Yelena helped get you buckled into your car seat as you cried and threw a fit, you absolutely hated getting buckled into your car seat. "It's okay, malen'kiy. Here, do you want to cuddle with your Tigey?" Yelena said as she did her best to distract you.
You clung onto your tiger friend and drooled all over his soft fur as your auntie Yelena spoke softly to you.
"Do we have everything?" Kate asked as she loaded both of their suitcases into Nat and Wanda's new SUV that looked a lot like a fancy soccer mom van.
"Da, I believe we do. We even have the precious cargo all buckled in." Yelena said as she smiled at her handiwork of getting you buckled into your car seat. It was going to be a long drive to visit Melina and Alexei.
Wanda and Natasha walked outside with the remainder of their belongings, "alright, lets go before traffic gets bad. Does anyone need to use the restroom before we leave?" Wanda asked as she made eye contact with everyone.
Kate awkwardly stood as she felt Yelena's gaze land on her, "I'll go just in case." She said as she ran back into the house to use the bathroom. Everyone knew that her bladder was like a squirrel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The first four hours were a breeze as there wasn't a whole lot of traffic and you had slept for most of the time, but now you were hungry and you hated being confined to your car seat. You cried loudly as you refused to drink the cold breast milk that Kate was trying to feed you from one of your bottles.
"Uh… I think Y/n wants one of her mama's. Wanda, is there a way we can pull over?" Kate asked as she did her best to comfort you.
Natasha pointed to a gas station and helped Wanda navigate as she did her best to put out calming pheromones. "Alright, let's make sure we walk around and stretch our legs. Wanda has made us all sandwiches, they are in the cooler. Kate, make sure you go to the bathroom at least two times before we regroup. Let's meet back in thirty minutes."
Yelena playfully rolled her eyes, "yes, mom. We're not kids." She joked playfully.
Natasha turned and faced her sister and stuck her tongue out, "you will always be my annoying kid sestra."
Everyone let out a relieved sigh as Wanda had parked the SUV and everyone had gotten out to stretch their legs. Wanda had picked you up and grabbed your diaper bag. She noticed that you were wet and she hoped that you didn't have a diaper rash.
Wanda was quick but thorough in changing your diaper and dressing you into a warmer onesie. The temperature was due to drop late into the evening and she didn't want you to get sick. "Are you hungry, my little tiger?" Your mama asked as she kissed your forehead. She noticed that you felt warmer than normal.
"Does she feel warm to you?" Wanda asked Natasha as she handed you to her.
Natasha frowned a bit as she felt your forehead and cheeks and noticed how your little face looked flush. "Let's see how she feels after feeding. She did just wake up and she is always a bit warm after a nap. Why don't you go eat with the others? I'll feed y/n and I'll drive the rest of the way." Nat suggested as she was already unclipping her bra and helping you latch onto her.
Wanda felt worried about you, but she knew that Nat was right. She needed to eat and rest since she had done most of the driving. "Thank you detka. Lyublyu tebya."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Once everyone had eaten and gone to the bathroom, they all got back into the SUV and prepared to travel the rest of the way. Kate had put on a baby sensory video on her phone for you to watch, and Wanda had swapped seats with Yelena so that she could sit in the backseat with you.
She instinctively placed one of your baby blankets over your lap as she watched you shiver slightly. Her instincts were screaming at her that you were coming down with a cold. Just to be safe she had bought some infant Tylenol medication at the corner store.
Natasha and Yelena shared memories of their childhood with each other as they listened to their favorite music. Kate had fallen asleep and had her head resting on the side of your car seat. Wanda took the opportunity and took a picture of Kate asleep and holding your hand. It seemed as though the sensory video had put Kate to sleep before it had put you to sleep.
You were sleeping soundly sucking on your pink dino pacifier as you let the sound of ocean waves and lullabies lull you into a restful sleep. You felt warm, safe and surrounded by love.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Melina and Alexei were waiting anxiously outside of their home. They had only met you once and at that time you weren't out as a little. All they had been told was that you would be coming with Natasha and Yelena for the holidays and that you were a little.
Melina ran to the SUV excited to see her daughters and their girlfriends. Her eyes got big when Wanda carried a car seat with a sleeping baby out of the back seat.
"Mama, it's so good to see you." Natasha said as she hugged her stunned mother.
"Where did you get a baby? Wait… is that y/n? But how?" Melina asked as her scientific mind was trying to figure out how you were physically in an infant body.
"Come, let's go inside. I don't want y/n to catch a cold." Natasha said as she motioned for everyone to make their way towards the house.
Alexei was just as shocked but he also felt a new excitement over the possibility of a change in their family dynamic, "so does that mean I'm a grandpa?"
Everyone chuckled and smiled as they made their way inside the warm cabin. "Come on, grandpa." Yelena called out as she winked at him playfully. The man looked like a jolly Santa with how his face had lit up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wanda unclipped you from the car seat and smiled when your eyes met hers. You gave an adorable yawn as you stretched in her arms. "Hello, my love. Are you ready to meet your babushka and dedushka?"
Melina tried her best to hide the tears from her eyes as you were placed in her open arms. Being a black widow in her younger years made it impossible for her to ever have biological children. She never knew that she would ever truly have the experience of being a grandmother.
"Hello, y/n. It's nice to meet you again. I'm so happy that I get to be your babushka." Melina said as she felt warm tears fall down her face. You were looking at her with so much love and curiosity.
There wasn't a dry eye in the cozy living room as Melina handed you to her husband who was anxiously waiting to be able to hold you.
"Am I doing it right? I've never held a baby so small." Alexei said as he carefully cradled you in his big arms. He looked up at his family surrounding him and he was overwhelmed by so many emotions.
"You're doing great old man. Just make sure you support her head. She isn't quite crawling yet." Natasha said as she smiled warmly at her parents.
Their family dynamic had always been complicating and at times a sore subject. It wasn't until recent years where Yelena and Natasha came around to forming a genuine relationship with Melina and Alexei as their parents. When Wanda and Kate came into their daughter's lives they had hoped that there would one day be grandchildren or a little to join their family.
"Hello, my little guardian." Alexei chuckled and tried to hold back his tears as he smiled down at you and bounced you gently in his arms. His heart felt like it was bursting with happiness and pride when you gave him a gummy smile and made babbling sounds. "I'm your dedushka."
You squirmed in his arms as you were starting to get restless with being held. Your smiles soon turned into fussy cries as you stuck your hand into your mouth.
"Okay, here go back to your mama?" Alexei stretched out his arms towards his daughter Natasha as he looked helpless holding a crying baby.
Natasha scooped you back into her arms as she placed your pacifier in your mouth and gently rubbed your back, "It's okay, y/n. Are you hungry, my love?" She asked as she motioned for Wanda to hand her one of your bottles that she had pumped earlier.
"Are you breastfeeding? But how? I thought it was impossible." Melina asked as she began to pace. She would often pace when her mind was trying to figure out the world around her.
"We both are." Wanda piped in as she handed the bottle to Natasha. "Is there a way we can set up y/n's high chair in the dining room?"
"I can set it up for you." Alexei said he wanted to help out as much as possible. He followed Wanda to the SUV where he helped carry in all of the luggage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------While Natasha fed you your bottle she answered all if not most of her mother's questions about how you had transformed into an actual infant and what they had known about the procedure Tony and Bruce had created for not only you but also for Peter.
"Come, I want to show you something. I felt a little bit crazy for adding a nursery to the cabin, but your dad and I had hoped that one day we would be able to have grandbabies visit us or grand littles." Melina took her daughter's hand into her own, "I'm so glad that we decided to expand our little cabin."
Natasha followed her mother upstairs and recognized a new room across from her own room. She gasped as even more tears fell down her cheeks as she opened the bedroom door. The room had been transformed into a nursery.
The theme of the nursery was stars/galaxy and it was so fitting and thoughtful. The walls were navy blue with paintings of stars, planets and the moon and sun. There was a star projector projecting tiny white and blue stars on the ceiling and walls. In the middle of the room was a soft blue carpet with the planets and the alphabet on it. There was a crib, changing table, and rocking chair. The room even had a mini fridge and a bottle warmer. Everything had been calculated and thought of.
"Your dad installed a baby cam in here that connects to your phone or the baby monitor in your room. Do you like it?" Melina said as she held her breath. She had felt silly for even creating the room to begin with, but she wanted her daughters to know that if they did expand their family that they had her and Alexei's support.
"Mama, I love it. Thank you." Natasha sobbed as she hugged her mother, careful not to smother you in the hug.
"Mama, why didn't we ever get a cool room like this?" Yelena playfully jabbed as she walked into the nursery and admired how adorable everything was. She couldn't help but smile when her mother slapped her playfully on the arm.
Everyone sat on the floor of the nursery and played with you with all your brand new toys. Wanda placed you on your tummy for tummy time and you fussed at having to pick up your face from the floor. After a while of fussing you managed to roll over onto your back. The movement scared you a little but when you opened your eyes you saw everyone you loved smiling down at you.
"Did you see that?! Y/n, is rolling over on her own now." Wanda exclaimed excitedly as she kissed your face and got you to giggle adorably.
Melina and Alexei were both smiling at hearing your adorable sounds of happiness and they now lived for your happiness and well being. You were already wrapped around their fingers and there was no denying that they were going to spoil you.
