Brooklyn - Steve Rogers X OC Spinoff

49 - Maddison

Steve ended up at the kitchen table with Avery while Maddison made breakfast. Steve protested, he didn't want Maddison to have to lift a finger. Especially since she was up late last night not feeling well, but Avery won that battle. She wouldn't let up on him. She kept holding him by his beard and sloppy kissing him while shouting, "Daddy home."

As soon as Maddison stepped onto the main floor, she was almost bombarded with attention from a tall dark skinned man that she assumed was Sam and a gorgeous blonde. She'd always heard about Natasha, the gorgeous redhead, so she assumed this was Wanda. Both rushed to her and pulled her into their embrace. "You must be Maddison! We've heard so much about you, we've been dying to meet you since the first time we saw your picture!" The man said.

Maddison smiled nervously at that. She knew who the two were. Well, she assumed. But she didn't know them. But these were Steve's friends, and they'd laid the lives on the line to save the world. She'd always be respectful. "I've heard about you both, too. It's nice to meet you." She said happily.

Maddison made small talk with the two for a while, she found out the gorgeous blonde actually was Natasha, not Wanda. She tried to talk to the two for a little bit, but she knew she had to get her little girl some breakfast. So, she joined Bucky at the stove as he plated up some eggs and toast for Emilia. "Leave the pan on, please." She asked.

Bucky smiled over at her, pulling her into a quick side hug. "Good to see you. What do you want me to make ya?" He asked.

Maddison smiled at that, reciprocating the hug from her friend. "I've got it. You go ahead and get Emilia her breakfast before she drops. I'm just going to make some eggs and banana for Avery." She said sweetly. She knew Emilia had to eat pretty quickly after she woke up, or her sugar would start to drop too low and she'd feel terrible all day.

Maddison made breakfast for Avery while Sam and Nat piled their plates high with what was apparently an entire assortment of breakfast lined up on the large kitchen island. She heard Emilia come downstairs, but she tuned it all out.

Honestly, she felt terrible. The smell of the bacon and whatever else that filled the air was making her feel nauseous, but she couldn't tell anyone that. She didn't want to overshadow Emilia's pregnancy or Wanda's loss.

Steve came up behind her while she plated up the eggs. He had Avery on one arm and wrapped the other around her waist with his hand settled on her stomach. "How are you feeling?" He asked quietly.

Maddison nodded, spinning in his grasp with Avery's plate in his hand. "What would you like?" She asked rather than answering his question.

Steve stared down at her, his arm around her tightening until his hand could settle on her stomach again. "You can't lie to me, angel. Go sit, I'll make you something." He said, leaning down to kiss her on the lips lightly.

Maddison nodded at that, leaning her forehead on his chest for a moment. "Maybe just some toast? No butter." She whispered. She felt him lean down, kissing the top of her head. "Got it, go sit." He whispered back to her.

Maddison took a seat at the table next to Avery's highchair, watching her while she ate and trying her best not to be sick while also trying to make conversation with Sam and Nat. Emilia had gone somewhere, leaving Bucky sitting there waiting for his wife and absent-mindedly picking at his breakfast. She focused on him for a minute, reaching over and patting the table to get his attention. "You okay?" She asked.

Bucky nodded, picking his head up and smiling. "Yes, of course." He promised, but Maddison wasn't buying it. "Are you really?" She asked.

Bucky sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "It's Wanda. She was so upset when.. well, you know. I had to watch it happen, and I couldn't do anything but bring her to Em, I knew Em could help her." He explained.
