It was a clear blue sky outside, but inside was a different story. Two men were waiting in a waiting room to see what their results were. A few weeks back Steve Rogers had started to feel sick, and now they were waiting to see what was wrong with him. Bruce had sent him here without saying much to him. He wanted to tell Steve what might be wrong with him, but he felt it was better coming from someone else. "Steve, everything is going to be fine," said Bucky taking his hand.
He held it up to his lips and kissed it. Steve smiled at Bucky as people looked at them. Neither one of them cared about what others thought. They were happy and in love. "If everything is going to be fine, then why didn't Bruce tell us what was wrong?" Steve asked.
Rogers took his hand back so he could finish filling out those papers. They had given him a good few to fill out, but he didn't understand half these questions since he was a male and not female. "He had his reasons, Steve," said Bucky.
Once the paperwork was filled out, Bucky took it back up to the desk. The lady smiled at him. "It will be a few moments, sir," she said.
Bucky gave the nod as he went to sit back down. A lady came over to them and sat across from them. She had a big smile on her face plus there was a little boy next to her. He couldn't have been older than 3 or 4. "Hello, I am Amy, and this is my son Drax," she said to them holding out her hand.
Steve smiled back at her. "Nice to meet you, mam, I am Steve Rogers, and this is Bucky by boyfriend," Steve stated.
It got him a few looks, but other then that no one said a word to him about that. "It's nice to meet you both. So what brings you two in here?" asked Amy.
She did notice that Steve had some weight on him, but she didn't want to comment on it. Bucky and Steve shared a look as they took each other's hands. "Well, we aren't sure. A friend called and sat this up for us," Bucky started as a nurse came out.
"Steve Rogers," the nurse called out.
Both Bucky and Steve stood up. They gave the nod to Amy and Drax before heading towards the door. The nurse smiled at them as she leads them over to the weight machine. "Could you step up here please?" she asked.
Steve did as he was told. He didn't dare look at the machine. It was easy to tell that he had put on weight and he wasn't sure why. They were about to find out though. "Wow Steve you went up in weight," said Bucky. "I remember when you couldn't gain a thing and now look at you."
For some reason, Steve felt like crying when he heard that. He tried to keep his emotions in check, but it didn't work. A moment later, Steve started crying. Bucky waited until the nurse told him he could get down before he put an arm around him. "Sorry, Buck," said Steve in a shaky voice.
Bucky smiled at him. It was alright. He didn't blame Steve for acting that way. Bucky had said something that wasn't called for. The nurse then spoke. "So I take it you have gone up in weight. We have your weight here at 245, and your normal weight is what?"
Steve was still crying and trying to dry his tears. Bucky hugged him then answered the nurse. "His normal weight is 220."
She gave the nod as she walked them down to a room. Once they got to the place, she held the door open for them. Bucky leads them into the room and Steve got up on the chair like thing in the room. "If you could just put this on," she said handing him a gown. "The doctor will be with you shortly."
As Steve got dressed in the gown after taking his clothes off Bucky walked over to the window. He looked out. It was easy to see the cars passing by. Plus the sun was shining brightly that day as well. "What could this mean, Bucky? I have put on a good 25 pounds, and nothing has changed," Steve stated.
Bucky gave the nod as he walked back over to Steve. "Who knows Steve. I sure as heck don't know. Maybe you just have been eating more than normal, but that shouldn't matter," said Bucky as there was a knock on the door.
A young female doctor came in. She looked to be about 35 or so. Bucky and Steve smiled at her as she took a seat. The doctor pulled out his chart and looked it over. "Well, I see Bruce Banner sent you to see me. I know him a little bit. Has he told you anything about what could be going on?" She asked smiling back at them. "Also I am Dr. Grey by the way."
The two men shook their head. "No," Steve told her.
There was an even bigger smile on her face. "Well, seeing as Bruce isn't the type of doctor I am, I can see why he didn't say a word. Steve with the scans he ran on you, something came up," she said.
Bucky looked at her as he took Steve's hand. He could feel the sweat on Steve's hand. "What came up?" Bucky asked.
He was truly worried about Steve. Plus it didn't help that Steve put on a few good pounds as well. "It appears that Steve has female body parts on the inside of his body. It's nothing to be worried about. It does happen. Some people are born with both male and female parts," she stated.
Steve looked over to Bucky before looking at her. "So what you are saying is that on the inside I am a female, but on the outside, I am a male?" asked Steve.
She gave the nod to Steve as she moved a little closer. Bucky was in shock and couldn't find anything to say. "That's why Bruce sent you to me. He felt I could help you with all of this. Right now I would like to take a look at your insides to see why you have gained so much weight. I have a feeling as to what could be the cause of it, but I want to be sure," she stated.
Bucky gave her a look before he spoke. "So what does this mean Dr. Grey?" asked Bucky.
He had a feeling what this meant, but he wanted to hear it from her. Bucky was starting to feel a little nervous, and he could tell that Steve didn't look too hot himself. "It means, that Steve could be able to get pregnant and given the fact that you both are super soldiers most protects stuff will not work. I want to do an ultrasound to see if Steve is pregnant," Dr. Grey stated.
Steve gave the nod, but he was very nervous now. "Do you think that is the cause of the weight gain?" asked Steve in a scared voice.
Dr. Grey nodded as she stood up. "I believe so. Kathy will take care of it while I am in the room. A test would tell us, but I don't think it's needed at this point. If I were to guess I would say Steve is around three months pregnant," said Dr. Grey.
Bucky looked at Steve as he spoke up. "I know someone who was pregnant, and I am sure she didn't gain this much in the first three months."
Dr. Grey smiled as she led them from the room. "I understand that, and every pregnancy is different Steve," she said.
Bucky nodded at that. "You should know that Steve. Your ma was a nurse, and I know that from my four younger sisters," Bucky stated.
Steve just held onto Bucky as they walked down the hall. Kathy smiled as they came into the room. "Do you think we could do an ultrasound, Kathy?" asked Dr. Grey.
Kathy smiled at Dr. Grey. "We can, but he needs to drink at least 24 ounces of water, and I can see him in an hour," she stated.
Once Steve was given a bottle of water to drink they were lead from the room. The two of them went back out into the waiting room. Bucky held Steve close as he drank the water. Some people stared at them, but right at this moment, Bucky didn't care. Steve needed him. He could tell that Steve was close to tears. "Are you ok?" asked Bucky.
He knew that Steve wasn't, but he thought he would ask anyway. Steve drank the water then got up to throw away the bottle. Once he sat back down, he spoke to Bucky. "I am not sure. This news is a lot to take in."
Steve broke down into tears, and it didn't help matters with people staring at them. Bucky put an arm around Steve and started to rub his back. "Everything is going to be fine, Steve. We will get through this," Bucky stated.
Without saying a word, Steve leaned his head on Bucky's left shoulder. About an hour later they were called back. Kathy smiled at them as they came into the room. Dr. Grey was sitting on one of the other chairs. "Welcome back, Steve. If you could hope up here we can check things out," Dr. Grey told him.
Steve did as he was told. He was a little nervous and scared as was Bucky. They never had to deal with these things. Plus back in their time, they didn't have them. It was something new to the two of them. Kathy saw the scared look on Steve's face, so she leaned over to pat his arm. "This wand won't hurt a bit, but the gel that I will place on your stomach will be a little cold," Kathy stated.
So Steve braced himself for the cold as the gel was placed on his stomach. It wasn't that cold, but cold enough that Steve felt a chill coming on. After about a moment of her moving the wand around on his stomach, she saw something. Dr. Grey pointed it out. "Looks like we have something here. Two somethings if truth be told."
Kathy gave the nod. "It looks like you are having twins," she said.
Steve and Bucky shared a look as Dr. Grey spoke to Kathy. "Would you say he is about three months along?"
Kathy gave another nod. "I would. You may go back to the room now, and Dr. Grey will be in to talk to you," she said.
She left the room with Dr. Grey so that Steve could get changed. Once Dr. Grey and Kathy were out of the room, Bucky looked to Steve. "How do you feel about this?" asked Bucky.
He was still trying to wrap his head around this news of having twins. Steve wasn't sure how he felt at the moment. At least now he knew what was wrong with him. It was good news really, but they never talked about having kids. "Ok, I guess. It's a shock for sure, but maybe this is a good thing," said Steve as he got dressed.
Bucky held his hand as they walked from the ultrasound room. They made their way back to the room they were in before. Dr. Grey smiled at them as they came in. "I know this must be a shock for the two of you and I bet you have a lot of questions that I can answer so ask away," she said.
Steve took a seat as did Bucky. It was hard to know where to start so Steve started with something reasonable. "Is it normal to get heartburn?"
Dr. Grey patted his hand before answering the question. "It is very normal."
She got up and went over to a board. Dr. Grey pulled a few papers then walked back over to Steve. He took them then handed them to Bucky who put them in his pocket. "Also I have been throwing up most days, but it doesn't just last in the morning," Steve stated.
Dr. Grey let out a chuckle. "Well, that's normal as well. Morning sickness can happen all day long. We often joke that a man named it, but I don't know if that's true. If you have no more questions, then you are free to go. I will see you back here in two weeks," she said getting up.
She left the room as did Steve and Bucky. While Steve went to set up his appointment, Bucky went out to the waiting room. He sank into one of the chairs. This pregnancy was a lot to take in, and everything was happening so fast. They had just started dating not too long ago. "Ready to go?" asked Steve coming out.
He put a hand to Bucky's shoulder. Bucky smiled at him as he stood up. "Yea, I am Steve. I was thinking about things," said Bucky with a smile on his face. "It's nothing to worry about."
Bucky wanted to talk to Steve about stuff, but he didn't want him to get stressed out. "If you need to talk I am here. It's a lot to take in, and I am scared," said Steve.
As they walked to their truck, Bucky held Steve's hand. He also made sure Steve was close to him. "Steve, everything will be fine. I am scared as well, but we will get through this," Bucky said.
