A/N: I like happy Tony and Loki, and I promise to write more of them coming up. You'll see what I mean. And I've got about half of the plot worked out for the sequel, that will include Tiny Stark Family, and I think it's gonna be a dozy of a plot. But that's not here or now, this chapter is here and now. Enjoy you amazing people you!

I don't own The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.


A month after Loki had spilled the news he was pushing Tony back into his lab, hoping he would stay there. "Is this how human pregnancies are usually handled?" He asked the inventor. "Do the fathers usually follow around the women, acting like mother hens?"

"Not usually, no," Tony said then grabbed Loki's wrist before he could escape. "Then again, the women are usually going to doctors for check ups." He pulled the god further into his lab and led him to a chair. Loki sighed sitting down, getting off of his feet from trying to get rid of Tony. "Let me just do a check up."

"I told you that I would know if something was wrong," Loki sighed and started to push himself up from the chair.

"Don't you wanna see it?" Loki blinked and looked at Tony as he was gathering a few wires and plugging them into his monitors. Tony glanced back. "You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?"

"Well, I'm assuming that we will see the child when it is born." Loki thought he would keep the fact that he knew the gender a secret.

"I can show you what it looks like now," Tony grinned. Loki looked at him, evaluating him, searching his eyes. He sighed and leaned back in the chair, throwing an arm up in defeat. "Awesome." He cackled a little and pulled over the monitor and held up a small device that the cord were attached to. "This also gives me a chance to test this puppy out."

"Test?" Loki looked at him. "You don't know what does and you're going to use it on me?"

"Yup, now sit still, princess." Loki made a sound in protest but Tony put a hand on his arm then started to wave the device over Loki's stomach back and forth, a light shining down. After about a minute he pulled back and then pulled the monitor over to him, typing in a few things.

A model started to form on the screen and when Tony turned to face Loki a 3-D hologram was appearing between the two. "You have just had your first ultrasound," Tony announced as the picture built itself up. Loki blinked and sat up, getting a little closer tot he image, mimicking Tony's movements.

"That is-" Loki started and Tony nodded. "It's so small." Loki glanced over when Tony wasn't saying anything and thought he saw the mans eyes start to mist up.

"I am so showing this off to everyone now," Tony grinned at Loki and the man laughed a little.


Tony watched in one of the rare moments that Loki wasn't working his illusion to hide their expected bundle that morning. Loki was presently raiding the fridge looking something to make that wasn't pancakes, as that was still the only thing that Tony knew how to make well. Almost three months after Loki had told him that there was going to be a tiny Stark, (because they knew he would corrupt the child first,) they had decided to keep the fact from the others until they knew exactly how to describe it. Loki was a master of illusion and thus was no problem to hide his ever growing stomach.

He often blamed Tony for the long process that it was taking, letting him know that pregnancies didn't take nearly as long as mortals ones on Asgard. Of course since it was a spawn of Tony that meant that it would be dragged out for a wretched full nine months. Tony couldn't complain, because also much like a mortal pregnancy, Loki had a much increased sex drive that Tony had no problem indulging.

"Brothers!" Tony glanced over as Thor walked into the room in what seemed to be somewhat of a hurry. He had taken to calling Tony Brother as well after learning that Loki had told him he was going to be a father. Thor saw it as a final passage sort of thing. "I am afraid that I bring bad news." Loki peered at Thor from over the top of the fridge door. "I have caught sight of Director Fury on his way over."

Loki sighed a little. "I was hoping today might be a day where I would not have to conjure an illusion."

"He is coming to see the both of you," Thor went on and they both looked at him.

"This is never good," Tony muttered under his breath. "Now I'm wishing I would have actually gotten dressed. Of course maybe it'll be a little disarming trying to yell at a man who's still in sweat pants."

"Do you know why he's coming?" Loki asked his brother, ignoring Tony. He shut the fridge, settling on drinking some juice, appetite diminished.

"I know not," Thor shook his head. "But he is close."

"How close?" Tony stood up, stretching his arms.

"Sir, Director Fury and Agent Coulson are on their way up. They bypassed my entrance protocols," JARVIS announced.

"That close," Tony rubbed his face with his hands. Loki grimaced a little and worked a quick illusion, taking a seat next to Tony. The farther he was away from Fury, the better he would feel.

It was only a minute, but it felt like seconds before Fury and Coulson walked into the kitchen. The formers eyes feel immediately on the unlikely couple while Phil waved a hand in greeting.

"Phil, ever a pleasure to see you here," Loki spoke up. "Although that does not look like your usual companion." He had been spending far too much time with Tony.

"I need to know just what the hell is going on between you two," Fury cut in. He wasn't yelling yet, but he sounded mildly angry.

"Well, see if we offer you any breakfast now," Tony snarked. Thor had stepped off to the side, but stayed to come to the aid of his now extended family if need be.

"I thought that we covered this roughly five months ago," Loki took a sip of his juice. He rubbed his lower arm a little.

"From what I understand something entirely new has happened, and I want to be filled in, immediately." Coulson was pulling out his tablet and pulling up a file as Fury spoke.

"Don't know what you're talking about," Tony shrugged a little. Coulson then handed Tony the tablet that showed them pictures of a rather pregnant looking Loki with Tony.

"Refresh your memory?" Fury bit out.

"I'd actually like to know how you got a hold of these." Tony frowned as he started to look at the details of the pictures. They had been sent from a secure server, but it was none of his own. Someone had gotten them from his private, and very locked, files.

"That's not the pressing matter here, Stark." Fury narrowed his eyes.

"You're right, the issue here is why you think this is any of your business." Tony put the tablet down on the counter.

"If this compromises my team, that makes solely in the area of my business," Fury told him. Loki had stood up to refill his glass and Coulson stepped behind the Director to talk with him.

"So this is what Gabby meant when she said she was getting a new cousin." Loki smirked a little and looked at Phil.

"How long did she last before telling everyone?"

"To her credit she waited two weeks," Phil informed him. "She was still trying to prove that she didn't need to talk.

"Yes, she is what you mortals call, a little spitfire." Loki nodded. He set the glass down and rubbed his arm again, feeling a dull ache, trying to ignore the ever escalating arguing between Tony and Fury. Phil eyed Loki's actions and raised an eyebrow. "I feel an ache in my arm whenever I'm around stress," Loki explained. "Tony has assured me that it will pass after the pregnancy, having found nothing wrong after I reluctantly agreed to let him run some scans."

"I'm sure that this situation is not ideal." Phil glanced over between the two men. Turning back he suddenly stuck out his hand to Loki and the god blinked a little. "Congratulations by the way. Pepper keeps showing off the pictures every time Tony gives her one." Loki chuckled lightly and shook his hand. "And good luck, no doubt you'll have a bundle on your hands with Tony's genes." Loki snorted.

"Are you trying to tell me that my private life is no longer private?" Tony was trying not to raise his voice, but was failing.

"Whatever private life you thought you had stopped being private the minute you decided to bed the enemy," Fury retaliated. "If we know about this it's only a matter of time before any of our other enemies find out and-"

"If you're trying to insinuate that I won't be able to protect my family, and that you're suddenly doing this out of the kindness of your heart, then we're about to have a problem, Fury." Tony was standing now, but kept the kitchen island between the two of them.

Loki's eye twitched a little as he hand worked itself in and out of a fist, the ache turning into a pain, and it started to travel up his arm. He was unaware of both Thor and Phil watching him now. His other arm had started to grip him arm as he winced in pain. As the argument got louder his pain became more intense.

"Brother?" He opened his eyes, surprised that Thor was suddenly by his side. Both he and Phil were looking concerned. Thor took his arm and pushed up the sleeve and the three of them could see glowing runes swirling around his arm.

"That doesn't look normal," Phil commented.

"He has been spelled," Thor's eyes narrowed. "I must take him to our Healers immediately."

Loki shook his head a little and pulled back a little from Thor. "I can't leave," he remained stubborn even as the pain became worse, working it's way though his shoulders and into his chest.

"I actually have to agree with Thor on this one," Phil told him. "This is beyond our comprehension."

"Brother Tony," Thor called out as he wrapped an arm around Loki's waist, not giving him a choice but to follow. Tony and Fury were still arguing and hadn't heard him. "Tony!" Thor yelled out and the two stopped and looked over at him. "I must take my brother back to our healers."

Tony eyes widened a little then he saw the runes. Rushing over to Loki as Thor started to walk he took his hand. "It's not gonna be long though right? I mean they'll clear this right up and be right as rain, right?" Phil was unused to seeing and hearing worry coming from the billionaire.

"I shall keep you informed," Thor told him solemnly.

Loki grit his teeth as a pulse of pain traveled through his body. He managed to force out a smile at Tony. "You won't even notice that I'm gone."
