I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to start this chapter, so I'm just gonna jump right into a random topic.

:)

Thank you for reading!

After Satine has kicked Peter out of the hospital so he can spend time with Anya instead for her eleventh birthday, Satine is sitting alone in her bed when Sam and Bucky quietly step into the room. She turns her attention away from the window and lifts her head to move onto her fists.

"Don't move." Bucky puts his hand up. "Don't get up, we'll come to you."

She slips back into the pillow behind her with a sigh and he places his hand on her head to press a kiss to her hair.

"Are you doing alright?" He sits on the edge of the bed and she nods. "Are we the only ones here?"

"Peter's with Anya." She swallows her distress while adjusting her head. "It's her birthday."

"That's today?" Sam asks shamefully and she nods a bit with a tearful grin.

"Yeah." She breathes behind a whisper and the pair share a sorrowful glance.

"Uh..." Bucky clears his throat and her eyes flicker to his blank expression. "We have to tell you something." He states and her brows twitch inwards. "Sam and I have decided to try something new."

"Very new." He nods and she turns to him.

"For the past few months, we have been searching around the internet...hoping to adopt a child." He states and her head picks up.

"Specifically, a girl." Sam grins a bit at her wide eyes.

"You want a daughter?" She asks as pools form in her eyes.

"Blame you and Anya for that." He mumbles in complaint and she pouts a smile while covering her mouth.

"And..." Bucky nods. "We think we're getting closer to finding one that's not too young to scream and cry, and not too old to hate us."

"Oh, no, she wouldn't hate you guys." She tilts her head as a tear slips from her eye. "That'd never happen. Oh, my God, I'm so happy for you." She chuckles while wiping her face with her wrists and they grin at each other. "You're gonna get a little girl. Ugh, I can't wait to meet her."

Sam adjusts uncomfortably at the uncertainty of her statement and Bucky reaches out to take his hand. They don't know what's going to happen to her so they need to tell her know, while they still can.

"How did this even happen?" She shakes her head as she lays it back. "When did this even happen? I never thought I'd see such monotone and angry men be so in love with each other that they even want a kid." She states and they chuckle. "It never even crossed my mind. What was it that brought you two together?" She shakes her head and Sam snickers while hanging his head. "Because, as far as the rest of us have seen, you two aren't big on sharing your feelings. What happened?"

"You." Bucky states and her brows furrow.

"Me?"

"I don't know how much you remember about the day Peter brought you to meet all of us," Sam nods and her eyes move to her blanket, "but you mentioned something about how close he and I were." He grins tightly and she smiles slightly. "Apparently, two guys can't just stand next to each other anymore without it being gay."

"But you were right." Bucky shrugs and he nods as she chuckles. "And, I think it set something off inside of us and we were together real quick after that."
