You were finally back home—a home that was new to Wanda—waiting for Happy to arrive with Ethan. As you showed her around with Pietro and Irina, you could not help your smile at the wonder on her face. "After everything happened, we moved out of the compound and got this place because we knew that you would have loved to have a place of your own."
She smiled, turning to you as you held her hand. "I love it," she said, leaning in to kiss you. The tour was over sooner rather than later because she could stay still for more than two seconds. She was antsy as she sat by the window, staring out onto the driveway where her son would be arriving soon.
You were kneeling in front of her, laying your head on her lap as one of your hands just stroked her thigh. Her hand carded through your hair as you sat there. You rested your chin up to look at her again. "I love you so much," you told her. "I've missed you every day of my life and I've spent every second wishing I could find you again."
Her eyes teared up at your confession and she tried to wipe them away, but you just grabbed her hand in yours and kissed the back of it. "I wanted to ask you this a long time ago, and now that I have you back, I can," you said.
You pulled the black box from your pocket and presented it to her, opening it to show a delicate ring with a small diamond in the center of the band and rubies lining the sides. "I've been holding onto this for five years," you admitted, chuckling lightly as you watched her awestruck smile.
"Wanda, will you marry me?" you asked. You wanted to have those nerves that everyone had when they proposed, the anxiety that came with the potential of rejection... but there was part of you that knew that this was right, that there was no way this could end up in a really bad screw up. This was you and Wanda, and you wanted nothing more than to make her yours forever.
She nodded as she wiped away more tears, "Of course, Y/N. Yes!" She pulled you forward and kissed you, a strong kiss that had you pulling her closer as you slid the ring on her finger. You wrapped your arms around her in a way that ensured she would never be pulled from them again. She was yours, and you were hers.
And the honk that came from the driveway told you that "both of yours" was here.
You and Wanda pulled away to look out of the window. Wanda's face brightened and she stood up, grabbing your hand in hers as she pulled you up to your feet. The door opened before she even reached it as scarlet magic curled around the doorknob.
As she stood in the doorway, her eyes locked with her little boy as he looked back at her with Nova at his side. "Mommy?" he asked, tears beginning to spill down his cheeks. They ran toward one another, meeting in the middle as Wanda knelt down to hug Ethan. Happy stood there by the car, his hand on the door as he closed it.
His arms wrapped tightly around her as Nova excitedly barked and ran around them. Wanda pulled him closer as she ran a hand through his hair and kissed his forehead. "Hey, sweetheart. Oh, goodness. You look so handsome, you've grown so much," she told him.
You watched as you slowly walked over to them, sitting on the porch where Irina and Pietro slowly joined you. Pietro called Nova, and she came running over so they had a moment. "I missed you so much, Mommy," he cried. "Don't leave us again, please."
She shook her head, sniffling gently, "No, never." She pulled back again, her thumbs stroking his cheeks and wiping away his tears. Again, she shook her head, "I'm not going anywhere. None of us are anymore."
Ethan smiled and hugged her again. Wanda looked back at you with a watery smile, motioning for you to join them as you stood and sunk down beside your soon-to-be wife and you son. As your arms wrapped around him, one of his left to hold you as well. "We love you, baby," Wanda whispered to him, kissing his forehead again.
"I love you, too," he nodded.
Pietro and Irina watched with a smile, holding each other close with Nova at their side.

You held a hand on Ethan's shoulder as Wanda's placed over the other. You pulled him in front of you, running a hand through his hair before adjusting the tie of his suit. Wanda glanced down at him as she saw him wipe some tears from his eyes and bent down to kiss his cheek. Pietro stood with Irina pulled to his chest, watching as Pepper led a line out of Tony's lake house with a large wreath in one hand and Morgan's hand in the other.
It was Tony's funeral. It was a solemn day but seeing everyone who had come in honor of him was, to some extent, heartwarming.
Pepper walked gently to the lake, stopping on the dock. She leaned forward with Morgan and set the flowers on the water to let it slowly drift away. Sitting on the flowers was an arc reactor, one of Tony's first, framed with the words "Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart".
You turned with your little group to watch out over the lake. Sam and Bucky came to join your side. Bucky's arm wrapped around you in a side hug and Sam was next as he nodded gently to you.
You looked at Wanda and gave her a soft smile, which she returned before leaning over to kiss your cheek. She rested her head on your shoulder and you leaned yours atop hers, reaching down to grab Ethan's hand.
When everyone broke away to speak to one another, Wanda turned when she saw Clint retreat to the lakeside. She turned to you and rubbed your back before breaking away to see him. She joined his side silently, looking out over the lake without a word.
Clint was the one to break the silence. "You know, I wish there was a way that I could tell her...that we won." He looked at Wanda with a sad smile, "We did it."
Wanda looked at him with her own smile, reaching a hand out to rub his back as she set her head on his shoulder. "She knows," she nodded. She let out a quiet sigh, "They both do."
Even with everything that happened to him, because of him, Vision had been a dear friend to Wanda—a difficult friend, but a friend nonetheless. She missed him and his stupid quirks but, one look at the family she had and the life she was ready to live, and she just smiled and nodded her head. "They know." Clint smiled and nodded, eventually leaving with Wanda to go greet their families again.
You smiled at her return, bringing her back into your side. Laura and her kids had joined just a moment ago, greeting Ethan as they got to know each other by a bench. Laura and Clint joined each other's sides as the three soulmates looked between one another.
Laura smiled, "You guys did good."
"Thanks," Pietro said, wrapping an arm tighter around Irina. "I was hoping so."
Clint gestured his head toward the two of you, "So we have two weddings to attend soon, I see."
You and Pietro chuckled as you nodded, looking down at the ring Wanda had bought you after the proposal. "Yeah," Wanda smiled. "Long overdue, I think."
Irina admired her own ring for a moment, "That's for sure." A laugh was scattered around at that before Ethan suddenly came running over.
"Mom, can we visit Clint's farm?" he asked, looking between the both of you.
Wanda ran both her hands through his hair as she looked up at Clint, "That's a question for them." She pointed at him and Ethan turned around to ask the same question.
Clint nodded before he could even ask the question, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Whenever you want, buddy." He exclaimed and ran away again toward the siblings he had just come from.
Irina turned to Pietro and whispered to him, "I want one."
He chuckled, pulling her closer as he whispered back to her so no one else would be able to hear, "You'll get five." She blushed and turned back to him with a chuckle.
You nodded and rubbed Wanda's back again, turning to whisper in her ear. "Yeah, we did good."
