Jane stood in front of the mirror, spinning around. 'Well this is different,' she thought, smoothing down the skirt of her dress. Frigga's attendants had come into the room an hour before, helping them prepare for the feast. After tumbling through her wardrobe for a few minutes, Frigga pulled out a dress for Jane, declaring it perfect for her. Jane was awestruck; it was absolutely perfect for her, something she would have chosen for herself. It was a simple navy ball gown that cinched at her waist and flared out in front of her; the skirt was big enough to feel feminine without overwhelming her due to her small size. The material shimmered in the light, making it look darker in the light. Jane finally understood what people meant when they said they were in love with an article of clothing; for a woman who spent most of her time in jeans and shirts, she was in heaven. She left her hair down and wore the barest hint of makeup; she wasn't used to being dolled up.

"You look wonderful Jane," Frigga said, smiling at her. "Your beauty will leave Thor wonderstruck; he will think he has died and gone to Valhalla."

"Thank you. And thank you so much for letting me borrow your dress; it's amazing," Jane replied, running her hand over the fabric. "It's absolutely incredible."

"Think nothing of it; it is my pleasure." A loud knock at the door interrupted them as they turned toward it. "You should get that my dear; I believe it's for you," Frigga said with a knowing smile.

Jane picked up the skirt of her dress slightly, still unused to the size of it. 'I wonder if this is how I'm going to feel when I start getting bigger,' she wondered. She opened the heavy doors, smiling as she saw Thor standing there in full armor. She help back a laugh as she saw Thor's jaw go slack momentarily before stretching into a wide, cheek-splitting grin. "You look magnificent Jane," he said, wrapping his arms around her as he kissed her deeply.

"You look quite handsome too," Jane said breathlessly, her hands resting on Thor's shoulders. "I'm sure we make quite the couple."

"There is not a more beautiful couple in all the nine realms," Frigga said, smiling happily. "Is everything prepared Thor?"

"Yes mother. Father waits for us in the great hall. Shall we go?" he asked, offering his mother one arm and Jane the other.

"You've raised quite the gentleman," Jane said, laughing as they walked down the hallway. "Always impeccable manners."

"Both of you shall wait out here," Frigga said as they stood outside tall, wooden doors. "Odin shall announce your arrival and you shall enter."

"W-what?" Jane stammered as Frigga slipped inside. 'This is NOT what I was expecting.' "I thought we were just going to walk in and meet everyone."

"Normally yes that is the way it would be done, but since this is your first time in Asgard you will be presented to the people before Father announces our betrothal and the news of our child," Thor replied. "Do not worry fair Jane; the Asgardians will love you as much as Mother and Father do."

Jane nodded nervously, her palms beginning to sweat. She had never suffered from stage fright before, but she never had to walk in front of large crowds of people focused on her. 'I'm gonna be sick,' she thought nervously, pressing a hand to her stomach.

Thor kissed Jane quickly as he heard Odin's booming voice call him, walking into the hall to the cheers of his people. 'How are they going to react to me?' Jane wondered. 'No one knows me besides Thor's parents, Sif and the Warriors Three.' She moved closer to the doors, listening to Odin's voice.

"At long last, my son has finally chosen a bride. A most worthy female to wed my son and become the next queen of Asgard. Her intelligence knows no bound, her beauty beyond compare, her grace and kindness unmatched in all the nine realms," Odin proclaimed, causing Jane to blush slightly. "I present to you all Lady Jane Foster of Midgard."

Two guards swung the doors open, revealing a packed hall to Jane's eyes. She felt her stomach drop into her feet as she looked back at the staring, curious people, the hall falling silent. 'This is bad,' she thought, staying rooted to the spot. She looked to the very end of the hall, her eyes locking onto Thor's smiling face as he sat on the stairs of the raised platform. Taking a deep breath, Jane took her first step into the hall, the sound of her heels against the stone floor sounding like a gunshot. Despite her nervousness she forced herself forward, her eyes trained on Thor as a smile formed on her face. People began to clap, the sound startling her slightly. The applause grew, the noise bouncing off the high ceilings until it sounded like thunder within the hall.

Thor rose to his feet as Jane reached him, taking her hand in his and kissing her knuckles softly. No matter how many times Thor did it, the gesture always made her blush. He led her to the top of the staircase, standing beside his mother and father. The applause slowly died down, the people smiling at the royal family and its newest member.

"While we are celebrating Thor's betrothal to Jane Foster tonight, there is a second joyous occasion to be celebrated," Odin said, smiling broadly. "Lady Jane and Thor are to have a babe!"

'These awkward silences really need to stop,' Jane thought, as the hall grew silent again. The audiences' eyes widened, going from Jane and Thor to Jane's stomach. After a moment applause and shouts of joy filled the hall, making Jane relax. 'As long as there's noise I guess everything's okay.'

"Tonight we shall celebrate as we have never before!" Odin exclaimed. "To Lady Jane and the babe!"

"We feast!" Thor shouted.
