Chapter Text
The feeling of nausea hits her. All of a sudden, forcing her to run to the nearest bin to empty her stomach. Natasha is by her side in an
instant, worry rolling off her, but her face and body remain emotionless.
“ Maximoff, are you okay?” the widow asks, pulling the younger woman’s hair back while rubbing her back in a soothing motion.
“ Yea,” Wanda replied after throwing up what was left of her lunch. “ Must have been something I ate, and my stomach didn’t agree with it.” She wipes her mouth with the sleeve of her shirt, walking over where her water is to drink.
“ Are you sure?” Steve asks concernedly. “ If you need a break, take it.”
“ I’m fine, Cap,” Wanda says, but the moment she said, that she went rushing back to the bin and threw up her guts again. Natasha and Steve shared a look of concern for the little witch.
“ Okay, everyone, training is done,” Steve announced, which only annoyed Wanda.
“ You don’t have to end training just because I threw up twice,” she says.
“ We need you healthy little witch. So it’s an order that you rest,” Natasha says. Wanda rolled her eyes but listened. She went to her room and locked the door before going to the bathroom to clean up. In the back of her mind, she knew or guessed her sudden sickness. She’s been having it for the last couple of weeks now. She also realized her powers which had slightly changed. But she’s been ignoring it, thinking it was her powers growing. After she cleaned up, she went to her calendar. Where she marked when her next menstrual cycle was supposed to come but hadn’t. She missed it, and as much as she wishes, it was just delayed. She knew better. She never missed; her cycle ever. She sighs, resting her head against the wall and placing a hand to her stomach. Her hand glowed with its familiar scarlet hue. She could feel not one but two fuzz minds not of her own. While she couldn’t really hear their thoughts. She could make out that they were content which made her smile. She’s pregnant and with twins. Oh my god, I’m pregnant . Wanda thought. How is that possible? I never even slept with anyone. But then her mind went to when Hydra had managed to capture her a couple of weeks ago, 6 weeks ago to, be specific. She didn’t understand why they weren’t beating, drugging, or experimenting on her as they would normally. Instead, they gave her a good bed, fed her, and let her take showers which they never did before. While she was still in a cage, she was treated better than before, and she couldn’t for the love of God know why. They had taken her blood, and somehow the doctor had turned them into eggs. They also had 3 other blood that the doctor somehow turned into sperms. Their technology was way too advanced for her to understand but what she did know was that they were trying to make something with her blood turned eggs with those three other blood turned sperm. She had been knocked out for a while. Because when she returned to the land of the living, the Avengers had been there. They must have implanted the fertilized eggs into me when I was unconscious. Wanda thought. Fucking great now. I have kids with some random guy. She made a mental note to visit Doctor Cho for a check-up to make sure everything is okay with the twins later. After getting comfortable on the bed with her laptop, she turned on facetime knowing. That she would have to tell Pietro about her situation. Knowing that he would be feeling the echo of her morning sickness due to their twin bond. Pietro had picked up on the first ring.
“ Здраво, сестро,” (Serbian- meaning: Hello sister). Pietro greeted.
“ Hi, Wanda!” Lila’s body, popping into the screen.
“ Hi Lila, how are you doing over there?” Wanda asked, happy to see the little girl. Pietro was staying with the Bartons while he’s recovering from dying. The only girl Barton went on ranting about how she was and what she was doing. Wanda listened patiently and spoke when it was appropriate. She talked with Lila for a while before the girl said goodbye to her. Since her mother was calling her, leaving just her and her brother on the call now. “Она је невероватна," (Serbian- meaning: She’s incredible), Pietro says with fondness.
“ Она је,” (Serbian- meaning: She is). Wanda agreed before they both got serious, knowing the conversation they were about to have would change their lives.
“ трудна сам,” (Serbian- meaning: I’m pregnant). She’s blunt and straightforward. There was no need to beat around the bush when she knew Pietro would know eventually.
“ Не сери сестро, нисам то схватио уз сво повраћање које сам радио,” (Serbian- meaning: No shit sister, I didn't realize that with all the throwing up I had been doing). Wanda rolled her eyes at the sarcastic comment. “ Али озбиљно, како сте ви и беба?” (Serbian- meaning: But on a serious note, how are you and the baby?).
“ Бебе, имам близанце. Сви смо добро. Заказаћу састанак са доктором Цхо -ом ради прегледа да се уверим да ли су добро,” (Serbian- meaning: Babies, I'm having twins. We're all doing good. I'm gonna make an appointment with Doctor Cho for a check up to make sure that they're okay).
“ Добро, ко је сада отац?” (Serbian- meaning: Good, who’s the father?) Pietro asks. She could hear the coldness of his tone towards the word father.
“ Не знам, Хидра је разлог зашто сам трудна, у мене су ставили оплођена јајашца,” (Serbian- meaning: I don't know, Hydra is the reason why I'm pregnant, they put the fertilized eggs in me). Wanda answers.
“ Убићу их, кунем се,” (Serbian- meaning: I'm gonna kill them, I swear). Pietro vowed, anger surging in him. How dare Hydra takes his sister’s rights? “ Узели су нам довољно. Како се усуђују да вас натерају да затрудните?” (Serbian- meaning: They have taken enough from us. How dare they force you to be pregnant?) As much as Wanda hated that Hydra forced her to be pregnant, it is her choice. To either go through with it or abort it. She already made her decision whether it was conscious or not that she would keep the twins. They were a part of her now, and killing them would be like killing a part of herself. The two talked for 3 hours before Wanda felt the exhaustion take over and had to say goodbye to her brother, promising to keep him updated.
Natasha awoke from a nightmare. It was a strange and new one. In her dream, she’s with a little girl no more than the age of 6 years. She had gorgeous blonde hair which reminded her of Yelena but the girl in her dream didn’t look anything like Yelena. In fact, the girl kinda looked like herself and Wanda. She didn’t really think about it though, she just thought her dream manifested the little girl because the little witch currently holds her affections.
“ Come on darlin’,” Natasha said to the 6-year-old girl who had been coloring.
“ Where are we going mama?” the 6-year-old girl asks.
“ We’re going to visit Тетя and Бабушка and Дедушка,” (Russian-meaning: Auntie, Grandma, and Grandpa). Natasha answers, extending her hand to her daughter apparently.
“ Yay! Will we meet мајка there?” (Serbian-meaning: mom/mother/ma). The child asks, green eyes looking up at Natasha hopeful. The dream changes. Natasha is back in the Red Room with a gun in her hand.
“ Your targets,” She hears Madam B’s emotionless voice behind her. There’s a sinking feeling in her gut. She doesn’t want these targets. She knows somewhere deep inside her, it would break her but she has no control. She’s forced to turn around and when she does, she’s met with the sight of her family, not her Avenger family but her first family that she can remember. She sees her mother, Melina, her father, Alexei, and her little sister, Yelena. She knows that they don’t look like that now, they’re older but she hasn’t seen them in 19 years. Next to a 6-year-old Yelena, stands Wanda. No, she thinks. She knows deep down she has to kill them in order to survive but she can’t. She doesn’t want to. Her heart plummets at the sight of the 6-year-old girl, her daughter.
“ Mama, help!” the child is screaming. “ Help mama! Help!” Multiple guns go off and kill every single one of them. She’s drowning in their blood. That’s when she jolts awake. Her breathing is labored. She’s trying to get her bearings together again, sweat sticking her clothes onto her. She strips out of her shirt leaving her bare. She went to her draws to grab a sports bra and some sweats and boxers. She threw them on knowing that she wasn’t going back to bed anytime soon and made her way to the kitchen. She was surprised to see that Steve and Bucky were up well, mostly Steve, since she bumps into Bucky sometimes.
“ What are you boys doing up?” She asks as she makes her way to the coffee machine to make herself a cup.
“ Nightmares, you?” Bucky asks.
“ Same, how about you Steve?” Natasha asks, waiting for the coffee machine to finish making her coffee.
“ Same, it was so strange,” Steve says, his brows furrowed.
“ What do you mean?” Natasha asks curiously, pouring coffee into her cup once the machine beeps indicating the coffee was ready.
“ Bucky and I think we might have shared a dream,” Steve says. Natasha raised an eyebrow that said to elaborate.
“ We had a dream about a little boy around 6 years old, blonde hair and blue eyes,” Bucky answers, and Natasha’s breath hitches. That can’t be a coincidence right, that they had similar dreams. “ He looked like me and Steve but also like Wanda which is impossible.”
“ He kept talking about how his twin and mom were in trouble,” Steve added. “ He also kept calling Bucky, Papa and me, Dad.” Natasha’s head was reeling, this can't just actually be a huge coincidence, right? “ What was your dream about?”
“ I also had a dream of a 6-year-old but the child was a girl instead of a boy and had green eyes instead of blue,” Natasha says. “ She looked like me and Wanda and I know that sounds crazy but I think she was mine and Wanda’s daughter.” The men looked at her with a surprised look, realizing what she just revealed. She glared at them before they could say anything, silencing them.
“ I think we need to talk to Wanda because for some reason she is in all of our dreams,” Steve says.
“ They are perfectly healthy and you’re nearing about 13 weeks,” Doctor Cho tells Wanda as she wipes off the cold gel on her stomach. “ You will probably start showing soon so you might wanna figure out if you want to tell the team yet or not.” Wanda had finally made her appointment with the doctor 6 weeks later, she supposed that she wanted to delay it but knew couldn’t avoid it forever, which brought her here.
“ Thanks and please keep this between us for now,” Wanda says.
“ Okay but no training for you missy or missions,” Doctor Cho ordered.
“ Can you write that down please,” Pietro says to the doctor. Pietro had returned to the compound for his monthly check-in which was also why Wanda decided to wait 6 weeks to book the appointment so Pietro could be there with her when they looked at the twins for the first time. “ Also, possible to print that photo, yes?”
“ Yes, would you like a copy of it?” Doctor Cho says.
“ Yes please,” Pietro answers.
“ See sister it wasn’t that bad,” Pietro says after Doctor Cho printed the sonogram of the twins. Wanda just rolled her eyes, leaning against him. “ I think they’re gonna be like us.” Wanda’s brows furrowed.
“ What do you mean?” she asks.
“ Gender sister, I think they’ll be a girl and boy,” he explains.
“ Really? I was thinking they’d be both boys,” she says. Pietro raises an eyebrow.
“ Really, $20 they’re like us,” he says.
“ Piet, are you seriously betting on the gender of your nieces/nephews?” She moved away and lightly smacked him on the arm.
“ Yup and I tell you that they’re gonna make me $20 richer or unless you’re scared to lose,” Pietro questioned, knowing his twin would take the bait.
“ Oh you’re on brother,” Wanda says, determination shining in her eyes. They move from one topic to another.
“ Will you tell Clint and Laura?” Pietro asked as they sat in her room.
“ I want to tell them, they’re the closest thing we have to parents now,” Wanda says. She had spent almost a year with the Bartons along with her brother, and she felt that they were now part of their family as much as they were part of theirs. “ I’ll tell them when I go to visit in a month.”
“ Will it be safe for you guys to travel?” Pietro’s protectiveness showing.
“ Yea, it isn’t until I’m at the end of my second trimester that it’s no longer safe for me to travel,” Wanda reassured her twin.
“ Okay...you have any names yet?” He asks. There’s a beat of silence as Wanda thinks before answering.
“ Kinda, if it’s a boy, Tommy, short for Thomas,” She says.
“ Tommy?” Pietro questioned as if he wasn’t really sure if he liked the name or not but it’s not really his choice. “ It’s not bad, how about if it’s a girl?”
“ I don’t know yet but her middle name is definitely Iryna after our mother,” a soft yet sad smile graced their lips at the mention of their late mother.
“ They would have loved them,” Pietro says, wrapping his arms around her as she leaned her head against his chest. The rhythm of his heartbeat pulsed against her ear brought her comfort.
/ / /
The twins awoke to the sound of someone knocking on the door which meant that they must have fallen asleep at some point when they were talking. Wanda could feel the familiar mind of Clint’s. She has never been able to read his mind, he has some sort of barrier preventing her from even seeing the surface of his thoughts. It had taken a while to get used to meeting a wall whenever she was around Clint and her magic would instinctively project to the other person.
“ Clint’s here,” Wanda muttered tiredly. Pietro groaned.
“ Come in old man,” the platinum-silver-haired speedster says to lazy to actually get up. They hear the door open after a couple of seconds, they turn their heads towards the archer.
“ That was creepy,” he told the twins when they moved in sync. “ So why are you both still in bed? It’s…” he looks at his watch. “ already noon.”
“ How would you feel being a granddad,” Wanda asks, taking the archer back. “ Or would you prefer being an uncle?”
“ What?” Clint asks, confused. “ What do you mean?”
“ Congrats old man, you’re gonna be a grandpa,” Pietro says. “ You didn’t see that coming.” Clint freezes because that means Wanda’s pregnant. That’s the only possible explanation. He considers Nat as his sister and Nat can’t get pregnant which only leaves Wanda who he considers like a daughter.
“ You’re pregnant?” For some reason, that question made Wanda really emotional. Tears started running down her cheeks as she nodded her head.
“ What's wrong? Sweetheart?” Clint asks, wiping her tears away.
“ You don’t like me anymore,” the witch says.
“ What that’s not true, we’re family and family is forever, Wands,” Clint pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back. He knew the pregnancy hormones were probably acting up so he was kinda familiar with what to do when that happens. He thought he was done dealing with pregnancy hormones after Nate was born but fate has other plans.
“ Does anyone else know?” Clint asks.
“ No, you and Doctor Cho are the only ones who know,” Pietro answers.
“ The father?” the archer asks. Pietro shrugs his shoulders letting his twin explain.
“ It could be anyone for all I know, it was a Hydra experiment,” Wanda says. “ They were pretty confident about it working.”
“ What do you mean?”
“ Hydra had this device that allowed them to turn blood into either an egg or sperm,” Wanda explained. “ They turned my blood into 2 eggs while they turned 3 other blood into sperms. I think they mixed 2 of the sperms together to fertilize one egg and the 3rd one to fertilize the other egg.”
“ What would that gain them?” Clint asks which got them all thinking.
“ Us,” Wanda and Clint looked at the speedster confused.
“ Explain,”
“ They must have been trying to make twins like us and you’re the best chance of that because you’re a twin. But I don’t think they were confident that you’d give birth to twins so they fertilized 2 eggs and put it in you,” the platinum silver-haired speedster explained. “ They’re probably hoping that you’d passed your powers to them, that’s the only thing that makes sense.”
“ Woah, right, which is probably why they were determined to keep you healthy and make sure your body would be able to handle a pregnancy,” Clint says, catching on Pietro’s train thought. “ We have to do everything in our power to keep her and the babies safe and away from Hydra’s reach.”
“ I think she should come home with us, it’s safer for them,” Wanda glared at Pietro. “ I’m just stating the fact, sister. This is no place to raise kids and I will not lose any of you because of your stubbornness of wanting to stay here where anything could happen to you and them.”
“ I can’t leave the team,” she says.
“ It's not forever Wands, just until the twins are born,” Clint says.
“ Okay fine,” Wanda gave in knowing that she won’t be able to change their minds especially now that they know about her precious cargo.
Natasha and Steve were confused as to why Helen put Wanda on time out on training and missions. They tried asking the doctor but all Helen would say was confidential reasons which really annoyed Natasha. Sure she and Wanda hadn’t had the best start but she thought that they were making progress, that Wanda trusted to tell her things but apparently not. Instead, the little witch goes to her best friend. Natasha gets but also doesn’t get her best friend’s relationship with the Maximoff twins. She gets that they found a home in his family, on his farm but what she doesn’t get is the utter trust in him. I mean sure she completely utterly trusts him now but that took years but the Maximoff twins trusted in him too immediately. Okay maybe it’s her jealousy speaking but still, she thought Wanda would have told her what’s going on with her. Natasha was currently in the common room drawing with Steve. As bizarre as that sounds, they’re drawing the kid in their dreams. All 3 of them, Bucky, Steve, and herself had been having recurring dreams of the girl for Natasha and the boy for the couple. Some dreams were happy, some were sad and some were nightmares that woke them.
“ What are you guys doing?” Sam’s voice startled Steve while Natasha was aware of his footsteps coming towards them.
“ Tactics on many different ways to kill, Wilson,” Natasha replied, not bothering to look up at the man as she continued her drawing with a smirk dancing on her lips.
“ You are a dangerous woman Romanoff you know that,” Sam says making his way to the kitchen to make a sandwich.
“ Isn’t that why I’m the most feared woman besides I’m not called the Black Widow for no reason,” She answers finishing up her drawing.
“ I suppose, has anyone seen Red lately?” Sam munched on his sandwich as he sat down on one of the couches.
“ She went home with Clint and Pietro,” answered Natasha then grabbed Steve’s attention. “ You done?”
“ Yea,” Steve placed his pencil down. “ Wanna see?” Natasha nods her head. She wants to know what the boy looks like. She was surprised to see how detailed he was and how he even wrote little information on the side like ‘ he has Wanda’s eye shape but Bucky’s eye color’ or ‘ he has the same nose as me but has Wanda’s mouth shape.’
“ Wow you went all out on this,” she comments. Steve looks at her sheepishly. He wanted to get every detail of his and Bucky’s son even if it’s from a dream.
“ They look like twins or at least related,” Sam comments upon seeing the drawings.
“ What?” Natasha and Steve’s head snapped up to look at him. “ What do you mean?”
“ Stop that, I already have to deal with the twins doing that around here. I don’t need you two doing it too,” Sam says, a bit freaked out by their synchronized movements and talking.
“ Aww feeling left out,” Natasha teased, to which he just responded by flipping her off.
“ No, but what I meant is that those two have the same eye and mouth shape,” he says, putting the two drawing side by side.
“ The girl looks like you Nat but also like Wanda,” Sam comments. “ Who is she?”
“ I don’t know,” she answers. For some reason she hasn’t learned her daughter’s name yet which really annoys her since she really wants to know her name.
“ Who’s the boy?” Sam asks.
“ James,” Natasha and Sam looked at the Captain for two different reasons. For Natasha, it's a shock because Steve knows his son’s name and he didn’t tell her while for Sam it was confusion.
“ As in Bucky?” he asks and Steve shakes his head.
“ No, as in that’s his name,” Steve answers. “ His name is James Peggy.”
“ You knew your son’s name this entire time?” Natasha asks, slipping up.
“ Son?” Sam asks. “ Wait, can someone explain what’s going on?”
“ No, it doesn’t involve you,” Natasha snapped. “ How could you not tell me?”
“ We only learned it last night, I thought you knew yours,” Steve says. “ Did not?” The widow shook her head, no.
“ Maybe tonight?” Steve says optimistically. Natasha just shrugged her shoulders, she has no control of her dreams, so maybe she’ll learn her daughter’s name or maybe she won’t.
“ Pietro, I think something is wrong with the twins,” Wanda called from downstairs. In a second, Pietro was there by her side, looking at her for any injuries. They were at the farm for the remainder of her pregnancy and Wanda had been on the couch watching Full House when she suddenly felt coldness on one side of her stomach and heat on the other side, prompting her to call for her brother in concern.
“ What’s wrong?” He asks. “ Also, did you... how do the Americans say it, ‘pop’?” Her stomach looked bigger than last night.
“ I think so,” she says. “ But here, feel it.” She took one of his hands and placed it on one side of her stomach where one of the twins was. Pietro drew back his hand in surprise.
“ It’s cold,” he says, placing it back on her stomach. Confusion was written all over his face. “ I’ll get Clint, maybe it’s normal?” A blue streak replaced him as he ran to go get Clint who was currently in the shed fixing something up.
“ Hey kid what’s up?” Clint looked up to see a panicked Pietro. “ Hey what’s wrong?”
“ The twins,” that got Clint running back to the house along with Pietro.
“ What’s wrong with the twins?” Clint asks once he reaches Wanda. “ Also wow you popped last night.”
“ I don’t know what’s wrong, but I think something is,” Wanda says, extending her hand towards the archer for him to grab, which he did. She then placed his hand in the same place she placed Pietro’s hand a minute ago. He too had the same reaction as Pietro’s.
“ We need to fly back to New York to have you checked out by Helen,” Clint says. “ As much as I trust the doctors here, they’ve never seen anything like your pregnancy before and it’s safer if we have you checked out by someone who is used to seeing unique things.” The twins nodded their heads.
“ Piet, I want you to stay with Laura and the kids,” Clint says and Pietro seemed like he was gonna argue but Clint looked at him with a stern look that said that it was not up for debate. “ I know you want to come but Laura needs help here, I promise I’ll call every hour to update you. Deal?”
“ Deal,” Pietro says. After telling Laura the plan, Clint and Wanda set out to go to New York.
“ I think I know who’s blood they turned into sperms,” Wanda spoke after Clint got the jet on autopilot. He sits down next to the pregnant witch.
“ Really?” The witch nods her head.
“ I kept having recurring dreams of the twins and don’t tell Pietro he won the bet,” Wanda says.
“ Wait, I'm gonna have a granddaughter and grandson?” Clint asks, eyes tearing up a bit. Wanda nods her head.
“ Which means we own Piet and Laura 20 bucks each,” Wanda says, slightly bitter that she would have to lose $20 but she’s happy that she’s gonna have a daughter and son.
“ I don’t mind but continue about your dreams,” Clint was curious as to who the father of the twins was.
“ I’m pretty sure my daughter is also Natasha’s daughter and my son is also Bucky and Steve’s son,” Wanda revealed. Clint did not see that coming.
“ What?”
“ Yea, I know right,” Wanda says in disbelief as well. “ I mean it kinda makes sense, they’re 3 super soldiers, and I’m a witch, the kids' genes would be good especially if I pass on my power genes.”
“ It does make sense but how did they get Nat’s blood and also wait that means Nat is gonna be a mom,” Clint says his mind going into overdrive trying to comprehend everything.
“ And Bucky and Steve are gonna be dads,” Wanda finished. Wanda recalled all of her dreams about the twins to the archer by letting him into her mind.
“ We should get Helen to get a DNA test on both the twins,” Clint says. “ That way we can be sure and have proof you know just encase.”
“ Yea,” Wanda agreed. They only had 5 minutes before landing so Wanda decided to get some shut eyes.
“ Hey, Wands, we’re here,” Clint gently woke the sleeping witch up. Thankfully Clint called ahead to inform Helen, so when they got out they were met with a hospital cot bed for Wanda. Once Wanda was set in, Doctor Cho started assessing the witch and the babies.
“ I think the twins have powers, opposite of each other,” Helen says, looking at the screen. “ Baby A seems to have cold powers while Baby B has hot powers.” Clint and Wanda look at each other surprised. “ Also it seems that you’re 33 weeks pregnant which should be impossible.”
“ I’m supposed to be 25 weeks pregnant, surely you’re mistaken,” Wanda says.
“ Your pregnancy seems to have exceeded faster than normal pregnancy,” Helen says. “ We don’t know anything about how pregnancy is with your case since we have never faced it before. So anything is possible I suppose.”
“ Great, now I only have about 3 weeks if the twins decide to be born in 3 weeks,” Wanda groans. “ I’m not prepared, I have to pack the hospital bags and I have so many things to do before they’re born.”
“ Hey, little witch, breathe, we’ll get everything done before they’re born, I promise,” Clint says, placing a hand on the witch’s shoulder to ground her. He was panicking as well because well he didn’t expect that Wanda would reach the end of her pregnancy so soon. They thought they had at least a bit more time before they welcomed the twins into the world. Wanda couldn’t go back to the farm until the twins were born to avoid any complications plus it wasn’t safe for her and the babies to travel so she was given a room in the maternity ward that was rarely used.
“ I’m gonna call Pietro to give him the update, you should rest,” Clint says. Wanda didn’t argue with him because she was exhausted for some reason even though she didn’t do much. Clint had stepped out of the room to give her privacy and so he could call Laura and Pietro to tell them the news. He made his way to the upstairs where the common room was and made the call.
[Roadrunner]
How are they?
[Old man]
Hello to you too
[Roadrunner]
Sorry, hello, how are they?
[Old man]
Hey, they’re doing okay, the twins have powers
[Roadrunner]
What really? That’s amazing, do you know what kind? Are they like mine and Wands?
[Old man]
One question at a time speedster, yes, yes, and no. Their powers are cold and hot. Baby A has cold powers while Baby B has hot powers
[Roadrunner]
Woah, well how’s Wanda doing?
[Old man]
That’s why I’m calling, so apparently due to her being enhanced, her pregnancy was sped up. While she’s supposed to be 25 weeks pregnant, she’s 33 weeks pregnant so that means we have to get everything ready in 3 weeks.
[Roadrunner]
I don’t understand. You’re saying that my niece and nephew are coming to the world in 3 weeks?
[Old man]
Pretty much so I need to finish up the nursery. I’m sorry I know this isn’t ideal but we’re kinda given a deadline now
[Roadrunner]
I’ll get it done, I promise but you’ll call if her pregnancy speeds up more, yes?
[Old man]
Yes. I’ll pick you guys up so you guys can be here for your niece and nephew and before you brag about being right, yes you won the bet. You’re gonna have a niece and nephew.
[Roadrunner]
You and Wands owe me and Laura $20 bucks each! Also, has Wands picked out a name for the twins, I need names if I plan on doing the wood name signs
[Old man]
Actually yes, she wanted me to tell you that your niece’s name will be Alexandria Iryna and your nephew’s name will be James Peggy
Clint was actually surprised when Wanda revealed the name of the twins to him. She explained that those were the names the twins in her dream had so she decided to follow that dream and gave them that name. Clint understood why the boy’s name would be the way it is since he’s Bucky and Steve’s son but it’s the girl’s name that got him curious because he can’t imagine Natasha naming her daughter just a random name so that name must have meaning to her but what that’s what he’s curious about.
[Roadrunner]
Okay, I’ll get started on it. Tell my sister the names are lovely
[Old man]
You got it, dude
He hangs up and calls Laura. Meanwhile, Pietro is rushing around the house, trying to set up the nursery. Luckily most of it was done since it's Nate’s bedroom so, that means 3 kids would be sharing the room. https://designwithfriends.com/editor/6111496f89edb77ef0de006c?a=sh&d=d (How the bedroom/nursery would look like).
Pietro was pretty proud of what he accomplished in nearly 10 hours. He knew Wanda would love it as well. He was also thankful that Nate’s room didn’t need repainting. All he had to do was build the crib that the twins would be sharing for now until they’re too big to share one, put up decoration, and put in the changing table. The bedroom/nursery was simple but very pleasing. It didn’t look like a girl room nor a boy room but gender neutral which he loved about since he wouldn’t want his niece to feel excluded since it was going to be her room too. He took a picture of the finished room and sent it to his sister and Clint who praised him for his work. It made him feel proud of himself when he got Clint’s approval and when the older man praised him, a feeling that only a parent was capable of bringing.
The next 3 weeks were chaotic, to say the least. Wanda’s powers kept going haywire. It wasn’t the normal kind of haywire though nor were her powers just her powers. Apparently, she not only has her powers but she also currently has her daughters and sons. The first time she realized that she had them was when she was getting angry at some tv show that she was watching with Clint and she had accidentally dropped the temperature. She didn’t notice until Clint had pointed out that it was freezing in the room. They had Doctor Cho check it out and was told that Wanda somehow attained her children’s powers. She said that it would go away once she gives birth to them. Fortunately but also not, she’ll be giving birth soon so she doesn't have to worry about needing to learn how to control them just as long as she’s calm and relaxed. Clint decided to bring his family to the compound to help Wanda and the babies. The babies seem to love the kids' presence because they would kick whenever they heard their voices. It made sense though because, for the last 3 months, the kids had done nothing but stayed by her side. They actually had some sort of routine. Lila would read bedtime stories to the twins at night while Cooper either played the guitar or piano for the twins. Nate would babble for hours at her stomach with his hands pressed against them feeling the twins kick which would always make him excited. Wanda was glad that she didn’t have to face this pregnancy alone and that she had the Bartons and her brother there to help her out. She doesn’t actually know how to tell the current object of her affection, Natasha, that she’s going to be having her daughter nor does she know how to tell Captain America and his best friend, Bucky, that she’s going to have their son. Because if we’re being honest how does one even tell someone that? Hey, I’m pregnant with your guys’ children, yea, I know that you’re a woman but somehow I’m still having your kid. And we had never had sex together but still, somehow I’m having your son. Like seriously, she would sound crazy if it wasn’t true.
“ Wanda?” She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Lila’s voice and felt the twins kick upon hearing the young Barton’s voice.
“ What’s up, мало сунце?” (Serbian- meaning: Little sunshine), she answers.
“ Can I?” Lila asks, her hand reaching towards Wanda’s pregnant stomach.
“ Of course, мало сунце,” Wanda says, sitting down comfortably so Lila was comfortable as well.
“ Hello, Lexie and Jamie, I’m Lila!” the 7-year-old greeted chirpily. Wanda had an amused look on her face upon hearing what Lila called them. Lila’s face lit up when the twins kicked in response. Wanda just let her play with the twins while she read. Lila would poke one part of her stomach and the twins would kick the same area.
“ Lila, Wands, dinner is ready,” Pietro’s voice ripped through the room, forcing Wanda to groan as she was just getting to the good part of the book she was reading.
“ Who cooked?” Wanda asked.
“ Laura,”
“ Perfect, come on мало сунце, you can talk to the twins later after,” Wanda says upon seeing Lila about to protest.
“ Okay,” Pietro helped his sister up as Lila went on ahead.
“ How are my little niece and nephew?” Pietro asks as they walk towards the common room.
“ Lively, they love the kids’ if by the way they kick whenever they’re around, say anything,” Wanda says.
“ Hey guys,” Clint greets them once they reach the dining room. He hugs Wanda and then places a hand on her stomach to feel the twins kick before going back to the table. Laura follows after him, hugging her and then placing a hand on her stomach to feel the twins kick. She was used to them doing that, it actually warms her heart that Clint and Laura want to interact with the twins even if they aren’t born yet. They of course asked her first to touch her stomach making sure it was comfortable to her which she said it was okay for them to if they wish. Cooper follows his parents, hugging her then touching her stomach to feel the twins kick. Seeing the kids’ faces light up whenever the twins kick always made her smile. Dinner went well, the kids talked about school and sports while the adults just listened to them with a fond smile on their faces.
Wanda woke drenched and apparently not just her when she opened her eyes and saw her twin and the Bartons.
“ What happened?” She ask, her accent more prominent due to just waking up.
“ It started raining inside!” Lila exclaimed happily. Wanda frowned. It can’t rain inside.
“ I’m pretty sure that your water broke sestra,” Pietro says. Wanda looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “ You’re the only one here that’s probably capable of making it in here plus I felt your contraction.” The moment he finished saying that, Wanda felt a contraction and man was it a bitch.
“ Okay, yea I’m definitely going into labor,” Wanda says, breathing deeply and that made everyone panic. “ Unless any of you guys know how to deliver a baby, I suggest you guys call Doctor Cho because contractions are coming in like crazy.”
“ Right! F.R.I.D.A.Y. inform Helen that Wanda broke her water and needs medical attention,” Clint says.
“ Right away, Mr. Barton,” F.R.I.D.A.Y. replied. A group of doctors comes into the room, rolling it a hospital bed to put Wanda on so they can roll her to the med bay so Dr. Cho can deliver the twins. Let’s just say that there was a lot of screaming, mainly from Wanda.

A loud cry rippled through the room with another cry following it. Wanda looked towards the door where her brother was rolling in a cot that held his niece and nephew.
“ Hey,” She greets them as she adjusts her bed so it was a bit raised.
“ Hey,” Pietro greets her while picking up his nephew to hand to his mother. “ They missed you.”
“ I missed them too,” Wanda says, looking at her son with a soft smile gracing her face. “ He’s perfect.” She let’s an index finger gaze at his cheeks. Then she looked up to see her brother with her daughter. “ She’s perfect too.” Pietro put his niece in his sister’s arms as well so their mother could hold them both. He pulled out his phone to take a picture of them well a couple of pictures of them. Due to Wanda already having her time with the twins alone, Dr. Cho allowed the Bartons to enter the room at Wanda's request to let them in.
“ Oh Wanda, they’re beautiful,” Laura cooed.
“ Thank you, would you like to hold them?” the tired witch asked, her accent becoming thicker due to tiredness. The older woman nods her head, taking the closest baby to her which happened to be the baby girl.
“ Meet Alexandria Iryna Romanova-Maximoff,” Laura was shocked to hear her husband’s best friend’s last name be included in the baby girl’s name.
“ Romanova?” Laura asks curiously.
“ Yea, she’s not just my daughter but also Nat’s so I thought that her last name should be part of her daughter you know?” Wanda answers.
“ Yea I do,” Laura says, kissing the baby Alexandria’s head. She then switches with Wanda so she could hold the baby boy.
“ That’s James Peggy Rogers-Barnes-Maximoff,”
“ This kid's gonna have a bit of a complicated childhood,” Laura comments, which she isn’t wrong. He has 2 biological fathers and a biological mother.
“ Agreed,” Pietro says. When the kids asked if they could hold the newborns, they were sat down and were taught to hold them correctly so they don’t drop them or injure them. Both Pietro and Laura took plenty of photos of the kids holding the newborns while Wanda watched with happy tears blurring her sight and a smile gracing her lips. She couldn’t be happier to finally be able to hold them and not to have to be pregnant. It was worth it. She thought.
“ Come on boys, it’s time to shut this operation down once and for all,” Natasha says, a smirk dancing on her lips when she caught sight of Steve and Bucky a bit carried away with each other. “ You guys can do that once we go home.”
“ You’re terrible,” Bucky scowls.
“ I know,” She says glee dancing in her eyes. They were sent on a mission that lasted 5 months, so now they were anxious to go back home. Their mission was to take down a mafia that was selling illegal, dangerous weapons. Now they just have to collect the weapons and send them to Fury and Maria Hill. It was pretty simple, and they got it done in 5 minutes thanks to their inside man. They arrived at the compound mid-afternoon. They all immediately picked up that something was different. When they entered the compound, Natasha immediately said, “ What the hell?”
