Chapter 31 : Mary and Bucky
Darcy was exhausted today had been crazy and emotional. Edith was not being helpful she was extremely grouchy probably from the excitement, And was not calming to anything Darcy had tried. Bucky was dead to the world on the couch, Steve next next to him dozing on and off. Clinking from the kitchen was the only sound in the quite apartment , Mary was making a bottle for the baby. Darcy had started to gently bounce around the living room like a demented Easter bunny. When Mary came in with a pink penguin shaped bottle. However Edith refused to take it she kept turning her head from the bottle. Mary took the baby from her and took over the bouncing. Sighing Darcy dropped onto the couch across Steve and Bucky's laps. Edith calmed under Mary's care, little traitor Darcy thought morosely. Watching her twin feed the baby Darcy looked up at a snoozing Steve.
" Hey Mary, did you tell Steve that were twins?" she asked fiddling with Steve's dangling dog tags.
" No, he asked? we do look almost exactly alike Darce except for eye color and height." True Darcy thought Mary was five foot compared to her five' three and her eyes were gray.
" He told Ma he'd take care of the twins and I know he wasn't talking about my rack." Mary laughed softly she shared Darcy's ample gift of boobs. She pulled the empty bottle from Edith's mouth.
" It's not like us being twins is a secret Darcy, why are you worried?" Darcy made a face
" He's already really over protective of you Mary, he flipped over your eye . He constantly pats your head". Darcy grumbled she knew she sounded like a brat.
" Your jealous !" Mary said with a large smile
" Shut Up!" Darcy grumbled okay maybe a little, Mary looked pleased as punch. As she took Edith to her little bassinet.
" Don't look so smug." She grouched and Mary gave her Cheshire cat grin.
" Honestly, go to sleep Darcy your getting green eyed monster syndrome the more you get tired." Darcy stuck out her tongue then sat up and slowly shook Steve awake. He looked at her groggily and smiled as she towed him towards the bedroom. Bucky fell side ways and stretched out on the couch.
Mary Lewis was a slight insomniac her health as a child was crap. So even as an adult she was on a ton of medication, It was now two thirty in the morning she was perched on the couch next to Bucky's bare feet. Edith was in her bassinet on the coffee table . She was having a glass of milk and the Friday a.m part of her pill box. She had just set down her glass when Edith mewled . She lifted the baby out of her bassinet laying her across her shoulder gently patting her back. The baby soon began to doze off again when she heard movement.
" Can I hold her Kukla?" Bucky's deep voice made her jump, he was holding out his arms for Edith. Blinking she put the baby in his strong arms, she watched as he patted the baby's back so softly like she was made of spun sugar.
" What language is 'Kukla' from?" She asked playing with the ribbon hem of her nightgowns bed jacket.
" Russian." was all he said, and Mary had a feeling he didn't want her to pry, so she stayed quiet.
" Your on a lot of medication aren't you?" He asked quietly
" Yes, I have a wonky immune system." She didn't go into a lot of detail and bucky didn't seem to mind because he just hummed softly.
" In the winter you have to ware a lot of layers even one case of the chills and it could be dangerous." He spoke as though he had experience in taking care of the sick.
" Yes" she nodded looking over at Bucky
" Steve was a lot like you when he was kid." he ran his fingers over Edith's soft curls.
" Really? He doesn't seem like it." Steve seemed so healthy and well, not to mention friggin huge.
" Yeah skinny, plucky asthmatic punk got in scraps all the time." Mary chuckled
" He grew up well then." she said with mirth if only she was so lucky.
" Damned punk." Bucky murmured just as Mary's phone chirped, she pulled it out of her bed jacket pocket.
" Hello?" she answered , she knew with the bird chirping meant it was Beth
" Hey I knew you were up, I'm having baby withdrawals here" she said sounding hyper. Mary sighed what if she really had been asleep? Of course this was Beth that wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't answered. Beth would have called every other person in the house until someone answered.
" I'll bring her in the morning" Mary said seeing as it was two in the morning and she had no car. And there was no way in hell that she was walking to Beth's house in the middle of the night.
" Mary! I know Steve has a car service, just wake him up and have the baby brought home." Her sister whined, waking up Steve wasn't the problem, It was Darcy. Her twin made the Grinch look like a saint when she was woken up.
" Don't bother them Kukla will take the baby home." Bucky said surprising Mary
" Change of plans will be there in twenty." Beth squealed, Mary rolled her eyes and hung up
" Put on some warmer clothes, Kukla." she wondered what the hell he was calling her as she took the baby from him.
" It's September, I'll be fine with a light hoodie." but he ignored her and just raised an eyebrow. she sighed and turned to go back to her room
" Yeesh, I'm going." and she scuddled off with the baby, then put her in a cute duck covered long sleeve onsie and then strapped her into her car seat. Then packed all of her things into her shiny pink vinyl diaper bag the size of an extra large gym bag. Then changed into a pair of soft navy blue yoga pants, and a light long sleeve light blue t-shirt covered in little cartoon rainbow colored sheep. Topped it with a soft light blue cardigan with sheep buttons and patch pockets. Going to the door she called for bucky, he came into the room eyebrow raised she'd come to except it. He never really talked much unless he had questions, she was still getting use to that she came from a family of chatty Kathy's.
" I need help" he eyed the bags as he picked them up
" Baby's need all this crap?" He asked as he he hauled up the momaroo
" She's a baby of course she dose." Mary said picking up her purse and Edith in her little car seat, shrugging he followed her out of the room.
" Did you call the car service?" She asked as she opened the apartment door for him much to his distaste. He made a show of shouldering all of Edith's stuff into one arm and hand the one she was sure he injured in war, he was wearing a soft black leather glove over it. Then pushed her out the door with his free arm and closed and locked the door with one hand.
" No, don't need to I have a car." He shook his keys at her, they headed to the elevator and down to the lobby and out to his car. Which turned out to be a 911 turbo she wondered ware she was going to put Edith. He tossed Edith's diaper bags and mamaroo and bassinet into the minuscule trunk and helped her strap Edith into the car. Once they were all strapped and squished in he started to speed down the street.
" Go slow, if we die, I will kill you in heaven." she snapped at him and he just snorted at her and ruffled he curls then stroked Edith's downy ones.
" Will be fine Kukla." He said as she rolled her eyes and gave him directions to Bethy's house. Once they arrived she fought to unstrap Edith and bucky went to collect her luggage he opened the car door for them and helped her out of the car with one hand. They headed up to the front door and she let him knock not even a minute later the door was thrown open by a crazy looking Beth. Her hair was standing on end and she was still in her white velour pant suite with bride stitched on the back.
" Thank God! Gimme my baby." she snatched Edith's car seat from Mary, and scampered away like a squirrel with a much beloved nut. Sam who looked exhausted and scruffy came to the door.
" Thank you Mary, Ste.." he faltered when he noticed Bucky who pushed passed him to put Edith's luggage on the bench by the door. " Buck thank you." He said as bucky stepped out of the house Sam reached out and grabbed Mary's arm and began to tug her into the house. Bucky warped an arm around her waist and tugged her into his side and all but picked her up.
" I'll take her home." he called carrying her back to the turbo, she waved to Sam who looked super worried. bucky set her down and she climbed into his fancy sports car and made sure to buckle her seat belt as he shut the door for her. she waited until he climbed into the car and grudgingly buckled up at the look she gave him.
" Why was Sam being so weird?" She asked Bucky shrugged with a sigh hitting the gas.
" His life is falling apart of course he's being off. Want to eat? I'm starving." She blinked and looked at her silver watch that looked like it was made from teaspoon handles.
" It's almost three o'clock , whats open?" She asked she wasn't from here so she didn't know much about D.C.
" Lots were going to brooklyn." He said as he hit the gas again going from a mild fifty to over a hundred, she squealed and put her feet in there Winnie the Pooh vans on the edge of her seat to brace her self.
" Were in D.C. New York is three hours away." she said as bucky still doing a hundred smiled at her and put a hand on her thigh pushing down her feet.
" Were in a sports car Kukla, will get there in less than an hour." She looked over at Bucky still gripping the edge of her seat.
" Fine but I choose what we eat." she snapped closing her eyes tight wondering why no cops had stopped them yet.
"Of course I'm a gentleman." She snorted but he was right he treated her like a knight, a sullen, quiet, creepy one but still a knight.
