Hey readers, it's your favorite ninja of the night here with a few announcements. I might not be able to post a new chapter tomorrow for you guys. Me and my besties are going out for tea to celebrate my 20th birthday early. It's going to be wonderful: british tea, fancy dresses, fascinators, the works. Second thing, you guys may or may not remember when i said many chapters ago that i would only go until the Asgardian wedding is over because i dont think i have enough ideas to write for jane's entire pregnancy. That rule still stands, but i'm gonna have a bunch of epilogue chapters that kinda flash forward in the pregancy, just bits and pieces. So expect like...three epilogue chapters, possibly more. And finally, i wanna give a big thank you to my bestie, Katie for designing the fabulous dresses Jane and Frigga wear. That all for now readers, hope you enjoy the chapter.

Thor fidgeted with his cape as he stood in front of his mirror, checking his reflection. He felt as nervous as he had for the wedding on Earth, a fluttering sensation filling his stomach. 'By the gods, should it not be impossible to feel this nervous after being married once already?' he thought, running a hand through his blonde hair. A quiet knock at the door immediately ceased Thor's fidgeting as he tried to display a sense of calm he didn't feel. "Who goes there?" Thor said as he opened his door to an empty hallway. "Show yourself!" He called his hammer to him, prepared for a sudden attack.

"Thor, it is I," Loki whispered.

"Brother? Where are you?" Thor said, moving from the doorway. He felt a gentle breeze go by him before he shut his door, assuming Loki had entered his room. "How have you made yourself invisible?"

"If my magic couldn't at least do that much, then I have wasted my life and studies away," Loki replied cockily, withdrawing his magic to allow Thor to see him.

"I gladdens my heart that you are here, Brother," Thor said, wrapping Loki in one of his infamous bone-crushing hugs.

"Thor, I demand that you release me this instant," Loki said indignantly, worried Thor might accidently crack one of his ribs. Sometimes Thor didn't know his own strength.

"I am sorry, Brother, but words cannot describe how happy I am to see you here," Thor replied, smiling broadly as he released Loki and took a step back. "To have you witness my union with Jane fills me with joy; I shall have all of my family present."

"How did you know I wouldn't just use this as a chance to escape?" Loki questioned.

"I did not know," Thor said with a shrug. "I hoped you would come home, but I could not know for certain. I only had faith in you."

"And how do you know I won't escape after the wedding? That I won't run away and leave Asgard? You're willing to put your entire future in jeopardy for a hope?" Loki asked incredulously.

"Despite all that has happened, all of the mayhem and distance between us, you are still my brother even if you deny it. You do not need to be blood in order to be family," Thor said, placing his hands on Loki's shoulder. "I would risk everything for you, Brother. That has not changed since we were children and I broke the nobleman's son's nose in your defense. I shall always stand by you, always believe in you, always trust in you. Your mind may have been clouded by unhappy emotions, perhaps I am to blame for that, but your heart remains as pure as it has always been," Thor said seriously. "I put my complete faith in you."

"You are a fool," Loki muttered, unable to stand the sincerity that shone from Thor's bright blue eyes.

"And you are my family."


"When the music begins, the doors of the great hall will open; that is when you enter," Frigga instructed Jane as they walked down the hall. Jane was still in awe of Frigga's dress, unable to stop staring at it. The fabric seemed to be molded to her curves, accentuating her flawless figure. The outer layer of her dress faded from red at her shoulders, into orange at her waist and finally becoming yellow as it reached her toes. The inner layer that could be seen followed the same color scheme, but in the opposite order, beginning with yellow and ending with red. An intricate gold belt, much like the one she wore, held the dress together. The dress belonged in a museum; it really was art. "I must leave you now, Daughter," Frigga said, squeezing Jane's hand reassuringly. "You will be wonderful."

"It's just you and me kiddo," Jane murmured, rubbing her stomach gently. She felt as if the nervous butterflies fluttering around her stomach would overwhelm her and prayed she wouldn't have to face a bout of morning sickness as she stood in front of all of Asgard. 'That would be my luck,' she thought dryly. 'I've done this once; I can do this again.'


Thor felt his stomach drop as he watched his mother enter the great hall, his nervousness amplifying. 'Jane will be walking through those doors soon.'

"Nervous?" Loki whispered, placing a hand on Thor's shoulder. With his invisibility and the din of the assembled Asgardians, Loki doubted anyone would notice his presence as he stood beside Thor as an unknown spectator.

"I must admit, yes. I am nervous, but I am quite excited. I cannot wait to see Jane," Thor whispered softly.

"Well you won't have to wait much longer," Loki replied as the harps began to play.

Jane took a deep breath as the tall wooden doors swung open, revealing a packed hall. She could see Odin, Frigga, and Thor standing on an upraised platform at the end of the hall, Odin and Frigga facing her while Thor faced away from her. A soft gasp ran through the crowd as they looked at Jane. She wore a long sleeved, v-neck dress, held together with a gold belt similar to Frigga's. The bodice of her dress was a royal blue that lightened slightly as the colors changed to purple at the hem. Her dress looked like twilight immortalized.

"Wait until you see her, Brother," Loki whispered to Thor, in awe himself of Jane's beauty.

Thor resisted the urge to turn around to see Jane, fighting back his impatience. He knew it would only take a minute for Jane to reach him; he just had to wait a little longer.

Jane smiled brightly as she walked through the hall, blushing slightly as the Asgardians bowed to her. Most of the faces were unfamiliar to her, with the exception of Sif and the Warriors Three who stood in the front. She slowly ascended the steps of the platform, being careful not to step on the hem of her dress and fall. Finally she stood beside Thor, her heart bursting with happiness.

Thor turned toward Jane, his eyes widening in awe as he looked at her. "Jane Foster, you are the most beautiful person to have ever existed in all the nine realms. I shall be eternally in awe of your unsurpassable beauty," Thor said softly.

"Are you ready?" Odin asked.
