Jane is 21 weeks pregnant. I have no knowledge what so ever about ultrasound technicians or anything so i just winged it lol.
"This gel might be a little cold," the ultrasound technician said, rubbing a clear gel onto Jane's bare stomach.
"Holy crap, that's freezing!" Jane exclaimed, jumping slightly. She and Thor were in the office of her OBGYN for her first ultrasound. She had given Thor a brief review of the machines while they waited, explaining what everything was.
"I'm sorry about that," the woman replied. "How have you been feeling lately?"
"I've been okay. The baby started kicking about a week ago. The morning sickness finally stopped thank god, but now my feet swell sometimes. I guess it's the lesser of two evils," Jane said.
"The joys of motherhood huh? I had the worst morning sickness when I was pregnant with my last child; it was horrible," the technician laughed. "It'll be worth it when you have your baby; everything is worth it when you finally hold your child."
"Do you have many children?" Thor asked curiously.
"You could say that; I have two girls and a boy. They're my world. When you have a baby, it completely changes your life. Everything in your life becomes about your child. What am I ranting on about; we're here to see how your child is doing," the woman said, turning on a small monitor. "Now let's see what your baby is up to," she said softly, moving the sensor across Jane's stomach.
Thor slipped his hand into Jane's, his eyes focused intently on the small monitor. He was amazed when Jane told him this machine would allow them to see their babe while they were still inside of her and make sure all was well. He was full of nervous excitement, waiting to catch the first glimpse of his and Jane's child.
"Now this is the heartbeat," the woman said as a soft beating sound filled the room. "The heartbeat is nice and strong; that's very good; now let's see what your baby looks like. Do you guys want to know the gender of the baby?"
"No, we do not," Thor replied. After discussing it at length, Thor and Jane decided they would rather wait until the baby was born to find out if they were having a boy or a girl.
"Alright then, here's your baby," the technician said, pointing to the screen.
"Oh Thor," Jane gasped, her eyes filling with tears. "Look at our baby." The picture wasn't ideal, made of only black and white, but it was enough for them to be able to make out the baby curled up.
"Our babe is so small," Thor said softly, his voice filled with wonder. "Look at the tiny hands and feet."
"Your baby is still growing, but right now he or she looks perfectly healthy," the woman said, leaving the room to give them some privacy. The room remained silent as Jane and Thor watched their child on the monitor, the baby's heartbeat filling the air.
"What do you mean you didn't find out what you're having?" Tony asked incredulously.
"Jane and I decided we would wait for the birth of our babe to learn whether she carries a boy or a girl," Thor replied. After the appointment, Thor and Jane returned to Stark Towers to relax with the rest of the team.
"Leave 'em alone Tony; it's their choice if they want to know or not," Steve said. "It's nice that they want to be surprised."
"And you can't tell anything from this picture," Tony added, looking down at the small ultrasound picture resting on the coffee table. "All you can tell is that the baby is human."
"You're just upset that there's a secret you can't weasel out of someone," Clint said. "Let Thor and Jane bask in their baby happiness."
"This will make shopping for baby clothes a little more difficult. And planning the baby shower," Natasha said offhandedly. "You'll have to stick to yellows and greens."
"And we'll have to get creative with the decorating," Pepper added.
"I'm sure we can think of something," Jane replied, yawning slightly. "I don't want a pink or blue nursery anyway; I want something different."
"Your child is going to be a half-Asgardian raised with the Avengers. How much more different are you going to get?" Bruce laughed.
"How are you even going to pick baby names?" Tony asked, refusing to give up the topic of the baby's gender.
"Are you going to give the baby an Asgardian name or an Earth name?" Steve asked.
"We haven't decided yet," Jane answered. "Though I've been flipping through some Asgardian history books to see if anything pops out at me."
"Do you have any ideas friends?" Thor asked.
"You should name the baby after me," Tony replied, smirking. "Tony if it's a boy and Antonia if it's a girl."
"Please do not name your kid after Tony," Bruce begged. "His ego is big enough."
"Any other suggestions?" Jane asked.
"How about Anya for a girl?" Natasha suggested.
"How about James?" Steve asked, his thoughts on the best friend he had lost. "Or Peggy?"
"I like Peggy; it's different," Jane replied.
"Are you gonna suggest something clichéd, Robin Hood?" Tony asked.
"Like what?" Clint replied, brushing off the nickname. "Katniss or Legolas?"
"Exactly like that," Tony said. "Seriously, think about naming your kid Tony."
"Tony, they are not going to name their kid after you," Pepper said, shaking her head. "You can name your child after you."
"Would you let me name our kid after me?" Tony asked, smirking as Pepper blushed.
"Lady Pepper, are you and the Man of Iron to have a babe also?" Thor asked excitedly.
"No no no," Pepper replied quickly, glaring at Tony. "Tony was only making a joke."
"Careful Tony or you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight," Bruce cautioned.
"He might already be," Steve replied.
"Pepper knows I love her just as much as she loves me, don't ya Pepper?" Tony said, smiling at her.
"If I didn't love you, you'd be dead," Pepper replied, smiling slightly as she shook her head. "Don't worry too much about baby names; you guys still have three and a half months."
"Yes, we still have a great amount of time," Thor replied, putting his arm around Jane's shoulder.
What do you guys think the baby should be named? Will Jane have a boy or a girl? Reviews please
