steve ran into the hospital, pulling bucky behind him. "we're here for the- babies."
bucky laughed, since steve didn't specify who they were.
"right this way, mr. america?"
bucky laughed harder as they followed the doctor. when they stopped in front of the door, his laughter faded.
steve was about to step in the doors when he noticed bucky's face. he stopped. "what's wrong?"
bucky froze. "i don't know if i'm ready for this. what if i mess up? what if i'm bad at this."
steve chuckled. "it's going to be fine. besides, it's a little too late to back out now."
bucky shook his head. "you're right." he thought of what they would look like. they hadn't wanted to know the genders, since they had everything unisex anyway. "let's go see our babies."
steve kissed him. "do you think they'll be boys or girls?"
bucky pushed the door. "maybe both."
the nursery was filled with babies, making bucky stop. which ones were his? should he know? bucky shook his head. it was fine. everything would be okay.
"this way," the doctor walked to the middle of the room. "here are your babies, mr. rogers and er, mr. rogers?"
steve leaned over and cooed. "both, it is."
a boy and girl laid beside each other. "are they supposed to be that close? i thought every baby had their own bed."
the doctor nodded. "well. they're both healthy babies, but they cried until they were put together."
both babies were awake, looking at steve. bucky leaned beside him. "hello, loves."
the doctor smiled at them. "i'll leave you two alone with them. if you need anything, i'll be right outside."
they nodded distractedly. then steve spoke up as he was halfway out the door. "can we touch them?"
"of course. do you want to hold them?"
"not yet..."
"that's okay. just be careful."
immediately, bucky reached a finger out. he ran it down the boy's face. "so soft." his heart soared as the baby smiled. "what are we going to name them, steve?"
steve grabbed bucky's other hand. "i have some ideas."
"me too." bucky kissed steve's hand. "what about freddie joesph? after my mom and your dad."
steve grinned. "i love it. and we can name her brooklyn?"
bucky chuckled. "yeah, yeah. let's do it."
"brooklyn mae?"
"perfect." bucky kissed steve's cheek then leaned back over the babies. his babies, their babies. "i'm going to get the doctor so we can hold them."
steve nodded as bucky walked out the door.
"hey, doc?" the doctor looked toward him. "could we hold them?"
"of course. i'm about to take a lunch, but they can help you," he gestured to the nurses standing behind him.
the nurses led the way back inside. the first one grabbed the girl, "who gets who?"
steve reached for her, "i'll take her."
bucky watched in awe as steve smiled at the baby that was now in his arms. this was his family now. "have you decided on names?"
bucky reaches for the boy. his hand under the baby's head, which he brought to his lips. "freddie."
"and brooklyn."
the nurses smiled. "those are cute."
steve nodded distractedly. he didn't know who to look at. his daughter or his son? he had only ever been in love with bucky, but now there were two more people in his heart. "i'd do anything for you," he whispered to brooklyn.
the nurse touched his arm lightly. "you know, we were kind of suspicious of two superheroes being dads."
steve's heart dropped. he thought people were okay with boys liking boys now?
the nurse immediately shook her head. "no, no. not because you're gay. that's not a problem. i just meant that we weren't sure if you'd be prepared." she tilted her head. "i'm not sure how to explain it, but either way, i know now that i was wrong."
the other nurse added, "we've seen a lot of dads holding their babies and there have only been a few others that look at their babies like you're looking at yours. you'll be great fathers."
bucky smiled. "thank you."
the nurse dropped her hand. "we'll leave you alone again."
then they walked out.
steve and bucky stepped closer together, holding the babies together. "have you ever been so in love?" bucky watched the babies adoringly. they were parents now. it hadn't been real until his babies were in his arms.
the boy opened his mouth at bucky's words, making him coo.
"i've been close," steve kissed bucky's head. then brooklyn's, and freddie's. "this is amazing, buck."
"thank you for everything, stevie. i'm so in love with you and i can't wait to raise these kids together."
his words caused steve's heart to soar. who knew being a dad could feel so good?
