"Doll?" Bucky was knocking on your office door the next morning. You had already gone out for breakfast with Loki and he let you pay for a change. You had your eggs benedict like you wanted.
"It's Y/N, not doll to you" you said coolly.
"Can we talk?" he asked, ignoring the snub.
"I'm working," you said, looking back at your screens. You weren't really. You were working on the team's schedule changes they had asked for.
"I can't do this fighting anymore. I'm sorry, I over reacted" Bucky came into the room more and got on his knees beside you, and he pulled out your chair so you were facing him. You held firm. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry you feel you need to leave. I don't want that. I want you. I want everything with you. I'm tired of not sleeping, because I can't sleep without you. I'm tired of fighting with you, because you are the love of my life, the mother of my pups. There's nowhere I'd rather be than right there beside you. Can I show you something?" he asked.
"I'm working" you repeated yourself, but not as coldly as before.
"It's your breaktime," Steve said from his office. He had obviously been eavesdropping on the conversation, and was likely giving a sigh of relief.
"Have you found me my own room yet?" you asked Steve pointedly and Bucky looked pained.
"Please don't do this to me" Bucky pleaded. "Please, just come see what I want to show you, and just... let me take care of you a little bit" he said with tears at his waterline. I felt tears coming up too.
"You can't expect me to quit my job when I love it so much. And I can't take the time off or else I can't stay here anymore Bucky" you finally voiced your biggest fear.
"What are you talking about? Working or not, you belong here. With me" Bucky looked astounded that you had thought that.
"It's true," you told him.
"No, it's not," Steve called from the next room.
"Yes it is! I'd be out on my ass on my own again" you started crying, and you were internally blaming the hormones.
"No you wouldn't" Bucky said to you. "Never, just please, come with me" he begged.

"Fine, but only ten minutes, I need to be back. Steve needs me" you said.
"That I do, but take half an hour" Steve called and you rolled your eyes at his antics.
"Come up to our room" Bucky asked you, letting you take the lead. You walked slowly, taking your time, wondering what Steve meant by you having to leave not being true. It had to be true. Otherwise, why else would you stay?

Getting up to your shared suite, Bucky put his hand in front of your eyes and you grumbled. He opened the door to the suite with a soft click and he started leading you in. You got to almost the living room furniture when he took his hand off your eyes. You surveyed the room and saw the living room and kitchenette was covered in vases of flowers. There was a rose petal trail leading to what would be the nursery and you followed it, already overwhelmed with all of the flowers of every kind everywhere. You went to the nursery and opened the door and it was completely finished with three cribs, and Harry Potter themed like you had wanted.
"Stevie helped me paint the decorations on the wall. Our baby girl is going to be right here with the stag and doe under the moonlight, and our two boys will be over there by the Hogwarts castle" he showed you. "We didn't sleep all night," he admitted softly. "You were playing the music so loud I figured you wouldn't hear us anyways."

"No, I didn't hear a thing" you looked around in awe. "This is beautiful. You didn't have to do that on your own."
"I asked Steve for help, and I wanted to take a load off of your wonderful and might I say beautiful hands" Bucky took your hands showing you all the furniture was put together perfectly, and it looked just like your pinterest page.
"Okay, just don't let those nanny bots anywhere near my babies" you finally graced him with a smile.
"Can I please sleep in the nest tonight?" Bucky asked pleadingly.
"Yes, you can come back into the nest. So can Steve" you gave in and he wrapped his arms around you.
"Your place is always going to be at my side, doll. I don't think I could survive another night without you or another day without seeing you" Bucky admitted softly.

"I also want to go on runs with you" you looked at him pleadingly. "You said it was safe, and Loki took me last night and I was fine" you told him.
"You let Loki see you naked?" was the first thing out of his mouth. It was coated in jealousy and protectiveness.
"No, he turned around. Never even snuck a peek" you told him.

"Can I please kiss you?" Bucky's voice dipped to a whisper, seeming satisfied with your answer. In response you lifted up onto your tiptoes and kissed him softly on the lips. His hands went to either side of your face and pulled you in for a more sensual kiss. His lips tested yours a few times before his tongue swept across your bottom lip. You granted him entrance and soon you were both savoring a long awaited kiss. His hands fell to your hips, and you wondered where you even found the strength to stay away. Your hands went to his shoulders to keep your balance,and you pulled him down a bit more. He bent at his knees to be at your height before he just picked you up and he set you down on the changing table. You wrapped your legs around him as the kiss became something more. Deeper, and more of a connection with him.

"Now I better let you get back to work" he stepped back. "Ten minutes, as promised," he said.
"I have a craving" you scrunched your nose.
"I'll make it, or I'll get it. What do you need?" he asked.
"I want a grilled cheese with an egg inside it, and hot sauce" you licked your lips. "And kalamata olives on the side" you rubbed your large baby bump. "Oh and a Starbucks decaf pumpkin spice latte" you told him.
"I'll bring it up to you in just a little bit. As soon as the order gets here, I'll make the sandwich and bring it up to you doll" Bucky promised.
"Will you have one with me?" you asked hopefully.
"Of course I'll try it" he smirked. "May I escort you back to work?" he asked.
"You may" you said, taking his hand. Instead he picked you up like a bride and carried you back down to the office where Steve was waiting by sitting on your desk.
"Thank you" you ran to him and gave him a hug after Bucky set you down.
"Well, I didn't want to be forever banned from your nesting grounds," Steve chuckled and hugged you back. Bucky let out a warning growl and you both separated.
"I'll be right back, hands off my girl" Bucky said before leaving.
"So you're going to stay, right?" Steve asked as soon as he was gone.
"Of course. Nick said I could also stay there and do the same thing I'm doing here" you admitted.
"That's not going to be necessary. You're family and you belong here" Steve chuckled. "Why would you think you couldn't stay?" he asked.
"Because if I'm not working, I'm not exactly helping out around here. It would mean I didn't belong" you looked down feeling embarrassed.
"Listen, you get paid regardless. You just have to exist in the compound and I would make sure you were getting paid. That goes to maternity leave too. You're taking eight months off to take care of the babies, and that's paid" Steve explained.
"You... we.... That's.... You can't do that!" you exclaimed, initially at a loss for words.
"I can and I already cleared it with Tony," he smirked. "You do realize you don't have to do our schedules, right?"
"Yeah, but I'm in the office anyways" you said, sitting back down in your chair.
"You know you can take more than a ten minute break, right?" Steve asked you.
"Yeah, but I have a craving and Bucky said he would go get it, and make it so I'm going to use the rest of my time on eating" you told him.
"Ah, so you have been having cravings besides strawberries?" he asked with a chuckle.
"Oh man, they're so bad. Some sound so odd, but in my mind it already tastes delicious" you grinned.
"I'm not sure I want to know" he shook his head and got off your desk.
"I'll be in my office, we are looking at doing small missions with just one team a day starting tomorrow" he warned you.
"Okay" you nodded.
"We will still keep you safe" he promised.
"I know you will" you gave a small smile.
"Bucky might be on a few missions, will you be okay with that?" he asked and you paused before nodding half heartedly. "Okay." He went back to his office.

It was only approximately twenty minutes before Bucky returned with two sandwiches, hot sauce, the olives, and of course two lattes. He sat down across from you after giving you an initial kiss hello and he set down the food and drinks.
"I've been waiting for this," you admitted, logging out of your computer. You ate an olive, spitting out the pit politely into a napkin, then took a big bite of your sandwich and moaned happily. Bucky took a bite, ate half, and passed you the other half. You happily ate it as well.
"You two ready for lunch?" Steve came out a few minutes later.
"Absolutely" you said, shoving the last of your sandwich in your mouth. "This was just the appetizer," you grinned.
"Yeah, I need something else to eat," Bucky agreed, winking at you.
"What you're obviously thinking about is not on the menu with the team around" Steve chuckled good naturedly.
"That will be much later" you said, heading towards the door with your latte.
