Scarlet Witch and Vision: The Gift From Love

Surprise!

Dr. Cho had a bed ready for Wanda as soon as they arrived. She was extremely curious to see what was wrong with Wanda, as what Vision had described was like nothing she had heard of. The only thing she could think to do was an ultrasound on Wanda's womb.

"Ah, Wanda and Vision." She motioned to the bed and looked at Wanda. "You can lay down if you'd like, I'll get the ultrasound machine ready."

Wanda nervously laid down on the bed. Her hand gripped Vision's extremely tightly and she looked at him, still worried. What if she was dying? What if it wasn't curable? There were hundreds of question flying through Wanda's already racing mind. Dr. Cho slathered the protruding part of Wanda's belly with warm gel.

Vision could feel the anxiety coming from Wanda. He gripped her hand back, gave her a loving smile, and looked into her eyes. "It will be fine, my love. Whatever it is, we can get through it." At this point, Dr. Cho has started the ultrasound. She was moving the wand from spot to spot on Wanda's tummy.

Wanda looked back at Vision and simply nodded. Her throat was too dry for words. Dr. Cho looked from the monitor to Wanda, then to Vision.

"Vision, could you leave the room for a moment please? I need to discuss something with Wanda."

Vision did not want to leave the room but he knew it was protocol to follow a doctor's orders. He firmly gripped Wanda's hand, before letting it go and kissing her cheek.

"It will be fine, my love. I will be waiting right outside the door." He gave her a reassuring smile and walked out. His mind was racing with anxiety also, but he knew he had to be strong for Wanda.

Dr. Cho looked at Wanda. "Have you... Have you had sex with someone other than Vision? Around two months ago?"

Wanda's eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth. "Why exactly would you ask me this?! I am a faithful woman. In fact, I had never had sex in my entire life before Vision and I decided to yesterday morning!" Her voice was becoming angry.

Dr. Cho shook her head in confusion. "Can you explain to me then why you have a fetus in your uterus measuring at 11 weeks?"

Wanda's heart nearly stopped. "Excuse me? You... you must be mistaken. I can't be pregnant. Vision can't reproduced, we even had to use a toy... Can you check again?" Her heart was racing faster than it ever had before.

Dr. Cho turned the ultrasound screen toward Wanda. Wanda stared at it in disbelief. On the screen was an incredibly small baby. You could just barely make out the shape of it's face and tiny body on the screen but there was no mistaking it. She was pregnant. She started to hyperventilate, and her mind only raced faster. How was this possible? How was it POSSIBLE? She had never had sex with someone other than Vision! How was she going to explain it to him? He surely would leave her, thinking she had cheated. The thought of losing the love of her life, topped with the anxiety and hyperventilating coursing through her body was too much for her to handle. Her vision started going fuzzy. The last thing she remembered seeing was Vision bursting through the door, rushing over to her and laying his hand on her head.

Again, that dark place. Wanda hated it. It was getting to the point she feared sleep. Wanda collapsed onto her knees and began to sob, clutching her stomach.

"Where... where did you come from? Oh Vision... he will NEVER believe me. He's going to accuse me of cheating and he'll leave. I'll be all alone again."

Her lips parted slightly as her sobbing grew. She was facing the ground with her eyes closed when she started to hear a very faint humming. Wanda wiped her eyes and looked up to try to find the source of the new sound but she could only see the dark, empty void encapsulating her. She turned her head fast when she finally located which direction the noise was coming from, and when she squinted her still wet eyes, she saw that orange glow in the distance. She could tell it was the same one from her previous dream. Standing up, she stared at the orange glow, when she noticed it was getting closer. The closer it got, the more Wanda was entranced by the humming and the ominous glow. When the ball of light was right beside her, it started to circle her in a dancing motion. The more the ball of light danced and twirled around her, the more the fear and worry began to fade away. Once again, this light was bringing a small amount of happiness and calming to Wanda. She couldn't help but crack a very small smile. She reached out to touch the ball of light, but before her fingers could make contact, her dream ended.

Wanda woke up in the same bed she had passed out in. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked around to see if she could see Vision or even Dr. Cho. No one was around except for a nursing student. As soon as he saw Wanda was awake, he scurried off. Wanda sat up in the bed very slowly and rubbed her head, then looked down at her belly. Before she could think too much though, Vision and Dr. Cho entered the room. Vision was staring right at Wanda. As soon as she saw him, she cowered and a few tears fell.
