"How old are the kids again?" Wanda asked as the Uber turned off the paved road.

"Umm gosh..." Natasha thought. "Cooper is probably ten? And Lila has to be eight?" Natasha thought some more before nodding. "Yeah, around there." Wanda nodded along. "And you think they'll like me?"

Natasha laughed as Wanda lifted her head from the redhead's shoulder. "I'm serious." Wanda was getting more nervous with each bump in the road. "I know. I'm sorry, but yes, they'll love you. I can't imagine why they wouldn't."

Natasha was telling the truth but was very curious to know what Laura would have to say about Wanda.

Wanda hummed and looked out the front windshield as the view of the white ranch-style home came into view. "Wow," Wanda said, earning Natasha's nod. "It's pretty."

As the car rolled to a stop in front of the house, the porch screen door flew open, and two kids and a mom with black mixed with copper hair ran after them. "Guys, let them get their stuff first!" Laura pleaded as Cooper and Lila were already running into Nat as she stepped out of the car.

Wanda watched from the car before opening her own door and swinging around the back of the vehicle. The Uber driver gave her a courteous nod as he had already piled their bags outside the trunk. "Thanks." She mumbled before her eyes met Laura's.

Laura immediately took notice and extended her hand as she met Wanda where she stood. "You must be Wanda! It's a pleasure to meet you." Wanda could tell that Laura meant it. "You as well!" Wanda said with a big smile attached.

Laura turned her head and saw Natasha trying to introduce Wanda, but the kids were asking a million questions.

"Hey guys! Why don't we give Auntie Nat some space and let her introduce you to her friend." Laura grabbed each of her kid's shoulders and pulled them back into her legs as Natasha stood up and wrapped her arm around Wanda.

Wanda instantly felt calmer.

"Guys, this is my special friend, Wanda! She's cool and will be with us while I'm here!" Natasha smiled widely and watched the kids look from the redhead to Wanda.

Lila immediately went wide-eyed and dropped her mouth. "You're really pretty!" That melted Wanda's heart. "Aww, well, thank you! I think you're pretty, too!" Wanda bent down. "I love your pigtails too. Did you do them yourself?"

Lila nodded. "I can do yours if you want?!"

Natasha was watching this interaction with big ole heart eyes. Laura was watching Natasha and was going to grill her later on.

Wanda hummed in playful thought. "Sure! But maybe tomorrow, is that okay?" Lila nodded. "Yay! I can't wait!" Wanda giggled and turned her head to Cooper. "So if that, Lila, that must make you Cooper."

Cooper wore a dumb grin on his face that Natasha hadn't seen before, making the redhead tilt her head and look at Laura.

Laura caught the look Cooler had mixed with his mumbled words when he spoke to Wanda.

"Crush." She mouthed to Natasha. Natasha raised her eyebrows and unconsciously made her hold on Wanda tighter when she rose from talking with the kids.

"Well, if you two wanna grab your bags, I think the Uber driver's asleep." Laura laughed as she slowly turned with the kids following her. Wanda looked into the window of the backseat and it did indeed look like the driver was asleep.

"Oh, I got it," Natasha said as Wanda went to grab her own bag. "Oh... are you sure?" She asked, but Natasha waved her off. "You do know what I do for a living, right?" Wanda rolled her eyes as she wrapped her arm around Natasha's waist. "You're right. Your muscles are something else." Natasha hummed as they walked up the porch steps. "Don't you forget it?" Wanda laughed as they entered the house.

It was set up very similar to her home. Except this house was way more lived in. Wanda would later find out this home has been in the Barton named for the last 80 years.

Natasha set their bags down near the front door. "I can show you our room later." Wanda nodded. She was in no rush to get away from the hosts yet. So, as they walked down the hall towards the sound of Lila laughing, Wanda looked at the framed family photos.

"Natasha." Wanda's voice stopped Natasha as she turned back to a picture Wanda was looking at. It was hanging above the table near the coat closet. "That's Clint?" Wanda asked informally as if she couldn't believe it. She knew what the man looked like now. But in the picture, he had to have been 19 years old and had a buzz cut.

Natasha laughed. "Oh god. He hates that picture! Laura totally put that out just for you to see." Wanda laughed at how evil Laura was. "That's awesome," Wanda said.

Together, Wanda and Natasha walked into the back kitchen, where Laura was doing her best to finish preparations for a home-cooked meal. Lila was drawing a picture of her and Wanda.

"Did she see it?" Laura asked without looking up. Natasha laughed. "She saw it." Laura fist-bumped the air. "Isn't it horrible?" She said while looking up to Wanda, who nodded with a smile. "It's not the worst picture ever." Natasha nodded. "That's true. I took a picture of Wanda earlier. That's way worse!"

"Hey!" Wanda exclaimed as the teasing began focusing on her. But Laura stuck up for the newbie. "Wanda, the couch in the office upstairs is a pullout in case Natasha needs somewhere to stay tonight." Natasha huffed. "Oh, come on!" Wanda laughed. "Thank you, Laura." Laura winked. "Anytime. Now Natasha, please move. You're starting to crowd me." Natasha rolled her eyes and moved away from the stressed-out mom. "Where's the little man?" She asked while picking up a baby carrot from a bowl and chomping into it.

She offered Wanda one, but she politely declined.

"He went to grab his glove and baseball bat." Laura pulled her eyes away from the recipe written in a notebook to Natasha. "He expects catch." Natasha nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. Dad number two is around." Laura picked up a baby carrot and flung it at Natasha. Lila heard the adults bickering and looked at Wanda while laughing. Wanda looked at her and shrugged before pulling a silly face.

They would be besties come Monday.

"Shut up," Laura said to Natasha, who picked up the floor carrot. "I'm kidding, but yeah, I'll report to my duties." Natasha sat up from the giant kitchen island and, out of habit, went to kiss Wanda but found her sitting by Lila, coloring.

"Gonna be okay if I leave you with this troublemaker?" Natasha asked the two as she leaned over Wanda's chair. "Natasha, that's not nice," Wanda said, making Natasha smile brightly. "I was talking to Lila. You're the troublemaker, Wanda." Lila nodded and laughed even if she knew it wasn't true. Wanda's mouth dropped. "Oh my gosh, please leave," Wanda said and almost leaned up to kiss Natasha but wasn't sure if that was okay.

She knew Laura was okay with it.

But Natasha introduced Wanda as her friend, not her girlfriend, so they weren't sure what they could do in front of the kids.

However, leave it to Natasha to play it by ear, lean down, and kiss Wanda's head right in front of Lila, making the small child drop her mouth. "Ew, Auntie Nat, what about cooties?"

Lila was a little past the age to believe in cooties, so she must've been doing it as an inside joke between her and Natasha.

Natasha faked a gasp. "Oh no! Wanda, did you get your cootie shot?" If Wanda hadn't known better, she would've thought Natasha Romanoff had gone to Juilliard rather than joining the military. "I did! So it's okay!"

Lila wiped fake sweat from her forehead. Natasha did the same. "That was close, huh, Lila!" Lila nodded and moved her eyes to Wanda. "That could've been catastrophic."

Now, where in the hell did Lila know that word was lost on Laura, she smiled as she watched everything happening several feet away through her phone's camera.

A video to play at a wedding she was now dead set on wanting to happen.

"Okay, I'll try to have Cooper done and washed up before 6," Natasha called out to Laura, who had put her phone away in time. "Okay, have fun!" With that Wanda watched the back screen door close and Natasha turn the corner.

Her eyes briefly traveled to Laura, who offered a kind smile that warmed Wanda's heart. Everything was so quick and easy here. They didn't have to hide per se, and Wanda got to see a whole new side of Natasha.

She was beyond happy.

"So..." Lila pulled Wanda's attention back to the multi-colored pieces of paper in front of them. "Are you and Auntie Nat married?"

Laura deeply laughed as Wanda looked at the innocent child, flustered.

Hours later, after dinner, ice cream and drawing made Wanda's hand cramp, everyone retired to bed. Laura also told Natasha that she told the kids that Natasha was making her special French toast in the morning.

Natasha was not and had never made French toast before.

Has Wanda? Natasha asked in her head before Wanda came out of the bathroom that was connected to the guest room they were in and the home office.

Wanda was brushing her teeth. She smiled and walked closer to Natasha, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, only wearing her gym shorts and an oversized t-shirt. "What?" Wanda asked with a mouthful of toothpaste. She had caught Natasha staring at her.

Natasha smiled and stuck her hand up. Wanda took it before being dragged closer. "You're just cute." Wanda smiled and rolled her eyes. She was tired, brushing her teeth and wearing a white shirt with a red collar that said: Norwegian Power on the front.

Wanda squeezed Natasha's hand before retreating back to the bathroom to finish up.

"You know..." Wanda said as she clicked off the bathroom light and returned to the bedroom. "Laura promised me some pictures of younger twenties Natasha. Am I gonna like what I see?" Natasha smiled at Wanda's curious eyes. "Oh, you're gonna love them." Wanda laughed. "I hope there are some real embarrassing ones."

Natasha nodded and looked away. She wasn't sure what pictures Laura had, which scared her slightly.

Wanda gently cupped Natasha's chin and turned it towards her as she, too, sat on the edge of the bed. Wanda gave a quick kiss before her pink lips turned into a grin. "You're great with them."

"With who?" Natasha asked as she put her arms behind her body. Leaning back. "With Cooper and Lila. It was cute."

Natasha smiled. "They're great. You did amazing, too. You'll be leaving here with a whole bag full of drawings." Wanda nodded. Lila and her were unstoppable. "Lila's definitely going to an art school." Wanda leaned into Natasha until they both fell back against the bed. Natasha's arm wrapped around Wanda, pulling her close.

"I forgot about the stars," Natasha said as she and Wanda looked up at the faint green glow on the ceiling. They would grow brighter once they turned off the bedside lamp. "I like them." Wanda hummed.

It was then Natasha said something unbelievably cheesy and cute that set the tone for the rest of the night.

"I like you."

Wanda tucked her head into Natasha's shoulder and closed her eyes. She was hiding a gigantic smile. "Did you really just say that?" Wanda's voice was slightly muffled and amused.

Natasha laughed. "Don't make me regret it."

"Nat." Wanda lifted her head. "You've told me before, but that was so cheesy." Wanda bit her bottom lip as she looked at Natasha's green eyes. "But I like you too."

Silence fell upon the two once again as they laid.

Their honeymoon phase wasn't over, but they were more comfortable with each other than most people in an entire relationship.

"You know..." Wanda lifted her head from Natasha. "This will be our first time sleeping in the same bed. Like fully overnight and not on accident."

Natasha remembers Wanda panicking one morning after she accidentally fell asleep in Natasha's arms. She was stressed that she couldn't find her left Vans.

It was in her hand.

"That's true," Natasha replied as she turned her head to look up at the pillows against the headboard. "So, which side do you want?" Natasha knew which side of the bed she wanted. Natasha wanted the life side. It was nearest to the door.

Wanda sat in thought. "The left side." She said, Natasha's face remaining unchanged. The redhead just nodded and lifted herself up, but Wanda stopped her with a soft hand on the chest. "Natasha, I'm joking."

Natasha looked at Wanda, confused. "What?" Wanda chucked. "I know you want the left side." Natasha immediately shook her head. "No. No, I don't." Wanda got up and pulled Natasha up as well. "Yes, you do. You always sleep on the left side. Even if I start on it. You always move me over."

Wanda vaguely remembers being lifted up and moved to the other side one night. She thought it was a weird part of her dream for the next day.

Natasha was caught.

"It makes it easier to protect the door." Natasha quietly answered as if Wanda was scolding her, but the brunette quickly ensured that was not the case. "Hey. I don't need a reason. You like your specific side. That's okay. I can sleep anywhere, ask Carol and Darcy." Wanda shrugged before her eyes went wide. "Don't ask them. They'd probably tell you some things I don't want you to know yet."

Yet.

There was a future.

Natasha smiled as the two got ready for bed. It was cute and domestic. And like most nights, after making out and finally breathing normally, the couple held each other.

Which made the question in Natasha's mind unrelenting.

"Hey, Wanda?" Natasha whispered, unsure if the other woman had fallen asleep yet. "Hey, Natasha," Wanda whispered back, fully awake, as her mind raced, thinking about the girl in her arms.

Natasha licked her lips. "I- I wanna ask you something, but I'm nervous..." Wanda's heart thumped against her chest. "You can ask me anything." She said, preparing herself. Natasha gathered her thoughts. "When you- when you think about going back to school- like in the fall..." Natasha inhaled. "Do you see me? Like in your future?"

Natasha suddenly became very on edge.

"And even if you don't think about the fall or anything, that's fine. I've just thought about it and- if it's dumb, don't worry-"

Wanda rose from the laying position and put her hand on Natasha's mouth. Scaring the redhead for one second. "Shut up," Wanda said with a laugh in between the words. She then looked down at the green eyes of the older woman. Staring at her like she was the most beautiful thing she's ever seen. It was delicate.

"Where are your thoughts going with this, Natasha?" Wanda calmly asked.

Natasha gulped as Wanda slowly pulled her hand away and placed it down Natasha's arm. Her thumb rubbed Natasha's wrist. Natasha cleared her throat and sat up so she was face-to-face with Wanda.

"It's just... it's no secret that I'm older than you and it s-scares me every once in a while because..." Natasha took a breath. "I haven't felt like how I feel about you in an insanely long time." Natasha looked at Wanda. "So much so that I'm pretty sure if I actually did feel this way about someone else, it wouldn't be this good." Natasha inhaled and exhaled. "Wanda, we're great together. And yeah, it's only been a couple of weeks. A month. A little more. Stolen dates and kisses here and there, but I really, really like you." She couldn't stress it enough. "And I don't know exactly how it'll pan out, but I'd like to think we're in each other's future."

Natasha was vulnerable. She hated this feeling, but the thought of not seeing Wanda was worse.

Wanda lifted her right hand to Natasha's face and gently pulled her closer. "I see you in my future. Okay?" Her eyes danced over to the shimmering green of the redheads. "I really do because I like you so much, Natasha."

She thought about saying it.

She wanted to say it.

But another question was pressing.

Natasha lifted her face up and kissed Wanda. Tenderly, they confessed their fears and honesty. Natasha gently cradled Wanda's head as she moved to be on top of the brunette. Wanda's back hit the soft bed.

"Oh, Natasha!" Wanda quietly moaned as Natasha moved her lips from Wanda's to the girl's neck. Carefully, Natasha kissed her way up to Wanda's ear—the action making Wanda scrunch her nose as it was pleasurable but ticklish.

Hearing the giggles, Natasha lifted her head and looked down at Wanda's face.

"I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to know how I feel. How much I want this."

Wanda's smile turned to a face of shock before a pearly white smile replaced that. "What?" She was cheerful.

"I want you, Wanda Maximoff, to be my girlfriend." Natasha calmly said before adding on: "I keep thinking about it and I hated calling you my special friend. I want you to be my girlfriend. I want people to know."

People would have to include Wanda's father, Erik Lehnsherr. But that would be a bridge to cross later.

"Me too," Wanda replied before she lifted her head and kissed Natasha. "I'm your girlfriend," Wanda said. Natasha laid her body against Wanda's again.

"Natasha?" Wanda asked after a moment of the two kissing and cuddling. "Can you be honest with me?" Natasha looked at Wanda, wholly concerned. "Did you ask me so that Cooper couldn't?" All the worry left Natasha's face as she rolled her eyes and turned away from Wanda, who was laughing way louder than she should've been.

Wanda wasn't sure how jealous Natasha was of the ten-year-old's crush on her until she watched Natasha grab the spoon away from Cooper so she could be the one to fill Wanda's bowl with ice cream earlier that night.

"Good night," Natasha said as she bundled the pillow under her head to her liking. "Oh, come on, Natasha!" Wanda pleaded while still laughing. Natasha smiled when she felt Wanda's body against hers. Soft lips kissing her neck and back.

She and Wanda were girlfriends.

Natasha was over the moon.
