Two Oruguitas (Marvel Fanfic)

Chapter 46: The Nightmare

🦋Chapter 46: The Nightmare🦋

All of the sudden, I heard the sound of babies crying, baffling me. I followed the sound to find it in an abandoned room. There were two babies lying on the ground engulfed in blankets. One of them had my tan skin with chocolate brown eyes, while the other had bluish greenish eyes. I stared at them in disbelief. They are real? 

I dared to approach them, hesitating before entering their minds to see if they truly are real of if they were an illusion, my mind playing cruel tricks on me. However, I felt their emotions; their fear and their confusion. They also had thoughts, wondering where they were and where their mother was. I could even feel their faint but strong and healthy heartbeats. The Hex was gone, and upon inspecting I realized who they are, especially upon seeing the crucifix that lied on one of the twins, on the baby girl.

They are the twins, the ones I gave birth to while the Hex was up. They are Andrew Enoch and Sofia Donna....My breath hitched. They are real. But how? I never had sex as I was waiting until I was married. It was something I chose to do as my beliefs are a part me, the core of who I am. It was what my family taught me and what I chose to continue following. So why is this happening? Why can't I remember what happened? Who was the father? Was it Stephen? I felt terrified. Am I ready to be a mother? I take care of babies that are supposedly mine, but I have no recollection of being pregnant with the exception of the Hex or let alone how they came to be.

The crying snapped me out of my thoughts. Immediately, I gently picked them up, scooping the babies into my arms. As soon as their eyes locked with mine, I felt a sense of peace and joy all at once. Their crying immediately stopped as small smiles appeared on their faces, letting out coos. My heart warmed as a smile grew on my face. All the fear I had washed away and it was replaced by such a joy I couldn't explain. I felt so happy like when I was in the Hex. There is not anything I would not do for these children. Tears of joy pricked my eyes as I let out a laugh.

"Hey, it's me, your mom. I'm here. And I won't let anything happen to either one of them." I assured them.

Upon hearing my words, both of them wore smiles as they let out another coo. Once I walked out of the abandoned home, which returned to its old form with the vines growing on the walls, the front door about to fall off the porch. Wanda stood outside, wearing the same outfit she had when we first arrived here in this town, wearing a grim look.

"I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused." Wanda apologized.

"I understand. You were in so much pain. You didn't mean any of this. But I want to thank you for all this. You gave me a life that I always wanted, but will never get. So I thank you for that valuable time and for helping me face the truth." I mentioned, giving her a grateful smile. "I'm not mad, Wanda. I'm grateful."

Wanda cracked a smile. "Thank you...for not being mad at me."

"You're my friend, Wanda. I could never be mad at you." I assured her.

She then noticed the babies I carried in my arms. Wanda was taken back when she saw them, shocked. I understood. Honestly, I didn't know to explain it as I fully didn't understand it myself.

"Yeah, I can't explain this myself either, but they're real." I stated.

Wanda merely nodded, remaining silent. No doubt, her head was swarming with endless questions of my twins. I don't blame her though. My own mind was consumed with lots of questions of myself as well.

Both of us then walked back in the town square in silence, seeing all the civilians staring at Wanda, glaring at her as we kept walking on until we reached Monica.

"They'll never know what you sacrificed for them." Monica commented.

"It wouldn't change how they see me." Wanda mentioned. "And you, you don't...You don't hate me?"
