Chapter 6: Pregnancy processes and symptoms

Amber POV:

Ever since Loki told me that I was pregnant with our firstborn, his boobs were gone though, some of the things that happened were that I constantly ran to the bathroom every morning to throw up, and it kept going due to the smell of certain foods, I was tired all the time, and my breasts were even sore and tender to the touch not to mention bigger than before, and not forgetting the constant peeing that occurred. Now, it had been I think 7 weeks since we first found out about the baby, and my husband was over the moon about this, and I could do some stuff, as long as it didn't involve climbing or bending down to grab something from the floor or doing anything dangerous, according to Loki. I hated lying on our bed, looking helpless all day long, I could do some stuff fine, and the baby would be protected, but no, he was the protective daddy and he wanted our baby safe. Loki had been out and about doing lord knows what, and I got up and grabbed a book from somewhere, wanting to read since he was out and I was bored, but I dropped it in the process, so I bent down to get it, and I heard a familiar stern voice call out to me. "Amber, what are you doing?" he asked angry yet calm. I turned and there he was, arms crossed and foot tapping, his angry expression still there, and he had his casual attire on. "I'm trying to get my book because I was bored, but I dropped it and I need to pick it up." I said trying to get my book. But, he picked me up, carrying me towards the bed, and laying me on there before going to get my book that I dropped. When he returned, I shifted so he was behind me, pulling me against him with one arm around me, and the other wrapped around my waist, his hand smoothing gently over my somewhat protruding belly, and pressing kisses along my shoulder, and his legs were somehow wrapped around mine. "You can't be doing anything that would harm the baby, my love. It's early now, but I don't want you to hurt yourself." He said still smoothing over my belly. I groaned, exasperated by his protectiveness, but I guess it was part of the 'Jotun mating aspects' that had been in him for who knows how long. I turned to him, with an annoyed expression. "You know we would need to visit a doctor to check on the baby, right?" I asked. "Wife, you know what will happen should they find out about this." He said tightening his hold on me.

So, we were eating, well I was eating most of the food, while Loki sat there with a dreamy expression, probably about our baby and what our child would look like when it was born, god childbirth wasn't going to be fun at all! I wondered how I was going to tell them about what was happening with me, but it was going to be very delicate telling them about what was going on with me. So, as I was finished with my food, I was tired due to the pregnancy so I went to bed to sleep through another day of pregnancy, which in itself was somewhat of a blessing and a curse, blessing because I would have a child of my own, curse because I was afraid I might have to raise him or her by myself should something happen. I felt rustling and knew that it was Loki behind me, holding me tight and even hummed a little tune, trying to soothe me; I hoped everything would be fine. I wondered how my own best friend was going to handle this 'what-the-fucked-up scenario' that's happening with me; oh man it wasn't going to be pretty at all!

Loki POV:

7 weeks, what a blessing it has been, we were having one child, it all felt glorious. Sure, she was annoyed greatly about my protectiveness of her and our baby, but I wanted to make sure they were safe both safe from harm, it's natural for a father-to-be to feel that way when he finds out that he's having a son/daughter. I hoped that the morning sickness would pass; I was worried that she wasn't eating enough for herself and our baby. I was afraid of what would happen should the avengers and even Thanos find out about what happened, it made me shudder picturing what would happen if they found out about not only why I had to take her, but about her pregnancy as well….gods this was going to be tiring and complicated all at once. The next morning, she again ran to the bathroom to purge out the food from last night, her body still adjusting to the aspects of pregnancy. I certainly never expected that to happen, but it sealed the bond between both of us at least, I would never leave her or our firstborn child, no matter the cost or consequences. Eventually, the secret would have to be out and I would need to explain to everyone what had happened with me, but I would not allow them to harm my son/daughter or Amber, I would need to make sure of that.

She came out of the bathroom, stumbling around a little; the purging must be testing her strength and adaptation to her pregnancy. She came back to the bed, with careful positioning on my part, and she was so annoyed she was about to cry frustrated tears. "Ugh…when will this vomiting ever stop!? I know it's normal when it comes to pregnancy, but it's getting so annoying!" She complained. I tipped her head up so she faced me, and I had an expression like hers. "I know that it's not what you wanted, but it's part of pregnancy, you will have to be used to it and it even fades over time, so try and hang on for a few weeks longer and this morning sickness would be over before you would know what happened with you." I said rubbing the spot of where our bond was, trying to soothe her worries. "Well not only that, how in the hell am I going to explain all of this to everyone!? The second I tell them, stuff will go down, and it's not the good stuff!" she said while I was smoothing my hand over her belly, the baby was pretty much the size of a little bean or blueberry, I think, but he/she was in there. I pressed a little kiss to her forehead, comforting her about this pregnancy, which I figured she wasn't exactly prepared for, but I thought she looked divine carrying my child. After a few more minutes of comfort, I decided to get on up from the bed and find one of those books that she has with her, wondering what kinds of books does she even read in her spare time.

Thor POV:

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S TRAPPED ON ASGARD?!" That would be the panicked voice of Lady Carter's best friend, and my love, Jane Foster. "My Love, let me explain this carefully, ok?" I asked trying to get my heart to calm herself enough for me to speak. She was calm a little bit, but it was enough for me. "Because Loki is a frost giant, or a Jotun, sometimes the males need to have a mate or a wife, and they can tell that by smell. When we were at his sentencing, Loki kept sniffing around trying to look for something, and when Ambassador Carter tried to leave the place, Loki found her scent, took her away, and he claimed her as his own by now, and he can't be without her or take her, otherwise his instincts awaken, needing to reclaim her." I explained. "We have to do something! Director Fury must be flipped out about this by now!" she exclaimed, pacing around our room. "There's more: we think she has been here on earth twice, because we searched her apartment to find part of her possessions gone and even from her room at SHIELD, and even 'made love' on her bed. I think it's because he's nesting her somewhere." Thor continued while Jane was pulling her hair out, worried for her friend. "Where would that be, do something Thor, I'm worried about her, especially after you told me about your brother, Loki!" Jane said scared and frantic for her friend. I comforted her, saying that I was sure she was fine and that as his mate Loki would never harm her in any way. I hoped everything was alright between both of them and that they are getting along well in this trying time.

We came out of our room to talk with the others, they were still worried about Lady Carter and where she was, they were trying to get their worries away from them, only to not have that work out for them very well. "My friends, we must put our worries aside about Amber, he won't let any harm come to Lady Carter now that she is his wife, it's part of his Jotun heritage, you know." I said hoping to lift their spirits from this phase of worry. "Yeah, what's to say something seriously bad happens to her, what then?" Man of Iron asked. "I had said this before, my brother won't let any form of harm some to her, if that happens his instincts awaken, preparing to defend his wife from any who wish to do harm with her." I said crossing my arms. I hoped truthfully that everything was alright with her, that she's safe and sound somewhere either here on Earth or on Asgard.

Natasha POV:

7 weeks, Amber is still missing, Fury is freaked out about all this, and it was getting more and crazier by the minute. I was sparring in the gym for a little bit, trying to clear my head of my thoughts, what Thor said about Loki not allowing any harm to come to her now that she was 'his wife', it made me uneasy as to how she was handling the situation, although knowing her, she would be reasonable and calm about her situation. I desperately was hoping that there was a sign other than what Bruce found on her bed at SHIELD that she was still alive and well, something that could assure me that she was still alright and I would be happy, even for a few minutes. Clint walked in and started shooting his arrows at the designated targets throughout most of the gym, probably wanting to take his mind off of 7 weeks of worrying about Amber. "Clint, I know that this has been crazy for you, but I'm pretty sure she's doing alright, I just hope that she's not dead yet." I said hoping to comfort my teammate. "Yeah, but I still feel uneasy about how she's handling all of this, being the 'wife' of a crazy, psychotic god who tried to take over my planet and put that mind controlling shit on me while still at SHIELD." He said shooting some more arrows at the different targets. I often worry for him sometimes, but I know he takes care of himself.

Amber POV:

After a few hours of reading, with Loki behind me, I decided to use the bathroom due to my pregnancy, after relieving myself in the bathroom, I looked at the mirror standing at the side, and smoothed my hands over my somewhat bulging baby bump, I stared at myself in amazement and wonder. "I'm having a baby…good lord that is beautiful, yet so frightening at the same time…." I said to myself poking my belly, feeling a thickness in me, I figured that the baby by now was being protected from within my womb. I lifted my shirt up to see my belly, getting somewhat bigger, causing some tears to come out of my eyes, mostly because of the hormones, but it was the stress of being stuck at a place of norse mythology, and the required assignment of my boss that sparked where I was, 'married' for maybe around 2 months to a frost giant god who tried to take over my home, and I was expecting his baby, so naturally it was pretty goddamn stressful from my perspective. I must have been in the bathroom for a long time because when I open my eyes, I see Loki standing behind me, a look of worry and concern on his face. "You alright, you've been in the bathroom for a long time?" he asked holding me in his arms, trying to soothe me as I was trying to stop crying. "Yes, it's been stressful for me what's happened all this time, you know?" I said hoping he would understand. He squeezed me a little tight, being careful with the baby, pressing feather-light kisses along my shoulder, nipping at the point on my neck where it would drive me crazy, causing me to moan a little. He moved his hands to my swollen and huge breasts, squeezing them a little, causing milk to spurt out of them a little. Some of it got on his fingers, so he put them, to his mouth, sucking on them a little. "Mmm….exquisite taste, I will surely be jealous of our child when he or she feeds from you…." He said huskily, making me shiver when he took them out of his mouth with a pop….goddamn hormones, I was crying for some time, now I'm getting horny, sheesh this pregnancy thing is nuts!

We made love, with me being on top this time around, he didn't want to squish the baby while we were making love so that was understandable, but he didn't need to worry too much about me, but he was a father-to-be, so for him he had to be protective, which still annoys me to death. But even though I wasn't quite used to the bond or him yet, I found myself falling for him every day, it scares me though, but I need to start accepting him, and put him somewhere in my interests. After a while, I woke up, and put a butterfly-soft kiss on his cheek before getting up to go to the bathroom again, not only was this pregnancy thing was getting crazier by the minute, the situation itself was getting crazier too! How I was going to explain all of this to everyone, I hoped I would have the words and nerves for it because it was going to be quite difficult for me to sort out.

Tony POV:

7 weeks of Amber being missing, I wasn't happy that this happened, and I was especially not happy that Fury was the one who sent her up there in the first place anyway! Barton and Romanoff were called on a mission, so it was just Thor, Steve, Bruce, Pepper, and I. Steve was getting antsy, Thor was lying on my couch with his fingers rubbing his eyes, Bruce was watching some TV, and I was fixing myself a drink, when Pepper came in, seeing us look like that. "Hey, what's up with you guys?" she asked. Oh, boy it was going to be hard explaining this to Pepper, but as I was doing it anyway, she was horrified by what I was telling her, with some help from Thor of course. "What? You can't get her back or he goes crazy, wanting to retrieve and defend her from harm?" Pepper exclaimed, taking in the news, so Steve decided on a museum, just to kind of clear our minds of the stress, again.
