*~*~* May 9th, 2017- Wakanda *~*~*
Ellie woke up on the morning of her 12th week doctor's appointment and ran her hand over onto Bucky's spot. Sighing when she felt the empty bed, she sat up rubbing her eyes. Getting up, she walked over to the closet and grabbed her normal every day wear, a tank top and shorts. The weather in Wakanda had turned hot and humid within the past month. Every day like clockwork the rain would start around 3pm and it would cool everything down if you were lucky until the sun set. If not, the sun would make everything into a steam bath instead.
Walking out of her and Bucky's apartment in the palace, she walked to the community kitchen to see Natasha and Wanda already eating.
Wanda looked over at her, "Mor…" Wanda said as she squealed.
Ellie covered her ears, "What was that for!"
"You are showing!" Wanda said as she walked over to her, "Oh it's so cute! I've been communicating with it for a month now but I can see it!"
Natasha swallowed the bite she was chewing on, "Barely, but yes you can tell there is something there now"
"Anyone know where Bucky is?" Ellie asked walking into the kitchen, "I woke up and he is gone"
"Steve went out running earlier, Sam came last night after we all went to bed" Natasha told her looking at her over her spoon, "Does he usually run with Steve?"
Ellie laughed looking through the cabinets, "Not that I know of. I didn't realize Steve was a runner"
"Oh yeah" Wanda said nodding, "Every day before the sun comes up"
"My Steve?" Ellie asked pouring herself a bowl of cereal, "I guess now that he can, he would. Only time you will catch me running is if I am running away from something or to save someone"
"Amen girl" Wanda said high fiving her as she walked past.
"You are having your checkup today aren't you Nat?" Ellie asked sitting next to Wanda.
Natasha nodded, "Hopefully they give me the all clear so I can get back out there. There is a mess in the Middle East and we were just starting to crack the surface"
"Be careful though. Steve cares about you a lot" Ellie told her as she took a bite.
Natasha sighed, "I didn't think, I just reacted. Steve… he probably could have taken those bullets a lot better than I could have but…" She trailed off as they heard laughter from the elevator.
A hot and sweaty pair of men stepped off the elevator. Both were shirtless and Steve had just pushed Bucky, who had fallen into the wall leaving a small dent.
They both stopped when they saw the girls staring at them.
"Hey guys" Steve said scratching the back of his neck.
Bucky looked at Ellie, "What's wrong?"
"I… I have something to show you… in the room" Ellie said as she grabbed his hand and led them back to their apartment.
Wanda snorted into her cereal as they heard the door slam, "Word of warning, don't go back there unless you absolutely have to for awhile"
"Why?" Steve asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Never mind" Wanda said giving Natasha a knowing look.
"You have your checkup today right?" Steve asked opening the refrigerator.
"Yes, I hope they give me the all clear so I can get back to everything. Fury even called me asking if I was ready to go back, I guess there is something else that went down in Syria" Natasha told him as he opened the bottle of water and tilted his head back, downing it without having to breathe.
"I… what is that?" Steve asked as he heard something as he threw away the bottle.
Wanda snorted and coughed on the milk in her cereal.
"Nothing Steve, so… Steve, Steve don't go down there!" Natasha said as Steve walked down towards the apartments.
"I hear… oh my god" Steve said covering his ears as he walked quickly back to the kitchen.
Wanda fell out of her chair laughing, "She told you not to go down there"
"That's my sister!" Steve said turning on the water, "God, now that I've heard it I can't not hear it"
Natasha tried to keep her straight face but started cracking up too.
"Funny, real funny" Steve said as Ellie let out a particularly loud moan, "Godddd"
"Steve, they are married and they are pregnant, obviously it happens" Natasha told him.
"Still… that's my best friend and my sister… it suddenly got weird" Steve said as he heard Ellie say 'Harder', "Okay I'm out of here"
Natasha laughed as she stood up, "Come on, let's go on a walk. I wanted to go into the town anyways before my appointment"
"Gladly" Steve said as he grabbed a shirt and put it on following her to the elevator.
Ellie sighed as she opened her eyes. Smiling she looked to see Bucky was sound asleep as she laid on his chest.
Laying a light kiss on his chest, he groaned, "Seriously Ellie, you tired me out… let me rest a little"
Ellie giggled against his skin, "You weren't a onetime man before"
Bucky cracked one eyelid open and looked at her, "Really? Angel that was five in a row thank you very much"
"Which for us… is like one" Ellie told him as she straddled his waist.
Bucky groaned as he grabbed her hips as she moved against him.
"Okay, my serum can't be super soldier… mine has to be more like half super… more like great soldier… really solid" Bucky said grinning up at her.
"That you are" Ellie said leaning down and kissing him.
"Hmmm we never got to this point with the other baby. The Doctor Spock book said it would come but… I like it" Bucky said as he put his arm around her and flipped them over.
He leaned down and kissed her neck when a knock came on their door.
"Um… Ellie, your doctor's appointment is in an hour" Natasha said.
"Mood killer!" Bucky yelled to the door.
"Bucky shhh!" Ellie said giggling as she cleared her throat, "Thanks Natasha, I'll be out in a second"
"Oh no you don't, you got the engine going… you have to keep it going" Bucky said running his hand up her side.
"Bucky stop, we have our appointment in an hour" Ellie said as she pushed him back onto his back on the bed, "She said that we can get the first ultrasound today. I want to see the baby" Ellie said as she stood up and went to the closet.
Bucky sat up, "Wait we can see the baby?"
"Yes, so get up" Ellie said throwing clothes at him.
Bucky got up and put his clothes on.
Ellie walked out of their apartment, "Hey Nat, ready?" She asked as she saw Natasha sitting in the sitting area watching TV.
Natasha shook her head, "You two… poor Steve. You do remember he has super hearing right?"
"Wait what?" Ellie asked confused.
Bucky laughed as he walked over pulling his shirt on, "I think Steve heard stuff that he wishes he hadn't Angel"
"From who?" Ellie asked still confused.
"Us… in our bedroom" Bucky explained with a grin.
"Why was… oh shit" Ellie said groaning running her hand over her face, "Super hearing"
Bucky and Natasha laughed and Ellie elbowed him.
"That is embarrassing!" Ellie told him, "What if we would hear Steve in that way"
Bucky snorted, "He'd actually have to have sex to do that. I don't think he even… never mind"
"Ewww Bucky" Ellie said covering her ears, "Let's just drop this and go"
*~*~* May 9th, 2017- Wakanda Hospital *~*~*
Natasha laid on the table in the hospital as Dr. Ksie scanned her body with his kimoyo bead and projected her body on the display screen.
"This is just amazing… even by our medical and technological standards" Dr. Ksie said as he looked at Natasha, "You are… from what I can tell 100% healed. I don't even perceive any scar tissue. The organ injuries, the fracture… from appearances and all my findings, they are all healed. It's truly remarkable"
Natasha pulled her shirt down and sat up, "So I can go back to normal activities?"
"I don't advise being shot again but physically you can go back to all normal activities with the normal precautions, even lifting… which I assume with Captain Rogers serum you can lift more now" Dr. Ksie said.
Natasha looked over at Ellie and Bucky, "We should have a contest or measure just how strong we all are"
Ellie looked over at her, "We actually discussed this because I really don't know the range of my abilities. I really don't know how to quantify it though"
"If you are interested I am sure we could attempt to quantify and measure your abilities. At the very least how much you can lift or how fast you can run" Dr. Ksie told her.
"What about… other abilities?" Ellie asked.
They all looked at her.
"What you do mean by other abilities?" Dr. Ksie asked interested.
"I can control electric I guess you can say, I thought it was just lights but I basically can control forms of electricity" Ellie said, "I put my hand on a lamp in our apartment and turned off Steve's record player in his room the other day"
"So your powers can travel?" Dr. Ksie asked curious.
Ellie nodded.
"We won't do it here but next time you are in the lab we can test them out a bit. Are you two ready to see your baby?" Dr. Ksie asked.
"Do you think that we will be able to see the sex of the baby?" Ellie asked as she climbed onto the bed.
"No, next ultrasound… more than likely. Honestly every baby looks more like a girl at this stage. If it is a boy, the testes haven't dropped yet" Dr. Ksie said.
"Do you guys want me to leave?" Natasha asked pointing at the door.
"Hell no" Shuri said as she walked over, "We are going to be the Aunties. We have to be here for this"
Bucky looked at Ellie, "We should have invited Steve"
"Hold on" Natasha said as she called him, "Hey Steve, where are you? No, nothing is wrong. We were just wondering because I'm going to be here for the ultrasound and so is Shuri and… alright see you in five"
"Where was he?" Bucky asked Natasha.
"He said that he would see us in five minutes" Natasha told him.
"So Ellie, while we wait. How are you feeling?" Dr. Ksie asked.
"Honestly, amazing. I really didn't have any morning sickness but the nausea that I did have, is gone" Ellie told him.
"Well, we will double check through the ultrasound but you should be around 12 weeks. Your uterus should be moving upward in your abdomen so less trips to the bathroom in your future. The tiredness should be going away but the headaches and dizziness will continue, especially with your body just because of the baby's needs. We drew some blood and let's see…" Dr. Ksie said looking at the results on his tablet, "All the levels look great. Pretty near perfect in fact. From these preliminary blood tests, everything is looking to be right on track"
"So doesn't appear that the serums are causing anything abnormal?" Ellie asked as Bucky took her hand.
"No, not as far as blood results at least. But the serum does affect both of your DNAs. The baby will have 50% of each of your DNA. Keep in mind, your DNA is mutated" Dr. Ksie told them, "That doesn't mean that something will be wrong but there is no real… study or way of knowing how it will affect fetal development. Everything is looking positive though. I just want you both knowing everything"
"I appreciate that Doc" Ellie said as she rubbed her thumb over Bucky's hand which was squeezing hers.
"I had tried to recreate the combined mutations in my computer models and the models show an increase in rate of development as well as an increase in the needed nutrients" Shuri told them.
"If that's so, we just need to monitor it. The increase could be stressful on Ellie's body. Positive is that we are at 12 weeks. The percentage rate of a successful pregnancy just jumped dramatically to 88%" Dr. Ksie said as Steve ran into the room tripping over the carpet and falling.
"Way to go Steve" Bucky said as Natasha helped him up.
"Did I miss it?" Steve asked scrambling up.
"No, we haven't even done it yet" Ellie told him.
"We will do a traditional ultrasound first then we will do a Wakandan ultrasound" Dr. Ksie said, "Go ahead and lay back Ellie"
Ellie laid back on the table and pulled her shirt up under her breasts.
"This will be cold" Dr. Ksie said as he squirted some gel onto her belly then turned the machine next to him on, "First I'll do it in 2D, then 3D"
Dr. Ksie put the device on her belly then moved it across her skin. Ellie bit her lip and squeezed Bucky's hand waiting for something to be said or heard.
A sound filled the room and Ellie let out a sigh of relief.
"Nice strong heartbeat" Dr. Ksie told them, "The baby is measuring a little further along, more towards 13 weeks but nothing extreme" He hit some buttons and the picture became clearer.
"Oh Bucky" Ellie said looking at him, "Look there is the head…"
Bucky stared at the screen as the baby moved around, "Oh my god… it's a baby"
Dr. Ksie laughed, "Here is the skull, brain… two arms, two legs… that quivering is the heart… stomach is here… pelvis… bladder"
"How does a baby pee?"
Everyone looked at Steve.
"What? It's an honest question" Steve said innocently.
"The baby pees in the amniotic fluid" Dr. Ksie told him, "The fluid it is floating in. The black space around it"
"So wait…it's basically floating in its pee?" Bucky asked taken aback.
"A very small percentage" Dr. Ksie said looking at the women.
"Really boys?" Natasha asked looking at them, "That's what you are wondering about?"
"Let me just do a quick measurement… fluid measures at the proper rate in the back of the neck. Less possibilities of Down's syndrome. The placenta is in the proper place. Everything is looking great" Dr. Ksie told them, "Let me switch over to the 3D mode"
Bucky kissed the back of her hand, "The baby is beautiful"
Steve walked closer as Dr. Ksie put it into 3D, "It looks like an alien"
Bucky and Ellie looked at him.
"Thanks Steve" Ellie said.
"Just saying… or a blob" Steve said turning his head.
"Oh wow… look you can see where its eyes are… and oh El, look its nose!" Bucky said amazed.
"Further along we will get a clearer and clearer picture" Dr. Ksie told him.
"I love technology" Bucky said with a smile.
"You are such a geek" Ellie said with a smile.
"Everything is looking great. I am really happy with the results" Dr. Ksie told her, "But I still want you back here in 2 weeks. Not for an ultrasound, just a checkup"
Ellie sat up and took the towel he offered her to clean herself up, "Will do Doc"
Bucky just stared at the now still screen that held the image of their baby, "How new is this technology?"
"For ultrasounds? Within the last ten to 15 years. We've used this on internal medicine for a longer period" Dr. Ksie told him, "Good seeing you all"
"Thank you Dr. Ksie" Ellie said pulling her shirt down, "So what did you think Steve?"
"That was amazing" Steve said, "Technology has advanced so much"
"Hold on, wait a minute, it's my turn. Lay back down there" Shuri told her as she brought her equipment over, "Time for the royal treatment my sister"
"That's right, you were doing it your way" Bucky said.
Shuri turned her screen on then hit a combination of kimoyo beads and ran her wrist over Ellie's body.
Above the screen a representation of a baby appeared.
"What was that about technology Captain Rogers?" Shuri asked with a grin.
"It's almost as if I could pick it up" Steve said amazed looking at it, reaching out towards it.
"You can see everything" Bucky said amazed running his hand over what would be the baby's back and his hand went through it.
"Unfortunately the baby is curled up… we cannot see if it may be a girl or a boy. I think I could tell" Shuri told them.
"Let's try this" Ellie said as she pushed on her stomach.
The baby moved slightly then rolled over.
"You stubborn little thing" Ellie said pushing from the other side.
The baby rolled on its back legs wide open then the feed cut off.
Shuri stared at it, "My god… the baby is able to shield. It's literally blocking my frequencies"
"So… guess we do have a super baby" Ellie said to Bucky.
"Well… shielding is okay. He can fight off attacks that way" Bucky said looking at Steve.
"I think he just wanted to show off that he could do it so that he wouldn't show us if he is a he or a she" Shuri said as she shook her head.
Ellie laughed, "Thank you Shuri and sorry the baby is not more cooperative"
"Not a problem. I am always here for you and my little niece or nephew" Shuri said with a smile.
"Actually Shuri, I have a question" Bucky said looking at her.
"I'm all ears" Shuri told him.
"You mentioned that you might be able to make me an artificial arm" Bucky said.
Shuri squealed, "I already have a prototype made. I will bring it to your apartment tonight. I can't wait to show it to you"
Ellie watched her basically skip out of the room, "What brought the change?"
"I want to be able to hold our baby El… I probably could get used to doing things with it one handed but… I miss having two arms. Everything was easier that way" Bucky told her as he pulled her close, "I just want to be able to hold you and touch you again. When we are together, I miss being able to run my hand over your body as I am over top of you"
Ellie's cheeks turned bright red, "Bucky, Steve is right… where'd Steve go?" Ellie said looking behind him.
Bucky kissed her neck, "Want to go back to the apartment?"
"Mmmm yes" Ellie said as she pulled him down into a hard kiss, "Let's go before I let you take me right here on this bed"
*~*~* May 10th, 2017- Wakanda *~*~*
Natasha looked over at Bucky, "I don't know about you but I'm going to go have a seat" She said pointing towards the bench on the side of the road.
"Good idea" Bucky said as they walked over to a bench and sat down, "How long do you think they will keep this up?"
Natasha shrugged, "With Steve, who knows. He doesn't like losing"
Bucky grinned putting his arm over the back of the bench, "Never has been able to back down from a fight. I don't know how many times he got knocked out and I found him in an alley"
Ellie ran past laughing with Steve about 50 feet behind her.
"Well I guess Ellie is winning this one" Natasha said watching them already running out of their sight, "But he is just taking it easy on her"
Bucky looked over at her, "Look, I know your lying face and your ticks. Be honest with me"
Natasha rolled her eyes and looked at him, "What?"
"Are you with Steve?" Bucky asked.
Natasha looked at him, "No"
"Just saying, no romantic feelings?" Bucky asked wondering.
"Why jealous?" Natasha asked cockily.
"No…nothing to be jealous about" Bucky said as he watched Steve run up behind Ellie and scoop her up them both laughing, "I love her more than I ever thought was possible. She is it for me. Has been since she was 18"
"Only at 18? Didn't you know her before?" Natasha wondered.
"Yeah but… I didn't realize how I felt about her until then. Her ma took her to get her hair and makeup done for her 18th birthday" Bucky said with a smile as he closed his eyes, "I saw her and literally got sick. My stomach was in knots, my chest felt as if it were going to explode. She was beautiful. Not that she wasn't before but… she knocked me off my feet. I thought I had food poisoning for something but no it was just her. She's always kept me on my toes"
Ellie and Steve walked over to them laughing.
"Tired yet?" Natasha asked.
"No" Steve said with a laugh, "She can actually keep up with me now"
"You are just a tad bit faster though" Ellie said as she sat in Bucky's lap, "Hey baby"
Bucky grinned as he gave her a kiss, "You stink"
Ellie gasped mock offended, "Excuse me?"
"A good stink. A need for a shower to… clean off stink" Bucky told her running his hand up her back then pulling her head down to his.
"Seriously you two? Knock it off" Steve said shaking his head, "I don't need images to go with the sounds"
Ellie giggled into Bucky's neck, "Sorry Steve"
Bucky got up and knelt in front of Ellie, "Want a ride?"
Ellie climbed onto his back and buried her face in his neck.
Steve shook his head and jokingly looked at Natasha, "Want a ride too?"
Natasha grinned, "Sure"
Steve looked at her, "Really?"
"Then you and Barnes can see who is really the fastest" Natasha told him, "Evenly matched"
Steve knelt down and Natasha climbed on his back.
"You can do this" Natasha said into his ear.
"First back to the apartments and the kitchen… makes lunch" Ellie said.
"Get ready, get set… go!" Natasha yelled.
Steve and Bucky took off running down the street.
Ellie giggled as she held on tighter.
"See a second arm would be helpful here" Bucky yelled as her legs started to slip.
"Don't worry about me" Ellie said holding onto his chest tighter with her legs.
Bucky pushed forward faster and caught up with Steve again, who had Natasha laughing so hard that she was crying. They turned the corner towards the palace and Ellie held up her Kimoyo beads and the doors open.
"Take the stairs" Ellie told him once they entered the palace, "The ones on the left"
Bucky tucked to the left and ran up the stairs taking them three at a time as Steve went to the right.
"Go up to the third floor then cut up the stairs by the training room" Ellie told him.
Running past the training room, and up the second set of stairs, they bust out into the apartments floor. A laughing Natasha was heard from the opposite side of the floor.
"We're closer!" Ellie yelled as Steve appeared on the opposite side.
"Faster Steve!" Natasha yelled.
Bucky ran to the door to the living areas and opened it running through with Steve on his tail.
"We won!" Ellie yelled as Bucky ran to the recliner and sat them down.
Steve ran to the couch and tripped on the edge of the coffee table, knocking them both hard into the couch. So hard it nearly sent the couch tumbling backwards.
They all broke into a fit of laughter.
"So who won?"
They all stopped and looked over the couch to see Tony standing over them.
Natasha unwrapped her arms and legs from Steve's body and he stood up.
"Tony" Steve said.
"Oh come on, you don't have to go into serious Captain mode on my account. You were just laughing it up and having fun with Romanoff and Barnes squared over here" Tony said looking between the four of them, "I don't think I've ever even heard Romanoff laugh"
Natasha stood up and cleared her throat, "Tony"
"I see you are all recovered. Glad to hear it" Tony said as Bucky and Ellie stood up.
"Tony leave them alone" A woman said as she walked over.
"Hey Pepper" Natasha said as she walked over and hugged her.
"I am so glad you are alright. Tony told me what happened and you gave me such a scare" Pepper told her as she stood back looking her over.
"He can't get rid of me yet" Natasha said looking at Steve, "Thanks to Rogers"
"Steve?" Pepper asked interested.
"Steve saved my life, nearly killed himself in the process. So now I am part super soldier too" Natasha told her.
Pepper walked over to him and gave him a hug, "Thank you for saving my friend"
"She means a lot to me. I couldn't lose her either" Steve told her glancing at Natasha over Pepper's shoulder.
"So Pep, meet Agent Ellie and Manchurian Candidate" Tony said gesturing to them.
Ellie pulled her shirt down and walked over, "Ms. Potts it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Ellie Barnes"
Pepper looked between Steve and Ellie, "Oh yeah, definitely can see the family resemblance. So you are married to Bucky?"
Ellie nodded as she took Bucky's hand, "Yes ma'am. Going on almost 74 years now"
Pepper shook her head, "It is so hard to believe how things happened this way. First Steve waking up in the ice then finding out his best friend was somehow still alive and looked the same age after 70 years… now his sister too?"
Ellie shrugged, "God has a funny way of making things work out"
Wanda walked in the room, "I heard your voices did you find out… oh hello Tony"
"Wanda too!?" Tony said looking at Steve, "Do you have Sam here?"
"Yes" Steve said with a sigh, "T'Challa is providing us this place as home base. I want to be here with Ellie and Bucky"
"You are all free to come back to the compound. I am serious" Tony told them.
"We appreciate the offer but I don't think I can fly" Ellie told him as she held out her hand and made it glow, "I might short out the planes communication systems"
Tony looked at her hand and walked over, "You have powers?"
Ellie nodded, "Side effect from your father's work. They are very similar to Wanda's but mine are electricity fueled I guess you could say. The original name of the project was not the Phoenix project. It became the Phoenix project because of me"
Ellie stood back and closed her eyes letting the natural feeling of the currents through her body flow through her arms.
"Holy shit" Bucky said as he walked over to her and she opened her eyes, "Baby is this 100%?"
"No, like 60% why?" Ellie asked noticing he was slightly shorter.
"El… your hair is glowing, your legs are glowing and you are off the ground about half a foot" Steve told her as she came back down to the ground and stopped her powers.
"Amazing" Tony said, "Your entire body was glowing outside of your torso"
Ellie looked at Bucky, "My entire body?"
"Arms, legs, hair… your eyes were doing the sparkling thing. Just his shield around your middle was the only thing not glowing. It was about the size of a plate" Bucky told her as he put his arm around her.
"He's happy"
They looked at Wanda.
"You woke him up but he is feeling really happy that he was able to do that" Wanda said with a laugh.
"Who is he?" Tony asked confused.
Ellie turned to the side and ran her hand over her belly, "Well we are just saying he but we don't officially know yet"
"You're pregnant?" Pepper asked surprised.
Ellie nodded, "12 weeks along"
"What the fuck…two 100-year olds can have a baby?" Tony asked.
"I am only really 30, and Bucky is only really 34 but the baby was actually conceived in the 1987" Ellie told him.
"Wait… what?" Tony asked confused.
"Your Dad and Peggy sent me on a mission to try to infiltrate the Red Room. Bucky was one of their trainers" Ellie told him.
"But he put you back under shortly after that mission" Tony said.
"Because Hydra took Bucky, I was already having memory issues. I thought I dreamt the whole thing up. Your Dad put me back under, at my orders, pregnant" Ellie told him, "Of course I was so early at that time, we wouldn't have known anyways"
T'Challa walked into the living quarters, "Hello everyone"
"You do know that all this" Tony said pointing towards everyone, "Is all breaking the accords right?"
a/n3: Thank you for reading. I'd also like to send out a special shoutout to the only reviewer from the last chapter, Crystal-Wolf-Guardain-967 who has reviewed each of the last 8 chapters. I appreciate it so much! Hope you loved this one just as much!
Here is your sneak peek for next week (might be two weeks, sorry if it is. Next week is a crazy busy weekend for me):
"I don't like it" Steve said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Steve, you can't protect me forever. I can do it myself now. Hydra is a small threat and so are others but… I made a lot of enemies on my own back then too. Not that many of them are still alive but still" Ellie told him.
