Soooooo, because of life being SUPER busy, I missed Days 9-11, but I don’t exactly know what I’d do for most of those days anyhowwwww, so I’m skipping them đ
But I do have something for Day 12…from my possible 5th fanfic in the Marvel Fanfic series that was originally only going to be 4 fics…but I thought of ideas for a 5th one, and this is a scene for it
(loved this scene so much đ)
Day 12: “Forehead Touching”
MCs: Bucky & Madelene
SCs (Side Characters): Branson, Mason, Charlotte, & Grace
Madelene fed Grace the final spoonful of mashed sweet potatoes. She wiped her  youngest daughterâs mouth with a napkin.
âMamaâŠI need you to read with me.â Branson whined, standing beside her, a book in hand.
Mason walked over too. âMe tooâŠâ
âBoys, I need to put Grace down for a nap, you know that. I will read with you in just a minute.â
âMamaâŠâ
Madelene pressed a finger to her lips, signaling for her oldest kids, her twin boys, to be quiet.
She lifted Grace into her arms and onto her shoulder, gently patting her back, a blanket over Madeleneâs shoulder to catch any spit-up, if Grace did so.
An ear-piercing screech sounded.
Charlotte waking from her nap.
âMama, Charlotte-!â Branson cried.
âI know, baby, I know.â
A door unlocked and opened.
Masonâs eyes widened. âDaddy!â
He and Branson rushed off to the front door.
âBoys,â Madelene almost tripped over a scattered toy; she kicked it, hard, aside, âleave your Daddy alone, heâs had a long day!â
âAh, I donât mind,â Bucky entered the kitchen, a boy on each hip, âis that Charlotte screaming?â
âI was about to tend to her. I just had to finish feeding Grace. Charlotte just now woke up. Welcome home. Iâm sorry about the boys. I tried to tell them you had a long day.â
âLooks like you did too.â Bucky mused, looking around the kitchen, which was full of dirty dishes, and glanced into the living room, which was full of scattered toys, books, and even clothes from where Madelene had been folding and also sorting through Mason and Bransonâs old clothes that no longer fit the five-year-olds.
Madelene sighed. âYou have no idea.â
She patted Graceâs back and went down the hall and into Charlotte and Graceâs room.
She went to Charlotteâs crib. She may have been two, but a crib still worked for her for now. It stopped her from escapingâŠsometimes. Madelene smiled. âItâs okay babyâŠMamaâs here.â She gently reached in and put Charlotte on her other hip, still holding Grace with one arm.
She gently set Charlotte down at the doorframe once her cries subsided. âDaddyâs home. Go get him.â
Charlotte giggled and toddled away. âDaddy, Daddy!â
Madelene let out a deep breath and settled in the rocking chair, holding Grace in her lap, keeping an arm underneath Graceâs head for protection.
She grabbed a blanket off Graceâs crip and laid it overtop of Grace.
She quietly, softly, and gently began to sing to her youngest child, singing a song she remembered her mother singing all those years ago.
Graceâs eyes slowly closed, and she drifted off to sleep.
Madelene smiled and slowly stood, gently laying Grace in her crib, making sure the blanket reached her chin.
âThat sure was a cute sight.â
Madelene placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow. âShh, quiet down. Where are the boys and Charlotte?â
âPlaying in the living room. I wanted to see you put Grace to sleep. What a beautiful sight.â Bucky let out a low chuckle. âA very beautiful sight.â
Madelene glanced at Grace, who had stirred when Bucky chuckled, but she didnât wake.
Madelene grabbed Buckyâs arm and led him out of the doorway to the bedroom, closing the door behind them. âNever wake a sleeping baby, you know that by now. Iâve had a long day. If you wake her up, I will hurt you.â
Bucky smiled and bent down a little, his lips meeting hers. âYes maâam, understood.â
Madelene let out a small breath she hadnât known sheâd been holding. âHow was work?â
âPretty normal. Didnât get fired at least.â Bucky smiled playfully, and Madelene couldnât help but smile.
âWhat about therapy?â
âFine,â Bucky shrugged, âRaynor has me trying out a few new coping mechanisms and suggested I try to stay away from anything that reminds me of memories.â
Madelene wrapped her arms around her husbandâs waist. She laid her head on his chest. ââŠI wish life were easier than this.â
She and Bucky both worked part-time. Bucky worked Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and went to court-mandated therapy three times a week on those same days. The other two days of the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Madelene worked at the childrenâs hospital while Bucky watched their youngest two, all just to make ends meet and to try to keep Charlotte and Grace at home, at least until they started school. Branson and Mason only attended kindergarten for half a day, so they had to be watched too.
Bucky gently lifted her face, his metal hand extra cold against her cheeks. âI wish so too, but then againâŠhave either of us ever had life easy?â
Madelene shook her head. âMost certainly not. But we both survived.â
Bucky smiled. âExactly.â
Their foreheads touched.
Madelene smiled. âWeâve both been in hard circumstances beforeâŠbut this time, we have a familyâŠâ
âAnd because of going through things like this before, know what weâll do this time?â
Madelene looked up into her husbandâs blue eyes. She smiled gently. âWhat?â
Foreheads still touching, Buckyâs arms wrapped around her, pulling her even closer. âWeâll survive this time too.â
Madelene stayed in her husbandâs strong, muscular arms for minutes, their foreheads still touching.
But things were oddly quiet. âThe boys and Charlotte are being really quietâŠâ
Buckyâs arms slowly released her. He listened for a moment, then nodded. âThey are.â
Madelene chuckled and grabbed her husbandâs metal hand. âCome on, letâs go check. Them being quiet canât mean anything good.â
Bucky laughed and nodded in agreement, placing a kiss to her forehead. âMost certainly not.â

So I’m behind
so I’m combining Soulmates with First Kiss into a two-part short story XD
so here is the first part,
and it’s for my favorite ship of all time Edmund and Rebecca!!!
These two are the best
and they are soulmates because their older brothers are best friends so why wouldn’t these two be together XD
Rebecca pushed her bike over to the sidewalk where Edmund was standing. This school had been terrible, but there was one good thing, the bikes. She and Edmund would go on long bike rides around the schoolâs courtyard.
âHow did it go?â Edmund asked as Rebecca approached.
âTerrible, I have to stay afterward in school for the next week, and it wasnât even my fault.â
The headmasterâs son had tried to force Rebecca to kiss him, and she replied by slapping him.
As Rebecca got closer to Edmund she saw a bruise on the side of his face. It was just starting to swell.
âWhat happened?â
Edmund shrugged, âNothing,â
Rebecca thought for a second and then looked at Edmund in shock. âYou went after him didnât you?!â
âWho?â Edmund was trying to play dumb, but Rebecca wasnât buying it.
âThe Head Masterâs son,â
âOh yeah⊠I might have,â
âSeriously?!â Rebecca sighed. âIt wonât help if weâre both in trouble,â
âI donât care, he shouldnât have done what he did,â
âI admit heâs the last person Iâd want my first kiss from,â Rebecca said with a laugh.
âWho would be the first person?â
âWouldnât you like to know,â Rebecca said with a clever grin, pedaling off on her bike.
Edmund quickly got on his bike and caught up to her. âYeah, I would,â
âItâs a secret,â Rebecca said as she lifted her arms off of her bike, soaking up the sunshine.
âHey,â Rebecca came to a halt as Peter walked in front of her bike.
âWhat do you want?!â Edmund walked up beside Rebecca. Setting his bike down.
Peter was the Headmasterâs son, a spoiled jerk. He had no respect for anyone, and he had an unhealthy crush on Rebecca.
âNothing, but uh my father wonât be too happy about this.â Peter pointed to his black eye.
Edmund sighed, he knew he should have not taken revenge into his own hands. It just made him so mad that a creep like him was allowed to walk around the school.
Peter walked over to Rebecca, putting his hands on her shoulders.
Rebeccaâs body shook with disgust. She hated him, but she couldnât afford to be kicked out of this school.
âLeave her alone!â Edmund snarled.
âItâs okay, I would never hurt a pretty girl like this,â Peter tightened his grip around Rebeccaâs shoulder.
Edmund could see the fear on Rebeccaâs face, it was a look that made Edmund want to do something, something that would get him in trouble.
âSo Rebecca, what do you say about going on a date with me?â Peter asked leaning his head into Rebeccaâs face.
âI say no!â Rebecca tried to loosen his grip but was struggling.
âOh come on, I know you love me, so what do you say?â
Edmund clutched his fists and walked over to Peter, punching him to the ground.
âShe said no!â
Peter looked up at Edmund who had his arm around Rebecca.
âWait until my father hears about this!â Peter ran off but had a clever smile on his face.
âEdmund! You could get kicked out!â Rebeccaâs face filled with worry.
âI donât care, Iâd risk anything for you, youâre my best friend.â Edmund looked into Rebeccaâs blue eyes.
A smile went across Rebeccaâs face as if she had just thought of something funny.
âWhat is it?â Edmund knew Rebecca had something on her mind.
âNothing,â
Edmund looked at his watch and sighed. âI have to head to class, Meet you here after school?â
âYeah,â Rebecca watched as Edmund rode off, and her smile grew even bigger.
The answer is you,
Youâre the one I want to have my first kiss with,Â
Itâs always been you,Â
Do me a favorâŠ. Tell Cress I meant it
