A/N: Since I've gotten a few requests about wanting more of Loki, Natasha, and kids, I decided to start up a series of drabbles. I'm not sure how often I'll update these. Whenever something comes to mind, I'll upload it here. I'm also thinking of making these drabbles into comics. Anyone folowwing my tumblr/DA (crazyotaku13) may have already seen a comic I made out of this drabble
Loki and Natasha had been invited to the Stark's house for dinner one evening. They brought Alexei along with him since Pepper loved seeing the family together.
"He's over four months old now, isn't he?" Pepper smiled in disbelief.
"Five months next week," Natasha replied as Alexei sat on her lap.
"Has he said his first word yet?" she wondered.
Loki flashed his wife a smirk. "Well…"
…..
It had all started last week during dinner. Loki and Natasha had both been on a mission and had Pepper babysit. They had sat down to eat when it happened. "Eat your dinner, Alexei," Loki smiled, holding a spoon close to the baby's mouth.
Alexei turned his head in defiance.
"Don't be stubborn now," he continued, "it's good, Alexei."
"Tony!" Alexei babbled.
Loki stared at his son with a blank expression. He wanted to laugh-this was his first word, after all. However, his wife seemed far from impressed.
Natasha gently set down her fork. "Tell me I didn't just hear that," She said as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I'm afraid you did," he chuckled. "How about trying to say 'Daddy,' Alexei?" he asked his son with a smile. "Or 'Mommy'-that will make her happy!"
"I'm gonna kill Stark!" she growled.
…
"Oh? What did he say?" Pepper beamed.
Loki said 'Mommy,' while Natasha said 'Daddy.'
Pepper stared at the couple in confusion.
"'Mommy.' He said 'Mommy,'" Loki assured her.
"Isn't that cute!" she giggled. "It's a relief- every time I've been babysitting him, I'd end up finding Tony trying to get him to say his name."
Natasha's hand formed a fist. "That's so like him…" The corner of her lip turned up in a forced smile.
