AN: Enjoy!

After Wanda got the boys down to sleep, she yawned, rather loudly.

"I think you should rest, Wanda.." Vision told her, feeling rather concerned.

"You don't have to worry," She replied, the effect slightly hampered when she yawned again. "Using my powers doesn't drain me like it used to.."

"Be that as it may" Vision pointed out, "You have had a long day. It is perfectly normal for humans to be tired after a long day, with a lot going on, and we have no way of knowing what Tomorrow might bring."

"That is a good point.." Wanda reluctantly admitted. "Alright. I'll rest. But what about you, Vizh?"

"I am not human, I am a synthezoid" Vision reminded her. "I do not require sleep in the way a human does."

"Oh.." Wanda blinked, seeming a little confused. "Right.."

"Is something wrong?" Vision asked.

"No.." Wanda frowned.

"If nothing is wrong, then why are you frowning?"

"Just.. you are way more human than most of the actual humans I've come in contact with. It's kind of weird to me to think that you aren't one?"

"Weird or not, it's the truth.." Vision frowned a little himself.

"I know it is, technically.. But why? Who said that that's the truth? Who has the right to decide that you're worth any less just because you have a few parts made of metal?" She blushed a little, realising that she had been rambling. "Well, that's what I think anyway.."

"Actually.." Vision joked, hoping to lessen her embarrassment. "Seeing as my metal parts are Vibranium, I am worth quite a bit more than the bounties I used to collect on some humans."

After a brief pause, Wanda laughed and Vision did too, any awkwardness or tension immediately easing.

Wanda eventually took Vision's advice that she should rest, but as she tried to settle in the little bed inside their hut, she found that she couldn't. Already, She'd become too used to things being just the four of them aboard the Side Of Life, sleeping to the soft hum of the ship's engine.

This planet, though Wanda knew it was quiet by most standards, was too noisy. The buzzing of insects, the sound of animals and other people bustling about in neighbouring houses.

"Vizh?" She called out to him.

"Yes?" Vision, who had remained in the next room, keeping watch for any sign of trouble, rushed in, slightly panicked. "What's wrong? Are the boys okay?"

Vision peeked into the cots, hovering beside the bed. Tommy was sleeping peacefully, while Billy was slightly restless, but still sleeping.

"They're fine" Wanda told him, a little guilty for having made him worry, even though it was wonderfully sweet how protective of them all he had become. "I just.. I can't get to sleep. I'm struggling to make my brain settle."

"Oh.." Vision thought for a moment. "I could go see if someone has a pill, or.."

"No drugs!" Wanda snapped, then panicked, checking to see that she hadn't woken the twins, and took a breath, calming herself. "Sorry.. It's just, I've been sedated up to my eyeballs for long enough.. Never again, if I can help it."

"Of course" Vision nodded, sheepish. "I never should have suggested it. But.. I am not sure how else I can help."

"I.. I know you don't need to sleep.." Wanda blushed. "But could you maybe.. Lay next to me, for a bit? You're kind of a calming influence."

"Oh. Uh, alright then. If you think it will help.."

"Thank you.." Wanda settled back into bed.

Vision, quite shyly, laid down beside her. The bed was small, so he was unable to avoid his arm touching hers.

"Is this alright?" He asked, a little nervous. "If you like, I can lay on my side so I'm not.."

"No.. this is okay.." She laced her fingers with his. "Is that okay?"

"If it helps you."

"I think it will."

They lay quietly for a while. Eventually, Vision felt Wanda's breathing slow, her muscles relax, and turned to see that Wanda had finally drifted off to sleep.

He wondered for a moment if he should move, but when he tried, she whined in protest. So, Vision stayed put. He smiled softly when he saw Wanda's face settle back into peaceful sleep, and willingly allowed another little piece of his synthetic heart to be stolen.

Vision remained by Wanda's side until the following morning, when the twins woke demanding attention, beginning with a diaper change.

"If we do settle down for a while.." said Wanda, struggling to change a squirming Tommy while Vision helped hold him still so he didn't escape and speed away buck naked into the great unknown, "It might be a good idea to try and get the boys potty trained.. What do you think?"

"Oh.. um.." Vision blinked, a little surprised at being asked his opinion. Tommy and Billy were Wanda's children after all, not his, as much as he was growing to love them. "Well, that might make things easier, time wise.. If the boys are ready, of course.."

"Tommy might be.." Wanda finished up, allowing Vision to release him, letting him zip off happily around the hut. "He'd love not needing to be nabbed for changing every few hours."

"And Billy?" Vision scooped the other little boy out of his cot. He'd already been changed before his brother, but Vision felt a need to try and bond with him further. Billy remained shy, but didn't actively pull away from Vision anymore, which felt like progress.

"Billy may take a little longer" Wanda admitted. "He's not behind at all, he just likes the connection.. We'll just have to make sure he gets extra cuddles."

Wanda smiled. Even though Wanda didn't have to include him in her decisions about the twins, he was glad that she was. Before he could reply, however, they were interrupted by a knock at the door of their hut. Wanda snatched up Tommy to ensure he did not race outside, before Vision opened the door, revealing Quill on the other side.

"Hey, Vision" Quill greeted him, pausing before looking to Wanda, "And, uh.. Vision's girlfriend?"

"I'm not his girlfriend" Wanda blushed, almost the exact shade as Vision's skin. "I.. Vision helped me. We are just good friends."

"Yes" Vision agreed, also blushing. "Good friends."

"Suit yourself.." Quill shrugged. "I was hoping you and your, uh, good friend might be ready to have a talk about a few things?"

"We can do that," Vision nodded.

"Great! We'll just grab someone to watch the kiddos for you and.."

Billy's curled closer to him, and Vision's heart swelled.

"No."

"What?" Quill blinked.

"No" Vision repeated. "We are not leaving Wanda's children with a stranger. Where I go, they go."
