"Wh-what?" Loki sputtered in shock. Loki always had something to say, a snide remark forever perched on his tongue; for him to be shocked into silence was indeed a rare occasion. For him to be silenced by his brother was even more shocking. Thor laughed as he watched his brother's shocked expression since it wasn't often seen. "You are what?" Loki asked, dumbfounded.

"Jane shall not have the babe for many months yet; her stomach shows no hint of roundness yet," Thor replied. "But I would like you to be there when the babe is born, brother. I want you to be part of our babe's life; you would make a most wonderful uncle. The babe shall delight in your company."

"I'm not sure Lady Jane would want a convicted criminal who tried to take over her home world around her child," Loki said bitterly.

Thor froze for a moment; he had never heard Loki call Jane Lady Jane. He rarely referred to her at all but when he did, he only ever called her the Midgardian or his woman. "You are wrong, brother. Tis Jane who encouraged me to come visit you today and tell you of the joyous news; she would be most glad to have your presence in our child's life."

"We shall see brother; there are still many months yet," Loki replied, picking up one of the books Thor had brought him and opening it, effectively ending their conversation.

Thor smiled as Loki opened up his book, walking to the doorway. "I shall visit you again brother," Thor said, looking back to see Loki nod at him, his only response.

Loki looked up from his book as the door closed behind Thor, leaving him alone once again. "Uncle," he said softly as if testing out the word. "Uncle."

"Uh oh," Tony said as he walked into the living room, his eyes landing on the stack of wedding magazines sitting on the coffee table.

"What?" Pepper asked, looking up from her magazine as Jane and Natasha merely glanced at him.

"Is my house going to turn into wedding central? Because I don't want any bridezilla temper tantrums- no offense Jane."

"None taken; you're the only one who throws temper tantrums anyway," Jane retorted.

"At least I don't turn into a big green angry monster," Tony replied.

"I heard that!" Bruce shouted from the kitchen. "I'll remember that next time you're stuck on your latest invention."

"See now you've all gone and gotten me in trouble," he said, narrowing his eyes as he glared at the girls. "Bruce, you know I adore you and your huge, hulking rage monster you keep bottled inside."

"Don't they have the cutest bromance?" Jane laughed, flipping through a magazine.

"When do you want to have the wedding?" Natasha asked.

"I'm not sure," Jane replied. "Thor and I haven't really gotten a chance to discuss it; I don't know if there's any Asgardian traditions about when you can have a wedding."

"Where is the herbal essences model anyway?" Tony asked, plopping on the couch next to Pepper.

"He's visiting Loki."

"Heart as golden as his hair," Tony muttered.

"Not everyone's heart is made out of metal, Stark," Natasha replied.

"Well whenever you two pick a date, we can start planning the wedding," Pepper said, going into assistant mode. "We'll have to find you a hall, a florist, caterer, photographer; oh we should probably go wedding dress shopping soon, you don't want to wait until the last second to do that."

"Pepper, I just want a small wedding," Jane laughed. "Nothing too extravagant, just the Avengers, Darcy and Doctor Selvig. Maybe Odin and Frigga will come too with the Warriors Three and Sif. Something small, intimate."

"Why don't you have it here?" Tony suggested. "You could do it on the roof top. We'll get it decorated; JARVIS can handle all the photography, lighting and music. It's conveniently located. Who else can say they got married on top of Stark Towers?"

"That actually sounds great, thanks Tony," Jane said appreciatively, smiling at him.

"Who doesn't have a heart?" Tony said to Natasha.

Natasha rolled her eyes at him as Clint walked into the living room. "Hey, be my wedding date?" she asked.

"Sure," Clint replied, sitting on the couch. "When's the wedding?"

"Not sure yet," Jane laughed. "Soon probably. Within the next month, maybe sooner."

"Well when you get your dress let me know and I'll get a tie to match you," Clint told Natasha.

"How cute, the assassins in matching outfits. It'll be just like prom," Tony teased. Natasha's retort was cut off as they heard a peal of thunder, all of their eyes looking toward the ceiling. "Gotta say, Goldilocks knows how to make an entrance."

"Greetings friends!" Thor said as he walked into the living room. "How do you and the babe fare?" he asked Jane, kissing her softly.

"We're alright," Jane replied. "Didn't let me keep breakfast down, but otherwise good."

"You must allow your mother to eat, young one," Thor said, resting his palm on Jane's stomach. "You both require sustenance."

"You guys are just too cute," Pepper laughed. "Thor, we were just talking about the wedding; when do you want to have it?"

"Soon, perhaps next week," Thor replied.

"Whoa that is soon," Steve said as he walked into the living room, drying his hair with a towel.

"Would that be enough time for you?" Thor asked Jane.

"Yeah, a week is perfect for me," she replied. "I'll have to go into crazy wedding planning mode, but we can totally get it done. We'll have the wedding here at Stark Towers."

"We shall have to invite Friend Darcy and Solveig to join us for the momentous celebration," Thor said.

"I think we're going to need to make a list," Pepper said, taking out her phone.

"We're gonna need to educate Thor on Earth weddings," Steve replied. "There's a lot he doesn't know."

"We shall have the Midgardian wedding and then we shall have an Asgardian wedding," Thor said happily.

"I can feel the hangover already," Tony said. "Make sure you bring some of that mead from last time; that was a barrel full of fun."
