"Where is she?! It's almost midnight!" Loki growled as he angrily glared out of the window to the newly-built house that he now shared with Valkyrie, Fenris and Hela. After quite a few months, Thor had finally managed to completely rebuild Asgard with the help of Korg and Bruce. Now the people of Asgard no longer needed to live on the stolen, Sakkar ship. However, Loki was far from pleased at the moment since Valkyrie had been gone from their new home for almost the entire day with the claim that she was 'going fishing.'

"Relax, Loki; I'm sure she'll be home any minute now..." Thor reassured since Loki had invited him, Bruce and Korg over for moral support.

"She's prob'ly down there gettin' drunk..." Korg whispered to Bruce and Thor with a slight snicker.

"I'm sorry but did you have something to say, Korg?!" Loki then snapped at the rock monster, causing both of his new friends as well as his brother to flinch slightly. Before Thor could tell him to calm down again, Loki suddenly hissed lightly in pain before clutching his stomach.

"Are you alright?" Thor questioned in concern.

"I'm fine! I just want to go to sleep and I can't because I can't lock the door with Valkyrie still who knows where, doing who knows what with who knows who!" Loki snapped, in denial of his own health. It had become clear at this point that Loki suspected that Valkyrie may have been cheating on him.

"Loki...Do you think Valkyrie is cheating on you? Because I assure you that a Valkyrie would never do anything so dishonorable..." Thor attempted to reassure his angry, pregnant, little brother.

"Yet she'll get drunk..." Korg muttered beneath his breath with a small smirk. Just as Loki was prepared to yell at them again, Valkyrie had finally returned home with the fishing pole that she had found on the Grand Master's ship in hand. She was of course drunk as Korg had previously predicted as she staggered through the door. Attached to the string of her fishing pole, dripping water all over the floor of their living-room was a large, snapping turtle.

"Where in the bloody, Nine Realms have you been, Valkyrie?! Do you have any idea what time it is?! Do you have any idea how worried I was?! I am trying to get ready to go to sleep and you bring that bloody turtle in here?!" Loki immediately began to yell at Valkyrie, almost the very minute she had entered the house. Before Valkyrie could even have the chance to yell back at Loki, her drunken, angered face soon twisted into a look of concern when Loki had suddenly hissed in pain all the while doubling over dramatically as he clutched his stomach once again.

"Are you okay?" She slurred. She may have been drunk, Loki may have been yelling at her but he was still her husband.

"I'm fine! It's probably just all the stretching...I don't think my body could stretch any further-THOR! WILL YOU PLEASE STOP BREATHING DOWN MY NECK?!" Loki suddenly snapped in the midst of his explanation despite the fact that Thor was standing a good, few feet away from him.

"Does your stomach hurt?" Valkyrie then questioned as she gently bgan to rub Loki's stomach.

"Valkyrie..." Loki began with a blush of embarrassment.

"His stomach does seem to have gotten bigger..." Thor then joined in on Valkyrie's rubbing.

"Let me see!" Hela then joined in on the rubbing as well. Seeing three, different people rub an irritated-Loki's enlarged stomach immediately caused Korg to burst into an uproar of laughter.

"Alright! Well, now that Valkyrie's home, I am going to bed..." Loki huffed once he had broken free from his family's concerned rubbing before angrily storming off to the new bedroom that he shared with Valkyrie.

"Loki..." Valkyrie sighed as she followed Loki into their bedroom. She may have been drunk but she was quickly able to tell that she had seriously upset her husband this time. Valkyrie felt a sense of guilt that was only slightly numbed by her massive alcohol intake wash one her when she heard the sound of Loki's soft sobs emitting from beneath the obvious lump in the covers.

"Loki, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to upset you..." Valkyrie apologized as she took a seat on the bed next to the trembling mass of covers.

"I-I...I was so worried about you...I thought you were never coming back..." Loki whimpered softly.

"Loki, I love you, we're married, we're going to have a family soon...Why would I ever leave you?" Valkyrie softly pointed out.

"I-I'm not as physically attractive as I used to be, Valkyrie...I-I'm f-f-fat!" Loki sobbed dramatically as he finally emerged from beneath the covers.

"Loki, I don't care what you look like...I love you and I will always love you...I would never leave you for anyone or anything else..." Valkyrie reassured as she pulled her sobbing, pregnant husband into a gentle hug.

"I-I love you so much, Valkyrie..." Loki sobbed as Valkyrie gently gestured her husband to lay down with her.

"I know...I know...I love you too...Let's get some sleep, okay?" Valkyrie whispered softly as she lovingly began to stroke Loki's black, silky hair.

"Okay..." Loki agreed with a tired yawn before closing his eyes to go to sleep. Valkyrie pulled Loki a bit closer to her before closing her eyes to go to sleep as well. Later into the night, Valkyrie was awoken by a warm, wet feeling on her back.

"What the-?!" Valkyrie gasped before immediately hopping up from the bed that she shared with Loki.

"Valkyrie, I'm sorry! I am so sorry!" Loki frantically began to apologize, his face beginning to redden from humiliation as he did so.

"Why? What happened? did you spill something?" Valkyrie questioned.

"N-No...I think I accidentally peed..." Loki shyly explained as he was currently unable to make eye-contact with his wife.

"Loki, it's okay...You're pregnant, that's going to happen from time to time..." Valkyrie reassured as she attempted to hide her own blush of arousal.

"I'm still so ashamed...I didn't even feel anything when it happened..." Loki sighed.

"Wait? You didn't?" Valkyrie instantly became alarmed at this revelation as she took a whiff of her wet hand.

"It doesn't smell like pee..." Valkyrie noted that the liquid that had just come out of her husband had absolutely no scent.

"I wonder what that means..." Loki questioned, fearing that he may have contracted some, sort-of, Space-age, bladder infection.

"Loki, I think your water just broke..." Valkyrie was quickly able to figure out what had just happened to Loki when she had remembered the contractions that he had been suffering from earlier.

"You mean...I'm going to give birth soon?!" Loki gasped, his green eyes wide with fear. His body was not ready for this.
