040

I did actually need help in the bathroom when I sat down and had Bucky sit on the edge of the tub because when I started to relieve myself, there was pressure which started a contraction and I can tell you right now, that was probably an experience I want to forget about because I honestly thought I was about to go into labor so Bucky called for Charlotte through JARVIS on his phone that rang Steve's and she was sent up to check on me. We are all good obviously or this would've started a lot different so nothing yet unfortunately- I know, I'm excited too. Bucky asked if I wanted to call it a night but I was not going to miss out on the movies. After getting comfortable on the couch and surrounded by my nephews, Eli was in charge of the controls as always and we turned on the movie Tangled. I think our little love enjoyed it so much, that I didn't want to watch any other movie but Tangled and that was enough to convince everyone in the house for those three and a half hours that I was pregnant with a baby girl.

No, Isaiah wasn't in the house. 

"Come in!" I call as I stand in the bathroom, brushing my hair that is still curly but now lays in soft beach waves and I lean out the door to see Aj coming in after he knocked. "Hey, baby. What's up?" I smile at him

"Uncle Buck's worried about you." Aj says and stands by the end of my bed. "He thinks you had a contraction because it's been a while so he sent me up here to check on you." He explains and I squint my eyes

"How did you manage to convince your uncle that you can check on your pregnant aunt who is basically due any day now?" I smirk when I hear his whispered thoughts and he laughs

The body is very unpredictable.

That's all I'll say.

"I can scream really loud." He shrugs

"Fair enough." I give it to him and we both laugh while I finish up my morning routine and turn off the bathroom lights when I'm done

"Oh, by the way... Michelle is here." He adds when slip on my house slippers and walk out the door he opens for me, patting my back as a physical gesture of reassurance when I sigh

"Has your uncle or brother tore into her yet?" I whisper and he shakes his head

"Surprisingly, no." He whispers back and I raise my eyebrows. "Ross is also here. He just got back from his night shift at the airport." He takes my hand and walks a step ahead of me when he go down the stairs

"He must be tired." I hum and Aj chuckles

"He sleeps on the job." He tells me and I glance at him in confusion, watching my steps. "I tend to hack into cameras in surrounding buildings." He willingly admits in a quiet voice

"Makes sense." I nod and smile. "Don't let anyone else find out." I keep his secret and give his hand a squeeze, knowing what he is doing is almost harmless

Illegal? Maybe.

Illegal in Tony's lawyer's mind? Nope.

"I've been doing it for six months now. I promise, no one will because of the firewalls and protection I have coded on my boards." Aj uses a hug to whisper in my ear

"You're losing me in the tech talk but I know you're just having fun." I give him an actual hug that lasts longer and he engulfs me in one

"Good morning, dolly." Steve smiles from the stove when Aj leaves to go out back. "I got you blueberry muffins." He holds out a plate and I gasp a smile, rushing over to grab the warm dessert plate

"Ugh, and it has cream cheese in it!" I lick my lips from the mouth watering scent reaching my enhanced smelling nose. "Potatoes would go so good with this." I sigh
