CHAPTER 19

When the sky began to lighten Thor and Loki pulled their wives away from the feast. As soon as they bid each other good night or morning and Thor and Jane walked to their chamber, Loki picked up his wife bridal style and carried her to their chamber.

"Loki!" Darcy giggled as she felt her legs leave the floor.

As soon as they entered the room he placed her on the bed and stood back. "Do you have any idea how much I love you?" he asked her.

She simply nodded. "I love you too, Loki. So very much."

She went to sit up but found that she was not able toas he had placed a small restrictive spell on her to keep her where she was. Her head whipped up to see her husband standing at the end of the bed with a smirk plastered on his handsome face. "No, my dear. You are to remain on your back until I say otherwise," he said.

She laid back and waited to see what her husband would do.

He waved his hand and she found herself bare yet she wasn't the only one. He had removed his covering as well and stood before her proud and tall and in his Jotun form.

"Do you know what I want to do to you my love?" he asked as he climbed onto the bed beside her.

She shook her head no and waited. She didn't have to wait long for she felt him reach out for her within moments of her answer.

He bestowed upon her a sweet kiss before trailing his hands down her bared flesh until his hand was sitting right above her womb. "They are strong, my love," he whispered softly.

"I can't wait to find out what their genders will be. I know that it is too early to tell but I wish I knew," she said placing her had upon his.

"Oh, but I can tell."

"What? But it's far too soon to know!"

"You forget, my love, I can feel them within you. I know what they are already."

"So?"

"Sons," he said with awe in his voice. "One is like you and the other like me."

"So one is Elven the other a Frost Giant?" she asked.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying," he told her gently.

"Loki! Do you know what this means?"

"Yes, my darling, I do know what that means. It means that you are not only giving me one heir but two. One for Asgard and one for Jotunheim."

She smiled, knowing that she had gotten him to agree to give the Frost Giants an heir. The fact that they would not have to wait to give them their leader made her very happy.

"Loki, does this mean that you have accepted this part of yourself?" she asked touching his face with her free hand.

"Yes, I have. Thanks to you, my soon to be queen," he replied kissing her wrist softly.

"I still can't believe you are going to be king soon Loki."

"I can't believe it either. But I would have been king either way."

"What do you mean by that?"

'Well, my dear, you were your father's heir were you not?"

She nodded and he continued, "That would make you Queen of Alfheim and I as your husband would have been king is that not so?" again she nodded.

She turned then onto her side facing him. "I just don't know if I would make a good queen Loki. I mean I have been away from court a long time," she told him hesitantly.

"Then spend all the time you need with my mother. She will teach you everything you will need to know," he suggested quietly.

"Now enough small talk," he said taking her lips in a passion filled kiss which she returned passionately.

Releasing her lips, he spoke softly against her quivering lips, "We are going to take this nice and slow, my love," then he began to trail his down the side of her neck until he reached his mark; her mating mark; the symbol that marked her as his. There he placed a soft, light, kiss to it, knowing what it would do to her as he did. Sure enough, Darcy arched as fire and ice raced through her at the light touch upon her neck. She had never felt anything like it before and was sure she would never feel its equal again.

She barely was able to make out his name before his lips were once again on hers. His hands caressing every inch of her pale skin as hers caressed his raised blue flesh. She never would have guessed that he would have accepted his other side of himself and yet now she was glad that he had. She wanted nothing more than for him to love her in this form for the rest of her long life.

He rolled their bodies until she was fully beneath him before very slowly and intimately joining them together. He kept their rhythm slow and steady wanting to draw out their time together. No words passed either of their lips as they reached their peak together.

He pulled his wife, his mate and soon to be queen into his arms as she fell into an exhausted slumber. "I love you," he whispered against her temple before he, too, fell into slumber.

Thor pulled Jane into their now shared chamber, kissing her with all the passion he could muster. He wanted her desperately but she seemed far away, like her mind was elsewhere.

"Jane? What is wrong?" he finally asked her.

"There is something I need to tell you and I have been trying to figure out the best way to say this….," she began,

"Dear heart, you know you can tell me anything. So what is it? I promise I will not be angry with you."

"Thor do you remember when I volunteered to go get Fury a week ago?"

He nodded and she continued, "And do you remember what Loki said to me then?"

"Yes, I remember. Though, at the time, I was a bit confused as to why he said you couldn't go and your reaction to what he said," he told her.

"Well, he was telling me that I couldn't travel the Bifrost for a while…..and by that I mean for the next nine months…..Thor I am going to have a baby," she finally managed to get out.

He stood looking at her for a full minute before a huge grin appeared on his face. He then pulled her against him and kissed her. "Jane, truly?"

"Yes!" she laughed softly though gaily.

"But how?"

"Loki sensed it through Darcy. As you know she is his mate and as they now share a bond he can sense certain things about her and through her, me as well since she is my twin," she explained.

"Well from what we now know about the Bifrost I am glad he was able to sense this about you, for I know you would not want to go through that again."

"Do you have any idea how much I love you Jarissa?" he added after a moment of silence between them.

"I have a pretty good idea but why don't you just show me?" she returned breathlessly.

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, he had picked her up and placed her on their bed and proceeded to show her exactly how much he loved her.
