Working With The Winter Soldier

Chapter Twenty Four

The Next Day

"So... It's been a while anything new you'd like to share with me?", Doctor Marshall began the session.

"How much free time do you have?", Y/N replied sarcastically.

"About an hour before my next client.", She replied.

Y/N rolled her eyes.

"How about we start from when we last saw each other, it's been almost two months. I decided to give you a break from these sessions so you could focus on your work, what's happened since then?" 

Y/N took a deep breathe.

"I've been working on the mission of finding out who was running these illegal Vibrainium warehouses, in doing so I've managed to make amends with Natasha, get closer with the rest of the team, find out who is running these warehouses. Woo! all positives. Oh I'll also tell you what else is positive, a pregnancy test. Oh yes, I got knocked up, guess who by? I'll tell you, the son of the guy who is running these illegal Vibrainium warehouses, we pretended to seduce each other for the mission, somehow it worked, we slept together, bish bash boom, I'm 6 weeks pregnant, but as I have the serum in my system things seem to have sped up a bit so I'm currently showing at 8 weeks and I've popped.", Y/N proceeded to stand up and show Doctor Marshall her stomach. 

Doctor Marshall just sat there stunned. 

Y/N sat back down.

The Doctor tried to speak but no words came out.

"You know what, I didn't realise if I talked a lot during these sessions it would keep you quiet, should have tried it out sooner.", Y/N laughed.

"So let me get this straight, you're pregnant and are keeping it?", she finally asked.

Y/N sighed, "Yes." 

"What about the father, does he know?"

"Yep, As soon as I told him, he changed. Came clean and now he's helping us.", Y/N replied.

"Oh right okay, how do you feel about that?", Doctor Marshall asked.

"I don't know, my emotions are all over the place.", she replied.

"That's to be expected."

"I never thought I'd have kids. I know I didn't get a hysterectomy like all the other Widows but it never crossed my mind. I guess part of me is excited but the other part is shitting themselves because it'll become a living human being. Also I guess I'm sad cause I'll have to stop going on missions." Y/N added.

Doctor Marshall screwed her eyebrows together. "You haven't stopped yet?" 

Y/N shook her head, "I've been doing remote work, not many people know. The only people who do is Bruce, Nat, Wanda and my Doctor." 

"Not even Fury?", she raised an eyebrow.

"No, I want this mission over and done with first, Bruce is good at coming up with excuses to get me out of physical missions." 

"Mhm I see", She scribbled something down on her note book.

"Hi Bruce.", Bucky said as he wandered into the lab.

"Hello Mr Barnes, what can I do for you?", Bruce replied while still working.

"I just had a question about Y/N", He began.

"What about Miss Grant?"

"It can't be healthy for her you know.", Bucky said.

"What cant be healthy?", Bruce asked.

"You know?", Bucky tried to start of soft.

Bruce stopped working and turned to Bucky, "Know what?" 

"You know", Bucky tried again.

"I really don't know Bucky, could you be a bit more specific", Bruce suggested.

"You know, come on. Shes..." Bucky uses his hand to indicate a pregnant stomach.

Bruce screws his eyebrows together, "She's gaining weight?" 

"What? No. Well... In a way.", Bucky replied.

"Spit it out Barnes.", Bruce started to get impatient.

"I know she's pregnant."

"She's what now?", Bruce acted surprised.

"You didn't know?", Bucky was confused.

"No? What made you think I did?", Bruce asked.

"You've been asking for her help a lot and we both know she's shocking at science.", Bucky replied.

"Well if you must know, she's been wanting to learn. Hence why I ask for her help, so she can see what I'm doing and assist me." 

"Oh right, okay. Sorry.", Bucky looked down. "So she's not pregnant?" 

Bruce shrugged his shoulders "Not as far as I'm aware, maybe you should talk to her if you're really concerned. It's her business but she hasn't come to me about it." 

"Okay, thanks Bruce. Sorry for bothering you.", Bucky replied and started making his way out.

"No problem.", Bruce replied.

Once Bruce new Bucky was fully out the room he grabbed his phone and dialled a number.

"Hi, we have a problem.", he waited for a moment, "I think Bucky knows." 

-

"Seriously Barnes?", Y/N yelled at him as she walked into the gym. 

The gym was empty except for Bucky.

"I'm sorry?", he questioned while still working out.

"Why the hell did you go asking Bruce a bunch of questions?" 

Bucky put the weights down and stood up. "I'm sorry, I've just been worried about you." 

"And you couldn't just ask me them?", she crossed her arms.

"I felt like it would have been rude.", he replied.

"And asking Bruce about my business over me wasn't? My life is mine and it's private, it has nothing to do with you.", she began to walk away.

"Is it now?", Bucky started to get annoyed and followed her. "We're partners remember, if I didn't know certain matters such as this, how the hell would we be able to work around it.?"

She turned to face him, "We don't, I do. It's my problem to deal with. I've been doing good so far." 

"Really? Because you've been hiding it great so far. Drinking bad milk, oh wait sorry no the milk was fine, it was scoffing down an entire pint of ice cream, oh wait another thing I disproved, there's no ice cream. You've been crying all the time, over emotional, and avoiding all the missions which require going outside and possibly injuring yourself, I know you well enough to know you love these missions and would hate to miss out on them." 

Y/N just stood there in silence.

"See, you can't even defend yourself. You're pregnant Y/N you need to own up to it and start taking responsibility and take care of yourself.", Bucky shouted.

Silence filled the room except for the sound of the door closing behind them.

"Y/N's pregnant?", a voice spoke. 

They both turn to see Tony, Sam, Steve, Pietro and Clint, looking as if they were about to do a training session.

Before anyone could say anything Y/N bolted out the door.

"Shit... " Bucky muttered under his breathe and look down.
