Christmas Baby headcanons
Fluff alert!
Shieldshock: After trying for several years and seeing lots of doctors, Darcy’s Christmas gift to Steve is a tiny onesie with the shield on it and a Number One Dad mug. There’s lots of tears and happy hugs. Steve waits on her hand and foot while she’s dealing with morning sickness. The baby comes out looking like a Steve copy/paste and Darcy doesn’t know whether to be annoyed or completely delighted.
“I did the hard work, but he’s all you!” she protests weakly.
“It’ll even out as he grows,” Steve assures her, staring in awe at the tiny little face. “But I’m pretty sure he’s got your hair. So thick.”
She smiles down at her son and kisses his tiny fuzzy head. “The heartburn was worth it.”
Wintershock: Their baby arrives on Christmas day, postponing the holiday celebrations. Bucky can hardly speak, he’s so overwhelmed and absolutely adores their tiny baby, loving the way the tiny hand grips his finger. Darcy is head over heels for both her boys and loves how her son’s little pouty expression looks like Bucky’s.
Taserbones: Brock races to get back home in time for the baby’s arrival and arrives just in time for Darcy to let forth a string of curse words, due to a very intense contraction. He’s strangely relieved, because that means she’s doing okay, despite the invectives she hurls at him. Darcy is very thankful Brock made it back in time and positively melts at the sight of him holding their daughter for the first time.
TaserTorch: The twins require Darcy to have a C section and Johnny is cutely apologetic, but also in love and overwhelmed. He manages to not faint though.
“You and your super sperm,” Darcy grumbles in recovery. “Can never do anything halfway, can you?”
Johnny smirks for a second and leans over to kiss her sweaty forehead.
“When it comes to you, babe, never. I love that they got your beautiful eyes.”
“Let’s hope they got my common sense as well,” she sighs. “Much as I love you.”
She’d never seen the Human Torch cry before, but that changes the moment one of the babies is placed in his arms.
TaserWings: Darcy passes out at Sarah and Bucky’s Christmas party. She insists she’s okay, but Sam insists on getting her checked out. When she returns to the anxiously waiting Sam, she has a very dazed look on her face.
“What did they say?” he asks, jumping up to take her hands.
Darcy takes a deep breath.
“Well, you know how we thought we were super careful when I had to be off the pill?”
Sam nods and then freezes. “You mean…….”
She starts to chuckle slightly hysterically.
“My egg really said “carpe diem!” I’m so pregnant.”
She buries her face in Sam’s chest and for a second he can’t tell whether she’s shaking from laughter or tears. Then she lifts her face back to his.
“Guess we're in for an adventure, now, honey.”
Dousy: Daisy plops her pregnant self onto Daniel’s lap one day and wraps her arms around his neck, instantly distracting him from the book he’s reading.
“Hey, honey,” he grins. “Is baby Quake behaving?”
“She’s kicking a bit, actually,” Daisy says. “It’s such a funky feeling: a whole other life inside of me, just flailing away.”
Daniel gently places his hand on her tummy and grind giddily at the tiny kicks he briefly feels.
“Incredible. Such a miracle,” he murmurs. “Gonna be the best Christmas present ever.”
SarahBucky: A total surprise baby! Sarah is flabbergasted and Bucky is stunned and thrilled. AJ and Cass are a little unsure, but when baby girl Barnes arrives on Christmas Eve, they’re instantly in love. Protective Uncle Sam is PROTECTIVE. Dad! Bucky levels up. He’s very good about helping with the nitty gritty of childcare. During one late night feeding, he opens up to Sarah with memories of his younger sisters.
