Heartbeat (Natasha x Wanda + One)

Thirteen

Allie

Three hours.

That's how long I was able to sit still after they wheeled mama into the operation room. The fact that I had lasted three hours sandwiched between her two girlfriends in the waiting room was also a surprise.

Not that I had a problem with Natasha and Wanda. It was actually more of the opposite. They were the first people that Megan has dated that I've actually liked. That I could actually see a future with them in our lives.

Of course it helped that they became foster parents for Ash.

Speaking of..

"Alright," I tell them as I stand up. "I've got things to do."

I walk away from them and almost laugh when Natasha whispers, "should we follow her?"

"You're my legal guardians until mama gets out of surgery," I call over my shoulder. "You probably shouldn't leave me unsupervised in my fragile state." I get to the door of the waiting room and look back at them, "Natasha. You coming?"

They give each other an almost comical look before Natasha stands up, "just me?"

I nod, "just you. Someone should wait here for mamas doctor. Besides, you're Ash's body guard."

That wasn't the real reason I wanted Natasha and not Wanda, but I couldn't exactly tell them the real reason. I'm not sure how they'd feel about what I was about to do, but out of the two of them, Natasha seemed like she'd be more willing to overlook the slightly illegal things that were about to happen.

Turning back around I call, "let's go!"

I'm already down the hallway when Natasha catches up to me, "so, what are you doing that you don't Wanda to know about?"

"Picked up on that huh?"

"Yeah," she chuckles. "And what makes you think I'll keep my mouth shut better than Wanda?"

We get to Ash's door and I push it open as I explain, "because out of the two of you, you're the only one that's been in jail so I figured you'd be more cool about the illegal shit that's about to happen in this room."

Her hand shoots out and grabs my arm, "how do you know about that? I wasn't even in the country when I was arrested. Wanda doesn't even know about that."

I pull my arm away from her, "what can I say? I'm a genius when it comes to finding things."

Going to my backpack, I pull out my laptop and set it on a side table before pulling Megan's phone from my pocket. I scroll through the contacts until I see one with no name but a single black heart.

Shaking my head slightly, I hit on it, connecting the call to my earbud. It only rings once before a surprised voice answers, "Vidal."

"Rio, I need your help," I say quickly, cutting to the chase.

"Allie? Where's Megan? Is she alright?" Rio questioned, her voice full of worry.

If it had been any other of mama's lawyers, I wouldn't have bothered answering her question, but Rio and mama have been friends since college and has been her lawyer for as long as I can remember. Rio and her wife Agatha even came to a few family dinners at our house over the years.
