On set with Tom Hiddleston

Chapter 31- Little Loki

"Congratulations! You have a  beautiful, healthy baby boy!"

"Looks like little Loki can stick after all." Tom joked.

"When you think of a name, call one of the nurses in and we will get the birth certificate signed for you." One of the nurses told you.

Everyone in the room had now cleared out and it was just you, Tom and the baby. Tom joined you on the bed and laid next to you. You held your baby and laid in silence for a few minutes to appreciate your new family, happy that the pain was over.

"So, what are we going to call him?" Tom asked.

"How about Levi?" You told him.

"It's perfect," Tom replied.

"Shall we call the nurse in?" You asked Tom.

"No that can wait, why don't you get some sleep."

You looked at Tom and knew that sounded like a plan, you handed Levi to him and you drifted off to sleep.

Whilst you were sleeping, Tom was speaking to Levi, even though he couldn't understand a word he was saying. However, you could hear him as you kept drifting in and out of sleep. Tom took the baby and walked over to the window, he opened the curtains and looked out the window.

"You see those stars up there, Levi? That's where your grandad lives. I've never met him but he seemed like a great man. I'm sure he would have loved to have met you.  One thing that's certain is that your mummy has made him very proud and she has made me proud as well."

You smiled to yourself in your sleep as you heard Tom talking, it made you happy to hear him say that about you and tell the baby about your dad.

"Mr Hiddleston?" One of the nurses knocked at the door.

"Yes?" He whispered as he didn't want to wake you or the baby.

"I'm going to need to take the baby for a while so we can do some tests. Why don't you and mum both get some rest, he will be back soon." The nurse told you.

Tom walked over to the nurse and handed her the infant. After that he headed over to you and joined you on the bed, he held you tight and he fell asleep with you. This was going to be the best night's sleep that you've had in a while.

*A few months later*         

Life at home with a baby was amazing. You and Tom loved it, it brought you closer together as a couple and it also gave you more excuses to go and visit your families. Even sleeping was great. Levi was a deep sleeper like both of his parents, so he rarely woke up in the middle of the night. On the rare occasion that he did, all it took was a gentle rock in his cot or small drive round the town and he was fast asleep again. Although one thing that was annoying was the feeding. For some reason you couldn't breastfeed Levi, so you decided to go with formula and that seemed to do the trick.

In the few months of having the baby at home, you both decided on his Godparents. You went with Dylan and Scarlett while Tom chose Chris and his sister Sarah. The christening had already happened as you didn't want to wait. After all, you still had a wedding to plan and since the birth of Levi, a lot of your original plans had changed.

Today however, you had your mum come round to babysit Levi for a few days so that you and Tom could get some wedding planning done and so that you could get some rest. You also took this chance to catch up on sleep, even though Levi slept through the night, he still woke up crying every morning at 5:30 and doing that every day was making you a little tired.

Your mum arrived at your house to collect Levi and then left you and Tom to plan your wedding. It was around 12 when your mother left with the baby and before you did any planning you and Tom wanted to have a little nap. You both went upstairs and as soon as your heads hit the pillows you were both sleeping like angels.

*Sometime later*

You and Tom woke up from your nap at around 3, so you still had plenty of time to plan as your mother wasn't coming back until Monday morning. It was currently Friday so you only had to spend a couple days without him.

You and Tom headed straight to the dining room and began to plan everything.

"So invitations?" Tom asked.

"Well my family, your family and then our friends" You suggested.

"That's easy enough for me," Tom said.

"Ok what about when and where?" Tom asked you next.

You looked at him so innocently and said "I still want to go somewhere snowy"

"Darling we can't, it would be unfair on Levi because of all the travel." Tom reminded you.

You let out a sigh, "Yeah I know". You were sad but you still had other ideas. "Alright so I would have to change my dress idea but what about a beach?" You eagerly asked Tom.

"A beach sounds good, but where?" He questioned.

"Cornwall has some beautiful beaches, so maybe we can go there?"

"Cornwall it is." Tom said.

After about three hours of planning, you and Tom had managed to write up a guest list, choose a location, choose a hotel and you also found a minster. All that was left to do was choose a date.

"I'm thinking summer, what about you?" You said to Tom.

"I'm okay with that, but when?" Tom returned.

"Middle of august." You hesitated.

You both looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"August 17th!" You both laughed as you said the same date and you knew that there was no arguing over the date.

"August 17th it is then, all we have to do is book the hotel, minister and send out the invitations now" Tom said to you.

"Good I'm glad we got the majority of that done but can we do the rest tomorrow? I really want a shower." You told him.

Tom looked at you in desperate hopes you would invite.

"Ughh fine, if you must." You were happy to hear this as you were so desperate for his touch again. Any time he went to kiss you, you would crumble in hope it would lead to more, but ever since the birth of Levi it never continued. Maybe as he wasn't here for the weekend, it would mean something different.

You and Tom cleaned up downstairs and headed for the shower.
