6Stucky Story 1 CH 4
A/N: Thank you again to everyone who is reading my story! It means a lot to me. I'm sorry that the updates are not as fast as everyone would like them to be. I am trying my best to put good chapters up and if I don't think they are worthy of putting up, I scrap it and start all over again. So this is half my problem. I do NOT own any of the Marvel characters! The only character that is my creation is Elizabeth. The plot is also my own. Thanks again everybody.
Walking back to his room, Steve had to take a few deep, long breaths. He didn't mean to lose his cool with his friends and teammates, but there comes a time when you have to voice how you really feel. Today just happened to be one of those times. He was never one of those people to prolong what he had to say and how he felt. The way he does things is a product of growing up in the era that he did. As he came to his room, he stopped in the doorway to observe the interaction between his best friend and boyfriend and his daughter.
Sitting on Steve's bed, Bucky had his back towards the door looking at his little girl. " Daddy, are we swaying here?" The little two year old girl asked Bucky.
Pulling her blanket out from his backpack and covering her up, he replied back " I would love to stay here with Steve and you, but the others don't want us to be here. So I don't really know what is going to happen."
"Daddy I weawwy wike him. Is he my daddy too?" Elizabeth asked her dad. She was holding her stuffed puppy, ready to fall asleep any minute.
Still standing in the doorway, Steve was shocked to hear what Elizabeth said about him to Bucky. He was happy that she liked him. Steve always wanted at least one child, and he sees he has that opportunity to be there for that little girl as if she was his own. What surprised him even more was what Bucky replied with.
"You don't know how happy it makes me that you like Steve baby girl. I really like him a lot too. And to answer you question, I would love if he became your daddy. I just don't know if that will ever be possible. You see your daddy to everyone isn't good. They see me as a mean bad guy that should not be around Steve or around here." He said to his little girl.
Hearing enough, Steve makes himself known. "You know I don't care what anyone else thinks about you Buck. I know that you are a great guy and my best friend and the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Seeing Steve walk in, Elizabeth got all excited and as fast as she could climbed out of bed and went to hug Steve. "You here!" She said to him.
Kneeling down her level, Steve said "Yeah baby girl I'm here." He had her wrapped up in a hug and he didn't want to let go.
Bucky couldn't help but smile at the scene. Looking at the two, Bucky couldn't help but want Steve to adopt Elizabeth and the three of them could live together as a family.
"Let's get you back to bed little one." Steve said as he picked Elizabeth up and walked over to his bed. Before he put her on the bed, he pulled back the covers and then placed her in the middle of the bed and proceeded to cover the small child up. Smiling down at her, Steve said "Sleep tight sweetheart." And gave her a kiss on her head before standing back up.
What they weren't expecting was the question that Elizabeth asked Steve "Are you going to be my daddy too?"
Both Steve and Bucky froze. Looking back Steve said "I would love to be your daddy too, if it's okay with you and your daddy." Steve looked back at his boyfriend. Bucky nodded. They both knew that they would have a lot to talk about.
The little girl quickly fell asleep. She was exhausted from her day at the park and this was the first great sleep she has had. So Bucky and Steve went and sat together on the floor to talk about what has happened.
"Steve I never meant to cause trouble with you and your friends. I can clearly see that they don't want me here. It's not fair to them I came here unwelcomed and crashed in their home." Bucky said to Steve who was sitting beside him.
"They will get over it. We all said our peace and that is final. I don't care what they think or want. They all have people here that they are either friends with or they're a couple. I never asked for anything from them. I was fine on my own, you know how I am. I never cared that they all had friends over or that there are teammates that are seeing each other or if they choose to throw a party. I never had a problem with any of it. Now that you are here and back in my life I feel like I can live life again, and I asked them to be okay with that and they weren't. So things were said and that is all there is to it. You are here with me, and so is Elizabeth. I have put everyone else first since the war and now it's time I think about myself and my needs." Steve looked at Bucky.
"I know this is going to sound selfish of me, but I don't think I can just leave. Knowing that I was walking away from you, giving up being happy and my daughter's happiness. It's wrong of me to say that I don't care what they say, but I don't. I have lived life thinking that I was never going to be happy again. I can't go back to being that way. And to see how happy Elizabeth is with you, I have never seen her smile as much as I have with you. I just want us to be a family. Is that too much to ask for?" He said looking at Steve. He knew that it wasn't his decision, but he was going to fight for his happiness along with his daughter's. He fought for the last 70 years and won, he surely isn't going to let a group of people who don't even know him take that away from him now.
As Bucky was telling Steve how he felt, he couldn't help but feel even more love for the man and his best friend sitting in front of him. He admired how Bucky was willing to fight, not only his friends, but the Avengers to keep what is his. Steve smiled at the thought of someone fighting for him. He always fought and still fights for others, but it has been 75 years since someone has fought for him. "I don't want you and Elizabeth to go anywhere. We can make this work between us and have a happy family." Pointing over his shoulder at the sleeping girl in his bed, Steve continued "She doesn't want to leave either."
Once Steve was done talking, Bucky leaned in and kissed Steve. To Steve's surprise at first, but quickly kissed him back. When they broke apart, Steve, blushing says "That was nice. A man could get used to that."
Bucky smiles and looks at his Steve and says "I hope you get used to that. That's how you're going to wake up every day for the rest of your life."
Steve smiled and blushed again before saying "Hey Buck, since baby girl is taking up the bed, we should put cushions on the floor and have a sleep over." Steve suggested.
Laughing Bucky replied "I would love to lay cushions down and sleep with you."
And that's what they did, the two senior citizens used the cushions from the couch out in the living room, and found one blanket for the both to cover up with. Laying down, Bucky held on to Steve as if his life depended on it and Steve held his hand. That's how the small family spent their first night.
