Bucky was so grateful for the relationship he had with Natasha. All the history they shared and how well they knew each other made it easier for these kinds of requests. It wasn't as difficult as it had been, talking about his emotions, but this was a unique set of circumstances that led to this moment and he couldn't not be there for his sisters again. He just couldn't risk them discovering anything, not before they were meant to.
"Becca and Mallory should be home any minute," he told her, speaking of the younger two of his sisters. "It looks like Elizabeth is helping Ma with the laundry. There's a lot to be done before the funeral." Bucky tried to push past the way his voice wavered on the last word. "If I remember right, they're going to spend the rest of the night cooking for me to bring over to Steve. Ma and Pops got into a big fight over it but she set him straight." He'd understood, later, where his dad had been coming from, but Steve was family. Always had been, always would be.
