'Where's Mia? Is she ok? I heard she had a breakdown this morning, what happened?' Scott asks Steve. He is holding some white roses and your favourite Belgian chocolates.
'She's in her room, she's fine. Just a little mixture of hormones and trauma. She went to speak to Sharon, and it was too much for her. I didn't see anything, but I heard it and it broke my heart for her. Bucky and Nat are with her now, but I think she wants her brother.' Steve motions to upstairs.
'Ok I'll go see her. Poor kid, I hate to see her upset. She's been through a lot and she doesn't deserve it at all. Thanks Cap.' He nods at Steve and walks towards the bedrooms. When he gets there, he knocks gently on the door. 'Knock knock, big brother calling.' The door opens slowly, and he sees you sat up in bed with Nat sat next to you. 'Hey Mia, how you feeling? I brought your favourite flowers and chocolates.' He hands them to Bucky and moves closer to sit on the armchair next to you, then holds your hand. I heard you didn't have a good morning, so I wanted to come make it better.'
'Hey Scott, I'm ok. Just a little tired. I'd feel better if you brought wine too.' You giggle at the looks you get from everybody. 'I'm kidding guys, it's called a joke.' You put your hand on your stomach and smile. 'I've got the best reason not to drink, our little girls.' You look up at Bucky as he hands you a drink of water and replaces your hand on your stomach with his. 'Thanks James. So, what have you been doing this morning? Let me live vicariously through you seeing as I am now on complete bedrest except for doctors' appointments.' You say shooting a look at Bucky.
Scott laughs at your frustration and takes a deep breath. 'So, me and Hope have set a date and I think you're gonna love it. It's a special date and I know you're extra emotional lately so please don't cry but its August 24th next year.' You gasp and fight back tears as soon as Scott tells you that date.
'Oh Scott! That's so sweet. August 24th was our grandmother's birthday. I had the strongest bond with her before she died, and I've missed her so bad since.' You explain to Bucky and Nat. 'That's such a good date and I'm sure Nana would be proud of you. Come here, you doofus. Hug your little sister!' You pull Scott into a hug and whisper in his ear 'thank you' before you pull away and smile at him happily.
'I thought that would make you happy Mia. I know things have been tough for you lately and both me and Hope wanted to do something that would cheer you up. That's as far as we have got but we're looking forward to planning our weddings together.' Scott smiles and squeezes your hand.
'Awh that's so nice of you, thank you Scott. And thank Hope for me too. Honestly Scotty I'm so happy you've found her. She makes you better. Before Hope, you were a con man that was losing grip on his life, sorry bro. Now you're an Avenger, you save the world on a regular basis and you have done a complete 180. You're kinder, more compassionate and you and Maggie have been coparenting Cassie so much better. I see her a lot more now so that's always a good thing. At the risk of sounding super cheesy, getting with Hope has given you hope. Yes, I'm cringing at myself for saying that!' You all laugh happily.
'Haha yeah I guess you're right. She has been such a great influence in my life. Why does the youngest have to be the smartest as well?' His phone rings so he apologises and answers. 'Hey, speak of the devil, were your ears burning? Yeah? Ok. Sure. Ok I'll be there soon. Ok, I love you. Bye.' He puts the phone down to intrigued looks. 'Sorry, Maggie called Hope, she's gotta run out for work and she can't take Cassie with her, so she's dropped her off at our place. I've gotta go but it was great to see you. Just let me know when you feel up to me bringing Cass over here to see you, she's been asking after you. I've told her you've been not feeling too good lately so aren't in the mood for guests. Didn't mention your shoulder.' He stands up and hugs you again. 'I'll talk to you soon, love you little sis!' He smiles at you all and walks out.
Bucky walks over to the chair Scott just left and sits down. 'That was good to see him. I gotta say I do miss Cassie. I feel like she's part of my family now we're engaged.' You smile at him and hold your hand out for him to hold it, he grabs it and strokes your thumb with his.
'That's because she is a part of your family. As far as she's concerned, you're her Uncle Bucky. She doesn't care what happened before, she loves you like she loves me.' You lean forward to get up, which causes Nat to rush to grab you. 'Calm down, I gotta pee. I currently have two babies on my bladder and they're getting bigger by the day, so I have to pee a lot more.' Nat chuckles and helps you up. You walk to the bathroom and fall to the floor before you get there. 'Dammit! Who put that chair there?' You laugh as Bucky and Nat rush to you to help you get up. 'I'm fine guys, just tripped. Now let me go pee in peace.'
After you're done you go back to the bedroom and start pulling on clothes. 'What do you think you're doing Amelia?' Nat asks you sternly. 'You are supposed to be on bed rest.'
'I'm hungry. There's no food here except those chocolates Scott bought me, and I want a sandwich. The food is kept in the kitchen, duh.' You carry on getting dressed but Bucky takes hold of your hands and leads you back to bed. 'No, I'm pregnant and hormonal not terminal. Let me go to the kitchen.'
'Sit down doll, I'll go make you a sandwich. You have to be careful. What type of sandwich do you want?' You sigh and tell him what you want. 'Ok I'll be back in a little bit. Nat, can you put on some crappy daytime TV please? Thanks. I won't be long, I love you.' He says before kissing you gently and going down to the kitchen.
'Nat, I'm not sick, I just have some bad days. I can't stay in this room for the next 18 weeks. Please can you try and convince Bruce to say I'm ok?' You sigh in frustration and throw yourself back to lie down.
