Wanda hummed to herself as she washed and cleaned the dishes, while watching over her sons. Wanda had noticed your clear anxiety and stress as you worked yourself to the bone before Christmas break and so she agreed to stay home and take care of everything here, while you could focus on your job at the local school. Most nights you didn't come home until 6 or 7, but tonight was especially worse, considering nearly all of the faculty had gone off on their holidays and you were one of the remaining few. But Wanda didn't mind that some nights you were too tired or stressed to give her much attention, she knew you meant well and that the only reason for you working constantly was for her sake and the boy's sake. You were a great mother and wife like that.
As Wanda tried her best to focus on the dishes, she was all of a sudden snapped from her thoughts as the lights began to flicker in the room. She only furrowed her eyebrows as she looked forward, only to see her reflection tainted and as her eyes widened it was too late. The other entity was already taking control of her body and as she groaned and fought back she could faintly hear your footsteps and the sound of the door shutting close and the last thought she thought that was her own was a quick and fleeting; Run, Y/n, take the boys and run, please...

Your POV
It had been a long day of whining and misbehaving and I was so ready to get home and hug my children as well as my wife, Wanda. The thought of Wanda brought a smile to my lips as I pushed the keys into the door, turning them in the lock I open the door, only to hear Billy and Tommy's voice as they grabbed a hold of my legs,
"Mum! You're home!"
I laugh along with them as I hug them back, closing the door behind me I kiss them both on their foreheads as I say,
"Yes, I am. If you two don't mind, could you go up to your room and get ready for bed? I'll grab Mummy and we'll both come up and tuck you into bed and say goodnight, okay? Can you do that for me?"
They both nod their heads in unison as they run to turn off the TV in the living room and grab their things, before they make their way up the stairs and towards their bedroom. I sigh in relief as I take off my shoes, placing them as well as the keys beside the door I walk farther into the room as I yell out Wanda's name,
"Wanda, darling? I'm home!"
I stop in my tracks as I notice her near the dishes. I smile, not realizing the other entity within my wife's body as I say,
"Oh good, there you are. I missed you today."
As I make my way closer towards her, my smile falters a bit as I say, hesitant,
"Wanda? Is everything okay?"
She doesn't answer me, creeping me out more. What the hell is up with her? Something's not right here.

Scarlet Witch's POV
Her voice, clear as rain drifts forward and towards me as I just stand there, dumbfounded. It had been so long since I had heard her voice I forgot the effect it had on me. I take a deep breath, not realizing the tears in the corner of my eyes I turn around, gasping for breath as my eyes settle on her y/c/e eyes. So beautiful...Her head tilts to the side as her smile is instead replaced by a frown and the knitting of her eyebrows and for a moment I believe that she knows I'm not her Wanda, but my fears are washed away as she walks up to me, grabbing me by the shoulders she hugs me, kissing me on the side of my head as she says,
"Wanda? Why are you crying? Is it because I worked over time again, when I promised you I would try and get home somewhat early? If it is I'm sorry, I should've done better for you and the boys..."
I barely register whatever she's saying as I hug her back, enjoying her arms around me as I take a large whiff of her hair, only to smile. Apple shampoo and conditioner. Classic Y/n. I whine softly as she pulls away from me, worry settling across my features as she smiles at me, her eyes crinkling at the sides as she grabs my hand in her own, saying,
"Come on, we'd better go up and say goodnight to our boys."
My boys. Our boys. I nod my head, following after her I smile for what feels like the first time in forever.

Your POV
I lay in Wanda and I's bed as I try and get to sleep, failing miserably I turn over on my side as I stare at Wanda. Pouting softly I whine at her,
"Wanda, I can't get to sleep."
She hums, pulling her lip between her teeth she says,
"Okay, how can I help?"
I chuckle, placing my hand onto her cheek I whisper,
"Could you use your powers to help me?"
She looks away, a look of intense thinking crossing her features as she says,
"Hmm, okay. You sure you want that?"
I nod my head, moving closer towards her I cuddle into her embrace as I allow her to move her fingers towards my forehead. I close my eyes, a feeling of content washing across me as a familiar fog seeps into my head. Thank you, Wanda.

Scarlet Witch's POV
I stare down at a sleeping Y/n as I sigh, getting out of bed I kiss her on her forehead as I whisper,
"I'll be right back, darling, I promise."
I pull the blankets up more on her as I make my way towards the window in the room I look back at her sleeping form, only to smile as I jump out the window. I'll be back, my sleeping beauty, I just need to do this, for us and for our boys...
