A/N: Wedding #1

The Avengers, Loki, Iron Man, or anything of the like. Just the thoughts inside my head. And taking some personal freedoms with mythology and lore.


"Now, just remember," Tony looked at Rhodey as he held Eindride, "if he cries then Loki will of course blame you."

"Thanks Tony," Rhodey snorted and shook his head as he bounced the three month old in his arm. "I've held a baby before, and this little guy and I will get along just fine." Eindride blinked a little, chewing on a big plastic ring.

"The best man and the ring bearer, how adorable." Pepper snapped a picture of the two of them.

"And my Matron of Honor," Tony grinned wrapping an arm around her. "I feel like I should be on my best behavior or else I'll see these pictures tomorrow night."

"Oh, I don't need anymore pictures for that," she grinned. "The address for the press will be released to them in a couple of hours, after rehearsal is over, so by then we should all be out of here."

Tony nodded and blinked when something grabbed onto the back of his legs. He heard Pepper bite back a coo as he turned to see Emma holding onto his leg, in her gold flower girl dress. "Hey, Flower, did you get your dress?"

"Yup! Kaia helped me!" She giggled and Tony heard Pepper taking more pictures. "Hi Uncle Rhodey!"

"Hey, pupcake." He grinned at her.

"Why don't you go show Dad your dress?" Tony picked her up, giving her a sloppy kiss on the cheek. "He has Fenrir." She nodded and started to hop off into the main hall where Loki, Thor and Balder were.

"I'm gonna go get pictures of this," Pepper grinned.

"I'll come with you," Rhodey offered his arm, still holding Eindride. Tony watched them go then looked around the receiving area. He smiled when a pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders from behind.

"Getting nervous?" He kissed Kaia's arm and turned around.

"Me? I'm Tony Stark, I don't get nervous," he said as he started to dance with her.

"No, you have total freakouts," she smiled at him. "So I have a question to ask, about tomorrow." Tony hummed, nodding. "I was talking with Dad about it, too. I heard that you two talked about who was going to walk me down the aisle at my wedding, and no, he won't tell me who won, but it got me thinking. Daddy," she took his hands, "will you let me give you away at your wedding?" She grinned when she knew that she had caught him off guard.

"You want to give me away?" Kaia nodded, swinging his arms back and forth, like she used to do when she was little. Tony kissed her cheek and smiled. "I don't think there's anyone more suited for the job, baby."


Tony licked his lips and peeked through the edge of the door as Pepper walked into the hall with Emma. She was throwing red flower petals on the ground, making sure that covered everything. Pepper walked behind her in a floor length chiffon gown with a fitted bodice and one shoulder strap. He looked over and saw Rhodey holding onto Eindride who was in was in a little black tux with a green undershirt, while Rhodey wore black tux pants, and a green jacket over a white shirt and gold tie. Rhodey and Tony had had a staring contest after the big reveal.

Looking up he could see Loki in a black high neck tuxedo with a green tie that Tony had picked out. "What Are you wearing?" Tony turned and smiled at Kaia. He took her hands and turned her, letting her knee length gold dress flare out a little.

"Nothing as good looking as you, obviously." He kissed her cheek. Kaia reached out to adjust his golden tie that matched his pants, and looked him up and down. He wore his Chucks to match his brown double breasted waistcoat, and pulled his wool green jacket up a little. "I just wanted something a little different."

"I think I would have been shocked if you had looked normal." She took his arm and smiled. "Nervous yet?"

"I am so past nervous," he chuckled a little. "I mean, it's just a big party right? We've been together for two decades, and we've got three kids, and we're even bonded on a soul level. I became a God for him, but why do I feel like this is one of the biggest moments in my life?"

"Because it is," she chuckled. "Yes, you've done all those things, and I'm sure there will be more moments to come, but this is different. Those things you've done in the privacy of your own lives, for the most part. This is a public declaration, and the Starks don't do anything small, you are shouting from the rooftops that you're going to be with this crazy man for the rest of your lives, and you're going to throw a party for everyone else to see it happen.'

"Could you stop being so smart?" Tony squeezed her hand. "I'm trying not to feel like the woman in this wedding, and if you make me cry that won't happen." Kaia laughed and kissed his cheek.

"Come on, Daddy, time to get your megaphone out." Tony looked and hadn't even noticed when Rhodey had walked into the hall with his son. He grinned a little when he heard the small orchestra playing 'Shoot to Thrill.'

"This is our song, you know I at him for the first time to this song." Kaia snorted and grinned and started him walking. "He must have picked this out."

"This family has a wicked sense of humor," Kaia mumbled.

"Yes, we do sweetheart."


"You want to know what the best part of this reception is?" Tony had turned in his chair, leaning his back against Loki's arm as he sipped champagne.

"The food or the drinks?" Loki smirked a little.

"Neither, the fact that we don't have to watch our kids," Tony laughed. Their friends and family were taking turns gushing over Eindride, and Tony knew that he was keeping a close eye on him, and Emma was busy being a social butterfly. "All we have to do is make a quick visit to Eindride when it's been too long and he's happy. Eventually he'll go down for a nap-"

"Which Thor has offered to watch him for," Loki threw in.

"And Emma will soon follow." Tony clinked their glasses together. "Want to go see the cake before they bring it out?"

"Is it the same wonderfully eye pleasing color scheme you picked for our nuptials?" Loki smiled, leaning over to kiss him gently. Tony was pleased that Loki was very much into the public displays of emotions at their wedding.

"I think that you are going to Love it." He put his glass down then got up and grabbed Loki's hands. He led him around the back tables and through the bar trying not to be stopped by anyone. They went through the kitchen and headed for the side door.

"Was there a reason for taking this obscure way?" Loki raised an eyebrow then blinked when Tony pushed him up against the kitchen door, kissing him, rubbing the back of Loki's neck.

"Just an excuse to steal a kiss away from everyone." He grinned and opened the door. He pulled Loki through and they came out the back way to the cake. It was a three tier green cake with golden details that remind Loki of Asgard and New York at the same time. "Everyone is getting food, and soon we'll cut this, then dancing, and blah blah blah," he rolled his hand a little as he spoke. "Then we let your brother take the kids back to the Tower, and we are that much closer to getting a week, just to ourselves." Tony ran his hands up Loki's chest and Loki leaned forward, catching his bottom lip between his teeth.

"Stop teasing when there is still much to do with this reception," Loki growled against Tony's lips, smirking.

"Daaaaaaad," Emma hopped over, holding onto a little wooden box. "One of the elves gave this to me to give right to you." Loki raised an eyebrow looking at Tony, who only shrugged. "Well, what's inside?"

Loki opened the box and a small magenta butterfly flew out, leaving a trail of sparkles in the air. Both men tensed a little as Emma watched the butterfly with interest. Loki's head turned and he swore he caught a smirk as someone left. The butterfly had disappeared and Tony looked at Loki, protectively placing a hand on Emma's shoulder.

"It's fine," he said quietly, burning the box to ashes and wiping his hands, the ashes disappearing.

"I'll put JARVIS on to do 30 second sweeps, just in case." Tony rubbed Emma's shoulder and watched as she ran off to play with Jak's kids, sticking close to Gabby and her brothers. "You killed him, I saw you," Tony whispered, stepping closer to Loki as he looked around and saw that Eindride had fallen asleep in Pepper's arms, his face towards Tony and Loki, making sure he could see them before he fell asleep.

"That's why I'm not concerned. most likely one of his followers, just trying to start a bit of chaos," Loki took Tony's hand, rubbing the back of his hand with his thumb. "It's fine." Why didn't they feel fine, then?
