Unconditional Love (Wanda Maximoff X Fem Reader GiP)

Chapter 11

Wanda's pov

We have been looking for a house of our own in the village to raise a family. Since the thing with Strucker last week, Y/N said that she doesn't want to raise a family in the city and I don't blame her. But she has been extremely closed off since then though.

"So what do you think about this one?" She asked me as we walked through the house to the rooms.

"I think I could see us here raising our own little family." I smiled as I looked out of the window that overlooked the yard. "Our children running around while you chase them with myself shouting after you to be careful with the kids." I told her as she walked up behind me and wrapped  her arms around me making me melt in her embrace. 

"I would love to live that life with you." She whispered in my ear before kissing my head. "So is this the one?" She asked as I turned to face her. 

"Yes, it has the perfect amount of bedrooms and the perfect size garden. And it has the best kitchen that we have seen in all of the houses." I told her with a bright smile. 

"Well then, it is settled. This will be our new home." She told me before she kissed me softly. She dragged me towards the real estate agent to sign the papers. I couldn't help the bright smile on my face as she handed me the pen and I looked at her confused.

"It is going to be our home so we both should put our names on the deed." She told me with a wide smile. I signed the paper before the real estate agent went to sort something out and I looked at her. 

"But you're the one paying for it with your money." I told her quietly.

"It's our money. It became our money the moment you said yes to spending your life with me and making me the luckiest person alive." She told me as she cupped my face, looking in my eyes. 

"You are incredible." I whispered softly. 

"I only want to be the best of me for you and our future family." She told me before I pressed a gentle kiss to her lips before we were joined by the real estate agent. 

When we arrived home, I decided to start on dinner since both Pietro and Carol we're coming over for dinner. I was excited to see my twin since with our jobs it is hard to see each other. I remember being sceptic about Carol because of who she was but she proved herself to be different to her father. Well her adoptive father who happened to be Y/N's biological father. Y/N had been in the shower for an hour now and I had finished cooking. Before I could go and make sure that she is ok, the doorbell went and I let both of them in. They both greeted me with a hug before I asked them if they needed a drink. 

"Where's Y/N?" Carol asked as she noticed her absence. 

"She has been in the shower for an hour now." I told her as she gave me an understanding nod. She knows something that has resurfaced since Y/N arrested Strucker. "You know what may be the problem." I stated as Carol shook her head at me. 

"I know some things but it is not my place. I'm sorry Wanda but if you want to know what has happened, you will have to wait for her to open up." She told me. I know she is right but I can't help but worry about her. I started to set the table and Y/N still hadn't come out of our room. I excused myself and saw Y/N sat on the floor with her back against the bed.

"Baby?" I said softly before I knelt in front of her. I watched as she lifted her head to meet my gaze with her tired eyes.

"Hey princess, what time is it?" She asked me in a daze like state.

"It's just after 8pm baby. Carol and Pietro are here." I told her softly as I watched the panic in her eyes. 

"Shit! I'm so sorry, I'll be right out. I just need to shower real quick." She said urgently as I reached out to place my hand on her shoulder. 

"You've already showered baby. Are you ok?" I asked her as she looked at me confused before she ruffled her hair.

"You're right." She said softly. My concern for her was growing but now I realise that she has looked tired since the whole Strucker situation.

"Come on. Let's go and eat." I told her as I led her to the door. When we reached the dining table, she smiled at Carol and Pietro before she sat beside me. She had a lost look on her face as we conversed between us all. Only getting a hum in acknowledgement from Y/N. 

"I'm going to head to bed princess. Dinner was amazing as always." She said as she kissed my head before bidding goodbye to our guests. We all watched as she retreated back to our room and closed the door behind her.

"Has she been sleeping since they arrested him?" Carol asked me as I shrugged my shoulders. 

"She's always asleep before me and awake before me." I told her in thought. "She forgot that she had a shower before." 

"When was the last time she was like this?" She asked me as I thought long and hard.

I walked inside Nat's dorm angrily, I wanted to know since when Y/N had been back since I had just saw her with Bucky.

"Hey, where's the fire?" Nat asked me with a smirk which was gone when she saw my disshevelled state.

"When were you going to tell me that Y/N was back in New York?" I asked her shakily.

"I didn't want to set you back and I never thought that you would actually bump into each other." She told me as she gave me her full attention. 

"We never spoke, I don't even think she saw me but she was with Bucky, and she didn't look the greatest." I told her as I sat on her bed. 

"Well she has pretty much lost everyone that she cared about, especially when she lost you. If it wasn't for Bucky, I wouldn't have known they were here and he told me some things." She told me as she looked at her hands. "She hasn't been doing well since you left. She barely sleeps and she has been forgetting quite a lot of things. So I have reached out to her and we hang out sometimes." I couldn't but feel a bit betrayed. 

"So you have been hanging out with her. You're supposed to be my best friend Nat. She was the one that broke it off with me and never bothered to even reach out." I told her with tears in my eyes. 

"Listen Wan, I was her best friend before I was friends with you or Maria. Yes even though we drifted apart, well more she pulled away because of her life going to shit I still cared about her a lot. And she only broke it off with you so you could heal for you and not be dependant on her during your recovery." She told me as she beside me. "She hates herself for letting you leave and not fighting for what you both have but she knew that was what was best for you. So I have been helping her through it all and I am sorry that I never told you." 

"Nat helped her last time she went through something like this." I told her honestly.

"Maybe talk to her about it." She advised me. I nodded before we bid goodbye and I let my mind wander to my fiance in the bedroom who is supposedly asleep. 

Once I had cleaned up, I headed to the bedroom to join Y/N who was already under the covers facing the other direction. I lay down beside her staring at the ceiling before I decided to talk.

"I know you're awake baby." I stated softly as I heard her try to fake a snore. "It's no use faking it baby." I spoke as I turned on my side to face her as she moved to lay on her back.

"I'm sorry for ruining your evening." She told me without looking at me.

"You didn't ruin anything baby." I reassured her. "I just need you to talk to me. Tell me what's going on in your head because I am here for you."

"I can't." She said as she sat up with her back against the headboard. "It's too hard." 

"I am here for you when you are ready ok." I told her as I pulled her into my arms. I have never seen her like this before, even when we were younger. She seems more vulnerable than I have ever seen before. She just nodded against my chest as I held her safely in my arms.
