I thought I lost you

[stephrogers]

Steph could feel her heart stop when she entered the baby's room. She managed to carry Becky to full term without incident. Even give birth without too much incident. The girl was beautiful, head already full of brown hair and light brown eyes. Rebecca Winifred Barnes. She left the child in care of a carefully SHIELD screened babysitter as they went off on a mission.

But there was something deeply fishy about the mission. About the babysitter. About everything. They managed to destroy the lab and apprehend the small time villain. But Dr. Skoval's boss escaped, shouting about a swell prize.

There had been a rogue agent that had beaten the Avengers to a few minor assignments in Europe. Someone with a damn good shot. IT didn't matter to Steph as she urged Natasha to fly the jet as fast as she could back to Brooklyn.

The scene before her was a disaster: the pink crib was thrown on its side, little ponies and stuffed toys ripped and flung everywhere, the star night lamp that she bought was broken. Steph's hands shook as she read over the letter. Maria and Tony were calling orders already to trace it and follow it.

Which was how she ended up in Switzerland again, shivering not due to cold but to the memory of losing her man here. The facilities were almost too easy to break into and she proceeded with caution with Tony and Natasha as backup.

"When I got your missing in action letter, my heart broke. I couldn't...I couldn't leave you missing. I went after you," she went on. "And then I found you. I kissed you so much even though we were in that interrogation room. You...we...."

That night the men were liberated, after all the red tape was clear, she and Bucky had spent private time just on their own. Becky's conception.

"Stop it," he grounds out. Moving back he sits down on the table. Even if that table was full of bad memories. Whenever he had to report a mission, whenever they thought he was out of line they'd strap him to that table and wipe away his memories. He'd be their perfect soldier again. They weren't there for the moment to do it though.

So if she did get through then they'd be screwed.

"Bucky...come on, Bucky. Don't you remember all the baseball games we went to? The movies? You've got to. Our first kiss? it was on my birthday," she kept adding. She kept pushing, tears running down her face.

"I said stop it," he growls out. He's absently rocking Becky and hardly paying attention to Steph. Though at the same time he's listening to those words. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"We were watching fireworks in the park. You said happy birthday and kissed me." Steph hoped something, anything got through to him.

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

"You're aching for something bad to happen, aren't you?" He grounds out before squeezing his eyes shut. It was slowly forming. But those eyes don't stay shut long and they snap open watching her. Keep with the memories Stephanie. It's working.

"You used to sing that song to me when I was sick. You asked me to marry you on the rooftop."

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

He shakes his head, "I didn't." But he's starting to doubt himself which wasn't good.

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

"You did! You had dinner and candles and dragged or record player up there," she pleaded.

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

He frowns and shakes his head, headache getting worse. "Stop it!. Just... stop." He slides from the table to his knees, the whole time keeping Becky close to him in that protective fatherly embrace. The one that said try and hurt her and I'll kill you.

"Our honeymoon. We went to Cape Cod." Her cheeks actually turned a little pink at remembering what they've done on their honeymoon. "We wanted kids but...then the war happened."

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

"You still wanted that night to happen though," he says through gritted teeth. "We both did."

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

"And we had that night." She reached for his hand. "Bucky, come home. Come home with Becky and I. She needs her pops. Look at her."

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

Even though he doesn't want to take her hand, he doesn't pull away from it. He's not relinquishing their daughter to her though. However, those eyes do look down at little Becky.

"...Okay." Even if their home was wrecked all to hell and back. However, Stark probably fixed it back up with Tasha's help.

She gave a happy laugh and pulled him close, kissing him. Then peppered his face with kisses. "Bucky, Bucky, Bucky..."

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

Bucky stiffens up a bit because Stephanie has to remember. He's still adjusting to all of this. He's not really the man... "Lets go home." Though he does at least kiss her back. The feel of her lips against his own...

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

She didn't care. He was saying that he wanted to go home with them. Steph kissed him softly again and again. "Okay. Okay, let's go home. Come on." She picked up her helmet and shield.

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

He kisses her back but right now, to be honest, is a little scared. Though he does allow her to lead them out. To lead them home.

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

She looked around to find the hanger. "Do you think you can fly us home?"

Becky cooed and reached up.

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure that I can."

Stephanie should know that it doesn't get Becky away from him though. We're not so sure he wants to be away from her just yet.

sorry! I think I was supposed to PM you with this link T_T

The corners of her lips tugged up so that she could smile just the slightest bit. Already, it looked like Bucky loved Becky.

*blinks* PM me what link bb?

He was falling in love with their daughter. He looks up seeing her watch him before shaking his head and moving with her toward one of the planes.

to this post? ...or...maybe it was someone else I'm thinking of...

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

Steph held onto her shield and made sure that no one was following them as they got into the plane. As long as Becky was safe, happy, that was all that mattered.

Becky cooed and snuggled into Bucky.

lol I can't remember

[shieldsnotmine.livejournal.com]

Bucky runs his flesh hand lightly over the top of her head before moving onto the plane and sitting down in the seat. He'd find a way to keep Becky with him as they flew.

me either lol either way, hiiii~

Steph sat herself into the copilot's seat and looked over the control panel. "You sure you can fly this bucket of bolts?"
