AN: Enjoy!
As the weeks passed by, and he continued trying to plan his proposal, Vision thought more about the advice that Tony had given him. It was surprisingly good advice, by Tony's standards.
Keep his proposal simple, special, and personal. Simple was easy. Vision knew simple, he could do simple. It was the 'Special' and 'personal' parts of the equation that had given him the most trouble.
Plenty of places were special to Wanda and Vision. The sky above the Barton farm. The little Ice Cream parlor where they had shared their first kiss. Wakanda, where their beautiful sons had been born.
One particularly special location that kept coming back to Vision was the dark sky reserve in New Zealand where he had taken Wanda to celebrate their first anniversary. That had been beyond special. They had flown together through the perfectly clear sky. Made love under the stars, leading to the miraculous conception of the twins.
There was just the small problem of it being in another country..
Tony, deciding he was invested in the situation now, was now asking for regular updates on the proposal plans. So, Vision had mentioned the reserve to him in a recent phone call.
"Great! Sounds perfect!"
"It is on the other side of the world.."
"No problem. You can borrow the jet."
"Getting there is not the issue" Vision sighed. "It's just too long a trip. We'd be too far away from the boys if there was an emergency."
The other end of the line fell silent for a moment. Tony was clearly thinking. This made Vision ever so slightly nervous. Tony thinking did not always lead to good things.
"What if there was a way around that problem?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean.. What if there was a way for you and your little witch to go to New Zealand but also be back in seconds if you were needed?"
"Wanda and I would rather not be test subjects for any new tech Si.. Tony" Vision frowned. He was still getting used to that.
"It's not tech. During the whole Thanos situation, I met this guy, this uh.. Well, he can do stuff. He might be able to help you out with a quick and easy travel option. Keep Tomorrow free, I'll come get you and we'll see what we can do."
"Alright then, as long as it's not dangerous..I.."
"Vision!" Wanda called suddenly from the next room, sounding both excited and nervous. "Vizh, vino repede!"
Vision quickly wrapped up the call with Tony and hurried in to Wanda.
"What is it? Is something wrong?"
"No" said Wanda, pointing. "Look!"
Vision followed Wanda's pointing finger to see Tommy, grinning cheekily. He was standing, having pulled himself up using the bars of the playpen.
"Oh.." Vision gasped. "He's standing up!"
"He is" Wanda nodded.
"Clever boy, Tommy!" Vision smiled at him.
Tommy giggled, bouncing slightly on his feet, still holding onto the bars to support himself.
"Very clever.."
Vision looked at Wanda, who seemed to be in a little bit of shock.
"Wanda, are you alright? This is a good thing, isn't it? Another milestone, and a little bit early too.."
"I know.." Wanda sighed. "I know. It's good. He's brilliant, of course he is. It just.. it feels.. prea repede. Too fast. Where did baietelul meu go?"
"Wanda" Vision chuckled softly, gently wrapping his arms around her. "Tommy is still your baby boy. Still our baby boy."
"He is" she leaned into Vision's embrace, comforted by him. Tommy was still grinning at them both, oblivious to the slight emotional crisis he was causing for his Mother "He always will be. Billy too. I know they will. Tommy's just growing up so fast, crawling so well, now standing. He'll probably be walking before we know it.."
"Probably" Vision chuckled again.
"It's not funny" Wanda pouted. "Why does he have to be in such a hurry?"
"I think he might take after his Uncle.."
At this, Wanda finally managed a smile.
"I suppose he does.."
"If it helps" Vision gestured to their other son, "I think Billy will still need our help getting around for a little longer."
Billy, who had been playing with some blocks, turned at the mention of his name, waving to his parents with a sweet little smile on his face. Wanda's own smile widened. She moved forward, gently ruffling Tommy's hair, then scooped Billy into her arms. Billy squealed happily, snuggling close to her.
"My sweet boy. You're not going to rush off too quick for Mama, are you?"
"Mama" Billy cooed, snuggling closer.
Both Wanda and Vision froze.
"Wanda.." Vision murmured, "Did he just.."
"There's not really much mistaking it.."
"Are you alright?" Vision asked gently, moving to pick up Tommy.
A dazzlingly bright smile spread over Wanda's face.
"I am absolutely wonderful. Can you say that again, Billy?"
"Mama!"
"Hmm.. Who am I?"
"Mama!" Billy giggled, snuggling even closer.
"Yes, my Baiat istet" Wanda grinned proudly, fussing over her son as she carried him off. "I'm your Mama.."
This particular milestone, Wanda did not mind at all.
Vision waited a moment, then hurried after her, a giggling Tommy in his arms.
"Can you say 'Dada' Tommy?" He asked. "Not yet? That's alright.. Wanda, should we see if Billy knows 'Dada' too?"
With the great excitement over Tommy and Billy's big milestones, Vision had almost entirely forgotten about the arrangement he had made with Tony, until he heard a car pull up outside the cottage the following afternoon.
"Who's that?" Wanda asked, making funny faces at the twins as she fed them.
"It's Tony.." Vision frowned a little. "I completely forgot I said I would go out with him Today.. I can easily postpone, if you would prefer."
"No, you go" Wanda told him, smirking as she thought about the reasons for the trip. "The boys and I will be fine. Nat's dropping by in a bit anyway.."
With Wanda's permission, Vision fetched his things and headed out to the waiting car. The Driver's window was rolled down to reveal Tony, with Peter Parker in the passenger seat.
"Hi, Vision!" Peter greeted happily.
"Hello, Peter.." Vision replied, the slightest bit confused.
"Get in, Robo-son" Tony announced. "We're off to see the Wizard!"
