Kali couldn't believe it, no matter how many times Natasha confirmed it for her. The walk home was a long one, her mind was running far too fast.

She entered the penthouse, finding Thor on the couch, shirtless, watching the television.

"Hey," he stood up, walking over to her. "Are you feeling alright? Tony said you would be fine, but you looked rather flush. Are you sick? Is that what they told you?"

She walked right past him, plopping down onto the couch. "No." she said flattly. He walked back over, sitting down next to her.

"Then what is wrong?" he looked so concerned, but she really didn't think he could handle what she was about to say.

"I'm, uh.. I'm pregnant, Thor."

And she was right. He hit the ground with a loud thud!

He was out for only a few seconds, but she had never before seen him so pale before.

"Are you okay?" she asked him, worried he had hurt his head.

He nodded brushing his hair back with his hand. "I am fine." he stood up, walking around in a few circles. "Are you fine? Are you sure you are pregnant?"

Kali sighed, nodding. "What do we do?"

"We obviously bare an heir to the Asgardian throne." he was dead serious. "This child will be half Asgardian, the first son-"

"Or daughter."

"Or daughter, of Thor." he looked at her noticing her glowing skin. "You look so beautiful." he told her. "How do you feel?"

Shr shrugged. "I do not know. Different. I never thought I'd have children, let alone an Asgardian child. What does this mean for us?"

He looked at her, grabbing her hands. "You will return to Asgard with me. This is why they don't want you." he pointed to her stomach. "Your energy is seperated, they can not have it, at least not for quite a few months. Come to Asgard with me, and we will take the throne." he was dead serious, and she couldn't believe it. It was like he had spent the entire day smoking crack.

"I'm not sure-"

"Shh." he pressed his finger to her lips. "Let us go." he held his hand out, his hammer slapping it and the two disappearing.

It was the middle of the day is Asgard, everyone tending to their usual days of work. The couple returned with a crash of Thunder, arriving to smiles.

"You're back!" one cheered, greeting the prince.

"It is so nice to see you." a servant bowed to him as they walked. He needed to see his father, Odin. They had so much to discuss.

Kali followed close to him, walking through the large golden castle, looking at all the warriors and Gods, all the golden statues. Finally, they arrived in the throne room where Odin was seated.

"Father," he bowed down to one knee, requesting permission to approach. Kali did the same, but both knees. She was not Asgardian, but she was part of royality and one point and knew how things worked. "I have returned."

Odin stood up, turning around. "I see you have brought a guest with you." He motioned them to stand up. Kali knew to never make eye contact with a Kind unless spoken to or told to speak. She kept her head down, out of respect. Thor approached his father, Odin bring him in for a hug.

"I apologize for being absent so long." he told him. Odin nodded, accepting. "And she it not a friend. Father, I request to you she become my wife." Odin was taken back, looking at his son like he was absolutely crazy.

Odin approached the girl, looking her over. "You are not Asgardian.." He turned to his son, disgusted. "I smell mortal and Svartalfheim on her. Why did you bring her here?" he asked, walking away and returning to his throne.

Thor looked to Kali, and back to his father. "She is with child, father. My child.." Odins face turned red, but he calmed himself, seeing Thor has more to say. "The Dark Elves high council wants her, they want her power. I have been gone all this time trying to protect her."

"Well, I see you have been doing much more than protecting her." he laughed at him. He was supposed to marry an Asgardian woman, who he would have Asgardian children with. Odin sighed, standing up. "Though you disobeyed every thing I ever had planned for you," he turned to Kali, who was still looking at the ground. "She is carrying the first son-"

"Or daughter." Thor interjected. Odin looked at him, silence falling.

"The first child of Thor, and I cannot shun that. Is this truly what you want? To take this woman as your wife, as your queen? The women to birth your heir, and future heirs?"

Thor nodded to his father, completely sure. He knew one thing, and that was that he loved this girl.

"Come here, girl." Odin demanded. Kali walked up to him, her head down. "What is your name?" he asked as she approached.

"Kilani." she responded, finally making eye contact with him.

"Are you sure you want to be the queen, alongside my son? Kilani Odinson?" Kali took a sharp breath, nodding. She didn't know what it was, but this is where she was supposed to be. This moment, this place, this man and his child. This is how things were supposed to happen.

Odin looked at the two of them. "I grant you my blessings. We shall hold your ceremony of unity in two nights, and you shall take the throne. Get some rest. You will both need it."

Thor and Kali nodded, leaving the chamber. They returned to Thors chambers, where the two had first met.

Kali sighed, sitting down. She was starving.

"Can we get some food?" she asked, her stoamch growling. Thor nodded, exiting the room to go to the kitche. He returned with some sort of pie with meat and vegetables. The two sat and ate, talking about everything.

"Are you sure this is what you want? To be with me, forever?"

Thor laughed at her silly question. "Of course. A king does not say things just because, he says things out of love and truth. I am more than excited for you to be my queen and to bare my heir."

Kali smiled at him. She wanted to be ready for all of this, but she wasn't so sure she could be. She wasn't sure this is what she wanted, or if it was the right decision. She just didn't knw anything. And she needed the time to think about that.

She stood up, pushing away from the table. She rememered the garden outside of his room, from their first meeting.

"I, uh.. I need some air." and she walked fast across the room and out the door. Thor looked to her, and back to his plate, continuing to eat, though his appetite was gone. He had the strongest feelings for this woman; he loved her. And the fact that he was getting the chance to have a child with her, and marry her. It was exciting and great to him. He just wasn't so sure she felt the same way at all.

She just needed some time.

Sorry this chapter was so short, but I needed to just throw it in. A lot is going to be happening, once I have some time. Novie will be going to stay with her grandparents for the first weekend ever, so I'm nervous, but excited to have time for myself. Being a parent is fucking awesome, I've never loved something so much before.
