„Ow! Fuck!" Loki cursed.
"Shh keep calm, Loki." Thor said softly and stroked Loki's hand, holding it tightly.
"The most important thing you must think about is to breathe, Loki." Frigga explained.
"I-I'm scared…" Loki sobbed.
"Don't be, everything will be fine." Thor tried to calm his beloved. He felt so useless. There was nothing he could do to help his brother and to free him from this pain. He will never be able to imagine, how much pain Loki felt at that moment.
"Thor! Hold your brother, get him into a comfortable position and hold his legs apart." Frigga commanded.
Thor did as he was told, happy that he wasn't as useless as he thought.
But now that he held Loki tight, his brother got panicky. He didn't like the fact that he couldn't move at all, though he had the urge to kick and grip everything that was near.
"Dear, everything is alright, just look at me. Look only at me." Frigga said and forced Loki to look at her.
"Ah!" Loki shouted as another wave of pain hit him. "It hurts! Help me!" he screamed sobbing.
He swallowed down any thought of pain and birth, and now everything he kept down hit him.
"Don't worry, I'll do the work, just breathe." Frigga said, concentrating on bringing the baby to the world.
"Thor!" Loki groaned, digging his nails into Thor's arm.
"I'm here, I'm here…" Thor hushed. Never had he seen Loki this suffering and desperate for help. To hear the screams of his beloved…it was pure torture to him.
"Make it stop! Get it out!" Loki screamed.
"I'm doing all I can, but you need to help me!" Frigga said as calm as she could. "Push!" she commanded.
Loki pushed growling, gasping for air moments later. Again and again.
"You're doing good, keep going." Frigga said, her eyes not leaving, what was in front of her.
"You can do it." Thor said, kissing Loki's head.
After hours of screaming, pushing and breathing it was finally over.
Loki let himself fall back against Thor's chest. He was out of breath, covered in sweat and tears ran down his cheeks, but it was worth it.
Frigga held their child in her arms, already wrapped in a warm blanket.
From the little Loki could make out, since his vision was blurry form the tears, he could see that it's hair color was dark brown.
"You did it." Thor smiled and wrapped his arms around the other's body.
"I want to see it…" he breathed.
"It's a her, dear." Frigga said smiling and gave the girl to Loki.
Loki took her carefully. "God she's so small…" Loki said unbelieving.
As he finally took at his daughter, the tears came back into his eyes.
"S-she…"
"Let me see." Thor said and took a look at her.
"What's with her skin?" Thor asked his mother.
"Don't worry, Thor. The child is healthy…It's just that a part of her seems to be Jotun. It seems the Jotun genes of Loki were as strong as your Aesir ones." Frigga explained.
"Jotun…" Loki mumbled and looked down at the newborn. That was right. Half of her body was blue and ice-cold. Her eyes were closed, so Loki couldn't make out her eye color. The only that Loki had left was, that her eyes weren't red, or else the baby would have almost nothing from his father.
He felt so guilty for burdening Thor with a baby, that didn't look much like him at all. A baby, who had the characteristics of a Jotun, the creatures Thor disgusted.
"Loki…" Thor stroked Loki's shoulder.
"I-I'm sorry, Thor. I-I hoped the child wouldn't gain any of the Jotun characteristics." Loki sobbed and held the child tight. "I can't do anything right."
"Loki, calm down. It isn't your fault and it doesn't change anything of my love for you both." Thor promised and kissed Loki's tears away.
"R-Really? Y-you don't hate it?" Loki looked at up at Thor.
"How could I? It's our baby, our beautiful baby." Thor said smiling and stroked over the baby's cheek.
"Oh Thor." Loki sobbed, holding the baby close.
"I love you." Thor whispered into Loki's ear and cuddled close.
"I love you too, always…" Loki whispered.
"So, did you decide on a name yet?" Frigga after Loki calmed down.
Loki shook his head.
"We thought it would be a better idea if we waited till we knew the gender and how the baby looked like. " Thor explained.
"I see…" Frigga eyed the baby, before making a decision. "Hel…"
"What? You mean like that realm? Why would you name your grandchild that?" Loki asked shocked.
"I know things you don't, Loki. One day, you'll understand. Trust me." Frigga said.
"But why this place? I don't understand what that has to do with my baby." Loki said distraught.
"You will, when the right time has come." Frigga explained.
"What does that mean?!" Loki shouted. "What will happen to my baby to make you say that?!"
"Loki, stop…" Thor said serious. That was when Loki realized his baby was crying.
"Shh, everything will be just fine…" Loki whispered to the child and stroked her head protectively.
"Mother…why are you telling us this?" Thor asked, stroking Loki's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, that was rude, indeed. I just think this name will suit her…" Frigga sighed and stood up.
"Where are you going, mother?" Thor asked.
"I'm going home, before your father suspects something." Frigga explained and looked at both.
"When will we see each other again?" Loki asked.
"Don't worry my dear, whenever you need me, I'll be there for you. But I'm pretty sure you won't need my help." Frigga tried to cheer Loki. "Good bye." She bowed and left the building without saying another word.
After all these days of disgust, hate and jealousy Tony's heart melted as he saw the small family cuddle together on the couch.
Steve was eager to see the baby, as he always was very good with kids. He got used to the weird relationship of the two gods and accepted it.
And nobody questioned the 'weird look' of the child. She still was a special and loved baby.
Tony stood there…all alone in the doorframe. As he saw the group happy together, something lid up inside him. Watching Steve play with the little girl…it made Tony smile.
'At least they have the chance to be a happy family…' Tony thought.
"Tony! Come, look at that little bundle!" Steve called.
Tony hesitated a bit, before finally joining the little family.
All the stress of the last months was forgotten as all of them sat together to admire the baby.
"She sure is something special…" Tony said smiling as he stroked the baby's head carefully.
"She's so small." Steve said.
"Indeed." Thor laughed. Even Loki was smiling.
It was a happy time, everyone was happy, even the newborn seemed to be.
But how long could this happiness last?
