So I forgot when Mother's Day is, looked it up it's May 8th SO, let's say Sunny's birthday is the beginning of April (Whatever day you want it to be in that first week) meaning timeline wise we haven't gone past May 8th yet. (The mother's day stuff added around 1,300 words)
Getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow (like8am) so I'm freaking out O_O (It also sucks cause I can't even drink anything past midnight cause I'm doing the IV thing) but I wanted to get this up for the end of this chapter. ^_^
One morning, Skylar got up, changed Sunny's diaper and put her into her Captain America onesie before changing her own clothes from her t-shirt and shorts to a different t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She picked up Sunny out of her crib.
"Well, let's get you some breakfast." She said with a smile. "Huh? You hungry?" She opened her door to head into the kitchen but stopped when she saw Bucky and Steve already standing by the stove. Steve turned around and saw her, Bucky saw her then lightly hit Steve's arm.
"I told you we should've made it beforehand." Bucky said.
"What are you two doing?" Skylar asked as she got a bottle from the fridge. She put it in the bottle warmer before turning to the two.
"We were gunna make you breakfast." Steve said with a small frown. Skylar then noticed the mixed pancake batter in a bowl on the counter, an open package of bacon and a carton of eggs.
"Why?" she asked with a chuckle.
"It's mother's day." Steve said with a smile.
"Yeah, Sky, you get to celebrate that now." Bucky said. Skylar smiled at them.
"You guys didn't have to do this." She said.
"Of course we did. I mean you don't even get the day off today." Steve said. "It's the least we could do."
"You two are so sweet." Skylar said with a big smile. "C'mere." She went up to Bucky who leaned down with a grin. Skylar kissed his cheek before going up to Steve, who also leaned down, and kissing his.
"Alright so I'll take her." Bucky said taking Sunny gently. "And you go back to bed. We'll bring the food to you."
"You guys don't have to do that. Besides I wanna eat with you guys." Skylar said.
"Then we'll make enough for the three of us." Bucky said getting Sunny's bottle and feeding her.
"Now go get comfortable." Steve said with a smile.
"Well I wanna watch a movie with you two." Skylar said with a pout. The two chuckled.
"Then go sit on the couch." Steve said.
"Alright, gimmie my bunny." Skylar said turning to Bucky. He frowned and turned away.
"My bunny." He said trying to hide a smile. Steve snorted and covered his mouth. The two turned to him and burst out laughing. "Here ya go, Sky." Bucky gently passed Sunny over to her. "She's hungry." He said noticing that she was almost done with the bottle.
"Yeah." Skylar said with a smile as she looked down at Sunny. She grabbed a cloth for when she needed to burp Sunny and headed over to the couch. The two got back to work as Skylar turned on the TV. Every now and the Skylar would glance back at the two to see Bucky either flick flour at Steve or Steve poke Bucky then turn away as if he didn't. Skylar smiled and turned back to the TV.
…
"Alrighty." Steve came over with a tray and food put it down on Skylar's lap. "Your breakfast." He said with a smile. He sat down beside her and she kissed his cheek. Bucky sat on her other side and put the syrup down on the tray then leaned towards her. She chuckled and kissed his cheek. He smiled at her and settled in beside her.
"Did you make any for you guys?" Skylar asked with a smile as she picked up a fork.
"Well unless you're gunna eat eight pancakes." Steve said with a laugh.
"I totally could." Skylar said with a smirk. Steve chuckled. "I can't cut the pancakes with one hand though." Skylar said with a pout.
"I got you." Bucky said as he picked up the knife from the tray. He cut a few pieces before taking her fork and getting a piece. "Say ah." He said with a grin. Skylar tried to hold back a smile while Steve full out laughed.
"Ah." She opened her mouth, Sunny giggled and reached for the fork. "No not for you, sweetie." Skylar said with a laugh as she smiled down at her.
"She wants our delicious cooking." Steve said.
"Well, she's gunna have to wait a while, besides," Skylar said tickling Sunny's tummy. "You just ate, Bunny." Sunny giggled and held onto Skylar's finger.
"Want me to hold her so you can eat?" Bucky asked.
"No I got her. Jeez let me hold my own Bunny for once." She said with a laugh.
"Come on, Bucky, Bunny, both B's." he said.
"Skylar and Sunshine, both S'" Skylar said.
"Well with that logic, Steve and Sunflower." Steve said.
"You've never called her Sunflower." Skylar said turning to him.
"Sure I have." Steve said. "You're just never there when I do." He added with a shrug.
"Aw, but that's so cute why wouldn't you tell me that." Skylar whined. Steve shrugged.
"If we're going with the logic of what we call her I call her Bunny and Sunshine." Bucky said.
"You only call her that because I call her that." Skylar said giving him a playful glare.
"Let's let Sunny decide." Steve said before he leaned into her view. "Hey, there." Sunny giggled and reached for his face.
"Hey Sunshine." Bucky said as he leaned into her view from the other side. Sunny giggled louder and reached for his face. Bucky smirked at Steve who rolled his eyes.
"Who do you wanna go to Bunny?" Skylar asked. Sunny squeaked and reached up for Skylar's face. "I guess I won that one." She said with a grin.
"Come on, she's wearing a Captain America onesie." Steve whined. Skylar chuckled.
"Sunshine, I'm hurt." Bucky said with a pout. The baby gurgled happily. "In that case, say ah." Bucky said holding up the piece of pancake again.
"Ah-mm." Skylar opened her mouth and Bucky chuckled as he fed her. Steve shook his head with a smile. "You dork." Skylar said around her food. Bucky chuckled.
"Punk." he said.
"Hey, that's our thing." Steve said with a playful frown. Bucky chuckled again.
"Eat your pancakes, punk." He said to him.
"Jerk." Steve said as he took a piece.
"Like I said, you two are dorks." Skylar said with a smile.
"I thought he was the dork?" Steve asked with a frown.
"No, it was directed at both of you." She said picking up a piece of bacon and taking a bite. "Mmm." Steve took a bite from her piece. "Hey!" She whined. "My bacon."
"Sharing is caring, Sky. Gotta set a good example for Sunny." Steve said with a smile. Skylar stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh tsk, that's not very nice." He said as he shook his head. Skylar looked down at Sunny.
"Don't let anyone steal your bacon." She said to her.
"Unless they're your mommy's best friends." Bucky said before giving Skylar a smile.
"Who said you two were my best friends?" Skylar asked with a teasing smirk. Bucky put a hand on his chest as if he was hurt.
"You're our best girl." He said putting his head on her shoulder. She smiled down at him before holding out the bacon.
"Here."
"Thanks, doll." He said with a grin before taking it.
"Oh I see how it is." Steve said with a mock offended look. "You give Bucky bacon but not me?"
"You can have bacon too but you took from the piece I was eating." Skylar said with a laugh. Steve chuckled and held up Skylar's fork with a piece of pancake on it in front of her mouth.
"Say ah."
"What is it, feed Skylar day?" she asked as she rolled her eyes.
"No, it's Mother's Day which means you, the mother, get to relax." Steve said.
"I don't even get to feed myself?" Skylar asked with a laugh.
"Of course not, that's what we're here for." Bucky said.
"Can I just say you two are the best?" She asked looking between then.
"Only if you finish that sentence with us being your best friends." Bucky said.
"There's no doubt about that." Skylar said kissing each of their cheeks. They grinned and kissed hers back.
"Can't forget about our lil Sunshine." Bucky said before kissing the baby's little head. She giggled and reached for him. Steve tickled her tummy and she grabbed his finger. Skylar's face started to hurt with how big her smile was.
About a week later, Skylar entered her apartment one night after work and found the TV on but no Bucky or Steve.
"Buck?" she called softly. "Steve?" When she got no response she frowned. She dropped her bag on the couch and headed into her bedroom. The lights were out but Sunny's little nightlight by her crib let Skylar see the baby sleeping soundly, her little bunbun's ear in her hand. Skylar smiled down at her daughter before looking to the bed where she saw Steve sitting against the headboard, his legs hanging over the side of the bed and his head tilted slightly with his eyes closed. Skylar chuckled silently and walked over to him. "Steve." she said softly. His face twitched slightly and Skylar smiled. "Steve," She whispered. He made a soft 'mm' sound as he was starting to wake up. "Steve." She reached out slowly and brushed his hair away from his forehead. He moved his head slightly and moved into her hand as she moved her hand to his face. His eyes slowly started to open and focused on her slowly.
"Sky?" his voice came out in an almost whisper as he looked up at her; she was leaning over slightly her face about a foot away from his.
"Hey." She whispered with a smile. Steve slowly started to sit up and his hand found the side of her face making her blink. "Steve?" Just as his name left her lips he pressed his against them. A second later Steve pulled away with wide eyes as Skylar blinked at him. Her hand found her mouth as she stood up straight.
"I'm not dreaming…" Steve said in a rushed whisper. "Sky… I'm…I-…" Steve swallowed as he ran a hand threw his hair and looked away. "I-I'm sorry-" Skylar quickly put a hand over his mouth and pointed to Sunny's crib. Steve nodded and she took her hand away. "Right, sorry." He whispered. Skylar motioned for him to follow her out of the room as she left. Steve hesitated and sat on her bed a while longer before he finally stood and left the room. He closed the door behind him quietly and turned to Skylar who was in the kitchen making tea. "Sky?... I- I'm sorry."
"That's what every girl wants to hear after someone kisses her." She said giving him a smile. He blinked.
"You're not… angry?" he asked as he tilted his head.
"Why would I be angry?" Skylar asked. Steve swallowed as his heart fluttered. "You were just waking up. You must have been having a great dream." Steve rubbed the back of his neck as he smiled sheepishly. Skylar put two mugs down on the kitchen bar. "Your lips are softer than I thought they'd be." She said. "Black or green?" she asked holding up the boxes of tea. Steve blinked.
"Uh… black." He said as he came and sat down at the kitchen bar. "You think about the… softness of my lips often?"
"The thought pops up in my daydreams every now and then. Your lips are just so… you know." She said with a shrug as she put two tea bags in the mugs.
"My lips are what?" Steve asked with a slight chuckle.
"You know. They look really kissable." She said with another shrug as she turned away to get the hot water off the stove. "So where's Bucky?"
"He's upstairs, told him I'd watch Sunny so he could get some sleep. Anything… else happen in these daydreams of yours?"
"Tons of things. Sometimes there's Bunnies, sometimes I imagine little outfits for Sunny and her smile." Skylar said with a smile as she poured water into the two mugs. Steve chuckled. "Has he not been sleeping well?" Steve's smiled faded.
"Well, I'm sure you've noticed the bags under his eyes. He told me about his nightmares the other day… I wish I could do something to help him."
"Just be there for him. All he needs is for you to listen and for him to know he's safe here." She said. Steve nodded. "So was Sunny a handful? I mean I've never seen you asleep like that; didn't look very comfortable."
"Nah you're bed's really comfortable. She's wasn't any trouble I uh… I came back from a mission about an hour or two ago. Sunny was already asleep and I told Bucky I'd be okay staying so he could get some sleep but then…"
"Then you fell asleep." Skylar said with a smile. Steve nodded.
"Yeah." He said as Skylar slid his mug of tea to him. "Look Sky, I'm… I'm really sorry about just kissing you all of a sudden." He said as he looked into his mug.
"Steve, I already said it's okay." Skylar told him with a smile. "You just woke up and thought you were still dreaming." She said with a shrug. Steve's face flushed. "Now are you gunna watch TV with me or am I going to have to sit by myself?" she asked with a slight pout.
"Never." Steve said as he stood, giving her a smile. The two walked over to the couch and sat down. Steve took a sip of his tea before putting it down on a coaster on the coffee table in front of them. He had the urge to put his arm around her like he normally would but felt a bit awkward about it. She put her tea down next to his and leaned into him as she looked up at him.
"Am I going to have to kiss you so you'll start acting like normal again?" she asked. Steve's heart fluttered and he was grateful for the lack of light in the living area. He swallowed.
"If you think it'll help." He said after a moment. Skylar's face flush and she hesitated. She shifted up a bit and Steve's eyes locked onto her lips. When his eyes flicked to hers he found them to be locked onto his lips. He leaned forwards slightly as she did. They closed their eyes as their lips met briefly. Skylar pulled away but only by an inch or two.
"I think I made it worse." She whispered.
"Why do you think that?" Steve whispered back, his eyes still closed.
"Because now I want you to kiss me again." She said. Steve opened his eyes to look into hers before closing them again as he tilted his head and pressed his lips to hers once more.
Yep I'm ending it on a kinda cliff hanger since the Mother's Day part added so much. ^_^ Hope you liked it. Don't freak out too much, the pairing is still open/undecided. Don't hate me for ending the chapter there.
