Part 10
Wanda
We were kids when our parents died. I never knew what love was, what it meant for two people to commit to each other for lives. I never understood the dynamics. I only knew one love, and that was of my brother's.
When I lost him, I thought the doors to love were forever closed for me. But that, wasn't true. Because, I had found another family, people who loved me, cared for me, would die to protect me. Just like parents did. And I didn't just find one parent, I found a bunch.
I stared at Tony Stark's photograph on the newspaper, the man we blamed for our parent's death, and funnily the man who became an overprotective guardian to me. Then there was Clint, who was the first one to take us in, as kids.
"What are you doing, girl? " Sam messed my hair as he sat down beside me, I got another brother in him.
"Nothing" I looked up, and saw Cap and Nat entering the house, tired and worn out, yet happy.
"How are, mom and dad? " I asked Sam.
"Happy, in love, still not annoying but cute. Aren't they made for each other? " he said.
"They sure are" I said.
"I can understand when you refer to Cap as dad, but mom? Seriously? " Sam raised eyebrows.
"You'll see" I said.
Natasha kissed Cap before he entered their room, and then she walked to us.
"Hey! " she said to me, her voice so affectionate, just like a mom's should be, "How are you? Have you ate? Should I make something? " she touched my cheek with love, her eyes so soft.
I looked at Sam and he smiled, understanding what I meant.
"Yeah, I did. Don't worry" I said.
"I'll make something, you must have eaten junk, as always" she headed towards the kitchen.
I walked behind her and hugged her from behind, "I love you" I said, my eyes moist.
"I love you too" she said turning to face me and pat my cheek.
"I am fine, please freshen up first" I said.
She smiled and gave me a warm hug.
"Thank you, Mom" I mouthed.
She kissed my forehead before heading to her bedroom.
"You are right. " Sam said, "She is your mom"
"She is" I said.

I entered the bedroom, where Steve was waiting for me to join him in the bath.
"Not now" I said hitting his chest, "I am sure Wanda hasn't eaten anything healthy, we need food too. Get in and get back fast. We need to cook healthy stuff".
"You mean I have to cook? " He raised his eyebrows.
"Steve, I can cook too" I rolled my eyes.
"You can do everything, but let this, stay with me" he wrapped his arms around me, and placed a gentle kiss on my lips. I relaxed in his warmth.
"A quick shower, then? " he asked. I couldn't disagree anymore, and nodded. He took my hand and pulled me in.

Wanda
My mom and dad used to cook for us. I still remember. Watching Cap and Nat do the same for me, my eyes got moist.
"Nat, pass me the salt " he said, although the salt was in his reach, and when she turned to pick it, he wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her to kiss her neck.
Sam and I turned the television off and watched them. Their love is a treat to watch. Cap keeps finding ways to kiss her, her head, her cheeks, her neck, her hands. And she keeps finding ways to hug or cuddle.
"I never knew she had such a soft side" Sam said.
"No one ever brought that out I guess " I said.
"True, he is gonna propose soon" Sam said.
I turned to face him enthusiastically, "he is? " I almost shouted. Thank God, they were too lost in each other to notice.
"Yeah, they have been together for over an year now. I think its time for them to get settled" he said.
"Of course. Oh God!! Does he have a ring? I can help him select, I know what she likes. I know he does too. But I am a girl. She will agree, obviously. Oh God, a wedding " I was so excited.
"No, he is thinking of getting one. She is always with him so, its difficult to.. " Sam said.
"We should help, right? We'll have to distract her, so he gets the ring. I'll keep her busy. You both go shopping tomorrow " I said.
"What would you do? " Sam asked.
"You'll see. Mommy dearest won't leave my side, and would compel you guys to go. They'll get married. Oh God" I felt teary.
"Get over here, dinner's served" We heard her soft, happy, voice.
I rushed to the table and pulled them both into a hug.
"I love you so much, guys " I said.
"We love you too, sweety" she said rubbing my back. Cap kissed the top of my head.
"Come, eat " Cap said and we all settled on the dining table.
When she got up to bring water, I leaned close to Cap.
"You can get the ring tomorrow" I said. He smiled, and pat my cheek.
"Nat? " I looked at her, "Can you feed me with your hands? Please? "
"Of course " she said, in her motherly affectionate tone. She started feeding me and I kept smiling. My dearest mom. I hugged her belly and put my head on her head. She didn't protest. She kept feeding me.
And at night, I requested her to stay with me, I put my head on her lap and hugged her legs. She kept patting my hair till I entered slumber.
