Chapter warnings: Okay, so this is going to be a bit of spoiler, but there is a birth scene right below this. Also, sorry in advance for the way I've described it (it's strange for me, and literally, out of my league). By the way, I chose those names for the babies because according to Norse Mythology, Narfi is Loki's son and Magni is Thor's son (in fact, Magni appears in some of Thor comics of Marvel, and he is the god of strength).
This is the last chapter. I hope you have enjoyed it. Please, leave a review. See you next time!
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" screamed Loki while sweat and tears fell from his face. "I SWEAR THAT IF YOU TRY TO TOUCH ME AGAIN I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" his grip on Thor's hand was even stronger.
"I know, my love. But our babies need you right now. You can do it, Loki. Just keep pushing, you can do it." said Thor as calm as he was able to, feeling his hand hurt. It was true that Loki wasn't as strong as he was, but Thor's hand was hurting from Loki's grip. He didn't complain, though.
"YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE A BABY COMING OUT OF YOU, DUMB OAF!" screamed Loki with a strange voice since he was screaming too much. However, he kept pushing because he knew that Thor was right.
Loki had shifted into his female form to be able to deliver the babies successfully; there were multiple healers from all Asgard specialised in births; and they also had a letter from Lady Eyra herself, describing step by step the delivery.
Loki kept on screaming while he was pushing until he heard a baby crying. He didn't know how he was able to feel so much happiness, soreness and tiredness at the same time. However, when he was about to relax, he felt another contraction growing inside him.
"Oh, no. Please, I can't." he said while feeling his tears again.
"You can, Loki. You can do anything you set your mind to it. Come on, our baby needs you." Thor was the only one speaking to him and he was grateful for that.
Loki didn't have enough strength, but at the same time, he knew that his baby boy was going to die if he didn't do anything. Even though he didn't know from where he recovered his force, he started to push again.
My baby needs me, my baby needs me, he repeated like a chant on his mind while he kept making an effort.
Loki continued grabbing Thor's hand with full force and even though the blond remained caressing his hair and smiling affectionately at him, he knew that he had to feel some degree of pain. However, when he felt the next contraction he didn't find it in himself to think about that. His pain was strong enough.
After what felt like an eternity, he heard another baby crying and he couldn't help laughing while crying at the same time. Damn hormones. Thor kissed his forehead lightly while pulling his dark hair away from his face. Loki was so exhausted that he wasn't able to shift to his usual male form but he didn't care either. He felt someone cleaning him while Thor caressed him and whispered words of wonder. He could barely keep his eyes open, but he wanted to see his babies.
"Where are they? Is everything alright?" Loki asked Thor worried, forcing himself to keep his eyes open.
"Yes, my love. Everything is alright. They are cleaning them and you, and they should be here with you any moment now." Thor told him while caressing him. He was right: some minutes later Loki was presented with his two beautiful babies. Thor helped him to sit properly so he was able to hold both his babies one with each arm.
Thor hugged the three of them, but Loki wasn't able to pay any attention to him as he was mesmerised by his babies. One of them had blond hair, just like Thor, although he shared his pale complexion. That little baby opened his eyes slightly to look at him, and Loki was able to appreciate that he had bright green eyes. He then turned his gaze to his other baby, who had dark black hair, Thor's natural tanned skin tone, and when he opened his little eyes, they were blue like the sea just the same as his father.
"You are going to be Narfi." Loki named the baby with blond hair. "And you are going to be Magni." he named his other baby. He hadn't talked to Thor about the babies' names, but he knew that his husband wouldn't have any problem.
"Welcome to the world, Narfi and Magni, Princes of Asgard. May you know nothing but happiness." Thor said, leaving a kiss on each baby's forehead and then on Loki's.
Loki was incredibly happy but he was exhausted as well, so he gave the babies to Thor who was the only person whom he trusted his babies with. He then fell asleep almost instantly.
When Loki woke up again, he was resting on his and Thor's bed. The dim candle lights were a signal that he had slept throughout the whole day since his babies were born in the morning. He shifted back into his male form before trying to look for his husband. He found Thor sitting next to him on the bed, and he had to rub his eyes to prove himself that he wasn't hallucinating. Thor was reading a book. He must have seen his confused face because he left the book on the floor and smiled warmly at him. He caressed his cheek with the back of his hand.
"Have I travelled to another universe in which you know how to read?" Loki asked incredulously. Thor chuckled.
"I know how to read, even when I don't do it as much as you, my love. How are you feeling?" he asked in a whisper, not taking away his hand from Loki's cheek. The god of mischief found comfort in the warmth of his hand.
"Incredibly sore. I thought that once I have shifted back into my male form, the pain would go away. But I was wrong. It hurts even more in this shape…" Loki tried to shift his position but decided against it once he felt the pain inside him. "Where are they?"
"They are sleeping in their cradle. They are so wonderful, Loki. Magni is so active: he won't stop moving his legs and kicking everywhere. I think I spent four hours straight just watching them." Loki couldn't help smiling when he heard Thor being so excited about the babies. "And Narfi he is just…peaceful. He opens his little green eyes, looks at his brother and just goes back to his business. He's just like you when I was being hyperactive." his pride was showing on his face.
"I want to see them. Help me." Loki commanded while ignoring his pain and trying to sit up. Thor helped him to get up and walk slowly towards their babies' cradle. Both of them were sleeping peacefully, although Magni was moving his little legs and arms everywhere. Loki chuckled. "Yes, they are exactly like us when we were children. Although, I hope Narfi won't turn himself into a snake to stab Magni…" he said looking at Thor with a smile. The king hugged him while chuckling softly.
"Well, he will have you as a teacher, so yes, that is exactly what he's going to do. If he has powers, that is." Loki nodded slightly and just then the babies started to cry. "I think they're hungry again. They drank very little from their bottle: they hated it."
"Why didn't you wake me up? Bring them to me, will you?" Loki said while walking slowly towards the bed. He took off his shirt and made his breasts grow bigger, just like a woman's. He sat upright on the bed and looked at Thor expectantly. The god of thunder smiled, carried each one of his babies in each arm. He then gave each baby to Loki. The babies quickly began to drink from his mother's chest eagerly. "What were you reading?" Loki asked Thor without looking at him. He was too drawn by the sight of his babies being fed.
"What? Oh, sorry. It's just that seeing you, feeding them…it's the most wonderful sight I've ever seen." he sat next to him in the bed. "I was reading a book about babies… I'm afraid I won't be a good father." Loki wanted to caress his cheek, but his two hands were busy carrying his babies.
"Thor, you are going to be the best father. I know that because first of all, you are a great king, which makes you technically the father of Asgard. And then, because I'll make sure that you are. It's going to be my personal mission. I'm going to kill you if you hurt our babies." Loki answered, smiling. Thor chuckled. "Don't worry. We are going to learn together. Besides, I never had a good father -even when I had two- and you had the best. We will make great parents together." he smiled at Thor warmly.
"I think you're right. Maybe I'm thinking too much…"
"Yes, and your brain went into short-circuit. Here, grab Magni. He has just finished. Put his belly on your shoulder, always grab his head, and pat his back slightly until he has released all the air." Thor followed Loki's instructions thoroughly. "Stop thinking, oaf. Enjoy this moment, it's beautiful."
"It is. I was just wondering how you know so much."
"Because I'm a genius, of course. And I have read a lot too, dumb. Didn't you think that I was nervous too?" Loki did with Narfi the same he had instructed Thor to do. "I just did my research before the babies were born. But you don't need to worry. As I told you, as long as we are together, we'll be able to do anything." Thor slowly got closer to him, until their foreheads were touching.
"It's true. If I have you, my love, my everything, my Loki…there's nothing I can't do."
They shared a small peck on the lips which was cut short because Magni started to fuss on his father's arms. They both chuckled. Their lives together as a family had just begun.
