Adoption

Bucky was very nervous, but also very excited. He and Steve, now happily married, were finally adopting a kid. They had waited two years of marriage just to be totally sure.

Steve takes Bucky's metal hand within his own and the brunette breathes out slowly. The blonde wraps an arm around him gently.

"You nervous?" He asks and Bucky looks over at him and smiles softly, his blue-grey eyes shining.

"A little," he admits. "Excited. I can't believe we're doing this, Stevie," he breathes and Steve smiles at him and rubs his back briefly.

"You're gonna be a great father, you know," Steve muses and Bucky beams.
An adoption worker with dark black hair walks by and pauses when she sees them. "Excuse me, are you waiting for someone?"

"We're, uh, here to adopt a girl," Bucky pipes up with a nervous smile and the worker smiles softly at them.

"Come with me. My name's Kaylee," she offers and the pair stand up. Bucky links his and Steve's hands and they follow the woman. They walk down a long corridor and Bucky periodically squeezes Steve's hand out of nervousness.

"We have one young girl in need of a home. She's six years old and her name is Rosa, she has a very strong vocabulary for someone her age and is very creative," Kaylee explains as she opens a door. There was a young girl sitting there on the floor, colouring in a fairy book. She had a round face with a few freckles and big, brown eyes. Her hair was straight and hung down past her shoulders, and it was soft gold in colour. Rosa raises her head quietly and looks at the trio.

"Hey, sweetheart. These two were wondering if they could talk to you?" Kaylee asks gently and Rosa nods quietly. Bucky takes a seat and so does Steve. Rosa sits up and tucks her hair behind her ear.

"Hi, my name's Bucky, and this is Steve, he's my husband," Bucky explains softly, Rosa nods her head mutely.

"Husband?" She repeats, her voice was tiny and quiet. Bucky nods in confirmation.

"That's right. That, uh, doesn't bother you, does it?" Bucky asks uneasily and Rosa smiles shyly. She glances at Bucky's metal arm and the brunette tenses up a little. Steve rubs his back comfortingly. She sits up and puts her tiny hand against his metal one. Bucky swallows, his metal hand trembling slightly.

"What happened to your arm?" She asks softly, rubbing his arm with her small fingers. Bucky glances nervously at Steve, who sits a little closer to him to try and comfort him some.

"It, uh, I... I lost it when I was a little younger," Bucky admits and Rosa blinks up at him.

"Oh. It's shiny, I like it," she says quietly with a small smile then hugs Bucky. "I like you," she states, pulling back. Bucky squeezes Steve's hand. Rosa turns to the blonde next.

"You're Steve?" She says quietly and Steve nods his head. "You're Captain America," she continues, her eyes widening a little.

"I am, yeah," he replies with a nod and a small, awkward smile. Bucky was always better with kids than he was. She nods and scooches closer to him.

"You fight HYDRA. I've seen on the news," she adds quietly and Steve nods yet again. She smiles softly and hugs him. "I like you too. You're a good guy, aren't you." She states and Steve looks at Bucky quietly, and the brunette smiles at him.

"So, Rosa, what do you do for fun?" Bucky asks and Rosa pulls back, a thoughtful look on her face.

"Draw. Read. Write. I tell the younger ones stories. I like stories," she says matter-of-factly. Steve nods.
