I woke up and ran the the bathroom, spilling my guts in the porcelain bowl in front of me. Bucky slowly made his way to my side, rubbing my back with one hand and his face with the other. This was the third morning this week that I had gotten sick upon waking up. It was also becoming common for me to be running to the toilet in the evenings too but I couldn't figure out why. I hadn't felt ill in the longest time and even now, as I vomited everywhere, I still had no feeling of sickness or fever. Bless Bucky though because he has chosen to be by my side every time. He is almost to the point of not leaving my side because he's afraid I'll spill my guts again. Though this particular morning I assured him I would be alright and we would spend some quality time together when I got off work. He insistently protested me going to work in my State but I told him I would be fine and I'd call him if anything out of the blue happened.

Little did Bucky know, I was definitely not going to work. no, I called Natasha upon stepping out the door and told her we were having a girl's day out. We met at the mall and went about our business, stopping after lunch to get our nails done, or at least a foot massage for me. We sat and talked while the salon girls did their magic. I explained my situation to her and all she did was give me a knowing smile.

"I don't know, it's just all out if the blue I guess, I don't even feel sick or anything, it just hits me."

"You do know what this means right?"

I looked at her and skewed my eyebrows together.

"Is it wrong to say no?"

She opened her mouth in a mocked shocked manor.

"Really? You've been getting sick randomly? Don't know why? Fine afterwards? Ringing any unsuspecting bells?"

I looked at her and it dawned on me. I smacked my forehead hard.

"How could I have been so stupid. We've been so careful, I didn't even think of that! I guess we gotta make a drug store stop on the way home."

She just smirked at me and got cozy in her massage chair.

"Looks like you've got a doctor's appointment to schedule Sicky."

I stuck my tongue out and blew raspberries at her. I guess she was right.

I sat in the bathroom by myself with Natasha on video call. I had the tests done and was just waiting for the results. I dreaded Bucky coming home but I also dreaded the timer going off. Luckily Nat was there talking me through everything and making sure I really was okay. Which I wasn't but she was really reassuring. I heard the front door slam shut and Bucky huff up the stairs to our room.

"Babe you in there?"

He knocked lightly at the door, shaking me from my terrible thoughts.

"Yeah I'll be out in a second, why don't you meet me downstairs and we can get dinner started."

I looked at my phone screen to see a disapproving look from nat.

"Alright don't be too long though I've got to tell you what Steve did today it was hilarious."

He laughed a little at himself and I could hear his soft footsteps walk slowly across the carpet. Then the timer went off and my face went Ash white. Nats face just looked concerned and she messaged me that she had to go. Great now I was alone. I heard Bucky promptly shuffle back to the door.

"Babe why do you have the timer in there with you?"

I looked down at both tests I took and covered my agape mouth.

"Would you believe me if I told you I was baking?"

"Not unless youre making a shit cake."

I opened the door and held up both tests.

"No but I do have a bun in the oven."

He stared at me for a second trying to comprehend what I had just said. My stomach was turning circles and I wanted to die but then the corner of his mouth turned up.

"You mean? You're?"

He reached down and touched my shirt covered stomach with his finger tips. I gave him an uneasy smile and nodded yes. He cracked the widest smile I'd ever seen.

"My baby's having a baby!"

He yelled and picked me up, twirling me in a circle and placing me back on my feet. He kissed me hard and passionately. It was like seeing a whole new man and that made me happy. He was so excited. He pulled away, picking me up and laying me on our bed. He just sat next to me and pulled my shirt up a bit to touch my stomach. I laughed at his child like reaction, but also because it tickled a bit.

"so I take it your not mad?"

He looked at me like I was crazy.

"You kidding doll? I'm gonna be a dad, this is the best day of my life."
