Can you let me in?

Chp 12

Natasha jolted awake feeling y/n hand slip under the back of her t shirt. Thankfully she didn't wake up y/n with the sudden movement but she did wake up Wanda.

"Are you okay?" Wanda whispers, being able to feel the anxiety from the older avenger.

"Fine, just startled." Natasha says slowly removing y/n hand from her back. Wanda watches the movement.

"You know the doctor told me littles in her headspace like skin to skin contact." Wanda supplies, hoping Natasha will understand.

Natasha nods to herself. It does make sense, skin to skin contact is intimate and helps littles connect with their caregivers. "I don't have soft skin." Natasha let's out, sitting up. "I'm gonna go get some water." Natasha says ending the conversation.

Wanda looks over at the clock, 4:20 AM. Wanda looks down and sees y/n is in a deep sleep. Against her better judgement Wanda slips out of bed and follows Natasha to the kitchen.

"I'm fine." Natasha says, hearing Wanda's footsteps approach.

"I know." Wanda says standing behind Natasha wrapping her arms around her. Humming into the touch.

"Y/n isn't looking for soft skin, she's looking for your skin. You are her Mama, she wants your touch." Wanda says, still holding Natasha.

It takes a minute but finally Natasha speaks. "I feel I'm in way over my head here Wanda. I never considered being a mom or a caregiver, the red room beat that out of me. When I found y/n I just knew I needed to protect her, we needed to. But then I almost lost her.." Natasha says, starting to cry a bit.

"Hey, hey." Wanda says, turning Natasha around and hugging her. "Y/n is here and she is safe. That's because of you. I know it can be overwhelming at times but I'm in this with you. Plus the teams got our backs as well. We've got this babe." Wanda says, accidentally letting the nickname slip.

"What did you just call me?" Natasha says looking at Wanda, raising her eyebrows a bit.

"Oh no I already regret it." Wanda says, shaking her head.

"Too late, let's go back to y/n babe." Natasha says, really emphasizing the word.

The two climb back into bed with y/n who had thankfully slept through their absence.

Y/n immediately recognized her Mama's presence and cuddled into them, slipping her hand under Natashas shirt again. Wanda smiles to herself seeing Nat leave it this time before falling back asleep.

Wanda wakes up to Natasha lightly singing a Russian lullaby to y/n. Wanda rolls over and cuddles into them.

"Morning." Natasha whispers, pausing her song.

"Morning" Wanda mumbles. "How's our babygirl?"

"Out like a light." Natasha smiles, looking down at y/n sleeping on her chest.

"Good she needs it. I'll go start breakfast and a bottle for her." Wanda says starting to get up.

"We will be right behind you, I just need to change her quick." Natasha says, starting to stand up keeping y/n in her arms.

Natasha brings y/n into the bathroom and quickly changes her and adds more ointment to her wound on her side. Y/n whimpered a bit but stayed asleep.

The pair head down to the kitchen, noticing only Wanda and Tony in the kitchen. Natasha smiled at the two before motioning down to the sleep y/n.

Tony nods and gives a sad smile before whispering. "How is she doing?"

"A bit better, still very tired." Natasha states.
