Jane stifled a yawn as she shifted in bed, pulling Thor's arm around her. She was absolutely exhausted, her feet still aching, but she was blissfully happy. The wedding reception lasted into the early hours of the morning, the dancing ending as the slightest hint of sunlight began to color the horizon. The wedding was an absolute success. Everyone enjoyed themselves, even stoic Fury seemed to have some fun as everyone drank and danced the night away. Frigga and Odin were the first to leave in the late hours of the evening, going back to Asgard to relieve Heimdall of his watch. Phil and Fury left after them, heading back to S.H.I.E.L.D. The Avengers group stayed on the roof, enjoying the music JARVIS provided. Jane was surprised by how much the guys actually danced; she expected them to refuse to dance more than they absolutely had to. However they seemed to enjoy dancing almost as much as the girls, laughing and joking around.
"Good morning," Thor murmured sleepily, brushing his lips against the back of her neck. "Have you slept well?"
"I slept alright," Jane replied, running her fingertips along his muscled arm. "I was exhausted from all the partying."
"What hour is it?"
"It's just after twelve," Jane replied breathlessly as Thor began to kiss her neck slowly.
"It is still early," Thor said seductively, pulling her closer. "Let's spend a bit more time in bed."
"Ah the happy couple emerges," Tony said, raising a cup of coffee as Thor and Jane walked into the living room. "Just in time for lunch."
"Good day to you all," Thor said to the group gathered in the living room.
"Family lunch?" Jane asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Something of the sort," Natasha replied. "There's a platter of sandwiches in the kitchen if you guys are hungry."
"Of course they're hungry; they've been in their room the entire time having s-"
"Anthony Stark, do not finish that sentence," Pepper said coldly, causing Clint, Bruce and Steve. "Leave Thor and Jane alone."
"If I ever get into a fight I want Pepper on my side," Darcy laughed. "She'd scare off anyone."
"When are you guys heading to Asgard?" Bruce asked as Thor and Jane sat on the couch, holding plates of food.
"We shall return home this evening. The wedding shall be held in two days time," Thor replied.
"Yeah, I have to go and learn all about Asgardian weddings," Jane said.
"Well you have Frigga to help you at least; she seems like a nice enough woman," Steve replied. "And you're a quick learner."
"This will be the last "family" day before you two are married again. This calls for a movie," Tony said as the others groaned.
"Seriously Stark, two movie days in one month might be too much," Clint said, tossing a pillow at Tony.
"Calm down Katniss, I won't even pick the movie. We'll just watch whatever's on TV," Tony replied, flipping through the channels. An argument ensued over almost every movie before they finally settled on Lilo and Stitch.
"We're really gonna watch a kid movie?" Natasha asked dryly.
"It was the only thing everyone could agree on," Bruce said, shrugging his shoulders. Silence settled over the group as they ate their sandwiches and watched Stitch discover his own "ohana."
"That was a marvelous movie indeed," Thor said as he and Jane arrived in Asgard. "The alien Stitch is a loyal warrior." Even hours after the movie had ended, Thor could not stop talking about "the strange blue creature," declaring the Avengers as his ohana.
"I think we'll have to have a Disney movie night," Jane said, slipping her hand into his. "I'm sure there are other movies you would enjoy."
"Good day to you Heimdall," Thor said, waving at the man. "How do you fare?"
"I am well Thor," Heimdall replied. "Lady Jane, it is good to see you once again. Your wedding last evening was a most beautiful thing to behold."
"Thank you," Jane replied, smiling.
"Jane looked more beautiful than any star in the sky; she puts them all to shame," Thor said, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Is Mother in the palace?"
"Yes, she is quite busy with wedding preparations," Heimdall replied. "Two days is not much time to prepare."
"We're here to help her now," Jane said.
"Oh wow," Jane said breathlessly as they walked into the palace. Bolts of red and blue cloth hung from the walls, their vibrant colors catching her eye. Garlands of flowers hung from the high ceiling, swaying in an unfelt breeze. Servants rushed through the hallways, bowing quickly to greet Jane and Thor before rushing back to their task. "Your mom doesn't leave out any detail huh?"
"A royal wedding is a rare occasion; I believe the last wedding to be had was Mother and Father's," Thor replied. "The people are quite excited to see who will be the next queen."
"Let's hope I live up to expectations," she said nervously.
"You will be a splendid queen, Jane."
"Thor, where's the nearest bathroom?" Jane asked suddenly.
"Through that door there, why?" His words had barely left his lips when Jane sprinted forward, opening and slamming the door quickly behind her. Thor rushed forward, his brow wrinkling with worry. There was nothing he wanted more than this child with Jane, but he hated seeing her sick and not being able to help her. The only thing he could do at this point was be there for her when she needed him.
"Jane, Thor, good day to you," Frigga said as they walked into the throne room.
"Hello Mother, Father," Thor replied.
"Jane dear, are you well?" Odin asked, taking in her pale complexion and tired eyes. She leaned heavily against Thor's side, as if she was too exhausted to stand on her own.
"The babe has made her ill recently," Thor said worriedly. "She is quite tired from it."
"I'll be okay, don't worry about it," Jane replied, waving off Thor's comment. She felt like absolute crap, but she didn't want everyone worrying over her.
"I remember when I was pregnant with Thor, I was quite sick for the first few weeks. Naught would remain in my stomach. Go rest in Thor's room, I shall have a servant bring you some tea to ease your stomach. Hopefully you shall feel well by supper," Frigga said.
"It's okay really; you don't need to do all that," Jane protested halfheartedly.
"Nonsense. You are my daughter now, I will care for you in the same manner I have cared for Loki and Thor," Frigga replied, smiling gently.
"There is no debating with Mother," Thor said, sweeping Jane into his arms. "She is right; you require rest. We shall retire until supper."
"I'll be back later to help with wedding planning," Jane called over Thor's shoulder as he strode out of the room.
