Right Here Waiting ~Bucky Barnes Love Story~

29

I walked into the kitchen with Bucky and Jimmy thinking that today started off great today I just hope it stays that way. Bucky put Jimmy in his chair as I grabbed some baby food and a spoon. I walked up to the table giving Bucky the food and spoon then went to grab some coffee for Bucky and myself. I grabbed two cups poured some coffee in both then added the sugar and coffee creamer in stirring both cups. I took Bucky his coffee then went and grabbed my coffee. I sat down at the table with my coffee and a cut up pear looking at Bucky and Jimmy who seemed to be having fun. As I finished my pear Jimmy finished his food so I took my plate along with Jimmy's empty food container and spoon and put the plate and spoon in the sink. I rinsed the container out putting it in recycling after I was done Bucky came up to me from behind wrapping his arms around my waist. He kissed my cheek then asked if I wouldn't mind having a day or two of being kid free "no not at all but who's gonna take Jimmy for two days?" He looked at me with a smile on his face "I was thinking maybe your dad?" I shrugged saying sure why not before yelling for my dad. Dad came into the kitchen looking at me "do you wanna take the grandson for two days?" He smiled big saying yes going towards Jimmy to pick him up. I shook my head thinking that was easy. Bucky let me go before grabbing an over night bag for Jimmy from the living room. I went to give Jimmy a goodbye kiss telling him we'll see him in like two days. Bucky came back in with the overnight bag handing it to dad.

"Okay I don't want a scratch on him or I'll kick your ass." Dad stuck his tongue out at me "how about I cut that tongue off?" He shook his head at me before he took Jimmy and the overnight bag with him. I looked at Bucky as he looked at me we smiled at each other before we left so he can go meet up with his squad before they start their two days off. We walked down to the training area seeing the squad already there waiting for Bucky when we got there. Bucky went to see his squad while I went to see Peggy who was talking to Howard.

"So what are you two arguing about?" They looked at me like really "we weren't arguing I was just telling him to be careful." I shook my head at the two with my arms crossed "why is he going somewhere?" That's when Peggy told me that their finally transporting Red Skull to the underwater prison so he can deal with his sentence and that Howard is going with them.

"Well you better be careful that guy is really annoying and likes to escape" I told Howard feeling really concerned for him and for whoever else is going. "I'll be careful but not making any promises" he stated I looked over towards Bucky who looked like he dismissed his squad. I sighed before telling Peggy and Howard that I'll talk to them later then I went up to Bucky he just finished signing off on something. When I got to him he looked at me and smiled "everything okay?" His smiled dropped "their making me go with the transport team to transport Red Skull." I looked behind me at Peggy and Howard who were looking at us then I looked back at Bucky. "What?! Why?!" I asked he sighed telling me that apparently he has no choice so he has to go. I scoffed crossing my arms saying well that's just great looking at him annoyed. "I'm sorry doll but I'll be back in the morning I promise." He wrapped his arms around me pulling me into a hug I hugged him back "please don't come back with a broken hand or something." I heard him chuckle at that then we pulled apart a little bit so we can look at each other. "One of these days when we have something planned we won't have to cancel it" I said with a smile planted on my face he smiled back. He leaned in giving me a kiss. We pulled away after a minute "I have to go but I'll be back in the morning." I nodded my head okay giving him one more kiss before he left.

When he left I headed back into the main area of the compound deciding to let dad keep Jimmy for the two nights. I have also decided to go see Pepper if she wanted to hang out if she wasn't busy working. I found Pepper in the kitchen baking more goodies even cake by the looks of it. I walked up to her asking her if she needed help.

"Yeah that would be great thank you." I told her she's welcome as I started helping her. Pepper told me to start taking the already baked things off the pans and stuff so she can get more on the go so I did just that. After two hours we had everything done put away and cleaned up. Pepper got somethings to decorate the two cakes she made once we were done cleaned. She made a chocolate cake and a red velvet cake both look really delicious. I swiped four cookies then sat on the counter to talk to Pepper as she decorated. "Did Tony go with Red Skull too?" She sighed but said yes anyway "I guess their taking better precautions this time."
