Right Here Waiting ~Bucky Barnes Love Story~

25

Jimmy was playing with his toys as I sat there going through some work that Peggy asked me to help her with. I sighed looking at the file in front of me. Peggy looked at me asking if I was okay "yeah it's just these files on Red Skull are annoying." She agreed with me there before stating that it's weird how he just disappeared. "Yeah well we'll get him eventually" I told her before going to pick Jimmy off of his play blanket. I told Peggy I'll be right back I have to change Jimmy's diaper. I went to the bathroom where Tony put a change table in to change Jimmy's diaper. After changing his diaper we went back into the dining area I saw Bucky there so I handed Jimmy off to him so I can get back to work. I sat down at the table again looking through the file once more. After awhile Peggy decided to take the files to put them back where they belong as I went to go hang out with Bucky and Jimmy. When I got to the living room Bucky and Jimmy were passed out on the couch I sighed looking at them with a smile on my face. I grabbed a blanket then covered them then went to sit down quietly on the other end of the couch. I grabbed the book I left off the table and started reading where I left off. I read until Bucky and Jimmy woke up so I took Jimmy from Bucky to get him fed and into a clean diaper. After I fed and changed Jimmy's diaper I let Bucky take him so I can get started on dinner with the help of Natasha. Natasha cut the potato's while I cut the onions man I hate cutting onions because they make me tear up. Once we finished cutting the stuff up we started cooking everything. Tony came into the kitchen looking at us "what's for supper?" I looked over at him after putting the roast back into the oven. "Roast and mashed potato's" I told him as I started getting the stuff ready to do the gravy. "Are you gonna make gravy as well?" I sighed saying yes and he started asking another question before I turned to look at him "if you ask one more fucking question Tony I swear to god I'll punch you in the face." I went back to cooking after he said sorry and left. Natasha gave me a light shove with a smile on her face. "I still don't understand how we put up with the Stark's all these years" I said to her with a smile on my face. We joked around about it for a minute or two then it went quiet.

When dinner was done cooking I got Friday to let everyone know dinner was ready as Natasha cut the roast and I set the table. Once I was done setting the table I went and took a sip of my wine looking at the table. Nat walked in with the roast on a serving plate seeing me take another sip of my wine. She asked how many cups I had "oh trust me not enough I am 120 and had a baby so I deserve a few glasses of wine." She laughed at that as Bucky and Jimmy came in.

"Oh look it's the baby I gave birth to." I went up to them giving Bucky a kiss then said hi to Jimmy who was all smiles and laughs. After I talked to Bucky I went and grabbed the wine bottle bringing it to the table sitting across from Pepper. I poured some wine in her wine glass then poured myself some more.

Bucky sat down next to me with Jimmy sitting on his lap Jimmy leaning back against Bucky looking around. Everyone started putting food on their plates as they talked to one another. As dinner went on we were enjoying hanging out with each other. I love living here especially with Bucky and Jimmy. Bucky seemed happy he became less guarded and more happy and out there. I love the way he was with Jimmy and how protective of us he was. But I also loved that he's no longer letting what HYDRA did to him drag him down anymore. Bucky handed me Jimmy once I was done eating so now I'm just sitting there watching people talk as they finished their dinners. I saw Bucky laugh at something Sam said I really love his laugh and smile.

"You know staring is rude?" I looked over at Steve who was sitting on my left I smiled at him before offering Jimmy to him. He took Jimmy as I decided to ask him a question "you haven't seen him this happy in long time right?" He nodded his head yeah then looking at Jimmy who was starting to fall asleep. "Plus I'm happy he has you and Jimmy" he said looking back at me with a smile on his face.

"Well you did keep your promise" he looked at me a little confused "you stayed with him until the end of the line." He smiled at that comment which I'm glad he did. "You know since Peggy and I are together again we are talking about having a baby?" I looked at him like really asking if she was pregnant yet "no but we've been trying maybe Jimmy will be happy to have a friend to grow up with." I smiled at that then told him that they'll probably be like siblings like him and Bucky are. "I want a girl and so does Peggy" he told me with a smile on his face.
