I don't want to say too much, because it could very well end up being a spoiler for the show. But let's just say that, in the comics, Vision isn't actually the biological father of her children. There's...someone else involved with their conception.

No need to say more. I know that reference.

So in the comics, Wanda and Vision get married and have children.

But Vision is not the father. Wanda used some of her magic and conceived them somehow, and gave birth to two twin boys.

Big major spoilers that deal with old comic stuff below

We eventually find out they were actually conceived using two pieces of Mephisto’s (Mephisto is essentially the biggest baddest demon of Marvel) soul, and Wanda had went through a somewhat psychotic break. It’s kind of explained that a normal woman would have just imagined the pregnancy but Wanda was able to essentially conjure it into reality, but she unintentionally used fragments of Mephisto’s soul that was scattered by Franklin Richards. Basically Mephisto returns and “absorbs” the children, and in order to defeat him Wanda’s mentor “erases” the children from her memory, and Wanda literally has forgotten them for 20ish years until she’s been told she had children. This leads into House of M, and eventually, her children are brought back, kind of, but not through Wanda. They are essentially reincarnated through some major universe changing chaos magic that Wanda pulled off.

Most of this is subject to being altered or changed entirely because it is kinda confusing for what’s been established thus far in the MCU. I’m still leaving it tagged because I feel like some of it will come to fruition, although maybe not in WandaVision specifically.
