**Sophia**

I was working on getting everything of mine moved to Steve's room a few days after we were back. Nat and my new lady in waiting Wanda, whom we met on the way to the chateau were helping me as well.

"Sophia?" I heard my name called out and I gave a small squeal leaving the bedroom.

"Rebekah!" I exclaimed rushing out to see her and she wrapped me in a hug.

"Well hello baby." She said feeling the bump and I smiled.

"Yeah, it just popped right out the other day. Steve is concerned." I said and Rebekah shook he'd.

"Women are different, you are already very small framed, so the baby probably just needs room to expand." She said and I nodded as we sat down. "So how is married life?" Sophia asked and I smiled.

"Honestly, it's amazing. Steve is so sweet and attentive. He takes amazing care of me, and he said that he doesn't want me to have my own bed chamber once we are married, I am to stay with him." I explained and Rebekah smiled.

"That's amazing Sophia, I'm so happy for you." Rebekah said and I just looked at her. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's Bucky..."

"What about Bucky?" I asked.

"Have you been to see him?" She asked.

"I sent a guard for him earlier, but he said that Lord Barnes was away." I said causing Rebekah to groan.

"I was afraid no one would tell you." Rebekah said.

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"Bucky isn't here, he hasn't been here for quite some time." Rebekah said. I just looked at her oddly.

"So where is he?" I asked.

"No one really knows. I thought he would be at the house, but I just came from there and he isn't there." Rebekah said and I sighed.

"Is this all because I married Steve?" I asked.

"I think it's more of the fact that Steve and you were meeting in secret, you getting pregnant and then marrying Steve. There are a lot of factors." Rebekah explained.

I rubbed my forehead in confusion, "I knew everything with Steve was a shock, but I didn't think he would run away." I said.

"I know, I don't know what he was thinking. He is acting like a big baby..." Rebekah trailed off.

"I need go to talk to Steve, he is holding court today, so I need to go see him and tell him I'm going to find Bucky. I think I know where he might be." I explained.

"You can't go in your condition..." Rebekah said, and I sighed shaking my head.

"I need to be the one to go to him and talk to him. This is all because of me." I said. "And let's be completely honest, would he really harm his pregnant sister?" I smirked and Rebekah laughed shaking her head.

"Smart plan. Where is he though?" Rebekah asked and I sighed.

"That I will keep to myself. Thank you for coming to tell me but I need to go tell my husband." I said and she smiled.

"Well good luck with that, I highly doubt he will let you out of his sight." Rebekah said as we left the room, and I immediately had guards with me.

"If he does, these guys certainly won't." I smiled at Rebekah. We hugged and I started walking towards where I knew Steve was holding court.

I walked up to the man who would announce who was walking in and he bowed to me.

"I would like an audience with my husband please." I said and he nodded.

"Lady Roger's request an audience with his highness." He announced and I walked in. Steve looked at me as I walked in. He stood up and walked up to me.

"Sophia, if you want to talk to me you don't have to go this route." Steve said.

"I know but I needed to talk to you as King Rogers not my husband Steve." I said and he sat down in the chair but pulled me into his lap as the guards closed the door.

"Okay so what do you need to talk about?" Steve asked.

"Well, I think you have noticed since he isn't here with you, Bucky isn't in the castle at all." I said and he sighed.

"I had noticed..."

"Well, I think it's because of you and me, the baby, us getting married like we did. Now I think I know where he is, I was going to let you know that I'm going to take a carriage and find him. I need to talk to him." I explained.

Steve sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry Sophia, I can't allow you to do that. I think I know of a few places he could be and to be honest...it would be better if I spoke to him other than you. This is something that needs to come from me." Steve explained and I sighed. I shook my head.

"He could kill you, he won't harm me." I said and Steve chuckled leaning in and giving me a small kiss.

"Sweetie, he won't harm me...too much. Please just let me go find him myself. I promise to bring myself and your brother back in one piece." Steve said and I groaned.

"Fine, just make sure you do come back in one piece. This little one and I need you." I said patting my stomach. Steve smiled and nodded.

"I would never leave the two of you alone." Steve said. I got off his lap and he stood up.

"Let's go get me packed." Steve said and I nodded as he took my hand, and we headed to the bedroom to get his ready to travel to get Bucky.
