Hidden Secrets

Parts 363 & 364

*Ater a few hours, everyone leaves with the exception of Bucky and Wanda.*
SR: Now that everyone's gone, we should talk.
Y/N: What's there to talk about?
SR: I think you know.
Y/N: Oh, you mean how my own father betrayed me.
Bar: It wasn't like that.
Y/N: Then please enlighten me. Tell me your reasoning, I need to know why my father kept the location of my husband from me when he knew we needed it to bring him home.
Bar: He told me what he was planning. I knew the where but I didn't know the when.
Y/N: If you knew, then the when should've been obvious.
WM: I told him to tell you.
Y/N: Hold on. You knew too?
WM: He didn't tell me until after you left.
*You're so upset, you don't notice the blue glow coming from your hands.*
SR: Y/N...
Y/N: I'm surrounded by people I can't trust.
Bar: Y/N...
Y/N: Do you have any idea what I've been through? And the whole time you knew. We could've had him back months ago.
WM: Y/N...
Y/N: What?!
WM: Look.
*She points to your hands and you see the magic coursing through your fingers.*
Y/N: Steve...
SR: I'll take her.
*He takes Sarah from you and you try to calm yourself down.*
Bar: We're gonna go.
SR: I think that's best.
WM: If you need anything...
Y/N: Please go.
Bar: Come on, doll.
*Bucky takes Wanda's hand and leads her out the door. Steve turns to you with Sarah still sleeping in his arms.*
Y/N: I...I need a minute.
SR: I'm going to put her to bed.

*Two weeks later*
SR: Your dad called.
Y/N: That's nice.
SR: You're going to have to talk to them.
Y/N: I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to do that.
SR: After everything they've done for you...
Y/N: Lying to me. Keeping things from me...
SR: Taking care of you when you needed it. Helping with the kids. Need I go on?
Y/N:.......
SR: Call them. Meet up. Sit down and actually talk. Tell them how you feel. Just remember I asked him not to tell.
Y/N: At that time we thought you would return in five seconds. Not nine months.
SR: That's not his fault.
*You stand there looking at him. You're mad because you know he's right. He walks over and starts rubbing your arms.*
SR: If you want, I'll go with you.
*You hear Sarah crying from the other room.*
Y/N: Let me feed her. Then we'll go.
*You feed Sarah and then drive over to your dad's house. You take a deep breath before knocking. He answers and seems genuinely surprised to see you.*
Bar: Hey. I wasn't sure when I would see you again.
Y/N: A wise old man told me we should talk.
SR: Maybe we all should.
Bar: Come on in.
*You and Steve follow him to the living room.*
Bar: Let me start. You're right. I shoulc've said something. I'm sorry I didn't.
Y/N: I understand that you made Steve a promise, but you were there when Strange said we needed to know when and where he was.
Bar: I knew the where and the why. You're right about one thing. The when should've been obvious.
Y/N: He missed out on so much. Things he shuld've been here for.
Bar: I know. And if I could take it back I would. Can you forgive me?
