You and your loving doe wife had quite the life. Two rambunctious boy deer hybrids and a little precocious toddler of a deer daughter.
What more could you need?
That was the question Wanda found herself asking as she watched you on morning. The boys were watching old sitcoms, eating their bowls of cereal. You were stuck chasing your little daughter Natalie around the living room. The little girl’s giggles echoed out.
“I’m gonna get you!” You called out happily, “I’m gonna get you Natalie!”
Tommy laughed to himself, “if it was me I would’ve already caught her”
“Then go get her, doofus” Billy laughed before playfully punching his twin in the arm.
Wanda observed all this while drinking a cup of tea. You were so good with the kids. What more could they need?
And then the thought came. No it couldn’t. Maybe? You and her were still young enough. You weren’t some old couple or anything.
Yes. She decided. Wanda knew she wanted another baby.
“More. Definitely more” she giggled to herself.
You held your toddler in your arms and stood up, “what, my doe?”
“N-Nothing” she quickly covered her lips with her porcelain cup of tea again.
Billy and Tommy looked between you and their mom, a little confused.
Wanda thanked every deity possible that the sound of the school bus arriving interrupted the moment. Wanda gave her antlers a rub of good luck as the boys ran out the door.
You put little Natalie in her play bouncer and turned to Wanda.
“Wanna talk about what ‘definitely more’ means?”
Wanda buried her face in her hands, her doe tail wiggling in nervousness. She figured she might as well just come out and say it.
“Come on my doe.” You gently and jokingly prodded her, “you can tell me anything”
“I-I want another baby, my buck” she blurted out before covering her mouth. A small gasp escaped her lips. Did she really just say that aloud?!
You were left stunned, “y-you want another baby. W-with me?”
Wanda rolled her eyes, “who else would I have a baby with, Detka?”
“This would make four. Five if we still count Pietro.”
Wanda sighs, “I know I know. But I know we do such a wonderful job. And Pietro has his wife Natasha and little America and their newborn and—“
“My wonderful doe of a wife wants another baby with me” you couldn’t help but smile. “How can I say no?”
Wanda giggled and jumped into your arms. “Thank you my buck! Thank you!”
You could help but hug her tightly, “thank you Wanda”
“We should probably run this past the boys before we make anything official”
You couldn’t help but agree.
That night after dinner, after the boys had finished their homework, you and Wanda sat them down in your living room.
“Boys, we need to talk to you about something” Wanda said while you balanced little Natalie on your hip.
The boys immediately looked up.
“Your mom and I have been talking and…well…” you tried to explain.
“Your poppa and I are thinking about maybe having another baby. We love you both so much and of course little Natalie”
Wanda gave her little daughter a kiss. The infant giggled happily.
“We just…” you tried to accentuate it, “we want to expand our little family.”
Billy spoke up, “really?”
Wanda replied, “yes really. And we want your opinions on the matter. Because that’s what families do”
The twin boys looked to each other before immediately cheering in delight.
“I want a little brother!” Tommy exclaimed.
“Can it be another little sister?!” Billy asked happily.
You and Wanda looked to each other with a giggle. It was a family meeting that couldn’t have gone any better.
