Chapter 34: Epilogue

Looking back on his 1000 years of life before meeting Cairo Loki realized that he had never known true happiness. He had just been living life day by day going through the motions. His fall from the Byfrost being one of his worst years but at the same time he'd have never met her without its happening.

The enchantment used to make himself and Thor into humans, or at least to a degree, was a difficult affair and not an easy spell to accomplish. The fact the Odin had offered it made Loki respect the man as a father once more. No longer did he feel the hate he once did for the lies told to him as a child. Loki was passed all that. Loki couldn't help but wonder if Odin would regret it. But it had done what Odin wanted it to do. Loki now had a much better understanding of the human species by feeling it himself.

The year after the enchantment was set in place Tony and Pepper were married and on that same night Loki asked Cairo to marry him. It would be and was a traditional Midgradian wedding and a double wedding. Cairo figured that seeing as they were all facing the same thing that Thor and Jane should share in the same joys of that day. Until that day he had never seen Cairo smile so much then on that night, or at least not until their first child was born. Loki and Cairo had been blessed with a boy. Kass they named him and he had Loki's green eyes but everything else was like Cairo. A year later Jane had given birth to her and Thor's son Selvic, named after their dear friend Eric Selvic who had tragically passed four years prior.

Tony had offered Cairo a job being the head secretary at his company, her hand was never completely the same, as well as helping her build her dream home which Loki and Cairo had offered Thor and Jane to live with them. Loki had chosen to continue helping SHIELD. After Kass, himself and Cairo had only one other child, a baby girl they named Aralia.

They never kept the truth of who himself and Thor were from their children. It was important they knew who they were so that one day they would be prepared to ascend to Asgard with them. It was a difficult beginning as they lived in a world were such things were only thought to be stories but as they grew older they finally understood.

Time was indeed short for humans but so far Loki had managed to keep his mind off death and to just live. He didn't worry about the days he would no longer have Cairo to hold in his arm but he cherished everyday that he still could. Himself and Thor had never been so close, not even as children, then they were now living together on Midgard.

Loki didn't miss his magic or his strength. He didn't miss the beautiful city of Asgard as he knew it was all waiting for him in his future but that was a future he could wait to see. Never did he think he would feel more liberated as a weak and feeble human then he did as a mighty Demi god but that was exactly how he felt. He learned much in the way of humility and respect. Midgard was not perfect nor was its people but it was his home and the people he loved lived there and that was all that mattered to him. He could not fix that world. It was as it was and would continue to evolve and change.

Loki realized that Midgard was forced to change and evolve so fast because of their short lives. In Asgard little changed because everyone had centuries to perfect what they did or to develop changes. Looking at things this way Loki was impressed by what the humans managed to do in their lives.

Really he lived life no differently on Midgard as he would on Asgard. He woke, ate breakfast with his family and then went to work, he came home to a woman who's beauty never seemed to fade, at least not his in eyes and every night he would show her how much he still loved her and how much he still desired her. On his days off they never spent it in doors. Always looking for something new to do together. Loki planned to experience everything Midgard had to offer. He had never understood why the mortals enjoyed doing things that could potentially kill them like jumping from airplanes hundred on miles from the ground but after doing it himself he understood it was the rush you felt and the feeling of achievement when you landed safely. It in turn was really no different from himself and Thor battling monsters that could potentially kill them. The thrill was what drove you onward.

Loki had been thinking about all of these things one very special morning. Cairo was at work and Loki had pretended to go to his but he stayed home. Today was Cairo's birthday and even though she was not fond of surprises he had planned a surprise party anyway. Inviting all their most treasured friends and their children.

Today Cairo turn 40. Their 17 year old daughter and 18 year old son were helping him decorate. Kass was not so excited for this events. He was much like his mother for his temperament. Aralia however was very excited but Loki knew it was because there would be boys there. He warned her to be careful were boys were concerned considering her true nature to live a lengthy life but nonetheless she was excited.

"Kass you're being an idiot!" She yelled when Kass wouldn't pass her the tape. Kass was tall like Loki and had the tape held far above his head. "Moms going to be home soon." She said and punched him in the stomach. He dropped the tape with an 'oof' sound.

"Behave, the two of you." Loki said to them but he wasn't angry with them. They were just being silly. Loki grinned to Thor who was bringing out the platters of food and to Jane who was directing the placement of them.

"I thought this was a party?" Tony Stark said strolling in. "Where's the music? The strobe lights? The alcohol?" He said tisking at Loki.

"It's a surprise party. Not much of a surprise if she can hear it from the street." Loki told the man who had been the one to give his family everything. Tony's and Pepper's daughter was standing next to her mother her red hair standing out next to even her mothers. All their kids had grown up together. The large basement Stark had included in Loki's home made a great games room. And no matter how old she got Cairo was constantly down there playing matches against the kids.

Loki greeted the others who had come to join them. Steve Rogers with his wife Maria with their 10 year old son. Bruce Banner who never took a chance at love. Natasha Romanov who only got sassier looking with age, Clint Barton who still had his ongoing on and off relationship with Natasha, Nick Fury and his son, Darcy Lewis a friend of Jane's and her current boyfriend Loki didn't know and a small handful of people they conversed with often from work. Everyone who had been invited had come which Loki didn't doubt they would.

"I saw mom's car turning the corner on the hill." Aralia said smiling. Yes, Cairo finally learned to drive. Everyone set themselves to wait for her as she came through the door. When she did the tradition was to yell surprise and so that's what everyone did. Loki grinning devilishly when Cairo gave him an 'I'm gonna kill you look.'

"Happy birthday love." He said when he finally got to get close to her.

"Fuck you. You know I hate surprises." She said growling but he could see she was amused.

"Leave the dirty talk for later we have guests." He teased her in return. And so she turned her attention to all her friends thanking them for coming and Loki couldn't help but wonder if Odin was watching and was he proud of the men him and Thor had become.

When the party finally began and the music was playing Loki took a moment to take Cairo into his arm. "I love you." He said to her kissing her forehead.

"I know." She replied tilting her head up and allowing him to kiss her lips. "I love you too." She smiled. "Don't drink too much. You suck in bed when you drink." She warned him.

"No you just think I do because when I get drunk you get drunk and together we suck." He laughed and so did she.

~The End

A/N: ok people I want everyone to know this. I was challenged to do a fic where Loki fell in love with a human. I told my challenger (Ellize Avalon) that it wasn't my thing. I couldn't see Loki loving a straight up human but I also love a challenge. And so I decided to give it a go using my one shot fic and this is where we ended up.

I didn't want Cairo to become immortal because I felt if Loki fell in love with her as a human she would stay human. This was something I was adamant about the entire time writing it. As much as I wanted to stray I believed it had to he like this.

Also I wanted to be different then other fics. So my twist with Loki was my change for this. I wanted a story of love no matter the costs of living. That love can exist even when you come from two different places and nothing could change it.

I do hope everyone did enjoy it even if the happily ever after was not 1000's of years in the making.

I do not see myself writing another Loki/pure human girl fic ever again but I am working on one involving Loki and a human who has her owns ways of living a long, long life.

Anyways tomorrow begins a new chapter of love for Loki with a new OC and a new storyline. This next story is not as serious.

Game, Set, Match!

Loki/OC Loki has always enjoyed his mischief and games. This time he decided to play a game with his mothers handmaiden but finds he had met his match for wits, smart comebacks and the inability to back down. Who will win this naughty game?
