Vanessa grit her teeth as sweat poured from her. She held Pepper and Tony's hands in vice like grips as she let out a groaning scream, thanking high heaven that she couldn't feel the pain thanks to the drugs.
"Come on Vanessa, you're doing good." Bruce said as Pepper stroked Vanessa's head. "I need you to push hard, you're almost there."
"I am pushing hard." Vanessa snapped.
"It's crowning." Bruce said.
"Is that..oh…that's a…wow…a head." Tony breathed out looking a little pale.
"Don't you dare faint on me, dad." Vanessa ground out. More time passed, the nurses ran back and forth under Bruce's direction and soon the sounds of a crying baby filled the room.
"It's a girl." Bruce said as the nurses Tony hired took and quickly cleaned the baby the wrapped her in a thick fuzzy green blanket and handed her to Vanessa. The baby instantly stopped crying the moment she settle into her mother arms and was looking up at her with curious green eyes flecked with silver.
"She's perfect." Vanessa said as she softly ran her fingers through the thin tuft of black hair on top of the baby's head.
"What's her name?" Pepper asked as the nurses were sent away no longer needed.
"Rhea, it means daughter of Heaven and Earth." Vanessa said softly. "Loki and I picked it out when we decided to start a family. He said it would be the perfect name for our first daughter."
"What's happening?" Tony asked as Rhea started to turn blue with darker blue markings just like her fathers all over her body and deep red eyes.
"This is her Jotunn form, I wasn't sure if she'd have one. Loki is Jotunn, so Rhea is half Jotunn." Vanessa explained then started to cry as she held Rhea close. "It's not fair, he should be here for this, Loki should be here, it's not fair."
Tony and Pepper gently hugged her as they looked down at the baby who reached up touching her mother's face curiously.
