Polyamorous

Twentieth-century love

(y/n) didn't know why but Peter's weekend stay sparked something in her. She didn't know how it started but now for some reason, she started to notice more children and families on the street. Mother's holding babies on their hips, father's pushing children on swings, Parents holding their child's hands as they crossed the street. If she didn't notice that she notice rings. I woman showing off a ring to friends, a guy look through the jewel case, and she couldn't help but notice those holding hands with matching rings.

"hey ... you okay?" Pepper asked as she placed a hand on (y/n) shoulder "honey, you're looking off into Space. Do you see something you like?" They were on a shopping spree, along with Wanda and Natasha, so it made sense Pepper thought she saw something pretty in a window then dozed off. It wasn't until she followed (y/n) line of site that she saw what she was looking it. A couple in a baby store looking at baby clothes the woman had a noticeable bump and the man kept placing baby clothes on her stomach as if measuring her she kept laughing.

"Aren't they adorable," she said look away " That dress looks cute" and just like that she changed the topic but Pepper kept this moment in the back of her mind as they continued shopping. She would most definitely bring it up later.

"Oh My gosh you would look beautiful in that"

After shopping with the girls decided to refresh themselves at a sushi Hibachi grill place. Those girls loved their sushi. They were busy talking about the things they had bought when everyone noticed (y/n) looking far off again. She was looking at two females sitting at a table not far from them or more importantly the rings on their fingers as they held each other's hands.

"do you have something you want to tell us?" Natasha said not looking up from her food. (y/n) looked back at her food a bit embarrassed that she had been caught openly staring at the couple.

"sorry" she mumbled

" you've been spacing out all day today, what's wrong?" Wanda asked giving her full attention

"The rings" Natasha still not looking up, that sushi must be really good, " All day she's been looking at rings the jewelry shop, on fingers, in windows, she's looking at the rings on their finger"

Pepper and Wanda looked to (y/n) to see if she would confirm Natasha's observations. She avoided everyone gazes her sushi was looking very interesting, like a piece of art.

"Oh (y/n), do you want to get married? oh, how sweet-"

"we can't" (y/n) said quickly interrupting Pepper before she could ramble any further. " I mean not really. It's not allowed."

"says who" Natasha scoffs

"says the law. Marriage is between to people, not three. I can't get a cherry pie life"

"Okay and what about those guys from the churches that have like 4 wives and 24 children the law hasn't stopped them so why is it stopping you. You want your boys, you go get your boys"

"You know you don't have to sign the papers you could simply go and have a ceremony. Oh, I could plan it for you we'll make it so beautiful." Pepper said as she began to clap her hands so excited for a future wedding that wasn't even a possibility with it.

"you know neither of them has asked me, right?"

"it's the twentieth century I think you can ask now"

Steve had no clue how he stumbled on to this channel but here he was watching Four Wedding and before this, he was watching Say Yes To The Dress. He didn't know how he got on this channel or why he was still on this channel but here he was watching four different wedding and paying attention to every little detail. He didn't know why but it all seemed so fascinating to him. He was literally leaning in.

"what are you watching?" Steve jumped at the sudden voice it was Bucky, one of his lovers. He stood behind the couch with his arms folded on his chest as he stared at the tv intensely.

"Um... Four wedding. I stumbled across it while channel surfing and ...." he really didn't know how to explain himself but then again what was there to explain.

"what are they doing?" Bucky asked as he came around the couch and took a seat he seemed to just as interested in the show as Steve.

"Four women are competing to get a free honeymoon. They judge each other's wedding to see who has the best. The weddings are really beautiful. I mean that woman had her wedding on the beach but it was really windy." And that's how Steve and Bucky started a long ass conversation on weddings and wedding dresses. After a while, they got tired of the show and head Friday pull up youtube videos on proposals and baby reveals. They had no clue how they got there but here they were.

"what are you two doing?" Tony said as he came into the common room to find them watching a babies reveal on tv. They both turned around completely shocked and speechless. " are you to watching baby gender reveals?"

"maybe"

"why?" Tony asked looking completely bewildered.

"Um... we don't know"

"Aw, do you guys have baby fever. Are you having a baby?!" Tony got all excited and jumped on the other side of the couch. Captain America and the Winter Soldier were making super babies he was going to be a super uncle. He was so excited.

"NO, no we are not pregnant there is no baby yet. Calm down Tony" Bucky said.

"But you're thinking about babies and by your internet history marriage too. Have you talked to her? Are you planning to ask her?"

The truth was neither of them knew as t was something they never discussed. Marriage, kids, the future they never really sat down and discussed that kind of future they all wanted the picket white fence but never sat down and actually talked about getting a picket white fence. It back then marriage was between a man and a woman, besides those few hidden communities that allowed marriage, where a man had multiple wives, their kind of relationship, was unheard of and definitely not accepted. Now and days it was heard of, rare but there, but still not accepted. The three of them would never be able to marry it was illegal they would never be able to have children there would be questions and they would be looked down upon.

"we never talked about it it was never really an option," Bucky said, "I think we all wanted it but never thought we could have it so we never thought to talk about it. Plus we were in the middle of the war. I honestly didn't think we'd live long enough to get the cherry pie life."

As much as they wanted their picket white fence and family society didn't allow it back then and they feared the violent backlash so it was never discussed. But now society was a bit more open, freer, and flowing maybe they could have what they wanted now maybe the could build their picket white fence and family. Just maybe.

"Times are different ... do you think we could?" Steve asked looking up hopefully. Bucky looked a bit conflicted before turning all the way to Steve and taking both of his hands

"Steve... will you marry me?"

Steve chocked on the sudden proposal as he smiled and kissed Bucky "yes, of course, yes I love you"

Tony smiled as he watched them kiss and hold hands. "Alright Pepper and I'll be planning the wedding you guys should go get rings." Tony got up from his seat already making with Pepper on his phone.

"we haven't even asked her yet," Bucky said

"she loves the both of you what else could she say besides yes" Tony laughed as he left.
