彡CHAPTER THREE
❛ can't remember to forget you ❜
( episode three, season one )
Things have been a lot stranger - especially for Ellie - since Wanda got pregnant. It seemed as though Vision and Wanda didn't even stop to question the odd situation, like they were ignoring everything.Ellie however, couldn't ignore it.
But here she was, slouching at the far end of the now colored couch, mindlessly looking in a magazine while Wanda was being examined by a doctor.
The doctor hummed, a small frown pulling at his face, making both Wanda and Ellie give him raised eyebrows, while Vision just frowned.
The doctor hummed again before straightening up with a cheerful smile. "Yep! Definitely pregnant!"
Wanda chuckled and nudged Ellie when she looked at the doctor with an expression that said 'no shit.' "Well, that much we figured."
"It's just kinda taken us by suprise." Vision tried to explain.
"That's an understatement." Ellie muttered as she flipped a page in her magazine and propped her feet next to Wanda.
Vision, having not heard what she said, continued. "It's just kinda suddenly. I mean, practically overnight. I mean... how did this happen?"
"You see-" the doctor started and Ellie already sighed in aggravation at his tone. "-when a man and a woman love eachother very much..."
"Stop." Ellie whispered to herself, embarrassment creeping up on her. Her fingers tickled, almost as if being electrocuted and the doctor stopped talking almost immediately, suprising the small family.
"Uh...well-" Wanda started, glancing at Ellie with an unsure expression. She then smiled as she looked at the doctor. "We're just tickled pink, or blue."
Wanda stood up, Vision at her side. Ellie didn't bother to get up as she brought her hands in her lap and peered at them, unnerved. She knew she had powers, she could form invisible shields whenever she wanted. So how was it that with a single thought, with a single whisper, she was able to stop the doctor from talking? Maybe she was overthinking, maybe it was just Wanda.
Of course it was Wanda, it had to be her.
Being lost in thought, Ellie didn't even notice the doctor heading towards the door only when Wanda gently touched her shoulder. She have Ellie a concerned look but when she only got a smile in return, she went back towards the doctor and Vision.
"Hypothetically speaking, every new father-to-be gets nervous." the doctor assured Vision. When he saw Vision glance at Ellie, he added. "Your adopted daughter doesn't count, you didn't raise her." the doctor laughed.
Ellie frowned, thinking about her past. She didn't remember it, she never does. Not even a single bit.
"Ellie is our daughter." Vision said in a stern voice while looking at the doctor. "And I'll have you know that I have nerves of steel, Mr Doctor."
