Lovers to Parents (Bucky x reader)

Melody

By the time you made it home, Bucky was in quite a state in front of the house watching the woods worriedly with Clint and Steve by his side, rubbing his back.
"Baby!" Bucky jumped up and ran to you and swept you off of your feet and kissed you hard on the forehead. "Are you okay? Why were you gone so long? Your cheeks are red" he looked you over.
"Sweetheart, it's snowing. It's cold. Of course my cheeks are red. I also rushed back here because you called sounding so frantic" you giggled. "I'm okay, you can put me down" you told him gently.
"I'll put you down inside" he said, his face distorted in determination.
"Hi papa Clint, hi Stevie" you said as Bucky started marching towards the house.
"Oh I love it when he goes Alpha" Melody said to Snow.
"Tell me about it. But he also melts like snow in the springtime when she wants him to" Snow replied back. "All bark, and no bite for our Luna" Snow giggled.
"Hi Songbird, we stopped by but no one was home so we decided to wait outside and this one came home and went frantic" Clint chuckled.
"You should text next time" Steve gave a little sass.
"No, she should wait for me. She's carrying our baby, anything can happen" Bucky huffed as he tapped on the front door with his foot and it opened up. You had barely noticed the door was ajar, but Bucky didn't say anything. He carried you into the living room and set you down on the couch. He then got down on the floor and unlaced your winter boots one at a time and pulled them off. You unzipped your jacket and shivered at the coolness in the room. Clint and Steve had come in and taken off their jackets, and closed the door after all of the pack came in. They watched on curiously as Bucky fawned over you. He helped you take off your jacket, then he took your boots and jacket and went and put them away. He then went into the bedroom to get you one of the dark blue throws that you had gotten as a wedding gift and he brought it back in and put it over you.
"That's top level service" Clint chuckled. "I remember being like that with Laura," he admitted.
"How are you doing, little mama?" Steve came in and sat on the loveseat.
"I'm good" you giggled as Bucky went into the kitchen. You saw him turn on the tea kettle and take out four mugs and the hot chocolate and you smiled happily. "A little tired from rushing the walk a bit," you admitted.
"You know, you probably shouldn't be going out on your own" Steve started to advise.
"Exactly! He's the Captain" Bucky called in.
"And you are my husband right now. We are on our honeymoon" you nestled under the blanket.
"Strawberries?" he asked innocently.
"Yes please" you cooed.
"You should be careful kid, you've been tired. And you can't tell me you aren't getting light headed" Clint frowned.
"I was with my pack" you sighed, rolling your eyes.
"But we can't understand them like you do" Clint said, looking at you imploringly.
"Okay, next time I'll let someone know where I'm going" you finally gave in. "I loved the crystal wine glasses" you added softly.
"Laura said you would love them. Did you see they have little roses on the stem?" Clint asked proudly.
"I did. And we also loved the painting Steve" you said gratefully.
"That took a while, but I wanted to get it just right," Steve said, looking a little bashful.
"We can't decide if we want it up here at the house, or at the compound" Bucky admitted from the kitchen.
"I say here, since I probably won't be at the compound much once our little bean arrives" you rubbed your belly.
"And I say the compound because that's where we spend most of our time, and that's exactly where we are going to be once she arrives" Bucky gave his two cents. "It's safer there for you and the baby," he added.
"Honey, I don't think that the team wants a screaming baby on the premises. Here it is safe, and it's our home" you rolled your eyes.
"The compound is also our home," he said, looking a little defeated.
"We want the screaming baby. Are you kidding me? Nat will have a field day" Clint chuckled. "Maybe you two need to talk it out a little more. If it comes down to a vote, most of the team is going to want you at the compound"
"I second that," Steve quickly agreed. "Besides, we are all going to want to help. Wanda and Pepper will be having babies of their own too, so you won't be alone."
"And Nat and Bruce are on the adoption list for a baby too, so there will be her baby too" Clint added and you squealed happily.
"I can't wait to see them with a baby" you cooed. Bucky brought in a large bowl of stemmed strawberries and put them on your lap. He took one and popped it in your mouth, before taking one for himself. "What are the Avengers going to do with all the girls off work?" you asked.
"What we do best. We figure it out" Steve shrugged. You offered them both some strawberries, and only Clint took you up on the offer and took a few. Bucky came back in a few minutes later with four mugs of hot chocolate with whipped cream and strawberries on top. You did a small dance as he set yours down beside you on the table, and then he handed Steve and Clint each a mug before he sat down beside you. He immediately wrapped his arm around your shoulders and pulled you in.
"I'll tell you what, I'll put up the painting here. By the time you make it back to the compound, I'll have a different one waiting there in your suite" Steve offered an olive branch.
"We can't ask you to that punk" Bucky shook his head. "My wife is being stubborn."
"I'm offering" Steve corrected him.
"Yes please" you nodded. You felt something and Melody looked at you at the same time. "Uh oh" you heard her whine.
"Call Sam" Snow went over and sniffed Melody.
"What's wrong?" Bucky asked you worriedly.
"Call Sam and mama" you said as you felt the first real contraction and you nearly dropped your strawberries. Melody let out a loud groan and a whimper and Cloud went to her immediately.
"Is it happening?" Steve asked in surprise as Bucky watched a little lost. Clint whipped out his phone and called Sam and your mama.
"We need the old blankets" you groaned.
"We don't have any old blankets" Bucky said, as he looked perplexed.
"Then get the ugly ones" you huffed as Melody let out a soft howl.
"How long does she have?" Clint hung up the phone.
"It just started. Maybe an hour?" you said, rubbing your belly.
"I'll be right back. Sam, your mama, and Uncle Brad are on their way" Clint got up and quickly left. Melody whined and you got off the couch and laid beside her on the floor and ran your fingers through her fur. You saw the plug was out, and could feel her anxiety in the bond. Bucky came over with a paper towel and picked up the mucus plug and put it in the garbage before he went into the bedroom to try to find something you weren't attached to for blankets.

"I'm here" Sam came running into the house with mama, and uncle Brad on his heels. You had been on the floor with Melody going through contractions for over an hour and Bucky had decided on bringing out his sweaters for Melody to give birth on.
"So am I" Clint came in the door behind them carrying a large bag. He brought it into the living room while Sam came over and took your spot on the floor, holding Melody from behind while Cloud licked her face. Clint pulled a large black comforter out of the bag and laid it on the floor. Melody seemed to immediately understand what this was for and she got up and moved onto it. Sam and Cloud followed her lead, while you got up on the couch beside Bucky and took a sip of your forgotten hot chocolate. Bucky kissed your forehead as you broke out into a sweat.
"I think we made it just in time" Uncle Brad said as he took a look at Melody who seemed a little anxious.
"Oh my dear sweet baby" Mama cooed and took a seat on the other side of Bucky. Clint and Uncle Brad took a seat as well while Sam continued to run his fingers through Melody's fur. Snow and Jasper were trying to keep Blue on the other side of the room and out of the way so Melody would be able to give birth without worrying.
"Snow you didn't tell me it was this painful" Melody groaned.
"Well, it feels good when they come out," Snow told her softly.
"We have to go through this again when Y/N has her baby. Only difference is, we all get to feel it" Cloud reminded Melody who just whined in response. You leaned more into Bucky as you felt another contraction and you whimpered. They were coming closer together, so you knew from experience with Snow that the pups were coming soon.
"I'm here Melody," Sam said softly.
"I'll go get a few wet towels" Mama got up and headed to the bathroom. Your little bean took the opportunity to start kicking and you groaned and cuddled more into Bucky. In response he picked you up and held you close to his chest. You tucked your head in under his chin and rode out each of the contractions with Melody at the same time. Mama came back with the wet towels and put them beside Sam so he would know to help clean the pups and Melody as they came out.
"Here it comes" Melody groaned and gave a soft howl as the first pup, perfectly white came out. She cleaned the pup, then Sam helped wipe them down, then Melody down. You breathed a sigh of relief as you watched Sam put the pup up to suckle from Melody. Melody seemed at peace, and Cloud puffed out his chest proudly.
"It's a girl," Sam said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
"Hold it together pup, we aren't done quite yet" Cloud said and Uncle Brad translated with a chuckle.
You held Bucky's hand tightly and you both shared a look of absolute love and devotion, mirroring the same look that Cloud and Melody shared in their own way. Today was another miracle.
