It was now the '80s. Will and I were at the grocery store getting food for Wanda and Vision as they take care of their newborn twin boys. Wanda was in the living room bouncing her baby Tommy to get him to sleep. Her hair was in a perm, and part of it was tied back with a scrunchie. "Sweet, sweet Tommy, don't you wanna sleep? Mommy wants to sleep. If you go to sleep, I promise you will be my favorite twin." Wanda says.

"Oh, come on now, darling, you know we love them both equally." Vision says as he walks down the stairs, carrying Billy.

"Well, don't tell him that," Wanda says, which made Vision chuckle. "No luck with Billy?"

"Tried reading to him, but for some reason, Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man made him cry even harder." Vision says. He walks over to Wanda. "Oh. Care to dance, darling?" As Wanda and Vision walked closer to each other, they continued to bounce the babies in their arms and smiled at each other.

"It's almost like we're on a date," Wanda says

"It's almost like we're on a date," Wanda says.

"Keep it down, lads, I was about to get my leg over," Vision says, which made Wanda chuckle.

"Vis? Would you mind grabbing their binkies?" Wanda asks.

"Oh. 'Course not. Binkies all round, I think." Vision says. Wanda and Vision lay Tommy and Billy in their cribs. Vision walks into the kitchen to get the binkies, and Wanda looks at the twins.

"Now, I know parents aren't supposed to take shortcuts, but I think this situation calls for one, don't you?" Wanda says as the babies continue to cry. "So, go to sleep, my babies." She tries to use her powers to get them to stop crying, but it doesn't work. They cry louder. "And go to sleep."

She tries again, but the babies laugh. "Why, I don't think it's very funny. Why won't you do what I want?"

"What's that, dear?" Vision asks as he walks back into the living room with the binkies on either side of his head. Wanda chuckles.

"That is not where those go!" Wanda says, pulling the binkies out of Vision's head.

"The noise cancellation is not their primary function?" Vision asks.

Wanda wipes the binkies, places them into the babies mouths, and they stop crying. "Look, I think it's..." Before Wanda could finish what she was saying, the twins spat the binkies out of their mouths and started crying again.

"Vis?"

"Hmm?"

"What are we doing wrong?" Wanda asks.

"Oh, don't worry, dear." Vision says as he wraps an arm around Wanda and kisses her. "We'll figure it out. Perhaps we all need more time to get to know one another."

"Maybe. Or maybe we just need some help." Wanda says. Suddenly, they hear the doorbell ring, and Vision walks to the couch.

"Hey, guys! We're back from the store!" I say as I use my powers to open the front door.
