AN: Enjoy!


After finishing with lunch, Wanda and Vision headed back up the shopping strip to find an appropriate souvenir for Viv. After a bit more hunting around the stores, they eventually settled on a glitter-globe with a miniature version of the beach inside, and a small plush dolphin. As a thank you to Rio for minding Viv for the weekend, they also picked up a small gift for little Miles- a spider encased in amber. Apparently, he was fascinated with the creatures.

Once they were done exploring the shops, they dropped their purchases back at the hotel, and as the day headed towards its end, Wanda and Vision made their way back for one last walk along the beach, and to watch the sunset. Once again, Vision had held Wanda's shoes for her while she dipped her feet into the ocean, always her perfect gentleman.

Then, the pair had stopped for dinner at a restaurant not too far from the beach. Viv had called while they were waiting for their meals, and Vision set the phone to speaker so they could both talk to her, or more accurately, listen, as Viv was doing most of the talking. She happily told them about her day, but it was clear that the little girl was beginning to miss them. Of course, Wanda and Vision were missing her too, and very happily reminded her that they would be home sometime the next day.

"We should bring her next time we take a trip" Wanda suggested, tucking into her bowl of pasta. "Or maybe we can stop somewhere for the night on our way back from picking her up from her Grandparents after the New Year.."

This was the furthest into the future that Wanda had ever suggested making plans, a sign that she was beginning to see their relationship as something permanent, something forever, and Vision grinned.

"That sounds wonderful."


They fell into bed together again when they made it back to the hotel. Not exactly a planned event, but not unexpected either. They didn't want to waste their remaining night alone, and when you were as caught up in each other as Wanda and Vision happened to be, it was easy to find themselves taking advantage of said alone time.

As much as Wanda loved Vision showering her body with kisses, loved the feeling of him moving over her, loved the way he always wanted to hold her hand while they made love, it was the moments afterwards that she had come to enjoy the most. The way Vision would gaze at her, seeming almost awestruck, how he would ask if she was alright, how he would tell her that he loved her, and she would tell him the same. Loved the way he held her close and pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head.

These were the moments that made Vision so different from anyone else Wanda had been with. The moments that changed 'having sex' into 'making love', and she was so very grateful to him, and loved him so very much, for helping her learn the difference.


Wanda woke nude in Vision's arms the following morning, and nuzzled into his chest, savouring the moment. They wouldn't be able to do this anymore once they got Home, in case Viv were to wander into her room. The loss of freedom might have bothered her once, but as nice as the time alone had been, Wanda couldn't bring herself to feel unhappy about going home.

She was ready to see her little girl.. It felt quite natural now, to think of Viv as hers. The only problem Wanda had with going Home was that 'Home' was no longer her apartment, it was Vision's house, with him and Viv.

Vision was eager to get back and see Viv too, so when the time came for them to get up, dressed, pack up the last of their things and get on the road, neither one of them was bothered.


The drive home was pleasant, as Wanda and Vision listened to the radio and chatted happily to each other. Vision thought he had the next draft of his comic almost ready to send to a publisher, so Wanda promised to look it over and prepare some more artwork for him to send with it.

They made a quick stop for lunch, but by late that afternoon, they were pulling up outside the Morales House to pick up Viv, who, along with Rio and Miles, was already waiting outside for them. As Wanda and Vision got out of the car, Viv ran to them, happily hugging them both, and they crouched down to properly accept her embrace, listening as she started telling them about everything she had done over the weekend.

Eventually, Vision disentangled himself from the arms of his two favourite girls so that he could go thank Rio, and give little Miles his gift. Once Viv had said goodbye to Miles and Rio and they all hopped back in the car, Wanda gave Viv her gifts gifts as well.

"I love them!" Viv squealed happily as they drove, shaking the glitter globe. "Mr Dolphin is so cute, and this is so pretty!"

Before long, they were pulling up outside the House, when Vision frowned.

"Oh.. I'm sorry, Wanda, I forgot to ask if you'd rather be dropped back at your apartment.." He began collecting bags from the trunk.

"I do have work Tomorrow.. but it's the beginning of Halloween season, so since I have my Scarlet Witch costume with me I've technically already got my uniform" she blushed. "And I have clothes here now, So if you don't mind dropping me at the Mall in the morning, there's really no reason I can't stay.. if its okay with you."

"Of course it is" He kissed her cheek as they all headed inside, and a thought came to him. "Wanda, how much longer is the lease on your apartment?"

"A few more months.. why?"

"Just asking.."

Viv giggled.


A little while later, after they had unpacked their things and settled in, Vivian, rather shyly, approached Wanda.

"Wanda, can I talk to you about something in my room?"

"Of course, Fata dulce.." Wanda smiled, then turned and called to Vision, who was in the Kitchen making tea. "I'll just be with Viv, Vizh!"

"Alright.. you girls have fun!"


Wanda let Viv lead her to her room, sitting down on the bed. She noticed the stuffed Dolphin on the bed beside Rocket Raccoon, and the beach glitter globe on her bedside table. Wanda also noticed a new framed photograph, of herself, Vision, and Viv at the park, next to the older one of Virginia, and couldn't help smiling.

"What did you want to talk about, Fata dulce?"

"Just.. the stuff we talked about at the Mall.. on our Girl's day" said Viv.

Wanda felt her heart jump.

"What about it?"

"Well, I've been thinking.. I've always called my Mommy 'Mommy', so it would be kinda hard to call someone else Mommy.."

"Right.." Wanda felt her heart sink just as quickly as it had leapt. "Of course.." Of course she wasn't good enough, of course sweet little Viv wouldn't want her to be..

"So" Viv continued innocently, oblivious to Wanda's sudden turmoil, "What's the Sokovian word for Mommy?"

"W-What?"

"What's the Sokovian word for Mommy?"

"Oh" Wanda blinked. "It's usually just 'Mama', sometimes Mamica.."

"Mama is good" Viv grinned, hopping onto the bed and crawling into Wanda's lap. "My Mommy is 'Mommy', but I can call you 'Mama', and then nobody will get confused!" She blushed, suddenly shy. "If.. If that's okay.."

Wanda's heart soared, her lion purred, and she hugged Viv as tightly as she possibly could without hurting her, the happiest of tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

"You can call me Mama, Fata dulce. And I will tell everybody that you are fetita mea.. my little girl. Okay?"

Viv grinned, snuggling deeper into Wanda's arms.

"Okay."
