Bucky held your hand for a majority of the thirty minute drive into the country, where you hit a long stretch of woods with trees changing bright colors on either side of the road. You saw your driveway and perked up in your seat, taking a sip of your Starbucks drink that Bucky had picked up on the way. He turned into the long driveway and you felt like you were holding your breath as you waited for your cabin and all of its changes to come into view. Bucky picked up your hand and kissed your knuckles as he easily navigated the long gravel driveway. He seemed so at ease while you felt the excitement running through your veins, heightening your senses. You reached over with your spare hand and rolled down your window, letting the autumn breeze come in and whip around you.
"Are you ready for this?" Bucky asked, seeing your anticipation.
"I'm so ready" you took an intake of breath as you saw your cabin come into view. The small wooden cabin was now two stories high, and you saw the windows were larger than the last time you were here. A large industrial garbage can marred the scenic view, but one thing that remained consistent with your last visit was the long wooden porch swing that you had bought a few months previously. Bucky parked the SUV and looked at you with a twinkle in his eye.
"Wait for me" he asked softly, and got out of the car. He ran around the front, staying in your view, and came to your door and opened it up. He reached in and unbuckled you, then held out a hand expectantly for you to take and get out of the car. You turned expertly in your light blue dress and slid out of the car after taking his hand. "How about a tour?" he asked with his flirty smile.
"I think you'll be as surprised as me" you giggled as you took out your keys and headed towards the front door. You looked to the left and saw that they had brought in your dock that was out on the lake. "That's my lake" you pointed quickly.
"That's one hell of a view," Bucky grinned at you. Your hands shook as you went for the lock in the door and he put his hand in the small of your back. You were simply shaking with excitement. You finally unlocked the red wooden door, and pushed it open to see the large space of your living room, dining room, and kitchen all in front of you as you walked in. To your left was a door that you knew would be to the bathroom. All of the walls were bare and unpainted, and the electrical wires were still sticking out in some places. "Wow" Bucky looked around the large space with a grin on his face.
"I can't wait to see if they finished the bathroom" you said excitedly and went to the door on the left. You opened the door to see your large enclosed stand up shower was against the wall, and there was a large picturesque window taking up the rest of the wall where the spa-like tub laid, giving a view of the wrap-around porch, and the trees and lake beyond it. You saw the wall when you walked in was from wall to door way cupboards and counter with two sinks, all in cherry oak. The toilet was to the side of the tub, a small wall to obscure it from the outside view. You approved of the way it looked. There was a crystal teardrop chandelier hanging in the center of the room, and a large mirror behind the sinks. The flooring was a sandy brown tile that looked almost like clay.
"Wow, this looks amazing. Are you putting in some curtains?" Bucky asked, looking at the large window doubtfully.
"No one is coming up here except us. Maybe some of the team" you shrugged. "Why would I need it?"
"Because I'm a jealous man, and I don't want any wandering eyes on my dame" he pulled you in and gave you a kiss on the temple.
"I can't wait to take a bubble bath in here, and look out the window" you giggled, not bothering to respond to that. "It's going to feel like I'm taking a bath outside."
"I like how that shower looks like it can hold three people" Bucky held his arms around you, and you leaned into him some more.
"Let's go see the rest of the house" you pulled on his hand, and he let you go, but held your hand as you led him out of the bathroom. You went to the wide open space of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen cupboards were made of a golden oak with black granite counter tops. All of the flooring was wood floors in the spaces, even the kitchen at your request. You saw they had left space for the dishwasher, fridge, stove and a standup freezer. Again, this was at your own request, and they had the measurements of the furniture you had already purchased. You saw the dual sink in the center of the counter, and that you also had a small island in the center of the large kitchen.
"Your house is going to be beautiful" Bucky ran his hand over the countertop.
"It's a dream come true" you sighed happily, wrapping your arms around his center. He kissed the top of your head, and you grabbed his hand, leading him back towards where you knew the master bedroom was on the main floor. You walked past the ornate wooden stairs and opened the door, and the wooden floors seamlessly went past the threshold and you looked around the large open space that would easily hold the king sized bed you had planned for it. You looked at how windows filled three walls, and one had a window seat placed in so you could look out into the backyard. You saw under where the stairs were, was a door, and you pulled Bucky forward to open the double door and saw that you had the large walk-in closet that you had requested. You sighed happily and turned to look at him with a smile across your face.
"I take it this is your room?" he asked with a flirty smirk on his face.
"Our room" you nodded quickly.
"Let's go see where our kids are going to grow up" he chuckled and grabbed at your hand and pulled you out of the room, bringing you up the stairs. The first room was a bit smaller, but it was the one you had planned to be your at home office. "Not this room, this is for you to work I think" he looked around the room. There was no closet, but a lot of windows with natural lighting.
"You are correct" you giggled at his excitement. He brought you to the next room and it was a larger room with one large window. He walked into the center of the room and did a slow turn.
"This will make the perfect nursery" he grinned. "We can put the crib right here" he walked over to the window and gestured to the space. "And the dresser right over here" he continued pointing toward the wall.
"How many kids are we talking about?" you asked with a smile on your face. He strode towards you, grabbed you on either side of your waist and picked you up so your face was slightly above his. You put your hands on his shoulders and giggled again, biting down on your bottom lip and he looked up at you and smiled.
"How many do you think you can handle? Because I want as many as we can have" he pursed his lips and brought you down just enough so he could press his lips against yours. "These hips are meant for babies" he pulled back from the kiss.
"Well, we can always expand" you kicked your feet slightly before he set you back on the floor.
"I'll pay for an expansion" he chuckled. "Come on, I can't wait to see the rest" he pulled you out of the room excitedly. You couldn't help but match his energy as he walked into the three other rooms and started pointing out where the beds could go, and where the furniture could go in each room. You couldn't help but agree with his choices. The last bedroom you went into was a larger one, and he quickly announced that it would be a great bedroom for Steve or Sam to use when they visited, and you couldn't help but agree again. As he was gesturing to different parts of the room, pointing out where furniture could go, you went behind him and wrapped your arms around him and kissed him on the back of his shoulder lovingly.
"What colors did you pick for the bedrooms?" he asked, resting his hand on top of yours.
"White for now, I wasn't sure what to pick for the upper floors yet, except for my office" you gave him another kiss for good measure. You went to pull away, but his hand flexed on yours, telling you that he wanted you to stay put. You just leaned into him instead.
"Let me guess, moss green for the office?" he asked with a chuckle.
"How did you know?" you asked in surprise.
"It suits you" he shrugged easily and stood still for a few minutes.
"Do you want to walk around the property?" you asked softly.
"Well I do need to see where I'm putting up the white picket fence" he chuckled.
"I have a lot of land, but it would be cute to see in the front," you admitted. He let go of your hands and you pulled away. He turned quickly and gave you a swift kiss on the lips, and you reached for his hand to lead him back down the hallway and the stairs again.

You took Bucky around the property, and he held your hand the entire time. He excitedly pointed out various area's you could put a small playground for children, or have a fire pit for bonfires. He seemed as excited as you were for your new home. The more you thought about it, the more you could only see a future with him. You wanted to take all those big life steps with him. You even walked through the woods and discovered some of the smaller wildlife making their way through the trees as well. You went down and skipped rocks and sat by the lake as well, just enjoying your day.
Around supper time, you went back to the car to grab the food from the back seat and you went back into the house to sit on the floor where the dining room would be. To your surprise, it was the same meal you had on your first date from the same Greek restaurant that you preferred. Right down to the dessert even. Once you both were done eating you made your way out to the front part of the wrap around porch and sat down together to watch the sunset. Bucky pulled your legs up over his lap and rubbed his hands up and down your legs as you sat in the blissful fall evening. You made idle chit chat as you watched the sky cascade with golds, reds, pinks, and purples. The experience was Heavenly. You couldn't have picked a better anniversary date.
"How about it, doll? Are you ready to head home?" Bucky asked as the stars started to twinkle in the skies above.
"It was such a wonderful day" you cooed to him. "Thank you for sharing it with me," you sighed happily.
"I love the house. I have a feeling Tony is going to have the door changed to a steel door though" he chuckled slightly, flexing his hand on your knee.
"I wouldn't put it past him," you quickly agreed.
"The back door too" he chuckled again.
"Tony is worried, but for good reason. I messed up a bit" you sighed. "I kick myself in the ass everyday for opening that email and letting them get a lock on me"
"They shouldn't have tried to make a move on you in the first place, we are going to make them pay dearly for that mistake" he gave a smile that made him look dangerous. "I'm looking forward to getting back to missions for just that reason. I especially want to be on the mission where we bring in the doctor"
"I haven't even started looking for him yet. I wanted to, but there's so much data to go through" you sat back a little.
"You'll find him, I know it," he said with conviction.
"I just need to find out his last name, and I'll find him. He's got to have social media or something. If he doesn't, then he has to bank somewhere. I'll find him somehow" you gave a grimace. "I don't like taking that route, but I don't want him to find out his experiment worked"
"They will never know. We will keep it a secret as a team. That's why your training is so important, so you can avoid having panic attacks in public, or at least be able to control your abilities when you do have them" he promised, and mused.
"I know it's important" you bit your bottom lip. "It's just exhausting"
"You'll get better with it" Bucky pulled your legs until you slid your hips onto his lap. He gave you a quick kiss on the lips and lingered there for a moment. "You already are" he whispered as he pulled away. "Do you know how much I love and adore you?" he asked softly.
"I hope it's as much as I do you" you leaned in and kissed him softly again. He hummed into the kiss and rubbed his hands up and down your sides.
"I need to get you home, we still have the night to celebrate" he pulled back from the kiss and looked at you lovingly.
"Not too late Mister Barnes, we have a farmer's market date in the morning" you giggled.
"I wouldn't dream of missing it, future Mrs Barnes" he picked you up as he stood up.
"I never agreed to that" you flushed a bright red.
"You will be" he said with his face set in determination.
