*this chapter discusses child-loss*

YOUR POV

The last three years have gone so quickly. Ives is officially three years old and already has an attitude. She's obsessed with Nat, her baby sister and her little cousin, Talya. Bucky and Steve are engaged and moving out. Everything has changed and it's good.

- y/n : Ivy, stop stealing Charlie's toys

- Ivy : But Mommyyyy

- y/n : Tasha, I can't make burgers and look after the girls. Please put the book down

- Natasha : It's your fault, it's my favourite book, I just love Evelyn and Celia. Come here princess. These toys are Charlie's, your toys are in your bedroom. Should we go get some?

- y/n : Don't make too much of a mess, remember we're hosting

- Wanda : Everyone else will be here in the next hour

- y/n : Crap

- Talya : Crap

- y/n : I am so sorry

- Wanda : It's not the first time. Yelena taught her first, just watch your language

Everyone is coming to ours so we can throw a surprise party for Peter, MJ and Ned. They graduate tomorrow and are then off to MIT in the fall.

- y/n : Pass me my niece

- Talya : Helloooo

- y/n : Hiya sweetie. How are you?

- Talya : Mama have baby in her tummy

- Wanda : Talya, that was our secret

- y/n : Again?

- Wanda : Yep, I'm 12 weeks tomorrow

- y/n : Aww

- Wanda : Talya, cover your ears for Mama, good girl. Fucking twins. I'm fucked

- y/n : Twins?! Oh my god. Congratulations Wands, where's Vis?

- Wanda : Setting up Talya's stuff in Ivy's room

- Tony : HELLOOO

- Pepper : Be quiet. Hey Y/n. How are you, how's the girls?

- y/n : I'm good, the girls are grumpy because I won't let them have ice-cream for all their meals

Ivy is definitely a mini Nat. She's got brighter hair but you can definitely tell who her Mama is. She also likes to spend time with Nat down in the home dance studio. She has an egg chair in the corner and tries to copy Nat all the time. Charlie's a little different. She's got my colour hair but still has Nat's eyes and is absolutely obsessed with her Uncle Bucky and Uncle Steve. She'll do anything to have someone read to her and just basically be close to them.

- Ivy : Mommyyyyyyy

- y/n : Woah, you almost ran into the counter sweetie, you got to be careful. What's up?

- Ivy : Mama is mean

- Natasha : I was changing Charlie so had to pause our tea party

- y/n : Oh no. Mean Mama. How about you and Talya go and get changed into your swim suits and then Uncle Tony will come swimming with you?

- Ivy : Come on Uncle Tony

- Tony : I didn't sign up for this

- y/n : Oh well. That's your problem T-bag

- Tony : Stop calling me T-bag

- y/n : Well I'm being child friendly and it sounds better then D-bag

We still haven't told anyone we're engaged. Besides Wanda and Vis that is. We're thinking we might just go down to the courthouse instead of have an actual wedding.

- Bucky : Where are my nieces?

- Ivy : Uncle Buckyyyyy

- Charlie : Keyyyy

- Bucky : Hey girls. I missed you

- Ivy : Come play with me and Talya

- Bucky : Come on then

Bucky has a soft spot for the kids, especially Charlie. Nat almost didn't make it in time for me to give birth to Charlie so Bucky was there holding my hand. I need to talk to Wanda though, if she's pregnant again then she needs support.

- y/n : Hey, why don't we go talk in the studio?

- Wanda : Okay. I'll be back Vis

- Vision : Okay honey

- y/n : How are you?

- Wanda : I'm good

- y/n : Wands, it's just us. You can be honest

- Wanda : I'm scared. What if I lose the baby again?

- y/n : Come here. You're going to be fine Wanda. I know you're scared but it's okay, you're going to be okay and so will the babies

Wanda and Vis tried for a baby about a year ago. Talya was one and they thought they could cope with another baby. When Wanda got to 21 weeks before she went into labour and gave birth to their second daughter, Petra, in reference to Pietro. Obviously being only 21 weeks meant that the baby didn't make it. Since then Wands has struggled, she is very protective of Talya and wasn't sure if she wanted to try for another baby, incase it happened again.

- y/n : You're so strong. I'm so proud of you for trying again, and these little monsters are going to be just fine

- Wanda : I miss my baby

- y/n : I know Wands

- Wanda : I don't want to sound horrible but I really hope it's not a girl. I already feel like I'm replacing Petra

- y/n : You're not replacing her Wands

- Wanda : I'm so sorry for crying on you

- y/n : It's okay. It could've been worse, you could still be in your emo phase and have mascara and eyeliner all over us

- Wanda : Mhm, true

- y/n : You ready to go back out then?

- Wanda : Let's go

I was pregnant at the same time as Wanda. It makes it hard for her to interact with Charlie because that's the same age Petra would've been. I don't hold it against her because if the roles were reversed I would be the same. That's not to say that Wanda doesn't like Charlie, she just finds it hard to spend time with her doing baby stuff, changing diapers, feeding her because those are the same things she should be doing with her youngest daughter.

- Ivy : Mommy, I need a wee

- y/n : Alright, come on then

- Ivy : Mommy quick

- y/n : Okay; we're here. You can have a wee Ivy

- Ivy : I sorry Mommy

- y/n : Don't be sorry for an accident. You tried, didn't you?

Potty training is definitely something. We'll get there eventually but for now, it's a lot of accidents and washing.
