Chapter 27
"I love you too James." She smiled.
"Ready to go?" He asked, and she nodded in reply. They took the elevator down to the garage where they borrowed one of Tony's many cars. They usually liked to ride Bucky's motorcycle, but heading to a fancy restaurant it was easier to take a car.
When they arrived at the restaurant the waitress showed them to their table and once they were seated she handed them some menus and left them to decide on what they wanted while she got their drinks. Eva was studying the menu intently when she looked up to find Bucky staring at her with a small smile on his face.
"What?" she asked a little puzzled.
"Nothing... you're just beautiful is all." he said with a charming smile. "I could look at you all day long and never get tired of it."
"You're so sweet James."
The waitress came back to take their order and serve them their drinks. As they waited for their food Eva chewed on her straw somewhat nervously.
"Everything ok my love?" Bucky asked.
"Yes, everything is fine." She replied unconvincingly.
"You're nervous about tomorrow aren't you?" He said.
"That obvious huh?"
"I know you Eva. I know when something is bothering you. And you know that you can talk to me about it right?"
"Of course James... I know. It's just... I'm scared. What if I can't get pregnant? What if we can't have a family?"
"Don't be scared Eva. I'm sure that everything will be fine. And if by some chance we can't have children of our own... it's ok. I love you no matter what. We are in this together ok. I don't care if we can't have kids. As long as I have you, I will be happy. And there is always adoption, if it comes down to it, we can explore that. But I feel in my heart that everything will work out just fine." He told her optimistically.
"Thank you James. I love you."
"I love you too Eva."
Eva smiled and held his hand tightly before kissing him across the table. The waitress arrived with their food, interrupting the moment. She placed their bowls of pasta on the table and left them to it. After they had finished their dinner, they ordered tiramisu and waited patiently as they spoke over the softly played music.
"So the wedding will be held at the farm and we're going wedding dress shopping tomorrow, Natasha's found a beautiful dress and just has to try on." Eva told him softly, smiling to herself, she was happy for her cousin who was more like a big sister to her.
"Clint and the rest of us are going to a shop that does tuxedos for the wedding, plus we need to figure out the catering and everything else, apparently Natasha has given him the run down on the do's and don'ts." Bucky said amused.
They ate their dessert and saw people dancing on the dance floor to 1940s music, he smiled and offered her his metal hand, and she smiled back happily at him. "Dance, with me doll?" He asked softly and she smiled at him before joining him on the dance floor as Bucky twirled her around. Both of them felt happy.
They danced to the song, Let's Twist Again by Chubby Checkers, laughing as the song ended. They paid the bill, leaving a large tip for their waiter and waitress, before heading out to the car. As they neared the vehicle, they were called out to by a female voice and when they turned to see who was calling them, they saw it was none other than Christine Everhart the news reporter of WHIH News.
"Mr Barnes and Miss Nikolayev, I have a few questions for you if you wouldn't mind answering about the time you both spent under HYDRA?" The young woman inquired.
"We haven't got anything to say to you, Miss." Bucky said calmly and they both started walking past her, when she spoke up again.
"Is it true that Mikhail and Yuri Nikolayev were the ones responsible for creating your metal bionic left arm, after you lost it after falling off a train?" Christine challenged.
Bucky tensed.
"That's not their fault, they were forced to work for HYDRA as was I, and we were all victims of HYDRA." Bucky said calmly.
"Miss Nikolayev are the rumours true, that you were raped at the tender age of fifteen years old by Josef who is another Winter Soldier like Mr Barnes?" Christine asked calmly.
Eva tried to keep calm.
"That's none of your business. Now please get out of our way." Eva said as she pushed her way past and climbed into the car, slamming the door in a hurry, wanting nothing more than to be rid of that annoying, prying reporter.
The team were hanging out in the living room when Bucky and Eva disembarked the elevator both looking rather angry.
"Everything ok guys?" Natasha asked as she watched Bucky pour a strong drink of whiskey in the kitchen.
"That ignorant little bitch Christine Everhart." Eva sighed heavily. "Someone is feeding her intel on us. She had the nerve to bail us up in the car park, bombarding us with questions".
"Yeah... I'll give you one guess on who's feeding her that intel." Bucky added.
"Let me see... Josef and his merry band of misfits Lukin and Miss Vanko?" Tony replied.
"Without a doubt." Bucky told him.
"We have to put a stop to this. These news reporters have no respect for our privacy. Confronting us while we are out on a date. Next thing you know they are going to be plastering it all over the news." Bucky growled angrily.
"Don't worry Buck. We'll sort it." Steve said as he gave Sharon a nod and she began to phone Fury to update him on the situation.
"You sure you're ok?" Natasha asked Eva as she put a comforting arm around her cousin.
"Yeah, I'll be alright. I'm just tired of the past coming back to haunt me. I want to be done with it. All of it. I want to move on. I want to have a normal life, live in a house with a white picket fence, marry the man I love and have children" Eva sighed.
"Don't worry Eva. It will all be over soon enough." Natasha assured her.
"I hope it will Nat, I don't want that happening to you and Clint on your wedding day. I just want this thing with Josef to be over, it's like a dark cloud looming over us all, and soon enough it's going to unleash a shit storm upon us." Eva said quietly and Natasha saw the look of sadness in her eyes.
Natasha hated seeing her friend and cousin so down.
After speaking with Fury, the team retired for bed. Bucky found Eva sitting on the bed looking down. She looked up at him, with a somewhat hesitant look on her face before getting the courage to do something. She walked over to him and bit her lip for a second, before kissing him. He was startled for a moment before quickly responding as he held her tightly in his arms. He loved this woman so much.
'My partner, my best friend and my lover. My future wife and the mother of our children.' Bucky thought to himself and rested his forehead against hers for a moment. Eva held onto him tightly and he kissed her again, his arms placing her on the bed gently as he leaned over her, reminding Eva of a fallen dark angel.
"I love you, James." Eva whispered softly and kissed him again, Bucky nuzzled her neck and kissed her back before leaving a trail of kisses over her neck, her throat and collarbone. She then felt his lips on her chest, his stubble tickling her chest as she ran her hands through his dark brown locks, her body burning in pleasure, love and passion.
"I love you too, Eva." Bucky whispered hoarsely. He let out a feral sounding growl when Eva's hands trailed over his toned, muscled chest and felt his hard, muscled abs.
Bucky relished in the feel of her fingers dancing along his muscular body. He had missed her so much, with everything going on lately, the both of them pulling and pushing away from one another they hadn't been intimate in some time. He had felt so empty during that time, like a part of him was missing. Being with Eva again, he felt complete. There was no doubt in his mind that they were meant to be together forever.
As Eva's hands travelled lower Bucky's heart began to race even faster than before. It was almost like it was their first time all over again. For some strange reason he felt nervous. But his lust, love and desire far outweighed that feeling. When she slid her hand into his pants he gasped as he took in a sharp breath. "Oh shit." He whispered in pleasure.
"I've missed you." Eva whispered with a smile.
"I've missed you too my love, so, so much."
Bucky slid down the bed and removed Eva's jeans, tossing them aside as he admired her gorgeous body. Running his hands up her thighs he felt her quiver beneath his touch.
He checked to see if she was alright and she nodded at him softly as he slid his flesh hand over her warm centre while cupping and kneading her breast with his metal hand. Eva arched into his chest, her breathing light as she tangled her hands into his long dark brown hair, his eyes meeting hers and he pressed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.
"So damn beautiful, and all mine." Bucky said hoarsely and wrapped his arms around her as they were both now naked, Eva smiled shyly and wrapped her arms around him as he laid her back down on the bed. They stared at each other for a moment, and Bucky crushed his lips to hers into a passionate kiss full of passion and love as she wrapped her arms around him.
He gently slipped one of his fingers into her and almost growled at feeling how wet and warn she was.
"You're so beautiful."
"Oh god James." She panted breathlessly as he began to set a slow rhythmic pace with his fingers.
"Does that feel good baby?" he asked as he kissed her neck softly.
"Sooo good." She replied. "But I want you inside of me."
"Someone's not fucking around." Bucky chuckled.
"I've missed you... and I need you." Eva panted.
"Your wish is my command princess." Bucky told her as he withdrew his fingers and began to position himself between her legs. Slowly he slid himself inside of her, relishing in how tight and warm she felt around him. "Oh shit..." He sighed in pleasure. "Can't promise I'm going to last too long sweetheart." He smiled shyly.
"It's ok, I don't think I'm going to need long." Eva blushed. He had made her feel so good with his hands that she already felt close to orgasm.
Bucky waited a moment for Eva to adjust to him before he began to set their pace. Their bodies moved together in unison like they were made for one another. With each thrust Eva was nearing closer and closer to orgasm, and Bucky was doing his best to keep a steady rhythm and not let out his primal side that just wanted to devour his woman.
Eva seemed to sense what he was thinking; she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lovingly on the mouth to reassure him that she wasn't frightened of him or the Winter Soldier.
Realising this, Bucky let out his darker side and crushed his lips to Eva's as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her hips tightly, and began thrusting deep and hard inside of her, she moaned into his mouth, gripping his dark brown hair with her hands tightly, whispering his name.
"James… oh James." Eva whispered breathlessly, she laced her fingers with his metal ones, and he nuzzled her neck lovingly.
"Come for me, doll. Come on, I want to see you fall apart around me and fill your womb with my child." Bucky said roughly, Eva moaned at the thought and rocked against him heavily.
Right then, she shattered around him with a soft cry of his name and kissed him lovingly on the mouth.
Bucky kept going as hard as he could, prolonging her orgasm as she came, until he felt himself let go, and spilling himself inside her. He twitched and growled into her neck, before feeling himself relax. He nuzzles her cheek, feeling her smile breathlessly, and then kisses her softly on the lips.
When he pulls back, she strokes his cheek, sighing softly. "I really hope this appointment goes well, I want to have your children, James."
Bucky smiles softly at her before rubbing her sides. "I will...it's gonna work out, baby. It will. I swear to you." She laid down next to him, as he pulled the sheets over her as she snuggled into his side.
'Please god, please don't take this away from us. Please, let me make her happy, let us get married, have children, nieces and nephews along with grandchildren.' Bucky prayed.
The following day Bucky and Eva waited not so patiently in the reception of the fertility specialist. The seconds seemed to tick by really slowly, as they anxiously waited to see the doctor. Finally a short brunette lady wandered into the room and called out. "Miss Nikolayev and Mr Barnes?" Immediately the paired jumped up and followed the doctor to the room, they each took a seat as the doctor bought up Eva's blood test results on the computer.
"Now, Eva... your tests show that your body isn't working quite the way it should." The doctor began, and both Bucky and Eva had a sinking feeling in their stomachs. Like all their hopes and dreams had just been ripped away from them. What was wrong with her? What it because of Josef? Had that monster ruined their chances at having a family together?
Thoughts were spinning round and round in Eva's mind. She swallowed bravely and nodded at the doctor in understanding as she gripped Bucky's hand tighter, feeling like she had failed him, she wasn't able to look him in the eye.
"Your blood results show that you are not ovulating regularly. Your cycle is not on a normal schedule. Now, this could be due to the trauma you suffered when you were younger." The doctor told her, well aware of Eva's medical history after their first conversation. "But this sort of thing can also happen for no apparent reason, and can even affect young and otherwise healthy women like yourself." she continued.
"So... it's not impossible to get pregnant?" Bucky asked hopefully.
"Impossible... no. Difficult... yes... But, that is without medication." The doctor told them, and there was a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
"What kind of medication?" Eva asked, a little concerned.
"Well to begin with we would put you on a three month trial of Clomiphene. It assists with ovulation and will help your body to ovulate on a more regular schedule." the doctor told her. "There are some side effects such a blurred vision, headaches and hot flashes, but these are nothing to be worried about and I will give you a pamphlet on all of this. The other thing is that this drug can increase your chance of having twins by ten percent, due to multiple ovulation." The doctor warned.
"Nothing we can't handle." Bucky smiled happily.
"And if this doesn't work?" Eva asked.
"I think the chances of this working for you are very high, but if the three month trial doesn't result in pregnancy, then we would look at possible doing another three months, or exploring the possibility of IVF, but don't worry about that for the time being." She said as she wrote Eva a prescription for Clomiphene and set another appointment for four months' time. "Now if you become pregnant just cancel the appointment, and I will know why." She smiled at the two of them as she shook their hands. "Good luck, to the both of you."
As Eva and Bucky left the clinic they both had huge smiles on their faces. They finally had some answers and they felt like their dreams had a real chance of coming true. It was a massive weight lifted from their shoulders.
Bucky pulled Eva into his side and she wrapped her arms around him tightly, almost crying with tears of relief and joy at the thought of having a baby with Bucky.
"We're gonna be alright, we're gonna be alright doll. We're gonna have a big family, I can just tell we are." Bucky told her, and Eva smiled at him and took his hand tightly.
"I can too, I have a feeling everything will work out." She whispered softly and Bucky held her tightly.
Clint had always known that the media would follow them and reveal their private lives, but there were limits and Christine Everhart seemed to be breaking every one of those lines.
Bucky had phoned them and told them that he and Eva had news from the fertility clinic, and judging from the tone of his voice, it sounded like good news.
"I hope everything went well for them, they deserve a happy ending after everything that's happened." Natasha said quietly and Clint wrapped his arm around her tightly, they saw Bucky and Eva enter the tower and they both smiled.
"What's the news, is everything ok?" Steve asked worriedly, he really hoped that Bucky and Eva were able to start a family.
"The fertility doctor said I have to take medication called Clomiphene to help my fertility, my blood work came back and it seems my cycle was damaged in some way. But...we can start trying as soon as I begin the medication. Bucky and I think that we should just hold off until all this HYDRA business is behind us. Then its baby time! But there is a chance we might end up having twins." Eva said pleased and Bucky held up two black t - shirts.
'Daddy and Mommy Avengers.'
Everyone cheered then and Natasha didn't care if anyone saw her softer side, she ran towards Eva and hugged her tightly.
"So four assassins as parents… cause let's face it, it's only a matter of time before Romanoff has a bun in the oven." Tony laughed. "And these kids are going to have a genius/ Iron man, and a badass CEO for an Uncle and Aunt. As well as Uncle Steve and Aunty Sharon not to mention the rest of the team. This family is about to get bigger!" He smiled.
"Wait…Twins?!" Rhodey asked startled.
"Twins run in both of our families, my old man's side of the family had twins and so do Eva's." Bucky explained amused. "So the chances are high, especially with the drugs."
Clint groaned at his sudden thought and turned to Natasha.
"If we have any daughters, I am not letting them date until at least they've learned every form of martial arts. Hell, Uncle Bucky will even teach them some moves." Clint said firmly.
"They'll all have bodyguards and major trust funds." Tony said bluntly, causing everyone to stare.
"Tony, you don't have to do that." Bucky said shocked and Tony waved a hand at him, dismissively.
"They're my future nephews and nieces, and I would die before I let anything happen to them. There is already enough bad shit in this world, and I will make sure they are protected from it, as I'm sure anyone else on this team would too." Tony said seriously. "God soon enough this whole place is gonna be swarming with rugrats. Next thing you know Steve will be knocking Sharon up." Tony laughed.
Sharon laughed and Steve looked alarmed and slightly angry. "Do we have to call it 'knocking up'?" Steve scolded.
"Oh I'm sorry…I forget you're practically 90! 'Soon enough Sharon will be with child.'" Tony laughed. "That better?"
Steve's face turned a light shade of pink.
"Steve won't let our child out of his sight, he'll be overprotective daddy." Sharon said amused, she and Steve exchanged soft smiles.
"What about you two?" Rhodes inquired as he nodded at Sam, Tessa, Tony and Pepper.
"I'd like having mini falcons with Sam." Tessa said easily and bit into some southern fried chicken.
"Someday right Pep." Tony smiled at his girlfriend. Finally coming around to the idea of having a family of his own.
