Avengers Compound:

The Avengers and Ivory entered the compound.

"Molly?" Peter called.

"Who's Molly?" Ivory asked

"My daughter. She's actually one of the strongest members of the team." Loki said

"Then why wasn't she in manhattan?"

"She's sick." Wanda said quickly

Peter was looking for her. 

"I think I know where she is." Wanda said, walking down the hall.

She stopped in her room and grabbed a small box before continuing on to Molly and Peter's room.

Molly was in the bathroom, sitting on thr floor by the toilet.

  "Take this." Wanda said handing her the box.

"A pregnancy test?" She asked

"You have all the symptoms."

She looked back.

"Quickly before Peter comes looking for us."

She walked out of the bathroom, shutting the door.

Back in the common area, Peter sat on the couch with Tony while the rest of the team and Ivory attacked the food Bucky had made before they left. He looked back at the hall, waiting for Molly.

"Is she okay?" He asked, spotting Wanda walking in.

Wanda smiled as her phone went off, a text from Molly.

"She's fine." She said "just not feeling the best. She'll be up in a minute."

Just as she said that, Molly walked into the common area. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He noticed his hand didn't reach where it normally did but ignored it.

   "You okay?" He asked

She nodded.

"I'm fine."

She relaxed into his chest, feeling a little better just being close to him.

"She's cute." Ivory whispered to Loki "Looks just like her father."

Loki smiled proudly. He watched as Ivory examined Molly and Peter interacting. Peter kissed Molly on her forehead and scooped her up, carrying her to the couch. He laid her down as he sat, her head in his lap as he played with her hair.

  "He's good to her?" Ivory asked

Her tone was sad, grief ridden even.

"Yeah." Loki whispered "Really good. He's good a kid."

Peter was watching Molly as she fell asleep in his lap. She seemed drained.

  "Are you sure she's okay?" He asked Wanda.

She nodded.

"She's fine." She promised. "Let her rest."

He nodded, standing and carrying her to the bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed and walked to bathroom. He didn't notice the capped test on the counter, not until he'd finished using the bathroom and went to wash his hands. He picked the test up, reading the result over and over again.

    "Molly?" He called, walking over to the bad. "Baby?"

Molly rolled over, waking back up.

"Yeah?" She asked

He showed her the test.

"What's this?" He asked, a nervous smile on his face.
