It had been three months since Wanda had been adopted. Maria and Nat loved their new daughter to pieces and after a month of wanda living with them she started calling Nat mama and Maria mom and she started attending school. Her life had improved massively, mentally and physically, although she was still very reserved and preferred to have her music for company instead of actual people. She still improved from when she was in the group homes Wanda had lived in, she hadn't had the best eating habits sometimes skipping meals for days at a time due to a depressive episode. Or when her anxiety made her to nauseous to even take a bite of food or she would throw her guts up. Her physical health had improved rapidly now she had the right support and actually ate healthy and sustainable meals.

Her mental health had been significantly better now that she had the privacy of her own bedroom that she had the freedom to decorate however she wanted to. She got a new therapist called Beth that didn't dismiss Wanda's emotions like her old one. Beth actually listened and tried to understand. She put helpful coping method in place for Wanda. Beth also made Nat and Maria aware of her safety plan incase of a set back no matter how big or how small a set back it may be. Nat and Maria tried their hardest to understand Wanda's mental health issues and support her through the hard day's.
When she went through a depressive episode they made sure Wanda ate at least one meal on those days. All of the panic attacks they were their holding her hand, helping her through them.

The first few weeks were admittibly rough for everyone involved. Wanda was unsure and timid, she didn't know how to feel or deal with her feelings and her new parents soon realised that Wanda never asked for help, she didn't know how to. She didn't want to be a burden on her new parents and for them to get bored of her and send her back. It had happened to Wanda before. No matter how much reassureance they gave the young girl she never did believe them.

And that brings us to today, it was a Friday night and Wanda had been in her room for the last two hours trying to do her maths homework, she just couldn't understand it and was on the verge of crying. She had homework for two other classes that she hadn't even started on and time was ticking on, she could practically hear the minutes passing. "Wanda Hun it's time for dinner!" Marias voice rung through the hallway as she made her way to her daughter's room and knocking on the open door before entering. "Are you coming down? Aunt Lena made Mac and cheese!" Maria said excitedly knowing it was Wanda's favourite and that wanda loved yelenas cooking. "I'm not to hungry right now mom.." Wanda whispered out. "Are you sure? You didn't eat breakfast this morning before you left and you told us the schools cafeteria food was shit.." Maria said trying to persuade her daughter into eating as she lightly chuckled at the memory. "I'm sure mom I need to finish this anyway I don't want detention" Wanda said quietly still working on the third question, twenty two left she thought to herself.

"hunny how long have you been working on this for?" Maria said worriedly knowing how stressed and worked up Wanda got. "Since I got back from school.." Wanda muttered quietly. "Have you taken a break yet?" Maria said asking the question with suspicion evident in her voice and was met with a quiet no from her daughter. Maria replied in a kind voice while pulling the young girls body to face her while she leaned against the desk "I know you value your school work Wanda but me and mama have said that school is second to your health" Wanda just nodded and stuttered out "Can y-you help me with-h my homework after dinner the-n?" Maria knowing how hard that question was for Wanda nodded back in response and slung an arm around her daughters shoulders leading her downstairs "of course I will but not tonight, tomorrow Now miss come on we have Mac and cheese to eat!!" as Wanda laughed as the went downstairs.

"There you two are! I thought you got lost babe!" Nat exclaimed as she pecked Maria's lips and kissed Wandas head. "Hi mama" Wanda said with tiredness evident in her voice as she sat at the table in her designated place waving at Yelena happily as a hello when she spoke and said "thank you aunt Lena!" All three adults shared a glance over Wanda's head as they sat down to eat and Maria mouthed 'talk later" as a reply not wanting to upset her daughter.

After dinner wanda made a move to go upstairs. "Nope little miss, it's Friday night meaning movie night!!" Maria said happily. "And it's my turn to pick!" Yelena added with child like passion. "Your homework can wait hunny, you still have tomorrow so come help me with the snacks!!" Nat said comfortingly. "Okay.." Wanda said.

As they were cuddled up on the couch with popcorn and chocolate. Wanda started to get more and more tired slowly leaning into her moms more and more as time passed. By the time the credits were rolling Wanda had cuddled into Nat, her head in Nats neck and the rest of her body lying across Maria. Yelena was fast asleep tucked into Marias side. "Same arrangement as last week?" Maria mused at their small family. "Yep" Nat said as she picked wanda up bridal style and Maria doing the same as they carried the girls to their bedrooms.

Nat was putting Wanda to bed when Maria stood in the doorway admiring her wife put her daughter to bed. "I know your there Maria stop starring, it's rude yaknow" Nat said. "I know but you two look so adorable together, how can I not?" Maria fired back. "touche" her wife said.

Once Nat and Maria were in bed after saying goodnight to yelena and Wanda. They sat in bed and were talking about everything and nothing when Maria mentioned Wanda's request about her homework. "Wanda asked me to help her with her homework earlier" Maria said casually. "What? that's great!" Nat replied happily. "Yea it is I'm really proud of her for it, she was still scared but I think she realised that it was okay to ask for help" Maria explained to her wife who nodded along to show she was listening. "Is that why she looked tired at dinner?" Nat asked. "Yea the poor girl was close to tears when I walked in" Maria said worriedly. "Progress is still progress I mean, she asked for help! Beth must be helping alot more than we thought" Nat said thinking out loud. "Yea" Maria replied mid-yawn. "Goodnight babe, love you" Maria said happily. "Goodnight babe, love you more" Nat said - being competitive as always. "Not possible.." Maria said softly.
