It was now a month later and Christmas was right around the corner. The girls really never made up, and peter kind of held Charlotte near him every time one of them would get near her. At this point they didn't know who was more mad, Charlotte or peter. Bucky hadn't really been talking to Danielle either after the whole incident.
Charlotte was now 4 and a half months pregnant and was very quiet these days. It was now December 18th.
"Hey I'm going to get a tree, and once again tony isn't coming, anyone up for it?" Steve asked putting on his coat and hat.
"I'll go, I'm the only one not actually doing anything." Juliet smiled jumping off the couch.
Meanwhile Charlotte was sitting on the ground in the living room wrapping presents.
"Here you go." Peter said handing her a cup of hot chocolate.
"Thanks." She said softly and put it next to her.
"So how are you feeling?" Peter asked sitting on the ground in front of her.
"Physically Fine, mentally, ready to jump off a cliff." She sighed as she continued to wrap presents.
"Is there anything I can do?" He asked concerned.
"No. I just feel so bad that everything happened and now no one is talking to the other. I've heard Bucky talk to Steve about Danielle, and I don't know what to do." Charlotte sighed.
"I don't think there is anything you can do really. But you need to stop stressing."
Peter said getting onto his knees and moved closer to her.
"I just want things to be normal again." She said.
"They will, just give it time." Peter said wrapping his arms around her pulling into a hug.
Meanwhile Danielle was outside looking at the snow fall when Bucky walked out.
"Still not talking to me? Pretending I don't exist?" She asked.
"Look." He said turning around. "I've been going over this over and over again and I just can't come to a clear decision." He said.
"What are you talking about? It wasn't even us fighting." Danielle said.
"You know damn well what you did. Ruined Charlotte's day and now she is even more stressed. I get that you are jealous that everyone cares about her baby, but may I remind you she has died over three times?" Bucky asked walking closer to her.
"Come on, let's just work this out, like we always do." Danielle said.
"No...not this time," he said backing up from her.
"Buck? What are you doing?" She asked her heart dropping.
"I've put up with you, but this is where I draw the line. I think it's best if we take a break." He said.
"W-what? What about Lillian?" Danielle asked.
"We will figure something out. Like we always do." He said harshly and then walked off into the streets of New York. Danielle covered her face as tears streamed down her rosy cheeks.
Not too far away Juliet and Steve were looking at the different trees the place had to offer.
"So how big of a tree are we talking? We did walk here." Juliet pointed out.
"Well tony the rich guy wants a big tree. And don't worry I've got it taken care of. So just look for the tree that screams I'm rich look at me." Steve said. Juliet laughed and began looking around. Steve went the opposite way but couldn't help but keep looking at her. He quickly snapped himself out of it and continued to look for a tree.
