Daughter of the Winter Soldier

Chapter Nineteen

Bucky’s P.O.V 
It had been a few years since Steve’s death and it somehow triggered nightmares of Elizabeth’s death and when I woke up in the middle of the night to Nina calling me, “what happened” I asked as she let out a sigh of relief, “I heard you screaming, we all did” she said as I looked over to the door to see Sam, Lucas and Grace standing there and I let out a sigh of frustration as Nina nodded for them to leave, “ever since Steve’s death I’ve been getting them about your mother, his death must have triggered them a few years ago and been having them every once and awhile ever since” I told her and she hugged me as I began to cry, “everything is going o be alright, you still have us don’t ever forget that alright dad” she said and I nodded and we continued to talk for a few more minutes until the both of us had gotten tired and went back to bed. The next morning I woke up to the smell of coffee and slowly got out of bed and walked into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee and went to sit down next to Nina, “how did you sleep after” she asked and I sighed, “I couldn’t fall back asleep afterwards so I didn’t sleep well” I told her and we spent the day hanging out with each other and I decided to go out and spend the day with Nina, “hey Nina I was wondering if you wanted to spend the day with me since we haven’t been able to for a while” I asked her and she smiled and nodded and we both decided to get changed and she told Sam what we will be doing before we left.
It had been about an hour or so since we finally arrived at the mall and sat down after getting a few things for ourselves and had a coffee and had a nice conversation about a lot of things and had a few laughs and had a good time as we finally forgot about everything we have been through for once and it was the best feeling in the world knowing that I was finally truly happy for the first time in years and after a while longer we both decided to head home and as we walked through the door Sam, Lucas and Grace were all making dinner and Nina and I smiled and we brought everything to our rooms and I snuck something into Grace and Lucas’s room before walking back into the living room as we all started eating and for the rest of the night we did what we usually did and hung out as a family and decided to watch a movie marathon of comedy movies and we all went to bed after a few hours. The next morning I woke up to Lucas and Grace running into my room and hugged me and I laughed, “what are you guys so excited about” I asked them as I sat up and sat on the edge of my bed, “we wanted to say thank you, mom said you got these for us” Grace said as she looked at the necklace I got her and the bracelet I had gotten Lucas, “and we really like them” Lucas said as he looked up from the bracelet he already had on his wrist, “I’m glad you guys like them” I said as I hugged them both as I got out of bed and went into the living room to see Sam and Nina sitting next to each other on the couch, “hey dad how did you sleep” Nina asked me with a small smile on her face, “not bad, didn’t have any  nightmares last night” I told her and her smile grew bigger as she got up and walked over to me and hugged me tightly, “hey dad, do you want to help me make breakfast” she asked and I happily agreed and helped her. Not long after we had finished eating, Nina said that she had an Idea, “hey I’ve been thinking, did any of you want to go to the fair that had just opened up down the road after lunch” she said and the kids had gotten excited as they hugged Nina and we all chuckled at their excitement and a few hours, we had finally finished eating lunch that Nina had made and began to get ready for the fair and after we finished and made sure we had everything we needed and headed out the door and drove to the fair.
As soon as we got there and got out of the car after finding a parking spot, Lucas and Grace were in awe as we all began walking towards the entrance and as soon as we walked in Lucas and Grace wanted to go on the rides first and the five of us all decided to go on the rides together and after going on all of the rides, we were all laughing as we were having a good time and began to start playing the games and won a few prizes and stuffed animals and after a few more hours it was starting to get late and we all headed home for the night and we all got into something a little more comfortable and watched T.V as we ate popcorn until we all decided to go to bed for the night. As I laid there in silence I began to think to myself about everything that Nina and I had been through and the certain things that had brought a big smile to my face was the day Nina was born and the day I was able to walk my only daughter Nina down the aisle on her wedding day and the days she had given birth to Lucas and Grace were that most important and best days of my life and I wouldn’t change that for anything else in the world and after a few more minutes I finally fell asleep with the biggest smile on my face as I realized that I was finally happy, truly happy for the first time in years since the War.        
 
Nina’s P.O.V
A few minutes after the four of us woke up, Grace and Lucas ran over to me and showed me what they had in their hands, “we found these on our beds last night before we went to bed” Lucas said and I smiled, “your grandpa got them for the both of you, do you guys like it” I asked them and they both smiled and went to my dads room and I sat down on the couch next to Sam and after a few minutes of watching a little bit of T.V, the kids came back with my dad behind them with a smile on his face, “hey dad, how did you sleep” I asked and he nodded, “not bad didn’t have any nightmares last night” he said and I smiled as I got up from the couch and hugged him and decided to make breakfast and decided to ask dad, “hey dad, do you want to help me make breakfast” I asked and he nodded and we walked into the kitchen and began to make breakfast for all of us and after we finished eating I had an Idea of going to the fair that had just recently opened up that wasn’t far from the house, “hey I’ve been thinking, did any of you want to go to the fair that just opened up down the road after lunch” I asked and the kids got excited and jumped for joy and after a few hours we finally left after we had just finished eating lunch and we quickly got in the car and drove off. As we finally got there, we all went on the rides together and played the games and won a few stuffed animals and after hours of having fun, it started getting late and we all decided to head home and when we did we all got into something a little more comfortable and sat in the living room and watched T.V for the night and ate popcorn until we all went to bed for the night and I cuddled up next to Sam and I stayed up a little longer thinking about everything that had happened throughout my life and I began to smile when I started to think about Sam and I’s wedding and the times when I gave birth to Lucas and Grace and that I now finally get to have a normal life with my dad and Sam and our kids and I couldn’t have been more grateful with how my life turned out after Hydra and I finally fell asleep with a smile on my face.
