AN: Enjoy!


Wanda Maximoff was one of the most beautiful beings in the entire universe. At least, that's what Vision thought as he watched over her the following morning, her nude form curled against him, peacefully sleeping. Her arms were wrapped tightly around him, and at some point during the night, she had thrown a leg over him, her ankle hooked around his calf to keep him from going anywhere.. Not that he was planning to.

Vision knew that, despite his reassurances, there was a little piece of Wanda that was still worried he would one day leave her. Vision, however, was entirely sure that this was not going to happen. There were other things that he was sure of, that he could have told her to help prove his devotion. Like the fact that, some time soon, he was hoping to give Wanda more than a drawer, and ask her to move in entirely. That he thought he was probably going to marry her someday. That if he were to have more children, Wanda was going to be their Mother.

But he didn't say any of these things, because it may have been a bit too much. They were, after all, still supposed to be taking their relationship relatively slow.

Wanda slowly began to stir beside him, and Vision leaned down, helping ease her transition to the waking world with a soft kiss. She responded to the kiss, a hand curling around the back of his head to pull him a little closer.

"Mmm.. good morning" Vision smiled as they broke apart.

"Good morning" Wanda smiled back as her eyes fluttered open. She was blushing, but only a little, comfortable enough with Vision now, and he with her, that their current state of undress didn't really bother or embarrass either of them anymore the way it once might have.

Before, for Wanda, waking in bed naked with a man usually meant facing a drunken mistake she had made the night before.

And for Vision, well.. Before he'd blown off whatever discomfort or embarrassment he felt as inexperience, Virginia having been his first partner, but the truth, he saw now, was that they'd just never completely clicked.

But now, together, Wanda and Vision were comfortable. It was actually quite pleasant, beautifully, innocently, intimate in a way neither one of them had truly experienced before.

"Did you sleep well?" Vision asked, gently brushing a stray hair from Wanda's face.

"Mmmhm" Wanda snuggled even closer to Vision. She found she slept better in his arms. She also liked waking up with him, and was starting to really miss him on the days that she did not. "I'm sorry again, for yesterday.."

"It's alright, really" Vision chuckled. "I understand. Just know, in the future, that I only have eyes for you."

At that, Wanda's blush deepened, but she tried to hide it.

"Plans for today? Any parties?"

"No, free today.. and you're off work, aren't you?"

"I am.. When do you have to pick up Viv?"

"Natasha said she'd take her to school, so not until this afternoon."

"Do you think she'll still be upset with me?" Wanda asked nervously.

"She was more mildly annoyed than genuinely upset. And honestly, she's probably already forgotten about it" Vision replied. "Even if she hasn't, Viv adores you. It will be fine."

"You think so?" Wanda was still somewhat concerned.

"I know so" Vision kissed the top of her head and gently began to disentangle himself from her. "Now if You'll let me go, love, I'd like to make you breakfast."

"Oops" Wanda blushed again, but let him go. "I did have you a little trapped, didn't I?"

"Yes you did, but I wouldn't have it any other way.." He chuckled, tugging on a new pair of boxers. Seeing that his girlfriend still seemed worried, Vision offered a solution. "We'll take Viv for ice-cream after school. If she is still upset, that will soften her up."

"Thanks, Vizh" Wanda smiled. "That sounds great."


So, that afternoon after school got out, Wanda and Vision took Viv to what had become their regular ice-cream parlour, and ordered the little girl her favourite strawberry sundae. Then, as she ate it, Wanda apologised.

Viv looked at her blankly.

"Did you hear that, Vivian?" said Vision. "Wanda is trying to say sorry."

"I know.." Viv swallowed a mouthful of ice-cream, confused. "But what for?"

"For not listening to you properly yesterday, at the picnic" Wanda explained. "I was.. I don't really have a good excuse. But I am sorry, and I would like to hear all about your plans for your trip to your friend Miles's house."

"All about it?" Viv's eyes lit up.

"Totul despre asta.. all about it" Wanda confirmed.

"Well.."

As Viv began to chatter away happily, Vision draped an arm around Wanda, and Wanda, smiling, leaned against his shoulder as she listened, knowing all was forgiven.


The next couple of weeks passed rather uneventfully. The empty drawer was slowly filling, officially becoming Wanda's drawer. Before they knew it, the day of Viv's sixth Birthday Party had arrived.

Wanda had helped Vision with all the preparations, using her staff discount to get all the decorations, party favours, and other supplies they needed from the store. The night before, she headed over to Double B and managed to talk Bucky into another free cake.

On the day itself, Wanda let Vision run the festivities and wrangle Viv's young guests, while she fussed about in the Kitchen working on the party food, with a bit of help from Laura Barton. Again, it didn't really occur to her that this was where the Mother of the Birthday child would be during such an event. She was just safer with food than Vision was. Wanda did notice, however, that every so often, Natasha would catch her eye and smirk a little.

What was that about?


When the party was over, and most of the guests had gone home, Viv summoned Wanda out into the garden, just as she had the year before. Only this year, she knew exactly why.

They both released a balloon for their lost brothers, watching them float away.

"I miss Vin.."

"I understand. I still miss Pietro, too."

They were quiet for a while, until Viv spoke again.

"But.." Viv continued, "It m-might be nice to have another brother or sister, one day.. You don't think Vin would mind, do you?"

"Of course not, Fata dulce" Wanda replied, scooping her up and holding her close. "Loving new people doesn't mean we forget about the ones who are gone."

"Okay.. Wanda?"

"Yes?"

"If you and my Daddy have a baby one day, they'd be my brother or sister, wouldn't they?"

The question didn't bother Wanda at all. Vision had as good as promised her forever, and Wanda was very close to completely believing him. Forever likely included children at some point. Wanda almost responded with the completely clinical genetic truth, that any such child would only be Viv's half-sibling.. But Viv was gazing at her with wide, almost hopeful eyes, and Wanda's lion roared.

"Yes. Yes they would. And they'd love their big sister as much as I do."

"Really?"

"Really" Wanda grinned, heading back towards the house. "Now come on, let's go see if we can find some left over cake."

"Yay!"
