Fárbauti hissed as Laufey pressed a piece of ice against his head. "And what did you think was going to happen by going to the bifrost bridge? That it would open and you could walk right into Asgard?"

In one of his rare foul moods Fárbauti didn't answer but growled.

"Don't you rowl at me! I am not the one who ran right into a berrier and got knocked back, and hold sting this will sting."

"Damn it, Laufey!" Fárbautiyelled pulling away the towel that shockingly burned.. "What is that stuff?!"

"Tis a wash cloth and your wounds need to be cleaned. Also I did not give you anything to fend against the pain."

"And may I ask why?"

"Because you went and did something that could kill you." Laufey said softer. "And what will I do than?"

From the corner Loki watched them, perfectly hidden in his wolf pelt. He watched them closely. Father had been hurt but not as bad as it could have been and luckily Bera had found him and brought him back to try and heal him. His brothers meanwhile chasing one of his clones around and soon they would both figure out they were chasing two Lokis that weren't real.

There was a long pause. "Forgive me… Just knowing what has been happening to our son and the black markings we saw. Clearly he was trying to stop it himself."

Laufey wrapped the last of the bandages around his mates arm. "Forcing abortions to keep others form getting the children… It must have been painful but Loki must have known it was better than using his babies as treaties." Laufey sat back for a moment. "The markings run deep so clearly he did not want to."

"I agree. Better. No one would know how to keep a babe Juton alive in other realms. Laufey, do you know why I went to confront Odin and came back?"

"When you went to confront and was thrown back? Do tell me." Laufey growled.

"Loki is with child."

Laufey's eyes flamed. "What?"

"Four months along. He hid it form the healers. My love he thought I that we would take the babe form him. Although I did almost say that."

"Why would you?"

"I was meaning to take the baby to the healers to ensure he or she was healthy. Now we need to find Loki and tell him that."

"Yes. Damn that Odin… He knew what Loki is!"

Frabuti was going to continue when from the corner of his eye he saw something shift very slightly and realized that they had a little spy in their mists. It was amusing.

Fárbauti smiled and leaned back humming a little. Tell me, Love what do think the child should be named?"

"That is Loki's choice." Laufey relaxed a little. "However I would like it if he had a mate to be with him."

"Yes, that would be nice- Wait a moment! A mate? A life mate?"

"Of course a mate. What else?"

Now Frabuti didn't seem to like the idea. "But he is still little."

"Small."

"I don't think he should have a mate. You said yourself that Loki is like a child in our world."

"He is. Speaking of which I decided that he may go with you to ..." The next part was hard to get out. "The towns..."

"FINALLY!"

"But I will skin you alive if you lose him."

Something came scuttling across the floor and Laufey caught Loki and brought him up and sat him on his lap. Loki pushed back the wolf hood back.

"How long have you known that I've been here?" Loki asked.

"When you moved," Fárbauti said proudly.

"I saw you coming in before I closed the door."

"You did?"

"Why do you think I left it open longer?" Laufey said but he was smirking at his mate.

"Show off. Now than, Loki how would you like to see the towns?"

Loki smiled. "Just don't lose me."

"One time!" Fárbauti looked at his smirking mate. "One time, Laufey!"

Loki couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh God it hurts... Ow! Slow down! Ow, ow, ow, ow!"

"Hold still and maybe it won't hurt as much."

"Right... just hold still - Damn it Cap! It's too big!"

"Tony, if you don't stop moving it's going to tare!"

"No! Your being to rough!"

"Damn it Tony!"

Fury entered the room. "Stark stop acting like a damn baby and let Rogers finish stitching up your arm."

Tony glared at him. "Well it hurts!"

"Done." Steve said and set the small needle aside.

Groaning Tony held his arm. "How many stitches did you sew into me? fifty? Sixty?"

"Seven."

"...Anyways how are you Point Break?"

Thor. stared our the window. Steve and Tony exchanged glances. They both knew Thor was missing his brother. After all Thor was still desperately trying to find away to reunite his beloved brother.

Loki was excited about going out. To be honest the last three months he spent in the palace and even than he didn't explore much so this was going to be fun.

Looking up Loki could tell Bera wasn't to happy even though he had given Frabuti the go ahead. Everyone knew was over excited but the younger brothers kept telling Loki were to be if Father lost him and how to summon for help.

Loki pulled on his wolf skin and let Laufey adjust it since he was worried. Soon Frabuti came riding up with his beast looking beyond happy. Laufey helped Loki up and his son settled down sitting cross legged.

"Do not lose him." Laufey growled.

"Yes, love. Now how about a kiss?"

"When you bring Loki back you'll get your kiss."

Laughing Fárbauti turn the beast and headed outside the palace walls with Loki waving from over his Father's shoulder.

Laufey looked at his sons. "I have the urge to tell you to follow them."

They chuckled.

Fárbauti dismounted his beast and let Loki jump onto his shoulder. Loki pushed his hood down and looked around.

It was a grand town filled with Jotun and their children who were running around laughing. This was something that he never would have expected such a nice place in Jotunnhime. Than again he thought that Jotunnhime was just a savage place to just to find out the opposite.

Suddenly they were surrounded by Jotuns and Loki gasped tensing up. Father seems quite proud laughing loudly greeting them as his friends, hugging a few of them.

"Fárbauti! Is this him?"

"Yes! My friends and people!" He announced. "Behold my first born son Loki!"

The crowd cheered and got closer to get a look and Loki grew nervous and yelp when he was passed around each time getting pets, hugs, greeting, one kissed the top of his head... and it continued until he was soon back with Fárbauti. Loki shook his head and quickly fixed his tussled. Although now his hair was no longer slicked back but framed his face Loki still wanted it to look nice. For a moment he took a better look and noticed that these Jotun had hair... and no horns?

What?

Before Loki could comment Fárbauti reach up and for a second he thought his father was going to take off his head when ice mist formed at his hands and lines appeared and soon a light metal line showed and Fárbauti pulled the horns and a helmet came off revealing short salt and pepper hair.

Eyes wide Loki sat shocked before reaching up he touched the hair.

Chuckling Fárbauti smiled. "Did you think we were all bald?"

Loki. cheeks burned pale blue as that was how Jotuns blushed. "I... I never saw any of you without them. Not even when I slept near."

"We took them off. Just remember you were a sleep when we arrived and when you woke we had already changed for the day."

"Yes, that is true. Father?"

"Yes, my child?"

"What is that?" Loki's pointed to shop.

"That is a dinning hall. Are you hungry?"

"Not at the moment. Show me other places please?"

"Of course. First I shall show you a shop that I think you'll like."

Laufey slumped in his throne. He was supposed to he listening to the court but his mind kept wondering back to all the possible ways his mate could lose Loki and it was unsettling.

"Bera."

Laufey looked at Helbindi, who was in the place of Frabuti today, and his son frowned and raised his eyebrow a clear sign of 'pay attention'.

Sighing Laufey looked back as court continued and eventually leaned back using his hand to rest his cheek on watching and once again picturing Loki lost and Fárbauti running around looking for him. By the Norns! Laufey clutched his stomach and the whole court gasped and looked at him as his sons rushed forward.

"Bera?"

"Your Majesty?" The advisor asked worried.

"Tis nothing. Back to your usually business."

"It's your stomach again is it not?" Helbindi asked.

"Only when certain thoughts enter my mind."

Helbindi looked concerned. "This hasn't happened in a long time. You should rest."

Laufey sat back up. "I am fine. Continue."

Helbindi moved back to his spot but worried. That old injury was not uncommon but it had been awhile since it had been painful enough to make him double over.

Fárbauti and his friends drank their wine and talked. As they did Fárbauti looked over every few seconds as children giggles happily, and loudly, as they chased Loki who seemed to be having fun running and darting just out of their reach. Loki was full grown but the children easily stood a good three heads taller than him.

The wolf skin jumped onto a bench and did a little teasing trotting before scurrying away from the two who thought they would catch the prince only to fall over the bench and onto the snow.

Loki paused making sure they were okay before zigzag zaging away from the rest calling for them to try harder or the 'wolf' would get away. Hoping onto the fountain and doing a few flips Loki scaled high to the top as the children gathered trying to figure out how to get him.

Suddenly Fárbauti felt concerned. Since Loki had revealed that he was with child the small Jotun left it at that. Now that he thought about it Loki never rubbed his stomach nor did he act as if the child was there. It was like Loki cared nothing for the babe with all the running and jumping about. Even though his son now wore the garments from their kingdom.

However Fárbauti still wanted Loki's to wearing his lower clothing higher up rather than show off his whole stomach but that battle was quickly lost because Laufey wore them the same way. Loki also wore a sleeveless tunic that stopped at his rib cage. He admitted he could shape into a woman so they all saw best if he had something to cover up with just in case.

Soon the children awed as Loki flipped through the air and chased him again as he landed and Loki ran around the fountain two times before successfully hiding by a snow man completely still and the children gasped looking around.

"Such a grand son you got their, Fárbauti!"

"Indeed I do!" Fárbauti continued to brag.

In the middle of talking Loki jumped over Fárbauti's shoulder and his wolf fur got caught going lopsided show off Loki's back and it only took a moment for Fárbauti's friends to spot the black markings and gasped in shock. Loki didn't noticed and leaped away as the children came near.

One of his friends looked spoke horrified. "Fárbauti, those marks. .."

"Aye. As well all know when a Bera has a child they bond within three hours time." They all nodded. "When Loki returned to us we thought it would take us maybe a century to bond with my Magic but he holds healing magic. However the bond keeps lingering from being whole and those marks you see.. five miscarriages, four born children all of whom were taken from Loki. As you can tell there was no mating mark. Odin has been leading my son to believe that it was a great honor to bare a child for a peace treaty however he bore each one trying to knot with each potential mate and not knowing what he was, and than once he birth the children they took them away and since Loki had no way of coping he started doing something drastic."

"How so?" another friend asked.

"A healer checked him only last night. It seems in desperation Loki drank poison to save the child from Odin. Now... he is with child. what makes this situation worse is that my child seems to expect some sort of punishment every time he makes small mistakes. He feared us when he dropped some drink and spilled. Spilled!" Fárbauti took a large drink. "Damn that Odin for tormenting my child."

They whole table was grim. Truly Asgardians were monsters.

"Father!" Loki scrabbled up to his shoulder looking anxious.

"What is it my child?" Fárbauti asked worried.

"There is a bookkeeping store near. May we go see it?"

"Of course! Good day friends and may good will be with you."

"Good will be aslo with you! And to Price Loki. Hail the price of Jotunnhime!"

They cheered.

When Odin appeared in his court Laufey forced his face o remain impassive but his stomach was painful requesting that he leave however he had to talk to this fool.

"Is there any. Other reason you come here? Because if this is about Loki you may not have him nor the babe he carriers."

"I see you know." Odin said. "Than you know why I need the unborn child."

"Yes, I do." Hissed Laufey. "And you won't be receiving them. I can tell that you didn't read the book or perhaps you have and just don't care what happens to my son."

"The chosen sire must have the child."

Laufey looked him over. "The sire was no doubt a dark elf seeing as one came to kill my son. It did not make sense until Loki revealed he was with child."

"I have been very patience, Laufey and want them back."

"Want. You want my child back?" The pain was becoming unbearable. "For the last time I shall not return my son go you nor any Asgardian fool for all you've done is slowly torture Loki until he was close to breaking. If I had no seen his arm turn blue he would have fallen into insanity shortly after."

"You left him to die."

"I hid him so he would be safe!" Laufey yelled angrily. "And a fool charges in thinking he saved a poor abandoned Jotun babe! The fool thinks the child was left to die because he was born small! The fool would not understand that a Jotun born small is good omen and highly valued! But most of all The Fool thinks that he knows all about us Jotuns when he knows nothing."

The last part was a low growl. Helbindi could just see how hard Laufey was trying to hold his rage back and that didn't help the pain that was taking over the King's body.

Suddenly Laufey stood and walked towards Odin. "You are unworthy of being in Jotunnhime! Unworthy of calling yourself a father to my son! Unworthy of counseling with my people and I here by cast you out Jotunnhime!"

In a blindomh light Laufey summoned all his power and threw Odin into the forced open bifrost briage casting the all father out before stumble forward clutch his stomach as pain coursed it's way throughout his body.

"Bera!"

"King Laufey!"

"..." Laufey took some breathes. "I shall return to my chambers. Helbindi take over and inform me when Frabuti and Loki's return."

"I shall but first I will help you to your bed,"

Fárbauti watched Loki pull out book after book his eyes filled with excitement. It seemed that Loki shared Laufey's love of books. Smiling Fárbauti waited until Loki dragged more out until he had a nice pile large than himself.

Fárbauti paid the bookkeeper before taking the books and placing them in his hag. Loki climbed onto his shoulder and he chuckled when Loki touched his hair.

"Come now you must be hungry."

"May we see more shops after?"

"As many as you would like."

"How much do I owe you? For the books?"

Damn that Odin!

"Nothing my child! Tis a gift and anything you heart desire I shall obtain. All you need is ask."

"Father!"

Frabuti and Loki turned to see Býleistr running towards them on his beast.

"What is it?" Father asked concerned.

"You are needed back. Now."

"Details, son."

"Tis Bera's stomach once again"

"What is wrong with Bera?" Loki asked concerned.

"No time love." Fárbauti ran to his beast pit on his helmet and climbed on. Loki slide off his shoulder so he wouldn't fly off.

"Hold on Loki. Onward!"

Laufey sat at his desk reading or trying to read some documents that needed to be taken care of. Opening another one he tried to keep his mind off the pain. As always the healers came and did what they could. Closing his eyes Laufey paused when he the doors slammed open.

"Laufey!"

The King nearly jumped out of his skin. "Damn you Fárbauti! Is it not enough I am in pain and yet you charge in here giving me a heart attack!"

Running foreword Fárbauti keeled down by his mate. "I apologize. How bad is it?"

"Not as bad as earlier. Where is Loki?"

"I am here." Loki came in from the door. "What happen Here? are you well?"

"I will be soon. Fárbauti..."

Nodding Fárbauti placed his hand over Laufey's stomach and soon a light glow suddenly the pain subsided and Laufey sighed.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome love. Now than Loki can you can go find Helbindi and tell him all is well? I need to speak with your Bera."

"Yes. Uh... Bera?" Loki sad and quickly made his way closer taking off his wolf fur and setting it aside.

"Yes?"

"Can I see you without your helmet on?"

Fárbauti chuckled. "He thought we were all bald."

"No one told me!" Loki said flustered. "And why do you wear them inside?"

"It's a tradition for us. One my Father enjoyed but I got used to it and never made to change it." Laufey said and raised his hands to remove his.

Loki's eyes widened when hair black as midnight fell from the royal helmet covering Laufey's right eye. It was uncanny just where Loki got his hair from. They looked almost similar in ways and than Loki reached out and to touched a lock.

Laufey was amused. "I used to wear it down before I mated with your Father."

"Why did you stop? It looks good on you."

"That is a story for another time."

Loki than noticed the markings. When they had come to Jotunnhime after Thor's botched coronation Laufey and others had been at the ruins and the markings had been jagged like broken ice. Now that he paid more attention he noticed that his Bere's skin was smooth and flawless like his own. So, why was the skin back there so jagged?

"What were you doing at the ruins when you first saw it was me?"

"I was casting a very old spell. I do not wish to speak of it so soon."

"I understand." Loki hugged him before leaving.

Fárbauti took off his helmet and stood. "How long have you've been ignoring the pain?"

Laufey wouldn't look at him but watched Loki run off. "Not too long."

"It must have been for our sons to be worried."

Giving an annoyed sigh Laufey looked at his mate. "Do you want your kiss now or shall we continue to talk?"

"I will take my kiss."

Their lips met and Laufey was glad he distracted his mate.

"Now about your stomach,"

Damn.

"Tis nothing. Come now we must go back to court." Laufey picked up his helmet. "There is much to do."

Reaching over Fárbauti stopped him. "Let Helbindi handle it. It will give him the training he needs to someday be King. Besides you do need rest."

"Now that I am healed I can carry on." Laufey paused and leaned back suddenly amused. "So Loki did not know of out helmets? I wonder what else he knows not of."

Taking a seat beside him Fárbauti laughed. "We shall find out soon enough. Although he loves books as do you."

"Ah... tis been awhile since I was able to read."

They looked at each other for a moment before their lips connected in a soft yet powerful kiss.

Fárbauti deepen the kiss nudging for his mate to open his mouth. obligingly Laufey did as their tongues danced tasting before Fárbauti put more force into it pulling his mate closer releasing his mouth before going for the neck making his mate moan.

"You should really lock the door first!"

They both jumped away blushing darkly as Loki came back and picked up his wolf fur before leaving giggling madly for making the two most powerful Juton jump.
