AN: Enjoy!

Before Wanda and Vision could truly get into planning a Wedding, they had another big event to look forward to. Tommy and Billy would soon be celebrating their First Birthday.

"Can you believe it, Vizh?" Wanda asked with a smile, as they dressed the boys one Morning. "Our copii baietii are nearly a year old already.."

"I know" Vision smiled, wrestling Tommy into his clothes as he squirmed. "And what a wonderful year it's been."

"It has" Wanda smiled back at him, pausing to think for a moment. "Should we have a petrecere? Nothing too elaborate, I always thought huge parties for one-year olds were a bit silly, seeing as they won't remember any of it. Just something small.."

"We definitely should" Vision agreed. "There was a moment, when Thanos was on his way, when I worried that neither of us would live to see the twins First Birthday. So, this is definitely a milestone that should be celebrated."

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

"And I quite like celebrating people's Birthdays" Vision continued. "It is rather interesting to me, seeing the process of it all, since I do not have a day of my own to celebrate."

"Yes you do" Wanda frowned, picking up Billy. "I mean, I know you weren't born in the traditional human way, but you were, well born.." Her frown deepened as she came to the unpleasant realisation that they hadn't ever celebrated any sort of Birthday for Vision while she'd been with him.

"That is true.." Vision picked up Tommy, heading out to place him in the play pen so he could burn off a bit of energy. "But so many terrible things happened around that time. Your Home country was all but destroyed, your brother was killed.. It has just never felt like a time for celebrations."

"Vizh.." Wanda's frown deepened.

"It's alright, really" Vision turned to smile at her after he'd set Tommy down. "I have so many wonderful things in my life to celebrate. I don't need to celebrate myself."

Wanda was probably the only person alive who knew the finer details of Vision's face well enough to notice that his smile wasn't quite reaching his eyes the way that it usually did, but before she could mention this, Billy whined in her grasp, reaching for Vision.

"I think somebody might want a cuddle from Daddy.." She couldn't help smiling.

"Well, Daddy always has cuddles to give" Vision happily took Billy, and now, his smile did reach his eyes.

Still, as she thought back on the conversation later, Wanda couldn't help feeling concerned, and well, a little bit upset.

Because, over the following few days, Wanda found herself watching Vision. Of course, she watched him a lot anyway, she still found him rather enchanting.. But especially so now.

She watched him scrolling through First Birthday Party ideas on Pinterest. Watched him tending to their sons.. Not just their regular everyday needs, like feeding and changing, but more individual needs. Giving Billy an extra cuddle or two when he needed them. Climbing into the playpen to play with Tommy, or changing his little shoes when his speeding had burned through the soles (They'd mentioned this problem to Tony, and he was working on something for them).

Vision was always, always there when Wanda needed him. He made sure to tell her that she was beautiful at least once every single day, usually more than once, even, perhaps especially, at the times Wanda didn't think she was, like when she'd just woken up with messy hair, or rings under her eyes if she hadn't slept well.

Vision would hold Wanda if she had a nightmare, unafraid on the occasions, much rarer now, where she would accidentally lash out with her powers. Whisper words of comfort until she calmed, kiss her tears away if she cried. Sometimes, if he happened to be awake, watching Wanda sleep as he often did, and noticed a clench of her teeth, a furrowing brow, eyelids twitching more than a regular dream.. Vision would wake her before the nightmare could truly take hold. Then, whether he had woken her during the bad dream or before, he would do whatever Wanda needed him to do. Usually, he would simply hold her and stroke her hair, soothing her back to sleep. Sometimes, they would sit up and talk for a while, and sometimes.. Wanda blushed, briefly losing her train of thought.

Vision was a doting, hands-on Father to the twins, and the very best Husband-to-be that Wanda ever could have hoped for. He was loving, and kind, and clever.. There could never be enough words to do justice to just how wonderful Vision was. He was probably the best person Wanda had ever known.

And he absolutely deserved to be celebrated.

Of course, Wanda understood Vision's concerns over the timing of his birth, but they could work around that easily enough. So, one night after they had put Tommy and Billy to bed, and Vision had put the latest Birthday cake recipe he was trying into the oven, Wanda enacted her plan.

"Vizh, can you come here for a moment?"

"Is something wrong?" Vision hurried over, then eyed the calendar in Wanda's hands.

"Nothing's wrong" Wanda smiled. "I've just been thinking about.. your Birthday.."

"Wanda.." Vision frowned, "We talked about.."

"I know" She cut him off. "I know, and I understand. But I.. I still think you deserve a day for you. So choose one."

"What?" Vision blinked.

"Choose one" Wanda repeated, handing him the calendar. "Choose a Birthday, any day you like."

Vision opened his mouth, as if to argue again, then paused, thinking for a long moment. Maybe.. a Birthday would be nice, if he could choose one far enough removed from the tragedies surrounding the original. He flipped open the calendar, pointing at June 10th.

"Is here okay?"

"Of course.." The date seemed familiar to Wanda. "Oh. That was.."

"When I first came to see you, after the Civil War" said Vision. "When we first kissed. It was.. a rebirth for me, I suppose. I knew who I really wanted to be. That doesn't sound too silly, does it?"

"Not at all.." Wanda smiled, then kissed him, committing the chosen date to her memory. When Vision's 'Re-Birthday' came, she was going to make it a good one.
