Bucky POV

Bucky wakes up, he lays alone on his bed. After a long restless night, of tossing and turning, he couldn't stop thinking about Mya and everything they've gone through.

Most of his nightmares were about losing her. Her and Noah dusting away. Then holding her unconscious body on the kitchen floor at Izzy. He was scared to lose her again, he didn't think he could keep going on with life if he ever lost her once more.

He couldn't stand to be away from her anymore.

He looks around and sees some of Noah's toys organized in the corner of his room. He sighs and finally gets up.

He couldn't believe he finally had what he wanted in life, kids and a wife, yet they were not there with him.

He walks to the kitchen, grabs a cup of coffee. He doesn't even bother to warm it up.

The doorbell rings, he furrows his eyebrows, no one visits him. He opens the door, "Uh. Bucky Barnes?" A man stands at the door, holding a small box. Looking down at his clipboard.

"Yes" he says.

He hands him the clipboard "Signature" he says. He takes the clipboard, signs and the man hands him the small box.

The man walks away, he closes the door, it didn't say who it was from. He opens the box.

He takes out a small heart locket, similar like the one Mya gave him before, with N.B. and M.B. His kids' initials on each side.

He opens it and sees a picture of Noah on one side and Madelyn on the other side. He smiles and sees a small note in the box.

"I thought you needed a new one. I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy birthday!
Love Mya, Noah and Madelyn ♡"

He looks up thinking, then looks at the calendar. March 10, he completely forgot it was his birthday. Leave it to Mya to remember.

His phone starts ringing on the counter, he looks at the screen sees Mya calling on a video call. He answers "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADA" Noah yells, Madelyn screams hearing her brothers excitement.

"Oh thank you" he says. "Hi, baby girl," he waves at his daughter. "I love you dada," Noah says, making him smile.

"I love you too, bud," he says. Noah giggles and runs away leaving Mya on the phone still holding Madelyn. "Hey, Happy Birthday" she smiles.

"I completely forgot it was my birthday." He admits.

"After 100 and something I would forget too" she chuckles. He shakes his head softly laughing at her comment. "I'm kidding, you look amazing for 100" she says.

He looks down shyly. "Thanks."

"Any plans?" She asks changing the subject. "You need to do something, it's not every day you turn 100 and what?" She chuckles.

He shrugs, "No, it's okay... I don't feel like doing anything"

"Hmm." She looks down at Madelyn.
"Can you believe daddy doesn't want to do anything?" She says in a baby voice, playing with her hands.

"I'll be fine, honestly, I can't remember the last time I celebrated my birthday. It's been years... Centuries actually!" He says.

"Hmmm. Alright! Well I'll let you go so you can plan something. You need to celebrate!" She smiles.

"Alright, I probably won't... but thank you anyway." He waves, she holds Madelyn's hand up waving at him with her hand, making her giggle.

"I love you baby" he says to Madelyn, Noah peeks his head. "And me dada?"
