Wandas PoV:

When I woke up, Natasha was still lying next to me.

I let the events of yesterday pass before my inner eye once again and organized my thoughts.

Slowly I sat up and got out of bed. I went to my closet and pulled out some clothes.

"Good morning," Natasha said sleepily as I turned back to her.

"Hey," I smiled. "Did you sleep well?"

"Y-Yes.... Um. I slept pretty well. I still need to talk to Maria and Director Fury today... What are you up to?" she asked.

"I'm going to run some errands in town, and other than that, I'm getting everything ready for our Christmas..." I smiled at the thought of the two of us having a cozy Christmas together.

"That sounds wonderful." Natasha kissed me briefly and then stood up. She pulled some clothes out of the closet as well. She had made her own compartment there and I laughed when she took a t-shirt from me anyway. "I'm going to find Maria," she said, walking toward the door. "I love you Wanda. See you later."

"I love you too," I called after her still, taking a deep breath. Today I was going to get a Christmas gift for Natasha and do a little preparation for our Christmas.

I planned to get a small necklace. It was going to be silver and have a small, round ruby as a pendant. Natasha had shown me the necklace before, but hadn't bought it... I knew she would love it and got in the car to get the necklace.

The small jeweler was sandwiched between other stores on a small side street and was packed with small jewelry.

"Hello," the saleswoman greeted me, smiling as she recognized me. "You were here the other day, right?"

"Yes, that's right... I wanted to ask if the silver necklace with the ruby is still here. I found it here last...", I explained and smiled.

"Yes, we still have it here. Do you want to take it right away?", the saleswoman asked and I answered in the affirmative.

The woman put the necklace in a small black box and handed it to me. "Glad you were here." She smiled and I nodded.

"Have a nice day," I said and left the store.

Next I went to a small candy store that had become famous for different kinds of chocolates.

I just wanted to pick up a few odds and ends for Christmas and finished my shopping fairly quickly. Around 2pm I made my way back to Stark Tower.

Natasha's PoV:

I knew Maria would be with Carol so I ran to her guest room in the Tower.
