Bucky Barnes Imagines

Super Mom (Part 3)

A/N: So here's the third part that you've requested. I hope it was worth the wait! Tell me if you want a part four.

Warning(s): some talk about "the birds and the bees"

The day had come. It was Caden's fourth birthday.

To say you were a bit emotional was an understatement. Although he was still very young, you couldn't help but feel like he was growing up too fast. It felt like just the previous day you had given birth to your beautiful son and held him in your arms for the first time.

You hadn't planned a big party. Few of Caden's friends, and their parents, were coming over. Later on you would visit the Avengers. You just didn't want the other kids to swoon over your team mates. They were used to seeing you but if Thor showed up, for example, they'd lose their minds. You wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Caden was sitting on the couch in your living room, fidgeting in excitement with his party hat on as he waited for his quests to arrive.

You, yourself, were in the bathroom, checking to see if your makeup was okay and if your hair was still neatly done. This was one of the few times you actually put in a lot of effort to look nice. It was Caden's birthday and your day off, so no need to wear your workout clothes or zipping up your catsuit and fly off to who knows where. No missions, no training. Just some time off.

As the door bell rang you looked at Caden from the reflection of the mirror, seeing him jump up from the couch and run to the door. You quickly followed behind. You opened the door and let the quests in. You welcomed them to your home and exchanged some words with the parents as the kids went off to play together.

After a few minutes the other invitees arrived and you mentally prepared for the dreaded discussion about your single life with the other parents. You were the only single parent in the group. The parents of Caden's friends were all happily together, been married for several years.

You let out a long exhale as you neared the kitchen where the other parents were drinking their coffee. You passed the living room and heard Caden call out for you. "Mommy! Come tell us a story."

You shrugged, Better than answering questions about my love life, you thought to yourself. You really dreaded those conversations. Questions being shot at you after another, it made you feel uneasy. They were way too invested in your love life. "Sure, sweetie." You smiled.

All the kids were sitting on the floor in a circle, playing with their toys and you sat down next to Caden, who snuggled up closer to you. "What kind of story do you want to hear?"

"Avengers story!" One of the kids called. You chuckled and started telling them a story about one of your missions. Nothing too violent, though. They were still very young...

When you were done, you bowed as the kids clapped. "Thank you," you smiled. "I'll leave you kids to play now." You said and kissed the top of Caden's head before continuing your way to the kitchen. Here we go, you thought to yourself and sighed.

You heard laughter coming from the kitchen as you neared it, chattering filled the not so roomy kitchen. "Oh, Y/N! Looks like the kids kept you busy. Sorry about that, the kids just really love to hear those heroic stories."

"Oh don't worry about it. I love telling them." You assured and poured a cup of coffee for yourself. "So what's up?"

"Oh, we were just talking about Rick and Gina. Their tenth wedding anniversary is coming up!"

"Ten years of marriage... Congratulations."

"Thank you." Said Gina.

"Ten years of being married, thirteen years of being together, still can't get enough of this woman." Rick smiled widely and snug an arm around Gina's waist, pulling her for a quick kiss.
