Darling

It took three hours before the two kids would fall asleep again. Even then they still clung to Tony and Bucky. They didn't want to let go so the four of them ended up sleeping together on the couch. At 3 the next morning Friday softly woke up Tony and Bucky. Which wasn't hard because Tony was used to waking up when she spoke, and Bucky was an assassin that didn't sleep well.

“We have to get you over to steve" Tony groaned as he stretched. The little girl was still fast asleep in his arms making any movement difficult. The little boy was clinging to Bucky like crazy. Tony moved closer to try and take him from Bucky. Bucky however, didn't want to let him go either.

“we have to give them a name today. Even if its temporary” tony said moving back a bit. He kinda liked this having the house filled with people thing.

“Boss might I suggest Anastasia and Zachary” Friday suggest knowing they where some of Tony's favorite names. Tony had always loved Anastasia after hearing about the missing princess. That and the one time he had met an Anastasia she was amazing. Truly left an impression on him. Zachary was the name of a few great people that he met and it had a really cool short version.

“what do you think Bucky?” Tony asked running his hands over her head in a calming manner.

“they sound great" Bucky said looking dg own in his lap. Bucky should have known better than to ask but he felt like he just had to “Would you mind if I take Zachary with me?”
“If Zachary wants to go and you promise to bring him back. Wanda isn't allowed to touch him or use her magic on him" Tony said looking at bucky with a slightly murderous look. Bucky knew that it wasn't really directed at him but the thought of Wanda hurting Zachary.

“Zachary hunny wake up" Tony called as he rubbed Zachary's back. The cute little blue eyed angel opened his eye half way.

“Do you want to go with Bucky on a run?” Tony asked softly. Zachary closed his eyes snuggling closer be for his eye popped open. He remembered what had happened yesterday.

“NO" He yelled suddenly scaring Anastasia awake. She looked around frantically looking for a threat.

“Hey its it's okay no worries. You don't have to if you don't want to” Tony said trying to stop the tears before they started. Bucky frowned but slowly tried to get Zachary to let go. He would be in trouble with steve if he didnt show up. He had hoped that with the kid they wouldn't ask him any questions while on the run.

“NO GO" he yelled again holding onto Bucky. Tony gave Bucky a look before looking back at Zachary.

“Zachary you have to let Bucky go. He'll be back soon to let you hug him. Anastasia and I are going to go downstairs to play with the pictures again. You can join us if you want" Tony said looking at Zachary in his eyes. Zachary looked to Anastasia then back to Tony and Bucky. Anastasia got the message and started search there minds. There she found what running would look like. She passed the message onto Zachary soon after finding it.

“See running is just going outside and using your legs for something called exercise” Tony said smiling knowing what had happened. Zachary soon nodded and clung to Bucky more.

“Will it make you feel better if Anastasia and Tony went to the park were going to run around?” Bucky asked because t by at would make him feel better.

“Or you could join Anastasia and I at the park and watch them run around" Tony added. After looking at Anastasia for a while he nodded.

“Well let's get you dressed and feed before leaving for the park" Tony said taking Anastasia to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Bucky stood and walked over to the boxes. There he held up a couple of different girls clothes before laying them out for Tony and Anastasia to choose from.

“what would you like to ware?” Bucky asked holding up two shirts saying what was written on them. Zachary choose the shirt that said “hero” in big letters. When Tony and Anastasia came out of the bathroom it was his turn to fight for teeth to be brushed. Bucky watched as the kid went from okay to ‘don't wanna’ fast. Tony peeked through the door.

“Zachary did you know there are monsters on your teeth? The only way to get rid of them is to brush your teeth twice a day or they'll eat your teeth” Tony said watching as Zachary made grabby hands at the toothbrush soon after he said that. He let Bucky brush his teeth and got dressed. Tony and the kids went to the park wile Bucky got Steve and Sam and began his run around the park.

“So you and Tony” Steve started looking at Tony playing with the kids. They had stopped playing every couple of minutes and watched them run past. Steve was worried that they where forcing Bucky to be there but it really did seem like the kids needed him there with them.
“What about him?” Bucky asked waving when he saw the kids watching them. Steve was glad he hadn’t seen Bucky smile in a long time.

“Are you two dating?” Steve asked slowing down just a bit. He wanted to have this conversation but not with the others around.

“No, no we aren’t dating” Bucky said but there was a longing to his voice as if it was all he wanted. Nothing made Bucky sound like that anymore, he didn’t have a need for anything. At least that’s what Steve had thought over the weeks that he had Bucky back. Thing is that Steve knew that he had burned that bridge with Tony years ago. Steve and Tony were never going to be even close to friends again. But Bucky and Tony was a new thing that hadn’t even been scratched at. It was up to Bucky and Tony to do what they wanted but Steve didn’t think that it would last and if it did his relationship with Bucky would become difficult to say the least.
