Plans change. Steve doesn’t say that out loud because it’s something Bucky knows and doesn’t need to hear. “They just want to know you’re breathing. And maybe kick your ass but that doesn’t have to happen right away. They’re all together. Their foster family is really great. Really. They’re nice to me too, and they don’t have to be.”

Becca is almost old enough to be on her own but the younger two will need to be in their care for awhile longer.

“You don’t have to provide for anyone. Not yet. When you’re a rich and famous actor or spokes model, fine. I’ll let you buy me a few cars. Until then... maybe we can work on just having a meal together instead of some big hub bub at graduation. Becca will never forgive you if you embarrass her anyway.”
