It had been three days since Loki and the Avengers had set on their mission and Maisy was starting to miss her husband. Since they'd had their wedding ceremony the longest they'd been apart was four days while he'd been away fighting a different set of Hydra people. How odd that she had gone from trying her hardest to be independent after a rough break up with Egil to an unwilling wife and then to missing Loki after only a few days of not being with him.

Still, there was some good in having him away from home. There were certain things that she didn't want him to be around for. Things that he would overreact to if he saw the evidence.

"Err, hi," Maisy walked into the pharmacy and approached the desk, "Um…"

"Can I help you find something, dear?" The older woman behind the counter smiled.

"Yes," Maisy's face was bright red, "Um."

"You'll have to tell me what it is you are looking for, dear," the woman laughed, "What is it?"

"Uh… where are your…?"

"Is it something embarrassing?" The woman asked knowingly, "It's okay, honey. I get all sorts of strange things in here. If your body is doing it then it's nothing to be ashamed of, alright?"

"Right, ahem," Maisy glanced around the establishment and leaned in closer to whisper her request to the other woman.

"Of course, sweetie, I actually have some back here behind the counter. I was just going to restock them. Shall I bag one up for you?"

Maisy nodded and took out her wallet. She paid and stuffed the bag in her purse, certain that she'd happen to bump into someone she knew on her way home and be found out.

"Have a nice day, dear!"

"Thanks!" Maisy squeaked and practically ran from pharmacy. She briskly walked up the street and kept up her speedy pace all the way home. As she rode the elevator to their floor she couldn't help the racing of her heart in anticipation for what she might find out. When she got home she tossed her keys onto the counter and sped walked into the bathroom, throwing aside her jacket as she went.

She was in such a hurry that she didn't see Linn sitting in the living room with her friends. The girls all looked at each other and shrugged.

"She musta had to go real bad," Linn commented as they went back to working on a poster for their club.

"Anyway," Alexis Clary Senior continued her story from before Maisy had burst into the apartment, "I told my mom that I wasn't interested in spending Easter with my dad, but she insisted-"

"Blast it all to Helheim!"

The girls all looked toward the bathroom door at the sound of Maisy swearing.

"Uh… dat's an Asgard fing to say," Linn commented, preparing to go offer assistance if Maisy was in trouble.

A moment later Maisy bustled out of the bathroom, still not noticing the girls, and pulled her jacket back on. Grabbing her keys once more, she sped walked out of the apartment.

"Is she okay?" Midnight asked in her monotone way.

"Should we follow her?" Bibi looked in the direction Maisy had gone.

"I'm sure it's fine," Linn said reluctantly, "I mean… right?"

"Yeah," all the girls decided unanimously. Alexis Clary Senior resumed her story and they continued using glue sticks and construction paper.

Meanwhile, Maisy had sprinted back into the pharmacy and looked around desperately for the woman who had helped her earlier. She found her in the cough drop section.

"Oh, hello again, dear! Forget something?"

Maisy balled her fists nervously and could feel tears building up.

"Honey, honey, what's wrong?"

Maisy bit her lip and finally spilled:

"I don't know how to be a mother!"

"Oh dear."
