There's this scene I imagined that completely inspired a fic for Undertale that I call "Rainbow Family" on AO3. I plan to rewrite it because I realized I rushed the beginning (so glad I caught it early). Anyway, here's some picrews I made with that scene in mind.

The character was originally created by one of my sisters, when we came across the Grim Tales from Down Below comic. But time passed and I was thrown away by time. So she gave it to me and after a lot more time, I gave it a new design.
Jackeline Skellington is the Pumpkin King's firstborn. She is a little girl of 7 years old, studious, intelligent and curious about the world around her. But somewhat overprotected by everyone, because they fear that Oogie Boogie will take revenge against Jack by using her.
She spends her playtime with Lock, Shock and Barrel. But these games are always hidden from her parents. She has a little crush on Lock but she is too young to understand that.
I drew her with clothes that Minimandy wears, more than anything because her first designs were with those clothes. Also, in her first story she is the cousin of Grim Jr and Mini.

8 18 35 MAYAAAAAA
Thank you for asking! Maya St. Fleur is one of our older OC’s so she’s got a lot backing her up!
8: Weapon of Choice(?)
Maya is a very indirect fighter, and will mostly settle things in people’s minds. There she often uses psychic explosives to handle conflicts (inside of minds to her is like a city, it’s about demolition to the right areas!)
With her gain of psychic powers she gains a sort of psychic bomb fuse ability, which can turn anything into an energy bomb. (The spike growths on her arms can detach like deer antlers, and also mature into more old timey bomb looking bone masses. They aren’t explosive, but Maya often uses them with the psychic fuse)
18. Any special keepsakes?
At the beginning of the series? No, not really anything at all! She tossed so much of her past aside, she doesn’t even have her bomb helmet initially!
But once she learns she begins to collect more things to appreciate it. Photographs of her family back home, her helmet, and a potted plant that has the helmet of her antagonist as the pot.
35. What is she like as a friend?
Maya is very approachable!! She’s fun and charismatic, and easy to get along with. You can say she’s bombastic :P
She’s also always trying to give advice and loves helping people. She relies just a *bit* too much on the cutting ties/forgetting goal though, but she’s definitely genuine in trying and cares.

OCs DESERVE BETTER -> Tegan "TJ" Jackeline Tyler (Doctor Who) FC: Kathryn Newton
"Honestly, I don't know what I am. Half Time Lord, yeah, but am I more half human or half Bad Wolf? What even is Bad Wolf, really?"
In a universe where the TARDIS energy wasn't burning Rose up from inside and the Doctor doesn't regenerate from absorbing the energy to save her life, Rose Tyler and the Doctor get a longer time together. The result is a baby girl named after one of the Doctor's previous companions and a nod to both Jack Harkness and Rose's mum - Tegan Jackeline Tyler, or TJ. Life in the TARDIS on different adventures is all TJ has known - until cracks begin appearing in the multiverse and she accidentally falls through one. Now she finds herself navigating a universe vastly different from her own, with a Doctor very much not her other parent, trying to help fix the multiverse while finding her way back to her own.

Rainbow Family (Rewritten)
read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/53636923 by AlexWolfDragon To Jackeline, nothing matters more to her than her family. She'd fight for them, die for them. Hell, she'd even live for them. So when she's the one at fault for putting their lives on the line, she can't help the way it eats her up inside. She wants to protect them, but she's the most liable member of her family with no offensive or defensive skills to be seen. Instead, she's forced in the back, made to watch and warn them whenever an imminent threat came. Just how cruel it is that she couldn't even do that right. Jackeline began her journey happy, even if her soul felt heavy from her own internal battles. Yet as she marches on, she can feel herself toeing the line between fighting and dying. Maybe it's up to some skeletons and a couple kids to keep her spirits raised. Although, will they be enough when the barrier breaks? Or will they have to rely on some familiar faces? Follow the Rainbow: Ch.1-Ch. ?? Raging Storms: --- Double Rainbow: --- Words: 1998, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: Undertale (Video Game) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Categories: F/M, M/M, Multi Characters: Sans Ensemble (Undertale), Papyrus Ensemble (Undertale), Sans (Undertale), Papyrus (Undertale), Toriel (Undertale), Flowey (Undertale), Undyne (Undertale), Alphys (Undertale), Grillby (Undertale), Muffet (Undertale), Mettaton (Undertale) Relationships: Sans (Undertale)/Reader, Papyrus (Undertale)/Reader, Sans (Undertale)/Original Female Character(s), Papyrus (Undertale)/Original Female Character(s), Original Character/Original Character, Alphys/Undyne (Undertale) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Underswap (Undertale), Alternate Universe - Underfell (Undertale), Alternate Universe - Fellswap Gold (Undertale), Alternate Universe - Horrortale (Undertale), Mages, All seven souls, Jackeline is the main OC, Ghosts/Spirits, AU boys come later, Gotta get through the Underground first, Pacifist Route, LGBTQ+ characters, Lots of Angst, there'll be fluff too, But it won't compare sadly, Suicidal Thoughts, Depression, Major character death - Freeform, Toriel is a bit nuts, Chara is a bit snippy but still good, Sarcasm Galore, You all are NOT gonna like Mettaton, No Beta Reader We Die Like My Sanity, Resets, Kinda redesigned Encounters and Mages, Trauma, eventual gore, Fluff, There's a secret character, Light Themes, Promise the Angst isn't a constant, Frisk doesn't climb the mountain, Other Additional Tags to Be Added read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/53636923

Jacob Thompson
Jacob Tompson es el hijo Mayor de Dominic Thompson y Charlotte Ohsyde. El tiene una infancia muy buena dentro de lo que cabe, hasta que Dominic amenaza a Alan y los Kail vienen a matarlos.
Charlotte en un inicio le pide a Jacob que vaya a proteger a Jackeline mientras que ella se encargaba de los hermanos, y lo hizo, oculto a Jackeline en el closet junto con el, pero, al escuchar los disparos provenientes de la sala el sale y ve horrorizado el cuerpo de su madre muerto por lo cual sale de la casa en busca de ayuda, el niño vago y vago por corona en busca de alguien hasta que un golpe en la cabeza fue el provocante que cayera en el suelo desmayado.
Al despertad estaba el se encontraba en la oficina de alguien, pero no sabía que ese alguien no era mas ni menos que la mismísima Queen Doll, que, a pesar que no sabía nada de ella, el se encontraba hecho un saco de nervios. Lo atendieron y le preguntaron sobre su familia, pero por mas que intentara el pobre niño no recordaba nada, así que Queen Doll decide adoptarlo y criarlo.
Datos:
- El tiene la personalidad sería de su padre sin querer queriendo XD.
-Tiene sueños referente al accidente y recuerda vagamente a Charlotte refiriéndose a ella como ”La dama de ojos rojizos”.
-Tanto Jacob como Jackeline tienen un collar, pero el de Jacob tiene la foto rota justo en la cara de Dominic.
- Suele usar mascara al asaltar.
- No recuerda a nadie de su familia, salvo a Charlotte, pero como dije, lo hace vagamente.
 - El ve a Queen Doll como una madre.
Jackeline Thompson
Jackeline Thompson es la hija menor de Dominic y Charlotte. Tras el haber sido abandonada por Jacob fue cuestión de minutos empezar a llorar, algo que fue el alarmante principal para Dominic para ir tras de ella.
La niña tuvo una linda infancia, ella es feliz y alegre, sin dejar de lado que tiene una adorable personalidad que te puede hacer decir “awwww”. Aunque no todo es felicidad para ella ya que, a pesar de ser joven, varías dudas rondan por su cabeza preguntándose “¿Por qué mis amigas si tienen mama y yo no?”; ella sabe que Charlotte ya no vive, pero el ver a otros niños que conviven con sus madres la desanima un poco.
Datos:
- Le gusta ir al trabajo de su papá uwur.
- Le gusta mucho hablar y ser curiosa pero sin llegar al grado de ser molesta.
- Le gustan a las estrellas.
- Ella quiere que su padre se casi y a si tener una mamá.
- Ella admira a todos en la comisaría.

Alright how's this looking to everyone
Tumblr media
We're starting a job so we'd figured we'd do something a little exciting: An OC tournament starring my OC's!
The rules are simple: Look over the descriptions of each OC, and vote for who you personally like/vibe with best
Most of these OC's will feature from our WIP series, Thank You For Existing
We figured we had gained quite a number of new followers recently, so it'd be a nice way to introduce everyone to the many characters we've been making over the years. (This is a 32 character tournament and we have every character, first and last name, memorized. Lol :P )
We're probably not gonna start tomorrow, but possibly the day after that? Wanna put, like, a bracket in order.

(I’m answering this way so Tumblr don’t screw the qualities)
YOU ASK I SHOW YOU NOW PREPARE FOR SOME LONG ASS EXPLANATIONS
First child (adopted): Sunny Flare, element of fashion. First off, the moment I came up with her name, I didn’t remember the canon character Sunny Flare existed. I’m keeping the name because sorry but it fits my OC better. So yeah Rares and AJ adopted Sunny as a baby and raised her pretty well. She’s kinda sassy but very mature and hard-working. She helps both at the farm and the boutique and equally loves her parents and all of her little siblings.
Second child (biologic): Ginger Gold, element of sass. By the time AJ and Rares could adopt Sunny, Rares was already pregnant with Ginger, so she isn’t a lot younger than Sunny. Ginger is pretty much like Sunny, but less nice. She grows up to be kinda the bussiness mare in the family, and quite ambitious, like mum Rares. Ginger used to look up at Sunny a lot, they were like bbf. Momma, mum, Sunny and her, the perfect family, until the third child arrived, since then, Ginger started to feel like she was getting less love, and all her parents’s pride, was only directed at the new kid and the big sis. Ginger became but just a shadow of her sisters, and that made her grow kinda colder with Sunny and Autumn. Sunny feels bad because she doesn’t know what happened, or if she did something bad.
Third child (adopted) Autumn Glory, element of bites. AJ and Rares adopted Autumn as a little, kinda problematic filly who came from a not very good family. At first, she wasn’t really eager to be a part or another, stupid family, but Applejack and Rarity’s love, sympathy and effort gained Autumn’s trust and love. She’s still very unfriendly, rude and moody with almost everyone, but it’s pure facade and her family knows it and understand it. Autumn is deeply grateful of the family she has, despite she won’t openly admit it. Her and Ginger butt head like all the time.
Fourth child (biologic) Rough Diamond, element of fluff. He was born a little after Autumn’s arrival, so he grew up under her protection. Rough and Autumn have a pretty strong relationship, and as Sunny and Ginger were a duo of besties, so they are. Rough is very sweet boy, the sweetest by so far. He’s playful, curious, sensitive and kinda oblivious, sometimes. He adores to play with his sisters and help her mothers with their work, even if he’s not always useful, they appreciate a lot his efforts.
Fifth child, Gold Heart, element of generosity and sixth child, Silver Soul, element of honesty. (Both biologic) Twins, and just born by a few seconds of difference. Gold and Silver were first Rarity and Applejack’s “oops”. That’s what happens when you go in a wild party with tons of alcohol and Discord. Applejack gave birth to them, nice job out there Rares. But it was a kinda happy “oops”. Gold and Silver brought a lot of fun and trouble to the whole family, they’re like the dinamic duo who’s always planning something. Gold is the friendly and sweet one, but a dangerous prankster and liar too. So don’t let that innocent smile trick you, she’s probably up to something... Silver is kinda harsh and a little too honest for her own good. She doesn’t always measure her words so she can come off as rude when you first meet her. She’s more serious  and the voice of reason, but she always end up being dragged by her sister into her crazy plans.
Seventh and last child, Jackeline Junior aka J.J., element of dorkism. Given birth by AJ. She’s absolutely the most spoiled one of all the kids, but that’s what occurs when you happen to be the last cute child of a very, very big family, everyone just loves you! JJ is energetic, playful and always running around. She’s incredibly smart for her age, and would easily fool you to give her some sweets or gifts, she knows how to get what she wants~ but means no bad at the end. She likes jokes too and is usually dragged by Gold and Silver into their plans.
I didn’t have time to think of better bios and personalities for them, so that’s all  can write ^^”

Lieutenant - Part One: 1943
Series Masterlist | Master Masterlist
Marvel x black!OC, Bucky Barnes x black!OC Jackie wakes up to an empty bed and an unexpected visitor at her door. A visitor from not so long ago in her past. Is this the start of Jackie’s new adventure. Based off of Captain America: The First Avenger
3.7k+ Words
Featuring: Jackie Johnson, Bucky Barnes, David Wilson, Andre Wilson, Steve Rogers (mentioned) Warning: Maybe bad writing, no clue. Cursing. Mentions of cheating. Domestic abuse A/N: Finally! I have finally brought you Lieutenant, after promising for a long ass time. I got stuck somewhere. Let me know how you like it! Part two will be updated shortly after.
__________________________________
The nap Jacqueline had taken was for compensation for staying up late last night and waking up early that morning. The afternoon sun reminded her that she wasted a few hours away, but at that moment she didn’t care because Jackelin woke up to an empty bed, yet again. When she realizes the situation, she rolls onto her back, a soft sigh escaping her mouth. She knew where he was.
He was with her.
David would deny it, of course. But she saw them together a few months ago, back when she was still pregnant with their son. She saw the way he caressed her, held her hand, smiled at her… kissed her.  It tore her apart, but she did not necessarily want to go back and live with her mother as she was already dealing with much. And although David hadn’t been the ideal husband, in more ways than one, Jackie loved him.
Before she could delve deeper into her husband’s affair, as if on cue, soft whimpers erupted from the bassinet on the other side of the room. Slowly rising from the bed, Jackie sees the white bassinet, her baby’s hand peeking over the edge. She makes her way over and looks down at Andre, his eyes are open and the pacifier is laid abandoned next to his head.
“Hi baby,” Jackie brings him up and places a soft kiss on his cheek. She was absolutely in love with the small bundle in her arms. When he was born she couldn’t take her eyes off of him and she had also hoped that his birth would bring her and David closer. When it didn’t Jackie just focused her attention on Andre, letting David distance himself from the family. She didn’t understand why he would do that though, he was shipping out overseas in a few days,  fighting in a war started by people who did not care about people like them. People with melanin on their skin, big lips, and curly hair. 
Andre’s skin was still light, but she knew that soon he’d get darker. Maybe dark enough as his father. It worried Jackie; because at first she didn’t want kids, not when black boys and girls had a target on their back. But when they first got pregnant and her belly began to show, she was amazed and prepared to be the best mother she could be even when her military nursing career had just begun to take off.
With Andre in her arms, she walks out of the bedroom, rubbing his back slightly and a small sway in her step. He wasn’t a fussy baby and he preferred his mother’s touch to his father’s, but that could be because David was out almost every day of the week. She gave him a kid, she loved him, why was he doing this to her? All that mattered to Jackie, however, was the promise she had given Andre. To always be there for him, to never abandon him. With her career in the military and the war going on overseas, it made her promise seem easy to break, but she wasn’t going to let that happen.
She promised.
There’s a crib in the kitchen that Jackie puts her three month old baby in, his eyes are focused on the mobile behind her head and a small smile shows on his face. The view alone almost brings her to her knees and tears cloud her eyes. She’d only felt this type of helplessness once before, when she fell in love for the first time. 
A knock at her front door pulls her out the soft trance Andre took her in. She covers him with the blanket, pats his belly, and retreats to the door. She doesn’t bother peeking out to find out who it could be, but she just pulls her door open. Her breath is pulled out of her when she finally notices who it is.
“James?”
“We’ve known each other for years, Jackie. Call me Bucky.” 
There’s a smile on his face as he looks at her, she shivers at his look. Jackie hesitates, marveled at how handsome he looked and stunned at how a white man was standing on her porch that sat in the middle of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Nothing would happen to him, of course, but what would happen to her if the gossip started. 
“Um, come in,” she mumbles, stepping to the side. He does so, and before closing the door behind them, Jackie peers outside, noticing minimal traffic. Still someone could’ve seen. She closes the door, her hand on the knob momentarily, before she slowly turns to look at the brunette clad in a military uniform. “What are you doing here James?” She slightly distances herself, her back against the door and her hands folded in front of her. She avoids eye contact with him and he keeps looking at her, silently begging that she would look him in the eye.
Bucky and Jackie had met when they were children. It was an accident, as Jackie had ended up lost and on the wrong side of Brooklynn. She actually ran into Steve first, and the small child offered to walk her home. But those two were underdogs, a beacon for trouble. Steve, a frail and sickly child, and Jackie, a black girl in a white neighborhood. Jackie tried turning Steve down, but he wouldn’t let her walk by herself, she didn’t understand why he didn’t treat her like other whites did. They made it a block and a half before somebody decided to bother them. Steve being Steve, he tried to fight them off and that ended being horrible, but before they could harm Steve more or even lay a hand on Jackie, Bucky came to the rescue. He scared off the bullies, helped Steve get home, and walked Jackie from the white neighbourhood. 
Jackie thought she’d never see either boys again, but that didn’t happen. A relationship that was unheard of blossomed from there, the three kids weren’t stupid though, they kept it a secret. Passing notes and sweets in the alleyways, playing in the secluded parts of the park, rendezvousing at a hideout that sat inside an abandoned house after everyone in their households went to bed. As they got older it was harder to meet, but they still tried. When they hit 18, the boys went to college and Jackie began studying at a hospital training school. Jackelin grew even more distant from the boys when she left in 1941 to become a nurse for the Army Corps, a once in a lifetime achievement for a woman of her color. 
She’d been in North Carolina  serving when she met David. The two had gotten married a few months after meeting and soon after she was pregnant. Jackie had decided to come back home and stay for the duration of the pregnancy so that her mother could help during and after. She knew that eventually she had to go back to duty, it was sooner rather than later and she was dreading it. After spending countless days with her son, she didn’t want to go; but her mother was going to gain custody until she could come back. So she was going to leave New York again, and although she had been here for almost a year, she hasn’t been able to see Bucky and Steve. Or she purposefully avoided the two. They were older now and it was a lot easier for them to fit society’s standards in order to keep herself out of trouble.
“I heard you were back,” he answers, stepping a little closer. “ Got yourself married.” At that she finally looks at him and he looks like he wants some sort of explanation from her. The look makes her ashamed for some reason, but she shrugs it off.
“Yeah, I am leaving soon though. Just here to have my babe.” Her arms cross against her chest and she shrugs, still avoiding his eyes. It’s silent as he looks at her in astonishment as he hadn’t heard about the baby, she’s looking at everything but him. “Do you wanna see him?” She whispers, bringing her eyes back up to him and actually keeping them on him. 
“Sure,” he grins, following her footsteps as she makes her way back to the kitchen.
The two of them are soon looking over the babbling baby, Andre’s eyes focused on the white man in front of him, almost looking like he was studying him. “Why didn’t you come and see us?” Bucky asks and Jackie scoffs out a laugh.
“That’s unfair, James, you know I can’t do that. You, Steve, and I cannot go around acting as if the world is alright, you know I’d be suffering the consequences more than you would.” Jackie traces her eyes over the delicate features of his face, sad about the truth, but also accepting. Now that they were older and fully blossoming into society, they couldn’t act like children. Appearances mattered for men like Bucky and safety mattered to Jackie, and by default Steve would go with Bucky as well. That’s the only way the world would let it work. “I’m sorry,” Jackie whispers the apology, her hand softly patting the top of Andre’s head. 
“It’s okay,” James replies, pulling away from the crib and leaning his body against the kitchen counter. “I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were alright.”
“Yeah, I am doing alright. I’m expecting my orders soon, probably’ll be sent back down to North Caroline, treating POWs. How about you?”
“Shipping out as well,” he nods. “Two days.” 
Silence again, the sound of vehicles rumbling outside and of Andre’s soft coos. Until she remembers, “how’s Stevie!?” The nickname brings a chuckle to Bucky which then brings an immediate smile to Jackie’s. She always loved his laugh.
“He’s okay, a little bummed he can’t join. But you know Steve, he’s not gonna stop trying.” Bucky’s hands are in his pockets as he shrugs his shoulders. Jackie is now leaning on the kitchen counter as well, an arm length existing between her and Bucky’s body.
“True, I worry for him just a little bit. Maybe before I leave I will try to stop by before I go back to North Carolina.” At that a sigh of relief is released from the soldier’s lips and he runs a hand through his hair, his face beaming. The space between them was getting smaller, neither of them were sure if they were necessarily responsible.
“He does miss you.” Bucky missed her too, but he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. Their relationship was always complicated, especially when they became teenagers. But now, as they were young adults, the air around them was almost suffocating. They couldn’t act around each other like they used to.
“It’s not that I don’t miss you,” she looks up to Bucky, they are so close that they’re basically breathing into each other. “It’s just that –” Jackie is interrupted by her baby’s cries. Quickly abandoning her space beside Bucky, she scoops Andre in her arms, hurriedly trying to hush him.
Bucky looks down at the empty space Jackie left behind, breathing out and then looking up to see her softly singing to her son. Jackie looked so delicate, especially with the sunlight peering through the blinds of the windows. She looked a little sad and a lot tired, if only they were as close as they used to be then he would ask her. But he saw the way she was surprised at finding him at her doorstep and how she placed so much distance between them.
“Maybe, I should go.” Bucky speaks up, getting ready to make his way out the door. Jackie didn’t know what to say, she wanted Bucky to stay but she also wanted to take care of her baby.
“How about you sit down in the living room? He’s probably just hungry.” Jackie leads him to the living room and urges him to sit down, which he does. When she sees he’s settled she remarks a quick ‘be right back,’ and turns to take Andre back to her room to feed him. His cries continue, still audible as Jackelin walks further down into the house.
Bucky isn’t sitting in the room for more than ten minutes before the front door opens again. He abruptly stands up, understanding that a white man in a black man’s home wasn’t necessarily the norm. The man who steps through the door doesn’t notice Bucky at first, but when he does he stiffens. He faces the door to close it, trying to gain some resolve before turning around and putting a tense grin on his face.
“Sir, what can I do for you?” David says, his back straight and his arms balled at his side.
“I’m here to see –” Before he could finish his sentence Jackie walks back down the hallway, unaware that her husband had returned instead her focus was on the spit up stain Andre left on her dress.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, James.” She’s finally in the room and when her eyes land on her brooding husband’s figure, the smile slowly disintegrates off of her face. “David.” She huffs out, like she’s scared. David was intimidating and he lost his temper a lot, and sometimes Jackelin would become collateral damage.
“Honey,” he says with an apprehensive tone behind it. “I didn’t know we were having a guest over.” He turns to his wife, ignoring Bucky. The look on his face was alarming and Jackie felt like she couldn’t breathe. She opens her mouth to try to come up with some explanation as she hadn’t exactly told her husband about the relationship she had with two white boys from the other side of Brooklyn. Her eyes flicker between the two men from the same role but from  different aspects in her life. Bucky sees the panic rising in his friend’s eyes and he comes to the rescue, a smile coming up to his face.
“Actually, sir, I stopped by unannounced.” Bucky holds his hand out and David reluctantly shakes it. “I am a colleague of your wife’s, we met at Fort Bragg,” the lie rolls off of his tongue as he looks David in the eye. Jackie’s heart still hasn’t calmed down and the room still felt suffocating. “She was an excellent nurse, worked almost as well as a doctor,” David’s eyes flitted over to his wife and she tried to put a calm smile on her face but she was sure it was tense, it didn’t help that Bucky’s eyes were also on her.. As her husband turns back to  James, the latter sends a quick wink to the nurse and Jackie’s sure that she’s going to faint. He used to always do that when they were younger and it pleased him to see that he still had that effect on her. “I stopped by because I heard you two had a baby and I wanted to offer my congratulations.”
“Well thank you so much.”
“I insisted that I stay and meet you as well.” David tries to not gawk at the white soldier in front of him, but Jackie can see that he was surprised. This was unusual as hell, but Bucky was offering some sort of out for Jackie. “I’m Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment.”
“Nice to meet you, sergeant. I’m Private 1st Class David Wilson, 332nd Fighter Group, shipping out in a few days.”
“I understand, I am shipping out soon.” He pauses and takes another look at Jackie, who seems to have calmed down now. “How about you and Jackie join an old friend of mine to the Stark Expo that’s happening tomorrow night?”
“Ja–” Jackie starts but stops herself, remembering the situation she was in. “Sergeant Barnes, we don’t want to impose.” She pleads with her eyes for him to drop the invitation, but he doesn’t listen.
“I insist, it’ll be like a farewell to your husband,” ‘and to me’ ghosted at the end of the sentence while he looked at her. Jackie did owe it to him, she left New York abruptly and didn’t talk to him, or Steve, when she got back. The bond that they had built over the years did not deserve to be treated the way Jackie was.
“It’s up to you David,” Jackie pulls her eyes away from James to David, and the second man looks to be pensively thinking.
“Of course, we couldn’t deny such a gracious invitation.” His words did not match his face, he did not want to go, but he didn’t want to oppose the higher ranking white man that stood in the middle of his living room in 1940s New York.
“That’s great,” he smiles, shaking David’s hand again. He discloses the location of the expo before taking a few steps to the door. “I believe I should be on my way, my mother’s trying to hog all my time before I leave.” He chuckles a bit, but David is stiff and Jackie hides the soft smile on her face.
“Of course, Jackie will show you out.” He nods to the sergeant before walking down the hallway towards the bedroom. Silence follows momentarily, but Jackie’s movements bring a soft sound to resonate in Bucky’s ears. 
“Let me let you out, Sergeant Barnes.” 
“Of course Lieutenant Johnson.” The tone of endearment makes the black woman’s heart jump and she actually smiles at him. He follows her out to the porch, placing his cap onto his head, and they stand there for a moment, a mere moment of coexistence and nostalgia.
“That was risky, James.” Her hands are folded in front of her again and she stands next to him, their shoulders touching slightly. “But thank you.”
“Not a problem.” His feet move forward and step down two steps before he turns back. The brunette looks at Jackie’s stern face, she’s not as hectic as she was before, but the walls have slowly begun to build back up. It’s like she knew what was going to happen when she stepped back into that house. “Steve will be excited to see that you’re back. Even if it’s a short time.”
“It’ll be a proper goodbye for us.” Jackie softly says looking at him, a little sadness with peace. It had to be this way.
“I’ll see you tomorrow Jackie.” Bucky says it like a secret pact made between them, as if they are the only ones to be attending tomorrow evening.
If only.
The brunette proceeds to walk down the steps and Jackie watches him as he retreats. She stays on the stoop until he has turned the corner. Maybe she was stalling for time before stepping back into her home to face her husband or she was relishing her and Bucky’s last private moment together. Jackie slowly retreats back into her home to find her husband sitting in the spot Bucky inhabited minutes before.
Jackie ignores him, not wanting to provoke him or argue. But it’s unavoidable, especially since David noticed the obvious chemistry between his wife and the stranger.
“Didn’t know we were letting white men into our lives so freely.” He says, his body leaned forward with his forearms on his knees and his hands meddling with each other.
“He was a fellow soldier, and he was one of the nicer ones. I didn’t know he was stopping by.” She kneels in front of him. David looks at her for a moment, before ripping his hands out from her grasp. Jackie’s shocked at the action, but keeps a calm look on her face and puts her own hands in her lap.
“What would’ve happened if I hadn’t arrived?” David asks, causing an insulted look to arise on her face. She scoffs, an anger arising in her.
“Just because you want to back out on our vows and fuck anything with two legs, does not mean I will too.” The words tumble out of her mouth before she can even stop herself and the minute she’s finished, she holds her breath. Jackie can see David’s refrain dissolving and before she can defend herself, her husband’s hand is raised and a second later, a sharp sting resonates on her face. Her body lands on the floor and she cradles her cheek, tears building up in her eyes.
David says nothing, he just gets up and walks out of the house leaving his wife on the floor. Jackie has tears dripping down from the corners of her eyes as her warm cheek throbs. David’s never hit her like this before, usually there was never any evidence left behind.  Jackie lays on the floor a little bit longer. The sound of reality outside continues as she silently sobs to herself. She doesn’t rise out of her retreat until she hears Andre’s soft cries coming from the room. She wipes the tears off her face, her touch getting gentle when she reaches where David’s hand had landed. 
When she gets to her room she hides how she feels before confronting her baby. It wasn’t like he knew what had happened, but it was another one of her promises. She’d never show a weak side to her son because she had to be there for him; he came first. Always.

The rest of the day goes on. Jackie is able to finish the list of errands she made for herself when she first woke up that morning. Andre has fallen asleep, easier than any other night. It was like he knew that his mother needed a break. It’s late when David returns. Jackie can smell the faint and bitter hint of alcohol accompanied by the sweet and soft presence of the flowers in his hand. He smiles at his wife, apologies stuck in his throat but evident in his eyes. 
And she forgives him.
She takes the flowers, he gives her a kiss, and they lay beside each other in bed. No other words pass between them and Jackie wants to say something, because she knows that in the morning he probably won’t be there again. He’ll be with her.
