Summary: Bucky, your boyfriend, is a doctor in the pediatric wing and you love to see, first hand, how well he is with his patients.

You knock on the door, entering when you hear a soft, "Come in!" When you peek inside, you immediately smile, "Hey there, Amelia! How's my favorite super star doing?"

"Alright, I guess," the nine-year old shrugs, looking a lot more tired than usual.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. Is it okay if I can listen to your heart? See how it's doing today?"

"Can I hold Nurse Bucky Bear's hand?" Amelia asks shyly.

Bucky smiles and exclaims, "Of course!" he plucks out the mini bear dressed in scrubs from his chest pocket. He hands it to Amelia and you help her sit up straighter.

"Y/N, can you hold my hand too?" Amelia asks as she stares up at you.

"You don't even have to ask," you give her a fond smile and slip your hand into her.

Bucky leans in, pressing his stethoscope to Amelia's chest and he listens to her heart beat. He moves it around her chest and then says, "Take a few deep breaths for me?" You feel her squeeze your hand when she breaths harder and she winces.

"Hm," Bucky leans back and asks, "What happened before you got here?"

"I was playing with my friends on the playground. We were seeing who can go through the jungle gym faster. I was going super fast on the monkey bars and that's when my chest started hurting."

Bucky looks to Amelia's dad and he sighs, "I've been telling her to stop running around so much."

Bucky nods and he looks back at Amelia, "You gotta listen to your dad, Amelia. Your heart isn't like everyone else's. I know you're still a kid and you want to run around, but you have to take it at a slower pace , okay?"

Amelia sighs and looks down at her lap, finger running over Nurse Bucky Bear's arm, "Okay. I'm sorry."

"We just care about you, Amelia. We don't want you getting hurt, okay?" you ask the young girl, moving some of her hair out of her face as she nods.

You then hand Bucky her chart and he scribbles some notes down, while talking to Amelia's dad, "I'm going to prescribe some medicine for her to have. Two sets, one for home and one for school. Whenever she's feeling like her heart needs some help, she can take the pills."

Amelia's dad, "Yeah. Okay. Thank you."

"Of course."

Bucky then looks back at Amelia. He digs into his pockets and pulls out a lollipop and a strip of stickers, "Don't tell anyone. I only gives these to my favorite patients."

Amelia breaks out into a grin and accepts the gifts, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We'll see you next time, hopefully, not any time soon, m'kay?" Bucky nods to you and you nod back, wrapping things up with Amelia and her dad so they can leave.

Twenty minutes later, you're in the break room, grabbing your lunch from the staff refrigerator. You then exit the room and make your way towards the hall where the doctors' offices are. When you get to Bucky's door, you knock and you hear the murmured, "Come in!"

You enter his office and he's staring at his computer. His white coat is off and his sleeves are rolled up.

"Lunch time!" At your voice, Bucky smiles and immediately exits out of the emails he was reading through. You hand Bucky the two tupperware and he takes them, immediately sticking them into his personal microwave to heat up.

He then stands, running his hands down his rounding belly, trying to make sure his shirt didn't form any wrinkles. He then took your hands and kissed them, "How's my love doing today?"

"A bit bummed out. It really sucks to see kids like Amelia not being able to enjoy being a regular kid."

"I know, lovebug. But that's why we're here, to try to make her childhood as fulfilling as possible, but also as safely as possible. But I haven't seen you in almost two days. I missed you. What have you been doing since I've been here?"

"Cleaning the apartment, doing laundry, cuddling with Alpine."

Bucky hums and moves to grab your food from the microwave. He sits back in his chair and you sit across his desk, "Sounds like you've been productive." he scarfs down the food you cooked for the both of you and you snort.

"It's to distract me from your absence. You know I hate being alone for too long."

Bucky smirks, "Anyone ever tell you you're clingy when it comes to me?"

You roll your eyes, forking some of your own food into your mouth, "Please, Buck, you're even worse!"

"Am not."

You look at him unamused, "Bucky, baby, love of my life, I fell asleep on the couch after you went to bed and I woke up to find you there with me!"

"I was cold without you."

"See! You can't even sleep without me!"

Bucky gives you a sad, exaggerated frown, "I'm just so used to your warmth. It feels weird not having you in my arms."

"Alright, Doctor Sap. Ease up, will ya?" you take your napkin and lean over the desk, wiping off some of the food from his mouth.

"Thank you, Nurse Lovebug."

"You're welcome, Doctor Sap."

You both giggle and continue to eat, enjoying each other's presence.
