Author's note: Wanda and Pietro are about 18, Lance is 18, Kitty is 17, Todd is 17, just so you know the ages of the main chars,
"You know, we've got to tell father eventually," Pietro told Wanda as they sat on the sofa. He watched his sister's eyes widen in fear, both of her father and what he might do to her and Todd. He knew she was thinking about how much he'd freaked when she'd told him about her pregnancy. Their father would be about a thousand times worse, maybe a million and Pietro wasn't sure how much of Magneto's brainwashing was even holding on Wanda anymore.
"I know, and I will," Wanda answered looking her brother in the eyes. She took a deep breath before continuing. "It's just, you wanted to kill Todd, and probably would've if Lance and Kitty hadn't stopped you, Dad wouldn't stop, he would murder Todd."
"I know, but you'll start showing eventually, and then it'll be too late to hide it and I think Dad would like to find out from you before you're forced to tell him or he hears from someone else." Wanda nodded, but didn't think telling her father was really a good idea, at least not now. Todd watched the twins talking and tried to think about her Wanda's dad would react. For a moment he wished this that Wanda's father could've been someone else, anyone else, but Magneto was defintally someone to be afraid of, and if he was told, and he wasn't happy, which he probably wouldn't be about his teenaged daughter's pregnancy, then Todd was a dead toad.
"I agree with you baby cakes," Todd said hopping closer to Wanda and wrapping an arm around her waist trying to reassure that everything would work out somehow, but he didn't really succeed.
"We'll talk about it later Pietro, I've got plenty of times to figure things out." Pietro looked at Todd and Wanda and tried not to think that maybe, just maybe they did make an okay couple, and then he felt something he had only felt a few times before in his life, jealously. He was jealous of them, they seemed to be able to face this huge problem, and they were together while he had no one.
Wanda sat down on the edge of her bed tears building in her eyes, Todd was sitting next to her holding her close. He knew she wasn't sure about all this, he knew they were going to keep the baby. No, she was going to keep the baby, he wasn't even sure if him and Wanda had a future as a family. He really liked the thought though, of him and her, and maybe a few children hopping around the house. Not this house he decided looking at the peeling wallpaper and missing paint.
"Todd, you look so far away," Wanda's voice interupted him.
"Yeah, I was thinking about the future, or well, what I'd like to be the future. Wanda, I know we haven't been together for long, and that this isn't the best of circumstances for this, but I love you Wanda and I know we're young now, but I do want to be part of your life and my child's life forever," Todd said sliding his hand around Wanda's. She looked up at him her blue eyes shining slightly.
"Todd, are you asking what I think you're asking?" Todd nodded.
"I know, I don't have a ring or anything, but I'll have the money eventually and..." Todd didn't even get to finish his sentance because Wanda wrapped her arms around him tightly and kissed him passionatly on the lips. He blinked for a second. "Um... I'll take that as a..."
"Yes, Todd, it was a 'yes' I would love to marry you."
