Episode Nine
“What about Avery.”
“No, definitely not.”
“Sarah?”
That one earned a shake of the head.
“I want it to be graceful and elegant.”
“I have no idea then.” Clint says giving up. Choosing names for a baby girl was hard. “What about Jasmine?” Natasha asks. Bucky made a face and Steve clears his throat. “That was the name of my ex girlfriend.” Steve says blushing. “I thought her name was Jamie?” Tony asks confused. “Ex, ex girlfriend.” He confirms. They just nod. “What about Rose?” Sam asks. “That one is pretty good. Maybe a middle name.” Steve says. Everyone groans. “You guys are so fucking picky.” Bruce states. Bucky shrugs and yawns.
“What do you expect?” The brunet asks and everyone stays silent. Well, all except Tony. “Because you are related to your mother.” He mutters. “Dude.” Clint hisses while Natasha just straight up smacks the back of the his head. “Ow damn it woman.” Tony curses. Bucky just shrugs. “True.” He says and leans against Steve’s side. “Well we gotta go, because unlike you two, we actually have to go to school.” Bruce says. “How is everyone?” Steve asks. “The football team misses you two like crazy. Make sure you guys visit when the baby is born.” Natasha says. “For sure.” Steve says grinning.
Bucky stands up with Steve’s help to lightly hug Natasha goodbye. “Take good care of yourselves.” Bucky says seriously to everyone. They all agreed and left. The second Steve closes the door he turns with a grin on his face and wraps his arms around his Omega. Steve tilts Bucky’s chin up and pulls him into a sweet chaste kiss. “Thank you.” He whispers. Bucky looked confused. “For what?” He asks.
Steve smiles. “For everything. I don’t know where I would be without you in my life.” He says. Bucky smiles and blushes. “I have a paper to finish.” Bucky says and places his head onto the Alpha’s shoulder. “What some help?” He asks. Bucky sighs and walks over to the couch and grabs his lap top and logs in. “I wouldn’t say no.” He says, making the blonde chuckle. Steve sits down carefully beside the Omega. Lately his pregnancy hormones have been everywhere and he definitely didn’t want to be on Bucky’s bad side at the moment.
The brunet also had some pretty weird cravings. Steve means like Bucky had been craving peanut butter, which seemed pretty normal, but then weird things like watermelon and marmalade. Bucky HATED watermelon and marmalade. Well, guess it can make your body want some weird things. Anyway, back to helping the pregnant Omega out with his essay. It was tough and Bucky wanted Steve to proof read it, so he could fix the mistakes and have someone’s opinion.

It was six in the evening when Bucky finally finished the paper and sent it off to his online teacher. He leans back and groans. “Baby, you need to stop your kicking.” He says very seriously to his stomach. Steve chuckles and hands him his decaf tea. Steve sits down and wrap an arm around his lover and turns the television on.
“What do you want to watch?” He asks. “Is the new episode of the flash on yet?” Bucky asks perking up. What? He quite enjoys the show so don’t judge him. Extra bonus is that he got Steve hooked in on it too. “Yes.” Steve says excited and clicks on it.
“They can’t end it there!” Bucky exclaims when the show ends on a cliffhanger. Bucky hates cliffhangers. “Well, the new episode will be out next week babe.” Steve says and flushes in embarrassment when Bucky glares at him. “That is a whole seven Days!” He whines and pouts. Steve chuckles and leans over to kiss Bucky, making him smile. Just then the doorbell rings.
They both freeze. “Is anyone suppose to be here?” Bucky whispers and Steve shakes his head. The blonde stands and put a quilt over Bucky. “Stay here.” The Alpha whispered and the Omega nodded. He slowly walks over to the front door and wished that he had a peep hole at the moment. He unlocks the door and slowly opens it.
“Mom? Dad? What are you doing here?” Steve hissed. He steps out and quietly closes the door. “This is where you two have been the whole time? We had to come see you son.” Joseph says. Steve shakes his head. “You two need to get out of here.” Steve says quietly. “Why?” Sarah asks in a sad tone and on the verge of tears. “Because. If the Barnes are tracking you then they will know where Bucky is.” Steve says firmly. “We know. We ran the risk anyway. We want to be there for you two. Please we miss you.” Sarah says and Steve crumbles. He can’t stand the sight of his mother crying.
Steve wraps his arms around his mother and held her close. “Mom I missed you too, but that is why I sent you the picture of my baby girl.” Steve says and Sarah looks up at her son. “A baby girl? Oh that is amazing. Please, let me talk to Bucky.” She pleads. “Steve? Who was it?” Bucky asks. Steve winches. Oh boy he was in so much trouble.
“Come on.” He says and leads them inside. Steve holds up his hand to his parents, signaling to stay there and he walks into the living room. “Okay Buck, please don’t be angry at me.” The blonde starts. The brunet looked concern for his Alpha. “Steve, what did you do?” He asks slowly. “Okay, because my parents didn’t throw a big deal, I might have sent a picture of your ultrasound to them.” Steve says and winches at the immediate anger that flared in Bucky’s eyes.
“You did What!? Do you have any idea what you did!? Oh my God you stupid idiot.” Bucky exclaims, his voice rising. “Buck I’m sor-“
“For all we could know they could be here!” Bucky yells. “Ummm about th-“ Bucky growled. “Did you even think for one second about what you just did? God damn it Stevie.” Bucky shouts and he looked betrayed. Steve sighed. If he was in the Omega’s shoes, he would be feeling betrayed as well. “I’m sorry. But they are my parents. They stood up for you!” Steve says. “You do know that it is not always my parents that are the bad guys.” Bucky says.
“Look, I understand why you are upset but please, think about it.” Steve says. He watches the brunet sigh. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to explode on you like that.” Bucky says gently. “I know baby. This is really hard for both of us, but we are doing this together.” Steve says softly and places his hand gently onto Bucky’s back and rubs gently.
Bucky sniffles and wipes the tears. “I hate to say but my parents are here.” Steve says and the Omega laughs wetly. “Just great.” He croaks out and Steve wraps both of his arms around Bucky. “I love you.” The Omega says. “I love you too.” Steve whispers and kisses the brunet’s temple.
Just then both Sarah and Joseph walks in. “Hey, how are you two doing?” Sarah asks gently. She couldn’t see the swollen belly thanks to Steve being in the way and the quilt over top of him. Bucky all of a sudden feels nervous. Why wouldn’t he?
“Why are you here?” Bucky asks, putting his walls up. “Well, we haven’t heard from both of you and we were starting to get worried. The day we found out that both of you went missing, or well ran away, we knew why but Winifred was livid. She started searching everywhere and well, started to blame Joseph and I even more.” Sarah explains. Bucky looks down and Steve gently intertwines his fingers with the brunet’s and squeezes.
“Well, that at least shows both of you your lesson. So what if you guys hate each other? I love Bucky and he loves me. You guys need to learn to accept that.” Steve says very seriously. Bucky squeezes Steve’s hand and he just wanted them gone. “I know. I have realized that what Sarah and I have done. That is why we wanted to apologize and to be in your lives when the baby comes.” Joseph says. Steve sighs. Of course he forgives his parents but he doesn’t know what Buck is thinking. He as been awfully quiet lately. “Well, it is not up to me. It is up to the mother of the child.” Steve says and looks over at the Omega. Bucky bites his bottom lip. He doesn’t know, but what Steve said was true.
Sarah and Joseph did stick up for him when his mother disapproved of the fact that her son was pregnant with the son of someone she hated deep in her bones. There was really only one thing to say left. “I forgive you, but I don’t know if I can just handle this right now.” Bucky says and his head starts to pound and he was just exhausted.
“Of course. Please take your time. Honey you look exhausted, what about you go get some sleep.” Sarah suggested. Steve stands up and holds his hand out. Bucky rolled his eyes but took the hand anyway and helped him up. They both heard gasps and Bucky looks at Steve’s parents. Right, they haven’t seen the baby bump yet.
Bucky rubs his hand over the bump and the baby kicked. “May I?” Sarah asks on the verge of tears and the teenager nods. She gently places her hand onto his swollen belly and the tears fell for her. “So precious. Oh you are going to be amazing parents. I can feel it.” She says and God damn it, she is going to make Bucky cry.
She smiles when she feels the baby kicked. Steve comes up behind Bucky and wraps his arms around him. She smiles at both of them. “Even though you two are so, so young…. You two are soulmates. I hope one day that you forgive me and I hope that I will be at your wedding.” Sarah says looking at the engagement ring on Bucky’s ring finger on his left hand. Steve chuckles quietly.
“Mom, the wedding will probably not be happening until the baby is born, or probably a year or two after that.” He says, the brunet nodding after Steve says the statement. Sarah deflated, she looked a little disappointed but she actually understood why her son, and his lover wanted to wait. After all, they are only seventeen, almost eighteen years old.
But yet, they are probably waiting until Winifred and George stop searching for their son. Waiting and hoping that his parents won’t find him before he gives birth and get rid of the baby girl. “What is her name?” She asks, wanting to know. Bucky looks down at his stomach and smiles. The look in his eyes of pure love for his daughter was there. It sparked something in her chest and made her smile. “Anna. Anna Rose Rogers.” He whispers softly. The Alpha beside him took his hand and with tears in his eyes, he said. “Perfect. Her name is perfect, just like you.”
Bucky blushes lightly and smiles while looking up. Sarah looks over at her husband. Joseph was smiling at her and she remembers the moment when she was pregnant with Steve. She remembers when she thought that she couldn’t have a child because that is what the doctors told her but Steve, her beautiful son, was a miracle.
So of course she understood what the younger couple was feeling. “Well, we should get going. Steve, you have my number and when you have the answer, please call me.” She says. “Okay mom, I love you.” He says. “Love you too baby. And thank you for the ultrasound picture.” She says and stops herself from giggling because of the glare her son has gotten from the younger Omega.
Steve nodded while the tip of his ears turned a bright cherry red. Once his parents leave Bucky gives Steve a look. At this moment, Steve knew he fucked up. “Babe, look I’m sorry. I just sent them a picture, I didn’t expect them to show up here.” He says. Bucky sigh and sits down onto one of the kitchen chairs.
Bucky feels selfish. Of course Steve is going to miss his family. Bucky made so many mistakes and he feels like this whole situation was his fault. What did he expect? For Steve to never talk to his family again? They did nothing wrong to Steve. They loved him and his parents could only have one child and Bucky was taking him away.
Why don’t they hate him? They could show up and take Steve home. Or call the police and he is sent back to his home and probably never see Steve again. But wouldn’t that be for the best? Steve deserve so much more and now he could never play football again. He could never act like a teenager and had to force himself to be a responsible father at the age of seventeen.
He should be worried about prom. About getting ready to play the play offs and winning. Bucky just took their best quarter back. Maybe he would have been better off with Sharon. God, he took Steve’s whole entire future away from just because he was stupid and didn’t take the fucking birth control. He should have been on it years ago, but he thought that no one would ever think of him that way. Maybe that Alpha in the hospital was right. He is just a slut and couldn’t keep his legs closed. At the moment, all Bucky could think about was of how he was worthless. Nothing but a god damn disappointment in this whole universe.
“A penny for your thoughts?”
Bucky jumped a little, lost in his thoughts that he didn’t realize that Steve was trying to get his attention. “Oh, uh nothing.” Bucky deflects. So selfish, that he couldn’t even tell the blonde male sitting across from him. “I want to know.” Steve says gently. The Omega sighs and closed his eyes gently. It was now or never.
“I am so selfish. I’m sorry for taking your life away from you. I’m sorry for taking you away from your family. You should be in high school worrying about your future and I took that away from you.” He whispers and Steve immediately stood up and rushed around their kitchen table and kneeled down beside his fiancé.
Bucky looks down to hide the tears that are trying to break free and succeed as they start to fall down his cheeks. Steve puts two fingers underneath the upset male chin and tilts his head up, so they make eye contact.
“James Buchanan Barnes, you are the love of my life. I don’t want you to ever think like that again. Because you are so beautiful and you never took my future away, you know why? Because you are my future. No one can replace you in my heart. You are my heartbeat, you are my light in the darkness. I was the one who knocked you up and you could have hated me.” He starts.
Bucky shakes his head. “I could never hate you.” He whispers. “Yes, you could have but instead you still poured all of your trust into me. You poured all of your love into me. But also, you could have fallen in love with anyone and I am honoured that you picked me. So please, don’t ever think that this is your fault. It’s not.” Steve says and now they both were a crying mess.
This is such a emotional evening but still they smiled and still thought that they were the most beautiful person on this earth and they both knew at that moment, they were nothing without the other by there side. “I love you.” Bucky whispers and they both kissed. It was sloppy and desperate, but it was still filled with love and passion. “I love you.” Steve whispers and they both start to giggle.
“God, this is such a emotional night.” Bucky says quietly and giggles more when Steve nods his head in agreement. “But I am glad that it is with you.” Steve says and kisses the brunet’s cheek. “Lets go to bed. It is late after all.” Steve continues and stands up and stretches real quick. He helps his lover up and together they went upstairs to there bedroom.
Once they were changed and had brushed their teeth, they climbed into bed. “Hopefully Anna will let me sleep tonight.” The Omega grumbles as he lays down and places his right hand gently on top of his swollen stomach that still needs to get bigger. Bucky does not like that thought, but it happens with pregnancy’s. Steve hums thoughtfully then slides down and places both hands onto Bucky’s stomach. “Steve, what on earth are you doing?” He asks confused on what the blonde was doing. Steve lightly presses a kiss onto the stomach and starts to gently speak to the baby.
He heard that babies can actually hear you. “Hey sweet angel. Can you be a good girl and let mommy sleep? You are taking all of his energy and he needs a good night sleep. Will you do that please? Thank you sweetheart.” Then places another kiss onto the tender skin.
Bucky smiled as he watched his lover talked to their baby girl. Steve grins at him when he reached over and pressed a light kiss onto his lips. Steve then laid down and turned the lamp off and pulled the Omega closer so he was nuzzled into his side and smiled. He could feel the pregnant brunet relax against him. Clearly, the day has exhausted him and needs this much needed rest.
Steve stared at the ceiling feeling content. Even though they were real young, this is life. He has the perfect Omega, the perfect house and soon to be the perfect job. He is going to be a architect. Maybe one day, he will set up his own company and bring in some good money, honest money. But, there was still that important question he wanted to ask? How on earth did Bucky think of those thoughts? This evening was clearly bugging the Alpha more than he thought he would.
Maybe he will ask tomorrow.
