Sorry this chapter is shorter than the others guys, I'm studying for my history final tomorrow and I've got writer's block right now.
"Truthfully, I cannot find the words to express how gladdened I am that you have come to Asgard," Frigga said as they walked into her bedroom.
"Oh my god," Jane whispered, looking around the extravagant room. The entire room was decorated in silver and gold; golden walls, the bed covered with silver sheets, the brickwork surrounding the fireplace painted silver while the wardrobe and dresser were gold. 'This place is bigger than the living room at Stark Towers,' she thought. "Your bedroom is amazing."
"Thank you my dear; you and Thor will have a room just as lovely when you are wed. Of course it will be decorated to your tastes. I suspect that red will be a prominent color in your room," Frigga replied, leading her to the chairs set around the fireplace. "We have some time before we must prepare for the feast; let us get to know each other better."
Jane sat in the large armchair, shifting her feet nervously. "What would you like to know about me?"
"Tell me about your life on Midgard; I would be a poor mother indeed if I did not learn about your life. Thor tells me much about your work; he's quite proud of you," Frigga said happily.
Jane blushed slightly at her words, unaware that Thor spoke so highly of her. "My work was basically my life before I met Thor. I've always been fascinated with the universe ever since I was a little kid and I've spent all my time trying to prove that there are other worlds; it's ironic that I fell in love with someone from a completely different world," Jane laughed. "But there has never been anyone I've felt as strongly about. Thor he's just so…"
"Thor," Frigga suggested. "Yes, my son is unique indeed. I'm overjoyed he was able to return to Midgard, to return to you. He has found a perfect person to wed."
"You don't care that I'm not from Asgard?" Jane asked.
"Oh no dear Jane. Those things matter neither to me nor to Odin. I have always felt when Thor found his true love, she would not be of Asgardian blood. Thor needs someone who does not fear him or his status, who will stand against him when his stubbornness threatens his safety but will still possess the tenderness to love him. You are a most perfect match for Thor," Frigga said, smiling. "On Asgard, a person's heritage does not matter to us; we will only judge people by the purity and nobility of their heart. Dear Jane, you have proven to be a most worthy person."
"Thank you Frigga," Jane replied, blushing at her compliment. "I can see where Thor gets his personality from; he's a lot like you with perfect manners. You've raised him well."
"It is Thor's kind heart that have led to his personality," Frigga said. "I hope you will stay with us in Asgard for a while. I'm sure you must return to Midgard to continue your work, but I would be quite pleased if you returned to visit."
"I would love to come back to visit," Jane replied honestly. "I think I'll like Asgard a lot."
"Asgard is a most beautiful place; Thor will show you everything. But now we must prepare for the feast," Frigga said, rising from her seat. "I have a gown which will suit you wonderfully."
"Gown?" Jane asked cautiously.
Odin clapped a hand on Thor's shoulder, grinning broadly as Jane and Frigga left the room. "Jane is a most perfect person, do you not think?" Thor asked, turning toward his father.
"Yes indeed; you have chosen a perfect person to be your mate," Odin replied. "So smart and kind, she will make a magnificent queen to Asgard. Asgard cannot be run by a king alone; a queen is needed to help rule the kingdom. Your mother is my greatest advisor; I take her advice about Asgard with the utmost confidence."
"Jane would be a good advisor. She is much more levelheaded than I. Her intelligence reminds me of Loki; Brother gave me wonderful advice when we were children, though I ignored it far too often," Thor said, shaking his head. "What a fool I was."
"You are wiser now; you have learned from your exile on Midgard. Your banishment seemed to be a blessing in disguise; twas not for it you would have never met Jane. And Asgard would have lost the opportunity to gain a wonderful queen, you a wonderful wife. She will make a fine queen and a fine mother. As you will be a wonderful father."
"I hope so," Thor said, worry seeping into his voice. He was incredibly happy that Jane was pregnant, that they were going to have a child together, but he was worried. Would he make a good father? Would he be able to raise a child properly? These thoughts plagued his mind late at night when the avengers tower was silent, when Jane was sound asleep next to him; he would rest his large palm against Jane's stomach, thinking about their child growing within her. "The babe deserves to have a good father."
"You will make a fine father," Odin said kindly. "Together you and Jane shall raise a fine child whether they are raised on Midgard or here in the halls of Asgard. But come, we must prepare for the feast; Asgard must celebrate many momentous occasions tonight."
"It shall be a night to remember indeed," Thor said, walking out of the room with his father.
A feast for the next chapter! You know how those Asgardians get down. Here's a hint: tense silences, staring eyes and buckets of mead.
