He had been indirectly informed that he was having twins, but that wasn't what worried him. What worried him was their size - they were big, too big. Maybe it was the fucked up genes Hydra had combined with them. Either way, Bucky had overheard some of the concern certain Hydra officials had with him giving birth. He'd never done a c-section before. Took too long to heal. Hydra always made him go the natural way, but Bucky wasn't so sure he'd be able to push two oversized babies out this time. He was tired from running and it really wasn't a surprise when they'd caught up to him in Russia. What had taken him by surprise was the torture they put him through as he was so heavily carrying. It wasn't good for him and it couldn't be good for their little experiments he was lugging around.

He didn't know Steve had been informed to come to the base, and as he sat half awake in one of the cells, just dreading the moment one of the Hydra individuals would make their face known, he wondered if maybe leaving Steve and the hotel that day had been a stupid idea on his part. His back was scarred from freshly made whippings, and certain parts of his face were beginning to bruise. He wasn't sure how much more he could take but he wasn't giving in now.
