Chapter 45 Like a tree
Darcy deemed Mary the keeper of Ian. She found a glass hamster ball kind of thing filled it with water and rainbow fish gravel and a tiny empty hermit grab shell. On top of the ball were air holes, Darcy added a heavy gold chain so Mary could ware Ian like what about Bob wore Gill in 'what about bob'.
" I'm not wearing him Darce!" Mary squeaked as Darcy dropped Ian into the bowl snapping the lid shut.
" I'm not taking care of him, Jane'll kill him, that leaves you as responsible pet parent." Darcy said pointedly tossing the chain over her protesting twins head.
" He's not a pet Darce, He's a man." Mary sputtered as Darcy shoved Ian at her.
" At the moment he's a helpless little octopus." Mary sighed taking Ian from her. They ended up in the lab with Jane while she tired to figure out how to turn Ian back to normal and it wasn't going well.
" Maybe Thor can fix him up?" Darcy asked as the goo Jane was working on turned a glittery purple instead of pink. Darcy rolled back slightly and took a sip of her sprite she hadn't yet told Jane about pickle. She at least needed to let Steve know first.
Just then the door opened, Thor sauntered in freshly showered and in clean clothes, Steve not far behind him ' Speak of the Devil' Darcy thought. Jane left the goo to climb Thor like a tree, Darcy shook her head and unfolded herself from her roller chair. Warping her arms around Steve's neck, pressing a kiss to his full lips.
" I've missed you" she whispered happily
" Me too Doll, missed you so much." he whispered stroking her curls, Steve and his hair pulling fetish she thought as he lightly tugged. she wondered how she was going to tell this wonderful man about pickle. She didn't have to worry Thor broke her thoughts and surprised the hell out of her with a loud
" Best friend Darcy your with child!" She froze as did Steve and couldn't help the slightly hysterical laughter bubbling up. She should have remembered Thor was a fertility God of course he'd know right away. Steve looked down at her blue eyes wide
" Its true isn't it Doll face?" He said he didn't look upset more in awe. She nodded not sure she trusted her voice to work right now as she tired to bat Jane away as the astrophysicist shook her. Thor looked between them and seemed to realize what happened
" Sorry bestie I did not know it twas to be a surprise." He was actually quite a smart cookie
" Its okay Thor." she patted his shoulder took Steve's hand and tired to pull him out of the lab. But Jane was making it difficult because she was latched onto her and not letting go, popping off questions faster than Darcy could comprehend.
" Beloved I think you should let lady Darcy speak or she can't answer any of your inquiries." Thor said Darcy looked over at Steve who's eyes looked glazed over , 'fuck was he that upset' She wondered. Just then Mary came into the lab again, Darcy hadn't realized she left. But she wasn't alone, Phil was right behind her. Mary went for Jane damn near closed lined her since Jane wasn't excepting it so Mary was actually able to push her back some. Enough for Darcy to escape grab Steve's arm and pull him out of the lab. Jane tired to follow them but Phil stood in the way, thank god for the man in black.
Steve couldn't have been more gobsmacked if Bucky had hit him in the head with his own shield. He had truly believed he would never be a father, in his time because he was such a shrimp and had so many medical problems. He thought no dame would ever love him, after everything with Peggy he thought he had a slim chance which was lost when he was. Now technically at 95 he was going to be a father and he couldn't be more thrilled and worried. His life wasn't the safest probably never would be, but Darcy was a fighter she had gumption and he knew they'er child was lucky to have her as a mother.
" Steve are you unhappy about this I wanted to tell you first, I found out yesterday. I forgot that Thor's a freaking fertility god." She whispered leaning in to his side
"Its alright Darcy, are you unhappy about this situation?" He asked quietly afraid to look at her.
" What?! No I'm happy Steve I really want this baby... but do you?" She asked softly grasping his hand.
" Oh Darcy, Yes I do I want this, it's just I never thought a family was in the cards for me." He whispered then hugged her hard " I want to be a family, will you marry me Darcy Bingly Lewis?" He asked voice cracking she could still say no. Darcy sobbed holding onto him tightly
"Of course you idiot, I will." she cried Steve's heart swelled with joy as he lifted her off her feet kissing her with all the love and passion he felt.
Mary followed Jane as she paced the lab ranting at the top of her lungs, Thor and Phil were settled into the swivel chairs thinking it was best to let nary handle it.
" And why didn't she tell me!" She shouted, Mary sighed
" She found out yesterday Steve needed to know first." Mary said pulling Jane to the side before she bumped into a filing cabinet
"Agent Coulson knew, Thor knew!" Jane growled almost tripping over her own shoe lace Mary sighed and knelt to tie it.
" I was with her when she took the test kit Jane, Phil knew because we were in his bathroom in his house on his day off. Thor knew because he's a freaking fertility god!" Mary whispered fiercely, Jane stopped and blinked.
" You can just tell?" she asked Thor who laughed brightly and loudly
" Yes my love I actually can." Jane blinked and all the anger in her deflated, she blew out a sigh and sat in Thor's lap
" Why agents house?" Jane asked running her fingers through Thor's long blonde hair
" Privacy Phil's house is our sanctuary." Mary said well it was actually Darcy's but she knew if she needed to crash Phil would let her.
"Okay I get it" She went back to climbing Thor like a tree. Mary chuckled picking up Ian off the desk and dropping the chain around her neck and following Phil out of the lab to find Darcy wrapped around Steve.
" I see a pattern here." Phil whispered as they edged pass.
" Yup" Mary agreed with a small smile, wishing she could do something like that with bucky, as her mind began to wander.
" what do you think, should we give it a try?' Phil asked Mary blinked looking at him wide eyed
" You want me to climb you like a tree?" Mary asked feeling her face flush as she looked him up and down he did look wonderful in that skin tight well cut suit.
"That wasn't what I was asking but if you'd like to try that it could be fun." He said with a small smile and quick as a snake strike scooped her up and began to swing her around. she couldn't help but laugh and spread her arms out wide.
" I was asking about the movies." He said he was holding her easily, while Phil was being careful he wasn't treating her like glass.
" Sure." she chirped, he had yet to set her onto her feet
" What the hell is going on?" A deep voice barked which she knew was Bucky's after a cigarette.
" Hi bucky, Clint" she chirped as she leaned back probably a little too far Phil's arms tightened pressing her tighter to him her cleavage and Ian closer to his face. but oh well she smiled happily she couldn't be in a better mood mostly to do with pickle and Phil.
" Can I ask why your holding my dame?" Bucky asked Mary sighed she had yet to agree to be his dame but he only treated her like it when he was jealous or protective. she knew he and Tasha still had thing even with Bruce in the picture. On top of that he'd been treating her like a Porcelain Doll, he hadn't even kissed her since before his confession. Phil was just being playful and bucky had to go all alpha male. Phil gave him a sharp smile
"I cant hug a friend Mr. Barnes?" he asked shocking mary by slowly setting her onto her feet then pressing a kiss to her cheek.
" I'll see you in thirty minutes Mary, Ian can stay home with daddy. " He drew her into a one armed hug dropping another kiss on her cheek as he left the room whistling. Bucky turned towards her eyebrow raised as he dragged her towards him arms snaking around her waist.
" Don't give me that look James" She said her mood dropping slightly. He kissed the bridge of her nose nuzzling into her hair
" Why shouldn't I some guy was manhandling my dame." Mary grit her teeth he only ever showed affection when he went alpha male, She pulled back fisting her hands in his black t shirt pulling him down she kissed him roughly putting everything into it, biting his bottom lip hard before she let him go.
"Well If you would let me climb you like a tree, I wouldn't have too find some one who will." She growled before stomping past him.
