Bucky's POV
Almost six months of marriage and things are going absolutely amazing. She and I have been working with the help of Clint and Natasha to find Rumlow and in our free time we have gone on plenty of missions and spent the remaining time just being together. We go on runs together, we spend a lot of nights in relaxing and other times we go out. Right now I'm headed out on a mission with Steve and Sam because we got a lead on Rumlow. Taylor was supposed to be going instead of Sam but she got super sick yesterday so she is staying back.
"You sure you don't want me to send Nat instead? I can stay back." I ask picking up my bag.
"Go." She smiles tiredly. "I've just been a puking mess since yesterday. This way you won't have to deal with it."
"I want to deal with it." I smile.
"Bucky go, I want you to be there if you find him."
"Okay...I love you." I say kissing her head.
"I love you too. If you see Tony remind him that I hate him for that stupid food suggestion, this is awful."
"Will do doll." I walk out into the living room and Nat is walking in. "What are you doing?" I ask.
"Figured you were worried about little miss food poisoning up here so I figured I'd keep her company while you are gone."
"Thanks...I gotta go but we should be back tomorrow night."
"Sounds good."
"Tell her I'll call her later."
"Okay." She laughs.
I take the elevator up to the hanger and walk into the jet. Tony is dropping something off for Sam and I just look at him.
"She worse today?" He ask cringing.
"Yup." I say. "She's going to kill you."
"I've never had a problem there before."
"Dude she has been throwing up since five yesterday morning." Says Sam.
"Yeah I know, I feel awful. I'll go check on her in a little bit."
"Mhm." I say as he walks off.
"It can't be that bad." Says Steve.
"Steve she practically slept on the bathroom floor all night." I say.
"Oh man."
"Yeah, it's worse than when you had it that one time."
"You know what..."
"We get it you got sick a lot." Laughs Sam. "Let's go though. I want to get to this scumbag before he makes his next move."
"Agreed." I say taking a seat.
The three of us have to fly all the way to Germany so it's going to be a while. I keep getting updates from Nat on Taylor. Apparently she got super dehydrated which is what I was afraid of so she had to go to medical for a few hours. They got her rehydrated and Natasha got her to eat a few crackers and stuff so hopefully that helps. Once we land we go to grab our car and I call Taylor.
"Hey baby." I say as she picks up.
"Hi." She whispers. She sounds tired.
"We're you asleep?"
"No, just tired."
"I can call back."
"No stay."
"Okay, what are you doing?"
"I was about to attempt to go take a shower but I don't know if I can stand that long. Nat went to go let Koda out and is then going to go change and come back down. Apparently she doesn't want me down here by myself all night."
"I don't either."
"Dr. Reed said I should start feeling better tomorrow."
"So you finally let her look at you." I smile.
"Yeah."
"You sure your okay, you sound upset."
"I'm fine." She sighs. "I just miss you."
"I could have..."
"Stayed back I know. I want you there but I also want you here. I want you there so that you can kick his ass for me but I want you here because I feel like crap and I only want you here right now."
"I'll be home tomorrow night okay?"
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too doll. Get some sleep and feel better."
"Thanks. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye."
I hang up and Steve smiles at me. "You two are just too cute."
"Shut up punk."
"You guys ready?" Ask Sam walking over with the car keys.
"Yup let's go." I say grabbing my stuff.
We go settle into the safe house and head to bed so that we can wake up in the morning and get everything done. I get a text from Natasha as I'm getting into bed. It's a picture of Taylor asleep hugging my pillow. I have to smile a little.
"Thanks for taking care of her." I send back.
"No problem, find Brock and kick his ass."
"That's the plan. Call me if there's a problem over there."
"Will do, be safe. Talk to you later."
"Talk to you soon."
I then put my phone up and go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
When I wake up the next morning I make sure I have everything before leaving my room. Sam and Steve are waiting on me so we head out as soon as I'm ready. We drive out as close as we can get to the base and then we get out and start walking. We sneak onto the small base and are surprised when we don't find anyone guarding the halls. We make our way through the building and make it to the lab where we see them experimenting on someone. The only problem is they just flat lined.
"He's in there." I whisper.
"We don't have a plan." Points out Steve.
"We can take them. There aren't that many of them and we are far more skilled." I say.
"I agree with Bucky, we've got this Steve." Says Sam.
"Okay." He sighs.
We burst in the room and I head straight for Rumlow while Sam and Steve take the others. I don't hesitate before punching him in the jaw. He stumbles back and smirks.
"Took you this long to find me, I'm disappointed."
"Shut up." I growl hitting him again.
"Good to know that got to you." He says hitting me.
"If you don't shut up I actually will kill you."
"You won't get the chance." He says dodging another hit.
"What do you..." And then I'm cut off by shock to my side. He threw something at me that stunned me and it's not left me motionless on the floor.
"Tell Taylor I say hi." He says before kicking me and running off. Steve try's to stop him with his shield but it doesn't work.
"I'll get him." Says Sam.
"You okay Buck?" Ask Steve walking over and helping me sit up.
"My right side is tingling and he just got away. No I am not okay."
"I'm sorry." He says helping me up.
We got everyone else at the base but Rumlow. Steve and I walk out to see Sam landing.
"I couldn't find him. Don't worry we'll get him."
"Mhm." I say starting to walk back towards the car. "That was just pathetic." I mutter.
Neither one of them talks to me on the way to the jet. We load up silently and thankfully get in the air quickly. I just want to get home, this was a total bust and I'm angry. Once we get back to the tower I go up to Taylor and I's floor. I don't see Natasha anywhere but I go back in our room and find Taylor watching a movie in bed she looks like she is feeling better.
"Hey baby." I say giving her a small smile.
"Hey." She smiles. "You didn't get him did you?" She ask as I change.
I plop down on our bed and sigh. "Nope but I got some bruised ribs as a reminder. I'm sorry, he just got away. I was so mad."
"It's okay." She smiles. "I'm just glad to have you back."
"You feeling better?"
"Not as nauseous but I still don't really have an appetite. I've had a few crackers and some water today."
"I'm sorry." I say kissing her head.
"Have you had dinner?" She ask quietly curling into my side.
"Not yet. I'll probably go grab something in the kitchen real quick and then shower."
"Okay." She mumbles. "I'm going to bed."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too." She smiles.
I get up and make myself a quick bite to eat in the kitchen. Once I'm done I rinse my plate off and let Koda out one more time before quietly going in our room and showering. Once I finish I throw on some sweatpants and then inspect my ribs. They are definitely bruised but they should be fine in a few days. I tiredly walk out into our room and crawl into placing an arm over Taylor. She moves closer to me before drifting off to sleep again. I press a kiss to her head and then drift off to sleep. It's good to be home.
Taylor's POV
It's very rare that we ever have a mission the required the whole team, including the hulk, but when we find one of the biggest hydra bases we've ever found we all suit up and head out. I'm piloting with Clint while everyone talks strategy behind us.
"Taylor?" Whispers Clint.
"Hm." I say looking at him.
"If we find Rumlow promise me you won't do anything stupid."
"I won't." I smile. "But I don't think he is stupid enough to be there. It's too big of an operation. He knows we are after him, he won't be there."
"It's just wishful thinking."
"For all of us." I laugh. I hear heavy footsteps behind us and I turn around to see Bucky walking over. He sits down behind me and smiles. "What's the plane?"
"You're going with me and Clint, Steve and Natasha are going together and then Tony and Sam will be covering outside. And then Bruce will come in if we need him."
"Sounds good." I smile.
A little while later we make it so Sam and Tony jump out of the plain and we land before joining up with them. It's a massive shit show when we arrive.
"Bruce be on standby." I hear Steve say into the comms.
"Okay." He responds.
"Tony and Sam can you two handle those two guard towers?" I ask.
"Got it." Says Tony.
I look over and see Bucky looking a little overwhelmed so I shoot some arrows and take out a few guys. "Thanks Tay." He says moving on.
"No problem."
"Clint, Taylor, and Bucky first chance you get I want the three of you inside." Says Steve.
"You got it Cap." Says Clint.
I get separated from them both at some point but we meet back up when I make it to the entrance.
"What exactly are we looking for?" I ask.
"We think they got more of the serum. Let me know if you find it." Says Steve.
"We'll be in there in a minute." Says Natasha.
"So we should split up..." I say. "It's a big complex."
"Lets go then." Says Bucky.
We split up and I make my way to the second floor. I look around taking men out as they come at me.
"I found it." Says Clint.
"Where?" I ask.
"First floor on the south side. Where are you?"
"Second floor north side...ill be there soon."
"I'm close Clint, I'll be right there." Says Bucky.
"Okay."
I turn a corner to go down the stairs. Unfortunately I see this massive guy in front of me. I mean bigger than Steve and Bucky.
"Well shit." I mutter pulling a knife out and putting my bow up.
"Taylor you good?" Ask Bucky.
"Uh I'm going to need backup."
"On my way." I hear Steve say. "I'm close to you."
The guy comes at me and I dodge it before trying to take a hit at him he punches me in the gut and I somehow manage to get my knife in his leg. He groans and slams me down on the ground. I land weird on my shoulder and I hear it pop. I somehow get up quickly and kick him which seems to do nothing. He just laughs and pulls the knife out of his leg before pulling something out of his pocket. It releases gas and I feel myself becoming light headed. I fall the the ground and just as a black out I see Steve's shield hit him in the head. Then I'm out. I wake up to Steve looking at me.
"Taylor?"
"What the hell was that?" I ask tiredly. I think it hit me head on the way down and now it's pounding.
"I don't know but you've been out for a few minutes. Let's get you out of here."
He goes to help me up but I forgot about my shoulder. "Ah shit Steve stop."
"What?"
"My shoulder."
"I'm sorry, hold on." He readjust his arms and then helps me up. I lean on him and he smiles. "You good?"
"Dizzy."
"I can carry you."
"It's okay."
"Alright come on Tay."
We slowly walk towards the exit where we find most of the team. Natasha must be off getting Bruce back instead of the hulk. I know we still have to walk back to the jet and everything but I'm too dizzy.
"Stop." I whisper.
"You good?" Ask Steve.
"I'm too dizzy."
"Taylor what's wrong?" Ask Bucky walking over.
"She was gassed...not sure with what yet. Pretty sure she dislocated her shoulder too."
"Think I hit my head too." I mumble.
"Come here." He says picking me up.
"Your head is bleeding." I point out.
"I'm fine." He says as we walk back.
"He's got a gash to the side too." Says Clint.
"Safe to say no one made it out without an injury." Says Sam.
"Bucky..."
"I'm fine."
I'm too out of it to argue so I let him carry me back. "What happened?" Ask Bruce as Bucky set me down.
"She got in a fight and dislocated her shoulder, was gassed by something, and hit her head when she passed out." Says Steve.
"Probably won't know what it is until we get back. We would need to run some blood test to make sure there isn't any damage." Says Bruce sitting down in front of me. I know that when he hulks out he usually likes to be by himself but right now he can't, I feel bad. "Clint how long till take off?" He ask.
"I can have us in the air in two minutes. Why?"
"Just seeing if I have time to pop her shoulder in."
"Do it." I mumble.
"We might have some morphine..." Starts Natasha.
"It's fine just do it."
Bucky moves so Bruce can get a hold of my shoulder. He counts to three before popping it back in and despite clenching my teeth a scream still escapes my lips.
"Nat hold her arm like this I'm going to grab a sling."
"Okay." I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in and Nat smiles at me. "You okay?"
"Mhm." I say bitting my lip.
"Here you go Taylor." Says Bruce putting it on."
"Thanks." I mutter.
"Clint we can take off." Says Steve walking up front.
Bucky sits down next to me and Bruce looks at me. "Still feeling dizzy?"
"And nauseous."
"Probably a combination of the gas and hitting your head. You may have a small concussion. Try not to fall asleep okay?"
"Mhm."
"Bucky let me take a look at your side."
"It's fine."
"Just let him look at it." I say leaning my head against the wall. We go to take off and I groan. "Trash can?" I ask quickly.
"Here." Says Natasha.
I puke into it as we take off and I feel Bucky rub my back. I look over at him and he gives me a smile as Bruce is stitching him up. Once Bruce finishes with Bucky I lay my head down in his lap and he puts an arm over me.
"It's going to be a long flight." I mumble.
"I'm sorry." He says.
I interlock our fingers and look up at him. "You should have seen the size of this dude." I smirk.
"Bigger than Steve?"
"Mhm."
"Geez Tay, you took him?"
"Didn't last long but yeah."
"You always love a challenge." Laughs Natasha across from us.
"I do."
Not only did Bucky and I get ourselves hurt but Natasha got some good gashes, Sam sprained his wrist, and Steve got some bruised ribs. Once Bruce finishes patching up what he can he goes and sits by himself with headphones in. Natasha goes and sits up front with Clint. Tony looks like he is taking a short nap and Steve and Sam are sitting across from Bucky and I talking. Bucky is running his fingers through my hair and I close my eyes.
"Don't fall asleep." He whispers.
"You're not helping." I mumble.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No..."
"Okay."
"I'm going to puke again."
"Seriously?"
"Mhm." I say sitting up quickly. I grab the trash can and sure enough it happens again. I'm scarred to see what happens if we hit turbulence.
"You going to be okay Tay?" Ask Sam.
"Not sure." I groan.
"You done for right now?" Ask Bucky. I just nod my head. "Come lay back down." He says gently. I carefully do thanks to my shoulder and he gives me a small smile. "I love you." He whispers.
"Love you too." I mumble.
It is in fact a long flight back to the tower. We don't get back till late at night and I still have to go down to medical. Bucky helps me up and takes on most of my weight since I'm still pretty dizzy and we go down there with Bruce so he can fill Dr. Reed in on everything. Once we get down there I lay down on my side as best I can while we wait for Dr. Reed and Bruce to finish talking. Bucky sits next to me and smiles gently.
"I'm ready for bed." He says.
"Me too...I'm sorry to keep you down here. You could go ahead back up."
"I'm staying here till I know you're okay."
"Thanks."
"Taylor can you sit up for me?" Ask Dr. Reed walking in.
"Mhm."
I do and she smiles at me. "You are down here way too much for my liking. Let me check for a concussion first and then I'll run some blood test. Most likely that gas was harmless but I just want to make sure."
"Okay."
"How are you feeling?"
"Uh...dizzy, nauseous, tired."
"And the shoulder?"
"Hurts a lot."
"I can get you some pain killers. You have a minor concussion so lots of rest tomorrow okay? No training for the next week at least but that shouldn't be a problem because of the shoulder. I'll do blood test and then I'll let you go get some sleep."
"Okay."
She draws blood samples and goes to look at them so Bucky and I sit there in mostly silence both of us exhausted. I'm holding his hand and he is rubbing my hand with his thumb. Dr. Reed comes back in fifteen minutes later and sits down.
"Whatever knocked you out was completely harmless, it's essentially what's in your arrows. It's got some side effects but you'll be fine by tomorrow. Bad news is I can't give you pain killers."
"Why?" I groan.
"You're pregnant." She says.
If I wasn't awake before I am now and apparently Bucky is too. "What?" I ask.
"I'm surprised I didn't catch this when you had food poisoning last month but yeah. Two and a half months Taylor."
"Oh my god..." Whispers Bucky.
"So you are off duty effective immediately and I want to see you back down here tomorrow so I can check everything out but right now I want both of you to go get some sleep."
"Okay..." I say still in shock.
"Congrats you two." She smiles before leaving.
"Uh..." I start.
"We're going to be parents." He says looking at me.
"Yup...I was not expecting that."
"Me neither." He says. "But I'm happy...beyond happy."
"Me too." I smile.
"Come on let's go get cleaned up and in bed."
He helps me up and we go up to our floor. I quickly change into shorts and one of his shirts and get into bed while he showers. He comes out and gets in bed next to me.
"Your shoulder okay?" He whispers.
"Mhm. I love you."
"I love you too." He smiles kissing me. "So so much."
"I'm kind of in shock..." I say.
"Me too...when should we tell the team?"
"We're going to have to tomorrow...they are going to know something is up since I'm off duty."
"I just wish we could have it to ourselves for a little bit."
"I know I'm sorry." I say.
"It's okay...I probably couldn't keep it a secret if I wanted to."
"Your probably right." I laugh. "Okay I really need to sleep now."
"Me too. Goodnight doll."
"Night handsome." I smile.
