Free Spirit, Chapter 1: It's Busy Being Royal
Summary: After a long awaited Visit from the Wakandan Royal Family doesn’t go quite as well as they’d hoped, Queen Wanda and King Vision escape to their special spring in the woods for some much needed relaxation. While there, they conceive their much longed-for third child.
Vivian is a born tomboy, and by age seven prefers swords to dolls, but charms all who meet her. When the Wakandans pass through for another visit, it turns out the free-spirited Princess Viv may be just what Sokovia needs to help win them over.
Sequel to ‘A Legend All Their Own’.

Tumblr media
The Kingdom of Sokovia was thriving. It hadn't always been that way. For quite some time, Sokovia had been a dark place, trapped under the rule of the wicked King Ultron..
Until the rightful heir to the throne, Princess Wanda, also the Scarlet Witch of Legend, had escaped Utron's clutches with the help of Vision, a reluctant thief, and befriended noble outlaws the Avengers.
Wanda had eventually fallen for Vision, and after a number of adventures and help from a few new allies, Wanda defeated Ultron and reclaimed the throne of Sokovia. Vision ruled at her side, and they soon welcomed twin sons, the Princes Thomas and William, affectionately known as Tommy and Billy, who definitely had not been conceived before the Wedding..
Anyway, by now, the royal twins had recently celebrated their sixth Birthday.
For the most part, the people of Sokovia were pleased with their new rulers. Running a Kingdom was difficult, but Wanda and Vision managed okay. --
Early one morning in the Royal Bedchamber, as most of the castle was just beginning to rise for the new day, King Vision was attempting to wake his Queen with a shower of kisses over her body.
"Mmm.." Queen Wanda slowly stirred, but didn't open her eyes just yet, allowing herself a moment to enjoy her husband's attention. However, as much as she would have loved to let him continue, as glad as she was that the passion had not gone out of their marriage as they came up on the dreaded seven year itch, she had to stop him when his hands slipped under her nightdress. "Vizh.."
"You asked me to wake you up.." Vision murmured, kissing her neck, "And you feel a little tense.. I thought I could help."
"You could, and I would love that, but we haven't got time" Wanda sighed, reluctantly pushing his hands away as she sat up. "King T'Chaka and his family are arriving in two days, and there's still so much to get ready..I can't mess this up."
"I know.." Vision sighed, sitting up as well.
Vision knew that the upcoming diplomatic visit of King T'Chaka, his Queen Ramonda, and their children, Prince T'Challa and Princess Shuri, was important for Wanda, and possibly the most important event in Sokovia as a whole since the birth of their twin sons.
When Wanda's parents had been in power, Sokovia had shared a comfortable alliance with Wakanda, but after Ultron took the throne, relations between the two nations became increasingly uneasy. Thanks to the significant distance between Sokovia things had never turned openly hostile, although this had been about to change. Wakanda was rich in natural resources, including a rare metal known as vibranium. Upon examining Ultron's papers after taking back Sokovia, Captain Steve Rogers, a member of the Avengers and now head of Wanda and Vision's military, had discovered that Ultron had been about to sign an order for the Sokovian army to invade Wakanda and seize their vibranium stores. The only thing thad had stopped him was Wanda's unexpected rebellion.
While there was no way Wakanda could have known this, they were a suspicious people by nature, protective of what they had, and nervous about sharing it. It had taken most of Wanda's reign so far, along with character references from the entire Asgardian royal family, to convince T'Chaka to come to the table with Wanda and discuss a potential renewal of their alliance.
Wanda had fought one war in her lifetime, and one was enough. She was determined to put to rest any remaining unease between Sokovia and it's neighbouring lands.. And whatever Queen Wanda wanted, King Vision was determined to make sure she got it.
Unfortunately, the upcoming royal visit wasn't their only responsibility.
"And somewhere in the middle of all that" Wanda continued, as if reading Vision's mind, "I promised Tommy I'd watch him race Peter, and we also promised Billy that we'd read a story to him and Teddy.. Teddy's a nice kid."
"He is" Vision agreed.
Teddy was Billy's best friend. About a year older than the twins, sweet and polite, but big for his age. Vision saw this as a good thing, because Teddy's presence made potential bullies think twice about messing with Billy, who had always been the more sensitive of the twin Princes.
"But if we're not too exhausted tonight.." Wanda kissed Vision's cheek as she got up to dress, "Maybe we can.."
"Don't worry about it" Vision didn't like seeing Wanda stressed, and hated the idea that he could have added to it. "Ahem.. 'Alone time' is the least of our worries right now. But when this visit is over, I'm taking you to our spring for some rest and relaxation."
"Mmm.." Wanda sighed happily. "I like the sound of that."
"Me too.. so, what's first on our itinerary?"
"A security check with Steve, reviewing the menus for the visit.. We should probably watch Tommy race before lunch, so he doesn't try to run on an empty stomach.."
"Do you think he's got a chance to win?" Vision asked, hunting for his trousers.
"Fair and square? Not yet" Wanda chuckled, "But Peter might let him win. He's a softie with the kids.."

In Happy Times, Our Love Does Grow, Chapter 51: Familie
Summary: Wanda helps Viv spoil Vision on Father's Day.
Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20601530/chapters/59065693
Vision returned home sometime later, to what he thought had to be the most adorable sight in the Universe.
Viv had fallen asleep on the couch, curled into Wanda's side, Wanda's arm draped gently but protectively around her. Wanda was watching TV, but she hadn't changed the channel from the cartoons that Viv had been watching. She was laughing at something on the screen (softly, so as not to wake Viv), her green eyes sparkling, alight with a childlike joy that he had not seen before.
It was beautiful, she was beautiful, and Vision couldn't help just staring for a moment, admiring, until Wanda noticed his presence and hurriedly changed the channel, looking a little embarrassed.
"I didn't realise she'd fallen asleep.."
"There's no need to be embarrassed" Vision said quietly as he moved to sit beside her. "We all like to get in touch with our inner child sometimes, don't we?"
"I suppose so" Wanda shifted, almost instinctively now, to rest her head on Vision's shoulder, while still keeping one arm around the sleeping Viv.
"What were you watching?"
"I don't actually know" Wanda chuckled. "I didn't watch enough cartoons as a kid to recognise any of them, and I'm even less in-tune with whatever's popular now.. It was funny, though. How'd the party go, and your meeting?"
"Quite well" Vision replied. "The little ones seemed to have fun, and I've booked another appearance. Again, I'm sorry if I interrupted your.."
"Vizh, it's fine. I'm happy to watch Viv any time you need me to, she's.." Wanda trailed off, blushing. She may have been getting a little ahead of herself.. She was almost definitely getting ahead of herself.
"She's what?" Vision gently prodded.
"Well.." Wanda hesitated again, but only for a moment. "You don't ever have to treat asking me to watch Viv like it's an inconvenience. I like spending time with her. We.. we could be familie.. family, one day.."
Wanda was worried that that might have been too much, but then Vision kissed her, softly, lovingly, the kind of kiss that made her sigh in contentment, her heart soar, eyelids drifting shut. And when she opened them again, she wasn't sure how much later, Vision was smiling at her, a sweet, shy little smile.
"You're right, Wanda. You are exactly right. It's just.." He blushed a little, which most people wouldn't have seen beneath his make up, but Wanda knew him well enough now that she could tell that he was. "Well, it has just been Vivian and I for a long time. Sharing responsibility for her isn't something I'm used to.. It might take me a while."
"Take all the time you need, Vizh" Wanda settled back against his shoulder. "Just know that I have no problem helping out when you need it. I won't pretend I'm an expert in childcare or anything, because I'm not, but.. Maybe you don't have to do everything by yourself."
"Maybe I don't" Vision smiled softly, kissing Wanda's cheek. --
Viv soon recovered from her cold, and went back to school. When the day of the School's Father's Day stall arrived, Vision pressed a five-dollar bill into his daughter's hand as he dropped her off, but was surprised when she immediately handed it back to him.
"It's okay, Daddy. Wanda already gave me Father's Day money."
"She did?" Vision blinked, surprised.
"Uh-huh.." Viv sprinted off to the entrance of the School building before he could object, and without mentioning that Wanda had given her more money than he would have. Vision was quite averse to spending money on himself, even for Father's Day. "Bye, Daddy!"
"Oh.. Goodbye, Vivian. I'll see you after school!" --
Viv returned home that day with a slightly larger bag of gifts than she had at any of her daycare or Preschool stalls. She hid it quite quickly, and Vision chose not to comment on it.
However, he couldn't help thinking of Wanda, of her ever-strengthening relationship with Viv.. the thought made him smile, along with causing a special, warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart. --
Wanda slept over the night before Father's Day.. the two nights before Father's Day, actually. This wasn't unusual.. it had become the norm for Wanda to sleep over at Vision's on Friday and Saturday nights. He was getting very used to having her close, used to waking up to the wonderful, warm feeling of her in his arms.
So used to it, in fact, that Vision found himself missing Wanda quite dreadfully during the week, and counting down the days until her next visit. He almost would have asked her to move in, except that that would be a very big step for a couple taking it slow.
The main point of all this, really, is to establish that Vision had become quite keenly aware of Wanda's presence. When she was there, and when she was not. Therefore, when he woke that Sunday morning without Wanda in his arms, Vision had been very confused, because she never usually woke up before him.. until he heard bustling activity downstairs, heard Viv's voice and Wanda's, smelled bacon and eggs frying, bread toasting.. And remembered that this was not supposed to be an ordinary Sunday.
Vision lay quietly for a few minutes, a small smile on his face, until Viv burst into the room carrying a stack of wrapped gifts, including a large rectangular parcel he hadn't seen before.
"Happy Father's Day, Daddy!" She tried to push the gifts into his hands.
"Hang on, Fata dulce. We should probably let your Daddy eat breakfast first." Wanda followed behind her with a tray of toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and a cup of tea, carefully positioning the tray on Vision's lap.
"Oh.. yeah, I guess.."
"Happy Father's day, Vizh.."
"Thank you" Vision flashed them both a bright smile. He wasn't used to being this spoiled, mostly because Viv was not old enough to spoil him on her own. "Mmm, it smells delicious.."
After Vision had eaten his Father's Day breakfast, Viv was once again eager to get to the gift giving part of proceedings.
"Open this one first, Daddy" She handed him the larger rectangular parcel. "It's special.."
"I hope nobody spent too much money.." Vision frowned slightly.
"No" Wanda, perched on the edge of the bed, tugged Viv to sit in her lap. "Open it."
Vision tore open the parcel to reveal the now framed sketch of Viv.
"Oh.. This is beautiful."
"Do you like it, Daddy?" Viv grinned.
"I love it" He managed to tug his eyes away. "Wanda, did you draw this?"
"Yeah.. just a spur of the moment sketch.. nothing special."
"I think it is very special.. Thank you."
"You're welcome.." Wanda blushed, and Viv giggled, the sweetest giggle..
Vision loved them, both of them, so much, and he couldn't help thinking.. What was that word Wanda used?
Familie. Family.
They would be, one day. There was no 'maybe' in the equation.

In Happy Times, Our Love Does Grow, Chapter 50: Muse
Summary: Wanda babysits Viv when she has a cold.
Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20601530/chapters/58730557
After their big step, Wanda and Vision entered a sort of post-lovemaking honeymoon period. They got quite giggly around each other, often prompting Viv to give them one of her 'grown-ups are weird' looks. They were less shy about being physically affectionate with each other, stealing extra kisses and gentle touches.
Once or twice, their visits to Wanda's apartment after her art class may have ended up involving a little less clothes than they had before, and sometimes, seeing as Vision was a little less experienced than Wanda was, she would, well, teach him things. But unlike any of the other men Wanda had been with, Vision actually listened, as eager to satisfy her as he was to find his own pleasure.. Perhaps even more so.
Otherwise, nothing really changed much. Wanda caught up with Vision for lunch a few times a week, stayed with he and Viv on weekends. The couple had found and settled into their normal, and they were happy.
In fact, Wanda was just about happier than she had ever been in her life. --
One weekday morning, probably a week or two before Father's Day, Wanda received a call from Vision, which she quickly answered. He sounded a little flustered.
"H-Hello, Wanda.."
"Hey, Vizh" Wanda frowned, swallowing a mouthful of cereal. "Is something wrong?"
"No.. well, maybe. You're off work today, aren't you?"
"Yeah.. Why?"
"Vivian has come down with a slight cold. Nothing serious, but bad enough that I can't send her to school. Could you come by and mind her? It would just be for a few hours.. I have a party this morning and it's much too late to cancel, and then a meeting about another that I probably shouldn't miss.."
"Sure" Wanda finished her cereal, taking the bowl to the sink to rinse it. She had planned to work on a project for her art class today, but there was no reason why she couldn't take her art supplies with her and work at Vision's house. "I can be there in about fifteen minutes, is that okay?"
"That is perfect. You are perfect. Thank you, I love you so much!"
"I love you too, Vizh. See you soon." Wanda smiled softly as she hung up. Even though she had heard it quite a few times now, she still got a little thrill whenever Vision told her he loved her. --
Vision, already dressed in his hero gear, raced out the door almost as soon as Wanda arrived, stopping just long enough to steal a quick kiss.
"Thank you so much for this" He told her quickly. "Viv's tucked up on the sofa, she can watch as much TV as she likes while she's ill, and there's chicken soup in the kitchen for her lunch. Help yourself to anything, anything at all. I'll only be gone a few hours, I promise.."
Wanda chuckled, silencing him with another quick kiss.
"Take all the time you need Vizh, Viv and I will be fine. Now go, or you'll be late."
"Right. Thank you again.. I love you!" He rushed to the car, his cape streaming behind him.
"I love you too!" Wanda laughed, waiting until the car was out of sight before she headed inside.
Her heart immediately melted at the sight of poor sick little Viv on the sofa, still in her pyjamas, a blanket around her shoulders and Rocket Raccoon in her arms. A box of tissues sat beside her. Despite her illness, the little girl's eyes lit up when she saw Wanda.
"Hi, Wanda" Viv smiled, sniffling a little.
"Hello, Fata Dulce." Wanda gently ruffled her hair after setting down her bag. "Your Daddy asked me to come look after you for a bit. I hear you have a little rece.. That means 'cold'."
"Uh-huh" Viv nodded. "Daddy said I can watch as much TV as I want while I'm sick!"
"I know" Wanda sat beside her, gathering some of her supplies from her bag. "I'm going to do a bit of work for my art class, but if you need anything, you let me know, okay?"
"Okay." --
Wanda had fully intended to work on her art class project.. something to do with light and shade and negative space. But her muse, apparently, had other ideas. She had given into said muse so completely that it was nearly an hour later before Wanda realised that, rather than colour and shade and negative space, she'd ended up with a sketch of Viv snuggled on the couch, drawn with some of her favourite watercolour pencils. And although it was not at all what she was supposed to be doing, Wanda couldn't help smiling at the end result.
She left the sketch when she went to fetch Viv's chicken soup a short while later, and returned to find the little girl staring at it, somewhat awed.
"Wanda, why'd you draw me for your art class?"
"I didn't" Wanda chuckled, handing Viv her soup on a small tray. "Not really.."
"But you said.." Viv was confused.
"I know, and I was supposed to be drawing something for art class, but my muse made me draw you instead."
"Oh.." Viv sipped her soup, sniffling again. "Wanda?"
"Yes, Fata dulce?"
"What's a muse?"
"A muse is where someone's inspiration comes from" Wanda explained. "Your Daddy probably has one for writing."
"Daddy writes lots more now."
"Does he?" Wanda smirked.
"Mmhm.." Viv looked at the sketch again. "That's a real pretty drawing, Wanda. Can I keep it to give to Daddy on Father's Day?"
"Of course" Wanda smiled, quite touched. "How about I hang on to it for you until then? I might even be able to find a nice frame to put it in."
"Yeah!" Viv nodded eagerly. "Now I just got to get a card, and maybe something little from the Father's Day Stall at school next week.."
"I remember those" Wanda thought for a moment, chuckling, then reached for her bag to dig in her purse, pulling out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to Viv. "Take this and get him something nice from both of us." It didn't occur to her that giving Viv Father's day money was a very motherly task.
"Really?" Viv's eyes lit up.
"Really. But first, you have to eat your soup so you can feel better."
"Okay, Wanda."
As Viv happily ate her chicken soup, Wanda slipped the sketch into a plastic sleeve to safely transport it home. She had another couple of hours before Vision was due to return.. Plenty of time to get stuck back into her art project, if she wanted.
Instead, she found herself shuffling closer to Viv on the sofa, draping an arm around the little girl's shoulders. Negative space could wait.

In Happy Times, Our Love Does Grow, Chapter 45: What Makes It Special
Summary: Wanda and Vision enjoy some alone time.
Ao3 link:https://archiveofourown.org/works/20601530/chapters/57144487#workskin
Wanda dreamed of Vision more, now. Not always naughty dreams, although she still had her fair share of those. Sometimes she dreamed of the two of them playing with Viv. Cuddling on the sofa. Walking in the park. The everyday things that became so special when she was doing them with him.
The so-called 'naughty' dreams, when they did come, didn't bother Wanda quite as much as they once had. Because, well, she and Vision were in a rather committed relationship now, and though they were still happily taking it slow, it wasn't wrong to expect that the things she sometimes saw in her dreams would come eventually, right?
And, slowly, she and Vision were becoming more comfortable being physically affectionate with each other. If Vivian was around, it was just little pecks and cuddles, but recently, the couple had been finding opportunities for a bit more alone time. --
Wanda usually walked to her weekly art class, and if Vision wasn't working, he would pick her up when the class was over. Vision often had a couple of hours to spare before he needed to pick up Viv from School, so he and Wanda would either grab a quick bite to eat, or sometimes, hang out for a while at Wanda's apartment.
Given that Wanda's apartment was one of the few places that the couple could be truly alone, it had become a little love-nest of sorts, and considering the aforementioned increasing comfort with physical affection, their 'hanging out' often translated to 'making out like teenagers'. Due to the happily taking things slow, these sessions of alone time didn't go any further than said making out.
However, as time went on, and Wanda and Vision grew more confident, less shy with each other, sometimes their hands would wander a little bit more, and it was a little easier to get carried away. --
On one particular day, for example, the couple were getting very carried away with each other. Wanda was straddling Vision's lap, and at some point, they had taken off each other's shirts, a soft moan escaping Wanda's throat as Vision's lips suckled at her neck, running her fingers through his golden hair. They almost might have gone further, one of Vision's hands toying with the clasp of Wanda's bra.. And then his phone rang.
Vision, who's brain was hardwired to answer the phone immediately when Viv was not with him in case there was a problem with his daughter, answered the call, only afterwards realising the awkwardness of the situation that he had just put himself in.
"Hello?" His voice slightly breathy, cheeks reddening. "I'm fine, Scott.. Yes, I can pick up Cassie.. Okay, see you then.." Vision disconnected the call, looking to Wanda. "Sorry.. That may have ruined the moment a little."
"Just a little.." Wanda blushed. "Uh, Vizh?"
"Yes?"
"Your hand is still on my boob.."
"Oh!" Vision hurriedly pulled the hand not holding his phone away from Wanda's chest. "S-Sorry.. And I'm sorry if I, uh.. If I got a little carried away just now.."
"It's fine, Vizh.." Wanda, relaxing a little more now, moved off of his lap to sit next to him. She didn't retrieve her shirt yet, mostly because she wasn't exactly sure where it had ended up. That probably should have bothered her, but it didn't really.
"If I went too far.. Or made you feel uncomfortable.." Vision looked so concerned, so nervous, and Wanda couldn't help wanting.. needing to comfort him.
"Vision, of course not. You didn't do anything wrong. I felt.. It was nice, before we got interrupted, and yes, maybe we were getting just a little carried away, but that's normal. It happens."
"I know" said Vision. "I know.. Vivian exists because of just that sort of scenario. But if Scott hadn't called, we might have.. But that's supposed to be special. First times are supposed to be special, aren't they?"
"Well.." Wanda hesitated a little before she spoke, but she felt safe with Vision, trusting that he wouldn't judge her. "That hasn't really been my experience.. My first 'First time' was with a friend of Pietro's, and honestly, I did it mostly to get it out of the way. He was nice enough, probably because he knew Pietro would kill him if he found out he wasn't, and it wasn't 'bad', exactly.. But I definitely wouldn't say it was special. Apart from that, I haven't had any real relationships until you, Vizh, so.."
Vision frowned, thinking for a moment.
"I suppose my first time was a bit like that too.. Wanting to get it out of the way. It was.. nice, nice enough that it happened again enough times to make Viv, but.. I don't think it was really special, either." At some point, Vision wasn't sure when, he had draped his arm around Wanda's shoulders. It was natural to him now, to always want her closer. "With Virginia, there was always something missing.."
"I think.." said Wanda after a pause, resting her head against Vision, "Maybe it's the person you're with that makes it special." It shouldn't have been that comfortable, sitting there half naked snuggling into his chest, but she knew she was safe with him.
"I think you may be right.." Vision didn't say anything for a few minutes after that, but he looked at Wanda with a gentle gaze, his expression soft.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wanda smiled, the tenderness in his eyes making her heart flutter.
"It's just.. you are so beautiful. Did you know that?"
Wanda's breath caught at his words, because she didn't know that, not really. She'd been called 'hot' or 'sexy' a lot in her adult life, sometimes 'gorgeous', but very rarely 'beautiful'. And her heart swelled, because she believed that Vision meant it, and loved him so much for saying it.
Wanda loved him. She loved Vision. And even though the nasty little voice in her head hadn't entirely been silenced, even though she was still afraid, so afraid of messing this up.. Wanda loved him, and so she told him so.
"I love you.." her voice was quiet, shy as she said the words, but she knew Vision had heard her, because the most wonderful smile spread over his face, and his blue eyes sparkled.
"I love you too." He'd kissed her then, a much softer kiss than before. "Would you like to come out for ice cream with the girl's and I after School?"
"I'd love to" Wanda chuckled. "But first we have to find my shirt.."

In Happy Times, Our Love Does Grow, Chapter 42: Through A Child’s Eyes.
Summary: Wanda attends 'Favourite Person Day' at Viv's school.
Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20601530/chapters/56102296
Wanda liked having a picture of Vision and Viv in her apartment. Her pictures of Pietro always made her feel a little sad, thinking of how full of life he used to be. The picture of Vision and Viv made her happy, because it made her think of them, even more than she already did.
Thinking of them made her happy. They made her happy.. Vision and Viv, and their little almost-family. Wanda wasn't alone in the world anymore, and that was a nice feeling. But, she and Vision did still have their own lives to live. A few days passed by without her seeing Vision (though they spoke on the phone every night), and she wasn't expecting to see him for another couple more when she answered an unexpected phone call from him at work. Luckily, he'd managed to catch her on a break.
"Hey, Vizh."
"Hello. I hope I'm not bothering you at work.."
"You caught me at just the right time" Wanda smiled. "What's up?"
"Remember the picture Vivian drew at Valentine's dinner? Well, it was for a 'favourite person' day at her School Tomorrow morning, and she was wondering if you could come? It's alright if you can't, she'll have me there, but.."
"I'm free, so I'd love to come" Wanda smiled. "I need to get back to the store, but call back Tonight and tell me all the details, okay?"
"Okay. We'll speak Tonight, then."
"Yeah, speak Tonight. Bye, Vizh."
"Goodbye, Wanda."
Her smile widened as the call disconnected, a slight spring in her step as she returned to work. Vision had sounded happy, and so Wanda was happy too. It seemed like nothing could dull her mood.. Not even the woman with a 'The customer is always right' expression who approached the counter a few minutes afterwards. Wanda sighed, squared her shoulders, and pasted on her 'retail' smile, ready to deal with whatever came her way.
"Do you have any chocolate eggs?"
"I'm sorry Ma'm, but no. We mostly deal in party favours..." --
This had been a very bad idea. Why the Hell had she agreed to this? Vision, sensing Wanda's discomfort, squeezed her hand, but it didn't help much.
How she'd felt at school pick up was nothing to how out of place she felt now in this classroom full of well-accomplished adults and their children. As each child introduced their favourite person, or people, Wanda felt more and more inadequate. Scott, attending the day with Cassie, was the only person who seemed close to uncomfortable as Wanda was. Little Miles's Father was a policeman. Young Amadeus's Mother was a scientist.
And then there was Wanda, basically a peddler of useless plastic single-use junk. She waited, dread growing in her, until the Teacher called on Viv, and she reluctantly let the little girl lead her up to the front of the classroom along with Vision.
"I couldn't choose only one most favourite person, so I brought two!" Viv grinned. "First I've got my Daddy.. I'm lucky, because he's a really, really good Daddy, and he's a superhero! He saves kids from having bad Birthday parties."
"Ooh, that does sound fun" The Teacher smiled. "And who else have you brought with you Today, Vivian?"
"I brought Wanda. She.." Viv began.
Wanda held her breath.
"This is stupid." Said the voice in her head. "You're no-one to look up to. You're not a Policeman, or a scientist, or.."
"..Is an artist!" Viv finished with a flourish.
"Wait.." Wanda blinked. "What?"
But no-one had time to answer her before, for the next few minutes, Viv launched into a speech talking up Wanda's art, even showing off a copy of the painting she had given Viv for Christmas.
"..And one day, Wanda and my Daddy are gonna make a superhero comic together!" Viv continued, grinning. "He's writing the story, and she's gonna do all the pictures. It's gonna be really, really cool!"
"I'm sure it is" said the Teacher. "Hmm, I think it might be time we heard about someone else's favourite person.. How about you, Kamala?"
As a little girl named Kamala Khan proudly tugged her Father to the front of the classroom, Wanda returned to sit back down with Vision and Viv, slightly in shock.. But it was a pleasant kind of shock. --
Wanda was still slightly in shock as Viv hugged her goodbye before all the 'favourite people' filed out of the classroom to let the rest of the regular School day commence, and remained so as she headed out to Vision's car, Vision, always the gentleman, opening the passenger door for her to get in.
"I was thinking we might go get a bite to eat.." Vision began, about to start the car.
"Mmhm.."
"Wanda.." Vision paused, key hovering near the ignition, and turned to her with a slightly concerned expression.
"Huh?" Wanda blinked, looking at him. "Sorry, Vizh, did you say something?"
"Are you alright?" He frowned. "You seem a little.. shell-shocked."
"I'm fine" said Wanda. "I suppose I'm just a little uimitor.. surprised, about some of the things Viv said."
"Oh.. like what?"
"Well, she thinks I'm an artist.." Wanda blushed.
"I see" Vision smiled softly. "Then you are an artist."
"I'm just a store clerk.."
"Children often have a way of seeing past the mundane aspects of adult life. No boring jobs. Viv sees all the fun things.. She sees You. To her, you are an artist."
"Oh.. That's nice, I suppose" Wanda's blush deepened.
"It is" Vision leaned over to kiss Wanda's blushing cheek, unable to help himself. "The world can be a much nicer place through the eyes of your child. Now.. Shall we stop for lunch?"
"Yes" Wanda managed a smile now, kissing Vision's cheek in return as he started the car. "Lunch would be great."
"Good. There's another new Cafe I've been thinking of trying.." Vision pulled out onto the road, driving extra specially careful until they were out of range of the school. "One more point, on our previous conversation."
"What?"
"I see you as an artist too."
Wanda blushed again, but her smile widened a little, hand moving to rest affectionately on Vision's thigh as he drove.
"Thanks, Vizh. I think you're pretty close to a real-life Superhero."

In Happy Times, Our Love Does Grow, Chapter 44: Sexy Bunny
Summary: Wanda helps Vision with Easter Bunny duties.
Ao3 link :https://archiveofourown.org/works/20601530/chapters/56716072#workskin
Nightmares aside, Wanda ended up having the best night's sleep she'd experienced in quite a long time. In Vision's arms, with Viv snuggled safely between them, Wanda felt perfectly at peace, like this was exactly where she was meant to be.
Vision and Viv seemed to sleep exceptionally well too. Perfectly content.
Everyday, it was getting easier to ignore the nasty little voice in Wanda's head that told her she wasn't good enough for Vision and Viv, and harder to deny the idea that maybe, just maybe, the three of them belonged together. --
The following morning began with a ritual that had been established on previous weekend sleepovers: Watching cartoons, and eating sugary cereal of the kind that, in the home of a sensible parent like Vision, was most definitely only allowed on weekends and special occasions.
Viv, being a very perceptive child, perched herself in Wanda's lap as they watched and munched, not knowing what her nightmare had been about, but somehow knowing that Wanda felt better having her close by.
Vision, with his arm around Wanda, let TV time go on quite a bit longer than he normally would have, even on a weekend. They were just so comfortable, and besides, this wasn't just any weekend, it was a Holiday weekend. He could relax the rules just a little more, right? As Wanda kissed his cheek, resting her head on his shoulder, Vision decided that yes, he definitely could. --
Later that afternoon, they set about making their Easter baskets ready for the following day.
"First, you gotta make a kind of box thingy, for the baskety part of the basket.." Viv was explaining.
"Of course" Wanda smiled, listening intently.
"And then we glue a handle on.. Can you hold it while I glue, Wanda?" Viv asked. "Usually Daddy does, but he's busy making you a cup of tea.."
"Mhmm.." Wanda flashed a smile to Vision in the Kitchen as she held the handle in place for Viv.
"And the other side.."
"Got it.."
"Done!" Viv grinned.
"That is a very fine looking basket" Vision smiled as he came to sit beside Wanda, who thanked him with a kiss as he set a mug of tea in front of her.
"Thank you, Daddy! Now we've just gots to make baskets for you and Wanda, and then we can decorate them!" --
So, they made two more baskets. Decorated them with stickers and drawings, laughing and having a wonderful time all the while.
Before they knew it, the sun was slipping below the horizon.
Wanda helped Vision whip up an easy evening meal, and after eating, they watched a movie with Viv before they both tucked her into bed.
"Remember, Vivian" Vision told his daughter as he kissed her goodnight, "The Easter Bunny is like Santa Claus."
"Your Father is right, Fata dulce" Wanda agreed, brushing a stray hair out of the little girl's face. "The Bunny will only come after you go to sleep."
"I know" Viv yawned, snuggling deeper into her blankets. "Goodnight, Daddy. Goodnight, Wanda."
"Goodnight" Vision smiled softly.
"Vise placute" Wanda added, as they crept out of the room. "Sweet dreams.." --
"Wanda.." whispered Vision, a few moments after they had pulled the door almost, but not all the way shut, "How would you like to be the Easter Bunny with me?"
"Hmm.." A cheeky smile crossed Wanda's face, and she rushed off to fetch something from her bag. "Give me a minute.."
"Alright.." Though slightly confused, Vision waited as Wanda had asked him.
Soon, Wanda returned, wearing the bunny ears she donned at work.
"Is this good?"
"Yes" Vision chuckled. "Very good."
"And this?" She turned, revealing that she was also wearing a tail.
"Uh, yes.." Vision blushed a little, trying very hard to focus on the tail and not.. anything else. "That's good too."
"Alright then. Let's go, Easter Bunny Wanda on duty!"
Giving her 'tail' a wiggle that was maybe a little less subtle than she intended, Wanda set off. When Vision followed her, unable to stop a happy, puppy dog look from spreading over his face, she smirked.
As much as Wanda hated all the 'Sexy Bunny' comments she inevitably received around Easter time at the Party Store, right now she found that she really didn't mind being one for Vision. -- Once Vision had fetched the Easter Eggs, he and Wanda set about hiding them. Some they scattered around all the obvious places. Others, they more stealthily tucked into little nooks and crannies about the House.
By the time the two Easter Bunnies were completely satisfied with their work, it was getting rather late. They had just enough time for one more hot drink before admitting that it was time to turn in.
"I'm guessing Viv will be up early Tomorrow for her Easter Hunt?" Wanda asked, as she drained the last of her tea.
"She will" Vision nodded, finishing the last of his own drink.
"I suppose we should probably think about bed.." Wanda stood, intending to head for Viv's room as she usually did, even if, somehow, that did not feel entirely right anymore.
"I suppose.." Vision hesitated, unsure whether he was about to overstep a line, but now that he had held Wanda as she slept, even just the once, it felt wrong to have her sleep here and not be holding her. "Wanda?"
"Mmhm?" She looked at him.
"You.. You can stay with me, if you like.." Vision blushed. "If you'd rather not, if it's too much I understand, it's just.. It was nice, holding you.."
Wanda cut him off, bending slightly to kiss him.
"It's not too much."
"It's not?"
"No" Wanda smiled softly. "I.. It's nice being held, and like I said, I trust you" She offered Vision her hand. "So.. Time for bed?"
"Yes.." Vision smiled, taking her hand. "Time for bed." --
So, once again, Vision held Wanda as she slept, because it felt right to do so, felt like in his arms was where she belonged.
And the next day, when Viv jumped on them to wake them both up, excitedly declaring that the Easter Bunny had come, and wanting to begin her hunt.. Vision watched Wanda, occasionally picking up a few eggs for her own basket, while leaving most for Viv. Watched Wanda gently guide the little girl towards the better hidden eggs, without telling her straight out where they were, letting Viv enjoy the sense of victory that came from working it out herself.
And as he watched, and Wanda flashed a dazzling smile in his direction.. Vision couldn't help falling a little more in love with her.
