“I’m sorry Maria. I didn’t mean to imply you weren’t doing anything, I just… I’m always angry since I know he’s been arrested. I’m so worried for him…”

Normal Morning || Barton Family

Wanda smiled at Cooper as she ate her breakfast. She liked when the boy was happy, a brightness filled the area around him and calmed her nerves. “Practice has not been taking away from your school work and helping around the farm, has it?”

Clint nodded. He saw the bowl fall out of the corner of his eye, but without his hearing aides in he didn’t hear the clatter on the floor. He was glad that Laura was letting him hold her so closely or he wouldn’t have been able to hear her speak. “I can do that. Nat’s been really good about getting the higher ups to give W a long leash.”

Cooper shook his head. “No, Dad only let’s me practice for three hours a day. Cause he is mean and stuff.” He said. He pitched the noise of his words quiter so his father wouldn’t hear. 

Lila looked at him. “No fair calling Daddy names before he has his hearing aids in.” 

Laura sighed when the bowl fell. Then more at the argument. She stepped out of Clint’s hold to pick up the bowl. “Rules children.”

Normal Morning || Barton Family

[weirdandfast]

She hummed, resting her cheek against the side of Lila’s head. “Well, I cannot miss that, can I? I think I can talk Natasha into letting me stay.” Wanda hoped that she could, anyway. She let herself get caught up in the warm feeling of her sleepy adopted family surrounding her.

The scent of freshly cooked eggs pulled Wanda from her drifting by setting her stomach rumbling. She shifted Lila on her lap, just a little, so she could more easily get to her plate.

Clint leaned into the kiss, chasing after her mouth with his own. His eyes were barely open, and he wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her close for longer. “Nah. Not when everyone else is up and movin’ around.” He hummed again and stole a kiss of his own. “How long we get the kid for?”

[thefamilybarton]

Cooper smiled and got a little more hyper when Wanda said that she thought she could stay. That would be just perfect. Wanda there to see him. Also, if she was there and he missed no one would get hurt if he missed the second shot to keep them safe.

Lila adjusted when Wanda moved so the older girl was still holding her but able to eat. She kept nibbling on her toast sleepy.

Laura was going to catch the bowl little Nathanial was trying to toss on the floor. But then Clint kissed her again and pulled her in tight to him. She let her head fall to his chest and nuzzled close for just a second. When he held her like this he was for sure safe and she savored every moment. “At least a couple days, you need to talk to Nat to let her be here Friday.”

Wanda smiled a little wider at the children and lifted Lila obediently. She settled the little girl on her hip. “You are both so good for your father.” She placed a smacking kiss against Lila’s temple before she settled into the girl’s chair at the table.

“Thank you, Laura.” Wanda felt more settled than she did at the Avengers facility and it was all because of this family that had been willing to include her as one of their own. “I am only here for a few days.”

Clint rubbed sleepily at his own eyes, just like his kids, and moved toward the coffee maker. “Mmm, coffee.” A large mug was already set out for him, lightly sugared and still hot. He hummed as he took a long swallow.

Cooper went back to his food but he pouted. “Couldn’t you stay tell Friday, Wanda? I got a talent show at school.” He smiled at her as the hyperness slowly made the tiredness slide away. “I’m gunna do some archery that Pop has been showing me it is going to be epic.”

Lila snuggled close to Wanda when she was was picked up. She adjusted when they sat down so she was still leaning tiredly on the older girl. But she grabbed her toast nibbling on it absently.

Laura moved and slide more eggs on Lila’s plate for Wanda to eat. She then slide some toast in the toaster and poured the girl a glass of milk. “Your always welcome.” She got to her husband after his sip of coffee and tip toed up to steal a kiss. “You sir, should still be asleep.” She smirked at him lingering close for a second.

She watched as Laura made breakfast, Nathaniel babbling away in his high chair while Cooper and Lila swayed sleepily in their own seats at the table. It had been a few weeks since she’d been there last, and she wanted her arrival to be a surprise. 

On silent feet, she slipped into the kitchen proper and snuck up behind Cooper. She tweaked his left ear and moved quickly to his other side, a soft smile brightening her face. “School is soon. You should not be so sleepy.”

[thefamilybarton]

Cooper felt the tug on his ear and looked over. He smiled when he saw his big sister Wanda. Well that is what he called her. He shrugged. “We helped Daddy with farm stuff last night. My arms are heavy.”

Lila nodded her head with her brother’s comment as she slid out out of her chair and walked the few steps to Wanda. She held up her arms her eyes half closed.

Laura looked behind her with a smile. “Breakfast is almost done if you want to join.” She said to the girl her and her husband and let into there little family. She was alone. But not any longer.
