…Chapter Fifteen…

Two weeks had passed and so far, even though there was no threat from Loki or his army, Fury still wanted everyone on their guard anyway, but Samantha thought that it was a waste of time when there's other things going on in the world, and she would just ignore it and go on about her business, hanging out with Steve every chance she could, both of them growing more and more closer to each other.

It was a little after one pm on the day of Samantha's 'welcome home' party and as she was on the verge of sleep, there was a knock on the door. "Oh, noooo… what?" she mumbled loudly and heard the door open, then shut. "Ugh." she groaned, lifting her head up. "It's my nap time, Tony."

"Yeah, I know." he chuckled. "I wanna show you something."

"What is it?"

"No." he shook his head. "Not here." he held out his hand. "Come, so I can show you."

Samantha took it and Tony helped her out of the bed. "This better be good."

"It is…"

Samantha saw the weird look on his face. "So, what is it?"

Tony stared at her a few seconds before he responded and threw his hands up in the air. "Okay, okay, you got me… it's the cake I ordered for your party tonight. You gotta see it."

"Ooh, yeah." she laughed, putting on her flip flops. "I'll definitely get up for cake."

"I knew you would, Mama." Tony chuckled. "Follow me." then both of them walked out of her room and got into the elevator. Tony raised his eyebrow, seeing Samantha in the corner with her eyes closed. "You doing okay over there?" he asked, as he pressed the button to go up.

"Not really." she shook her head. "I have this silly thing with elevators."

"Do you need me to do anything?" she nodded, then quickly got into his arms and hugged him tight. "Alright." he put his arms around her. "If it helps."

"It does." she nodded into his chest.

After the elevator finally stopped and the doors opened, Tony let go of Samantha. "It's this way." then both of them walked out.

"What…" she looked around. "Wait… what floor is this?"

"A secret one." Tony lead her through a door and inside looked like the command room downstairs.

"Okay, why exactly are we here?"

"Have a seat." Tony offered, then snapped his fingers. "Wake up, Daddy's home."

"Good afternoon, Sir." Jarvis said, out loud. "I was wondering when you were coming back."

"Yeah, I brought Sam, and I want you to pull up what I asked you to do."

"Hello, Miss Samantha."

"Hey, Jarvis." she said, then looked at Tony. "Why are we here?" she looked around. "And more importantly… where is my cake?"

"Ah, yes, the cake." he chuckled, sitting down next to her. "I only said that because I didn't want them to know the real reason why I wanted to talk to you."

Samantha raised her eyebrow. "Them?"

"You know Fury." Tony shrugged. "Jarvis found some bugs hidden in a few of the rooms and it's been that way since they moved into my building for their headquarters. Up here, in my secret room, no bugs. Only Jarvis."

"Well, that's good." she breathed out, then held her side suddenly.

Before Tony could open his mouth to speak, he saw the weird look on her face and raised his eyebrow. "Are you okay?"

Samantha took a deep breath, letting go and nodded. "Yeah." there was a long pause. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." she waved her hand. "I'm okay. No worries."

Tony stared at her a couple seconds, then clapped his hands. "The real reason why asked you here… Jarvis, pull it up.

"Yes, Sir."

"Okay, first - I appointed myself - your child's godfather."

"Oh, really?" she chuckled, crossing her arms.

"Yes, really, so with that in mind." he pointed to the screen. "I started a little trust fund for him or her."

Samantha's eyes widened at the amount. "A little? Tony, that's way too much. I can't take that."

"You can and you will." he smiled. "It's fine, trust me."

"Are you sure? Because that's a hell of a lot for one kid."

Tony turned to Samantha and grabbed her shoulders, looking into her eyes. "I said that it's fine. Don't worry about the amount. That's chump change for me." he winked, letting her go. "Okay?"

Samantha stared at him a few seconds before she nodded. "Okay, thank you."

"You're very welcome."

"Well, I greatly appreciate what you're doing for the baby and everything, but you still owe me some cake."

Now, Tony stared at her for a few seconds, then he laughed out loud. "Wow! I wouldn't want to be the one to come in between a pregnant woman and cake."

"That is a wise choice, Sir." Jarvis added, making Samantha laugh.

...

Later on that night, Samantha got ready for her party and after she put the finishing touches on her hair and make up, there was a knock on the door. She smiled and walked over to open it, then her smile got even bigger. "Steve…" he was wearing dark blue jeans, a long sleeved button up shirt with a white shirt underneath, and white Nikes. "Whoa… wait." she chuckled. "Who dressed you?"

"Why? What's wrong with it?"

"Oh, nothing." she slightly shook her head. "It's just a little different for you, especially someone from the 1940's."

"Yeah, Tony thought I should wear this, since we are in the 21st century." he shrugged. "Eh, I'll get used to it."

"You look good." she nodded. "Keep dressing like that and you'll get all the ladies."

"No." he grabbed both of her hands. "There's only one lady I have my eyes on." Samantha blushed, making Steve chuckle. "Anyway." he looked at her from head to toe, taking in what she was wearing. She had on a blue and black spaghetti strap dress that rested an inch above her knees with black heels, but what stood out the most, was the way the dress showed her baby bump. "You look… beautiful."

"Thank you." she smiled.

"Ready to go?" he asked, holding out his arm, and she nodded, linking her arm with his, then they went over to the elevator.

...

It was dark in the room, except for the little night light that was shining in the corner. Right after Loki let Samantha go, he went back to New Mexico, and he's been there for the past two weeks sitting in that same chair, in the same room that him and Samantha once shared, and remembering all the times they had together.

He missed her so much and knowing that she was carrying his child, made it that much harder to function. Loki hated every fiber of his being for hurting Samantha the way he did, and as much as it killed him inside, he had to let her go then, so he couldn't hurt her anymore.

But after a little more thinking, he decided that he needed to see her, because he couldn't take the all loneliness or missing her any longer, so he got up from the chair, and went to go find her.

...

Samantha's party had been in full swing for the past hour. Tony had it all catered with food, snacks, lots of fresh fruit, and lots of different drinks. There was a DJ with a dance floor and everyone was having a good time and having fun.

Steve was over by the drinks when he saw Samantha at the table with a hand on her stomach, making a weird face, so he grabbed her some water, and went up to her. "Hey, Sammy." he sat down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine… I just feel a little weird."

"What?" Steve scooted closer to her, in a panic. "Are you in pain? Is it the baby?"

"No, no, no." she put her hand on his face. "The baby's fine. It's just that everything is so overwhelming, but we're okay." she smiled, dropping her hand in her lap. "Relax."

Steve let out a breath of relief. "I was just checking. You know I care a lot about you."

"I know you do." she nodded.

Seconds later, Tony walked up to them with his scotch in hand. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, Tony." Samantha nodded. "Everything is fine."

"Good." he took a sip. "Because the cake I promised you, is on the way here."

"Ooh, finally." she playfully rolled her eyes and stood up. "But first - I need a potty break, and second - I need a little fresh air, and they I'll be ready to stuff my face with the cake."

"Alright, Mama." Tony chuckled.

Samantha gave Steve a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be right back."

"Okay, I'll be here." he nodded.

"Hey, Where's my kiss?"

"Oh, Tony." Samantha laughed, smacking his chest, then she went to the bathrooms. After she was finished, she went up to the balcony to get some fresh air, to calm her nerves, letting the cool breeze hit her.

"Samantha." she heard to her left, immediately recognizing that specific voice. She snapped her head over and her eyes widened, then she tried to speak, but nothing would come out as Loki slowly walked up to her with a slight smile on his face. "You look absolutely beautiful."

"What… what are you doing here? I thought you were going back to Asgard?"

"No." he shook his head. "I had to see you."

"Oh." she slightly nodded. "So… where'd you go?"

Loki took a few more steps closer and grabbed her hand. "To New Mexico, in our hotel room." he suddenly glanced down at her stomach. "How is the baby?"

"It's doing fine, though I'm not sure what it is yet, but I'll be finding out at my doctors appointment tomorrow."

"I see." Loki took a deep breath and locked eyes with hers. "Samantha, I'm deeply and truly sorry for hurting you."

"I know." she nodded. "You told me and I forgave you."

"I just wanted to say it again, because I promise that I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. I can't take it no more. I feel like I am nothing without you… I, I need you."

As Loki was about to lean in and kiss her on her lips, he suddenly got knocked to the ground, and Samantha was being held with two pairs of arms. "Did we ruin your moment?"

Loki quickly got up, seeing two Chitauri holding holding her in place with a hand over her mouth, and glared at the Other. "Let her go, she has nothing to do with this."

"Oh, that is where you are wrong." the Other chuckled. "She has everything to do with this."

Samantha kept trying to wiggle free and she bit the Chitauri's finger, making him scream in pain. "Loki!" she yelled.

The Other reached over and back handed Samantha on her face, hard enough to make her unconscious. Loki was about lunge at them, but the Other put up his finger. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Let. Her. Go." Loki seethed through his teeth,

"I cannot do that, she too valuable now. Either you follow through with the plan or the mortal you love will be dead."

"NO!"

As Loki was about to rush him, the Other hit him with a big ball of light, making him fly twelve feet away, knocking him out. "Pathetic." the Other laughed, then looked at the Chitauri. "Let's go. I have plans for this one." then within seconds, they vanished.
