Baby Witch| Baby Wanda Maximoff

babysitting with the gods

No One's POV
  During the couple of days after Loki and Thor arrived on Earth, both gods seemed to become attached to Wanda. Everyone knows that Wanda has Loki wrapped around her little finger, even though he denies it.

"woe-ee (Loki) mmgh" Wanda mumbled, sitting on the ground, holding her arms out with sleepy eyes. Loki sat up from the couch and kneeled down to pick her up.

"Clint did inform me you normally take naps during the day, little one. Perhaps it is the time for one." Loki said mainly to himself. "woe-ee" she grabs a handful of his shirt and cuddled into his embrace.

She whines as she couldn't find a comfortable spot. "Now now child, I got you. Shh" Loki sat back onto the couch and laid Wanda on his chest. After a moment, she stopped moving around and snuggled closer in the crook of his neck. "Shh rest now little butterfly."

"mgh no seep" Wanda whimpered, rubbing her eyes. "and why not Wanda?" Loki asked, but made the effort to stroke her hair to calm and possibly make her fall asleep, which was working. "b-ba men" she said drowsily, obviously trying to fight the sleepiness.

"It's alright child, no one shall harm you. I'll be here the entire time and if they do come, I shall protect you little one." He said I'm firmly. Wanda lifted her head and looked at him with her big green eyes. "p-pinky pwomise?" She asked in a small voice.

Loki is definitely not a person to keep his promises, so he was just a second away shooting his signature smirk and decline her request, but when he didn't respond for a couple of minutes, she whimpered and tried to get out of his hold. That's when he snapped out of his daze.

"Shh shhh shh. I'm sorry child. Hush now, I promise I'll be here with you the entire time and protect you. I promise." Loki reassured, trying to calm her down by rubbing circles on her back and stroking her hair soothingly. After a couple of minutes of Wanda struggling, she finally let out a cry of defeat.

"I do apologize Wanda, something went over me. I do promise to be here when you awaken." He said quietly. "woe-ee say (stay)" she said with watery eyes. "Yes Wanda, I will. Now rest my little butterfly." He hummed, still stroking her hair.

Wanda laid her head on his shoulder and quietly sniffled. "I'm sorry child, but if I am being honest, I'm growing quite fond of you." He whispers quietly. Wanda's eyes begin to droop at his calming voice.

But right before she welcomed the darkness, she mumbled three words. "wove ou woe-ee". (love you loki)

Loki froze. No one beside Thor has ever said those words to him before, not even his adopted parents. Even with Thor, he just says if because we're brothers, so it's not really true. Right?

"I am quite fond of you too." He replied, not putting up the courage to say the three words. Quiet breathing can be heard in response.

Not too long after, Loki fell asleep holding Wanda close so she wouldn't fall. Everyone was in an Avenger's meeting with SHIELD and Pepper was in Florida, so no one else could babysit Wanda besides Loki.

Surprisingly, Clint was the one who volunteered Loki to babysit, because he wouldn't trust anyone else, and he agreed, saying something like "Gods should be the ones making the orders..", but overall babysat wanda.

In all honesty, the team kind of put Loki to the test, seeing if he had any motives to hurt Wanda or the team, but after watching the live video, they knew for sure Loki was an ally, not an enemy no more. They could also trust Loki with any new information they find about Wanda.

Since Thor has already knew teenage Wanda, he was even more protective then he was before, but sometimes clueless. He forgets sometimes how fragile babies are and how they need to be taken care of. Surprisingly, Loki already knows what's good and bad for infants and is getting tired of teaching Thor what to do; mainly what not to do.
