They finally landed back stateside, and at Fort Benning. Once they got to James and Winnie's house. Tessa helped him upstairs to his old bedroom and laying down. 

Coy and his wife came over with Ezra and Nathaniel. 

"Look who is home boys.." Coy said as he came in. 

"Oh my baby boys..daddy is so happy to see you all in person." He said 

Tessa helped him hold them Bucky began to cry when he did. 

"Bucky is what is wrong?" Tessa whispered 

"I was so scared..and it just I almost died not getting to meet my boys and seeing you one more time." He said 

She laid the boys down for a nap, and she helped Bucky with a sponge bath, and they watched TV for awhile. She helped him eat some dinner so he could take his medicine. 

She was about leave the room, "Where are you going?" He said 

"You need to sleep, and I.." she said 

"The rule..mom and dad told you about the rule didn't they. Baby I'm fine I promise I'm fine. You and the twins will be fine." He said 

James came in, "Son you know she can't be in here right now when you sleep until we get therapy going and do a psych eval." James said 

"But dad I.." Bucky said with tears in his eyes. 

"You'll be ok son it's just for a few weeks." James said 

Tessa went downstairs to the guest room where she set up the twins bassinet and went to bed herself. A few hours later, James who slept on Bucky's futon woke up to hearing Bucky thrashing, and crying in his sleep. 

Bucky woke up drenched in sweat, and saw his dad but he was still triggered he went to grab his gun. 

"Son it's dad put that down.." James said 

But Bucky was hallucinating and saw a person behind his dad, and Steve on his floor. Bucky grabbed his head crying as he said "Make it stop make it stop" 

James came over to him, and hugged him. "Shh son it's alright I know this is the more tougher part. Let's get you some cool rags and new clothes ok." He whispered 

The next morning Bucky was eating breakfast when Tessa came in with the boys. 

"Morning baby." He said 

"Morning." She said as she laid beside him. 

He cupped her cheek as he kissed her, "maybe it is best that you follow the rules." He said 

"I know your dad told me about last night." She said as she caressed his cheek. 

He smiled at her, "I love you darlin and I missed you so much." He whispered 

"Ditto.." she whispered. 

Bucky's Brothers went to his place at Fort Buchanan and packed up his house to move him to Fort Benning since he was being transferred.
