Warnings: pregnancy

Synopsis: Four years after Steve and Bucky got to the bottom of the HYDRA conspiracy that had led to you and your son being hunted for the first three years of his life, you, Bucky, and Steve have carved out a nice life together.  Things are calm and you feel like a family unit.  When Geo starts calling Bucky and Steve ‘dad’, a decision is made to try and add to your family.

Things aren’t as calm as they seem.  When your pregnancy hits the papers, HYDRA rears its head once again, and Steve and Bucky need to track you down to protect the family they had created.

Chapter 10

The tabloid sites all latched on to the story of you being pregnant very quickly.  Due to the fact you were often seen out with either Bucky or Steve or both, there had been speculation about who exactly you were.  Theories went from dating one and cheating on them with the other.  Being a ‘close family friend’.  Dating one and the other being a close friend.  Bouncing between them both like a ping-pong ball.  Many fans speculated that they were polyamorous.  Bucky had even made the mistake of going deep into the ‘Avengers fandom’ and discovered people doing what they called ‘shipping’ the three of you together.  Not just the three of you but him and Steve with all kinds of people.  He’d stopped looking when he saw people writing stories about him and Tony together.  It turned out there were things he was better off not knowing.

None of the tabloids ever assumed polyamory though, and neither he nor Steve was going to confirm it for them.  That made your pregnancy the subject of a lot of speculation.  Whose baby was it?  The most loved version of the story was that it was Bucky’s love child conceived while you were cheating on Steve with him.

It was a little stressful, but Bucky had heard worse.  There was still a vocal majority that considered him a threat that should have been tried for his crimes years ago.  Bucky had learned a long time ago not to google himself unless he was feeling particularly self-destructive.  You, on the other hand, were still learning, so it took some reassuring that this matter was no one else's business.

Besides the ever-present gossip mill, things were going well.  Every doctor's appointment showed that the baby was developing well.  All the tests you had were coming back fine.  You seemed to be full of energy and Geo was starting to get excited about the idea of having a little brother or sister.  The new place was nearly finished.  Bucky hadn’t been sent on a mission for a long time.  He felt happy - and that was a feeling he liked to experience as fully as he could because he knew from experience how fleeting it could be.

The three of you had decided to take Geo along to the ultrasound where you’d be finding out the sex.  He had only seen pictures of the baby so far and you’d thought he might like to see them moving around and find out if he was having a brother or a sister.  According to you, the baby was kicking a lot at the moment, so you weren't worried about bad news being delivered.

Geo sat on Bucky’s lap while Steve sat beside you, holding your hand as the technician squeeze the gel onto your stomach.  “Have they been kicking much?”  Brown asked as she began to move the wand around on your stomach.  Bucky looked up at the screen, waiting for the baby to come into view.

You smiled and nodded.  “So much.  The little nugget is going to be a fighter.”

Brown smiled.  “Just like it’s dads, huh?”  She said.  “Has anyone else felt the kicks?”

“Not yet,” Steve answered.  “I can’t wait though.”

The baby came into view on the screen.  You’d been getting pretty regular ultrasounds with your checkups and Bucky liked how the little blob was getting bigger and looking more like a baby every time.  “It shouldn’t be too much longer.  I’d bet by the end of the week you get a little flutter against your hand.”

Steve looked at Bucky and grinned and Bucky couldn’t help but lean over and peck his lips.  Geo didn’t seem that happy with the action and he wriggled in Bucky’s lap.  Bucky chuckled and pulled back.  “Can you see the baby, G?”  He asked, pointing at the screen.

Geo nodded.  “The machine is really cool how it works.  It’s using sound to make the shape of the baby inside mom.”

“That’s right,” Brown said.  “You’re a smart kid.”

Geo looked up at Bucky and grinned obviously very proud of himself.  Bucky smiled and ruffled his hair.

“If you see here,” Brown said.  “This is the baby's head, and their spine.  They have hands and feet and you can even see their toes and fingers…”

Geo watched on fascinated by the digital image of his new sibling.  Not just because that was his new sibling, but because he had a scientific fascination with where it was developmentally and how the machines could show what they show.  He asked lots of questions about whether it could hear or see and how it absorbed food.  Bucky couldn’t really remember what kids were like, and so he had no idea if this was advance thinking for a seven-year-old or not.  He felt like it was advanced though, and he made a mental note to ask you later.

“Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?”  Geo asked.

“I can find out,” the tech said.  “Is that okay, Captain Rogers?”

Steve chuckled.  “It’s not just my decision to make.”

Brown hid her face behind her hands for a moment and shook her head.  “I’m so sorry, that is such a default reaction.”

“It’s fine,” Steve said.  “Please just relax.  We’re just patients.  And yes, we already decided we wanted to find out.”

She moved the wand around to get it into position.  “Well, bud,” Brown said.  “Did you have a preference?”

“I dunno,” Geo said.  “I don’t have either.”

“Well you don’t have a brother,” Brown said.  “You’re going to have a little sister.”

“It’s a girl?”  Bucky asked, looking over at you and Steve to see your reactions.  Steve looked like he’d been lit up from the inside, and tears had pricked your eyes.

“That’s right.  It’s a girl,” Brown confirmed.

“A little girl,” Steve said, softly.

“Now we have one of each,” Bucky said, and Geo turned around on Bucky’s lap and hugged him.  Bucky closed his arms around the boy, hugging him tightly.  “You’re gonna be such a good big brother,” Bucky whispered as he hugged the boy.

“Do you want any pictures this time?”  Brown asked.

“Yes, please,” you said, quickly.

Brown cleaned off the paddle and pressed the button to print out the photos of the baby.  You grabbed some kleenex from the counter and cleaned the gel off your stomach.  “You think Morgan will be excited there’s going to be another little girl around?”  Steve asked Geo.

“Probably,” Geo said.  “As long as she likes robots too.  Umm… you think the baby will be able to talk to the computers like I can?”

Steve furrowed his brow as he helped you up.  Bucky shook his head to clear it.  It was strange, despite the fact that Geo had powers that he’d clearly gotten from you, and the fact both he and Steve had the Super Serum, the thought of a super-powered baby had never really crossed their minds.  It was like all that was just such a normal part of their lives now, they didn’t really think about how it impacted things.  You didn’t have powers and it was possible the only reason Geo did was that both you and his father had been through experimentation so close to his conception.  It could be that those drugs were now completely out of your system, but no one had thought to look into that first.

“You know what?”  Steve said eventually.  “I don’t know.”

“Probably should have considered that before we dived in with both feet, huh?” You said.

“You could ask your obstetrician about doing an amniocentesis,” Brown suggested.  “Then they could do a genetic workup.  Check for abnormalities.”

“Don’t they have risks involved?”  You asked.

“Sure, but normally it’s one of those things where there are risks involved either way, and you decide which outcome is worse,” Brown explained.

You furrowed your brow and nodded and Bucky wondered what you were thinking.  “Thank you, Miss Brown,” Steve said.  “We’ll see you next time.”

“Of course,” she said, brightly.  “See you.”

The four of you walked out into the ward and headed to the elevator.  “I’m sorry if I upset you,” Geo said as the doors opened.

“You didn’t, G.  Don’t worry,” you assured him, kissing the top of his head.  “It’s just not something we thought about when we probably should have.  Because you got your powers from me and your birth dad, but Bucky and Steve have their own powers.”

“Well, we’re enhanced,” Steve corrected them.  “Not the same as what you have.”

“I think…” Bucky said slowly, aware that this was not a discussion that should be held in front of Geo, but also knowing that the boy needed to be reassured that his powers were not a negative, nor would he be losing the sister he really only just met.  “I think it might be too late to worry about.  I mean… what if they do find out the baby is enhanced?  It’s not like we would love them any less, or not want them.  They’d just be special, like Geo.”

“Of course,” you said quickly.  “We would have done this either way I think.”

“So… let’s just wait and see.  We don’t want to risk anything bad happening,” Bucky said.  “The baby looks normal, so we know it’s not a tentacle beast.”

Geo started laughing.  “That would be so cool.”

“She might not be able to talk to computers even if she does have powers though, G,” you said, stifling your own laugh. “When I had powers I could hear people’s thoughts.  And your dad, he could run really fast.”

“Wow,” Geo said. “I hope she can fly.”

“Oh my goodness,” you said.  “I don’t.”

“Yeah, imagine having to change a diaper on a baby and it’s zooming around over your head,” Bucky said, making Geo breakdown into fits of giggles.

“Alright, Geo,” Steve said.  “You go wash up and we’ll have some lunch.  Do you want to see if Morgan can come to play and you can tell her all about your sister?”

“Yeah, alright,” Geo said, running off to the bathroom.

Steve turned to you and Bucky and took your hands.  “It’s going to be fine,” he said.  “We can face whatever happens, I know we can.”

“Let’s just hope they can’t fly,” you joked.

“We’ll handle that too,” Steve said.

“Yeah, we’ll put a little harness on them, and weigh them down with rocks,” Bucky joked and you burst out laughing.

Steve wrapped his arms around you and pulled Bucky in close so that all three of you were holding each other.  Bucky closed his eyes and breathed you both in, confident that together, you could all handle whatever powers she may or may not have.

↳ DOMESTIC!STEVE HARRINGTON | MASTERLIST

Fandom: Stranger Things 

Word Count: 3,475

A/N: I needed something fluffy after watching ST3, so uh.... Here ya go. Inspired by this post by @xstrangerwritings !!

You and Steve had been talking about leaving Hawkins for what felt like forever, planning down to the smallest details and saving every penny

Just wanting to move away from all the terrible shit that happened there, all of the bad memories and associations

So after a year or so of saving up money, the two of you decided to jump the gun and just do it

You’d end up somewhere considerably bigger than your hometown

Either Louisville, which was just south of Hawkins, or a little north into Indianapolis

You’d end up in a little brick house with ugly black shutters (that you’d later get drunk and paint lime green, which the Landlord was surprisingly cool with) and a good sized backyard, all in a quiet suburb

The house wasn’t very big, or very impressive like the ones you used to live in back home, but it was just enough for the two of you

Two bedrooms and one bathroom, a small kitchen and a slightly bigger living room

It was so small, but your options were limited because of your age and how little money you had

Determined to not have to ask either of your parents for money, wanting to prove that the two of you could do this and be truly independent, so you made it work

The two of you did everything by yourselves

Painting the walls, packing and unpacking boxes, moving furniture...

You wanted to strangle Steve with your bare hands a couple times throughout the first couple days, and he was right there with you

Both of you were exhausted and annoyed and sweating like crazy in the sweltering summertime heat, it just wasn’t a good mix at all

By the end of the third day, the two of you had almost finished the living room, and it truly had started to feel like a home

Your home, together

The Harrington’s on Highland Street

And as you stood in the kitchen doorway, looking into the living room, you felt so proud of yourselves

The two of you were tired and sweaty and covered from head to toe in colorful housepaint, but he’d still pull you in for a long kiss

Soon enough, both of you had landed good enough jobs in your new town

But then, you had started to realize that it was a little bit lonely, something was missing...

And then Steve brought home this fat, scruffy little puppy one day and everything fell into place

You didn’t even question where the hell he’d gotten the dog, even though you probably should’ve

It wouldn’t take long for both of you to fall in love with the little monster

It’s literally your new best friend, but it definitely prefers Steve

Really only because he feeds it a little too much and will take it in the (fenced in) back yard and literally run in circles so it can chase him

“This is my workout now! Baby, look!”

After a while, you decide to take up babysitting neighborhood kids for some extra money

Steve grimaces when you mention it because he figured the babysitting days were over since the two of you moved, but ultimately he warms up to it

it doesn’t take long for you to get a gig babysitting a 2yo and a 12wk old twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays

Their mom works night shift those nights and is paying a sizable sum for you to keep them overnight, which you’re happy to do

The first night that she’s supposed to drop them off, you’re a nervous wreck, rethinking the entire thing

But suddenly Steve is really confident

Back in Hawkins, he used to babysit the kids all the time and they made it out in one piece

So this should be a piece of cake, because babies can’t be that different than whole children

... Right???

Neither of you are a hundred percent where to start as you sift through the overnight bag she’d given you

The toddler is sitting on the couch with a tiny little kid book, quiet as can be, while the baby is practically clinging to your chest

So eventually, Steve just goes and sits down beside her and starts making conversation

Well, as much as she can, she’s little

The two start getting along very well and then he’s digging through the bag to find all of her toys and flipping the TV onto a kid’s channel for noise

Meanwhile, you’ve moved into a quieter room, now sitting up in your big cozy bed with the baby feeding her

Once it gets a little late, Steve makes a little bed for her on the couch and tucks her in, and she falls right asleep

He quietly enters the bedroom to see that you’ve dozed off, the now-cold half-empty bottle of formula between your legs with the baby resting across your chest, her head resting atop your breasts

And he just melts, immediately, and his it creeps into his mind that that’s what you’d look like holding his baby

It’s the sweetest thing he’s ever seen, honestly

The next day, you’d be poking fun at how good he was with the older kid and he’d be joking about you being so good with the baby and all of a sudden that’s when he realizes it

He wants to have a baby with you

A tiny little thing that was the perfect combination of you and him

Your bright (Y/E/C) eyes, his untameable brown hair, your intelligence and his wit

He’d never really thought about children before, at least having any of his own

He just always assumed that one day his wife would get pregnant and that was that, that he’d just wait for that or whatever

But now, it was sinking in that he wants to have a kid with you

The same epiphany comes for you, just a couple weeks later than his

You had left him alone with the kids for a few minutes while you went to take a quick shower, and had come back to see the older girl rested across his torso, arm loosely thrown over his stomach, and the baby pulled close into his side, just above her

It really did something to you, because oh fuck, now you’re realizing that you want to have a baby with him

You just swooned at the sight of them, so cozy and happy, and couldn’t help but wonder what your own children would be like

Both of you are silent, both thinking of the best way to broach the subject

But then one night as you’re laying in bed cuddling, nearly fallen to sleep, he just blurts it out

“Y/N? I think we should have a baby.”

After some discussion, you decided to put that on the backburner and start particularly saving up money for a baby, just for when the time was right

The next eight months just breeze right by

And then, it all comes to a screeching halt

You realized that you’d been nauseous for a few days, throwing up first thing in the morning on most days

And your aversion to your favorite food, your weird cravings lately...

And now a late period...

It’s only when Steve makes a halfhearted little “maybe you’re just pregnant” joke that you even thought about it

It sinks in for both of you at literally the exact same time, and without saying anything, he just leaves and beelines for the store to buy a pregnancy test

So after you go through the process of taking it, the two of you just sit on the cold tile floor in the bathroom beside each other staring at the little stick

He’s absolutely terrified, he’s way more anxious than he thought he would be when this happened, but at the same time, he wasn’t sure he would ever actually be in this situation

Sure, the two of you had talked about it, and decided that it could wait, but he really didn’t see it happening for a looong time then but now it’s suddenly his reality

You’re just kind of chilling, torn between joining him in being absolutely fucking terrified or overjoyed, or just kind of numb

Your hand creeps over to his, and he takes it, holding it tightly, running his thumb over the soft back of your hand reassuringly

And then, slowly but surely, two bold pink lines show up

Pregnant

You’re both stunned for a moment before happy tears start flowing, and soon enough you’re in his lap hugging all over him and he’s holding you so tight that you can barely breathe

The very next day, you call a clinic and make an appointment to confirm the pregnancy and see how far along you are

Steve takes the day off, citing a family emergency as the cause, because he refuses to miss this

And he’s so fascinated with everything in the room, all of the shiny silver tools and the computer and the spinning stool

Such a child, truly

You have to quietly scold him every so often when he gets a little too curious and starts opening cabinets

The doctor finally comes in with results...

Positive, again

You’re having Steve’s baby

The thought was absolutely earth-shattering for the both of you, but you were 100% sure that you’d get through it together, it’ll be okay

And it was, it really was

You were about eight weeks along, just far enough to see a big grey blob inside a big black blob on the ultrasound photo (which would later be framed and hung up on the wall in your house)

From the very day you found out that you really were pregnant, Steve was the absolute best partner you could’ve asked for

Always making sure that you’re comfortable and taken care of

Anything you want, he’ll do his best to get it for you

And he’s so supportive, more than usual

Like, he’d comfort you for an hour after you cry because or something sad on TV and have no complaints

He’d want to laugh a little at how sweet it was, but would catch himself and just keep you in his arms until your emotions evened out again

When you start to have a lil bump, he’s obsessed

And so, so incredibly protective of you both

When it gets big enough to kick, he loves playing with it

Tapping little rhythms against your belly, talking to the baby

The two of you would be laying in bed at night and his hand would just creep over and start tapping, causing it to kick into you

He couldn’t stop himself, he just had to feel it before either of you fell asleep

And he’s always on about names, constantly

Some are kinda bad, but most are pretty good

Constantly jokes about naming it after you, or him

He’s very picky though, will immediately shoot down a name if he knew someone who knew someone who had that name and was an assclown

Which might actually be a good thing, although annoying

At night before bed is when he gets into that sort of stuff, and it just becomes a habit

You’ll stay up for ages talking about it all

What the baby will look like, if it’ll inherit his wild hair, your eyes

What kind of music it’ll like when it’s older and what it’s favorite food will be, what it’s favorite toys will be

Ultimately, he’s incredibly anxious, but that sort of helps him get through it

He’s so hung up and worried about whether he’ll be a good dad or not

He and his parents don’t have the best relationship, and the last thing he wants is for his kid to go through that

It’s all he seems to think about when you’re not with him

He doesn’t tell you about any of this until a bit later, though

It finally comes out when you’re about five and a half months along and you see him sitting on the floor in the nursery late at night, tears in his eyes

It all comes pouring out when you sit down with him and start talking

It ends with you taking him into a big hug and letting him cry for a bit, and then going back to bed and for the first time in your relationship, you big spoon him instead

Running your fingers through his hair, whispering sweet little things into his ear and kissing his neck, making sure he knows you’re here for him

He loves the feeling of your bump against him, the two of you don’t fit together quite right but that’s okay

When you actually give birth, it’s total chaos from the start

As soon as your water breaks, he’s running around like a headless chicken in pure panic

Absolute. Panic.

You’ve just decided to sit down for a few minutes while he literally runs around in panic, giving him a second

“Steve, sweetheart, it’s fine. We have at least a few hours. So can you please go get the hospital bag while I get ready to go? It’s not an emergency.”

“Baby!! You’re having the baby!! This is totally an emergency!!”

He literally doesn’t leave your side the entire time you’re in labor

Like, he pulls a chair up to the bedside and just chills

And when it gets serious, like the baby is actually being delivered, he is so nervous

Like, he’s probably squeezing your hand tighter than you are his

Just out of anticipation

And when the baby is finally born and he gets to cut the umbilical cord, he literally just breaks down in tears

So many tears

(Let’s say the baby is a girl, but feel free to change pronouns if you want)

She’s so freaking perfect

So tiny and so sweet, so delicate and fragile

Just the best little thing he’s ever seen in his entire life

He loved her so much when she was in your belly, and now that she’s really here, he loves her so much more and he just doesn’t understand how

And as he holds her for the first time, he can’t believe that he helped make her

Like, she’s just so beautiful and perfect

They take her away for a little while and the two of you take that time to just relax

But he can’t stop thinking about the fact that you’re parents now, that he’s a dad

By the way, the two of you would settle on a name that’s cute, a little weird, not entirely common

Or just straight up named after one of you, just like he joked about during the pregnancy

(Little Stevie Harrington? Stella, maybe? How about the more common Stephanie? He’s down for it if you are)

When the name is officially decided, the first thing he does is call the kids back home

Who had eagerly been awaiting news of baby’s arrival since he told them you were pregnant

They freak out and he freaks out and everyone just freaks out for a few minutes

When you finally get to bring her home, Steve simply refuses to put her down

Like, it might actually be unhealthy

He’s just so in love and obsessed with her

He willingly takes night shift just so he can have more quiet time with her

And every time she cries, his heart skips a beat

He hates it, he hates to hear his girl cry, even though he knows that she just needs something and it’s simple

Sometimes, you’ll wake up with the bed empty and go in the nursery to find him asleep with her on his chest, sitting in the rocker

She is SUCH a daddy’s girl, even from the start

You can’t help but take so many pictures

And he’s the same way, he’s constantly taking pictures of you and her together

When he first starts taking a bunch of pictures, you’re annoyed as hell that he won’t put the camera down, but somehow he manages to convince you they’ll be worth it in 20 years

And he is completely right

(By the way, her friends all 100% have such a crush on young!Steve when they see the pictures, but also probably old!Steve too because... I’m not going to assume that he WOULDN’T be an absolute dilf, that’s just facts)

The kids finally come to visit when she’s a couple months old

You can’t help but lecture all of them for a second or two on how to hold a baby, how to keep her up, etc, but they don’t mind

Dustin is the first to hold her and he’s so excited that he can hardly hold still

When he finally passes her off to Max and El, who are both just amazed

Will literally looks at her with such heart eyes

They’re all just absolutely amazed that freaking STEVE had a baby

Like, they did not expect that one at all but it works

They’re so proud of the two of you and just in love with their little neice

Joyce is so excited to be an “auntie” tbh, like no old told her she was, she just assumed, and she’s right

Mike and Lucas totally make a joke about him being a permanent babysitter now or something

Robin’s smiling and cracking jokes like “hmm... still a dingus. Your baby isn’t though” and he’s like “oh, bite me, you know we’re both perfect”

And Steve definitely cries later that night, when everyone’s gone

He’s just so happy, his heart has never been more full in his entire life

By the way, the little puppy isn’t so little anymore and they definitely love the baby

When she’s a little older, they play together so much

Like, you can put her down on her little play mat in the living room and pup won’t let her crawl around too much where you can’t see her from the kitchen or something

Such a good lil doggie

And as soon as she’s old enough, she realizes that if she acts sad, Steve will do literally anything for her

A n y t h i n g

She also learns that he makes funny faces from the pain when she pulls on his hair and clothes and she just loves that

He is also constantly playing with her and keeping her entertained

Steve is definitely a “cool dad”, more like a friend than an actual parent, but it’s the best

Let me repeat... She is SUCH a daddy’s girl

At about ten months old, she takes her first steps

Steve was busy doing something and she was playing with some toys in the other room

And he just hears a little ‘thump’ so he rushes in there

And she’s standing up, holding onto the couch arm for support

He absolutely loses his shit, completely not ready for this at all

He quietly cheers his baby on, mumbling for her to come to daddy, just a couple little steps, she can do it

Slowly, she raises her foot, and takes a tiny little step, and then another,and another, and then she falls down

His brain literally exploded because of how proud he was of her

He describes it to you later in such vivid detail that you truly ought to have been there

Her first word is also probably daddy, which makes him just melt

You’re not even mad, just so happy and proud and relieved that they have such a bond like that

He was so worried over whether he’d be a good dad or not, and now that she’s here, he’s not only a good dad, but an AMAZING dad, literally the best father ever, probably

She’s always so sweet and soft and happy and she’s literally on both of your minds so much

Steve literally probably carries a picture of her everywhere

One in his car, one in his wallet, one in his pocket

Just so he can show her off whenever he can

He’s such a dork

And he definitely wants to have another, he starts bringing it up just after her first birthday

You laugh him off thinking it’s a joke, but he’s dead serious

“We’ll talk about it when she’s older” isn’t good enough for him, the baby fever is really hitting hard again as he looks at her newborn pictures

And eventually, you tell him to wait until she’s at least two to start trying again

Two is a good number, you thought

Just old enough to be a little independent, a little bit less attention needed, but still a baby & plus, they’ll be close in age, meaning they’ll probably be permanent best friends

From that point on, Steve is practically counting down the days until her second birthday, and absolutely will not forget what you said
