Loki smiled as he patted his belly. This would be the third time he was pregnant. The first time he gave birth it was extremely painful, and on the contrary to what Banner said, Loki had three children. Jormungand, Fenrir, and Sleipnir. Jormungand was more like Loki, even having his dark hair and eyes. Having his craving for mischief and causing trouble, but he was like Thor in the aspect of loving Midgard and wanting to protect it. He became known as the serpent of Midgard, though that didn't stop him from protecting Midgard as best he could. Fenrir, on the other hand, turned out more like Thor. Having his boisterous ways and attack-ask-questions-later way of thinking. He had Loki's hair, Thor's eyes, and a kingly air around him. Thor and Loki both knew that he was most likely to become king. He was the first born after all. Last, in his first batch, was Sleipnir. He was the best of both worlds. Having the brain and calculations of Loki, but also having the strength and skills of Thor. He was to become the royal adviser. He would do better then any other Asgardian out there. Plus, when asked, he said he didn't want to become king, but wanted to help and play a big role in the kingdom. He had Thor's skin tone and hair, but Loki's magic skills and eyes.
In Loki's second pregnancy he only had one child. And the birth was much, much easier. Loki's forth child was a little girl. She was the pure image of Thor. Having his eyes and hair with Loki's Asgardian skin tone. Even in the winter she would sometimes turn blue. A pale crisp frost blue that made her shine even more brightly when it snowed. Her name was decided to be Hel. She, along with Sif and Fandral's daughter, were going to be trained as Valkyries. Hel, around the age of 7, used to run around the house wearing a little red cape made by Frigga. She also ran around with a replica of Thor's hammer, made by Oden. She called herself 'The Thunderer!' and would chase Jormungand around until he was pinned under the make shift hammer. Then she'd run away giggling. In turn for this, Jormungand would chase her around looking like Loki, even having the staff he used, until he caught her and gave her a good tickle. That would teach her.
Loki and Thor had no clue what to think about her. She was crazy and wild, acting like Thor and Loki when they were younger. The big question was, who would she turn out to be more like? She sure looked like Thor, but she could be more like Loki when she grew up. Her future was of no concern. She would take those who had fallen to where they needed to go. Easy as that. Plus, she always did want a pony. She would just get a flying one. Good enough.
"Loki, you know I don't like when your lost in thought,"Thor whispered in his ear. Loki shivered and turned around to him. Thor kissed him on the lips and placed his hand over Loki's on his belly. Suddenly, Loki and Thor felt a sharp kick to where there hands were placed. Thor broke this kiss smiling. He gently dropped to one knee, leveled with Loki's belly."You, dear child, are very energetic. Maybe your mother should stop moving around so much. He should also stop eating so much chocolate. It makes you too hyper doesn't it?"Loki rolled his eyes and gently bumped Thor on the head.
"Don't bring up my cravings to the babies,"Loki commanded,"Speaking of babies, where are our children?"He had a pretty good idea, but wanted it to be confirmed.
"Jormungand is with Heimdal at the Bifrost. He likes to gaze at Earth from the Bridge. He likes how it looks like a bright blue marble in the sky and he's tired of playing with Hel for the day. Fenrir, on the other hand, is playing with Hel. She gave him the Bambi eyes and he couldn't say no. And do you really have to ask where Sleipnir is? He is where he always is. At the library studying, and practicing, his magic skills,"Loki smiled, happy at least one of his children could take after him."Oh no you don't. Don't you be happy about his magic skills growing. Last week he made it snow in the library. The week before that he turned Hel into a bunny, though she was okay with that. And the week before that, he managed to turn my hammer into a... what was it again Dear? Oh yes, it was a small dragon that terrorized Asgard for three days before finally turning back. I am proud of him. Very much so, but he needs to learn to control his powers. After your pregnancy you should teach him how to use his magic, and how to control it better."
"Yes Thor, you tell me this all the time. And I agree with it all the time. I will teach him how to use his powers better. I will be his mentor, you don't have to worry,"Loki pulled Thor to his feet before going to there bed chamber. He was always tired do to his pregnancy.
Through out the remainder of Loki's pregnancy he was moody and craved odd things that made Thor go all around the nine realms to find. They ended up having three more children. Twins named Narfi, nicknamed Nari, and Vali, they looked identical in every aspect. They both had black hair, from Loki, with one green eye and one blue eye. They also took after Loki in his ways of causing trouble around Asgard. And another girl, Thrud. Another spitting image of Thor, but with her brother's eyes of one green and one blue. In Loki's last pregnancy (For now) Loki had three more boys. Magni, Modi, and Loridi all looking more like Thor, but still with a twinge of Loki inside them all. Then there was one last child that wasn't there own.
Ullr was adopted by Thor and Loki. He was a Frost Giant. A runt left for dead. Thankfully Loki had found him on one of his numinous visits to there realm. Having an instant bond with the child Loki had taken him in. Though, at first, he was afraid that Thor wouldn't expect him into there large family of 10+ children. So for about two days Loki was able to hide Ullr. That was until Thor walked in on Loki feeding the child. Loki started panicking and trying to make excuses, but Thor could see right through him. He always could.
Thor confronted Loki about it and he broke down. Saying that he had found the child and couldn't leave him. Thor had gone up to him then, taking the child from Loki's arms. Loki had froze in fear, not knowing what was going to happen to the child, but Thor, as always, surprised him with his shear amount of kindness. Thor smiled down at the child and kissed his nose. Watching as the child smiled and grabbed a lock of Thor's hair, yanking on it hard. Thor winced a little smiled down at the baby again. Loki was able to smile for so long after that, being happy that Thor was able to accept so many aspects of him. His heritage, his children, this new child, just everything. He really did love Thor, and Thor really did love him.
(Thor's kids: Thrud, Magni, Modi, Loridi, and stepson Ullr. Loki's kids: Narfi, Vali, Jormungand, Fenrir, Hel, and Sleipnir)
Back on Earth though, Steve and Tony were having there own child problems. There son, Peter, had been bitten by a spider a few years back. He was nine now and could climb on walls. When this first happened Steve nearly fainted. Having almost passed out from confusion, fear, and a heart-racing head spinning feeling he couldn't place. He had called to Tony then, trying to get Tony to help him get down. They did, of course, get him down and give him a long, long lecture afterwards.
Peter, still not old enough to understand, kept climbing on walls until he was about seven. Finally understanding that his parents didn't like him walking on walls because they were afraid of him being hurt. Tony, on Peter's 8th birthday, had given him a spider costume. He always runs around the house yelling 'I'M SPIDERMAN!' until someone plays with him.
The first few days after baby Peter came home, Tony and Steve were so exited. Becoming new parents and all. But there came one night where baby Peter started crying and Tony got up to take care of it. He went across the room, yes Peter's crib was in Tony and Steve's room. They never wanted to be far away from there baby. Not now, at least. This was all too new for them, give it a couple of months.
As Tony held his baby in his arms he had a sudden realization. His father probably never held him like this. It was probably his mother or one of the maids or nanny's. Howard had never had time for him when he was growing up, so what was the point in holding him when he was a baby? Without his knowledge, Tony started crying. All his feelings that were never shown just flowing out of him. Tony had tried to keep his sods in and be quite, but Steve still heard. And the next morning Steve held Tony close. So very close as Tony, again, let all his feelings out. Telling Steve everything until his tears dried up.
Tony, Steve, Thor and Loki still had the job of keeping Earth safe and being an Avenger. So they usually had Pepper and Coulson, whom had not died in the Air Ship, baby sit for them. They were good. Most the time or when they wanted to be at least. They all, in one way on another, helped save the Earth in there own ways. Fenrir became king of Asgard after his father, Thor, and Sleipnir becoming the royal adviser. Jormungand, Modi, Magni, and Loridi all being on Earth and helping The Avengers. Narfi, Vali, and Ullr also stayed in Asgard. Becoming a group of the best fighters ever known in Asgard. Hel and Thrud became Valkyries for Midgard and Asgard. Peter went on to take after his fathers and become a hero like them. Though at first Tony and Steve disliked the thought of Peter being in danger, though Peter proved time and time again that he could take care of himself.
All in all, they all lived long prosperous lives. Protecting the Earth, making friends with new people, and protecting one another. They all lived, laughed, loved, fought, cried, ate, and watched movies together. All becoming one big, somewhat dysfunctional, family.
The End Y'Allz
