Okay, so I guess I didn't explain everything. That's not surprising, because I hadn't expected that chapter to be perfect anyway. And again, I'm sorry I didn't update last weekend but Lokicest.

We'll just pretend that Jotuns still have their periods when they're preggers. Okay? Okay.

Chapter 37: That Time of the Month

Thor was still bedridden for one day, and Loki one more day after that. Most likely it had to do with the pregnancy, because nobody would dare compare his stamina with Thor's if they wanted to remain a human being. Thor remained at Loki's bedside like a loyal guard dog, and he was mostly silent, so Loki didn't mind as much as he would have before all of this happened. The only times he spoke were in reply to something Loki or anyone else said to him.

Sif and the Warriors Three visited one time, and the two princes made no mention about Loki's "condition." The four warriors behaved the same way around Loki as they had for the past few months instead of returning to their normal treatment of him before their memories were altered. They didn't appear to be acting, and Loki was glad that they no longer hated him.

Frigga visited several times, and the room seemed to brighten in her presence. Much to Thor's chagrin, she dismissed him, saying she could watch over Loki for awhile. Thor was about to argue but Loki told him to listen to his mother and that he should spend some time with his friends.

"Alright. Is there anything I can get for you when I come back?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact. Bring me some books. I feel like I haven't read in months." He then brought a finger to his chin and his expression changed to one as if he'd just had an epiphany. "Oh wait, I haven't."

"Alright. Anything in particular?" He almost sounded sad.

"That book you read to me."

Thor merely nodded before leaving the room. Loki leaned back against the pillows and a smile graced his features as Frigga petted his hair gently.

According to Thor's friends, as far as they were aware, Odin had mostly kept to the throne room and his study, choosing to dine alone. He had tried to visit the Healing Rooms one time, but after being denied entrance never returned.

When Loki was finally allowed to leave, he immediately went to his room and sat at his desk so he could read without a bunch of people breathing down his neck. He turned the pages and heaved a sigh that was half relief, half exasperation, when he saw that all of the blanks had been replaced by his name. Did Odin really hate him so much that he would even remove him from books? He really must not have wanted people to remember him. Well, except Heimdall and Frigga. Heimdall was way too powerful, and Odin could never do something like that to his mother. Loki's eyes widened.

"Sleipnir didn't forget me. That's why he trusted me so much so quickly."

Odin had forbade Loki from visiting Sleipnir, believing he would try to free his son, so he had no choice but to wait until tonight to see him. Loki closed his book and leaned back in his chair. He was afraid to admit it, but he didn't feel like reading. In fact, he was quite bored. Maybe the effects of the memory loss were worse than he thought.

When Loki rose from his chair, he felt a sharp pain in his gut, and his hand immediately clutched his stomach. He didn't feel hungry, seeing how the Healers had practically force-fed him, so it couldn't have been a stomach ache. And the baby wasn't even close to being far enough along to be kicking him. He uttered a spell to dampen the pain then left the room on slightly wobbly legs. Several times on the way he was asked by a passing servant if he needed assistance, but he politely turned them down.

As Loki entered the training grounds, he tried to ignore the multiple sets of eyes turned his way. He couldn't really blame them though; it was rare that he come here at all, let alone by himself and without a book in his hands. When he reached the back wall, he sat down on the bench gingerly and closed his legs together. When Thor noticed him he waved his arm and wore a stupid grin on his face. Loki returned the gesture with a twiddle of his fingers and a thin curve of his lips.

After awhile of watching Thor win all of his battles, despite the fact that he had avoided the training grounds for nearly a week, Loki noticed someone sit down next to him, and turned his head to see Sif. It was strange that of all of Thor's friends, he had become closest to her, especially considering their history. And she didn't seem to maintain any of her old grudges, despite the fact that she now remembers everything.

What confused Loki was that at that moment, she seemed to be looking at him with an expression of worry.

"Are you alright, Loki?"

"What do you mean?"

"You just…don't look well. I mean no offense."

'SHE KNOWS.'

"Thor you imbecile," Loki cursed under his breath.

"Pardon?"

"Nothing, nothing. I am fine, Sif. Really. But I thank you for your concern."

"Loki! You're bleeding!" Thor shouted.

"What? Again?!" Loki exclaimed, rubbing at his nose and chin.

"No, not your nose, your legs!"

Loki and Sif looked down to see a large red stain in Loki's pants on his crotch and upper thighs. By now, the other three warriors had come over due to Thor's yelling.

"Oh. Well would you look at that," Loki muttered, not sounding concerned in the slightest.

"You are injured! We must get you to the Healing Rooms!" Thor yelled before lifting Loki into his arms.

"What?! Thor, I'm not injured!" Loki retorted. "Stop running, you're making it worse! Oooooh my gods…" he groaned, squeezing his thighs together.

"Was that-? Is he-? What-? How-?" Fandral stammered.

"Don't think too much, you might inflict permanent damage," Sif deadpanned.

As per usual with the blonde oaf, Thor unceremoniously burst into the Healing Rooms, most likely giving everyone inside a heart attack. Loki had long since given up trying to pry himself from Thor's grip and was simply glaring in front of him and had his arms crossed like a petulant child.

"I can't help but notice you're back, Your Highnesses," the Elder Healer muttered.

"Loki is injured! He needs treatment!" Thor yelled, practically dropping the other male on one of the beds. Loki had to clench when the mattress made him bounce.

"Thor! I'm not injured!" Loki shouted, slapping his palms down.

"But you are bleeding!"

"I'm supposed to be bleeding! That's perfectly normal! Well, for someone like me." Loki sighed at Thor's expression of confusion. "I will be fine in a week."

"You are going to bleed for an entire week?! How long has this been going on?!"

"Can we please not talk about this? It's personal and a little embarrassing," Loki whispered when he noticed that they had drawn the attention of nearly everyone in the room.

"Oh, my apologies. I did not know."

"I didn't expect you to." He was trying to be patient with the blonde, but it was becoming more and more difficult as the seconds went by.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Just give me space when I ask for it and don't annoy me." Thor nodded enthusiastically with a huge grin on his face. "And now would be one of those times when I need some space. Please."

"Oh. Yes. Of course. I shall see you this evening for dinner?"

"I'll be there." Thor shifted on his feet uncertainly then leaned forward to press his lips against Loki's forehead before leaving the room. "I am sorry about all of this, my lady."

"There is nothing to apologize for, Prince Loki. It could not be helped. Let's get you changed into some clean garments," the Elder Healer responded with a sympathetic smile.

Just thought I'd end it there because reasons. I REGRET NOTHING!

Ahh…I love seeing my fanfics on the Thorki Smut tumblr blog. Although I'm still at a loss as to why the High School AU is there. First of all, it's not just Thorki; there are like…10 different pairings. Second of all, it's not smut. It's just a bunch of crack and bullshit okay. And it's on AO3, meaning it's pretty much blocked to everyone. Eh, I'll post it here eventually so all you lovely people can read it. I just hope the Lokicest ones don't end up on there because they're terrible. Seriously, don't read them or your eyes will bleed.
