(Ten Years) ~ Elizabeth Olsen

9 ~ Aiden

Lizzie POV

The next day, I pick up Y/N, Mia, and Aiden at the hospital with a rental car. The hospital thankfully lends us a car seat for Aiden. Y/N seems like she got sleep which makes me feel better about leaving her last night.

Y/N puts the address to her brother's home into the car's GPS and I start the drive once she makes sure the kiddos are ready to go. It looks like they have a house on the outskirts of the city and I briefly let my mind wander to a suburban life. Wait, back to the kids Lizzie.

Both kiddos are completely okay. Their little bodies might be sore for a while and they have bruises from the seat belts but otherwise they are completely fine.

Y/N stares down at Bradley's briefcase the entire ride, fiddling with the keys in her hands.

"Auntie. Turn it up." Aiden requests and I smile. That's the first I've heard him talk and he has such a sweet little voice. Y/N turns the volume up without question and peeks back at him to make sure he's happy. I look in the rear view and see his lips moving as he sings.

"Mia, we will get you a phone later okay?" Y/N prompts the teenager who hums in acknowledgment. Hers was destroyed in the crash. "Are you excited for your super cool aunt to make your popularity go through the roof or what?" Y/N teases and turns around to smile goofily at her niece.

"You're not cool Auntie." She declines but I catch her hiding a smile in the rear view.

Aiden starts singing louder and Y/N takes the cue to shut up. Apparently she is interrupting his concert. I can't stop smiling at his little voice. He's actually really good.

"Music is one of his special interests." Y/N explains and I nod. Makes sense. "If I wasn't a lesbian I would think he's my child." She adds on and I laugh lightly.

Pam decided to go get groceries for the home and we text her to pick up a new phone for Mia once we get to the house. Mia is quick to get out of the car and I realize she was probably so quiet because she was scared to be in a car again.

I open the back door for Aiden and he stares up at me for a second before looking away. "Hey bud, are you ready to go inside?" I ask and he hums but doesn't offer a response.

"Yes, Wanda." He decides and unbuckles, getting out of the car and carefully taking my hand. Y/N walks around the front of the car with their stuff that was recovered from the scene and smiles at Aiden.

"Hey, Aiden. Do you want to show Lizzie your action figures?" She asks and he gasps before bouncing in his spot.

"Yes. Come on, Wanda." He prompts and Y/N giggles at his use of my character's name.

"At least he knows who you are." She shrugs and I let it happen. I'm cool with being Wanda if it means he continues to like me. I can tell he's very important to Y/N.

He drags me to his playroom and prompts me to sit down before pulling out a box of action figures. "Look, it's you." He points out and hands over a Wanda figure.

"That is me. She's kind of cool huh?" I ask and he hums, rubbing his hand along his thigh.

"Yes. I like Spider-Man better." He replies bluntly.

"That's okay. Spider-Man is cool too." I reply and watch as he sets up scenes that he plays out with the figures. I think about going to help Y/N but she looks in and smiles before leaving us alone so maybe she's good.

We play together for at least an hour before Pam walks through the front door.

"Auntie Pam, it's Wanda." Aiden introduces us pointing at me and she smiles warmly at him.
