AN: Enjoy!

A few weeks passed after the twins' playdate with the Hulk. During those few weeks, Vision would occasionally disappear on excursions. He did not tell Wanda exactly where he was going on these trips, but this did not bother her. Wanda trusted Vision.

Besides that, she thought she had an inkling of where he might have gone, and if she was right, she did not want to interrupt his plans.

Vision was going to a jewellery store in the city. The same one he and Wanda had stood outside on the day of their Anniversary. He had gone quite a few times now, the reason for the multiple visits being that his task was much more complicated than just choosing a ring. Nothing already available for purchase in the store had felt quite right.

So, he had designed one himself. Roughly sketching, showing the shapes he wanted, which stones and how he wanted them arranged. Making sure the band was tight enough that it would not slip off Wanda's slim finger. This process was, of course, quite a bit more expensive than simply buying a ring, but recently, Vision had, working from home of course, been completing a large portion of Stark Industries paperwork, for which Tony was paying him a very generous wage. Probably a little overly generous, but Tony liked making sure everyone was looked after, so Vision chose not to question it.

Today, the ring was finally ready, and so far as Vision could tell, it was absolutely perfect. He very much hoped that Wanda would think so too. Now all he needed to do was work out how to ask the big question that came with it..

"Well damn, I don't know" said Clint when Vision asked, looking up from his work on the Farm's tractor.. "Mine was easy, I just asked Laura at Christmas.."

Vision sighed, clutching a small bouquet of roses that he had purchased in hopes of sufficiently diverting Wanda's attention from the ring-box before he could hide it. He had made a pit-stop at Clint's House on the way Home looking for advice, but did not seem to be getting far.

"Well, thank you anyway Clint. I should be getting Home to Wanda and the boys."

"She adores you, if that helps" Clint called after Vision's retreating form as he took to the sky. "I think she'll say yes, however you ask."

Of course, this was true. Wanda had already told him that she would say yes, when and however he chose to pop the question. Unfortunately, this did not stop Vision from feeling nervous.

"Hello!" Wanda bounced over to Vision as soon as he walked in the door. "Mi-a fost dor de tine. Are those for me?"

Vision blinked, a little confused, almost forgetting the roses, then remembered, and eagerly thrust them towards her.

"Of course!" He forced a smile, trying not to let himself become too preoccupied with the ring burning a hole in his pocket.

"They're beautiful, Vizh" Wanda kissed his cheek, taking the roses to put them in some water. "Thank you."

"Did the boys behave?" Vision's hand twitched, resisting the urge to reach into his pocket.

"Ingeri desavarsiti" Wanda smiled, filling a vase. "They've just gone down for a nap.. Tony called while you were gone. He and Pepper are back from their Honeymoon, they're coming over Tomorrow.

"Oh? I wonder why?"

"He said there's something he wants to talk to you about."

"Probably just checking up on some paperwork" said Vision. Still, he thought, Tony's visit could be a good thing. It would give him a chance to ask for Proposal advice. With that thought, Vision jumped, flustered, remembering that he still had to hide the ring. "I'll just be in the bathroom.. spilled coffee on myself.."

Of course, Wanda knew full well that Vision didn't eat or drink. Rather than pulling him up on this, she simply smirked.

The following afternoon, Tony and Pepper arrived at the cottage. Before Wanda had even finished asking them inside, Tony was dragging Vision away outside to talk.

Wanda raised an eyebrow, confused, and more than a little concerned. Huh. Wanda concerned about Tony Stark.. Times had definitely changed.

"Uh.." Wanda turned to Pepper, pointing at Tony as he dragged Vision off, "Is he okay?"

"He will be" Pepper chuckled, stepping inside. "Are the twins awake?"

"Yes, they're just in the playpen if you'd like to see them. I'll make some tea.."

"Is everything alright, Sir?" Vision asked Tony, feeling rather concerned. "Is something wrong with the paperwork? I swear I double-checked it all, but.."

"What? No, your paperwork is fine. In fact, it's scary levels of perfect."

"Thank you, sir.. If it's about how much you are paying me, we'd get by perfectly fine on a more average.."

"Again, no. I pay you what you're worth, Vision.. and no more 'Sir' okay? We're friends, it's Tony.."

"Alright, si.. Tony" Vision frowned. "Something is clearly bothering you.."

"True.." Once a safe distance from the Cottage, Tony glanced around nervously, pacing. "Pepper can't hear us from hear, can she?"

"As far as I know, Ms. Potts is not Superhuman, so no, she cannot hear us."

"Good.." He was still pacing. "So, uh.. Pepper's pregnant."

"Oh, that is wonderful news Si.. Tony" Vision corrected himself again, smiling. "Congratulations!"

"Yeah, it's great" Tony smiled a nervous smile. "Pep's thrilled, and so am I, really I am.. But to be honest, I am also really freaked out."

"Why?" Vision was puzzled.

"I don't know how to do this!" Tony cried. "That's why I'm freaking out, Vision. I have absolutely no freaking idea how to be a Father. And it scares me, because I already love that little thing so much and I don't want to screw it up. So I am getting myself help. I need advice. I need someone to teach me."

"Teach you?"

"Yes!" Tony grabbed Vision by the shoulders. "That's why I'm here. You are handling this whole Fatherhood gig astonishingly well. So.. I want you to teach me. Teach me how to be a good Dad."
