what the hell?
Bucky startles awake in the middle of to a woman screaming. Steve who had his arms around Bucky's waist wakes up from Bucky jumping. " Bucky what's wrong?" Steve asks groggily. Bucky looks around frantically and jumps out of the bed. The omega bolts downstairs with the alpha racing after the omega. " Bucky! " Steve says. Bucky stops in the doorway to see Melissa on the living room floor. " NOT MY BABY! " she keeps wailing over and over. Bucky walks over to her and puts his hand onto her shoulder. Bad idea. Melissa looks at Bucky with tears. She stands and screams at him. Bucky puts his hands over his ears. Her scream was so high pitched that it fucking hurt his ears. " STOP SCREAMING MELISSA!" Bucky yells over her. She stops and said to him. " No one knows my pain. So you should feel my pain." Bucky looks at her confused. " Bucky what's going on? " Steve says. But before Bucky could answer Melissa grabs his wrist. Bucky hunches over and starts gasping for air. Bucky screams in pain. Steve catches his husband before Bucky could hit the floor. " Bucky! " Steve shouts. " MAKE HER STOP, GOD MAKE HER STOP!" Bucky wails. Steve was so scared. " Melissa stop! Please! Stop hurting my husband!" Steve says while holding Bucky. All of a sudden the pain slowly starts to fade away. Bucky whimpers. " Steve it hurts." Bucky says weakly. " Where baby, where does it hurt?" Steve asks. Bucky whimpers. " Ugh my stomach, fuck it hurts. Alpha it hurts." Bucky whines. " I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that, you don't deserve that." Melissa says and disappears. Steve calmly picks Bucky up and slowly climbs up the stairs. Steve would stop whenever Bucky whimpers in pain and distress. After a few minutes, Bucky was in bed with Steve slowly rubbing circles onto his stomach. Bucky was fading in and out of blacking out. Steve gently kisses Bucky's temple. " Go to sleep Bucky, no one is going to hurt you." Steve says and Bucky finally closes his eyes and drift off to sleep.
Bucky groans when he opens his eyes. Bucky was still hurting, his stomach was the worst. " Oh fuck." Bucky groans out and Steve comes into the bedroom. "Hey baby, how you feeling?" Steve asks. " Ugh it hurts. Bucky says. Steve furrows his eyebrows in concern. " You should stay in bed. I take the day off." Steve says. Bucky shakes his head. " No, it's ok. You can go." Bucky says. Steve signs. " Bucky you are the most stubborn person I have ever met. But I love it. But I'm staying home. My omega needs me." Steve says and kisses Bucky. Bucky smiles. " Alright." Bucky says. " I'm tired. I think I'm going to try to get some sleep. " Bucky says tiredly. Steve nods. " Good. I'm going to the store and picking some medication for you. I'm also going to tell Pepper that you are not coming in." Steve says. Bucky nods and closes his eyes to fall asleep in a few seconds. Steve signs.
" Hey Pepper. Bucky not coming in." Steve says. Pepper looks at Steve. " Why? Shouldn't you be at work?" Pepper asks. Steve signs again. " Well, you know his gift right? Well Melissa, the ghost, decided to come into our living room and starts to scream. She put her pain onto Bucky and now he is in lots of pain. As for the second question. I took the day off to take care of Bucky. " Steve finishes. Pepper looks at Steve. " Bucky, oh my god. That poor omega. I'm going to visit Bucky when I close up." Pepper says seriously. Steve just nods and holds the bag up. " Well, I got to go home and give these to Bucky." Steve says. Pepper nods. " Go ahead dear." She says and Steve leaves antique store.
Bucky flutters his eyes open to see Melissa. "I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else." She says urgently. " It's alright. I had worse." Bucky says. Melissa frowns. " You didn't deserve that." She whispers. Buck smiles. " Hey, everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry about it. " Bucky says. Melissa smiles. Steve knocks on the door. " Bucky? I have some medicine for you." Steve says and enters the bedroom. Bucky smiles. " Thanks baby." Bucky says. Steve nods. Steve sits down on the bed. "I think we need to talk." Steve says. Bucky smiles drops. Fear spikes through Bucky. " What is it?" Bucky stutters out. " Your gift. Please promise me your not going to get hurt. Last night I was so scared." Steve explains. Bucky nods. " Of course. I understand. " Bucky says. Bucky looks down at the bedsheets. " Hey sweetheart. I'm not going to leave you if you think I'm going to abandon you." Steve says and puts his fingers under Bucky's chin and lifts his head up so Bucky can looks into Steve's blue eyes. " It's ok if you do. I understand. I really do. " Bucky mutters. Steve shakes his head and hugs Bucky. " God. I love you too much to leave you. Your my omega, my soulmate. " Steve says. Bucky blushes and looks at the bedsheets again. " You are such a cheese ball. " Bucky says. Steve chuckles. " Well, what can you say? I'm a romantic. " Steve says and kisses Bucky sweetly. Bucky smiles and cuddles into Steve. " I love you." Bucky says. Steve smiles and kisses Bucky again. " I love you too." Steve whispers.
*3 hours later*
Pepper knocks on the bedroom door. Bucky smiles. " Peps, your here. " Bucky says tiredly. " Of course! Your my best friend. " Pepper says. " You alright dear? You do look a bit pale." Pepper whispers and touches Bucky's forehead. Bucky loves it when Pepper plays the mother hen. " I'm going to be alright. " Bucky says. Steve comes in with Sam. " Jeez Bucky, your famous." Steve teases. Bucky smiles again. Sam sits on the bed beside Bucky. " How are you doing Barnes." Sam asks. Bucky grins. " It's been awhile since someone called me Barnes." Bucky teases Sam. Sam cackles and hugs Bucky. " You have not change one bit." Sam says. Bucky beams. " So, is anyone hungry? " Steve asks. Pepper signs. " Sorry, I'm going to have to take a rain check. I have to meet up with my husband. " Pepper says. " Of course. How bout you Sam?" Steve asks. Sam nods. " If only Bucky cooks. He makes the best food." Sam says. Bucky giggles. " Of course." Bucky slowly gets out of bed and stretches. " Man Steve, whatever you gave me works like a charm. It doesn't even hurt anymore." Bucky says. Steve laughs. " Well, that's great. " Steve says and kisses Bucky. " Alright love birds, no more kisses." Sam says. Bucky smiles and walks down the stairs.
Once Steve closes the door he walks over to Bucky. " Thanks for dinner. It was amazing." Steve says and wraps his arms around his lover. Bucky signs. " Thanks, now I just need to get this ghost to cross over." Bucky says. Steve kisses Bucky's cheek. " You will." Steve says. Bucky leans against Steve's chest. Bucky really hopes so. He really does.
