Thor smiled as they sat in their hut, desi now sitting in his lap. He brushed some hair from her face. "What would you like to do? Are you still hungry?" He asked softly.

"After that workout, I can definitely eat." Desi chuckled. "A swim might be good also, so we can clean up."

"Do you still want our sandwiches?" He asked.

"If no bugs have gotten to them, I was enjoying the sandwich." Desi replied. After a moment she very reluctantly moved off his lap.

Thor ran his hand along her back as she moved, unable to keep his hands from her. "Do you want me to get some clothes?"

Desi pretended to think about it for a moment. "No, definitely not." She grinned. "If we're going to go for a swim, there wouldn't be much need, and it's just more work to take it all off again later."

"That gives me a wonderful view the rest of the day then," he replied happily as he watched her move around the hut.

"The view is equally wonderful for me." Desi grinned. "You might need to help me up though, my legs are still wobbly."

Thor chuckled softly and stood before he grasped Desi's waiting hand and pulled her to her feet before he steadied her by holding her waist. "My beautiful girl," he murmured, then kissed her lips.

Desi leaned against Thor's chest after their kiss. "My handsome prince." She said with a content sigh, then walked out with him. "How soon should we announce our engagement?"

"When would you like to?" Thor asked softly while he reached out and caressed her hips in slow circles.

"I don't know, I want everyone to know that you're mine... but I'm not sure about how it normally works because of your titles." She admitted. Once outside, Desi checked their sandwiches and found them bug free, so she handed Thor his.

Thor took it from her and took a bite. "It doesn't have to be publicly announced right away, but it will be hard to hide it from mother."

"Knowing her, she will already know by time we return." Desi chuckled. "And you know I will have to tell Laney."

"I'm not so sure," Thor replied. "Mother keeps a closer eye on Loki than me."

"I wouldn't want to keep it from her either way... so maybe we just tell family for right now, and I'm sure your mother can advise us on when to publicly announce it." Desi pointed out, then took a bite of her sandwich.

"That sounds like a good idea," Thor replied. He bent down and got his mug of mead and took a drink once he finished his sandwich.

Desi finished her sandwich then picked up her mug and finished her drink. "Should we check the water now?"

Thor took a drink of his mead as he turned and walked over to the lake. Once there, he bent down and put his hand in the water. "It's cool, but not cold," he called.

Desi watched him with a little grin. "You should check it again; I like that view." She teased. After she set her empty mug down, she walked over and joined him by the water.

He looked at her with a smirk. "What view? My ass in the air?"

"Just your naked ass in general." She chuckled but gave his ass a playful smack. She dipped her foot into the water. "It's not too bad, a quick swim would be nice." She said then stepped into the water.

Thor smirked at her and watched as she walked into the deeper part of the lake. "You look pretty nice yourself."

"Care to join me?" Desi asked, looking back at him with a sweet smile.

"Don't mind if I do," he replied sweetly as he stepped into the lake and walked up to her before he embraced her in his arms. "This feels nice."

Desi loosely wrapped her arms around Thor's neck. "This is nice... the water also feels good."

He chuckled as he swayed them around in the water. "So... do you like our getaway so far?"

"I love it and could easily stay here forever with you." Desi said truthfully. "How long can we stay?"

"A couple of nights at the most. But maybe we can arrange to come back and stay longer," he told her.

"I would love that. I can't leave Laney very long in her condition either. We should definitely plan a longer stay a few times a year." Desi agreed, then pulled Thor into a kiss.

Thor returned her kiss and pulled her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist. "We could bring them with us sometime too."

"That would be so much fun!" Desi said happily, wrapping her legs tight around his waist. "We can do some trips as all of us, and some just the two of us... I'm sure they would want to do the same."

"I'm sure they would. Especially to get a break once and a while from Star once she is born."

"You know we will be the ones watching her, right? I never pass up a chance to babysit." Desi said truthfully. "I just worry your mother will want to take turns..."

Thor laughed as he walked into deeper water. "You can count on that. It's their first grandchild. They will want time with her too."

"I know... we will have to work something out." Desi said in a joking dramatic tone. She held on tighter when he took her deeper into the water.

"I'm not going to drop you," he said softly as his hands splayed wide over her bare back.

"I'm not worried about you dropping me, I just like the excuse to cling to you." Desi said, then pressed a soft kiss to his jaw.

He smirked as he lazily drew patterns on her skin. "What would you like to do now? It's a while until the evening, but I can build a fire, so we have a good flame to make that soup."

"How long does it take to get the fire hot enough to cook over?" Desi asked softly.

"Not too long. It will also help us dry off."

"We can start the fire whenever you think it's the best time. I've never been camping before, so I don't know how all of this works." Desi admitted.

"I can start to build one now," he said softly as he turned and began walking out of the lake with her in his arms. "Do you want a blanket?"

"Yes, I definitely need a blanket." Desi said, feeling the cold when the breeze hit her. "It was much warmer when we were dry." She joked.

He chuckled as he bent down, still holding her, to grab a blanket from their bags. He put it around her before he let her stand on her feet again. "You can go in the hut if you want, until I have the fire lit."

Desi pulled the blanket around her nice and snug. "Not a chance. I'm staying right here with you." She told him.

Thor grinned as he bent and dug in their bag to retrieve a tunic and pulled it over his head. "Alright darling." He walked over to the wood pile and grabbed some before he moved to the spot he wanted to build the fire and began to place the wood in a triangle.

Desi joined him and helped carry some of the wood over, copying his placements to build the triangle. "Can you teach me how to light a fire with no tools?" She asked, excited to see his skills in action.

"Sure. I just need some dry grass and a couple of sticks," he told her.

"I will be right back." Desi said. She walked just a short distance from the hut when she found enough sticks and dry grass. Collecting a big handful of each, she returned to Thor. "Is this enough?"

He grinned at her and took them from her hands. "Plenty." He knelt back down and laid one piece of wood on its side, partially under the triangle they had made. Then placed the grass on the wood before he put the other stick's end in the grass and began to spin it back and forth in his hands.

Desi sat on her knees next to Thor, watching him. "I kind of thought you might just summon a lightning bolt to spark the fire." She chuckled.

"I don't need that much energy," he told her as the grass began to smoke. Before too long, small flames erupted and began to crackle as Thor gently blew on it to make it bigger.

"That's actually really impressive." Desi said truthfully. "Would have been more impressive with your shirt off though." She teased.

Thor chuckled as the fire came to life, letting him sit back onto the ground. "I was chilly too. Although sitting on the ground bare assed isn't that bad."

"Do you want to share the blanket with me?" Desi offered, wanting to snuggle up with him while waiting for the fire to heat up.

"Sure," he said softly as he stood and walked over to her before he sat beside her, then pulled her into his lap.

Desi pulled the blanket around them both and curled up to Thor. "This is so nice." She said, very happy and very content. "I'm starting to think it might rain..." she pointed out, seeing how cloud cover was slowly building over the forest.

Thor looked up and nodded. "It might. If that's the case, we'll have to bundle up in the hut. The cloth is enchanted so it won't get wet."

"That sounds equally as nice." Desi said, laying her head on his shoulder. "If you can get out of court, do you want to come with me to Yamir next time?"

"I would love to," he said softly. "Thank you for inviting me."

"It won't be until after Star is delivered though." Desi told him; happy he would go with her.

"That would be fine. I worry about poor Laney; she seems ready for it to be over with." He wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed her skin.

"She is, and I can't really blame her. Star is so strong already and her bone density is closer to Loki's, so I'm surprised she hasn't done any actual damage yet." Desi said and snuggled closer.

Thor kissed her temple, then nuzzled into her neck. "I hope everything will be alright with the delivery."

"It should be. I've delivered Jotun babies before. It's carrying them that's hard. Star is also smaller, so that will make for an even easier delivery." She pressed a soft kiss to his collarbone.

"I hope so," Thor replied in a sigh, enjoying the feeling of her lips on his skin. "For both of their sakes."

"If we stay tomorrow night, we will need to head back after that, so I can get her petition results." She pressed another kiss, a little closer to his throat.

He tilted his head back with a soft smile on his face. "Both of us will need to check on our charges."

"If court is still halted, what will you be doing." Desi asked curiously, then kissed her way along his jawline.

"I will have a talk with my grandfather, see if he will tell me anything," Thor said softly, while his hands ran up her back, then down her sides.

"What if he has already told all to your mother?" Desi asked. "Will you just spend your days sparring?"

Thor shrugged. "It is possible. Or I could work with Frey."

"I am booked for the first few days after we get back, then I have a couple half days, and then two days off. You can always hang out with me at work, if you get too bored." Desi told him, hoping he would take her up on it.

"As long as you don't think I'll be in the way," he told her.

"You could never be in the way. I might put you to work though." She chuckled.

He chuckled as he massaged her hips gently. "I believe it."

"I'm already looking forward to it." She said with a smile, just as it started to sprinkle.

Thor sighed as he looked up at the sky. "Do you want to get in the hut?"

"I think so. We will never dry off in the rain." Desi said, feeling cold again since the temperature dropped with the rain.

He stood with Desi in his arms, then walked into the hut and sat her down before he laid beside her. "How's that?"

"It's much warmer, being out of the breeze." Desi said, then curled up to Thor, laying her head on his chest. "I love you so much."

"I love you too my sweet girl," he said quietly as he caressed the curve of her spine, then her hip.

Desi gave a soft yawn. "I like how that feels." She said softly.

"Getting tired?" Thor murmured as he continued the soothing motions.

"I wasn't, but this is just so relaxing." Desi chuckled, then pressed a kiss to his chest.

Thor looked down at her with a soft smile. "You can sleep if you like. I may join you."

"Maybe just a short nap, I'm not done with you yet." She mumbled.

He smirked then kissed her forehead, feeling as Desi fell asleep. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep right behind her.
