A Stucky Story

The Asset and Thanksgiving part 1

Thanksgiving certainly wasn't the favorite holiday in the world and got overlooked because of Christmas. But this year's Thanksgiving was a special one.

This will be Bucky's first Thanksgiving since he fell and his first with the Avengers. Everyone was excited about it, but also a little concerned that Bucky would get overwhelmed with everyone being there and also that he would be limited to what he ate. So in order to ease Bucky into Thanksgiving, Steve started putting more solids into his food. It was a work in progress, more choking and messy diapers, but he was getting them down.

Steve was also learning that Bucky hated vegetables. The only vegetable he could only ever get him to eat was mashed potatoes. Which was okay, but he needed to eat more.

Today for snack was only consisting of fruits and vegetables. Bucky picked around the carrot sticks and ate the blueberries. Steve left Bucky for one minute and saw that his plate was empty.

"What happened to your carrots, bud?"

"In tummy." He pointed to his stomach. Steve frowned but smiled.

"Just a minute ago, you refused to even look at them. Now you've eaten them? Do you know how odd that story is?" Bucky shook his head. Steve looked at Harley, he already knew Bucky had gave her the carrots. So Steve got up and got more carrots.

"Eat this." Bucky shook his head.

"So what happened to the carrots?"

"Doggy ate it."

"What did I tell you about giving your food to her?"

"No, give."

"That's right. So you are going to eat these four carrots right now." Bucky pouted. He didn't want these.

"No, please."

"Asking nicely will not get you out of eating your vegetables." Bucky refused, but daddy wasn't going to give him a treat if he didn't try. He took one carrot and bit it. Immediately, he spit it out.

"You get a whole carrot stick down, you'll get a treat." That seemed to motivate him a little. Bucky took another bit and swallowed. Chewing was still a big problem to deal with, so to save Bucky from choking too much he softened the carrots. Bucky took another bit, Steve knew he hated the carrots, but Bucky needed to learn that everything didn't center around sweets.

Bucky did managed to get the carrot down, he didn't like it but at least he tried.

"Thank you for trying, you can have a lollipop." Steve gave him a lollipop. Bucky quickly took it and drank his milk. Steve was about to lay on the couch with him then a door knock. He got up and open the door to Sam.

"Hey man."

"What are you doing here?"

"Did you get Tony's Thanksgiving dinner list?" Sam asked coming in.

"I haven't looked at my phone in a while, is it the usual stuff?"

"Let me just read it. Ham, turkey leg, corn bread, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy and bread rolls. Deserts include pumpkin pie that Steve will provide and apple pie. Any other foods must be approved by Tony and Steve. Also Steve must get in contact with Tony to make sure everything is alright for the kiddo."

"Okay, let's call him." Steve called Tony. Sam sat by Bucky, who smiled at him.

"Can I have a lollipop?" Bucky shook his head and pointed to him.

"Birdplane."

"Birdplane?" Sam asked. Steve mouthed sorry, then Tony answered.

"So do you approve of the list?"
