We are woken the next morning by the sound of loud, boisterous laughter.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
I heard Bucky groan, before feeling him tighten his hold on me. "Nat's fam is here?" He asked me, in a quiet, groggy voice.
I frowned, before nodding in response, "Yes, though they said they'd be staying at a hotel… so they must be dropping in for an early visit…" I whispered, wiggling closer to him, before looking up at him.
"Do you think I'm imposing by being here? I don't have to be at my parents' house until Thursday afternoon, maybe late afternoon…" he murmured.
"You know as well as I do that you're not imposing. My brother and Nat love you like you are family. You basically are now either way…" I replied, smiling widely at him.
He smiled, before kissing my forehead. "I am, aren't I?" He whispered.
I nodded with a smile, before slowly stretching my legs and arms out, and letting out a tired yawn.
"Still tired, Bunny?" He asked with a smile.
I scoff in response, "Yes. I hear exhaustion is an ever-present condition during pregnancy… it's not even the third month yet and I want it to be over already…" I muttered, pouting.
"It'll get better." He promised.
I looked at him, before sighing and slowly sitting up. "Oh? Have you ever been pregnant?" I asked him, in a sarcastic tone.
He looked at me amused. "No, but I have read a few books on pregnancy since last week so, yes, I may not have experience with this but I do have knowledge to some extent…" He said, shrugging as he laid back on his elbows, before looking over at me with a smug smile.
I scoffed, "Was that book written by a man?" I asked, with a raised brow.
"Hm. I think Dr. Franco Harris is a man, yes." He replied, dryly.
"Once again. No ovaries, no—?" I asked, trailing off.
He sighed, shaking his head at me,
"No opinion. Bunny, you gotta let that go. That was one time." He said tiredly.
"Yes, because telling Sam and Steve that it's not hard to carry a baby for nine months, and then catapult it out into the world is okay, right? Most— no— every fucking woman in that room was offended! Even Yelena! And she doesn't even want kids!" I growled at him as I slid off the bed.
"Again, we were fucking around, Bunny. Even your brother was there joking with us … I'm sorry." He muttered apologetically.
I scoffed, ignoring him and made my way towards my bag, kneeling down next to it.
I pulled out my cream colored, thick, cable knit sweater, and a dark washed pair of jeggings. I ripped off the sweater I was wearing along with my tank top, and shimmed out of my jeans.
I ignored the eyes I felt boring into my back as I bent down to pick up a fresh white tank top, pulling it on before grabbing my jeggings and sweater.
"Did you have to do that in front of me? Now, I have a growing problem over here…" I heard him grumble.
"Well, think of something gross, you perverted man. We gotta get going." I mumbled, as I slid on my jeggings and sweater.
He sighed before snatching the sweater I had been wearing off the ground, before pulling it over his head. It fit him tighter than I remember, and the sight instantly had my mouth watering.
"Somethin' wrong, Bunny bun?" He asked amusedly, as he adjusted himself.
I swallowed thickly, before turning away and bending down to shove on my boots again.
His responding groan caused me to snort before straightening up. "Dear Lord, she's going to be the death of me…" I heard him murmur behind me.
"So, what are the plans for today?" He asked me, after clearing his throat.
"I— I have no idea. But it looks like Nat's family has arrived, so that should be fun." I told him with a snort as I opened the door and walked out.
"Ah …. A riot, I'm sure." He replied, before following me out.
I ignored him as I slowly made my way towards the dining slash living room, where I knew they'd be, and smiled when Bucky put his arm around my waist.
"Ah!!! There she is! There she is. Arianna, dear, you are absolutely glowing!" Melina exclaimed as she rushed over to me and pulled me into a tight hug, causing me to gasp, before hugging her back.
A moment later she let me get, her eyes looking at me curiously, as her hand lightly turned my face, before her eyes flickered down to my stomach.
"Вы беременны." She said, giving me a watery smile. (You're pregnant.)
I nodded, giving her a timid smile in response.
"Клинт знает?" She asked, concerned. (Clint knows?)
I sighed, "Он делает. Только что сказал ему вчера вечером." I replied, smiling at her. (He does. Just told him last night.)
"Кто отец?" She asked, curiously. (Who's the father?)
"Баки." I replied, smiling widely at her shocked, yet happy expression. (Bucky)
"Ha ha! Pay up bitches! I was right! I was fucking right!" Yelena called laughing as everyone grumbled and pulled out their money and extended her hand to the middle of the table.
I turned to look at her, frowning as Melina turned to look at Bucky, a glint shining in her eyes.
"Проклятая девочка такая же, как ее мать." Alexei muttered, handing Yelena sixty dollars after Nat and Clint handed her the same amount. (Damn girl is just like her mother.)
"I heard that." Melina said, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Sorry, Красотка. But you know it's true." He answered with a sweet smile. (Gorgeous)
"Well, they had to get their intelligence from somewhere, моя любовь." She quipped. (My love)
Yelena and Nat rolled their eyes at them before turning to look at me, both with their eyebrows raised at me.
"So, you knocked her up, Barnes. What are you going to do about this situation?" Yelena asked, causing us to turn to look towards her, stunned yet amused.
