Chapter 2
"What did I say about beauty sleep?"
I sigh and look down. "I know. Sorry had a bad dream. Wedding jitters I guess." I say. Jane comes in. "Can I help? I can maybe play with his hair." She says. I smile. She is actually being nice for once. "Really?" I ask. "Please, I'm not offended by your choice of groom." She says. I look at her with the mirror. "Just my blatant lack of respect for mortality. " I say and she smiles. "Essentially." She says. Natasha smiles. "See weddings, brings everyone together." She says and hugs Jane. Both Jane and I smile shyly at each other.
Once Jane finishes we hear a voice. "Natasha? Bucky?" My mother's voice calls. "In here, mom." I say. She rushes in and Jane moves out of the way so I could see my mom. "Oh my gosh! You look so beautiful." She says and Winifred hugs me. "Mom." I say. She pulls back. "Oh crap my mascara." She says. "Mom." I say giving her a look. Natasha hands her a handkerchief. "Oh thanks." She says and dabs under her eyes. "George come in here." Winifred says.
"Are you sure? I don't wanna-" He trails off and walks in. I grin seeing him in his tuxedo. My dad looked good. "I know, I look hot." He says causing Jane, Natasha and I to giggle. "Well we thought that you needed something blue and old besides your mother." George says. "Thanks." She says after scoffing.
They take out a blue rose and it looked beautiful. "We will put this on." Natasha says. I smile and look in the mirror.
"Well it's time for Bucky to get dress so everyone out." Natasha says. George and Winifred left and now it was only was three again. They take the bag off and I saw the white tuxedo and I instantly felt nervous all over again. I get dressed into it and when I finished Jane puts the blue rose onto my jacket.
"There now we are going to go out there, see you soon Bucky." Natasha says and the two girls left. I look down and my anxiety spikes. I was so nervous. What if I do something wrong? What if I fall? That would be so embarrassing. I walk to the back door and stand there. I breath in deeply so I don't get dizzy. I shake my hands and close my eyes. When I open them again I see my father. "You alright there?" He asks.
"Just don't let me fall." I say as we see the people stand. "Never." He says and we start walking as the music started. As we closer the more nervous I got. I take a deep breath and once we stopped at the end I looked around. Then I looked forward to see Steve. All of a sudden my nerves fell away. I wasn't scared anymore, I was marrying the love of my life. We started walking towards him and he smiles. I shyly smile back and my heart was beating fast.
I did always get this reaction by Steve.
Once we reach him my father handed me over to Steve. I take Steve's hand and stare into his blue gold eyes. The minister starts to talk. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here on this day to witness the union of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. Please repeat after me." He says to Steve.
"I Steve Rogers." He starts. "I Steve Rogers." He says. "Take you, Bucky Barnes."
"Take you, Bucky Barnes." Steve says. "To have and to hold." Steve smiles at me and my heart beats so fast that I was sure that it was going to burst out of my chest. "To have and to hold." He says.
"For better or for worse." I say. "For richer, for poorer." He says. "In sickness and in health." I say.
"To love."
"To cherish. As long as we both shall live."
"I do"
"I do."
"I love you." Steve says. "I love you too." I say and we both kiss. We could barely hear the clapping and cheering as we kissed. It was official, I was a Rogers and I was so happy. Steve Rogers just makes me so happy. At some point we did pull away and look at the crowd. Steve pulls me close and I gladly snuggled into him.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Wanda, Tony, Bruce and Darcy were looking at the big cake. "I thought it would be bigger." Wanda comments and the others agree. "Hi." Natasha says. "Hey everything looks beautiful. " Darcy says. "Really? Its not too much?" Natasha asks. "No." Wanda says.
I was talking to Derek and T'challa. "You look beautiful. " Derek says. I blush and smile. "Thank you." I say. Steve smiles. "Nice to see you Derek." He says. "I'm happy for you." Derek says to Derek. Well at least they get along. "Thank you." Steve says. Derek looks over at me. "I hope you'll be happy Bucky." Derek says to me. "Thank you Derek, have you heard from him?" I ask. I was quite upset that Brock wasn't here. He is my best friend after all.
"I'm sure Brock wishes you the best. Well, I plan on fetting drunk. They're serving up some pretty fancy champagne. Jenn, can I get you a glass?" Derek asks. "Yes please." She says and they walk off. "Bucky." Steve says and I turn to see Steve holding his hand out but three very identical girls were standing with him. I take Steve's hand and he pulls me close.
"These are our cousins from Alaska. Barbara, Monica." He says and the third girl was staying back staring at T'challa. "We've heard so much about you." Monica says. I smile and shake her hand. "It is nice to meet you." I say and the two girls smiles. Barbara turns to the third girl. "Jessica, come meet Bucky." She says. Jessica walks up. "I can't do this." She says to her sisters. "You promised." Barbara says. "They invited one." Jessica says. "Jessica he's our friend." Steve says. "They killed Jack." She says. I remember Jack. He was friends wih Alexander and Sharon. We killed all three.
"He tried to kill Bucky." Steve says sternly. "I don't believe that. He wanted to be like us, to live in peace with the humans. With me." Jessica says with her voice cracking at the end and I now realize that her and Jack were lovers. "I'm sorry." Steve says. She storms off. "Jessica!" Monica says and runs off after her. "Let's not monopolize the bride congratulations. I'm sorry." Barbara says and I raise an eyebrow. "Bride?" I wondered out loud and looked at Steve. "Well, what's a wedding without family drama." Steve says. "Yeah, that's for sure." I say.
"Excuse me, is this on? Hello? Ummm, I'd like to propose a toast." Thor says and we all sit down. "Oh boy, here we go." I say. "To my new brother. Bucky, I hope you've gotten enough sleep these last eighteen years. Cause you won't be getting any more for a while." Thor says and laughs. I face palmed and Steve chuckles. Everyone was looking at him awkwardly. He sits down and Wanda gets up.
"Well, Bucky was just like everyone else, totally mesmerized by Steve. And then, suddenly, Steve is all about Bucky. Even though he's not captain of the volleyball team." She laughs and I huff as Steve chuckles and kisses my cheek. "I'm just kidding. Or president of the student council. " She says. At this point I ignore her and next thing I knew that my dad was up there.
"Steve will be a good husband. I know this because I'm a cop. I know things. Like how to hunt somebody to the ends of the earth. And I know how to use a gun." He continues on.
"I'd like to thank Winifred and George for bringing such a wonderful person into the world and into our lives. We will cherish and protect him forever." Sarah says. Both of us smile at that. Steve kisses me quickly and stands up. It was his turn to give the speech. He grabs a glass of champagne and starts to speak.
"It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to. And who will accept you for who you are. I've been waiting for what feels like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. And with Bucky, I feel like I can finally begin. So I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let's start with forever." Steve says staring at me and I blush and bite my bottom lip. It was time for dancing and everyone was. Steve and I were just slowly dancing together since I couldn't dance if my life depened on it.
Steve smiles and I grin. "Come on, I have another gift for you." Steve says and leads me away from the crowd. "What is a present doing all the way out here?" I ask curious. Steve smiles. "Just a little private." Steve says. Just before I could ask what he means I hear another voice call out and I see Brock. "Because the best man didn't have time to get a tux." Brock says. "Brock." I say and we hug. I smile. Brock did make it after all. "Hey." I say softly when we pulled out of our hug.
"Hey, Bucky." He says just as softly. "I will see if Jane wants another dance." Steve says walking off so it was just the two of us. "I'm sorry that I am late." Brock says. "Don't be, you are here now and that is what matters." I say and he smiles. "You look beautiful." He says. I blush. "Thank you." I say. "Will you dance with me?" He asks. "I still can't dance." I say but he pulls me and twirls me around then slowly dance. "Where have you been?" I ask curious. "Northern Canada. It's werid to be on two legs again." He says making me giggle.
"Are you okay? With being here?" I ask. "Why? Afriad that I will trash the wedding?" He asks and I couldn't help but tear up. "Come on Bucky, you aren't supposed to be the one crying here." He says. "Everyone cries at weddings." I retort making him chuckle. "This is gonna be how I remember you. Two pink cheeks, two left feet." He says and twirls me around once more to get me to smile again. "A heartbeat." He says softly. I felt bitter after he says this to me. "Soon I will be dead to you right?" I ask. Brock quickly realizes his mistake. "I'm sorry. I am just trying to make your last night memorable for being human." He says.
I decided to tell him the news. "Well, it's not my last night." I say. "What do you mean?" He asks stopping us from dancing so he could look me in the eyes. "I didn't really wanna spend my honeymoon writhing in pain." I comment. "What's the point? It's not like you are going to have a actual honeymoon with him anyway." He comments. "It's gonna be real as everybody else's." I say. "That's a sick joke." He says and I look at him confused. Does it look like I'm joking?
"You are joking right?" He asks. I shake my head no. He pulls away. "What? While you are still human? You can't be serious Bucky, tell me you aren't that stupid?" He asks and I felt hurt and looked down. I sniffle and wipe my tears away. "I mean, it's not really your business. " I mutter. He roughly grabs my shoulders and I flinch. "No, I can't let you do this." He says. "Brock stop, you are hurting me." I say in a raspy voice. At this point I was scared of what he was going to do to me.
"Let him go Brock." Steve snarls by my side in a instant. Brock does let go and Steve immediately wraps his arms around me. "Brock calm down." Steve says. "Are you really going to do this? You are going to kill him!" Brock yells and I flinch. He storms towards me but Sam and the other wolves runs up to stop him. "Walk away Brock, walk away." Sam says. "You stay out of this Sam." Brock snarls. "I'm sorry, I can't do that." Sam says. "He'll die!" Brock yells. "He's not our concern anymore." Sam says. Brock growls and runs off. They run off after him.
I sniffle and Steve holds me close. I wipe my tears away, "I guess I really am that stupid." I whimper. "No baby. Yoy are not stupid. Come on, people are probably missing us." Steve says gently. I nod amd follow Steve.

I was dressed into a pair of black skinny jeans with a white button down. I walk up to my parents. "So, he really won't tell you where you two are going?" Winifred asks. "No, he wants it to be a surprise." I say. We hug quickly. "Just please take care of yourself." She says. "I will mom." I say. "I love you baby." She says. "I love you too mom." I say smiling then I walk up to my dad. "Well, it's gonna be strange not having you live under my roof." George says. "Same dad." I say. "You will always know where home is going to be right?" He asks. I nod.
" love you dad. Forever." I whisper and hug him again trying not to cry all over again. "I love you too Buck. I always have and I always will. Go on, I do not want you to miss your plane to wherever you are going." George says. I nod and kiss him on the cheek. "You ready?" Steve asks. I look at him and smile. "Yeah I am." I say. He opens the passenger door for me and I slide in. He closes the door then walks around and gets in behind the wheel. He stars the car and starts to drive. I smile and wave at everyone that we pass. I look out the window. I hear howls and I try to ignore what Brock said to me tonight.
Now we were off to a place that I have no idea where we are going. I hope I will love it.
