Bucky
Steve was asleep in a chair. He had bags under his eyes, and he looked even paler than usual.
The baby kicked.
Bucky grinned. He felt better knowing that his baby was still kicking.
"Buck, you're awake?" The relief in Steve's voice was palpable.
"Yeah, Stevie, doing fine."
"You need anything?"
"Breakfast sounds good."
"I'll be right back, then." Steve brought a plate piled with bacon and eggs and a large glass of orange juice.
Bucky moaned. He was suddenly ravenous.
"Bruce says you need to be on bed rest for the next few weeks. He says it's important you stay as relaxed as possible."
Buck nodded. "But she's ok?"
"Yeah, you're both going to be ok. We just need her to stay put a little longer."
"She's impatient like her daddy." Bucky glared at Steve.
"I really hope she's more like you."
"Why?"
"What if she's too much like me? What if she gets all the illnesses I had as a kid?"
"So, what if she does?"
"I want her to be healthy," Steve whispered.
"Things are easier than when we were kids. If she does have any of the stuff you did, there's medicine now that's a lot better than what you had."
"I know, but I'm scared, Buck"
"I know. I am too. What if she got the super serum? Hydra, Sheild, heck even the military will want her."
"We won't let that happen."
"It's no use worrying. We'll deal with it when we get there."
