[ He was going home, and a part of Steve was mortally afraid that Bucky would leave him and never come back -- he had heard tales of selkies who slipped back into the sea and never returned, and even though a lot of them had dealt with selkies being cheated into coming onto land (which Steve had never done for Bucky), the fear still stood.
Still, he hadn't thought twice. His mate was giving birth and this was the only thing to do. He picked him up, gripping him tightly and pressing a kiss to his forehead before he practically sprinted to the shore with his very pregnant mate in his arms, waded into the cold sea water with him until it reached just above his chest before he released Bucky.
He would let him go anyway, because he trusted him, he trusted in the promises; Bucky would come back to him. ] Go.
