Charlotte's pov

I was sat in the living room, holding a bottle up to Jacob's mouth. He reached his little hands up, grabbing at the bottle as he drank the milk. While he was drinking the bottle, I let out a quiet sigh. The house was in silence at the moment, everyone sleeping in their rooms.

That's why it surprised me when someone sat down on the couch next to me. I nearly dropped the bottle in surprise. I turned to look at who was sitting next to me. It was one of Sam's friends, Bucky I think his name was.

"Couldn't sleep?" I ask, adjusting my arms so that I had a better grip on Jacob. "Yeah. Why are you up?" he asks. I gesture to Jacob with my head. He nods. "You have a lot of kids. Where's the father?" he asks. "If you mean, where's my partner. Don't have one" I replied.

"Why?" he asks with a furrowed brow. "No one really likes the idea of taking care of seven kids that aren't theirs. I'm used to it by now. But I'm fine with it" I explain, smiling down at Jacob who's finished his bottle.

"Did you adopt all your kids then" "Yeah, I can't have kids myself but even as a kid, I wanted a family. That's what led me to adopting Lilith back when she was about 4. Poor kid had been taken from her parents" I explain with a sad smile.

"At the time, Sam was frequently visiting. To say he was surprised would be an  understatement. He had no idea what was going on when he was tackled to the ground by her" I add with a laugh, remembering how Lilith thought he was her new dad.

"Since then, he's just gone with the fact that I'll probably be adopting kids until I'm way into my 60's" I finish. Bucky laughs as well. A meow was quickly followed by Stitch jumping up onto Bucky's side of the couch, fur prickling with a hiss. I clicked my tongue and pet the side that I was on.

She pricks her ears ad walks across the back of the couch and settles down next to me. She nearly blew everything. "Sorry about her. She isn't big on strangers" I laugh nervously, bouncing Jacob about in my arms slightly. He gave a small giggle, reaching up his little hands to grab at my face.

I smile at him. "May I?" Bucky asks. I gently offer him Jacob. He takes him and holds him with such care. Jacob reaches a hand and takes a fistful of Bucky's hair, tugging on it. Both of us laugh. "I think he likes your hair" I laugh, watching as he tried to grab at more of the long brown locks.

"I guess he does" he laughs, his head tilted to the side so that Jacob could play with his hair. "Your really good with kids" I point out. "Yeah, well I grew up with Steve as my friend. I had to be the responsible one" he explains. I laugh again.

Maybe this could be easier than I initially thought it would be. If I can befriend him then maybe I can get close enough to him and the other avengers to carry out my orders. I hadn't planned for it but it was perfect. Hopefully it would work.
