Work Text:
Every day you were feeling more uncomfortable. You felt like you couldn't possibly get any bigger than you were, but then again you were carrying a super soldiers baby. You waddled out into the kitchen to see Steve making breakfast while Bucky read through the newspaper. When Bucky noticed you he instantly stood up and rushed to your side, making you chuckle softly. He stood behind you and placed his arms around you, using his hands to lift your belly up a little as you sighed and rested your back against him. He smiled and nuzzled into your neck.
'Good morning, doll,' he whispered as you relaxed against him.
'Morning, is that pancakes Steve is cooking?' You asked as Bucky laughed softly and nodded.
'Sure is, baby. You want me to get you some tea?' he asked and pressed a soft kiss to your neck. He gently let go of your stomach and led you to sit down at the dining table, making sure there was a cushion for you first. While Bucky prepared some tea and the pancakes cooked, Steve walked over to kissed your forehead softly.
'You okay, darling? You look uncomfortable,' he whispered, and gently massaged your stomach.
'I am uncomfortable,' you whined as you leaned into him. He gently played with your hair.
'I know, sweetheart. You're doing so well. What do you think would help today? Maybe a swim, or a bath or we could give you a massage,' he suggested, gently massaging your scalp.
'Mmm, can I have all three?' you asked making him laugh softly.
'Of course you can. We'll go for a swim, run you a bath, give you a massage and then you can just rest and watch TV all day with us,' he said making you smile.
'That sounds amazing,' you whispered as Steve kissed you softly.
Bucky returned with a cup of tea before he stood behind you and gently started playing with your hair. You hummed and relaxed even more. 'You guys are too good to me,' you whispered making them chuckle softly.
'Babydoll, you're creating an entire person inside of you. The least we can do is make sure you're comfortable and taken care of,' he said as you looked up and smiled. They had been wonderful throughout the whole pregnancy, but they knew you weren't easy to take help, although being 8 months pregnant you'd definitely gotten better at wanting their help.
Steve placed some pancakes in front of you before he and Bucky sat down at the table as well. You began to eat and practically moaned at the taste, they knew how much you had craved sweet foods while pregant. Along with French onion soup with chocolate chips and pickles in it. But hey, they weren't going to judge.
After breakfast while Bucky cleaned up, Steve helped you get dressed into your swim suit. You whined as he tried to tie it up but it wouldn't fit considering how much your breasts had grown.
'Do you just want to go without it, love? You can just wear bottoms,' he suggested as you nodded and leaned into him, whining softly.
'Yeah,' you mumbled sadly, Steve smiled and rubbed your back. He knew your hormones were all over the place in the last month of pregnancy. After all him and Bucky had seen you cry at a can of fruit that expired. Steve took the bikini off, just leaving you in the swimming bottoms. He smiled and hugged you from behind.
'You're so beautiful, sweetheart,' he whispered making you smile softly and lean against him.
'Thank you,' you said.
Steve helped you downstairs and out to the pool area where Bucky was already shirtless and taking off the pool cover. He looked up at you in shock. You chuckled softly at the fact he still was speechless by your half naked body even whopping pregnant.
'Told you that you were beautiful,' Steve teased as Bucky rushed over to help you step into the pool. You sighed as the cool water washed over your skin. The water was a blessing when pregnant, the wage helping to take off some of the weight. You let out a breath of relief as you let your body float further into the water. Steve stood behind you, making sure you stayed afloat as you rested your head on his shoulder.
'I love you guys so much,' you whispered as they both smiled. Bucky gently rubbed your stomach as he looked down at you.
'We love you too, doll. You're so amazing to be doing all of this,' he said.
'Please, it's just pregnancy. Women do it all the time,' you said, brushing it off like always.
'Just pregnancy? Darling, you're literally making a person. I don't care if it happens a lot and that's how we're made, it's still incredible, okay?' Steve said as you glanced at him and smiled, feeling touched by his words.
'Okay fine, maybe I don't mind being treated like a goddess,' you said making them both laugh.
'Damn right, doll.'

After the pool, Bucky and Steve had prepared a bath for you.
You sank into the warm water, your body hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. Both of then sat beside the tub, gently running their hands over your skin. Steve sat behind the tub and started to pour water over your hair as you leaned back and relaxed even more. Steve washed your hair while Bucky gently washed your skin. He chuckled softly when he glanced at you, seeing you in a blissful state.
'I think we pampered her into another realm,' Bucky teased, Steve chuckled softly seeing how relaxed you were.
'Are you relaxed, sweetie?' Steve asked as you mumbled something unintelligible. Steve chuckled and continued washing your hair. 'I think that's a yes.'
Once the boys had helped you out of the tub you sat on a chair in front of the TV, watching your favourite TV show while Steve started to massage your back.
'You guys have been too good to me today,' you whispered as Bucky sat down and placed your foot on his thigh.
'Stop feeling bad about being pampered, doll,' Bucky said as you chuckled and opened your eyes, looking at him.
'You know I'm bad at letting you guys care for me,' you said as Steve leaned down and kissed the top of your head.
'We are very aware, my love. Either way we'll pin you down and pamper you,' he said making you laugh even more.
'Our kid is going to be spoilt, aren't they?'
'I'm ashamed you even have to ask, doll.'
--
You laid against Bucky on the couch as he gently caressed your stomach, both of you looking up baby names on your phone.
'Why can't we just know the sex of the baby?' you whined as Bucky chuckled softly.
'Because Steve is an old fashioned idiot that wants to know on the day,' Bucky said making you chuckle softly.
'You know they thought I was a boy until I was born?' you said as Bucky raised an eyebrow.
'Really?'
'Yeah, I was originally named Liam until they saw a vagina and quickly pivoted,' you said making Bucky laugh uncontrollably. (true story btw)
'How have I never known this? That is the best story,' he said making you laugh as well. Steve walked in and smiled softly, seeing you both laughing together.
'Are you two watching people fall off trampolines again?' he asked as you both looked up and chuckled.
'No, Y/N was just telling me they thought she was a boy until she was born. Even named her Liam,' Bucky said as you started to laugh even more, your stomach bouncing with every laugh. Steve shook his head and sat down.
'You're going to make that baby feel like they're in a washing machine,' Steve said as you continued to laugh. Steve smiled and sat down beside you, gently placing his hand on your stomach as you calmed down. The baby had been active a lot more lately, it was normal considering you were two weeks from your due date. Steve smiled as he felt the baby kick against him. 'There's the little one,' he said with love in his eyes as you watched with a smile.
'We were looking through some names, I'm still set on Lyla or Luka,' you said as they both smiled. Bucky nuzzled into your neck.
'I love those names, but I think James is good for either boy or girl,' Bucky teased making you laugh and shake your head.
'Oh sure you do.'
'We haven't really talked about the last name,' Steve said as you looked at him, realising it would be cruel to give your child three last names.
'I think the baby should have your last name, baby,' Bucky said as you smiled and place your hand on your stomach.
'I don't want to sound selfish but it might be a good idea... Media wise, might be easier for the child to have a last name that no one knows,' you suggested as they nodded.
'Yeah, that's a good idea. We don't need people asking her whole life if her parents are captain America and Winter soldier,' he said as you smiled softly.
'Only if you guys are sure,' you said as Bucky pressed a kiss to your shoulder.
'We're sure, baby. We want them to have your last name,' he said making you smile softly. You rubbed your stomach gently.
'I can't wait to meet them.'

One night while you were asleep with Bucky and Steve behind you, you were awoken when Steve moved in bed feeling somehting wet underneath him. He turned the lights on and saw a giant wet patch on the bed as he shook Bucky away.
'Buck! It's go time!' he shouted as you groaned and held your stomach.
'It's fine, we can go later,' you grumbled, still half asleep. Bucky gently started to coax you out of bed.
'Baby, your water broke. We need to get to the hospital,' he said as you let him help you stand up. You whined and leaned against him as Steve grabbed the hospital bag they packed a few weeks ago.
'Okay, got the bag. I'll call the hospital on the way,' Steve said as you waddled out of the room.
'Go get the car started, I'll get her there,' Bucky said as Steve nodded and rushed out. You groaned and looked at Bucky.
'I feel like I need to poop,' you said making him laugh.
'That's okay, there's toilets at the hospital.'
'But I hate pooping in public,' you whined making him laugh even more.
'I'll hold your hand while you poop, okay?' he teased as you chuckled and shook your head.
'I hate you,' you said making him laughed as he helped you in the car. You groaned and sat down, whining softly as you felt an odd sensation. 'Oh, God I think the contractions are starting.'
Steve got in the car and Bucky sat beside you in the back as you groaned and gripped your stomach. The pain was odd and like nothing you'd felt before. Between a bad cramp and feeling like acid was inside you. Bucky helped your hand as he watched you with worry.
'It's okay, baby. We're here, you're going to be okay,' he said as you nodded and breathed through the pain.
'Time the contractions for us, Buck,' Steve said as Bucky nodded. You told him when the contraction ended and he started a timer on his watch. 'You're doing so well, sweetheart,' Steve said. You smiled softly and nodded, squeezing Bucky's hand.
You finally made it to the hospital and the nurses got you into a wheelchair and to a private room. They helped you into a bed as you sighed and held your stomach. Steve and Bucky rushed to your side as you felt another contraction.
'Oh god, another one,' you whispered as you groaned in pain. Bucky and Steve helped you through it, talking you through the pain.
Once the contraction ended you looked at Steve.
'Did you tell the team?' you asked as he nodded.
'Yeah, I told them. They'll come and visit when they can,' he said as you smiled and nodded.
--
Eight hours had passed and you were feeling the effects. You leaned against Steve as you sobbed into his chest. He gently cradled your as the doctor checked on you.
'You're at 8cm right now, we need to get to 10cm. Not much longer,' she said as you nodded and held onto Steve. He could see another contraction starting as he held onto you.
'It's okay, I'm here. I'm right here, baby,' he whispered as you screamed out in pain. Bucky rushed in as well and held you from the other side. You sobbed as you nuzzled into him.
'It hurts,' you whispered while sobbing as Bucky kissed your forehead.
'I know, doll. I know, you're doing so well,' he whispered.
'Why can't we be seahorses!' you shouted making them both chuckle softly.
Another three hours passed and the doctor told you you were finally ready to give birth. You held tightly onto Bucky's hand as they wheeled you away to the delivery room. Once they had secured you in the delivery room Steve and Bucky stood at your head, holding your hands as you screamed.
'Alright, Y/N. You'll be ready to start pushing in a few minutes, your body will know when,' the doctor said as you nodded and squeezed the boys hands.
'That's it, baby. Just a little while longer and then we'll have our perfect baby, you're doing so amazing,' Steve whispered as he gently wiped some sweat away from your forehead.
'Alright, time to start pushing,' the doctor said as you nodded. You cried out as you began to push, feeling like your entire lower half was being cut off.
'Oh my god!' you screamed before collapsing against the bed again. The doctor counted down from ten before you pushed again, squeezing Bucky and Steve's hands so tight it would probably bruise if they weren't super soldiers.
Finallt you heard crying as your body collapsed against the bed, panting and crying. The doctor quickly wrapped the baby up as the nurses took the baby to clean them and weigh them. When they returned they handed you the baby as the nurses helped clean you up. You sobbed and looked down at the baby.
'A girl,' you whispered with a smile and Steve and Bucky looked at her with amazement.
'She's so gorgeous. Plus she's huge,' Bucky said making you chuckle. The doctor laughed softly
'Ten pounds to be exact,' the doctor said as they looked at her in shock. You whined and leaned against the bed, feeling dizzy 'Y/N, I need you to focus,' she said as your eyes began to close. One of the nurses took the baby as the boys watched in fear.
'What's going on?'
'It's okay, she's just lost a lot of blood and her body is exhausted. It's common after childbirth especially if the adrenalin doesn't kick in naturally,' the doctor explained as he attached an IV to your arm. You whined and opened your eyes again.
'Where is she?' you mumbled as Steve and Bucky sighed in relief. The nurse handed your baby back to you as you smiled and relaxed.
'Do we have a name?' the nurse asked as you smiled and looked down at her.
'I think she looks like a Lyla, what do you think?' Steve asked as you smiled even more.
'Yeah, she's definitely a Lyla,' you said, crying softly as you rocked her back and forth.
--
Eventually you were back in your private room, the baby was fast asleep in a cot beside you as you stared at her. Bucky sat beside you, gently rubbing your arm.
'I thought all babies were cute, but every baby before now looks ugly compared to her,' he said making you laugh.
'Bucky, all babies are cute! But yes ours is the cutest,' you said as he chuckled and kissed your forehead. Steve entered the room again, peeking his head in.
'Up for some visitors?' he asked as you smiled seeing Natasha and Tony enter.
'Hey, guys,' you said as Tony rushed forward and hugged you. You chuckled softly before he looked at the baby.
'Oh my god, she's so fat I love her,' he said as you all laughed.
'Don't call my baby fat,' you teased.
'I mean fat in a cute way,' he retorted as Natasha looked down at the baby.
'Listen, I'm not one for kids but that one is damn cute,' she said as you smiled. Lyla began to wake up and cry as the nurse entered and smiled.
'Definitely didn't see my dad going like this. Delivering a super soldier baby and then seeing most of the Avengers,' she said as you chuckled softly. She smiled kindly and gently picked up the baby.
'Let's try feeding her, shall we?' she said as you nodded. Nat and Tony quickly turned around as the nurse helped position the baby. Bucky and Steve sat either side of you as she began to feed.
'Does it feel weird?' Steve asked, gently rubbing your back.
'It does, but in a natural way. Like my body just knows what it's doing,' you said as they smiled and watched their child drink.
'I think she got your appetite, Buck,' Steve teased as you both chuckled softly.
'So, what's her name?' Tony asked, still turned around in the corner.
'We decided on Lyla,' you said.
Once she was done feeding you covered yourself up again and held Lyla. Nat and Tony came back and smiled.
'Tony would've been better but Lyla is pretty cute,' Tony said. 'Man, I'm gonna spoil the crap outta this kid.'
'He's not lying, he already bought like two thousands dollars worth of gifts,' Nat said as you smiled and looked at Tony.
'Trust you to spoil her even when she's only a few hours old.'
'Someone has to be the fun rich uncle!'
