From 'Weird Looking' to 'Gorgeous Man is Gorgeous'

by thelastclarissa

Pretty AU until the last few chapters, and then a bit less AU. Darcy is a confident, dancey, Tumblr-loving person and also Jane's secretary type person, and Loki is a supersmart doctor who has a hard time talking to girls and is chivalrous and cute. They bond over geekiness. Loki isn't really very dark. Mostly fluff. Follows Darcy and Loki over about two years.

25. Chapter 25 Epilogue

That weekend

The doorbell rang. Fuck. Darcy clutched her belly, feeling a little queasy. "Loki?" She called from their bedroom as she waited for the queasiness to pass and changed her shirt. Nathan had thrown a fit and splashed his orange juice on her at breakfast, and she'd just finished dealing with that. He was currently in a time-out in his room. "Can you get the door? That must be them."

It was a Saturday morning, and Thor, Jane, and their twins, were coming over to visit for the day. Their families got together every few weekends or so to catch up and let the boys play with each other. Well, 'play'. The twins were just learning to crawl right now, but Nathan loved them. He made faces for them, and told them stories that Darcy was sure they couldn't understand yet, but loved.

And it was great to see Thor and Jane. Everyone had gotten quite busy, what with Loki at the lab and Thor and his carpentry business, Jane and Darcy with their kids... And not to mention Darcy's stabs at writing. She'd started during Nathan's naps as something to do, and found that she really enjoyed it. She'd written a few short stories, but had really been drawn to children's literature, what with being submerged in it with Nathan. It was actually after reading The Velveteen Rabbit to Nathan to put him to sleep that she'd first picked up a pencil to really write.

In his room, Nathan sulked. It wasn't fair. His cousins were coming over soon and he didn't want to be in a time-out. He threw a toy car at the wall angrily.

"Got it!" Loki called back to her. "And Nathan, no throwing things." He sighed, shaking his head. It was almost funny how mundane and domestic his life was these days. He opened the door.

A/N: Aaaand it's over. Thank you everyone who reads and reviews! You are wonderful! I loved writing this.

If you're fine with the way it ended and don't want anything to change, then I suggest you don't read the SEQUEL that I've just put up the first part of, because things happen. I've got a lot of ideas for the sequel though, so if you feel like it, come follow Darcy and Loki in a new adventure... =)
