after the events of thunderbolts, Yelena has tried to find ways to finally ease the stress and trauma she’s been through over the years, the red room, Natasha’s death, and just being lonely, tho she’s no longer alone as she’s with the new avengerz, so far she’s tried art, knitting, puzzles, yoga, and many such, but nothing, her last attempt was baking and..it was actually nice? The sweet smell of the baked treats help put her at ease..and a lil more than that, as she started eating her craft, as time went on her frame started expanding, the team has asked if maybe she gained some weight, but she doesn’t seem to mind

9 months later

Yelena is now big and fat, from her constant baking and eating, her belly now pokes and hangs out of her mission suit/combat vest, but she’s happier than ever! She enjoys the softness and she barley felt stressed

swallows cupcake ahh..now that hits the spot..don’t think I haven’t felt this good in a loooong time pats her Belly as she leans back on the couch
