"I'm not exactly professing endless love here either, Bucky. We get along and I figure even if we don't work out or get more serious, we're friends and can be smart about it." Lilly wasn't asking for forever or even implying he wanted that. They were super casual before this, that was a bit much to assume all at once. "Hell, maybe we'll just be friends raising a kid, and that'll be cool. But whatever happens, I'm not a deadbeat dad. I don't walk out on family." He lost all his family by coming there, and only death was on the other side. So it mattered.
