the table." I told him.

"Alright." he replied, pulling away from me. He set the table. I started taking food to the table. I heard a knock on the door.

"Bucky, open the door, please!" I called out to him as I ran to the room, so that I could change out of the messy clothes, since food had fallen onto my shirt. I changed my shirt and returned to the dining room.

"Hey Delia!" Nat smiled.

"Hey Nat." I smiled back at her.

"You texted me saying that you had something to tell us." Tony uttered as we all sat down.

"Yeah. I did." I spoke, pouring myself some Tea.

"So what is it?" Tony asks.

"Okay, so I'm pregnant." I announce. Bucky turns to me.

"Your what?" Bucky asked, taking my hand in his.

"I'm pregnant, buck." I repeated, adding his name at the end. I look back at Nat and Tony.

"Wow Deila. That's great." Tony uttered. We began to eat. It was silent until Bucky broke the silence.

"When did you find out?" he asked.

"This morning. I went to Bruce's clinic." I answered. Bucky smiled and rubbed his hand up and down my thigh in a loving way. After Tony, Nat and Stas left Bucky and I were on the couch. He looked down at me.

"I was thinking about something and now that you're pregnant, I think we should actually do it." he tells me. I looked up at him from my position. My head was on his lap as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"What is it, Dragul meu?" I asked, saying a pet name in my first language.

"I was thinking that we would move into an actual house instead of living in this apartment and one of us could retire," he tells me.

"I suppose." I started as I began to sit up.

"We can get a house in the area where Tony and Nat live." he continues. I move into his lap.

"I was thinking of retiring soon anyway. I barely go on missions anymore." I spoke. He traced patterns on my lower back.

"I'll get your laptop and we can look at houses in that area." He told me as he got up and grabbed my laptop out of our room. He sat back down. Alpine was in my lap. Bucky opened up a website, looking at house's in that area. We spent about an hour and a half looking.
