Forever and Always (Bucky Barnes x OC) *Long Chapters*

Chapter Fifteen- Edited

Today marks five years since the snap. Since then, I've given birth to Violet, and Jade, my youngest daughters. But she wasn't the only born. They had a brother, Steven James Barnes. He was our first son and he was born stillborn. It destroyed me to know that I had a son and he didn't even get to have a life. I feel like I disappointed Bucky by not keeping our son alive. But I had to stay strong. For our daughters. They all looked like adults now and I really worry, will they stay alive or will they die within the decade? I can't think like that. I have to enjoy what time I have with all of my girls. The other girls gave "hero" names to Violet and Jade based on their abilities. Violet is Oracle and Jade is Resonance. Truly amazing like their sisters. They all worry about my mental health so they constantly recommend going to Therapy sessions. So, I decided to go to one of Steve's therapy sessions. It's good to know that Steve seemed to be doing fine in this somewhat dark time. 

I found the abandoned cafe where the poster "WHERE DO WE GO, NOW THAT THEY'RE GONE?" was hanging. I sighed before walking into the building. I found Steve in a circle with seven other people. I leaned against the door frame as the someone in the group spoke. 

"So, I, uh... Went on a date the other day. It's the first time in five years, you know? I'm sitting there at dinner... I didn't even know what to talk about." The man started. Steve listened. 

"What did you talk about?" Steve asked. The man sighed before continuing his story. 

"Same old crap, you know? How things have changed, and... my job, his job... How much we miss the Mets. And then things get quiet... He cried as they were serving the salads." The man explained. One of the other group members asked the first man a question. 

"What about you?" The first man shrugged as he crossed his arms over his chest as he sighed. 

"I cried... just before dessert. But I'm seeing him again tomorrow, so..." Steve nodded upon hearing this information.

"That's great. You did the hardest part. You took the jump; you didn't know where you were gonna come down. And that's it. That's those little brave baby steps we gotta take. To try and become whole again, try and find purpose. I went in the ice in '45 right after I met the love of my life. Woke up 70 years later. You gotta move on. Gotta to move on. The world is in our hands. It's left to us guys, and we got to do something with it. Otherwise... Thanos should have killed all of us." Steve said, glancing towards me after his little speech, sighing towards the end. He then stood up, as did everyone else, giving smiles all around. "Great session everyone. Really proud of everyone. Until next time." He said, shaking everyone's hands and one by one, they left the room, giving me kinds smiles as they passed me. I waited until everyone was gone before walking over to my brother. In fact, the last time I saw Steve was about three months ago, right before my mission. 

"Hey, Steve." I say softly as he smiles to me. 

"Hey, Ange." He said just as softly as I did. We pulled each other into a hug, not saying a thing. Just enjoying each other's company. We pulled away as he gently rubs my arm. "You look good, Ange." He said. I sighed as we walked towards the exit. "How was the mission?" He asked. 

"The mission went well. So well that I came back early. Though it would be nice to hang out with my big bro. Maybe go visit Danny and little Steve's headstones before heading over to see Nat. Want to tag along?" I asked. He gave a small nod while looking forward. 

"It's been a while since I've visited Danny so, yeah. I would love to come with you, Angie." He answered, smiling down at me. I smiled back. 

"Oh, and can we take your car? I flew here so I definitely don't have a ride." I say causing him to chuckle to me.
