Chapter 4
You stare at him for a moment confused. If not from the nightmares what was it from? What could he be thinking?
Y/N: Um . . . stomach bug?
He rolls on his stomach walking his fingers up your thigh to your hip using his other hand to lift your shirt just above your navel, kissing your belly lightly.
Y/N: . . . wait, you don’t think. . .
B: I mean it’s possible. . .
Sitting up taking your face in his hands he sees tears of fear in your eyes.
Y/N: It’s too soon, I have no idea ho to raise a baby what about . . .
Stopping you mid sentence to pull you into him, his lips crash into yours.
B: Hey, it’s gonna be ok, we’re not even sure that’s what it is. I’m right here doll, through whatever.
Calming down as he wraps you in a tight hug. You gently nod into his shoulder. The two of you stay locked together before he offered to go to the store. You opted to stay here while he went. About five minutes after he had left Wanda came in to check on you.
W: Hey, How are you doing?
Y/N: Um . . . I’m not sure. Bucky isn’t sure it’s from the nightmares
She looked a little confused at first but then a bright smile of shock and excitement took over.
W: This is so Exciting! Have you told any one else yet?
Y/N: Well we’re not even sure yet, he went to go get a test and some sleep aids.
Seeing how much joy and excitement was in her face did make you feel better.
W: We gotta tell Nat, she would LOVE this!
Y/N: Yeah but I have no idea what to do when it comes to kids, hell I was bearly a kid when I WAS a kid and even if I am I wanna be sure before everyone finds out, but I guess it would be good to have the girls’ support . . .
Just bearly being finished you could hear Wanda excitedly tapping away on her phone followed by the biggest smile you’d ever seen on her face. No more then five minutes went by went by when the door came open, a worried Natasha behind it as she anxiously looked at you.
N: Hey what’s wrong? Wanda said you had big news and Bucky took out of here in a hurry.
You look at Wanda, feeling more relaxed about the situation you gesture for Natasha to join the two of you on the bed.
Y/N: Bucky doesn’t think it’s from the nightmares, me getting sick. He um, thinks I could be pregnant.
Natasha looked between you and Wanda for a moment before wrapping you in a tight hug. Just as she lets go Bucky walks through the door.
B: Um I guess you two know then?
Natasha and Wanda both look at him smiling with wide eyes. Wanda practically skips over to give him a hug as he was walking over to sit next to you.
B: So are we gonna tell everyone?
Y/N: Well the girls always told me it was better to take these in the morning and I think we should know for sure first
W: Oh I know! You could wait until Tony’s Halloween party in a couple weeks to tell everyone, I mean if you are
Seeing the uncertain look on your face rising, Natasha takes your hand.
N: Don’t worry. We’re all here with you.
Showing a slight smile of reassurance you bring your free hand to Bucky’s cheek.
Y/N: I guess we find out tomorrow then.
You still weren’t sure how any of this was going to work. You had probably a million questions running through your head but knowing you had the support of your new found family put your mind at ease quite a bit. The four of you sit there talking and laughing when Wanda asked you a question you hadn’t thought of yet.
W: So have you thought of what your going to do for Halloween?
Y/N: You know what, I hadn’t really thought about it.
W: I think I’m gonna go as Wednesday from The Addams Family
N: Well Bucky could go as a rockstar, he’s got the eyeliner for it
You and Wanda couldn’t help but giggle at Natasha’s light teasing. It did give you an idea for your costume though. Leaning over and grabbing your laptop you begin looking up princess style ball gowns. You were scrolling through when you come across one in particular that you could not pass up.
Y/N: I know what we’re doing but I’m not telling you. All I’m saying is you need a tux.
You hand the laptop to Wanda and Natasha who see the phantom of the opera gown.
W: That’s exquisite, but where are you gonna get that?
Y/N: I mean there’s gotta be somewhere right?
N: Well we have two weeks, I’m sure we can find something
After dinner you wanted to take one of those sleeping pills but Bucky didn’t want to take any chances. The two of you lay there watching some movie he had picked out. He was playing with your hair softly until you fell into an uneventful slumber in what seemed like ages. You found yourself entangled in a cocoon of limbs the following morning. The warmth was enough to make you want to nuzzle deeper into him. You let out a soft moan as he instinctively pulls you into him. Bringing his hand up to your mouth he covers the bottom of your mouth.
B: Sssshhhh. None of that yet
Trying to get him to move his hand you lick him, to no avail he let out a small laugh at your attempt though.
B: I’ve had you all over my face, your gonna have to try harder then that doll
He kisses your forehead gently and releases you to get up.
Y/N: I’m coming back for the warmth
You almost forgot you had to take that test when you hurried off to the bathroom when you saw the box on the counter. Taking a deep breath you open the box, peed on the stick and washed your hands as you waited for the results. It seemed like an eternity when you heard a knock on the door before Bucky came in. Noticing the test on the counter, he sits beside you on the floor beside the tub.
B: . . . Have you looked at it yet?
Y/N: Not yet.
B: Want me to tell you?
Y/N: Look with me?
You had placed it face down on purpose. You take a deep breath as he pulls down the test. Sliding his hand in yours he flips it over. Positive. There was gonna be a baby here before anyone knew it.
B: You ok?
Y/N: I am actually. I thought I’d be more scared but I’m ok now.
He helps you up off the floor pulling you in for a tight hug smiling.
Y/N: I require coffee and sustenance.
The two of you get dressed and head down stairs to fresh blueberry muffins and hot coffee. Wanda was looking just as bright and excited as ever.
W: Well . . .
Y/N: Well . . . I um
Just then Banner and Tony walk in from the hall.
T: Hey feeling better they said you’d been getting sick.
Y/N: I um, I’ve developed quite the appetite after that, I’m better now like I’m eating for me and my inner b!tch
Wanda’s eyes got so big you thought they were gonna pop out of her skull. Only Banner seemed to notice but before he could say anything Tony cut him off.
T: Good. That’s good. Um, Wanda they need you on mission, shouldn’t take more then a couple days, and I want Y/N to take it easy for a couple days.
Wanda nods and basically skips to hug you before going to get ready. Tony and Banner both exchange a confused look before deciding it was nothing. The next few days flew by while Wanda was gone. The day after she got back you were eating lunch when both Natasha and Wanda came to get you, Wanda practically bouncing.
N: We got a surprise for you, it’s in Wanda’s room but wash your hands first and come up there
You give them both a confused look as you swallow your last bite but you comply and follow the girls to Wanda’s room. Before they open the door Natasha covers your eyes. You hear the door close and Natasha uncovers your eyes. There was an off white ball gown with little pink roses accenting the bottom half of the dress, a traditional corset style strapless top.
Y/N: Oh my god! You guys it’s perfect, where did you find this?
N: I called in a few favors
W: Well, try it on I wanna see it!!
Y/N: Bet! I’m excited too!
The inside felt like silk and even the pars on the corset seemed to fit your skin perfectly. Your chest was bearly contained but it looked good.
N: Now all we have to do is make your hair go with it and it’ll be perfect
Y/N: That sounds perfect, I don’t think I’ll be wearing outfits like this for a while after this
W: Aww We’ll keep you in shape.
The next week and a half was hard to keep suspicions down between the morning sickness and making up excuses not to let Banner do blood work. Even Loki was beginning to get concerned for your health. The Halloween party was tomorrow night, all you had to do was hold off until then. The only problem was the nightmares were back. Not as often as before, but clearer, almost like a memory or something else. The morning of the party you had your usual bout of morning sickness, light breakfast and a quick run. You went to get lunch when you noticed Loki with a perplexed look on his face as he sits, staring at you.
Y/N: Can I help you . . . ?
L: I know something’s going on. I just can’t seem to figure out what. You want to tell me?
He takes a step forward attempting to touch your face to read your mind causing you to quickly step away.
L: Someone’s quite jumpy this afternoon.
Y/N: No, I just have a lot of things to get to before this afternoon.
You dip out of the kitchen and up to your room to jump in the shower. Remembering you had a nail appointment before the party you throw on some black yoga pants and a hot pink V-Neck shirt with your favorite galaxy converse.
B: Where are you going all dressed up?
Y/N: I have an appointment with Natasha and Wanda before the party tonight.
B: Is that right? You gonna tell me what we’re going as?
Y/N: You’ll see soon enough
Kissing him on the cheek you head out the door. Wanda met you at the door as you were ready to go.
W: Nat’s already there so I figured we could just ride together
Y/N: That’s fine with me but we have to get a shake on the way
W: Oooohhh ok that’s fine with me
The salon was empty except for the technicians and Natasha. Wanda got a firey design, Natasha went with a more classic pearl color and you had a pearl base with a pale pink rose outline. The three of you finish and head back to the compound to get ready sneaking past the boys up to Wanda’s room where you had stashed the gown. You had just finished your makeup and putting waves in your hair when there was a knock at the door. Before any of you could answer the door opened. Much to your relief however, it was just Pepper.
P: Hey I just wanted to make sure you were ok
Y/N: We were just getting dressed actually, we thought you might be one of the boys trying to sneak a peak.
P: Oh no they are all gathered down there talking. Bucky doesn’t even Know what he’s supposed to be but it’s sharp.
With that being said Natasha pulls out your gown. She was dressed as a 1920’s call girl, Wanda was a demon woman and you were going as Christine from The Phantom Of The Opera.
P: Now it makes sense
Y/N: I hope so, cause it’s gonna be a while before I’m this size again
Pepper looks at you confused
P: What do you mean?
Both Natasha and Wanda start smiling as they finish up with the back of your gown that you had slipped into.
Y/N: I’m . . . I’m pregnant.
P: Oh my god! Congratulations! Does Bucky know yet? This is exciting!
Y/N: Actually, he and I were going to tell everyone tonight
P: That is just fantastic I am so happy for you two
N: Right well we better get down there, hey Pepper would you mind delivering this Phantom mask to Bucky before our debut?
P: Yeah I’ll tell him you all will be down in a moment.
You pull on some satin white gloves that come up to your elbows and classic white knee high tie boots as you prepare to make an entrance. All eyes were on you as the three of you made your way down to the party. Bucky was caught a little off guard as you reach the end of the stairs.
B: Wow. You um . . . you look stunning
Y/N: Well thank you. You clean up very well yourself. So um . . . are you ready for this?
Bucky kisses your forehead gently as you take a deep breath
B: Come on, everyone is waiting over here.
Your nerves were shaky but you let Bucky lead you over to the table. Tony had an assortment of drinks out there for everyone for some sort of game.
T: You two want to join us for this? Surely you both know about drinking games right?
Y/N: I um . . . I can’t, or don’t feel like drinking actually
Loki was sneaky as ever appearing beside you as if he just came from thin air.
L: Well where’s the fun in that?
Y/N: Geez, well your just as creepy as ever.
N: Isn’t that kinda his thing?
T/O: Come now, Loki may be greasy and weaselly but not necessarily creepy
L: Thank you for that.
T/O: Certainly brother after all what is family for
You feel Bucky snake his hand around your waist. You love how he was so protective of you, even before now.
T: So what was this big announcement that Bucky was telling us about?
L: Please I’m sure everyone is intrigued Bucky takes your hand as you inhale deeply before the big news.
Y/N: . . . I’m um . . . I’m
B: We. We are.
Y/N: Right. We are um . . . We’re pregnant.
T: Oh! Well congratulations, drinks all around, well except for you, Everyone, we’ve got to celebrate!
P: Come on, I’ll give you a soda pop while the boys celebrate
The whole evening was filled with music dancing and of course drinking. Thor and Loki even gave Bucky some of Asgard’s finest. The girls were all circling you talking and giggling in excitement about the baby. It wasn’t until almost daylight that you were practically dragging Bucky to bed. Loki walks up beside you to help.
L: Maybe giving him this much was not the best of plans.
Y/N: Yeah well thank you for helping me get him up here.
The two of you place Bucky on the bed. He lays back across the bed with a smile on his face.
B: I. . . I love you. Come to. . . Come to bed doll.
Y/N: Ok babe, you crawl up there, I’ll be up there in a minute.
L: Well I suppose I will see you around.
Y/N: I suppose so, thank you again oh and you know I was just having fun when I called you creepy right?
L: Of course, it was after all a party for you Midgardians to scare each other was it not?
Y/N: Right, well um goodnight then.
You go to unzip your dress having kicked your shoes under the bed already. As you realize you can’t reach the zipper you turn to see Bucky looked like he was passed out, lukily Loki had just made it to the door.
Y/N: Oh Loki, one minute, can you um, . . . can you help me with this?
L: But of course.
He quickly unzipped the dress to reveal the corset. With little to no effort he loosened the strings in record timing. His fingers delicate to the touch as if he had practice.
Y/N: Not your first time is it?
You can hear him chuckle in the darkness.
L: Only a time or two. If that will be all I will take my leave now.
Y/N: Well thank you.
