I do not own any recognizable characters, except Darcy's family who are all based on real life family members.

Chapter Twenty Nine : Donuts and Bugs Bunny

Darcy sat on Steve's couch holding a silently sobbing Beth. Mary next to her a bag of frozen peas over her eye. Kitty on the floor rocking Edith rose , Ma had commandeered Steve's kitchen to make tea. pops looking out the window hands behind his back. Steve entered the apartment sliding his phone into his pocket.

" Should we order some food ?" He asked

" You don't have to dear I don't think the girls are hungry" Ma said as she poured tea into mugs.

" I could eat" Darcy said the same time Pops did .

" Darcy, Frank." Ma snapped as Steve chuckled.

" Maybe donuts" Beth said on a whisper Ma didn't argue with Beth and Darcy figured it was good Beth wanted to eat something. Steve turned to leave and Mary popped off the couch.

" I'll go with you" she said then followed Steve out with Pops on their tail in search for sugary donut goodness.

" Darcy I'm sorry." Beth mumbled wiping away tears.

" Why shit happens. Not all relationships are perfect but I can tell you and Sam have a strong one." Darcy said as she ruffled Beth's hair.

" It'll turn out" Ma said as she came over with mugs.

" Your father and I broke up twice before we married dear, marriage is complex some people get along better than others. But I have no doubt Sam will realize he was an idiot."

" Men just need the stupid knocked out of them sometimes." Kitty said , Darcy still wondered who Kitty was dating. Edith Rose yawned and Ma and Kitty set to work trying to put together her bassinet. Beth got up and went to go change into pajama's. And Darcy was trying not to laugh at Kitty who was trying to keep the bassinet up.

Darcy was rocking a sleeping Edith when there was knock at the door . Everyone froze , Darcy headed to the door and peeked out the peep was Bucky why he was knocking she wasn't sure, He had a key. But she opened the door shaking her her head as she noticed he was decked out in motorcycle leathers.

" Hey Buck, come on in." He however was looking at Edith in her arms.

" Oh this is my niece Edith." He seemed to relax a little bit as he followed Darcy inside. Her mother and sisters were eyeing Bucky.

" This is my Ma and my sister Beth and my sister Kitty. This is Steve's other best friend Bucky." He nodded to them but stayed close behind her

" Is Steve home?" she looked up at him and just knew something was wrong.

" He went to get donuts ." She passed Edith to Kitty, hooked a finger in his belt loops and towing him towards Steve's drawing room. closing the door behind them she turns toward Bucky.

" You okay Buck? You look really out of it." She said stroking his arm, he nodded.

" I had another dream and needed to see Steve." He mumbled, ah and it was only her and her family.

" And its probably not helping it's just me and the rest of my loony toons." Bucky snorted at her reference.

" You know who the loony toons are?" She asked bewildered.

" Yes they were out in the early thirties and during the war a few too, I only saw one or two for war bonds." He mumbled

" Then you never seen some of there gold. Come on will get settled on the couch watch a few episodes , Ma can make some popcorn." He nodded

" Yeah sounds good." He followed her out of the drawing room and into the living room.

" Ma make some popcorn ." She called as she pulled out her portable DVD case and found the Best of Bugs Bunny DVD popping it into the player. Kitty was still fighting with the bassinet , Buck looked over at her and silently took it from her. Then with a few quick movements he fixed the bassinet placed it down ready for Edith.

" Damn" kitty said as Beth placed Edith into it. He sat on the couch and pulled Darcy next to him putting his arm around her. She knew he wasn't macking on her , He was just uncomfortable so he was holding the only person he knew close. Ma, Beth and Kitty raised there eyebrows, Darcy reached over and shook bucks dog tags. And they understood immediately that Bucky was an ex solider and stayed quiet. But as the cartoon started and Ma brought over the popcorn he began to relax a little. So when the door opened and Mary, Steve and Pops walked in. He didn't look anxious as he had when he came in.

" Hey Punk." he said nonchalantly Steve shook his head.

" Hey Jerk, can you get your arm off my dame." He said setting the bag of donuts on the table. Bucky grinned kissed Darcy on the temple, then followed Steve to the drawing room. Darcy shook her head and hurried to get a donut while there still was some. Everyone had a mouthful of donut when there was another knock Darcy again went to open the door. Sam stood there looking contrite

" I'll get Beth I don't know if she'll talk to you." She closed the door and went to get Beth. Who was looking at her with raised eyebrows silently asking whats up.

" Sam's here you want to talk or not?" Beth sighed then headed towards the door stepping out onto the hall with a frown on her face. Darcy and the rest of the family were surrounding the door trying to listen. They stood there for what felt like an hour before the door began to open. And the family scrambled towards the couch. Beth stepped back inside she looked very angry.

"So" kitty wheedled it was all Beth needed to explode.

" Sweet baby Jesus! I love that man but I want to strangle his ass. He wants to work slowly on our relationship!? What is his problem he was never this stupid." sighing she shook her head.

" Are you over?" Mary asked softly

" Were not over, were still together but I swear to all that is holy we have issues that are between me and him. So can you guys stay here and take care of Edith. I'm going home with him so we can talk." Everyone nodded and Beth put on her shoes and went to get her purse she waved goodbye and left the house. Darcy hoped everything went well for them.
