Title: That Damn MPreg Part 7: A Witch Called Wanda
Universe: Young Avengers
Rating: PG-13
Summery: Billy’s mom drops by for a visit.
Teddy put a soda on the table and pulled up a chair, his gaze flicking between Billy and Wanda. On occasions like this, he marveled at how alike the two mages actually were. They sat on opposite sides of the table, clutching mugs of identical tea (Lipton’s Instant, no milk, five sugars) and not looking at each other. A few threads of silver sparkled in Wanda’s hair, and Teddy spotted new lines around her eyes and mouth. They hadn’t been there… was it last year that they saw her? Maybe a bit longer than that…
Billy adored Wanda, but he wasn’t really comfortable around her, and it was clear Wanda felt the same way about Billy and Tommy. They brought to mind things that no one wanted to think about. So the two mages kept their distance, usually only seeing each other when on the job.
“So, Layla tells me that congratulations are in order,” Wanda said, taking a sip from her tea.
Billy nodded, smiling shyly. “We were going to call you…”
“Eventually.” Wanda finished for him with a small smile of her own. “I understand perfectly. I put off telling my father as long as I could, too.”
Billy shifted, clearing his throat, and Teddy put a hand on his. The conversation had just plunged into the Things We Don’t Talk About territory. “Yeah.”
“Although, I am a little worried, given the nature of your powers,” Wanda went on. There was no need to elaborate why, though Teddy felt the worry was unnecessary.
“Dr. Richards says that since Skrulls seem to be naturally hermaphroditic, this is actually pretty… normal.” Teddy said quickly.
These words were greeted with a puzzled frown from the Scarlet Witch. “I thought William…” she said, her gesture in Billy’s direction causing her bracelets to jingle. Both men quickly shook their heads.
“No, it’s me,” Teddy said. His words erased the slightly worried frown on Wanda’s face, and she offered him a sympathetic smile.
“How’s the morning sickness?”
