Sure, we bought a nice looking farmhouse that's actually near Clint's, but what about kids? Ever since I was captured by Hydra, I've wondered if they...if they sterilized me as Nat states that the Soviets did to her. What if I'm never able to have a child?/p

He cut his hair years ago, but I still can't get over how much he looks like the Bucky Barnes from the forties. However, he's not the Bucky from the forties, nor am I the Avery Evans from the forties. We are so different now. Everything has changed, yet the only thing that remains constant is our love for one another./p

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today..." My ears listen to what Thor says as my mind thinks of what's to come. What will Bucky and I do after we are married? Sure, we bought a nice looking farmhouse that's actually near Clint's, but what about kids? Ever since I was captured by Hydra, I've wondered if they...if they sterilized me as Nat states that the Soviets did to her. What if I'm never able to have a child?/p

But, I feel that as long as Bucky and I are together, everything will be alright./p
