The trip to the store was almost uneventful. Only almost because Bucky, as most children, wanted everything he saw, and Tony couldn't keep himself close. This was a great way to deter Sam on any ideas of having kids.

"If you don't stay close I'm putting you in the cart," Sam warned them both.

Bucly looked to the cart, "That sounds kinda fun. Can I get in the cart?" he smiled.

Sam rolled his eyes, "Sure, climb in," it would save him time for one of them at least.

He had to smile at how entertained Bucky was being pushed about in the cart. Sam ended up having to hold Tony's hand to keep him close.

"I need some more items," the genius pulled at his hand, trying to guide him to another aisle.

"Yes, you do, but I have to get some stuff after this, then we can get you some items for your current project," he dragged him along.

The grocery shopping was tedious, and Sam had forgotten about the fact that he got perishables and still needed to go to another place, but that was fine. it wasn't too far and he had about 90 minutes before his food got into the danger zone. The place was about 20 minutes away, or so his gps told him, regardless he should be fine.

"How are you doing back there, Tony?" he called, glancing to the backseat as the man squirmed about some.

"I'm..." he sighed, "Fine."

"He's wet," Bucky commented.

"I am not!"

Sam just rolled his eyes and continued on driving. He hoped Tony at least changed himself out of his morning diaper and wasn't still in that.

"So this is where they get your stuff?" Sam looked about the store. It looked like Babies R Us for adults.

"This is where Mama gets them," he marked, arms crossed, looking down.

"You don't have to be so embarrassed, Tony. I am the last person to judge," Sam shook his head and began pushing the cart through, thinking on why he ended up doing diaper shopping but hey, he was getting paid.

The man looked about the various designs and styles, "Is there any particular style you want?" he turned to Tony, who was sniffling, "What's wrong?" Sam looked around the area and grabbed the front of Tony's pants.

"I wish you would just say you were wet, it is my job to deal with it," Sam set the items along the changing table as Tony dropped his pants and climbed up, "Alright, ready?" he looked to the man who just averted his eyes.

Sam had a younger sister so he had plenty of experience changing diapers, between her and his neice. He made quick work of changing his ward's diaper and put plenty of rash ointment on. Tony was merely a little red but still, better safe than sorry.

"Alright, all fresh." he helped him off the table, "I'm surprised you didn't leak," the nappy was soaked.

Tony muttered a thank you and hurried away.

"Alright Bucky," Sam said as he pulled into the park, "I think some rewards are in order for such great behavior."

"So we're going swimming?" he looked to the man hopefully.

"Yes we are going swimming. Get your swimwear and I'm going to put this stuff away and pack a bag for Tony," He was sure the mother had swim diapers for Tony somewhere.

"I don't think I have swimwear, but I'll look," he went back to his room to search.

As the babysitter set things up in an orderly manner he got a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sam, it's Rhodes, I was just checking on the kids."

The retiree looked to the clock, "You've only been gone a couple hours, what do you think they could've gotten into in that short amount of time?"

"You'd be surprised," he shook his head.

"Well I guess you're right. Tony is a bit adverse to the idea of me changing him. And eating apparently."

"Yeah he's like that. Took forever before he let Steve help," he rolled his eyes, "You know how some people can be about their problems."

"Yeah, I've seen it plenty of times," he nodded, "I'm taking the kids swimming, do they have swimwear?"

"Tony's is in a corner in his closet. He has about 10 different swim trunks and they're on top of a box of swim nappies. Just give Bucky a pair of his."

"I knew you were the type of mother I thought," he teased, making his way to Tony's room, "But seriously what's behind the whole 'mama' deal?"

Rhodes rolled his eyes and chuckled at the joke then shrugged, "He's been calling me that since...Heck it's been so long. About five years now. Doesn't seem like it's been that long. Thats for sure." he smiled some.

"Well we're all going to have to sit down to drinks and you give me the full story, sounds like something entertaining, especially if you tell it while you're tipsy," he grabbed Tony a couple of swim diapers, not quite sure if he even changed him while they were swimming but incase. And grabbing a few pairs of trunks.

"Sounds fun, pending the time I get home tonight I might just take you up on that," he nodded. It had been a good long minute since he had a drink with people he didn't think would get him drunk to get out of trouble or just to see what he would say that way.
