Loki's dreamer: The Devian idea I've been waiting to get out for a while. More things to come though so be prepared for a bumpy ride.

That One NPC: glad to hear you love my stories. :) as much as I love Seraphina I dunno if I'll write about her. If I did it wouldn't be fan fiction. I have no character in Thor or the avengers I can see her with.

Sidney loves fiction: you're welcome! Emotional dollar coaster is what I was going for!

Sorceress of the trees: oh my god. I hope this doesn't continue on for more then another month or two. Lol. There is only so many things I can do with this and I still have other stuff I want to write. Hehe

Doctor Loki love: I'm sorry I feel through for a few things. To be honest there was so much more content in my first draft before it crashed and I lost it. At that point I was frustrated and I didn't add all I wanted to. :( I hope this next chapter hold a nice balance. My mood is much better today and no hiccups.

Max is a chick name: no pouring out of tragedy. Though I do have other stuff planned for the family. Figuring out the 'bad guy' is the finest part. I'll be proud of anyone who can figure it out though I won't ever confirm or deny it until I make the reveal. But there is still lots of time to get an idea of the culprit. :p

Poodle warriors: glad the jump was not to overpowering. Happy you are still able to read the fic even with the bad things that have been happening.

Chapter 77: Mechanova

This was an outrage. Loki was pacing the bedroom while Cephera finished say goodnight to the twins. Cephera was still feeling guilt over not stopping Devian from going to the beach and loki was feeling red hot anger to find out, from his sons own mouth, that someone had tried to drown him.

Loki didn't doubt it was the same person who poisoned his wife. How Devian survived was a mystery. When Heimdell used his sight the boy was already on the sands and breathing.

Loki could only conclude that either someone interrupted the person responsible or that the person responsible stopped and changed theirs mind which he doubted. And if someone had seen what was going on where were they now? Why hadn't they come forward. They would be honoured for saving a prince of Asgard.

Loki had a theory that perhaps that person was dead at the hands of this villain and before they could finish off his son his wife and Heimdell arrived. But all this was but speculation. There was no way to know for sure what happened or why.

Devian had bruises on the back on his neck from the force by which he was held down. The sight of them only served to enrage Loki more. The sooner they got the kids off Asgard with their mother the better. He was sending them away tomorrow while he stayed behind to look into these new events. He would join them once he was done.

Loki had been ecstatic over the news of Cephera being with child again. So much so he hadn't thought that his current children would be in danger and all his worry had been placed toward her and their unborn child. Now he saw the error in that thinking.

No one was safe until this fiend was found. Thor had forgone his regular visits to his human lover just to help Loki question the population closest to the beaches in search of the mystery person who may have saved his son. Any information was welcome.

It made Loki annoyed that questions was all he still had and all he would have. Whoever was stalking his family was being very careful. Sometimes he wondered if it was more then one person. Perhaps people who are unhappy that he was now a free and happy man after the unrest his traitorous past had caused all those many years ago. And then there was always Cally. She sat in his mind as a suspect but then at this point everyone was a suspect.

He had not seen nor heard from his old lover and neither had Cephera. Loki had plans to see her. He would make it clear to her if she was behind any of it she would pay dearly.

Loki stopped pacing when Cephera entered their room and closed the doors quietly behind her. She hadn't stopped shaking since the incident happened a day ago. Devian had no permanent damage and was allowed back to his own room after he woke.

Loki allowed her to come to him instead of him to her. She pressed her entire self to him and he folded her into his embrace. "It seems like it was only a short while ago life had been so carefree and without worries for you and I." She whispered. "I wish those days could return so that we could live happily with our children."

"As do I." Loki replied. "Everything is set for tomorrow." He told her.

"Kat is nervous." Cephera said trying to be amused but failing.

"Afraid of your sister?" Cephera nodded a smile tugging at her lips but not quite making it. "Foolishness. She should have no fear after all the things I have taught her. She could have an equal fight with your sister now I'm sure." He chuckled. The thought of the two woman fighting was an amusing one.

Cephera stepped back and removed her gown. Her belly had yet to take on any real shape but there was a slight bump. Loki had worried she would never have children after her last pregnancy. She had shared those worries. He had not expected her to retreat to Midgard in a search for answers and as much as he hated that she had gone he was also glad.

For some reason this pregnancy was different. Her magic was just as tiring and weak as it always was, morning sickness was a daily thing, her breast were tender and she forbid Loki to touch them. Neither of her other pregnancies had these problems. It was different. He was eager to see what the fates would produce this time. A boy or a girl, it still didn't matter but it didn't stop his curiosity.

"Bathe with me." She ordered him softly. He obliged and followed her. She was the first in and when he followed and settled himself down she waded over to him and straddled his hips. "As worried and as sad as I am for the happenings of the last couple of days, I will not see you for a while once I leave tomorrow. I will not be parted from you without feeling you inside me." As she spoke she was grinding herself down across his already hardened length.

He'd thought of this situation before he had entered the bath. He was not surprised at her neediness. He had created this sexual creature who was now nipping and kissing his neck and shoulder. Every inch of her that cried out for his touch he had trained to respond to him and only him. She'd developed her own sometimes seemingly unquenchable appetite and he loved every ounce of it.

He couldn't think of a time she turned him down and aside from the time he had given her that damned potion he had not denied her. Loki wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled them up from the water. He turned her and bent her to place her hands on the stoney edge. She looked over her shoulder her hair still pinned up.

Loki quickly unfastened her hair to tumbled down around her just how he liked it most. He tickled his fingers across her side making her shift in a light giggle at the touch. He bent down and kissed her tailbone and then trailed the kisses upward. His hand slid into her hair and as he reached her shoulder he pulled her head back by that very handful and kissed her neck. She turned her head as much as possible in his grip and he claimed her lips.

The kiss was quick to turn hot and raw with passion. All worries disappearing for now while he used his other hand to guide his length to her and with one heavy push she cried out in pleasure against his lips and he sighed at her warmth surrounding him.

He didn't slow. He steadily moved in and out his hand keeping her head titled back so he could hear her sighs and moans and see her parted lips and closed eyes. Each facial expression she made to his moves spurred him on. He enjoyed watching her anticipation as he stilled his cock just inside her entrance before he would thrust his hips hard inward and she would cry out again with a smile.

He did this at random intervals so she could never tell when he was going to tease her. He had no need to rush this and he had no want to. She was right he would be a while in Asgard before he joined her. And no matter how much he encouraged her she refused to take pleasure of her own doings.

She would touch herself to rile him up but she never would do so on her own. She said she enjoyed letting the tension build up until she saw him again. He liked her control. She was usually a bit of an animal if left too long and sometimes he left her that way just to see the animal.

Loki grunted when she jammed her hips backward to grind him into her. In return he pulled back and jolted in hard and she mewled her pleasure of it. Loki let her hair go and pulled out. She whined a moment and turned. He sat her down where her hands had once been bracing and he used his arm around her waist to keep her from falling backward.

He entered her again her legs gripping his hips. His movements a little restrained from the new position but he made do. He wanted to be face to face with her when he came, when she came.

"Come for me darling." He said pressing his free hand between them to play along her clit. She moaned and locked her eyes on his as he often asked her to do. With his steady hand and his throbbing cock working her she wasn't long peeking to her highest pleasure and then bursting into her orgasm crying out his name and gripping him with her hands.

He enjoyed the feeling of her walls squeezing him and he pounded harder letting go his patience and allowing himself to cum. He groaned as he waited out his own release while she slowly receded from hers.

She pulled herself closer to him so her breasts were pressed to his chest and she kissed him. "Soon you won't be able to watch me as you fuck me." She told him. He knew what she referred to. Her belly would soon protrude enough to stop this nearness they had now. He didn't mind. He kissed her again and slipped back down into the water carrying her with him.

Cephera arrived in Mechanova with both kids beside her and Kat lagging behind. Kat was not thrilled with having to spend so much time with Seraphina when the princess was very obvious in her dislike for her.

Cephera had made her sister promise to be a little nicer or at least to keep her thoughts to herself and not insult her friend while they were there. But Cephera had no doubt that wouldn't last long. They did have at least six months before the baby was due.

"Grandpa!" The twins shouted happily running toward Cephera's father. He easily grabbed both up into his large frame in a bear hug.

"You're getting so big!" He said beaming a smile at them.

"You say that every time you see us." Diana giggled as he put them back down.

"That doesn't make it any less true." He pointed out. Cephera gave her sister a hug and Seraphina gave a very stiff nod to Kat who tried her best to show the proper respect back. Kat didn't have anything against Seraphina but it was Seraphina's attitude that made Kat uneasy.

Cephera walked next to her father. "You remember what I told you." She warned him.

"Yes daughter, have no worries. I will contain myself while the children are around." He said patting her head.

Cephera had sent a letter a head of time telling her father that he was to be on his best behaviour. No getting drunk, no fornicating in public and no cursing. She also warned her sister about the crude cursing. She loved her family but she really didn't want her children subjected to everything they had to offer. She had yet to tell them about Devian.

She decided she would do so after dinner. Right now everyone was smiling and she hated to ruin the mood.
