Had he missed his shot, or would he be willing to risk both of his closest friendships in hopes of winning your heart?

March 10th (Bucky’s Birthday)
You stared out the window of Steve’s old room as you waited for him. The tower that housed the Avengers loomed over most of the buildings around it. As the rain began to pick up you could see the line of black cars that were waiting to take the team to the unveiling of a monument in Bucky’s honor. “Happy birthday, Buck,” you whispered as you rested your head on the cool glass of the window, your hand resting on your stomach. You were due any day now. Steve had reluctantly agreed to you going to the event after you had expressed your displeasure at his suggestion of staying home. A sudden sensation in your abdomen, caused your breath to hitch for a moment, but it disappeared as quickly as it happened – leaving you to wonder if you had simply imagined it.
“Everything okay?” Steve asked as he walked into the room.
“Yes,” you answered softly, as you grabbed your purse from his desk and turned to face him. “We should go,” you added as you attempted to walk by him.
“Wait,” he whispered softly as he grabbed your hand, causing you to turn to look at him. For the first time in months you saw the grief in his eyes that had been there during those early days in Wakanda. The regret. The pain. You instinctively reached up and caressed his face, causing the tension to melt away as he sighed before wrapping his hand around yours.
“We just need to get through today,” you answered softly as his eyes found yours.
“I love you,” he answered as he gathered you into his arms.
“I love you too.”
“I… I miss him,” he whispered, his voice strangled by the tears he refused to shed.
Okay, I’m gonna need you to stop breaking my heart so damn much with every single new chapter! Bucky is barely holding on at this point and i am just soooooo
