Complicated

Part 42 - Pregnancy

"What about the others?" You ask. "They've been on the run. I don't know where they are." He says picking up some arrows on the grass.

"You haven't heard from them at all?" You are desperately hoping he has been in contact with them, or at least Nat.

"Not since we turned ourselves in." He says.

"And you don't think we can find them?" You ask. He furrows his eyebrows "They don't want to be found. We're talking about Nat and Steve, it's going to be hard to track them." He explains "I don't know, I don't want to put my family in danger again" he says. You look down and feel your eyes fill with tears.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just wish I knew where they were." You sniffle.

"Why do you want to find them? For Tony?" He asks. You shake your head "No" you put your hand on your tummy.

"I'm looking for my baby's dad. That's all" you admit.

His eyes widen. "Steve? I thought you two-"

"No, not Steve" you chuckle.

He raises his eyebrow "Sam? Bucky?"

You smile and nod. "Um, Bucky. He has no idea though. I just thought maybe you'd have a lead."

"Ohh I see. Well I didn't see him. Only Steve, Sam and Nat." He says, you furrow your eyebrows, "Bucky wasn't with them?" You ask. He shakes his head.
That's strange, where could he be? You asks yourself.

"Is that why you're going behind Tony's back?" He asks.

You nod. "Yeah, my dad doesn't know about Bucky. I'd like to keep it that way" you look up at him.

"I don't think we're on speaking terms at the moment, but don't worry, my lips are sealed" he pretends to zip and locks his lips. He walks towards you and gives you a hug. "I'm so sorry kid, this is a tough situation. If I knew where they were I'd tell you, but I have no idea."

"Yeah, I didn't want to do this alone." You lay on his shoulder. "I know, but we're for you if you need us" he says.
"Now, come on let's eat" he adds, bringing you to the kitchen with Laura and the kids.

You spend most of the day with them, then head back to the compound.

You're laying in bed and get a call from Tony. "Where did you go?" He asks as soon as you pick up. "Uh, visit a friend" you say. "Hmmm"

"I know you have a tracker on me, why are you asking" you roll your eyes. "I do not."

"Mh-hm. Anyway I'm back at the compound. Don't worry" you say

"I always worry!" He says.
"Alright, I love you hon. See you soon" he adds. You know he only called because he found out you left.

"I love you dad. See you" you hang up.

——————

As time passes, you continue to call Steve and Bucky, and sometimes Sam, Nat and Wanda. Even though you know they won't pick up you still try hoping maybe you'll hear their voice. Of course, same message for all, "Number you dialed is disconnected"

The next couple of months you continue searching for them, although not as often, you're starting to lose hope. You know if they wanted to find you, they would've tried already. It started to feel like you wanted to find them more than they wanted to find you. Did they even want to find you?

Your tummy keeps getting bigger to the point where it's hard to walk or sleep. Some nights you stay up talking to Lily, she gives you pregnancy and baby tips while she feeds or tries to put baby Luna to bed. You still haven't met baby Luna only seen her on video call. She's the cutest, she reminds you so much of Pietro. She has her dad's white hair and blue eyes.
