Not Without You [Chris Evans]

Bonus Chapter

A/N: I've had a few requests for more Sebastian and Sadie - so enjoy!

**************************
Sebastian's POV

As I held Sadie later that night, her head on my shoulder and our limbs comfortably entangled, I thought again about how she'd seemed a little distant today at times and wondered if she'd been thinking about Justin again.

I slowly reached over and snagged my phone off the nightstand, trying not to wake Sadie. I opened the conversation I'd had with Megan earlier to reread it again, wondering if she'd said anything more.

Did she say anything
to you?

About what?

Whatever it is that's
bothering her.

You didn't do anything
wrong if that's what
you're wondering.

The thought had crossed
my mind. I just can't read
her today for some reason.

Bazzzz.

She's not mad at you.
Promise.

Then what?

Justin?

NO! STOP FREAKING OUT!

Easier said than done.

TALk to Sadie. Ask her
what she's thinking.
Might take some pushing.

You know.

Not my place to say
anything. Gotta go.
We're at the party now.

Smile pretty

😘💃🏻🍾

I smiled again at her emoji response - typical Megan. If someone had told me six months ago that Sadie's young, petite assistant would become one of my best friends, I'd have laughed in their face. Who could've imagined that the accident-prone redhead would catch Chris' eye or become like another member of our eclectic Marvel family - even though she wasn't actually in any of the movies?

I was so thankful I'd been given the chance to play Bucky; I wouldn't have this family, my best friends or the love of my life if I'd never taken the role. I'd finally found the place where I belonged - with Sadie.

I woke up feeling like something was wrong. Sadie had moved away from me in her sleep and was curled into a tight ball on the other side of our king sized bed. I reached over to pull her close again, stopping when she resisted.

"You okay, doll?" I rasped groggily, leaning over her and rubbing her shoulder lightly. "What's wrong?" I brushed her hair out of her face to see that she was awake, her eyes screwed shut and her arms pressed to her abdomen in a way I recognized.

"Cramps?" I asked and she nodded, exhaling slowly. "I'll grab your pills, doll." I kissed her shoulder before rolling away and getting out of bed. Sadie didn't usually get period cramps, but when she did, they were awful - doubling her over in pain to the point she found it hard to move out of fetal position. "Where are they?"

"Bathroom?" she huffed, sounding unsure. "Can't 'member if I packed 'em."

"I'll find something," I promised, turning on the bathroom light to search through the amber bottles in her toiletry bag for the right one. Not seeing it, I grabbed the bottle of Motrin and the muscle relaxants from a back injury she'd received during filming a while back that she'd forgotten here. I turned on the bedside lamp and handed her the bottles to let her decide what to take.
