What does she mean?
For the pass three days, Bucky has been jumping whenever he hears the door and Steve now has to say something when he opens the front door because last time he said nothing Steve almost got a knife in the chest. Bucky always have nightmares and is a little bit afraid of alphas.
Right now Bucky is walking down the street to Pepper and his antique store. " Bucky! " Bucky hears a female voice says. Bucky turns around to see Janice. " Janice?" Bucky says confused. Janice smiles sadly and hugs Bucky. " I'm sorry. I didn't know what my husband could do. So myhusband killed my little girl." Janice voice cracks at the end and Bucky hugs Janice. " It's ok. It is not your fault. What about you come over for dinner." Bucky suggests. Janice looks up. " I thought Steve hates me." She whispers. Bucky shakes his head. " No, Steve hates Jason. Not you or Chris. About Chris, how is he doing?" Bucky asks. Janice sighs. " Well, he's mad. He blames himself for Sarah's death because they were playing and Chris pushed her a little too hard and she fell into the water." She replies.
Bucky frowns and opens the door for Janice then walked in after her. " I understand why he blames himself, but don't let him. It wasn't his fault. When kids play they always get hurt. " Bucky says. Janice nods. Pepper comes by. " Hey, how you two doing?" Pepper asks. " We are doing ok." Bucky says. Janice nods in agreement. Pepper smiles. " Well, just relax. Nothing else will happen." Pepper says. Once Pepper finishes her sentence, Wanda accidentally knocks over a vase and it fell to the floor with a loud crash.
Bucky jumps and whips around in fear. Wanda smiles sheepishly. " Oops." Wanda says and laughs nervously. " Hey, it's ok. I didn't like that vase anyway." Pepper says. Bucky's breathing slows down and he leans against the counter and puts his hand onto his chest. "Jesus christ you scared me." Bucky breaths out. " Sorry." Wanda says quickly. Bucky waves his hand around. " It's fine." Bucky says. Wanda and Pepper finishes cleaning up the broken shards of glass, when Clint comes in. " Hey, is Steve picking you up?" Clint asks. Bucky nods. " Yeah, his car broke down so I let him use mine. Once he's done his shift, Steve is coming to pick me up." Bucky says. Clint nod and looks around. "What happened?" Clint asks guestering towards the mess on the floor. " Oh, Wanda knocked over a vase." Pepper says. " It was an accident! " Wanda says defensive. " Hey, it's ok. " Janice says. Just then a horn honks. " Oh, well that's Steve! Bye guys." Bucky says and he got alot of 'byes' and 'goodnights' in return.
Steve finishes setting the table up. " There." Steve says and stands back. Bucky looks up from his book. "That's great Steve. Good job." Bucky says. Steve smiles and walks over to Bucky. " You think you will sleep tonight." Steve asks and sits beside Bucky. Bucky shrugs. " I think so." Bucky says. Steve nods. " Good cause I'm starting to worry about you. Like you're not eating breakfast, you are always tired, and now you get sick in the mornings." Steve says. Bucky smiles. "I'm just getting a cold, that's all." Bucky says. Steve nods. " Ok, I believe you. " Steve says and kisses Bucky's forehead. Just then the doorbell rings. " I'll get the door." Steve says and stands up.
When Steve and Janice and Chris walks into the kitchen, Bucky was sitting at the table. " Hey Janice." Bucky says. Jancie smiles. " Hey, thanks for inviting us." She says. Bucky smiles. " And thank you for coming." Bucky shoots back. Everyone sits at the table.
*3 hours later*
Bucky smiles when Steve cleans the table off. "Thanks honey." Bucky says. Steve smiles. " Of course sweetheart. " Steve answers back. " I want to talk to my family." Sarah says shyly. Bucky smiles at Sarah. " Of course." Bucky says and looks at Janice and Chris. "Look I know this is like a bomb to you two but I can see and talk to spirits. Sarah is here right now and wats to talk to you. " Bucky says. Janice looks at Steve. " It's true." Steve says and smiles. Janice looks back at Bucky with tears in her eyes. " Honey, I'm so sorry. Janice says. Sarah smiles. " Tell them it's not their fault." Sarah says. " Sarah wants you two to know that it's not your fault. " Bucky says. Janice sniffles. " I'm sorry it took me so long to find out how dad is." Janice says with tears running down her cheeks. " It happens. Don't let your guilt take over you when it's not really your fault. It was dad's fault." Sarah says. Bucky looks at Steve then back to Janice with a watery eyes. "What is she saying?" Janice asks. " Sarah says not to let your guilt take over your lives and that it's her father's fault not you or Chris fault." Bucky says and sniffs. Janice nods. Sarah appeads beside Chris. " And tell Chris to take care of mom, she needs it." Sarah says.
" Chris, Sarah wants you to take care of your mother and that she needs it right now." Bucky says and Chris nods. " Of course!" Chris says. Sarah nods. She then turns around. " Whoa. What's that? " Sarah asks. Bucky smiles. " It's for you Sarah. Your ready." Bucky explains. Sarah looks at it again and starts walking towards the light but then stops and turns to Bucky. " You must protect your little one. You must protect him. " Sarah says and walks into the light. Bucky blinks. " She's gone." Bucky says. Janice and Chris hugs each other crying. Bucky looks at Steve and smiles but then looks down. What did Saeah mean about protecting the little one?
Bucky then reliazes what she means.
