'As good as you remember?' You ask Bucky softly as he eats his fourth blueberry muffin before you put another onto his plate.

'Save some for the rest of us, would you?' Steve asks and Bucky shakes his head. 'I've been deprived!'

You giggle a little, you knew Bucky was trying to cover up the fact that what he went through was traumatic with some light hearted humour but you couldn't help but let a tear well up in your eye. Leaning over and pressing a kiss to Bucky's forehead.

'I'll cook and bake for you whenever you want. You know that' You smile sweetly and Bucky smiles back. He knew that you could see straight through him but you wasn't pressuring him to talk.

'Is there a bun in the oven I should know about?' Tony enters the room and you see Steve immediately tense. Bucky stops eating at the sight of Tony. Suddenly losing his appetite and you spin around to face Tony.

'Not now Stark'

'This is reason to celebrate!' Tony cheers and you shake your head.

Tony frowns and then notice's Steve. 'Seriously Rogers? You're unhappy?'

'I'm NOT unhappy I'm....'

Steve couldn't finish his sentence and you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed in dread before the nausea hits. You dart out of the room and to the nearest toilet to throw up.

The three men hear you from the kitchen and Bucky stands up.

'I'll go'

'No. It should be me' Steve sighs.

'You could try and act a BIT more supportive of your fiancé' Tony rolls his eyes and Steve jumps up, getting into Tony's face.

'Give me relationship advice once more Stark and I'll knock you down so hard you'll end up back in the 40's with your father!'

'Steve!' Bucky now shouts. Coming to pull Steve away from Tony.

'Wow. Real macho of you' You say weakly as you come back to the room.

'Daisy? You alright?'

'Fine Buck. Thanks. At least SOMEONE cares'

'You think I don't care?' Steve asks sadly and you shrug. 'Could have fooled me, now Bucky. What's next on the list of foods you're desperate to eat again?'

'No. No that can wait I..'

'Lasagna it is!' You call out and begin getting to work in the kitchen, chopping onions and browning off the beef.

Bucky looks at Steve and mouths 'sorry' but Steve shakes it head. 'I'm sorry' Steve mouths back and Tony moves away from Steve and heads next to you, coming to your side.

'Why is Barnes avoiding eye contact with me like I've got the plague?' Tony whispers and you look over at Bucky who was watching you talking to Tony sheepishly.

'Maybe you have' You smirk a little and Tony nudges you, making you nudge him back.

When you look again Steve was staring at Tony with rage. Bucky with fear.

'I honestly don't know Tony but...he's been through a lot so just go easy on him, no...Starkisms'

'Starkisms?'

'You know. Sarcastic, pain in the ass, comeback for everything and horrific ego....Starkisms'

Tony frowns but smiles a little. 'Cute. I'll try my best'

'Wow. I get pregnant and you turn soft? What a world we're living in'

'Has it only been a week since you arrived? Feels like a lifetime'

'Bet you regret taking us out the ice now, huh?' You say playfully but laugh anxiously.

Tony puts a hand on your shoulder. Stopping you from scooping the tomato base into a casserole dish.

'Not even for a minute. It's my greatest achievement' Tony says sincerely and you nod before pulling him into a quick but tight hug.

'Thankyou. Again'

Tony smiles before making his way to the table opposite Steve and Barnes.

'Rogers. You might want to...' Tony gestures to you and Steve goes to say something but bites his tongue. Tony was right. He stands up and walks over to the counter and begins trying his best at making small talk. Leaving just Tony and Bucky sat awkwardly at the table.

'My father would have been so relieved to know that you were alive, he spend decades trying to figure out what happened to you'

Bucky hangs his head down in shame and Tony takes a deep breath. 'I know you killed him'

Bucky's eyes widen and he looks up at Tony, waiting for something, a fight, a punch, verbal abuse, blame. Anything. But there was nothing.

'I also know it wasn't you' Tony says sympathetically and Bucky loses it. He begins to sob uncontrollably which gets yours and Steve's attention. You both run over to Bucky's side.

'WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?!' Steve asks aggressively and Tony stands up. Making his way over to all of you.

'Nothing that wasn't true'

Bucky stands up as you and Steve exchange a worried glance.

Tony extends a hand and Bucky shakes his head. 'I...I can't...'

Tony sighs. Reaching out and grabbing Bucky's METAL hand and shaking it. Making it known that he was scared, and Bucky shouldn't be either.

'Thankyou for your service Sergeant Barnes'

The tears keep flowing and Bucky stares at Tony shellshocked.

Tony goes to leave the room but not before calling out 'LET ME KNOW WHEN THE LASAGNE IS READY!'

Once Tony is out of sight you and Steve turn back to Bucky.

'Buck? What did he say?!'

'He forgave me...' Bucky whispered.

'Forgave you?' Steve asks puzzled

'I killed Howard as the winter soldier' Bucky mumbles. Waiting for you and Steve to react. But neither of you do. Instead you take one of his hands and Steve takes the other.

'He would know that it wasn't you' You say gently.

Bucky nods and sniffles and you give his hand a little squeeze. 'Lasagne will be twenty minutes. Why don't you go take a shower?'

Bucky mumbles 'okay' and leaves the kitchen.

'Should I go with him?' Steve asks concerned.

'I don't think so. Just give him time to freshen up'

'Daisy'

'Steve'

'I...' Steve sighs. 'I'm sorry for how I reacted'

You shake your head and let out an exhale. 'You should be allowed to feel however you want. If you don't want this baby then...'

'Don't want it?! Daisy I'm already so in love with you and the little guy that I...'

'Little guy?! You think it's a boy?'

Steve starts to stutter as he realises what he just said.

'Little guy...' He says again. Placing a hand on your stomach.
