Olivia stormed off and caught up to Wanda and exited the compound into the ambulance. Natasha stood, frozen and staring at her now ex-girlfriend. Izzy stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. She turned to Natasha and placed a shaky hand on her shoulder.

"She didn't mean-"

"Don't. Don't try and make this better for me." She whispered through her tears, shrugging Izzy off and leaving for her room. Izzy sulked her shoulders as Peter hugged her from behind, comforting her.

"They're going to be okay. Wanda's going to have her baby and everything'll be back to normal!" He grinned half heartedly.

"That's not how it works, Peter."

"Well...at least the baby will give us practice for when we want to be parents." He said, still trying to be hopeful.

"You want us to be parents?" Izzy asked, cocking her brow. Peter instantly panicked, his fingers trembling. After the break up of the engagement he didn't know if Izzy wanted to take this any further than what it was now.

"I- uh- well- I mean-"

"Calm it, spider boy." Izzy stood up on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "You would be a great dad."

"T-Thank you."

Wanda was rushed through the hospital and placed onto the first bed she could find. She screamed and cried and gripped onto Olivia's hand like it was life or death. Her powers unleashed too and made Olivia's bones crack. The brunette wailed in pain at her hand being crushed but within the hour, a newborn baby was pushed out and was being held by its mother. Olivia's hand was getting wrapped up with a bandage. Bruce stood by, ran his fingers through his hair and looked to Olivia.

"What're you going to do about Nat?" He asked. Silence loomed through the room and Wanda pretended to busy herself with the baby. Olivia dropped her hand on her lap and looked up to him with defeated eyes.

"I don't know...I couldn't have done anything differently. Wanda needed me."

"She would've been fine with just me." Bruce said, scoffing slightly. Olivia narrowed her eyes, noticing Wanda tense.

"You're not seriously suggesting that I should've just left her when she wanted me there? I promised to protect this child like it's my own and I'm not going to let anyone stop me!"

Bruce slammed his hands on the side of the bed, making Wanda flinch, "I'm stopping you! You let Natasha go over a kid that isn't even yours!"

"A kid that deserves two parents, Bruce! If Vision isn't willing to be man enough to take the role, I sure as hell will!"

"And so what? Natasha means nothing to you?"

"Don't you fucking dare-"

"You know, when you died that girl didn't let anyone touch your stuff even when she thought you weren't coming back! She protected you and you weren't even there!" Olivia gulped slightly at his harsh words and stepped back slightly as Bruce continued, "Now you've ended it all because of her?"

He gestured to Wanda who sunk further into the bed and had tears coating her eyes. Olivia bit her tongue and stepped back, then sparked her powers between her fingers.

"I suggest you get the hell out of here." She snarled.

"Or what? Are you just gonna-"

Olivia struck him with her powers, making him smash through the hospital window and out of the building. Wanda gasped and covered the babys ears. Olivia watched it all happen, her chest rising up and down in anger. No one was going to talk to her like that.

"Call Nat down here. Now." Wanda said with a shaky voice. Olivia spun around and looked at her confused. Wanda was still caressing the baby's head, then kissed it lovingly.

"I don't think she wants to speak to either of us."

"She won't. But I want her to meet baby Natasha."
