I paced around the room my hand pressed against my stomach and a faint smile pulled at my lips hearing Loki playing with Oliver but I couldn't think of stopping my building panic or worry. Things were okay but there's been little fights so far throughout the community for some reason and I thought this was a diplomatic place! I walked back and forth when strong arms caught my waist and Loki dropped his chin on my shoulder gently squeezing and holding me to him, his hands resting on my swollen stomach gently and I relaxed against him a little bit closing my eyes. Last night wasn't nearly enough sleep but at least I got some sleep and that's what counts at the moment. I have a doctors appointment today, I remember with a little shock blinking once realizing I actually forgot something that important. Looki kissed my cheek softly seeming to almost read my mind his hand covering mine pressing his palm against mine, our fingers softly intertwined gently, as we stood there like that cradling my growing stomach and I relaxed further against him just as the door burst open with Matt, Willa Tove and Finn but they seemed to stop when they saw us standing like that and I felt my face burn when they all raised asmall brow but Loki merely grinned and kissed my burning cheek.
"Loki cut it out." I mumble under my breath making Tove grin gently as I blushed furiously when my sons sweet voice cut through the awkward silence.
"Daddy can you come sing to me tonight?" Oliver stood in the door way his gold eyes sweetly shining as he stared at Loki but walked over and wrapped his small arms around my legs gently looking up at him.
"Of course buddy I wouldn't mind that tonight." Loki says smiling brightly at Oliver then leaned down picking him up spinning him around making him shriek with laughter. When he put him down he looked at me dizzily giggling loudly making everyone smile.
"But mama I want you to sing me London Bridge." He says looking up at me smiling his sweet easy smile and everyone literally in synchronization . turned to look at me and I blushed a new. I sang and it was good I guess but they never heard me and neither had Loki so it was a little scary to me to sing in front of them or even the idea of doing so.
"Tonight I will right before Daddy comes in." I saysmiling gently when he shakes his head hard looking at me again.
"No mama I want you to sing it right now." And my heart dropped but what came out was a sigh then nodded smiling softly and I ran my hand over his dark crazy curls.
"Fine lets go to your room so I can rock while I sing it." I say taking his hand just as Finn opened his mouth but shut it as Loki glared at him gently following me making sure I didn't fall or anything and when we got there I sat in the old rocking chair we used when he was a baby and he climbed on my lap and I moved my arms sweetly around him and he smiled his hand resting on my stomach gently. Then I took a deep breath drawing in as much as possible smiling gently then began.
"London Bridge is falling down,falling down, falling down London bridge is falling down My Fair Lady. London Bridge is broken down,broken down, broken Bridge is broken down,My fair it up with wood and clay,wood and clay, wood and clay build it up with wood and clay,My fair lady.
Wood and clay will wash away,wash away, wash away,wood and clay will wash away,My fair lady."I kissed his head pausing briefly making him giggle loudly and cuddle into me and I barely noticedthe audience we had then went back to singing.
"Build it up with bricks and mortar,bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,uild it up with bricks and mortar,My fair and mortar will not stay Will not stay, will not stay,bricks and mortar will not stay,My fair it up with iron and steel,iron and steel, iron and steel,build it up with iron and steel,My fair and steel will bend and bow,bend and bow, bend and bow,iron and steel will bend and bow,My fair it up with silver and gold,silver and gold, silver and gold,build it up with silver and gold,My fair and gold will be stolen away,stolen away, stolen away,silver and gold will be stolen away,My fair lady."I finish tickling him making him laugh loudly and I laughed with him hugging him tight as he hugged me back and I buried my face into his thick curls when I heard someone whistle followed by a few claps and I looked up to see him standing in the door way and my face burned and Loki grinned widely walking over to me and kissed my head gently.
"You have a beautiful voice Wendy." He whispers making me blush more as the others grinned and Oliver rested easily in my arms as I smiled up at Loki and he leaned down giving me a light sweet kiss that made Oliver giggle loudly then stood up together smiling and we walked downstairs together Oliver running in front when he belted out a few lines from the song running thorugh the room where everywhere else and I caught the " silver and gold will be stolen away stolen away silver and gold will be stolen away MY FAIR LADY!" and he yelled the last part making me laugh and he ran out the door again then went up to his play room singing the song when we walked in and Willa grinned widely in a way that made me blush.
"London bridge?" She asks looking at me grinning even more.
"Yes London bridge its his favorite song now a days that he likes hearing me sing." I say sitting down my stomach tightening against the fabric making me wince softly knowing the dress had grown a bit too tight over the past couple days as I grew a few inches maybe and Loki noticed this frowning before pulling his undoing his buttons on his shirt no one noticed at first really until my face burned and I swear my gaze turned hooded almost in alustful way when he walked over ot me placing his shirt over me then undid the zipper on the back of my dress standing in front of me pulling it down gently and did the buttons slowly then stood up right the sun hitting him gently making him look like he had a gold halo as I blushed.
"That dress is to tight, we'll go get new dresses for you tell me next time Wendy, I'll be back I gotta go get a new shirt." He says jokingly then turned walking away and I heard a few gasps come from the room as they took in Loki's scars that stretched across his back when he left the room.
"My god. . "Matt whispers his face pale, all their faces were pale at seeing the scars then they turned to me as I played with the sleeves gently.
"Wendy why couldn't you have told us about his back or anything?" Willa says almost too loudly as she looked at me seriously.
"Because I didn't think anyone would see him without a shirt other than me. Its nothign just somethings happened with him in the past. . . We don't like talking about it all to much, me the least since it brings up painful memories, him because he just doesn't bring it up unless I allow him too." I say maybe a bit to sharply for Willa's eyes widened greatly staring at me then I turned my gaze down as Loki walked in drapping an arm over my shoulders, his shirt he gave me was white but he now wore a pitch black shirt that matched his pants perfectly and he looked like a devious angel more or less if Satan showed up at my door looking like THIS I wouldn't have a problem with going with him willingly. Loki kissed my cheek and I smiled softly.
"Wendy we have a problem with the kingdom." Finn says very seriously.
"What problems?"
"The fights that are breaking out, their getting more brutal and more bloody lately and more of them are happening."
"Has anything been done to stop them?"
"We've been trying but we can't stop every single fight that happens."
"But they HAVE to be stopped! If their talking about a revolution then we need to get everything under control!" I snap only to have Loki run my upper arm gently.
"We're trying very hard to maintain the peace Wendy believe us on that. Now what we need to talk about is the baby."
I stiffened greatly and so did Loki.
"What about the baby?"
"Well I think it needs to be considered what is best for the baby is all."
"Thank you Finn but even though you have three kids now this is OUR baby and WE decide whats best for our baby not YOU or anyone else in this kingdom." Loki says his voice barely concealing his irritation and anger at what Loki said making me narrow my eyes just a bit at Finn. It was true, it was our baby and no one could truly decide whats best. We could decide that on our own. Then I remembered the doctors appointment.
"shit." I hissed under my breath standing up quickly holding the sleeves in my hands tightly walking towards the door. Loki stood up quickly following me. No one said anythign to shocked by Loki's out burst as we walked upstairs to our room. "Doctors appointment." I say loudly in answer to his silent confusement. He smiled then and nods walking up closer with me as we walked quickly and efficiently. I got a new dress on wich was dark crimson, it fit and wasn't tight on my stomach at all. He smiled and we grabbed our coats since it was turning nearing fall and getting a bit colder. We walked out just as Finn was opening his mouth but we left anyways and walked to the family car and got in my stomach growling loudly making me blush gently. Damn I'd need to get something to do before we got there, Loki seemed to realize this too for her grinned softly reaching behind the seat and handed me an apple smiling widely and I devoured it quickly savoring at the same time. By the time we got to the doctors I had an intense craving for apples. When we walked in and got to the office they just ushered us right in the room saying it was such an honor to help the Queen through her pregnancy and then we sat waiting in the office in silence. He clutched onto my hand tightly making a small smile curve over my lips gently and he smiled softly back and kissed my chek gently. The doctor walked in and after a little conversation she actually brought in an ultrasound machine and she gave me this ttle gown to put on which I did quick as I could and I laid back on the examination table, she spread this cool jelly across my stomach then pre4ssed the small paddle against my stomach after it and a loud strong beat sounded out beautifully and it made tears well in my eyes gently. I loved this part right here and now.
"I can possibly tell you the gender if you want but its always easier to tell between eighteen or twenty weeks." She says smiling softly looking at me and Loki then we exchanged a look then smiled nodding quickly and I squeezed his hand hoping it will be a boy he squeezed hoping its a girl making both of us grin eagerly. Shesening gently once. "Oh!" She says in surprise turning her eyes to us then smiled widely. "It. . . It looks like your having. . .
