A week later,

Whitney got settled into Robert's guest room, and Billie Ann was happy to be in her bedroom across the hall from her mom. Billie Ann helped her dad plan a welcome home dinner for Whitney and invited their friends. 

Winnie and James was the first arrived, Winnie ran over to Whitney. 

"Oh my God it's so good to have you home." Winnie said as she hugged her. 

Whitney hugged her back as James came over. 

"What's shakin' Whitney?!" He said as he hugged her. 

"I've missed those bear hugs." She said 

She saw a tall blue eyed boy standing behind James. "Tell me this isn't baby J?" She said 

"Oh that's baby J Whit. Doesn't he look just like James in highschool." Robert said 

"Baby J?" Bucky said confused. 

"When you were a baby we called you Baby J." Robert said 

"Boy I'm glad I picked my own nickname now." Bucky said 

*Dad all the food is ready. Oh hi, I'm Billie Ann.." she said when she saw Bucky. 

"Hi..I'm James Buchanan Barnes IV but everyone calls me Bucky." He said as he felt butterflies in his stomach. 

She smiled at him, and her dimples were showing as he gulped. 

"This is my daughter Baby J..she will be going to the same school as you. You take care of her James she is special just like you." Robert said 

"Yes sir I will take good care of her." He said as others came in. 

Her grandmother Ann came in, "Oh my lanta look at this baby you have grown since Christmas. And Whitney darling you just get more beautiful." Ann said 

"Oh Ann you hush right now." Whitney said as she hugged her former mother in law. 

Everyone was happy to see Whitney, and Billie Ann. Winnie walked over to Robert after they told everyone the cancer news. 

"Robbie if you need anything you know to call me." Winnie said 

"I know.." he said as they shared a hug. 

"Win her back Robbie.." she whispered in their hug. 

He smiled, "I'll try." He whispered as they let go

Bucky introduced Billie Ann to all his friends even the ones that don't attend performing arts with him. She fit right in with them, Whitney loved watching her be with the kids that she should of been apart of all along.
