Just Us - Wanda Maximoff x Fem!reader

Strawberries

⚠️Tw: Panic attack⚠️

I was startled awake by the sound of someone's shouts echoing through the cabin. My body jolted to the side to get out of bed, but I end up falling off and face planting the floor. Wanda suddenly sits up at the sound of me falling and another shout. She scrambles off the bed, moving around my side to help me off the floor, her eyes filled with worry touching my face causing me to flinch and turn away from her touch in pain. 

"Baby, I think your nose is bleeding." I bring my fingers to feel beneath my nose, yup definitely bleeding.

"It's okay princess. Let's go see what the scream was, then I will sort myself out." 

We both rush into Billy's room as another shout leaves his mouth as he thrashes around on the bed. He thrashes from left to right, sweat dripping down his forehead as he legs kick out every now and again and his hands clutch onto the bed covers. 

"Mama." He cries in his sleep as his body curls up on itself before he kicks out again. 

Wanda goes to walk towards him but I hold out a hand in front of her, of course she turns to me with that protective mother scowl but I stand my ground. When she goes to move again, having expected me to surrender and let her go, I grab onto both of her shoulders and move to stand in front of her. I can see the scared look on her face, tears building as she tries to look past me towards Billy.

"You can't wake him up." Her head whips around to face me with more anger than I've ever seen her have towards me.

"He's hurting Y/n, he is having a night terror can't you see that." She goes to move past me again, but I keep her still making sure my grip isn't hurting her as I do.

"You can't Wanda." She grabs onto my hands that are on her shoulders trying to pry them off.

"Let me go." I stand my ground and when I see her slowly tilt her head I gulp knowing I'm in for it.

"I can't let you wake him up Wanda because it will make it worse for him." Her eyes flick to Billy who seems to be quietening down his body twitching every now and again. 

"What the fuck do you mean make it worse for him?" She shoves her hands into my elbows causing my arms to buckle slightly, not being prepared for her to retaliate. 

"Wanda, you should never wake someone up from a night terror. You just need to make sure they are safe and let it pass." Tears spring to her eyes but she still has a look of anger about her. 

"Y/n let go of me so I can get to my boy." I loosen my grip slightly, not fully letting go.

"Just don't wake him up yet." I look back to see him still whimpering in his sleep. "He looks to be coming out of it. Just don't wake him up until his body is completely calm, if you really want to check on him."

"I promise not to wake him up." She says straightforwardly and with no emotion. "Now let go of me." 

I slowly pull my hands from her shoulder, my body jerking to the side at its own accord when Wanda storms past me, her shoulder coming into contact with mine. I bow my head in shame at my sudden reaction, I shouldn't have reacted that way. She was just walking past, in a rush, to get to her boy who I stopped her from seeing earlier. Her reaction is warranted and completely understandable. 

But my reaction was not. She didn't go to hit me, or push me. I was the one with a hold on her, I didn't let go. I hurt her. She has every right to be mad at me, who in their right mind stops a mother from protecting her child. Apparently me. I need to apologise, say sorry for hurting her and restraining her. Holding her back from her motherly duties.
