"Here is to many wonderful years of marriage, and many more years to come!" Bucky cheers; holding his glass up for a toast.

You smile, clinking your glass with his, "To many more years to come. I'm love you Mr. Barnes."

"I love you more Mrs. Barnes."

You both laugh at how goofy and cheesy you sound in the moment, but you can't help it. Today is a happy day, and so no one can blame you if you can't stop smiling like a fool… a fool in love. Seriously, whoever said that the honeymoon phase is short lived must have been doing something wrong. Because even after four years of dating and three years of marriage, it still feel like the beginning.

"Oh, did I tell you, I ran into Wanda the other day?" you mention, cutting into your food.

"No, how is she? It feels like forever since I last got to see her and Viz ever since they married and decided to retire. We need to head out to see them."

"Actually, Wanda invited us to their place next weekend. She said she was getting ready to send out invitations to everyone for a get together, plus a special announcement."

This catches Bucky's interest even more, "What do you know? Come on, don't leave me in suspense!"

You laugh at the way he practically bounces in his chair, "Well, she let slip, that… she's pregnant."

"Wow! But wait… is Vision able to have kids? He's still an android even if he can change his appearance… right?"

"I had to ask her the same thing. Wanda laughed at me, saying that she was expecting that to be the main question for everyone to ask then explained that they used a sperm donor."

Bucky sits there a moment, before a smile breaks out, "Wow, good for them. I'm really happy for them."

Nodding, you look down at your plate, to hide your face, "Yeah, me too…"

Even though Bucky can't see the expression on your face, hearing your tone, he knows something is wrong. "Doll, what is it? What's the matter?"

"Nothing," you say with a shake of your head.

"Oh no, I know you better than that Doll. Come on; tell me what's on your mind."

You sigh, looking up at him with a slight frown, "It's just… Today marks three years we've been married, and well, Wanda and Viz have only been married less than a year but they are already expanding their family. I've just been thinking…"

"You've been thinking when we might start having kids?"

"Yeah. I know we said when we first got married to wait a few years and I didn't think that I'd already be wanting kids so soon into the marriage…"

"I've been thinking about it too Doll."

Bucky's sentence shocks you, and you just stare at him wide eyed, "W-what?"

"Doll, I've been thinking about it for awhile now, and just didn't know when to bring it up with you because I didn't know if you were ready yet. But, My Darling, I'm ready to start trying for a baby that is if you are."

A wide smile breaks out on your face; you dash around the kitchen table and throw yourself at him. Bucky is just barely able catch you and grab the table to keep the chair from falling over.

"Seriously?! You, you really want to do this? You want to start our family?" you squeal excitedly,

"Yes. Doll, let's try for a baby!"

"We're going to try for a baby!"

That was six months ago, and it is no surprise that Bucky's super swimmers took no time in getting you pregnant. You are just at four and half months along and are starting to think about fixing up a nursery. You had recruited Steve and Sam to help with cleaning out the spare room, paint and put together the furniture. Promising them food as payment.

"Okay boys! Cleaning time, it's out with the old and in with the new!"

"Alright, if you say so, but I thought you might want him to stick around." Sam says, moving over to Bucky.

You and Steve break out in laughter as Sam grabs Bucky and starts dragging him out of the room.

"Sam! Sam, bring my back my husband!" you call out, still laughing

"What?" he asks, trying to look innocent, "you said out with the old. I just assumed up meant the 100 year old man."

"What the hell? Steve's over a 100 too, why just me?!" Bucky pouts.

Steve pats Bucky on the shoulder, "You are older than me."

"One year! I'm one year older! And technically I think you are now considered older than me, because you have been out of ice longer than me!"

"But you were still born before me, thus making YOU the older one."

"You've aged more since being thawed, starting to look more your age there old man."

Sam is holding on to the wall trying to keep himself upright as he laughs at Bucky and Steve arguing over who is older.

"Alright children, stop. It is not a competition over who is older; you both are older than dirt. Keep it up and I'll let Sam throw you out and keep him as my new husband."

Bucky looks at you insulted, "You wouldn't dare! I might be old, but my swimmers could still move fast enough to knock you up."

"Yeah, but clearly, I'm the new shiny version. Everyone always upgrades eventually." Sam taunts with a smile.

Bucky narrows his eyes at Sam, and before he can try to attack the little shit, Steve grabs Bucky in a head lock,

"Alright, stop. I'm here to decorate a nursery, not rebuild a house because you guys can't stop teasing one another. Remember the remote incident?"

Sam and Bucky groan while you laugh, remembering the story of how Bucky and Sam got into an actual fight for the remote control.

"Alright boys, let's stop now. Can we please just get to work on the nursery? I'd like to have it done before I give birth."

Sam and Bucky reluctantly call a truce and you all get to work on the room, not that Bucky let's you actually do much. And once they were ready to paint, Bucky sends you out of the house so you aren't around all of the fumes. And by the time you get back home, they have the majority of the room completed with the exception of minor details that you will work on here and there.

Bucky walks up behind you, admiring the room giving you a back hug and his hands resting on your slightly protruding belly, "It looks good, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, when you and Sam stop bickering like children and work together." You tease, nudging him.

"Yeah, yeah. It got done eventually didn't it?"

"Yeah," you sigh, leaning back into him, "and just think, in 5 months time, our child will be here and sleeping in this room that their Daddy and Uncles fixed up just for them."

Bucky's lips press to the side of your head, "I can't wait."

"AHHH! I can't wait anymore! Get this child out of my body! Their time is up; I'm serving an eviction notice! Get out!" You scream, clutching the side of the hospital bed so hard your knuckles have turned white.

"Breath Doll, remember the breathing exercises…" Bucky soothingly says, rubbing your back trying to calm you down.

"Oh FUCK YOU BARNES! You breathe if it's so fucking easy! And if you tell me to breathe one more time, you are going to be admitted for having your dick ripped off."

Bucky gulps, looking at one of the nurses for help who just laughs at him,

"I'd listen to her if I was you. It might be the pain talking, but the pain also gives them incredible strength."

"Can't you give her something to help with the pain?" he begs, both in fear for himself and worry for you.

"YES! Drugs, give me the drugs, I never agreed to a natural birth, give me the drugs!"

The nurse pats you on the leg, "I'm sorry, it's too late for the drugs, you are too far along. Once the doctor gets in here, she is going to have you start pushing. Okay?"

You lay back, tears in your eyes, both in pain but also relief. Soon, it's not going to be much longer and your little boy will be here with you. You will finally be able to hold him in your arms, not just holding your stomach and imagine holding him.

The doctor comes in and it seems like no time at all passes from the first moment she tells you to push to hearing your babies cry echo in the room.

You and Bucky both are crying as the nurse lays the still crying baby on your chest, "Oh God, Bucky he is here, he is finally here. Hello little man, we've been waiting for you."

"Doll, he's perfect. All 10 fingers and toes, he had your nose too. Thank you, thank you for this."

He kisses your head and you have to pass your baby back over to the nurse to be cleaned up and checked over. Exhaustion hits you hard, the adrenaline rushing out as fast as it came and you are no longer able to keep your eyes open.

Rubbing your wet hair, Bucky whispers how much he loves you and how proud he is of you, and he voice lulls you to sleep.

Bucky sits in a chair by your bed, watching you sleep once you are wheeled into a normal room when a nurse rolls your new born son in,

"Mr. Barnes? Here is your baby boy, completely healthy at a whopping 7lbs. Have you and your wife picked out a name yet?"

Carefully picking his son up, Bucky smiles down at the little boy who is looking up at his dad in wonder, "Yeah, Alexander James Barnes. Alexander for her brother, and James for me. Hello my boy, Daddy is so happy to finally be able to hold you, I love you so much already and I've just met you. I promise to always love and protect you no matter what you do in your life." He gently coos at the baby,

Unknown to Bucky, as he continues to talk to Alexander, you wake up and just watch Bucky with your son. When Bucky goes quiet once Alexander falls to sleep in his father's safe arms, you speak up,

"He is here, and now begins a new chapter in our lives. You ready?"

Bucky flashes you his million watt smile, "More than you can possible imagine Doll."
