"Don't forget Bucks, we are having dinner with my family when you get back. Don't do anything stupid. I don't want to ruin the surprise." Darcy rambled into the phone. She could hear Steve and Tony laughing in the background.

Bucky sighed. They had been over this what seemed like a thousand times. After he has proposed before he left, all Darcy could talk about was the wedding and how excited she was to finally tell everyone, starting with her parents first of course. She called him every night while he was in Rome to "check in" with the mission. Bucky knew the real reason she was calling. She was nervous. This was the first time he had gone on a mission since they started dating. He usually ran around New York, doing field work with Steve while she stayed in his apartment in Stark Towers.

"I won't forget doll. How could I, it's all you've talked about for the past week." He said into the phone jokingly. He knew she was stressing and didn't want to add to it. "By the way, what would you think of if Steve, Clint, and Tony were groomsmen?"

"Sounds fine to me, I was thinking of Pepper, Natasha, and Jane as bridesmaids." After Darcy found out that The Winter Soldier would be joining the other Stark Towers residents as Steve's resident, she grew closer to Natasha. Tony had ordered all of the women to take a self-defense class just incase Bucky went into Winter Soldier mode. Natasha was deemed teacher of the class and after kicking Darcy's ass a few times too many, they became friends. Natasha admired how Darcy didn't treat Bucky as if he was going to snap any moment and treated him like a person.

Natasha couldn't help but to like Darcy. She made friends with everyone and didn't take orders from anyone. Not to mention she made the best food.

"Well time for some good news. The mission is almost over. We found the guy and should be back tomorrow night. I can't wait to see you." Bucky whispered into the phone. He knew that if he showed any acts of love towards Darcy, Tony would make fun of him for the rest of the mission and Steve would look at him like he was finally getting his best friend back again.

"Just come home in one piece and I will be fine. I can't wait to see you. I love you. Good night Bucky." Darcy shouted into the phone, knowing that Tony and Steve would hear her.

"Night doll. See you soon."

Bucky hadn't added an I love you but Darcy knew he meant it.

Laying down on their bed, she cuddled one of his shirts and feel asleep.
