She had been granted leave and she knew what she had to do. Mathew hadn't told any one about her pregnancy yet. She knew it would only be a matter of time though before he had to tell them. She knew what SHIELD would do to her and her baby when they found out who the father was. The panic had already set into her bones, she started to pack her stuff, she was going on leave and was not planning to come back. She was already wearing baggier clothing to hide any chance of any one seeing the only small bump that was growing. She was actually happy she had worked out so much as her abdominal muscles were still only just holding back the over 4 month baby bump that was forming. There was a noticeable bump there now that the majority of people would know was a pregnancy bump.

She pulled out the number of fake and blank passports she had in her possession. She wanted to leave something for her brother to let him know she was ok but it would increase the chance of her plan failing. Knowing that she needed to go into hiding and wait till the child was born would be the only way to be certain of the safety of this baby. Maybe and it was only a big maybe would she then be able to contact Clint to let him know she was fine. She knew how much this would hurt Clint that she had run from SHIELD and him but it had to be done.

She was just throwing the last of her stuff into her bag when there was a knock at the door. She ignored it and continued to pack when the door opened, she glanced over her shoulder to see Thor in plan clothing. She just stood there frozen it was been almost 6 weeks since she had left Asgard, she wasn't expecting to see him here in her room. Also at this moment in time, none of the other avengers were about making her disappearing act easier. She just stood there staring at Thor, working out how she could now out think a god.

"Two months you have been gone, I thought I would have heard word from you by now." Thor began smiling at her "Its good to see you Leah." He scooped her up into a strong embrace lifting her off the floor before putting her back down. "Where are you going?" He looked at the bag then back to her.

"Thor." She smiled pulling out of his hold before looking back over her shoulder knowing she could hardly lie to some one who was a friend and sort of family to her baby. "I was just going to have a break, some time to myself." She knew the majority of that was true.

"I need to talk to you urgently." He looked at her a very worried expression spreading across his face. She just frowned at him before she went to shut the door. She knew what ever Thor was going to say it was not for any other ears to hear. Slowly she turned to look at the giant man cocking her head questioningly. "Its about my brother."

"What has Loki done now?" She rolled her eyes letting out a long frustrated sigh, not really wanting to know anything about him. Though part of her heart skipped just hearing about him from Thor. She headed back to her bag picking up the last few items to go in. She knew that she needed to stick to her plan, if she went back to Asgard they would surely find out about the baby too. Thor may tell SHIELD about her and Loki's relationship, it would make the situation a whole lot worse.

"He hasn't been the same since you left" He stood there staring at her seriously. "I spoke to my mother, I was concerned about his well-being. She explained the relationship that you and my brother had. He has been lost since you have gone, he has isolated himself back in his cell. Mother is worried about his health, he is not interested in living any more. He is in pain and he won't talk to any one."

"Are you sure his wife isn't comforting him?" Leah drawled finishing off her packing and tightening the cord of her bag closing it. She could hear the bitterness in her voice but she didn't really care. Thor knew what had happened now so she didn't particularly if he knew how she felt.

"Sigyn or Ambora?" Thor frowned looking a little baffled with her question.

"He has two wives?" Leah gasped turning back around to look at Thor in shock. It made perfect sense but part of her was even more horrified that he had two of them. That was definitely not done on earth and it was something she should have known about to begin with. It made perfect sense however that he didn't tell her, adultery obviously wasn't seen to be an issue in Asgard.

"Had." Thor shook his head seeming a little supportive of Loki for her liking. "They no longer have a relationship together, they haven't done in years. They barely see each other for tens of years at a time. It's just we don't end marriages like you do here on Midgard. You have to remember Leah how old we are. We all have complicated passes. It should have been something Loki explained to you considering our two worlds are so different."

"Yeah 3000 years does that to you I suppose" Leah thought about what she had read in the history book the Queen had given her. She guessed now it was the reason the Queen had given it to her, so she understood the Asgardian way. "He just never told me, I just wish I knew before the night of that celebrations. They were talking, they seemed quiet close. I asked Volstagg and well you know the rest." She sat down on her bunk looking at him trying to get her head around what Thor had just told her. "So two wives, okay I get it now."

She thought about it, it did explain a lot, not the reason why Loki had lied to her. But considering she was from another world she could see why he would have worried about her reaction. She just lifted her bag off her bed making space for Thor to sit next to her.

"Yes, I know it's a lot to take in." Thor smiled sitting down beside her seeming sympathetic. "He loves you Leah, I have never seen my brother this way before about any woman. You have managed to hurt him more than any other person could. I think he expected you two to be together and for you to forgive him. Considering how you forgave him for worse crimes. Not for you to leave Asgard and return to a world he could not chase after you."

She knew Thor was right, she had run to some where which Loki could not come and find her. He was forbidden to leave Asgard, she partially thought it was unfair of her but she needed out at the time. They sat there together for a number of silent minutes. Leah finally turned to look at Thor who still seemed troubled.

"I needed to leave, to clear my head Thor." Leah looked at him.

"Is it clear now?" Thor frowned looking down at her.

"No." Leah chuckled knowing how stupid it sounded. "I can't seem to think about much else."

"Come back with me Leah?" Thor asked a begging expression on his face. "See him, talk to him."

"I don't think I can Thor." Leah shook her head standing back up and pacing the room. "I have something more important I have to do. Loki will get over me, he gotten over so much more before." She then stopped thinking for a moment. "Does he have a family Thor, I mean with his wives did he have any children?" She placed her hand gently against the bump not causing it to be obvious.

"Why do you ask." Thor stared at her for a moment thinking and looking at her before saying. "Your bearing his child." His eyes fixed on her hands on her stomach. Leah just nodded a tear running down her eye. "He has had off spring." Thor began a little cautiously looking a little uncomfortable about this conversation. "No of them in child form. We always put it down to his magic and lies he created to either gain or keep his wives."

"Off spring?" Leah suddenly felt sick at the thought of what that meant. It was not what she expected to hear at all from Thor.

"Yes. No of them took our form." Thor explained looking a little worried now about her. "One was a wolf, which is down in the dungeons of Asgard for its crimes, another is a serpent."

"Oh god." Leah put a hand over her mouth as she felt her stomach tighten. "I saw that hideous creature." She suddenly got up and bolted to the on suite where she emptied the contents of her stomach.

"Leah are you alright?" Thor called obviously not following her which she was grateful for.

"Just give me a minute." She cried pushing herself into the dark corner of the bathroom trying to calm herself and collect her thoughts. She knew what she had seen previously of that wolf. She remembered seeing the scan and how her baby had two arms, two legs and a head all looking human like. She wrapped her arms around her bump holding it to almost comfort her.

"I didn't mean to scare you." Thor began again from the other room realizing what he had said to her. "Look Loki loves you, you changed him to a better man, a happier person. The moment you left he turned back into the man he was."

Leah knew she needed answers now. Perhaps running across the world from SHIELD was not the best idea now considering what her child could be born like. She knew the care that Asgard could give her, the fact she would have people around her that would give her answers and help if she needed. She got up brushing herself down and checking her appearance. She looked horrific and blotchy but there were no evidence of vomit to be seen on her. She slowly stepped out of the bathroom looking at Thor standing in front of her before she pulled the photo out of her pocket of her child. She handed it to Thor, who looked at it before smiling.

"It looks a strong."

"It looks normal to me." Leah sighed placing a hand on her stomach. "But it could come out as anything. Couldn't it?"

"It will be yours though and you have a big heart considering you forgave my brother and loved him." Thor began taking hold of her shoulders and staring at her "What ever this child is, I know it will be good as you won't let anything else happen to it. Come back home Leah with me, we will look after you and this child."

"I do not know what to do?" She began shaking her head.

"Please, help my brother again." He begged her trying to reassure her. "Jane is on Asgard as we speak, I do not wish to leave her alone any longer. It would be good for her to have female company. My mother may be able to answer further woman questions you may have. I beg of you." Thor continued "Bring my brother back to us again."

"Fine, one condition." She looked at him pointing her finger at him seriously. "If I wish to leave you will not stop me whatever your brother asks of you, you will let me come back here."

"You have my word."

Leah just looked around her room one last time picking up anything she may have forgotten. She knew this was just as bad as running, she was still breaking protocol completely. She only hoped this was not the last time she stepped on earth. Picking up her bag and took hold of Thor's hand and they were transported back to Asgard.
