Our Superfamily, the Avengers

Chapter 10

Dr. Ryan kept his word. Fast forward six months (surprisingly Loki never noticed that he was two months along), he was still checking in on Loki. He was making sure that he was eating properly and if he has been getting any pains or discomfort. These checkups were getting easier, but Loki's secret wasn't. He had to tell his husband eventually. And that time was now, because it was their anniversary.

"Loki, may I come in?" Dr. Ryan said asked, sticking his head into the threshold of the dining room. Thor was the first to look up. He shot the man a dangerous look, one that would have every single person in the building evacuating it. Loki just lowered his head, rubbing at his stomach. He wore bigger clothes, so that they would think that nothing was wrong. Loki always wore baggy clothing.

"What in all of Midgard told you to come in here? Can't you read mortal?" Thor's voice boomed, loudly. Loki took that as the sign to subdue his husband. He grabbed onto his arm to stop him from getting any closer to the doctor.

"No, Thor, darling. I told him to come."

"What? Loki, what possessed you to allow him here on the most important day of the year? Our most important day." Thor asked, the look of sorrow and disappointment replacing the developing anger. Loki looked to the doctor, who just nodded and sat down the folder that he had with him on the desk near the door.

"I need him to tell you something. Something that I have been hiding for too long. Doctor, may you explain?" Loki explained, a single tear falling down his porcelain cheek. He walked away from his husband and sat in a seat farther away from him.

"Sure thing. You see, Thor, I was called in by a dear friend six months ago to take a look at your husband. For those six months, I have been sneaking past other Avengers and JARVIS to keep doing exactly that. During that time, I kept a promise to him that just might save your child's life when he is born?" Erik explained, looking at Loki to make sure if he wanted to go any farther with this.

"Child? What child do you speak of?" Thor asked, startles by the news.

"The child that I am carrying. That one little piece of you and me that is actually related. Your child, Thor." Loki sobbed, standing up and walking to lean on his husband. He started to cry harshly. He knew that as soon as Thor got his wits about him, he would push Loki away and order him to kill the child. Kill the only thing that really matters right now.

"Really? You are actually carrying my child. A child of two Gods?" Thor asked, kneeling so he could look into his husband's blood hot eyes. Loki nodded and choked out a sob. Thor continued to stare and him before he kissed his forehead. Loki looked up at him in shock.

"I will always accept our child, or any child for that matter. We are already amazing with little Peter. Why not be amazing with our own?" Thor said, wrapping his husband in his arms and kissing him passionately. There was no tongue, just chaste, dry lip.

"I think I'm no longer needed here. I will see you in a month for the final ultrasound."

"Wait, doctor!" Loki stopped the man in his tracks and kissed his cheek. "You have been loyal and helpful for so long. I owe you so much for this. How would you feel having Erik as his middle name?" he asked, smiling from ear to ear.

"It would be a pleasure of mine. I left the ultrasound in the folder if you and Thor would like to see them. Have an amazing anniversary." Dr. Ryan said before departing.

Thor picked up the folder and opened it. There was a picture of a developed baby on top with "Loki and Thor's baby boy" written on it. Thor looked at Loki with amazement.

"Yes, it's a boy. And he will be a beautiful, perfect baby boy." Loki said, before kissing Thor passionately again.

`"Mr. Banner, isn't this a joyous occasion!" He heard Thor boom with Loki on his arm. He was holding his stomach ad smiling. He pulled Bruce into a gentle hug and then smiled. He whispered in his ear, "I'm pregnant. Would you like to be the godfather?" He pulled back to see the shocked man's eyes. They read a known answer.

"Of course, I would! That would be amazing! Thank you!" He screeched hugging Thor and congratulating them. He smiled 2000 watts.

It was Bruce's birthday party and they didn't have a tangible gift to give him.

Tony turned to them and asked, "What are you congratulating them for?" He looked excited to hear what they were going to say. Typical Anthony Stark. Loki stood in the center of the room and called for everyone's undivided attention.

"My husband, Thor and I would like to announce the arrival of a baby boy to the Stark Towers. I'm pregnant everyone!" Loki exclaimed, squeezing Thor's hand. No one moved. Everyone looked like a ghost had just walked through the room. Faces were pale and Fury's eye patch went wide! Everyone but Pepper, Natasha, and Bruce stood there like statues.

"That's amazing! Congratulations!" Steve shouted, finally breaking the silence. Everyone snapped out of their daze and ran towards the parents to get their hugs and kisses in. Everyone was touching Loki's stomach and marveling at how it was perfectly round and the fact that they didn't notice. It was a good day in the Stark towers.

"Okay, Loki. I need you to push when I tell you to! Okay, ready, PUSH!" Erik called from in front of Loki. Odin had caught wind of the impending birth and was in New York to see Loki. The Avengers were outside handling the situation, while Thor was holding his husband up. Pepper was by his side, helping with the birth.

"You're doing great love. He's going to be beautiful, I just know it. He has us as parents and he has the Avengers and mother as family." Thor whispered to his husband, rubbing his stomach to help with some of the pain. Loki was digging his nails into Thor's thighs and it stung horribly, but Thor could care less. He was a God for crying out loud!

"Are you sure mother will accept him?" Loki cried when Erik told him to push again. Thor nodded and kissed husband lightly on the temple, gripping him like it was the last thing he could do right now. He knew Frigga will always love Loki. In fact, she and Thor were the only people mourning his loss when he had fallen of the Bifrost to his "death."

"Loki, I only need you to push one more time so I can clean out his nose and mouth. PUSH!" the doctor screeched. Loki bore down and pushed with all his strength. Dr. Ryan hurried to clean his face and told Loki to push again. Loki pushed another time and the child finally came.

"It's a boy." Pepper said, passing the child after she had cleaned him up. He had dark black hair like his mother and green eyes that could rival an emerald any day. They were filled with laughter and innocence, something that Loki once knew himself. And now he had it again. Loki smiled, but then was interrupt when he felt a contraction.

"Oh no, here comes another!" Erik said having Loki had the first born off to Pepper. He got back into his position and told him to push again. This baby was coming faster than his twin. It all started again. The worry, the pain, all of the stress flashed through Loki's head. It was like a weight had been lifted off of him that he didn't know had existed.

"Loki, I would like you to meet the other little boy." Erik said handing the child to him. This child looked like Thor, hair blonde and features soft and proud. His eyes were as blue as the ocean.

"They are beautiful." And angelic voice said from the doorway of the room. Loki and Thor beamed when they saw their mother standing there. She hustled over to the bed to kiss every face present. "I know it might not change a thing, but I give Asgard's and my own blessings.

"That's where you are wrong mother. It does. It changes everything for the better." Thor said, pressing a kiss to her blonde curls before kissing his husband lightly on his lips. Loki looked tired so Thor got up and laid his husband gently back down. He kissed his sweat stained forehead before leaving the room. He needed to announce the news.

"I would like to introduce the eldest twin, Aiden Erik." Frigga said, handing the child to Bruce, his godfather. She kissed both of their brows before turning back to the basin that was holding the younger infant. She smiled and let him grasp one of her elegant, gentle fingers. She lifted him from the basin and held him in her arms.

"And his younger brother, Thomas Alexander." She finally announced to the godfather, Steve. Everyone cooed over the children before them.

Dear Aiden and Thomas,

Welcome to the world dearies. You have come a long way from being just a small fetus in your mother's belly and are now beautiful baby boys. I want to tell you some things about your family.

You see, the Avengers will never be a normal family (if that even exists.) When your aunts, uncles, parents, and grandparents are a part of the group of Earth's mightiest heroes, normal isn't in your DNA.

Would you care for normal? Sometimes, but that doesn't mean you don't like the way everything is now. Your cousin might be a spider and his parents might be a supersoldier and a billionaire-playboy. Your other uncles might be an archer, a secret agent, and a mean green wrecking machine.

Heck, your aunties are sassy redheads that can hold their own among men. Your grandmother is a loving Queen and will spoil you with everything. And your grandfather has an eye patch.

Your family will never be normal, darlings. But that's not always a bad thing. And this is not the end of your story.

With happiness and love,

The author, Tori
