Sarah's POV

As I'm folding laundry on my bed, Pa walks into my room and pulls me into a long and close hug, one that tells me he will refusing to let go unless I ask him to.

"What's this for?" I ask

"I just..need this right now. To know you're here..safe..with me." he explains vaguely as he nuzzles his cheek on the top of my head

"Should I be concerned?" I ask as I drop the pants from my hand to hug him back

"I don't think so, not for any big reason." he hums

"Are we gonna go visit Kathy or Ma anytime soon?"

"I've got some ideas, certain ones are better than others."

I nod against him in reply, taking advantage of the hold we have each other in to spend the time with my father and show him that I trust him.

"But I know we'll meet again.." I start

"Some sunny day."

"Keep smiling through." I hum

"Just like, you always do.."

"Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.." we sing together

"You two are the most depressed father-daughter duo i've ever met." I hear Sam from the hallway

Pa nor I say or do anything, we stay in our own victorious world of hurt soldiers and broken hearts as a piece of his is given back to him.

"Don't give me the finger you f*cking crabby." we hear Sam again

Pa pulls away at the top, holding my shoulders away from him as he looks down at me.

"Was that you?" he asks with a judgmental look

"I had both arms around you the whole time."

"Bucky!!" Pa shouts as he tips his head back

"What?!"

"Stop flicking Sam off." Pa instructs

"He's not even supposed to be up here anyway."

"He's borrowing my shower, now leave him alone and get your own bird." Pa adds

We hear a sigh from the living room that's followed by sort cooing noises, ensuring me that my uncle is playing with our hedgehog. I feel Pa pull me back into the hug, holding me close once more and starts swaying again.

"He needs to learn his manners." Pa sighs

"I taught him what I could."

"So did Kathy."

"Is that why she curses sometimes?" I ask as I look at him

"She tries to keep it on a low level since she knows you don't like it, but yes." he confirms

"Hmm." I hum

"You comfy?" he chuckles

"Mhm, now i'm too comfy to be productive for the rest of the day."

"You need to catch up on sleep from missing it while I was gone-yes Bucky informed me on how much you missed. Especially because he's been up at abnormal hours and asleep at other unusual and concerning ones."

"Don't. wanna. move." I state

"You can late with me on the couch later, go sleep on the couch with Bucky since he's been up since yesterday morning."

"Fine." I sigh as I pull myself away from my father's warming comfort

"I'm sorry Baby, but I have a lot of paperwork to fill out and the rest of the team has to help me with it after Sam gets out of his PT session."
