"What's important is that we remember not to panic," Pepper said, pacing back and forth in front of the bed. "We don't know anything yet."

"Pepper, if you don't stop pacing you're gonna make me dizzy," Natasha said from her spot against the wall. After Jane sent out her S.O.S call, the women had convened in her and Thor's bedroom; in a male dominated living area, it was important for the women to stick together. "And I think you're freaking Jane out more."

"I-I'm not freaked out," Jane said, staring at the pregnancy test on her desk. 'How can something so small hold so much power over people?' she wondered.

"Right," Natasha said sarcastically. "So you're always this pale huh?"

Jane jumped as her phone's alarm went off, the shrill ringing causing her stomach to drop. "It's time," Jane whispered, standing up.

"Whatever happens everything is gonna be alright," Pepper said, hugging her quickly.

The walk from the bed to her desk seemed like three miles instead of ten feet as the sound of her heart pounding drowned out everything else. 'Deep breaths, take deep breaths,' she told herself, her hands shaking as she picked up the pregnancy test. This pregnancy test, this six-inch piece of plastic, was going to drastically change her life in one way or another. She looked down at the test, the edges of her vision shimmering slightly. "Positive," she said, her mind spinning.

"She's going down," Natasha said frantically, gripping Jane's upper arms as she began to sway dangerously to one side. Jane sat numbly in the chair Pepper had pulled out, her heart racing.

"Jane honey, just take deep breaths; everything is gonna be okay," Pepper said, rubbing her back.

Jane took several deep breaths, trying to calm her rising panic. "I-it's positive," she said, her eyes widening. "I'm pregnant. Oh my god I'm pregnant; what am I gonna do? How's Thor gonna react!"

"For what it's worth, I think Thor would take it pretty well," Natasha said. "He's all about family; I think he might be excited about it actually."

"I think Natasha's right," Pepper said, nodding.

"How are we gonna raise a child though?" Jane asked, rubbing her forehead. 'Great, I'm getting a migraine now too.' "I'm always working and he's always going back and forth between here and Asgard, constantly fighting. How will we manage to take care of a kid?"

"I think you should take a step back and focus on telling him you're pregnant," Natasha suggested.

"Oh man, how am I gonna tell Thor?" Jane groaned. 'This is a disaster.'

Thor smiled as he was teleported to the roof of Stark Towers, a clap of thunder announcing his arrival. He looked around the rooftop expectantly, his smile falling slightly when he realized Jane wasn't there. 'Perhaps she has retired to our bedroom,' he thought, looking out at the city skyline. He braced his hands on the railing momentarily, relaxing as he looked at the twinkling lights of the city. This was favorite place in Stark Towers, second only to the room he shared with Jane. This is where he spent his time thinking: thinking about his brother, Loki, and the saddening distance that had formed between him, about his work with the Avengers, about Asgard and its future, about his future reign as king of Asgard, and about Jane, who took up most of his thoughts. He turned toward the staircase, yelling a hasty greeting to the people sitting in the living room before heading to his room.

"This is gonna be interesting," Natasha whispered to Pepper as Thor rushed by.

Jane jumped as she heard the door close behind her, distracting her from her pacing. She had been wearing a path in the floor since Natasha and Pepper left her to sort out her thoughts after they were sure she wouldn't have a panic attack. She spent the entire time trying to figure out what the best way to tell Thor about her pregnancy, but didn't manage to come up with anything. The only thing her thinking managed to accomplish was making her more and more worried about Thor's reaction.

Jane wasn't even sure how she felt. She was definitely scared; she hadn't planned on having kids yet, not for a few more years and yet there was one growing in her. She was nervous about how Thor would react; could the god of thunder faint? But there was a little part of her that was excited. The thought that she was having a baby, her and Thor's baby, caused her heart to flutter in happiness. But it didn't dwarf her fear. Her biggest fear was Thor not wanting the baby; she didn't know what she would do then.

"Good evening Jane," Thor said, smiling brightly as he approached her.

"Hey Thor, how was Asgard?" Jane asked, relaxing slightly as Thor wrapped his arms around her. She placed her head against his chest, closing her eyes as she listened to his steady heartbeat, a stark contrast to her racing heart.

"Quite busy, but I am glad I was able to return tonight. I would have missed you greatly if we were parted for a time," he replied.

"I would have missed you too," she said, hugging him tightly.

"Jane, are you well?" Thor asked, tilting her face up. "You do not seem normal this evening."

"I'm not sure if I'm okay," Jane said softly.

"Shall I have Lady Pepper fetch a healer?" Thor asked worriedly, loosening his grip on her in case she agreed.

"No, no I don't need a doctor," Jane replied. "Thor, I…I have something I need to tell you." Jane gently pulled his arms from around her, turning away to face the darkened windows. She felt the worry and panic well up, her stomach twisting into knots. She could feel herself shaking slightly, but could not quell the slight tremors.

Thor frowned as Jane moved away from him, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. He moved to stand in front of her, holding her face gently in his massive hands. "What has you so worried Jane?" he asked softly, looking into her eyes.

"Thor, you love me right?" Jane asked, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"Of course I do," Thor replied, his confusion building. "I love you more than anything in the nine realms."

"Thor," Jane paused, unsure if she could force the words out. She gazed into his blue eyes, filled with love and confusion. 'I can do this,' she thought. 'It's gonna be okay.' "Thor, I'm pregnant."
