Treat you Better

Chapter 16

It's been 3 months since the gender reveal. I would be giving birth any minute. Bucky and I have finished the nursery for our baby girl. I was currently sitting in the nursery, sitting there with my hand on my belly. Not long after that, maybe 30-35 minutes later, Bucky and I were on our way to the hospital so that I could give birth. We were after about another 30 minutes. I was now in the labor and delivery room, in labor. I was in labor for about 15 hours, before I finally gave birth to Gracie. That's what Bucky and I had decided on naming her. Bucky was by my side for 15 hours, holding my hand, allowing me to squeeze it when I needed to. I was just asleep in the hospital since I was absolutely exhausted. It was the next day when I woke up and I saw Bucky sitting in a chair, asleep with Gracie laying on his chest. It was an adorable sight to see. I got up from the bed and walked over to Bucky and gave him a kiss on the forehead before I quietly lifted Gracie from him. As I took Gracie back over to the bed, I fluttered her eyes open. She had Bucky's Blue eyes, for the little fuzz on the top of her head, it was the color of my hair, auburn. She made some baby cooing noises that were adorable.

After a few more hours, Nat and Tony came to visit. Bucky was sitting in a chair beside my bed, his hand holding mine. Nat was currently holding Gracie and Stas was sitting right beside her. Tony was on the other side of me. Bucky was actually half asleep.

"How are you feeling, delia?" Tony asks me.

"I feel fine. Gracie is such an adorable little girl." I commented.

"Yeah, well you're her mom." Nat chuckled from across the room. I playfully rolled my eyes. Stas climbed into my hospital bed.

"Aunty Delia, is Gracie my cousin?" Stas asked me. I looked down at Stas then at Tony, before looking back down at her after Tony nodded his head at me.

"Yeah sweetie, Gracie will be your cousin. Not by blood, but she will be." I told her. I brushed her hair back away from her face. Tony, Stas and Nat were there for a few more hours. Later that day when Bucky was fully rested, we returned home with Gracie. Right now, she was asleep while Bucky and I relaxed on the couch. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." I told Bucky as I got up from the couch and walked to the door. I opened it to be met by... Steve. What the hell was he doing here? And how the hell did he find out where we live?

"Who is it, Doll?" I hear Bucky's voice ask me from the living room. I don't answer Bucky, I was in too much shock to say anything. I notice Steve's eyes travel down to my hand.

"I..Is that a wedding ring?" Steve asks me, but not to the point where Bucky can hear.

"Yes. Now what are you doing here?" I ask, clearly annoyed and clearly don't want to talk to him. It was silent between the two of us, the only noise was coming from the tv in the living room. A few seconds later, Bucky walked over.

"Steve? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Wait, how did you even find out where we live?" Bucky added. Steve didn't say anything.

"I know I've already apologized to you, Delia, but I want to apologize again." He began, "I'm sorry for all the pain I put you though, being 'drunk' was no excuse to cheat on you. I know it was wrong of me to use that as an excuse, knowing that I can't get drunk. I'm so so sorry." Steve continued. I just stared at him.

"Steve, I was really hurt. You knew when you asked me out that I had bad luck in relationships and you promised that you'd never hurt me, and you broke your promise. I can never forgive you." I tell him, tears are threatening to spill from my eyes. Bucky throws his arm over my shoulder, pulling me into him.

"Steve, just leave." I told him before walking away, I went to Gracie's room to see that she was awake. I picked her up and came back out to see if Steve left, unfortunately he didn't. I was holding Gracie on my hip, she was playing with my necklace.

"Steve, I asked you to leave." I tell him, "I will call the cops on you for trespassing if you don't leave."

He nodded.

"Yeah, of course. I'm sorry again, Delia." he apologized again before leaving. I walked to the couch and sat down while holding Gracie.

A/N- There will be one more part, which is the epilogue.
