Chapter 5 Details

The details for the wedding were all sorted out, Jane and Thor were to be wed at the end of the month on Midgard. There would be a larger wedding in Asgard a year after the baby was born. Thor had been given the king and queen's blessings and that was all that mattered.

Loki on the other hand had yet to tell his adoptive parents of his new arrival. In the past his parents had seemed less than happy with his past pregnancies. Personally he would have lived his whole life happily without telling his parents. "Loki!" Thor burst through the room Tony had given him for private time, something Thor never seemed to grasp the idea of "Why have you not told mother and father of your condition."

Loki rolled his eyes, why didn't he use his magic to lock the door "Could it be, that perhaps I am not ready." Loki could not say that he was unhappy to hear of the news that Thor was expecting but felt a little hurt that his own pregnancy would be overshadowed by his.

"Loki, mother and father will be overjoyed with the news." Thor stood in front of his brother

Loki didn't even look up from his book "I'm sure."

"Loki," Thor looked hurt, he didn't want a repeat of the last hundred years "Loki, stop this, I will not have your wonderful news casted to the side, the court will be happy to know that their second prince is engaged in courtship with a guardian of Midgard worthy to fight beside the gods."

"Oh," Loki scoffed, yes this is the thing that redeems the fallen prince, at leasst his choice in partners was sound

"Loki, don't you know that this is the most joyous time." he walked closer to his adopted brother "It should be shared with your family and all those who care about you."

The smaller god tossed his book to the side, he would gain nothing from the text between bickering "Oh, have you not forgotten about my last four children? Was the court happy then? Even after I sacrificed my body for that stupid wall were they happy then? Were they not shouting to the heavens in rejoice as one by one, my children fell! Were they not!" there was so much sting in his voice, it hurt Thor, but he was right. Thor had remembered what happened to all of Loki's children, the pain of one losing a child never faded.

"Loki," Thor was brought to the brim of tears as he looked at his frustrated brother. He did not want his brother to suffer, to be forgotten, treated as second best, but he also knew that he had to learn to let the younger god make his own decisions. "Ok, when you are ready. I will push the subject no further." Loki was taken back by this, Thor embraced his brother as he wept quietly in the other's arms.

Natasha was in no mood for arguing this morning, haven been awaken by her ever changing body. She flushed the toilet, kicking over the trashcan in the bathroom. "Damn it Clint!" he was never there, she had only gotten to see him a few times this month and the stress from sheer boredom was really getting to her. She dressed and walked to the weight room, hoping it would be empty. She was in luck. She lifted fifty pounds on each arm, did twenty lounges, and rounded the small track thirty-five times. "Shouldn't you be somewhere right now?" she turned around half expecting Tony or Steve, but was surprised when she saw Clint standing in the door frame.

"Clint?" she wiped the sweat off her face, even at three months, she looked stunning "What are you doing back so soon," she picked up her water bottle, took a sip stopping just a foot away from the assassin

"I missed you" he kissed her gently on the lips, he really did miss her, it had been too long and Fury had him running around like a lab rat. He was thankful that most of his missions had been in the US. He deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around her small waist. She moaned into the kiss, she'd missed him too. "Fuck, that's right! My ultra-sound!" Clint jiggled his keys "It's ok, I got your back."

Loki and Tony had been waiting in the doctor's office for what seemed like hours. It was hard finding a place that catered to Loki's unique condition, but they lived in New York the city of diversity. Luckily for the young couple SHEILD had a mountain of doctors, even ones specifically trained to handle 'special' conditions such as these. "Mr. Laufeyson, Mr. Stark the doctor will see you now." The receptionist held open the door and led them down the hall, into a small lightly decorated room. It was cozy for a patient's room with one window with white blinds and sea foam green currents with little shrimps. There was a medium sized water colored painting of a few kids at the beach on the wall, plus the usual patient bed, counter, and chair.

The two entered the room, Loki undressed and propped himself up on the waiting table. They had been here before but only twice and each time was very brief. The door opened a tall tanned white male stepped through the door. He was wearing an off white dress shirt, light green-blue scrub pants, a white lab coat, and a tie with little cartoon lobsters on it. "How are we doing?" Dr. Joy glanced at the chart, after closing the door behind him.

"No problems," Loki said shyly

"Good, Good." the doctor motioned for him to lay back and he put on his gloves "Everything looks good down there, would you like to do an ultra sound today?"

Loki looked at Tony "Yeah, yeah sure." he looked back a Loki

The doctored smiled "Great, I always love doing those." and prepared the equipment

"Will we know the sex?" Tony asked

"Not yet, but in about two months we should be able to have a look." he spread the clear gel on Loki's stomach and turned on the machine. "There's the little guy." The couple had never been so happy in their entire life.

Natasha and Clint barely made it to the SHEILD appointed OB-GYN. It was the same place Loki and Tony went, but a different doctor. "Yawl barely made it," Dr. Lee-Jackson joked holding the door for them. Natasha hopped up on the table. Dr. Lee-Jackson was a short African American woman, who wore glasses that were a little bit too big for her face, she had a great temper and was extremely nice. "Now, you're having the ultra sound today am I correct?" the two nodded "Alrighty!" The two looked at the little black screen at their little miracle. Natasha caught a tear, as she heard the steady beat of her baby's heart.

Jane stretched her legs on the long cushy table, never in her life had she thought a patient's bed could be so comfortable. Thor stood beside her, rubbing her knee lightly. He was nervous, not just afraid of this 'ultrasound'. The idea of viewing his unborn child from the womb sounded like magic to him and his experiences with magic had never been all that pleasant. Jane placed her hands on top of his "It'll be alright."

The doctor walked in, chart in hand "Good evening," he was a friendly doctor, with smile as wide as the bald spot on top of his head. "You're having your first ultra sound today." Dr. Jeffreys looked at Thor "Don't worry it's a harmless procedure." he patted the god on his back. Jane laid back, watching the doctor squeezed the clear gel on her stomach, she giggle a little because it was cold. He turned on the machine and he was shocked at what he saw. "Wow, just wow." Now Jane looked more worried than Thor "Congratulations, it's twins."

Jane beamed, wiggled her legs side to side in excitement "Oooo Twins Thor, Thor isn't that exciting!"

"Tw-twins" if the god ever felt like fainting now would be the time -thud-

"Thor? Thor?" She peered over the table, furrowing her brow

Dr. Jeffreys laughed, calling in a nurse "Don't worry it happens all the time!"

Thor and Jane were wed at the end of the month. Darcy was the maid of honor and Loki, through some convincing on Thor's part, was the best man. The ceremony took place in a small park just outside the city and it was truly lovely, friends gathered and it was a good time to be had. Loki caught the bouquet and Tony wasn't at all against the idea of marrying Loki.

Fun chapter! Lots of doctors with the letter 'J' in their names weird. Thor and Jane with twins O.O lets see how they handle this. Stay tuned!
