Dress fitting

                                    

                                          
Getting out of the car, Fury waited for everyone to be on the sidewalk before he locked the car doors.  
"Are you ready for this?" He looked at you curiously.  
"Born ready, pops" you gave a wink, and he opened the door for all the girls to walk in first.  You treated this like a mission, and walked with confidence as you entered the bridal shop.  The girls and your dad quickly behind you.  You tilted your chin up and looked around curiously seeing all the wedding dresses, but you had already decided on what you wanted.  
"May I help you?" one of the associates came over, and took you in.  You noticed their eyes rested on your stomach for a moment and you forced yourself not to blush.  
"We are your six o'clock" Pepper spoke up confidently.  
"My apologies" they hurried to the door and put up the closed sign, and locked the door.  
"Which one is the bride?" their eyes rested on each of the women in the room.  
"That would be me" you stepped forward with a confidence you knew your father was proud of you.  You were so unsure about all of this, but knew it needed to be done.  You could fake confidence at the best of times, it was how you were raised.  You let your softer side show around the team.  
"The wedding dress isn't quite done yet, we just need to check the measurements" the store associate gestured for you to follow them, and you started to feel like it was hard to breathe.  You followed them to a changing room and they led you in.  You saw the satin part of your dress waiting, but no lace, which was what made the dress.  You dutifully got undressed and put on the dress that was done so far.  You looked in the mirror and felt tears brimming in your eyes and started to feel your breath getting stuck in your throat.  You walked out and saw the seamstress were ready with pins and some of the powder blue lace in the main room.  
"It's not ready at all, you should have said" Pepper admonished the room as you came into the center of the room and got up on the stand like they wanted you to.  
"For such a special order, it takes a little more time" the seamstress looked at Pepper and advised her quickly.  "We needed her here to make sure the lace would sit correctly, to match the photo" she started pinning the dress to tighten it in certain places that were a bit baggy.  Fury came over to stand in front of you and looked up to see tears of worry in your eyes and he reached out for your hand.  
"Did you need a cupcake, pumpkin?  I'll go buy you one" he offered softly.  
"I can't marry Bucky if the dress is like this" you felt a tear escape and he looked heart broken.  You didn't like to cry, especially in front of your dad.  "We need to call off the wedding" you added in a broken voice.  
"No, there's no calling off the wedding" Fury shook his head.  "This is one of those hormone moments isn't it?" he looked at Maria who bit her bottom lip and shrugged a bit.  
"Call Loki" Wanda spoke up.  
"No, he's getting his suit" you shook your head.  
"Trust me, he will help" Maria looked at your father.  
"I'm calling Loki, and I'll make sure he only comes after he's fitted in his suit" Fury stood back and took out his phone.  He left the room quickly and you tried to stand still while they pinned more of the lace to you.  You sighed heavily, thinking that you would have to wear one of your maternity dresses instead, because by the looks of it, the dress would never be ready on time.  
"You are going to make a stunning bride, and it will be in this dress.  They will get it done" Wanda tried to soothe you.  
"Can you guys try on your dresses while they work on me?" you looked at the girls.  
"Come on ladies, one at a time" the store associate clapped her hands, seeing that you were trying to deal with this in your own way.  "I want Maria first" she read the name off a piece of paper.  
"Coming.  Don't have a mental breakdown without me" Maria warned you and followed the associate into the back.  You started thinking back to the first moment that you had met Bucky again.  He had that smile on his face that you had been addicted to ever since.  You remembered the first kiss in the laundry room.  You couldn't believe how far everything had come.  You felt the pit of anxiety hit you again as you thought about how you were wearing a half put together wedding dress, and your wedding was just in a few days.  Your lips trembled as you tried to keep your focus on showing confidence.  Your dad came back and stood in front of you, blocking your view of what you looked like in the mirror.  
"It's okay pumpkin" he reached over and pulled on your hand to rub the pads of his thumbs on the back of your hand.  "You're going to be the most beautiful bride" 
"My dress isn't going to be ready daddy" you pouted, and felt the tears start to fall down your face.  
"Have a little Faith, isn't that what you used to tell me all the time.  Especially when they started sending you on longer missions" he reminded you.  You heard a giggle and Maria came out in a dark blue dress that was tight along the top and fell loosely below her chest, flowing out looking almost like a blooming flower.   She had the empire waist, the same as you, and a deep V in the neck.  
"Oh Maria, you look beautiful" you cooed, forgetting your own misfortune for a moment.  
"I think Sam is going to shit his pants, he loves my boobs" Maria went to look in the mirror and smiled proudly.  
"He spent a lot of time looking at that ass too" you giggled.  
"It fits like a dream, and the best part is I can wear this on a date after the wedding" Maria did a turn.  
"That was the hope.  You need at least a few good dresses" you gave a small smile.  You jumped as you felt a needle barely graze your skin as they continued to try to add the lace that would go over the train to your dress.  
"All my girls are going to be beautiful" Fury looked around the room.  "All of you are my girls now" he added with a smirk.  You gave a small smile as Maria left to go get changed back into her clothes, and Wanda was next to go try on her dress.  You started fidgeting again but your dad reached up and took one of your hands, putting a soothing motion into the palm of your hand.  
"Daddy, I'm worried" you finally whispered. 
"It's okay Pumpkin, Loki is going to be here shortly" he reassured you.  
"I want my Bucky" you gazed into his eye.  
"He's not seeing you in that dress until Saturday.  We don't need no bad luck pumpkin" he shook his head.  
"We are here for you" Pepper reminded you.  
"Thank you, I know.  I just keep having anxiety over all of this" you admitted softly.  "Daddy, can you go get me a mint tea?" you started fidgeting again.  
"Let me get it" Nat walked over to the beverage bar and started making tea for you.  She brought it over on a porcelain cup with a saucer, sweetened with a little bit of honey.  You reached out with shaking hands and took the tea.  
"Thank you" you gave Nat a grateful smile.  
"The lace is really adding to the dress.  You'll be perfect" she smiled softly and took a step back.  Wanda came out a moment later in an identical dress to Maria, but saw that it was a bit baggy under her arms and frowned.  You sipped your tea, and saw Wanda frown in the mirror.  
"Let me take care of that" another seamstress came over and brought Wanda up onto a stool beside you.  
"These are just little hiccups, don't worry" Wanda gave a comforting smile and you nodded while taking another sip of your tea.  "It will all be straightened out before we leave" she gave a serene smile.  
"It's going to be a beautiful wedding with you ladies" Fury promised, taking a seat beside Maria who was just sitting back and watching.  
"The dressing rooms are ready for you both now" the store associate came back out and led Pepper as well as Nat into the back.  You held your breath, and waited for them to come out.  Their dresses fit them perfectly and they modeled it in the mirror while you cooed to them.  You finished your tea, and the store associate took the cup and put it on the table in case you wanted another one, and you tried not to fidget as you stood there.  Wanda was taking a few minutes for them to fix her dress.  They sent her back into the back while they made the last of the changes and got her to try on the dress again, and it fit exactly the way it was meant to.  You sighed happily that at least something was going right.  You started thinking the cream maternity dress would suffice if needed.  
"None of that, you are wearing that dress" Wanda perked up, having taken a seat in her street clothes again.  The four dresses were up at the cash register, and waiting for the appointment to be finished to be paid for.  You knew your dad showed up specifically to make sure he was paying for the dresses.  You were getting tired quickly and sighed a few times, and Fury looked at you worriedly.
