Chapter Four
Wanda had to go to the hospital in order to get induced. Her blood pressure was creeping higher so the doctor thought it would be safer for her to deliver now than run the risk of the pregnancy becoming overdue.
This left the twins with Tony, Pepper and Bruce while the other Avengers were on missions. It was not too bad though as the twins did get some company in the form of Pepper and Tony's adopted son Daniel.
Only Milena was not really up for playing and kept herself on a chair with her cuddly duck. Bruce went and sat with her to see if she was okay. Milena just nodded. Her little platted blonde head looked down at her duck.
"You worried about your mom?" Bruce asked. Milena shrugged. "Your mum is a tough woman. She'll be in and out of hospital in no time."
-o-
The next night, it was war between Bruce and Milena as she sulked at the green stuff in her special food bowl. He always forgot how picky this tiny human could be. Tony observed this and thought that a Chitauri army was less difficult to stand off against than Milena Rogers.
She was sitting cross-armed, glaring and scowling. James and Daniel had been freed to go play. Milena was not playing ball with the adults, who really were just trying to help.
"You know there are kids in Africa that would be grateful to have food like this," Bruce asserted.
"Well, why don't you send it to them then?" she snapped back.
Tony snorted into his coffee. Bruce rolled his eyes and let Milena go. She went to the living room, and sat and watched James and Daniel played with Lego. Pepper looked at the little girl and sat next to her.
"You okay sweetie?"
"I want Mommy."
"She's in the hospital. She'll come home with your baby sister."
Milena wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her chin on her knees. She rocked back and forth slightly. Milena looked over at the elevator for a second and the door opened to reveal Steve and Wanda, who was holding onto a tiny pink bundle.
"Mommy!" Milena exclaimed as she ran over to her parents, closely followed by James. Steve caught Milena in his arms before she could collide with Wanda.
"Easy there sweetheart," Steve said as he kissed Milena's cheek. James had wrapped his arms around Steve's legs. "Come on you two, your baby sister is waiting to meet you."
Wanda sat down on the sofa, cradling a wrinkle-faced little girl. Milena looked at her baby sister rather intrigued, as did James.
"Okay everyone, this is Evelyn Margret Rogers," Wanda announced.
"She's pretty," James commented.
"We think so too buddy," Steve said kissing the top of his son's dark head.
Milena shuffled closer and kissed the top of Evelyn's head. If her parents had any worries about their older children rejecting their youngest, they were ceased at that moment.
