AN: Enjoy!

Wanda had to work in the morning on the day Viv's school was holding the Teddy Bear's picnic. However, the picnic itself was not until the afternoon, so while she would be a few minutes late, she didn't have to miss the event.

Wanda simply asked Mantis to come in a little early to relieve her, which gave her enough time to shower, change, and head up to Viv's school.

It felt rather strange, walking through the School gates on her own. Wanda had always been accompanied by Vision before, a parent with a legitimate reason to be there. She half expected to be stopped as she entered the grounds alone, but Viv caught sight of her almost immediately, calling and waving to her from her spot on one of many picnic rugs set up near the playground, most occupied by other children, Mothers, and various soft toys. There was also a table with a small spread of picnic treats.

"Wanda! Wanda, over here!"

Wanda grinned, relieved, and hurried over to Viv.

"Hello, Fata dulce" She smiled, then glanced at the toy raccoon propped on the rug behind her. "Hello, Racheta. Thank you both for inviting me to your picnic."

"Cu placere" Viv replied, using some of the Sokovian language that Wanda had taught her. "That means 'You're welcome', doesn't it?"

"It does" Wanda nodded, a sparkle of pride in her eyes. "Your Sokovian is getting very good."

"Thank you.. Are you hungry Wanda?" Viv pulled her over to the table, handing her a paper plate. "The teachers said everybody can help themselves!"

"I suppose I am a little flamand.. peckish" Wanda chuckled. She loaded a few things onto her plate and returned to sit on the picnic blanket with Viv, but not without noticing that something was slightly amiss. "Where is your Daddy, Vivian?"

"Oh" Viv pointed, "He's over there, talking to Miles's Mommy."

Wanda's eyes followed the direction Viv was pointing and, sure enough, there was Vision, talking to a rather beautiful Latina Woman. Viv was saying something else to Wanda now, but she was no longer entirely listening, suddenly quite distracted by Vision's conversation.

Vision and the woman were chatting animatedly. He seemed.. He seemed happy about something, very happy. And Wanda.. well, Wanda couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous. And maybe, a little bit worried.

Because, in that moment, it didn't matter that Wanda knew Miles's Mother was already married, that she had seen her once before, attending the School's favourite person day alongside her husband, Miles's Father.

It didn't matter, because a little part of Wanda was still waiting for the other shoe to drop.. Waiting for the day that Vision would realise that she wasn't good for him, and he deserved better.

"Wanda" Viv frowned, waving a little hand in front of her face. "Wanda, are you listening?"

"Oh, yes.. That's nice, Fata dulce.." Wanda's attention was still on Vision. A lump formed in her throat.

He hugged the other woman, and something inside Wanda growled, but then he came bouncing back over to where Wanda sat with Viv, happily flopping beside them and kissing Wanda's cheek.

"Hello, you made it!"

"Well, I did say I was coming" Wanda replied, sounding maybe a little sulky. "Who were you talking to?"

"I already told you that" Viv muttered under her breath, annoyed.

"Oh.. Um, that was Rio" said Vision, a bit taken aback by Wanda's tone. "One of the other School Mums.. Are you alright, Wanda? Did something happen at work?"

"No.." Wanda bit into a cookie. "Not at all.. it seemed like you were having a nice conversation."

"We were, I.."

"That's good" Wanda cut him off. "That's great.."

Poor Vision was left very confused. They didn't speak much more for the rest of the picnic, and Wanda left before he could give her a proper kiss goodbye.

By that night, Wanda had begun to regret her actions. Vision was allowed to talk to other women, to hug other women. It didn't mean he was planning to leave her. She groaned, annoyed with herself for having let the very worst parts of her imagination run away with her.

She was about to call Vision and apologise for her behaviour, when there was a knock at the door of her apartment. Confused, Wanda got up to answer it, and was surprised to find Vision on the other side, clutching a bunch of flowers.

"Vizh.."

"Hello. May I come in?"

"Sure.." Wanda stepped aside to let Vision in, shutting the door behind him. Glanced at the clock. "Where's Viv?"

"I left her with Natasha for the night.."

"Oh.. I was just about to call you and.."

"I wanted to explain.."

"Vizh, you don't have to explain anything" Wanda sighed, "You haven't done anything wrong, I was just being stupid and.."

"Jealous" Vision interrupted, smirking a little, and Wanda blushed. "I know.. I caught on to that a little later than I should have. And I know I don't have to explain anything, but I'd like to anyway, if you'll let me."

"Okay.."

"Rio Morales works in travel.. specifically weekend holiday packages" Vision began. "I was thinking that you and I could take a weekend away for my Birthday. She helped me get a good deal."

"Oh.." Wanda was beginning to feel like the stupidest person in the universe.

"Rio's also going to take Vivian for the weekend while we are away. Viv's quite excited about it, apparently she and little Miles have hit it off. She says she tried to tell you about it, but she doesn't think you were listening.. She's a little annoyed, you might have to make it up to her.

"Of course.." Wanda wished the ground would open up and swallow her. "Vizh, I'm so sorry.."

"You don't have to be sorry.." Vision pulled Wanda close to kiss her forehead, while trying not to crush the flowers.

"But.."

"What you and I have.. It.. It's new to both of us. There are sure to be hiccups now and then.."

"I suppose.." Wanda frowned.

"But.. There is something I would like to show you, if you wouldn't mind coming home with me" Vision continued. "I know it's late, so you can bring some things and stay the night if you like, although if you'd rather not I understand.."

"No, I'll come" said Wanda quickly. "Just give me a minute.."

Standing in Vision's room a short time later, Wanda found herself a little confused.

"An empty drawer."

"Mmhm."

"Vizh, you can't seriously have brought me here just to show me an empty drawer."

"Well, it's not just an empty drawer" Vision explained. "Now it is your drawer."

"My drawer?" Wanda frowned.

"Yes. You stay over nearly every weekend, so I thought you might like to keep a few things here. And I wanted to show you, because.."

"Because what?"

"Sometimes.. I feel like I've gotten to know you very well, and sometimes you get this look on your face" said Vision. "Like you're fighting with something, inside yourself. And I think, sometimes you still worry that you aren't good enough.."

"Vizh.." Wanda tried, but Vision almost immediately cut her off.

"And I'm showing you this drawer, your drawer.. because you need to stop worrying. I want you to stop thinking of yourself as 'just for now' or 'until I find something better'.. Because I'm not going to. This.. us.. Is something I would like to be permanent. I am not with you 'just for now'. I think.. I really think.."

"You think what, Vision?" Wanda looked up at him with wide eyes, her heart fluttering in her chest.

"I think we, you and I.. I really think we might be.. pentru totdeauna. Did I say that right? Vivian told me it means 'forever', but I know she's still learning, so.."

Wanda kissed him then, a sweet, gentle kiss. Touched that he would go to such effort for her.

"I am so in love with you.." She murmured, cupping his cheek.

"And I am very in love with you" Vision replied with a smile. "You like your drawer then?"

"I do."

Wanda kissed Vision again, her eyes stinging with unshed happy tears, because she loved him, she really loved him, and she was finally letting herself accept that he really did love her too. She melted into him, and soon, she had almost forgotten where she ended, and he began.. But that was okay, because maybe it was how things were meant to be.
