Chapter 15

"Thor!" Loki calls from across the store. When my gaze travels from the stuffed dog, I find they stare up at a highchair.

With a frown, I step over to them and ask "What do you need?" he points up and I frown "Do you want me to get the chair down?"

He gives an annoyed look, before reminding "It's best for me not to get it down and you can't expect Natasha or Frigga to get it down."

As I place the box down, an employee walks over and motions between Loki and I "Are you expecting?"

Loki nods, before explaining "Our second. We've got a crib already, but their are a few things we don't have."

She turns to Natasha and asks "Are you the surrogate?"

Natasha looks taken aback and Loki cuts in "No, that's the aunt." Natasha looks at him in shock and Loki explains falsely "The surrogate isn't here, but the grandmother is."

The employee looks towards Frigga, before asking "Well, what can I help you with this morning?"

When we get back to the compound, Loki sits at the bar as Rogers makes supper "How was your day?" Rogers asks.

"It went well, Steve." Loki states as he leans forward on the bar. Steve hums as he stirs something.

After watching Loki smirk mischievously, I follow his gaze to find he stares at Steve's ass. When he crosses his legs, I nudge him "Loki?"

He hums, before getting one last look and turning to me "What?" I give an annoyed look and he takes my hand "Come on."

Silently, he leads me into our room and I ask "Why were you staring at Rogers's ass?" I huff and he crosses his arms.

"Because he sexy." Loki states, before shrugging "And I'm horny, okay? I'm hormonal, because I'm knocked up!"

I give a confused look, before asking "Do you want to have sex?" he groans, before pinching the bridge of his nose "What do you want?"

He holds his hands and in annoyance "I just want to be held, okay? My feet hurt, and I want a nap."

With a shrug, I comply "I can nap." he raises his eyebrow at me and I nod "We can take a nap, together."

He presses his lips into a fine line, before stripping from his clothes in sliding into bed. When I start to slide in after him, he stops me "Thor, you sleep naked."

"I'm just napping." I remind and he gives a weak smile. With a sigh, I strip from my clothes and slide back in.

As soon as I'm in bed, Loki rests his head on my shoulder. His hair lays over my arms and he skims over the top of my nipple with his thumb "I think it would be very hot to fuck you."

I scoff at his boldness "I think you're very hormonal." he gocks and I rub my hand over his upper arm "If you want to experiment, we can experiment."

He yawns, before looking up to me "After a nap."

There's a knock on the door, waking Loki and I. Silently, Loki rolls over me and walks over to the door.

When he opens it, Loki rubs his eyes "We fell asleep. What time is it?"

"Eight. Food is ready." Natasha whispers, before clearing her throat "Listen, I need to talk to you. Please?"

He nods and grabs a shirt, before answering "What do you need to talk about?"

She motions for him to follow her and he does. Silently, I get dressed and join everyone in the dinning room.

As Stark places the salad bowl on the table, he frowns "Where's Natasha and Loki?" I shrug, as does he "They'll come soon enough."

When they join, I notice Natasha has been crying, and Loki has a pleased smile on his face. "What's wrong?" I ask as he sits.

He shakes his head, before whispering "I'll tell you later." I give a confused look and he whispers "Aunt Nat is excited about being Aunt Nat."

A small smile spreads across my face and I whisper "They've become like family over the past few days, haven't they?"

He thinks for a moment, before asking "Well, did you connect with anyone in the past few days?"

I look towards Frigga, who speaks to Banner and Rogers about our soul forge and how we get the blood out of our clothing.

On the day that Loki was gone, I spent time with the boys, leaning their games and finding out how shitty their alcohol is.

When I nod, he nudges Frigga and she hums. He whispers something to her and she smiles at him.

Frigga turns to the table and speaks up "Before we eat, I'd like to say something." Stark stops mid bite and puts his fork down.

Frigga looks to Thor and I and explains "For the past millenium, I've watched my boys grow together. Best friends, and a match to be reconned with."

Her fingers slide over Loki's cheek as she continues "Centuries ago, I noticed something more than friendship between the two. I've done just about everything to get my boys together."

She scoffs and nudges Loki "And even after they were married, they didn't share love between one another."

Loki presses his lips together and declares "Frigga, you're rambling."

She rolls her eyes and smiles, before resuming "It wasn't until you four locked them in a room together that they finally embraced they're feelings and gave me another grandchild!"

She looks to the four and explains "In our tradition, you're either family or foe! I expect you to be at the birth of my grandchild! All of you, aunt and uncles!"

Rogers and Banner agree, but Stark remarks "So, we were there at conception, making us instant family?"

"I thought it was weird too." Loki states, before shrugging "Our family is rather blended. Few Asgardians, an Vanaheimian, a few mortals, and a deformed giant."

I shrug, before smirking "A grand family."
