When the two arrived in Asgard, Thor was met with a relieved looking Heimdall. The tall guard nodded to him in greeting before returning to his stern stance. The warrioress then lead Thor to where she had tied up her horse.

"Take her and go to your parents and husband. They need to know you're back and you need to apologise." She said with a pointed look at her blonde friend. He nodded to her and without saying anything, mounted the mare and goaded her into a gallop.

It took him a few minutes to reach the castle, and upon arriving he decided to see to the horse himself. Thor knew that he was stalling, not wanting to see the person he had hurt so badly. But eventually, he had nothing to do but stand there, petting the horse and so he headed into the castle.

The throne room was the same as it always was, and for some reason he was disappointed that it hadn't changed in his absence. His parents were sat in their thrones, looking every bit the rulers of an ancient realm.

Before he had the chance to call out to the aging couple, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Thor?"

Said man turned and saw Loki, his husband. A husband that looked a lot further along than three months in. It was this sight that made him how much he had let down the man that he cared for.

Speaking quietly Thor replied," I am so sorry Loki."

After apologising, he walked forward and gathered the fragile looking man into his arms careful not to hurt him or his unborn child. The raven didn't reciprocate instantly, but after a few seconds the blonde felt arms tentativley curl around him and he smiled into his husbands hair.

The hug only lasted a few blissful seconds though, as the slighter man quickly pulled away and slapped the larger. Shocked, Thor didn't know how to react. Before he had time to decide what the appropriate response was he was hit with a blast of light. This light resulted in a feeling very similar to that of being hit by Mjolnir.

"Loki, I said I'm sorry, and I really am. I just didn't know how to react to the ki-"

"Oh, and you thought running away to Midgard would resolve everything did you? Really smart Thor." Sarcasm was dripping from every word that left Loki's mouth. The statement made Thor look at his feet in shame. His husband was right, it wasn't the most intelligent move out there.

"I didn't think Ok! I just was scared because you were kissing me and I was enjoying it. I didn't know what to think - one part of me was saying that I cared for you, that the kiss was right and the other was saying that it was wrong, I'm straight. I needed time to think!"

"You moron! If you'd stayed and told me this I would've been fine! If you'd left for an hour to think I would've been angry, but we could have resolved this! But no, you leave me for three months to wonder if you were coming back and if you did would you hate me?"

Through out the speech Loki was throwing spells at him, stinging him over and over with his magic. But when he reached the end, he dropped his arms and burst into tears. They wracked his whole body and Thor instantly rushed to his partner's side to hold him.

Softly, Thor reassured Loki, "Of course I don't hate you. You and my child mean so much to me, it just took a while to realise it. I was so wrapped up in myself that I didn't think and for that I am eternally sorry. I know that your father wants to dissolve the marriage, and I deserve it, but please! I want you to stay with me and help me rule. I want you to keep me company and bring up our child with my help. I love you, and not just platonically. I love you as my Husband and my Consort."

As Thor was speaking, Loki's sobs died down until he was just stood in Thor's arms listening to him. When he finished, he fell silent and waited for Loki's reaction.

The dark-haired male stayed silent for a moment too before voicing his opinion, "I want to stay too, but only if you stay. I will try and persuade my Father to let me stay. I'm still angry though. You hurt me, so be prepared to earn my trust again," The blonde nodded eagerly and Loki smiled endearingly, " Now can you help me to my room."

This drew attention to his baby-bump, and after a nod from Loki, Thor laid his hand on it softly, "Has the baby been giving you much trouble?"

"No, but I can tell it will do later on in the pregnancy. The healers have told me that I will be on bed rest from about 26 weeks onwards. It will be so boring!"
