Small bump.
Bucky was ecstatic.
He had snuck away from Steve during bed time and had made his way to the bathroom. He needed to check.
Steve had sent him out the previous day with his credit card and no spend limit and, like the typical omega he is, he spent it on clothes, cosmetics, home decor (seriously Steve that grey lamp was sooooo ugly) and finally… this.
Two little lines shined up at him from the plastic stick.
Two little lines. Two little pups growing inside him. He was thrilled.
He had no idea what to do with this information and had been pacing the bathroom for like twenty minutes now trying to figure out how to tell Steve.
He gently wrapped his hands over his flat tummy, rubbing one gently over the soft skin. “You're mamas real confused baby's” he whispered, smiling down at his stomach.
“Buck?” Steve said knocking on the door “are you okay in there?” Concern laced his alphas voice. “I can smell you from the bed… you smell worried buck”
Bucky chuckled, trust his alpha to pick up in the tiny changes in his scent. Bucky made a split second decision, and opened the bathroom door.
Before the adorably concerned expression could leave Steve's face, he shoved the test into his hands.
Steve looked confused (still adorable) before checking the results.
He was silent.
Bucky waited for agonising seconds that felt like hours. Was his alpha having second thoughts? Was he worried he'd chosen the right omega? Did Steve want him to get rid of them?
That last thought pulled a distressed whine from Bucky's throat, Steve's head snapped up in response, reaching out to hold his distressed omega.
“I'm gunna be a dad” he whispered into Bucky's hair.
He dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead to Bucky's stomach and holding the omegas hips with his hands tightly. “Thank you. Thank you Bucky. You can't even begin to imagine how proud I am of you and how fucking happy this makes me”
Steve's voice was strained and he could feel wetness on his tummy as Steve cried.
“You have given me the greatest gift I could hope for” he said kissing Bucky's hip. “W-when I was younger, just after I met you, they told me I might not be able to have pups. That I was too sick” he said quietly, his voice choked. “That's why I've been so intent with pumping you full every time I was so scared that none of them… that I would never be good enough to give you what you wanted. What WE wanted.”
“Stevie…” Bucky cooed, dropping to his knees in front of his alpha too, hugging his alpha close and letting his scent him deeply to help calm him down.
“And then YOU came in with your fucking magic and made dreams come true. You're an angel bucky I swear it” Steve pressed on, nuzzling his face in Bucky's neck.
“It took us both. We both made them Steve. And they will be beautiful and perfect and we will adore them.” Bucky smiled kissing Steve's head.
“Now cummon, come to bed” he tugged Steve up and pulled him towards the large fluffy bed (Bucky had fallen in love with TWO massive kings recently) and snuggled under the covers, soft nightie making him feel delicate and omegaly.
Steve joined him, snuggling beside him, holding his omega close, both hands on his stomach.
Bucky was drifting off when muttering from Steve woke him again gently, he was about to kiss Steve and tell him to settle down when he heard what the alpha was whispering.
“-and your mamas the best. He's so beautiful, I hope you get his features not my ugly mug but you'll be beautiful anyway. I mean if I landed your mommy it can't be that bad huh? And I'll teach you to ride bikes and play games and how to fix the TV And read you bedtime stories. Your mommy's more patient than me, and a helluva lot smarter so i'm going to leave actually teaching you to read to him-”
Bucky could have cried, his beautiful sensitive alpha cooing at his unborn pups? How could Bucky begrudge him that? Instead he simply kissed steves face again, allowing the alphas arms to protect him from the outside world.
“Night Stevie”
“Goodnight Bucky, goodnight pups” Steve said holding his little family close.
(Skip)
For the next few months Steve was on high alert. He made Bucky breakfast, refusing to let the omega out of bed for a second to come help. It was amazing, if a little burned.
“I was thinking we could go to the doctors today, and then shopping for the nursery” Steve said, laying beside him as Bucky ate, rubbing his stomach gently.
“Sounds good” Bucky responded, nuzzling into Steves chest for a second. “God you're so snuggly!” He joked as Steve held him there, not allowing him to pull away.
“I'm just all jacked up on protective hormones right now” Steve said smiling into Bucky's shoulder. “You smell so delicious”
Bucky laughed, pushing back the covers to go get dressed for the doctors. He chose something simple and comfortable as he would have to lift his top. A pair of skintight blue jeans, a red scoop neck long sleeved shirt and heeled Timberlands.
“You need a jacket!” Steve called emerging from his own wardrobe in a matching outfit, in a red Henley, jeans and timbs. “You will freeze!”
Bucky rolled his eyes but picked up a black trenchcoat and slung it over his shoulders. “Better?” he said sarcastically
“Yes” Steve countered, tucking his hand into bucky's back pocket as they walked out to the cars.
“ im getting you driving lessons” he said “you're gonna have to be able to run them to school and clubs and stuff. I bought you a range rover, the safest car on the market” he said running his hand down to squeeze Bucky's ass absently.
“I can already drive alpha!” Bucky smiled leaning into his side as they walked towards Steve's favourite car. “I took it as an extension. I even learned evasive driving to avoid paparazzi because you're famous” Bucky giggled
“My my! What a smart omega I have” Steve said, opening the door letting Bucky settle into the passenger seat before doing his seatbelt for him.
“Speaking about paps, we’re probably gonna have a few spot us kitten” he said, getting into his own side of the car, turning the key and letting the engine rumble to life. “I'm sorry”
Bucky just giggled “I like having my pictures taken Steve! Plus we can just ignore them” he said nonchalantly kissing Steve's knuckles
The drive was over quickly, it wasn't long until they were in the middle of the city. Steve parked in the stark tower carpark, And they walked up to Bruce's lab.
“So you've just come in for a scan today is that right?” Bruce . Bucky ran his hand over the now noticeable bump underneath his shirt, not massive, but definitely there.
“Yes.” Steve said anxiously, he was sitting in the chair beside the bed, looking nervously from the screen (witch was currently blank steve, it's literally just squiggles) to bucky and back to the doctor.
“Well, because of our advanced equipment, we should be able to tell you alignment and gender in this appointment. Do you want to know?” Dr Banner said rolling Bucky's shirt up and spreading it with the clear jelly.
“Um, I think so. Yes” bucky said looking at Steve, who nodded quickly.
“Okay so bucky just relax for me” Bruce said sliding the scanner across Bucky's stomach, looking up at the fuzzy grey-black screen.
“There we go! Jeeze, three little pups in there” Bucky said, pointing them out on the screen. Three little wiggling shapes, two bigger and one smaller.
“The one on the left here is a female alpha, middle is a male alpha and the little one over here is a little omega boy!” Bruce said, clearly extatic for them both.
“I'm so happy for you guys” Bruce smiled, Steve was grinning, holding Bucky's hand tightly and leaning down to kiss his hand.
Bucky was crying. Three little pups! One more than average! And a little omega for him to love and teach and play with and for Steve to dote on
And two rowdy alpha pups to playfight with Steve and protect their brother.
Steve and Bucky shared a look, both of them grinning at each other lovingly.
They were going to be parents.
(Skip)
“alpha! Look at this! Isn't it just precious!” Bucky said, fawning over a little blue onesie with elephant ears and a little tail.
“Aweeeee yes! Put it in the basket!”
They had already almost filled their cart, baby stuff piled high, toys and books and crinkly things and rings for them to bite.
Bucky had fallen in love with little boots and socks and clothes. The nursery was taking shape, Steve had painted the walls of the baby's bedroom a soft blue ombre so they wouldn't be too stimulated trying to sleep, and he'd painted the stars on their ceiling in glow in the dark paint, so when the lights went out they shone.
Bucky had made three little blankies, baby blue for his omega and deep peacock blue for his alphas. Spending hours patchworking and sewing a little elephant decal onto his omega baby's one.
While Steve had been in the workshop with Tony, carving beautiful, detailed rocking cribs, Bucky had sewn beautiful sheer white curtains to hang from the ceiling.
Bucky was massive now, and spent a lot of his time in the bath, playing with the rose petals and talking softly to his pups, telling them all about their daddy and how kind he is.
He can't wait for them to meet him.
