“Do you guys want some ice cream?” Bucky hollered from his place on the picnic mat. The kids, who were running around and playing with their ball, suddenly stopped at the mention of ice cream.

“Yes, please! I want mango, please!”

“Strawbewwy, p’ease!”

The both of you chuckled as they continued playing.

“Alright, I’m coming with Dada because I really need to use the restroom, so please don’t wander too far!” You told them. “I’ll be quick!”

Both the kids agreed, but Nari accidentally kicked the ball too hard. They watched to see where the ball was going, not wanting to chase it and risk getting lost.

Thankfully, the ball didn’t roll too far. Only, it hit a man’s foot and they watched as he picked it up.

Niko immediately started walking towards the man to retrieve the ball, but Nari stopped him.

“Bean, no! We can’t talk to strangers!”

“But,” he pouted. “Ball …”

They held a staring contest for a few moments until Nari gave in, unable to say no to his brother’s sad face.

Niko cheered and immediately ran towards the man as Nari followed quickly.

The toddler’s excitement died down when the man suddenly looked at him, causing him to squeak out and hide behind Nari, who just caught up to him and was catching her breath.

When Nari finally calmed down, she looked up at the man with an apologetic look. “We’re sorry to bother you, mister,” she then looked at the ball in his hands. “Can we please have our ball back?”

Instead of answering, the man just dropped the ball in shock and stared at the young girl.

Confused, Nari went to pick the dropped ball up when the man suddenly knelt and held her arms. Immediately, Nari tried wriggling out of his grasp, while Niko hid behind her more, gripping her shirt tightly as his eyes welled up with tears.

“Are you–” the man choked up. “Are you really Nari?”

“Please let go!” She didn’t answer his question and tried to get away instead.

“Listen to me!” By now, both the kids were crying. “I’m your– your dad! Don’t you know me? I’m Papa Nate!”

At that, Nari froze.

“Ayi?” Niko whimpered, seeing his older sister not moving. He waited for a few moments, not listening to the man as he continued to talk.

When Nari finally snapped out of her trance, she immediately tried to get his hands off of him. “You’re not my dad!”

“Yes, I am! Listen to me! Your mom is lying to you! Whoever she tells you your dad is, he’s not, so–”

“DADA!” Niko finally screamed out, crying loudly, making his sister and the scary man to suddenly look at him.

Bucky, who was paying the vendor, snapped his head towards the direction of his voice and when he saw his kids in distress, he told the vendor to wait and immediately walked towards them.

You, only finishing your business in the bathroom, heard this as well and ran in the same direction as Bucky.

Nate’s grip went loose and Nari took this opportunity to get her and Niko as far away from the man as possible.

You and Bucky got to the kids and you both immediately started checking up on the kids, both wincing at the slight bruises that started forming on your eldest’s arms.

Once you made sure they were both okay, Bucky nodded at you and took the kids.

You smiled gratefully before standing up and facing the man, your smile dropping.

“What the fuck are you doing here, Nathaniel?” You didn’t give him the chance to answer. “Were you stalking us?”

“What? No!” He shook his head. “That’s not even the point here! You didn’t tell our kid about me?”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” You scoffed. “She’s my kid. She’s Bucky’s kid. You lost the right to even see her when you walked out of our lives that day, so no, I didn’t tell her about you.” He opened his mouth to speak, but you didn’t let him. “Don’t ever come near any of us again or I’m filing a restraining order against you. Do you understand?”

“But–”

“I said,” you interrupted loudly. “Do you understand?”

“Y-yes.”

“Good.”

And with that, you walked away, your priority now comforting your family.

It has been an hour since the incident and Nari still hasn’t uttered a word, but her bruises have been treated.

You put Niko down for a nap in your and Bucky’s room, while he and Nari were in the latter’s room, watching a movie in an attempt to get the girl’s off of what happened.

“Dada?” Nari spoke once the movie was over. Bucky hummed, so she took it as an opportunity to speak again. “Is he really my dad?”

Bucky didn’t speak at first. Nari thought he didn’t want to talk about it and was about to apologize when Bucky knelt in front of her.

“He is your dad by blood, bubba,” he started. “But I’ll always be your dada. No matter what happens, no matter what they say. I’ll be your dada for as long as you want me to be. Remember that, alright, bub?”

“Okay, dada.”

“Come give dada a hug then,” he smiled softly, making Nari smile as well as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

They didn’t let go of each other until Bucky felt her snuggle into him even more, a telltale sign of her being sleepy.

“You sleepy, bub?”

“Uh-huh.”

Bucky then laid on Nari’s bed with her still in his arms and she finally fell asleep, cuddling with the bestest dad in the world.
