Tattoo
A King’s one shot
He’d never had a problem with your ink before, the small tattoo for your mom that graced your side was something that he’d mindlessly traced with his finger in the mornings. This one was on your forearm, the left one in the bottom side. It was as small as your other one and almost less noticeable. But knowing Bucky he was going to see it immediately, mostly because of the bandage.
You walk into the house and turn the security system off before turning it back on. Peggy was going to stay but had decided against it, her morning sickness was more like an all day sickness and she’d just wanted to go home and sleep. At this point of the pregnancy she was lucky if Steve didn’t follow her around 24/7 like a worried mother hen. You’d been given direct orders not to tell him she’d gone home for an hour, which you felt was really unfair since the first thing he was going to do when he saw you was ask where she was. And Bucky always knew when you were lying.
“Hey guys!” You call down the stairs to the basement that held the large tv, bar and comfiest chairs.
“Hey sweetheart. Come on down!” Bucky’s voice calls back, bringing a smile to your face.
“I’ll be down after I get something to eat.” You say back before dashing up the stairs and to the bedroom and Bucky share. You drop your purse on its hook then grab one of his three sweatshirts. Honestly you think he only has the zip ups because he knows you like to wear them. You make yourself some leftovers, eat, then true to your word head downstairs. You’ve bought yourself about a half hour of time.
“Where’s Peg?” Steve asks and you freeze.
“Uh, she was tired so probably in bed.” You say trying not to lie as you skirt your best friend’s husband.
“She didn’t even come down and say hi.”
“Like I said. She was tired.” You say with a shrug as you slip onto the couch next to Bucky.
“She up in the guest room?”
“I’m not sure what room she’s in.” Again, not lying, you don’t know which room Peggy is in.
“I’m gonna go check on her.”
“If you wake her she’s going to be pissed.” Bucky says and Steve nods before climbing the stairs.
“Uh oh.” You breathe and Bucky’s gaze snaps to you as Steve makes his way upstairs.
“What’s ‘uh oh’?”
“Um, nothing.”
“Sweetheart you know that I know you’re lying.”
“Peg went home. Sammy’s with her and I made her swear he’d stay but the pregnancy has been so hard and she just didn’t want Steve fussing over her so she could sleep.”
“He’s going to be pissed.” Bucky grumbles before climbing to his feet.
“She made me promise not to tell. At least for an hour.”
“I got it Sweetheart.” He says making his way up the stairs after his best friend.
You hear Steve leave five minutes later, Peg had gotten almost the hour she’d requested and you text her quickly giving her a heads up that Steve is on his way. Bucky joins you back in the basement with a sigh as he settles back on the couch next to you.
“I’m going to apologize in advance for when we have kids. I’m not going to be any better than he is.”
“I’m aware.” You tell him curling an arm around his waist and burying yourself in his side. “Although you’d think after Tori going so smoothly he’d have chilled out a little bit.”
“This one has been tougher, she’s more tired and gets sick all the time and they’ve got an almost three year old to take care of.”
“That’s true.” You watch the game quietly for a few minutes when Bucky’s phone rings.
“Yea?” He answers and you know it’s one of the boys, or Nat or Wanda. “What? I’ll ask.” He says then moves the phone away from his face.
“Sweetheart. Where is Peggy?”
“She went home?” You tell him looking confusedly up at him, “that’s where she told me she was going I swear.” Bucky nods and relays the information back to Steve.
“She’s not home. Sam’s not there either. Any ideas where she could’ve gone?” You shake your head and bite your lip. Nat and Clint were gonna bring Tori home around dinner time so there’d be some quiet at the Carter-Rogers residence so she shouldn’t have gone to get Tori. Then you gasp.
The water incident.
Bucky’s eyes snap to yours.
“The hospital. She was acting weird, rubbing her belly a lot and she knocked over an entire pitcher of water. She’s in labor and that bitch didn’t tell anyone.”
“You hear that Steve?” Bucky asks before hanging up. You sigh and stand. “What are you doing?”
“Someone needs to go get Victoria. She’s with Nat and Clint but they can’t have her overnight they don’t have any supplies.” You and Bucky on the other hand were 100% prepared to have the little girl for days on end.
“Why is she with Nat and Clint? I thought you guys were taking her with you.”
“We couldn’t really bring her to a-“ you stop and wince.
“Bring her to where.” Bucky’s voice is a low growl and you know you’ve got to confess.
“I didn’t want to show you until it was all cleaned up and healed but that was completely wishful thinking.” You tell him unzipping his sweatshirt and dropping it onto the couch. As you knew it would his gaze goes immediately to the black plastic covering your arm. You check the time then knowing it’s been covered long enough slowly peel the medical tape off of your forearm to reveal the tattoo you’d gotten. The constellation is fine and pretty on your skin.
“What sign is that?” He asks, he knows yours since buying you a pretty necklace with yours on it.
“It’s Pieces. Your sign. So I always have a reminder of you with me.” You tell him hoping he doesn’t hate it. “It looks pretty nasty now because I haven’t gotten to wash it.” You tell him as he comes closer and takes your arm in his hand so he can study it. You can’t read his face, he’s either pissed or touched, you can’t tell. At least not until his mouth collides with yours in a bruising kiss.
“So I take it you like it?” You ask when he pulls away, both of you breathless.
“I love it Sweetheart.”
“I was thinking that when we have kids I could add them to it, like connect a star of theirs to yours.”
“I love that. We should get to work on that. Like, right now.” He says before kissing you under the ear. You laugh softly before pushing on his chest.
“We need to go get Tori.”
“Sweetheart.” He groans and you laugh pushing his chest again.
“Later. You know Tori sleeps through the night now.”
“Fine.” He grumbles pressing another kiss to your lips. “Let’s go get my second favorite girl in the world.”
After putting the car seat you bought when Tori was born into the car you and Bucky head to Nat and Clint’s to pick up Tori. You let them know what’s going on and they head to the hospital to give Sam a break.
Felicity Amanda Rogers is born the next day at 4:52am. Both mom and baby are totally fine and Tori is very excited to be a big sister. When you bring Tori home to meet her little sister Steve asks if the pair of you will take up the mantel of godparents again. Which you happily do. When Bucky takes Felicity from Steve and looks over at you you nearly die it sends so much want through you.
Oh yea, you’re ready for kids with him.
Like, now.
