THIEF | BUCKY BARNES

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN

FAMILY
❝And I want a cat.❞

Odessa and Bucky were back home now, which meant that Bucky wanted to go and see Yori. He wanted to tell him all about what the winter soldier did to his son.

The brunette told him that this is one that he should do alone, that Yori wouldn't want multiple people there and that she would wait in their apartment for him to return.

Bucky had agreed, he understood where the girl was coming from and went to talk to Yori alone about the things that had happened.

Odessa decided to go and check in on her siblings, who were all peacefully asleep in hers and Bucky's bed. She allowed a smile to form on her face once she saw them.

She had asked Leah to baby sit and keep and eye on them to make sure that they were being well behaved. She had just left for work when the couple arrived back home.

The door swung open and Bucky walked inside, he looked around for Odessa and instant walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around the girls waist and rested his head on her shoulder as they looked at her siblings.

"I want kids." Odessa whispered. "I don't know when, but I want them." She paused hesitatingly. "With you."

Bucky smiled, he hadn't ever wanted anything more. He hummed in response, wanting to hear more about what she wanted.

"And I want a cat." She added.

"What would you name the cat?" Bucky questioned gently, he reached forward to close the bedroom door and pulled the girl back into the living room and onto the couch.

Odessa paused for a moment, allowing the man to sit down, his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. He looked up at her, his eyes filled with hope and joy.

"Alpine." Bucky let go of a laugh. "It's cute. If we ever get a cat, that's what we're naming her."

Bucky nodded in agreement, he would do anything to make her happy. He began to trace patterns on her skin, making her physically relax into him and let go of a deep sigh.

"I want a big house with a huge garden so our kids can run around and play, have their aunt and uncles over." She whispered, resting her head against his. "I want them all to have a room, Peter too."

Odessa's heart fluttered as Bucky pressed his lips against hers, it was so soft and gentle. His hand cupped her cheek, his thumb running along it ever so slightly.

The girl pulled away, her eyes slowly fluttering open to look at the man. He had a smile on his face, he'd never been so happy in his entire life.

"I want all of that and more with you, Cherry." Bucky agreed. "But that means you're stuck with me."

"It's just you and me." Odessa whispered gently.

"Until the end of the line." Bucky finished, his lips curling upwards, making Odessa scrunch her nose up at how adorable he was.

Jeddah slowly opened the bedroom door, rubbing his eyes as he walked into the living room. Odessa turned and faced the 10 year old boy with a smile, wondering if they had woken him up.

"Hey buddy, you okay?" Bucky questioned as he noticed the boy looked like he had been crying.

"I miss mom and dad." Jeddah whispered, his voice cracking as he spoke.

Odessa sighed, she had accepted that Mr and Mrs Forest were her siblings parents now. Even though she couldn't get behind it, she understood.

"We can take you home tomorrow if you'd like." She suggested as much as it hurt her. She loved been around her siblings.

"No, I don't want to go back there. I miss our mom and dad, Dessie." Jeddah walked over to his sister and took a seat on the couch beside her. "I want them back."

The girl didn't even know if Jeddah remembered his biological parents. After all, he was only 2 when they died. He was raised by foster parents and social workers and then finally the Forests.

"You and me both." Odessa wrapped her arms around her brother, pulling him into her chest and gently swaying him.

"Can I come and live with you?" Jeddah questioned sleepily. "I don't want to go back to The Forests. I want to be with you."

Bucky smiled once he saw the way that Odessa's face lit up. She turned to look at Bucky so hopefully and he nodded. He would love to have Jeddah come and live with them, heck he'd love to have all her siblings come and live with them.

"We will see what we can do." Odessa reassured Jeddah.

Jeddah smiled and closed his eyes, he wanted to be back with his family. He whispered, "Charlie and Sav want to come back too, they're just too scared to ask."
