l. THE BIRTH

[REQUEST AND SEMI CONTINUATION OF THE BABY]

"Steve, this is adorable." you grinned as you held Steve's present in your hand. The baby bodysuit replicated the design of Steve's gear and attached to the back was a miniature shield that Steve had signed. "You didn't have to sign it, dude. I'm sure the baby isn't gonna care that you're Captain America." Bucky teased as he sat down next to you and Steve just sent him a glare whilst the rest of the Avengers giggled.

"Me next." Clint rushes towards you with a wrapped package in hand. You tear the perfectly folded paper from the present and gasp as you realise what it is. "Clint you shouldn't have."

"What is it?" You hand it to Bucky, allowing him to have a closer look. Bucky pulled the gift from the remaining wrapping paper. He held the baby mobile in his hands, observing each charm dangling from it; they were each shaped like the individual symbols of each of the Avengers. "It's so- "

You stopped sharply in the middle of the sentence and all eyes turned to you. You clutched your stomach as the surface you were sitting on began to feel wet. "Bucky..."

"I'm getting the stuff. Sit tight, doll." All of the Avengers were on their feet now. Nat, Wanda and Bruce kneeled beside you, helping you with your breathing patterns as the others scrambled around the house, collecting various baby bags you had kept ready. "We got them. Operation Baby Delivery is ago." Tony screamed and everyone helped escort you to the door and into your car. Bucky took the driver's seat whilst everyone else filed into their own rides and trailed behind your car. Bucky raced through traffic and parked as close to the entrance as he could manage. He looked over at you, grabbing your hand and squeezing it lightly, to assure you that everything would be okay.

Your breathing was still heavy as you were rushed to a ward. You'd briefly heard Tony flaunt his identity, and money, to get you a room instead of in the waiting lounge. "You're going to be fine, Lady (Y/N). The pain must not feel that bad."

"Shut up, Thor." You were starting to feel cranky; you only wanted one thing. "GET. IT. OUT." You grunted, pulling Bruce to your face and gesturing at your baby. "I'm sure the doctors are trying but..."

"Make them try harder." Bruce nodded and stumbled away from you. You had a feeling that you're outburst of rage had scared him.

"Okay, I think this baby is ready."

Bucky and you held eye contact before looking back to the doctor with a nod.

"Wake up, idiots." The voice of a very happy Bucky Barnes awoke the sleeping superheroes. They shuffled around for a moment before they realised where they were and what was happening. "She gave birth, didn't she?" Wanda sat up quickly with a shriek. Once Bucky had calmed the excitable adults, he led them towards the room you were in. Pushing open the door, everyone got a clear view of you holding your newly born baby boy in your arms. 

"Why do I feel like I'm gonna cry?" Tony stammered, pulling his designer handkerchief from his suit pocket and pulling his glasses down, patting at his eyes. Everyone giggled as quietly as they could, in fear of waking the sleeping baby. "Have you picked a name yet?"

"As a matter of fact, we have." You smile up at Bucky, gesturing that he could say it and he nods with a grateful smile. "James Steven Barnes. The Steven being after..." 

"Oh my go-" Steve could barely muster out a response, stopping short as tears pooled in his eyes. "Steven after Steve Harvey, of course." Steve is too overjoyed to pretend to be angry at your teasing commentbut the other Avengers find it so hilarious that they laugh loud enough for your baby to begin to stir."I think he's waking up"

"Everyone evacuate, he's loud." Bucky warns and you smack him playfully on the chest, not having enough energy to even lift your arm the whole way.

"As much trouble as his father it seems."

"Hey!"
