Leah was frustrated and bitter now, how dare they lock her up like a criminal. She had done nothing wrong apart from falling in love with a man. Leah leaned against the wall sitting on the floor with her legs stretched out as they had begun to hurt from standing and pacing for so long. She had completely no idea how long it had been now. They hadn't even bothered to give her some rest time, they had left the lights on giving her no time to sleep. Not that she was going to sleep, she couldn't, not here while she was vulnerable. She felt exhausted, with no sleep as well as not eating since arrival on earth. She hated that she was a prisoner among her own people now, she understood how Loki must have felt during his captivity on Asgard. She was angry now, the only person who had been in was Aiden and a guard who kept bringing food and a clean set of clothing, both she hadn't touched not trusting any one. She was at least thankful though that this room had a concealed bathroom, at least they had recognized that with her being pregnant she had needs. And occasionally she had no control of these needs. Leah just thought about poor Loki who wouldn't have a clue what was going on unless Thor had gone back to Asgard. However she knew that Thor would not risk that, to have his brother turn on earth again like before.

Leah slowly stood up as an uncomfortable feeling had started, which normally indicated she had been in one position for too long. She paced the room slowly the feeling of something pressing down on her bump didn't fade. In fact it got worse, Leah let out a cry as a wave of pain passed through her body, it only lasted around 10 seconds but that was long enough.

"no, no, no." Leah groaned as the pain faded, she stood up straight and panted slightly. She could feel her body tremble from the aftermath of what ever that was. She paused and thought for a moment, when the realization of what just happened hit her.

She was not going to go in labor, in a cell, alone, that was not how she wanted it. She felt her body relax slightly as she rubbed her bump. She tried to calm herself but the panic had already set in, she didn't want Loki to miss out on the birth of his child. She also didn't want SHIELD freaking out further if her child came out blue or well not a child, she knew what would happen to it then. She could not let that happen to her, her child or Loki, their family would be torn apart. She felt her body build up for another wave was the only description she could give the feeling in her abdomen. She moved around the wall using the support of the wall before banging on the door with her fist.

"I need a doctor in here." She shouted before groaning again her face scrunching up as the discomfort came. She just cried out a little gritting her teeth.

She got herself onto the floor before she collapsed, the door opened and people rushed around her not that she was really aware of them. Once again the feeling passed, she looked up to see Mathew with his hands on her bump, stethoscope in his ears. He was obviously listening to the child, he looked up saying.

"I want her in a hospital ward, I can not deliver a child in a cell."

"Fury wants her to stay here." She heard Aiden tell Mathew. "She isn't going anywhere."

"Fury may want her hanging off the roof, she is under my care now, I want her in my infirmary. If she is cuffed to the bed or have armed guards outside the door I do not care. I just want to make sure mother and baby are well and safe." Mathews voice raised, she never heard Aiden's reply, Mathew gently held her under her arms and helped her to her feet. "Easy now Leah, come on."

Mathew walked her to the infirmary, she realized she was in a base she was familiar with at least. She had worked here at least twice she could think of. A few more contraction like feelings passed through her making them stop a couple of times. Mathew took her into a private room on the infirmary allowing her to sit down on the bed. She saw the two armed guards take their positions outside the door. She just looked at Mathew who seemed to be getting equipment immediately.

"How are you feeling?" Mathew asked helping her to get comfortable.

"Scared." Leah looked up at him as she rubbed her stomach. She could feel her body tremble from the aftermath of the contractions. "I am sorry if I got you into trouble." She added looking at him feeling guilty.

"Don't worry about it, I understand better than others considering." He smiled at her looking very reassuring. "So how are you feeling, any more contractions?"

"No, they aren't contractions though?" Leah stared at him wide-eyed. "Are they?"

"I will need to do a full examination first." Mathew sighed continuing his work.

Leah had gotten into a hospital gown after many protests. She kept her dress close by though as well as keeping the gold jewelry on. She was not going to part with anything which reminded her of her new home and Loki. She watched as Mathew did a full work up on her, she finally asked.

"How's Clint doing?"

"Much the same." Mathew replied stopping what he was doing. "He isn't good Leah, I am not sure what to really do for him."

"I know about Coulson." Leah stared at Mathew who looked a little shocked by what she said. "I am guessing you were his physician who used my blood to bring him back from the dead?"

"How?" Mathew frowned now looking completely stunned that she even knew that classified information.

"I saw him, he told me the truth." Leah muttered shrugging thinking about it. "So how about it, will my blood cure Clint?"

"Yes but we don't have the quantity we use too because of Phil." Mathew replied honesty.

"Take some now." Leah offered knowing she would do anything for her brother. At least then she would know something good would have come from this.

"Your pregnant Leah, it's not safe especially the amount we need." Mathew shook his head continuing his examination. "I am not willing to risk it."

"Then take a little." Leah argued looking at her friend with desperation. "What ever is safe enough, I mean considering my powers."

"You were having contractions minutes ago." Mathew looked up at her seriously, his eyes telling her that he was not going to give in. "Let me finish here first at least."

Leah sat there quietly knowing there was no point continuing her request, Mathew hooked her up to some machines and took her readings. She was being as patient as she could but her hands had already started fiddling with the hem of her gown. Mathew finally looked back up at her and asked.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Fine." Leah nodded before sighing "A little nervous though."

"No more contractions?" Mathew continued frowning at her.

"No." Leah shook her head watching him work. "What's happening to me Mathew?"

"I would say that they were braxton hicks contractions brought on by the stress you have been through the pass few days." Mathew explained looking down at her folder. "Don't worry they are quite common. Many women get them. However." He paused frowning at her notes. "You are carrying a child like your 40 weeks pregnant by the look of things and my records say your only 28 weeks now?"

"Well its taking on its fathers genes I guess." Leah smirked rubbing the bump, she knew that things were always going to be different with this child considering. "Asgardian people don't have an exact time for pregnancies, they give birth whenever really. So dates don't really work. consider some people have short pregnancies others have long."

"And the bruises that you have?" Mathew said sounding a little suspicious this time. She knew what it must look like to him and needed to stop the way he was thinking.

"It's not Loki's doing at all, if that's what your thinking." She interrupted him looking a little worried knowing that it was only more evidence that wasn't Loki's doing not that they would think that. "It's the baby, It's a strong kicker, I guess the risk of a human carrying a gods child." Leah muttered shrugging. "I am fine though, my body is coping, Loki and I decided if it got worse we would have the child prematurely, but honestly I feel fine." Leah defended the child. "It seems to be kicking less now."

"I would like to do a scan if you would allow me?" Mathew looked at her curiously. "Just make sure everything is going okay."

"Okay." Leah smiled nodding before freezing as she realized something. "But." She paused looking at Mathew who stopped what he was doing to look at her raising an eyebrow at her. "I may need to tell you something first."

"What is it Leah?" Mathew sat down on the corner of her bed now looking very concerned.

"Loki has had children in the pass." Leah began not really sure how to word it. She thought about how she was going to word this to her friend, she knew she needed to be cautious but then again Mathew would see the truth if there was anything wrong. "They didn't come out of the mothers as children though. His mother, Loki's mother thinks this was because Loki had used magic during the other women's relationship with him, which he hasn't with me."

"What are you saying Leah?" Mathew sounded very worried now.

"I have been worried about what this child will be when it arrives. As all his other children didn't take human form when they were born." Leah looked down knowing how crazy she may sound. "If you're doing a scan I wanted to pre-warn you."

Mathew just nodded before wheeling a scanner into the room and setting up. He applied the cold jelly onto her abdomen before pressing the scanner to her skin, she watched the screen as he found the child within her. She just looked at it. Mathew turned her to her and said.

"It looks like a baby to me." Mathew smiled at her.

"Thank god." Leah laughed looking at the well formed child on the screen. It definitely had a normal looking head, arms and legs. It was perfect by the look of things, not that it could be anything else in her eyes. She saw the rapid heart beat, it was even sucking it own thumb. She could only wish that Loki was here to see their child.

"Your not far off I would say." He smirked looking at her seriously as he continued the scan. "The head is ready to engaged in to your cervix, so I would say your about ready."

"Wow." She stared at the image only hoping that it would hang on for a bit so Loki would be around for the birth. "It is getting so real now, can I have a photo to show Loki, I mean, only if that is okay." Mathew just nodded before Leah asked "So how about you taking some of my precious miracle-working blood for my brother if your happy with me."

"I will take some, not a lot." Mathew nodded looking at her seriously "but it may not have the same effect on Clint as it did Phil. It was only a theory last time that we were testing out but I am almost sure it should help him in some way."

Mathew took a bag of blood before making Leah eat a full meal and pudding, to help keep up her energy levels. She was absolutely stuffed but feeling a little better, relaxed and happy that their child was safe. She finally then got a chance to rest feeling safer here than she did in the cell.

She stood there screaming at Loki to stop, but it was like he wasn't listening. Leah looked around at the destruction and decay that he had caused to the world she use to think of as home. He seemed full of rage and anger again, she could see it in his eyes. She tried to stop him, she wrapped her arms around him trying to get him to listen to her. He just pushed her away causing her to fall and stumble to the floor. As she looked up she saw the lifeless faces of Clint, Natasha, Steve and Mathew looking up at her. There eyes wide and cold looking as she let out a cry.

She woke up gasping looking to her side to see the morning light shining through the window. She knew it was just a nightmare, but it was something that could have the potential of happening. Slowly she got up and to looked out of the window to see that day had already come. She changed back into her dress, knowing that she needed to find a way out, she didn't want to be here any longer than she had too now. She knew that her nightmare told a partial truth, Loki would come after her and her child, to rescue them. He wouldn't stop to make sure they were safe and if that meant killing he would. She knew way she had been treated by Aiden and Fury was beyond what she expected from them and she did not deserve this type of treatment. But she knew that she needed to find a way out without causing harm to them. She paced the room when Mathew arrived and looked at him seriously.

"How's Clint?" She asked firstly looking up at him hoping that it would be only good news.

"He's improved, perhaps we could take some more blood from you today if your blood count had returned to normal."

"I need to go home Mathew." She said looking at him as she offered her arm for a blood sample, her face full of worry and need. "Will you help me?"

"Leah I can't do any more than I have done." Mathew shook his head looking a little awkward about the situation. He stuck the needle into her arm taking a small blood sample.

"I can't stay here and deprive a child of its father." Leah argued staring at him rubbing her arm as he removed the needle.

"I am so sorry Leah but I can't do anything, my hands are tied." Mathew looked at her apologetically.

Leah watched as he left, she picked up and threw the plastic cup of water again the wall cursing. This was not how she had planned this to go. She paced the room looking back and forth at the guards on the door, she knew that if only she could have a distraction or a weapon of her own she could possibly escape. However she did not know where Thor was. And he was her only ticket back to Asgard and back to Loki.

Thank you for the support, loving the reviews, they are all lovely and really appreciated! They are definitely helping me develop the story! I am giving you an extra chapter today, as hoping to see the new Thor movie this week (and get my Loki fix hehe). This may mean not being able to give you a new chapter for one day (sorry!). Hope you continue to enjoy! Thanks again.
