All of the women stood around the kitchen island, a crowd of the men standing in a huddle at one side. One after the other, they all left to the bathroom to go pee on a pregnancy test and waited until the last girl had gone to start the two minute waiting period. No one had come forward to claim the positive test as their own when they were asked.

Tony, Vision, Scott, Peter, T'Challa, Bruce and Thor all stood around anxiously, biting their nails. Steve was cool, knowing the only woman he could get pregnant died seventy years ago. Peter was crying, despite every claiming that they would help the two youngsters through the journey of pregnancy.

The second minute passed and Steve counted down from three. Each woman flipped over the pregnancy test and examined their own test. Carol and Hope sighed with relief, making Scott fist bump the air in excitement. Pepper held hers up and said 'negative!', with Tony looking a little disheartened but nodding in acceptance. Shuri threw hers at her brother, making him squeal in disgust as she laughed. Olivia and Nat flipped theirs at the same time, saw the 'negative', turned to each-other and fist bumped. Yelena whined when hers came out negative, though she had no way to get a positive result. Natasha just looked at her confused, and the blonde shrugged her shoulders. Izzy was the last to lift her, but did so, and everyone's eyes were on her. Peter stopped breathing for a good five minutes, waiting for her to speak. She flipped the test over, and grinned.

"Negative."

Roars erupted through the compound, all of the men running up to Peter and hugging him tightly. Peter cried with relief, hugging Tony tightly. Izzy chuckled and rolled her eyes, so immature. Olivia laughed along and looked down the line of women, noticing that one of them hadn't turned over the pregnancy test. The celebrations ended and soon everyone had taken notice of the one test result left unknown.

"Wanda...?" Olivia asked, catching the witch's attention, noticing her heavy breathing and teary eyes. She didn't know the quest to find who's pregnant would go this far. Wanda nodded, then lifted her test, not even needing to read it herself to know the result.

"Positive." She whispered through teary eyes, slamming the test on the side and storming off to her room, wiping the tears from her eyes. Silence lingered throughout them all. Olivia and Nat looked to each-other while everyone else looked to Vision, who had an expressionless look on his face.

"Hey! Robot, your girlfriend is pregnant!" Shuri yelled, not understanding why he wasn't excited about the news. T'Challa looked to her, and shook his head.

"I..I don't believe this." Vision whispered, not being able to look at anyone. Olivia shook her head at his patheticness. Wanda's the one carrying his baby, and he's over here having a pity party? She wasn't having it. She tutted, then walked off in Wanda's direction. Natasha wanted to follow after, but Wanda and her weren't in the closest of friendships. Instead, she went and comforted Izzy, who was feeling sad for her best friend.

Olivia shut the door to Wanda's bedroom behind her, looking to the woman staring out of her window, biting on her nails. She turned around and began to weep, looking to Olivia.

"I-I can't have a baby, I'm too young and-"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Olivia ran over to her and took her into a hug, rubbing her back soothingly. "We'll get through this. Together."

"I can't be a mom." Wanda cried.

"You'll be the most amazing mum. And if anything," Olivia pulled away, brushing hair behind her ear, "you'll have all of us to look after this little kid."

"But Vision-"

"Don't worry about him now. We just need to care about you. You're the one who's pregnant."

"He doesn't want to be a dad." She let a few more tears spill, pursing her lips and choking back a sob, "I know he doesn't."

"Well you know what? I do. Natasha does. Izzy does. Carol does. Shuri does. Everyone wants to be a dad if he isn't willing to be, okay? We can all do this." Olivia tried to calm her down, but Wanda just continued to cry, so Olivia held her tighter, and kissed the top of her head.
