'Happy Father's Day James!' You have woken him up with breakfast in bed and a ton of presents. 'From the girls and from me of course. I'm making us all a nice lunch later; babies want afternoon tea so we're having that.'
Bucky smiles at you. 'Thanks doll, but there's just one thing. I'm not a father yet.' You look at him confused and hold your stomach. 'I'm a daddy, but I won't be a father until our girls are born. That's how it worked in my family anyway.' He leans over to run his hands over your bump. 'I just don't feel like I've earned any title until I have them in my arms, I haven't done anything so far except put them inside you. You're doing all the work, taking care of them in your stomach. Making sure you're doing everything for them to be healthy and safe. You've been so sick with this pregnancy as well, even though its mostly gone now I still see you get really tired a lot easier than usual. You've more than earned the title of mother. I can't compare to that doll, so I don't think I can accept these gifts today. I'm sorry sweetheart.'
You look at him with tears in your eyes. 'Oh James, I never realised you felt that way. You ARE accepting these gifts though, you wanna know why? Because you have done the work. I've been carrying these girls, but you've been my rock with them. When I've been not feeling too good, you've been there taking care of me. When I've had a specific craving, you've gone to multiple stores to find the exact thing I wanted. You've been at my side through all the doctors' appointments, every mood swing, all the aches and pains. James, don't you understand? I couldn't do this without you. You've gone above and beyond to make sure that I'm healthy and happy and by extension the girls as well. You have earned the title of father and unless you wanna piss of a pregnant lady I suggest you take these gifts and like them.' You are in tears at this point, causing Bucky to move over to you and wrap his arms around you.
'Sweetheart I didn't think of it that way. I will gladly accept then, thank you so much.' You hand him a few bags with several things in each of them. Most of the gifts have 'World's best Father' printed on them, along with a card and some chocolates. 'I love it all sweetheart. Thank you. Our girls are so lucky to have such a thoughtful and generous mother.'
You smile and walk away. 'Eat your breakfast my love, it'll get cold. I'm going to go buy stuff for lunch, it's a nice day to take a walk down there. I think Peter is gonna come with me to help.' You bend over to kiss Buckys head and walk out the room. When you get to the living area, Peter is already waiting for you. 'Hey Pete, how you doing? Ready to go?'
'Yeah, ready when you are. Thanks for yesterday by the way. I haven't given Tony anything yet, but I will at lunch. We're doing an afternoon tea English style right? So, sandwiches, tea, little fancy cakes? That kinda thing?' You smile and nod at him. 'Cool, anything else we'll need at the store? I think I drank the last of the milk, so we'll need more of that. Are you baking the little cakes yourself? Because that would be so cool, and I'd definitely help you. I'm sorry if I'm talking a lot, I'm just nervous and I don't know how Tony is gonna react and also Aunt May thinks it's a great idea and can I invite her as well and…'
'Whoa Pete calm down. We can pick up some milk, yes, I am baking and you're more than welcome to help. Its gonna be fine, he's gonna love it. Yes, your Aunt May is welcomed to come, tell her the more the merrier. Just breathe, come on. Fresh air will help your nerves.' You grab your purse and put your shoes on to go out.
A little while later
'Ok Pete let's get these cakes baked and we might as well make the sandwiches while we wait for them. I found a recipe for macarons as well if you want those? Decide now because they take a little bit to do. I don't mind doing them don't worry.' You say, noticing the worried look on Peters face. 'You know what? Let's do it! It's my first time being the one to arrange Father's Day and not just give presents to Scott, I'm making them. Will definitely need your help though. Come on then! Lets do this! Hey, my love, how's your morning been?' You kiss Bucky as he walks into the kitchen.
'Hey doll, hey Pete. Yeah, it's been ok. Did some training with Steve and Tony then just got out the shower. When's lunch? I'm starving, really worked up an appetite in the gym.' He grabs you and pulls you closer to wrap his hand round your waist and kiss you gently. 'Would you like me to leave you two alone or do you need help?'
'Umm help would be nice please. You can start weighing out stuff. Here's the recipe I'm following. All the ingredients are in the bags, have fun!' You all laugh and get to work on lunch.
