Part 58
Wanda stood up but Y/n pulled her back down.
"What do you mean he's not Pietro's son?" Y/n wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks.
"He's just not. I... it happened almost a year after he died. One of my friends suggested I get myself out there you know? And so I went out with her and had one stupid hookup. And then Lucas was born. He was born so early I thought he might not make it, and none of you guys ever talked to me, none of you did the maths. You couldn't tell me his birthday!" Wanda shook her head.
"No. No. No! I watched the video. The one you made in the ship. Pepper showed it to me. You said you had news!" Y/n laughed half-heartedly.
"Yeah, news that I bought the place I live at now. The music school with the flat above it. I bought it as a surprise for after the honeymoon. I thought we could renovate it together. And then we would get to live in the flat we made and work below doing whatever we chose. He said he wanted to settle down so we could live a quiet life, so I bought it. I wasn't pregnant. And if I had been, I wouldn't have told him in case I didn't make it. I wouldn't have put him through that." Wanda shook her head.
"Y/n you're being ridiculous. You're lying to me." Y/n called out to her.
"Wanda please don't put me back. Don't put me back in that, that... that lifeless body. Please." Wanda shook her head again, her eyes shut tight.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Y/n slid onto her knees. Her voice came out in barely a whisper.
"Please Wanda, don't make me kiss him. Don't make me love him. That's not Pietro." Wanda opened her eyes and looked at her with a growl.
"You don't know anything."
Y/n sprung to her feet with a smile.
"How's my acting Wands? Getting any better?" Wanda stared at her, her smile painfully twisting her lips.
"Still not quite believable." Y/n smiled.
"Wow! You think I'm unbelievable! What a compliment. Maybe I should stick to singing though." The two of them laughed as Pietro came back to greet them.
"Look, I know I have super speed but you guys are so slow! Whataya doing all the way back here?" Y/n smiled as she skipped into his arms.
"Oh, I just like watching you walk." They smiled at each other with their teeth glistening in the light. The twin boys groaned as Pietro dipped Y/n into a kiss.
All was right.

Y/n woke up with a dark sinking cloud willing her lungs. She stood up and walked down the stairs into the living room, and barely noticed the handrail phasing into different styles. She just kept her eyes forward and her feet in front of her. One step. One step. One step. She could feel her skin mushing upwards, and he taffy lips stretched into a smile as Wanda rounded the corner.
"Morning Wands. How are you feeling?" A dishevelled Wanda stood before her, or more accurately stumbled in front of her.
"Oh Y/n, I'm just peachy. I think I'm going to do nothing today." Y/n nodded slowly.
"Riiigghtt. Sure." Y/n shifted in her close-up seat.
"Now I'm no genius, but I'm thinking maybe she's NOT all peachy keen. Maybe." Y/n looked over as the boys stood between her and Wanda.
"Hey Mom, last night, Uncle P said that thing about re-killing Dad?" Wanda snapped her neck towards the.
"Don't believe anything that man said, he is not your uncle." She knelt down to be at their eye level as they leaned back slightly.
"Who is he?" Wanda laughed dryly.
"Here's the thing boys. I'm your mom, and as such, you were counting on me to have all the answers right? Well, I don't. I have... zero answers. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Niente. I'm starting to believe that everything is, meaningless. You're welcome to draw your own conclusions, but that's just where I'm at." Y/n slowly leaned forward and held the boy's shoulder.
"Okay guys, I think maybe Mom needs to have a little me-day, so let's go into the kitchen and not disturb her." The moment they reached the kitchen's door frame, a ringing sprouted from the door. Wanda plonked onto the couch with a smile.
"Hi Agnes, come on in. I'd get up, but I just don't want to." Agnes nodded slowly.
"I hear you need a place for those three to get out of your hair, and I've got an empty house." Wanda looked up.
"Agnes, are you sure?" Agnes smiled wildly.
"Oh, abso-positively. Come on boys, we'll have a blast." Tommy frowned.
"DO we have to Mom?" Y/n pushed them towards the door.
"Come on you two. Me and Agnes will take care of you." Anges nodded.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't bite."
Agnes leant against the back of the close-up couch.
"I actually did bite a kid once." Y/n sat forward in a close-up chair.
"You know what, I think I got bit by a kid once."
