"How is he Dr. Fredrigon?" You ask urgently as the surgeon exits from the
O.R. room. You've been sitting as close as they allowed you to the door and waiting for what seemed like ages.

The surgeon curtly nods and stops in front of you and sighs. You immediately begin to panic thinking this meant bad news. "He's stable Mrs. Barnes. No need to worry, everything went perfectly. He'll be fine, just a little exhausted from the surgery. He'll need lots of sleep, no physical activity..." he looks at you sternly, "of any kind." You blush and smile. Suddenly his paiger starts beeping as soon as you hear a huge crash in the O.R room. "I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM!" A crazed man yells...the voice strangely resembles Bucky's...

Immediately the surgeon rushes back into the room leaving alone and confused.

★★★

Finally Bucky was released and he was free for you to take home. The doctor had warned you that he might be a little
...loopy.

You waited patiently by the car as the nurses wheeled him out. You heard him before you saw him. "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABY!"

You thought it was some lunatic being transfered to the loony bin but then the doors opened and you saw your little Buck sitting very inappropriately in the wheelchair. The poor nurses were doing their best to keep him in it but he wouldn't stop flipping around in it. "BABY BABY BABY OOOOH! IM COMING TO YA, IM COMING HOME! AND I'LL MAKE LOOOOOVE TO YOU LIKE YOU WANT ME TOOOO!"

You cringe internally (and physically) as he switched between different songs trying, hence the word 'trying', to sing them to you. When you didn't say anything back he only got louder trying to draw yours (and others) attention. You waved the nurses over and walked to the little deranged man who was your husband. "Hey Buck, you feeling alright?"

Bucky immediately stops his maniac spazing and relaxes immediately, his eyes fixed dreamingly on yours. "Now that you're here precious." He says with a crooked smile. A giggle escaped your lips and you rolled your eyes.

"Alrighty handsome. Let's hit the road."

Before you could stop him he breaks into another song about hitting the road.

★★★

"Are we home?"

"No."

"How bout now?"

"No."

"...Do you think my butt looks big?"

You guffaw and look over at him. "What?!"

"Does my butt look big?" He says impatiantly.

"Why would you ask that?"

He snorts and throws a gesture towards the back seat. "Well the stupid red dwarf said so."

You look in the back seat but all you see is the Elmo sticker stuck on the back window. "Bucky...what the fu-"

"DONT!" Bucky throws his hands out to you face and waves them frantically making you swerve slightly.

"JAMES!" You scream, exasperated.

"You were about to run over that rabbit." He says quietly, looking down in his lap.

You felt bad for a moment and were about lovingly pat his leg when you remembered something. "Bucky! That rabbit was already dead! In fact it was was so dead I couldn't even tell that it was once an animal, it looked like barf!"

Bucky gasps loudly and brings a hand to his mouth. "WHAT?!"

"ITS DEAD!"

"Its such a cruel world! WHYYYY? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?" He dramatically professes, with his window now rolled down he sticks his head out as far as he can and screams WHY to every passes car.

...and that was the rest of the 45 minute car ride...

★★★

As soon as you guys got home you tried your best to get him to sleep but he would only whine and waddle away and steal something from the kitchen to eat. Finally you put down your foot and sent him to bed and unplugged the TV so he couldn't watch it.

"Drink it!"

He sucks his lips in like a little turtle and shakes his head. "Nu uh." He hums.

You shake the spoon (not too hard so the liquid won't spill) frantically in his face. "DRINK IT!"

He opens his mouth. "Why?" As quickly as possible you shoved the spoon down his throat and chuckled evily. Once he swallowed it he started to whine. "That didn't taste so bad." He whined.

"Then why are you whining?" You grin, happy you got the sleep medicine in him.

"Cause your pretty and you might run away while I sleep."

You couldn't help but laugh. "That's stupid Bucky, why would I run away from?"

"Because I'm not pretty." He pouts.

"PSH, you're gorgeous!"

He laughs. "I know I am, I just kidding." Dang, he is being such a six year old right now.

"Then what's the reason baby?"

He looks at you sadly and sighs. "Because I'm...a monster. And beauty doesn't belong with the beast."

You smile reassuringly and caress the side of his face, he gently holds your hand there and kisses it. "Of course it does Bucky. You've seen Beauty and the Beast have you? I know you have, its our favorite. And you're not a beast."

He sits there quietly for a moment and kisses your hand one more time before releasing it. "Okay. Goodnight Y/N. You're coming to sleep with me later right?"

"Yes Bucky."

"Okay good. That mission was horrendous. I got shot and stabbed, last thing I need is another night without my wifey sleeping next to me. I've missed you so much." He says tiredly. You think the loopiness is now finally beginning to wear off. You kneal next to the bed and lay your head in front of him.

"I know baby, I know. I've missed you too. We've got to talk to Nick Fury about having us do missions together or not at all."

He yawns and lays a hand on your face. "Agreed." He says with a cheeky smile. Pretry soom he closes his eyes, you lean over and gently stroke his face a place a kiss on his temple. He looked so peaceful and uoung in his sleep, it was absolutley adorable. Nothinf better than waking up to his sleeping face every day. After a moment you get up to leave the room. "Y/N?" You hear him croak as you open the door.

"Yes?"

"Thanks for watching me, and thanks for loving me. I couldn't ask for anything better." He says sleepily.

You smile, instantly forgiving all his crazy shanigans from today. "I love you Bucky, I always will."
