Unexpected (2)

sunriserose1023:

Surprise! I just couldn’t wait any longer, so I’m posting this one ahead of schedule. (LOL @ me, trying to use a schedule.)

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Here is my entry for @captain-s-rogers Marvel/Friends Challenge! I chose episode 2 from season 8, “The One With the Red Sweater.” The goal was to use Marvel characters and change one thing, and I think I managed to accomplish that. (Well, kind of. It’s not EXACTLY like the show, but I think it still works.)
WORD COUNT:  3618
WARNINGS FOR THE SERIES: THIS IS AN AU; unplanned pregnancy, language, angst, fluff, sexual content, emotional crap

The One With The Red Sweater

Christine sat at the kitchen table, a mug of steaming coffee in her hand. Pepper stood at the sink, holding her own mug, and they both looked to the door as it opened. Bucky sauntered in, dropping his keys in his pocket, walking to the table and grabbing hold of the back of the chair across from Christine.

“I did it.”

Christine raised her eyebrows and Pepper lifted her mug closer to her face. Bucky glanced from one to the other, then spoke again.

“‘Did what,’ you may ask? I called the stripper. And guess the fuck what?”

Neither woman said a word and Bucky pulled the chair back, walking and sitting in it.

“That test ain’t hers. Which means I can breathe a sigh of relief, but I can also never go around strippers ever again!”
“Oh, like you haven’t slept your way through NYC’s strippers anyway.”

Bucky pointed at Christine, who rolled her eyes and sipped her coffee. Pepper tilted her head to the side.

“Did you really think she was pregnant like ten minutes after you guys did it?”
“I don’t know how those things work!”

Christine shook her head.

“Didn’t you pay attention in biology class?”
“I slept through biology class. The kid behind me would kick my desk if I started to snore. Steve did my homework and I bullshitted my way through the tests.”

Pepper rolled her eyes and sighed.

“Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the Barnes name will not be carried on, at least for now.”
“Not that we know of, anyway.”
“You hush your mouth.”
