Loving Marianna

Chapter Nintey- Nine

2 Months Later Gamora POV
"Baby?" I yell out as Happy helps me drag in the piles of stuff that I bought. Marianna walks in looking absolutely adorable her little belly sticking out of her white tank top.

"What's all this?" She asks wide eyed looking at all the stuff.

"Things for the baby!" I answer happily dropping the bags so I can kiss her, and once I kiss those perfect lips I lean down and kiss her stomach.

"Hello baby." She laughs guiding me back up to her lips. She fully tastes me before pulling away keeping her forehead pressed against mine.

"I thought we agreed no more baby stuff until the house is finished." I smile widely raising my eyebrows.

"It's just about done, things just need to be moved in now but we should be able to move in within the week." She squeezes me in excitement and I laugh in her embrace.

"How was your appointment with Dr. Maddex today?" I ask. She kisses all around my face avoiding the question. I pull her away from me and look at her expectantly.

"He thinks I'm using my pregnancy as an excuse to continue to not open up."

"Is that true?" She doesn't meet my eyes but nods her head slowly.

"I'm not supposed to be stressed." She says looking at me now, holding up her hands in defense.

"I won't argue with you my love." I answer as I go back to the bags to show her some of what I got. She chuckles looking at all the stuff.

"What exactly is the baby going to do with a bike?" She asks amused.

"She'll grow into it! Look it's green and the tinsel on the handles are reddish like my hair! I had to get it when I saw it!" She gushes over me looking at all the stuff. Everyone starts filing out at the commotion and looking at all the cute baby stuff with us.

Marianna POV
Once we've looked through everything we lounge around and wait for Pietro and Steve to finish cooking dinner.

"I've got an appointment for the baby on Friday." I say shoving more veggie stir fry in my mouth.

"I know. We'll all be there." Tony says grabbing my free hand on the table. I smile and hold his hand as we continue eating.

2 Months later
"You have my everlasting gratitude my Kings, my Queen." The man leaves and I breathe a sigh of relief thankful for the end of the day.

"Are we going back or do you wish to spend the night my love?" Thor asks getting up from his throne helping me out of mine easily. I stretch my uncomfortable body and Thor keeps his arms hovering around me.

"You don't have to spot me coach, I'm not weight lifting." He chuckles pulling me too him planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Let's stay here, I'm tired." He nods and we walk hand in hand in hand back to our room. I trudge into the bathroom and lift up my silks pulling down my underwear. My heart stops when I see spots of blood.

I take them off and rush out frantically showing Loki and Thor who try to contain their panic but are just as scared as me. They rush me out to Frigga who only lets her face falter for a moment before taking a look at me and moving into action quickly getting me to the healers.

"Call the others I say as the healers move around my body on the table." The head healer closes her eyes and her and Frigga concentrate their hands over my stomach.

They open their eyes and give each other a look letting go over each other's hands reaching out for some of the other healers to join.

I bite my lip trying my hardest not to cry knowing it will make things harder for them.

Loki steps out as he talks to one of my mates on the phone as Thor paces around watching their every move.

WARNING: child loss

Loki steps back in and at the same moment all of my mates are here including my usual doctor. Their hands drop once again and Frigga walks over to me and strokes my hair gently. I close my eyes and shake my head.

"I'm sorry Marianna, we can't find a heartbeat."

"May I?" My doctor steps up with her equipment I nod my head and as I hear no heart beat I feel my own heart break.

I keep my eyes closed wanting them to stay like that forever.

"Why again?" I whisper to myself tears slipping past my closes lids. I feel sniffling bodies gently encase me. I still don't open my eyes, don't move my arms. I just lay there crying. They give me space but don't stray too far. All their voices are muffled out as I push myself up.

"Marianna."

"Marianna?"

Marianna!" I snap out of my trance as Peter (P) gently shakes my shoulders. He has tears running down his rosy cheeks and I can't help but mindlessly wipe them away.

"What happens now?" I ask coldly not really wanting to hear the inevitable answer.

"We induce birth and you get to hold your baby and tell her how loved she is, how missed she will be, and then you'll have a beautiful ceremony to honor her." Frigga gently answers.

"Her funeral." I croak our clutching my stomach tears still quickly running down my face.

"W-when?" I ask.

"As soon as possible would be best." My doctor answers Frigga nodding in agreement. I nod honestly wanting to do this as soon as possible too.

"Do you have a name for her already?" Frigga asks as they get things ready for a birth. I shake my head more tears spilling.

"We have a few we like but wanted to get to know her first." Pietro chokes out rubbing my cheek. Frigga gives me a pill and I rest my hand on my belly as I take the pill.

A few hours later
"Alright Marianna are you ready to push." Tears stream down my face mixed with sweat as I squeeze Natasha and Sams hands letting out a scream.

"Push!!!"

"Alright take a breathe."

"Get ready to push again honey."

"Push!!!"

"Take a breather, you're doing so good you're almost there."

"Get ready one last big push and you're done Marianna!"

"Push!!!" I squeeze my mates hands closing my eyes screaming until I feel the doctor pull her out of me. I listen for her sweet cry but it never comes.
