Daughter of the Winter Soldier

Chapter Sixteen

Sam’s P.O.V
It has been a couple of weeks since Gracie was born and I’ve been spending most of my time with her and so did bucky and I felt arms wrap around me and I looked up to see Nina and I smiled, “where’s Lucas” she asked as she kissed my cheek, “Bucky took him out for Lunch and probably out to the mall or something after” I told her as a smile grew on her face as she went over to the kitchen to grab something to drink, “thats nice, I’m glad my dad is able to spend time with them even though neither one of us thought we would get a life like this but I’m glad we did and we don’t get nightmares anymore” she said as she came back and sat down next to me and caressed Grace’s cheek as she looked down at her with love in her eye’s and does the same with Lucas as well. After a few hours, Bucky came back with Lucas and saw that he had a few bags in his hands as he tried to carry Lucas as he was asleep, “where did you guys go” Nina whispered with a chuckle, “I decided to spoil the kid, and I also got us all a few things as well and he fell asleep on the way back” he said as Nina gently took Lucas from Bucky and carried him as she kissed his head and brought him to his room and came back, “you didn’t have to get me anything dad” Nina said, “I know but I never got the chance to do so years ago before we got this” he said with a small smile and I couldn’t blame him from what they been through in the past and I smiled as I watched her look to see what he had gotten her and she smiled when she grabbed a few books from the bag, “finally, I've been wanting to get new books lately” she said and I chuckled, “I’m guessing you don’t have these ones yet” Bucky said and she shook her head no, “no I don’t but they look interesting and I bet they will be interesting when I read them” she said as she put them down and gave him a hug and after a while, Nina took Grace and brought her to her room to put her down for a nap after she fed her and changed her.

Nina’s P.O.V  
After a while I decided to put little Gracie down for a nap after I fed and changed her and not long after that I heard Lucas calling for me and went to his room and saw him sitting up in his bed as he looked upset as he rubbed the sleep out of his eye, “what’s wrong baby, why are you upset” I asked him as I sat down as he cuddled up next to me, “bad dweam” he said and I kissed the top of his head, “it will be alright baby, it was just a dream” I said to him and picked him up as he held onto his stuffed teddy bear that my dad got him earlier today and went into the living room and sat next to Sam and sat Lucas on my lap as he faced me and continued to cuddle, “is everything alright buddy” Sam asked and Lucas reached out to him and Sam grabbed him and sat him on his lap, “he had a bad dream” I told him and Sam kissed the top of his head, “are you hungry buddy” I asked him and he nodded, “ok stay here with daddy and I’ll get you something to eat alright” I said and got up and went into the kitchen and grabbed a few grapes and put it in a bowl for him and heard someone walk in and saw that it was my dad, “hey, how was your day with Lucas” I asked him and he smiled, “it was good, he had a good time, I took him out for lunch and went to the mall for a short while and I thought I would get him a few things and got you the books and I got something for Sam for his birthday tomorrow” he said and I began to think to myself at how I completely forgot about Sam’s birthday, “damn it, I was busy with the kids lately that I forgot about Sam birthday” I said to him as I leaned against the counter and rubbed my forehead, “hey it’s alright, I'm sure he isn’t expecting much but that is if you want to get him something” he said and I sighed, “alright, I’ll get something after I’m done in here with Lucas’s snack” I told my dad as he kissed my head, “Love you Nina” he said as he walked out of the kitchen.
As I finished up and got Lucas cleaned up from his snack he went over to my dad and sat with him and I decided to go out for a bit to get something for Sam’s birthday, “hey I’m going to go out for a bit, are you guys going to be alright with the kids” I said to them and they both nodded and I smiled and walked out the door and headed to the car and drove to the mall. By the time I go there and finally found a parking spot, I walked through the front doors of the mall and went to look through a few stores until I found something I think Sam would like and paid for it and as soon as I walked out of the store, I suddenly bumped into Pepper and her daughter Morgan, “hey guys how are you doing, been a while” I said to her as we hugged, “we’ve been pretty good thanks, so what are you doing I heard you had your baby to” Pepper said with a smile, “I’ve been well and ya I did I had a girl and named her Grace” I said, “that’s a cute name, where are the boy’s I saw they’re not with you” she said to me, “well they’re both home with the kids and I came here to get Sam something for his birthday tomorrow and now that I think about it, do you and Morgan want to come tomorrow, I’m sure Morgan wants to meet little Gracie” I told her and she nodded and Morgan became excited, “yay we get to go to Auntie Nina’s tomorrow” Morgan said and Pepper and I giggled at her excitement and the both of us walked to a spot for us to sit at while we continued to talk for a while until it was time for us to get going, “it was nice seeing you Pepper” I said as I hugged her and bent down to hug Morgan, “It was nice seeing you to Nina, enjoy the rest of your day” she said with a smile and heard Morgan say goodbye, “Bye auntie Nina” Morgan said with a big smile, “bye sweetie” I said to her and we went our separate ways and drove home.
By the time I got home and walked through the door I was greeted by Lucas quickly walking up to me and I picked him up, and gave him kisses, “how was your day” I said to them, “it wasn’t bad, what took you so long at the mall anyways” my dad said and looked over to him, “I bumped into Pepper and her daughter Morgan I also asked if they wanted to come over tomorrow, thought it would be nice for Morgan to meet little Gracie” I said to them, “that’s nice, haven’t seen them in a while” Sam said with a smile and noticed that Sam didn’t have Grace with him, “by the way where is Grace” I said to them, “I put her down for a nap” he said and I went to kiss the top of his head before I went to Sam and I’s room to wrap his birthday present for tomorrow after checking on Grace to see that she was sleeping peacefully and I smiled to myself as I gently kissed her forehead and went to my room. By the time I was done I heard Grace begin to cry and I quickly went to her room and gently picked her up and began to sooth her as she began to calm down and decided to change her diaper before I went to make her a bottle before I started to make dinner and did what we usually do and spent time as a family as I cuddled up to Sam as he held Grace in his arms until it was time for her and Lucas to go to bed and got changed into something a little more comfortable and went to bed ourselves. 
It was the next day and it was Sam’s birthday and I made him and everyone breakfast, “happy birthday Sammy” I told him and he walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek, “thank you” he said as he made himself a cup of coffee. After a few hours of hanging out I heard a knock on the door and saw that it was Pepper and Morgan when I opened it and let them in and Sam and Bucky walked up to us and they hugged each other, “hey Pepper long time no see” Sam said as she smiled, “it's good to see you to Sam, Bucky” she said and we walked into the living room, “oh and before I forget I also got something for Sam if that’s alright” Pepper said and I nodded, “thank you pepper, I’m sure he will appreciate it” I told her as I continued to watched Morgan play with Lucas and Grace. It had been a few hours and I decided to make dinner for all of us and notice Pepper stand at the entrance of the kitchen, “mind if I help you make dinner” she asked, “are you sure, I wouldn’t want you to miss out the fun out there” I said and we both giggled, “ya of course, I don’t mind helping” she said and the both of us began to cook. After about an hour, Pepper and I finally finished cooking dinner and told the others and they came to the table and grabbed what they wanted and by the time we were done, Pepper, my dad and I gave Sam his presents, “thank you guys, you really didn’t have to get me anything, but thank you again” he said as he opened his presents and after a while Pepper and Morgan had decided that they are going to head home and we all said our goodbyes and they walked out the door and the rest of us just relaxed after putting the the kids to bed and we did the same after a while and I cuddled up to Sam, “I had a good day today, thank you” he said to me as he kissed the top of my head and I looked up to him with a smile on my face, “your welcome, I love you” I said as I kissed him, “I love you to” he said and we both fell asleep.
