Chapter 2. The News

Tony was awoken from his hot dream, by a pair of cold hands, shaking him awake. He groaned pulling the covers over him and turning away from his attacker. Until it registered that he was being attacked, he quickly jumped out of bed, rolling over to the other side. Falling hard off the bed and onto the brown carpet floor. He mumbled something under his breath untangling himself from the sheets looking over the bed at a pair of glowing green eyes "Loki...I should have known." The dark haired god batted his cunning green eyes "In all fairness I did call." Tony rolled his eyes, standing up slowly, stretching, not even caring that he was fully nude. "JARVIS lights," the bed lambs let up slowly, casting hazy shadows on every object in the room. Something about the demi-gods demeanor seemed off, he looked flushed and nervous. Tony crawled on the bed, to his night stand looking at his phone "Twenty missed calls, someone's missed me." Tony flashed one of his trade mark smiles

"What's up? It's a little late for a booty call," it was 3:30 in the morning, "Tony," the paler man shifted anxiously on the bed, Tony moved in and kissed his lover on the lips "It's okay, I'm down if you're down." Loki rolled his eyes, "It's not that," it wasn't just the poor lighting the god really looked paler "Everything okay?" Loki looked him dead in the eyes "Tony, I'm pregnant." If Tony could shit bricks, he would do so now. The feeling of shock, last longer than Loki had liked, he was feeling sick, but he didn't want to wait any longer to tell his lover. "You're what?" Loki sighed "I"m pre-" Tony stopped him "No no I heard that, my question is how. We're both dudes." Tony paused "Don't answer that," like he hasn't read the Norse myths about Loki and his children. Tony grabbed his boyfriend's hands, holding them tightly "That's great, I'm going to a father?" Loki nodded nervously "I'm going to be a father." Tony began to laugh, Loki didn't know how to take this. It was always hard to tell when the playboy was joking or being serious, his stomach knotted "You're not mad" Loki choked out.

"Mad? Hell no, I'm gonna by a daddy. Cool stuff." Loki nodded, sweat forming at his brow "Loki, you okay." Loki nodded again "I'm glad-" was all Loki could manage before retching all over the bed.

Loki had stayed the night this time and was sleeping peacefully when Tony woke. He thought last night was a dream, but the dirtied sheets on the floor and the sleeping god next to him burst that bubble. Tony exhaled, and slipped slowly out of bed.

Everyone was in the kitchen this morning, it was just Tony's luck. He really needed a stiff drink and some peace and quiet, but with group back that was not an option. Tony stopped dead in his tracks, just feet away from the kitchen. Thor, he and Loki had never even told the blonde haired god they were dating. Actually they hadn't told anyone, not even Pepper. For the first time in the playboy's life he felted completely screwed.

The group weren't together long before everyone was sent out on missions again. Clint had been sent to Paris, Natasha to Alaska, and Steve had to speak at a convention in Tokyo. Clint rubbed his brow, looking through his telescope. He was in a small inn with a view of one of the busiest streets in the city of love. He chomped down on some good out fashion veggies and noddle's before taking a seat by the window. -buzz- He pulled out his phone

Text from Nat

...

Yo, Natasha, how's AK?

Cold, Clint I got some news, I'm pregnant

Clint choked on his noddle's, the bowl falling to the floor. He texted back.

Are you sure?

Several minutes passed before he received an answer. -buzz- He got a picture message. He opened it, Natasha was in a small tacky looking bathroom holding a pregnancy test, with a big blue 'yes' displaying on the little screen. "Holy shit-" He texted back quickly, a whole world wind of emotions spiraling through his head.

Is it mine.

Who else would it be

Nice.

=) See you a few days oxox

The archer was glad that the walls were pretty much sound proof, because he was losing his shit in the room. "YES! YES! YES! GONNA BE A DAD!" He humped the air and ran around the room.

Tony was still thinking about a way to break the news to Thor and the group. He had tried to talk it over with Loki, but he would change the subject right away. He didn't think the god was ready to tell his brother, but it wasn't like they could keep it a secret forever. They've been dating for almost a year; it was time to tell and Tony hating sneaking around. Tony Stark did not hide. "Hey JARVIS, what's everyone's schedule looking like for next week"

"Any particular days you are interested in sir?" Tony, pulled up his planner "Noooot really, what days do everyone have off together." JARVIS loaded a schedule onto Tony's screen "Each member of the team will be present at the tower Wednesday and Friday of next week." Tony glanced at his planner again "Alright, set up a dinner at 6pm Friday, don't care where, somewhere classy five star. Somewhere new."

"Yes sir." Tony stared at his phone, sending a text to Loki.

Thor was on video chat when he received his invention to dinner next Friday. Jane looked at the screen, curious as to what the beeping noise was. "What's that?" Thor held up the phone, before trying to unlock it. "Thor, slide your thumb."

"Ah, Thanks Jane," He read the message "I have been invited to dinner, with Tony and the Avengers next Friday!" he beamed, showing her the phone, but she couldn't read the message

She smiled brightly "That's great, what the occasion?"

Thor scanned the message "None are listed"

"It's probably a surprise then." She adjusted herself in her chair "Hey, I'll be off for a few days next week. I was thinking about stopping by."

Thor beamed, smiling ear to ear "That is wonderful news, I will show you around the grand city of New York and we will go to central park, have hot dogs from the moving hot dog stands-"

He would have probably gone on forever if Jane hadn't stopped him, "Thor, Thor that sounds great and maybe while we're there we can shop for baby clothes."

"Infant clothes? Who do you know that is with child, is it Darcy? Congrad-"

She stopped him again "No no no, silly. Not Darcy, someone else very close to you." Thor actually looked around the room, which made Jane break out in laughter "No, not literally close to you, someone dear to you, close to your heart." She thought she had dropped enough hints

"Loki?"

This time Jane laughed so hard she had almost fell out of her chair "Oh my gosh Thor, no, not Loki, try again." she said between giggles

"Jane, I cannot think of anyone else who may be caring-" like a bolt of lighten it hit him "Jane! Jane, congratulations on your pregnancy-" the wheels were still turning in his mind. If Jane was pregnant then that meant.

Somewhere in the tower bricks were being shat as a huge bolt of lighten followed by ear cracking thunder erupted through the city.

"JANE, AM I TO BE A FATHER!"

"Yes Thor," she thought she heard the sound of thunder for a second there

"THIS IS A MOST WONDERFUL DAY! I MUST INFORM MY FAMILY AT ONCE! Though it will take me some time to find Loki, I will tell him too. Then the Avengers." Thor paused "JANE WE MUST MARRY, AT ONCE BEFORE THE CHILD IS BORN."

Jane couldn't help but laugh at his antics "Of course." she was glad Thor was taking the news well, they had only be dating for roughly a year and she had hoped that it was not too soon to settle down. "We will tell everyone when I come into town; I'll see you this Tuesday then. I love you Thor."

Thor bowed "As I Jane." and ended the video chat.
