Leah was pacing back and forth in her and Loki's chambers reading the finally finished letter to Helena who sat there staring at her. She had finally finished a copy of the letter which she thought explained the best her relationship, feelings and changes that had happened between her and Loki. It was basically for her brother but she knew that the majority of the Avengers and SHIELD would probably end up seeing it. She hoped that it would give them the understanding that people deserved second chances and that Loki deserved that chance too. She finished reading looking at Helena who just sat there looking at her seriously. She could tell by the women's expression she was taking it all in and thinking about what had been written.

"What do you think?" Leah frowned looking back through the letter, part of her wasn't sure if it was right for this type of explanation.

She actually liked the woman once she had gotten to know her, she had been really helpful in one making Leah more comfortable during her pregnancy as well as helping her to fully adjust to the ways of Asgard. Helena was full of information which had been a great help to Leah fitting in and living the way that Leah wanted too. She had actually been one of Loki's and his mother's better ideas, she hadn't thought it would have worked out to begin with but Leah had been proven wrong.

"It's a lot to put in one letter." Helena muttered still considering everything which had been said. "Wouldn't it be better to see them to say this?"

Helena had a point, but if SHIELD got involved which they surely would it not end well for her or the baby. Leah knew that she could only do this by letter to guarantee the safety of her and her child for now and perhaps in the future she would be able to return. There was also the fact that Loki would not be able to go to earth, so she would have to go alone.

"I can't, Loki would not allow it." Leah sighed pacing the room again looking back to the 4 page hand written letter. "I am going to give this to Thor, he can deliver it and answer any further questions they may have."

"Then it is a good letter." Helena smiled standing up and taking the letter from her hands and making Leah sit down. "Rest this is not good for the baby you being on your feet all the time, I will get you an herbal remedy which will help with your anxieties and remember the Queen will be coming shortly to finalize the celebration. I will collect some wine and fruit you can have together."

Leah just let out a sigh nodding as Helena left her alone, she actually really liked the woman, she made more sense than Leah felt she did at the moment. The pregnancy and everything in between had thrown Leah completely off kilter. Leah rubbed her large round abdomen, where her and Loki's child currently slept within. There was a small knock at the door making her let out a sigh and wearily get up heading to the door. She opened it to see the Queen standing there smiling at her. Leah opened the door wide allowing the Queen in before shutting it.

"Helena has just gone to get us beverages." Leah told the Queen apologetically as she had nothing else to offer her. "Sorry I wasn't ready."

"Do not worry child." The Queen smiled sitting down at a chair. "I am early. How are you feeling? You have grown again."

Leah just laughed rubbing her stomach, it was true she was growing rather quickly at the moment which seemed to cause Loki more concern than it did her. She just thought because they were two different types of people to take things in her stride. She felt better than she had in a long time, a little tired but nothing more than she expected really.

"I feel great actually." Leah grinned looking down at her bump. "The child kicks only when Loki is about, obviously knows how to please its father already."

The Queen looked delighted by that comment, Leah just sat there as the Queen continued with topic on this celebration which sounded more like a baby shower to her. She knew it was custom to celebrate the pre-arrival of a little Prince or Princess. Leah just agreed with all the Queens suggestions, knowing that she knew better than she ever would.

The door opened, Loki entered the room before pausing looking at the pair of them together. She knew he tried to avoid their meetings together about the feast, so he didn't have to say anything that may upset his mother when he disagreed with her. He went over to his mother placing a kiss on her head before sitting beside Leah and placing a hand on her abdomen awakening the baby immediately. Leah felt the hard kicks and sudden movements, she glanced at Loki who was smiling watching his hand obviously feeling the activity within her uterus. Leah just shook her head at him grinning knowing that it was all down to him. She sat up a little as the kicks became slightly painful if anything as the baby caught her ribs and any internal organ it could find.

"How do the preparations fair?" He asked glancing between the two women obviously being kind. "I hope everything prepared?"

"Good, we are ready." The Queen nodded looking pleased for the two of them. "You and Thor will go hunting tonight again won't you, considering the feast is tomorrow?"

"Of course, its customary for the center piece is it not." Loki muttered rolling his eyes smirking as his hand gently caressed Leah's stomach. "I am certain will start this afternoon if Thor has his way."

"Good, I will leave you two." The Queen sighed standing up. Leah just stood up and followed her, she gave the Queen a hug, the Queen gently placed a hand on her swollen stomach. Leah had gotten use to people touching her bump, it seemed to be normal level of attention for pregnant women to receive. The Queen looked at the bump for a moment before gasping obviously feeling a kick that Leah felt the baby give. The Queen looked up at her smiling, looking very pleased in feeling the sensation. "It is definitely strong. I would say it's a boy."

"I am saving judgment." Leah rose an eyebrow glancing at Loki who obviously seemed amused by what his mother had said as a huge grin appeared on his face.

"I will see you tomorrow." The Queen kissed her cheek before leaving.

Leah just shut the door letting out a long sigh, turning around to still see Loki smirking his head lolled back as he lounged in the chair. Leah moved around the room moving a few things about getting organised, she was just folding her letter up placing it within an envelope as Loki chuckled.

"She has an advantage."

"What do you mean?" Leah muttered turning to face him and crossing her arms a little confused by what he meant.

"She has been known to see things before they happen." Loki grinned looking up at her, he was definitely happy with what his mother had suggested then. "We maybe having a boy after all."

"I think it's a girl." Leah retorted knowing that he would prefer a son, men seemed to always want son's for some reason. "I actually don't care what it is, as long as it comes out with a head, two arms, two legs, ten toes and ten fingers."

"Our child will be fine." Loki reassured her standing up and wrapping his arms around her, looking down smiling. "Do not worry yourself. Helena said that you were fretting over this letter again?"

"I wasn't." Leah snorted however knowing that Helena was right and was certainly concerned if she had told Loki. "I will catch Thor today to take it to my brother. Then there will be nothing for me to worry about, out of my hands."

"Then do not worry." Loki kissed her softly on the lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Its out of your control now."

He was right, this was out of her hands now and she needed to stop worrying about it. Part of her didn't care that her brother would not be happy, however it was her brother and she loved him. She rested her head against his chest and let out a long sigh as her hands found his thick black hair at the back of his head

"Thank you." She finally said.

"For what little one?" He sounded a little confused.

"For being so understanding."

He just chuckled, she felt the vibrations in his chest before he kissed the top of her head and went to leave. She however hung on to him, he glanced at her frowning as she stood up on tip toe and kissed him on the lips passionately. She felt him pull her as close as she could now against his body. She let out a sigh against his lips and finally let him go. She stood there watching him leave as he turn to say.

"I will see you late tonight when I return from the hunt. Rest." He said in his commanding tone which only made her laugh at him.

Leah just nodded smiling as he left the room. She picked up folded the letter up before going to find Thor. She knew that he was the best and only person who could deliver this letter. She found him moving around the throne room with some people following him. She stood back and watched from a distance, he was taking on the role of King slowly, Odin giving him more responsibilities as the weeks passed. She saw Thor look up at her, she just waved nervously, he had obviously sent everyone away, Leah just smiled as he approached her with a massive grin on his face.

"Sister." He said pulling her into a hug, she gave him one back and chuckled slightly as he lifted her off the floor.

"Pardon?" Leah laughed at the gesture he made as he placed back down on the ground.

"You carry my brothers child, you and my brother are together, surely you will wed." Thor shrugged making it sound to easy "Therefore your my family now, my sister."

"I guess." Leah smiled back at him before laughing slightly "That makes you my brother I guess?" Thor just nodded smiling at her, Leah knew then exactly how to play this to hopefully help her in her task. "Then can a sister ask her brother to something very important that she can't do herself?"

Thor's smile slowly disappeared as a more serious expression replaced it. He gently took her arm as they started to walk around the Throne room. Leah knew that he might already know what her plans were but she wasn't too sure. They went to a quiet secluded corner, she knew he was obviously worried about what she was going to exactly ask him to do. It would be lie if she said she wasn't nervous in asking.

"What do you require?" He finally asked looking down at her frowning.

"I need you to take a letter to Midgard, to my Brother Clint, I need to tell them where I am Thor. Considering we left quickly and I told no one my plans to return here. I have written this to well tell them." Leah pulled the letter out looking at it as she noticed her hand was shaking. "It explains everything I hope, if you could fill in any blanks or questions they may have?"

"Are you sure you want to do this, this way?" Thor frowned deepened as he began to look a little concerned at her. "It would be no trouble if you wished for me to take you to your brother. You could explain then in person."

Leah felt a tear fall from her face, what she would like to do is go and see her brother. However that was not really an option that was available to do safely. Leah slowly nodded, knowing she needed to stay firm in her decision, she slowly looked up at Thor saying.

"I can't go back, this is the only way." She sighed pushing the letter into his hands, making him take hold of it.

"Then its my honor to do this task for you Leah, my sister." Thor smiled weakly trying to sound a little happier about it but she could tell he was worried about her. "I will try my best to complete it. I am meant to go hunting with Loki but I can go now?"

"No do not spoil your fun." Leah interrupted him knowing that Loki was looking forward to spend time with his brother. Even though he pretended that he was not that bothered. "Perhaps could you go tomorrow before the Feast so it does not weigh on my mind any longer?"

"Of course." Thor agreed.

Leah just looked up at him smiling before turning and leaving the throne room. She felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, she knew there were going to be a lot of questions that Thor would have to answer. Perhaps once their child was born, she could return to see Clint knowing that her child was safe. Leah just smiled rubbing her bump as she headed back to their room.
