What happens when you not only betray your best friend, but your family?
Steven Grant Rogers makes a grave mistake regarding Anthony Edward Stark, a mistake he will come to regret.
He makes a deal with the 'Devil' to get back the one he loves Jame...
3rd Person P.O.V- Bucky and Athena officially left the Avengers, leaving their pasts with SHIELD and HYDRA behind. Having moved into a six bedroom log cabin that's nestled by a private lake, literally in the middle of nowhere.
Athena- After twenty hours of hard labor and two nights at the hospital, the twins and I are home. (Smiles Happily)
Peter- Following my mom into the nursery, I help her into the rocking chair. (Smiles Brightly)
Bucky- Walking into the nursery beside my wife and our eldest, I set the car seats down and hand the twins to my waiting wife. (Smiles Fondly) "You did so good Athena, they are perfect!" I couldn't help but to continually praise my wife whom is a goddess.
Athena- Cradling the twins close as I slowly rock back and forth. (Smiles Tiredly)
Peter- I help my father put the bags from the hospital away and take the car seats back down stairs.
Bucky- Leaning down slightly, I press my lips to Thea's. (Hums) "May I tell the family of their arrival now?" I waited, rather impatiently to share the news of the twins arrival with our family back in the city as I wanted to give Thea a bit of time to heal from the ordeal and for us all to get acquainted as a family of five.
Athena- (Giggles) Bucky was practically Bouncing with anticipation. "Of course, Darling."
Bucky- Sitting at the window seat, I glance Thea for a moment, then back down at my phone as I write out a group message to our family;
'AVENGERS
I'd like to share the wonderful news that the twins; Arlo Bennet and Soren Rylan Barnes have arrived on May 21st at 12:15 am, two months earlier than planned. Mamma an babies are healthy, we are home now and here is a pic of when we were getting ready to leave the hospital.

Lots of love, the Barnes Family'
I send the message and then pocket my phone.
Athena- Carefully standing up as I balance the babies in my arms, I lay them in their cribs. (Hums Softly)
Bucky- Getting up from where I'm perched and walking up behind my petite wife as I rest a hand at her lower back. (Smiles Proudly) "We make beautiful babies."
Athena- (Smiles and Giggles) "We do."
Bucky- After watching our newborns sleep blissfully for ten minutes, I turn to my beloved fully as I wrap my arms around her slender waist. "I love you, so very much."
Athena- Wrapping my arms around my husbands neck as I rest my forehead against his own. "I love you too."
Bucky- Taking her left hand in mine as I press my lips to the diamond band on her finger. "I have you, Peter and the twins..." Pausing as I kiss at her delicate knuckles. "There isn't anything more I could ask for, or ever want."
Peter- Watching the lovey dovey scene from the door way, I walk in and squeeze myself between them. (Smiles Brightly) "Now what?"
Bucky- Putting a bit of space between us, so we don't squish the boy. (Chuckles Amusedly) I ruffle his hair.
Athena- Giving our eldest a hug as we all look to the twins whom are blissfully sleeping. "A new adventure awaits us."
Peter- (Smirks) Not able to help myself from quoting one of my favorite movies; "Unto the next great adventure!"
Bucky- (Shakes Head and Mutters) "He's so grounded from watching Disney."
Peter- (Playfully Pouts)
Athena- Wherever life takes us from this point forth, it's going to be an adventure. An adventure I wouldn't trade for the world. I'm thankful that Rogers screwed up so badly and Hydra was willing to fix me, because I got a second chance at life and with a family all my own, something I have always dreamed of having but never knew would one day be reality.
