Fear & Desire - Legacies (book 2)

Sunup

The next morning you woke up naked, legs intertwined with Loki's as you both slept. You thought back to last night, the sex before the shower, the sex in the shower, the sex after the shower, you sighed feeling your legs hurting. Reaching over Loki to get your phone on the bedside table, you smiled seeing a picture Nat had sent you of her and Seven with face masks on captioned girls night. Your movement must have woken Loki because he was soon pulling you back down when you tried to stand up.

"Where are you going?" He asked in that sexy, raspy morning voice that was usually guaranteed to get you back into bed.

"I've got to clean and get dressed, we're collecting our daughter from a few hallways away soon." You laughed swatting his hand away. "Oh and look at the picture Nat sent me on my phone." You called over your shoulder before entering the bathroom.

"Our little princess." He shouted.

Once you were showered and dressed, you tore the bedsheets off of your bed and replaced them with clean ones whilst Loki looked through all of the other pictures of Seven on your phone. You still didn't fully understand what happened between her and Loki but you knew they had formed some sort of psychic connection hence how she knew who he was. Judging by the look of awe on Loki's face, a psychic connection was no match for watching your daughter take her first steps or her playing with toys through a lens. Everything Loki saw from your phone was from your prospective, a parents prospective. You had caught all the best bits.

"She's quite adventurous isn't she." Loki chuckled watching a video of Seven swinging on some bars at the park.

"And sassy, she gets that from you." You grinned kissing Loki on the cheek.

"I've missed so much of her life." He said dejectedly still scrolling.

"And you'll miss no more, what's 5 years compared to a lifetime?" You cheered walking out of the room not allowing Loki to add to the conversation. It was a conversation you didn't want to have.

You practically skipped to the kitchen hearing Seven and Natasha making pancakes which consisted of Natasha doing all the work whilst Seven asked for ice cream whenever Natasha would glance down at her sitting at the table.

"Morning widow, morning Sev. Did you have fun with auntie?" You greeted quickly hugging Natasha from behind before sitting at the table with Seven completely forgetting that that probably wasn't the best nickname for her.

"Yeeeess" she affirmed throwing her hands in the air.

"Good morning my little elskidi." Loki said walking into the kitchen and kissing Seven on the head before smiling at Natasha "you sit down with y/n, I'll finish this." He assured.

"Wow y/n, last night must have been really good." Natasha teased dropping her utensils and sitting next to you.

"Sooooo, any wedding plans?" You prompted nudging Natasha.

"Well with everything that's going on, we haven't really had much time to play anything." She admitted.

"Natasha, thank you but no, plan your wedding, me, Loki, Stephen, Tony, Steve and everyone else are working on this. Plan your wedding, you deserve some happiness." You said squeezing her arm.

"Mummy." Seven interrupted.

"Yes baby."

"Can I have ice cream?"

"No."

"Pleaseee."

"No, it's the morning, you can have some later."

"Pleaseeeeeeee."

"Loki love." You called.

"Yes dear."

"Can you get Sev some ice cream please?"

The morning consisted of the four of you eating pancakes and laughing with one another before the rest of the avengers filtered in. When Bucky came in, he stepped backwards to exit but you gave him a small smile nonverbally telling him it was fine, he could come in. You felt bad with the way you spoke to him the other day and it wasn't like you owned the compound. Bucky was an Avenger regardless of what had happened. He was right, you had forgiven Loki given the circumstance so it would be right to try and forgive him. It wouldn't happen overnight but you were happy to try.

When you all left the kitchen, Tony asked to take Seven for a while with pepper for them to pick out some things for her new room which was currently being put together in between missions and trying to work out exactly who gave Bucky the dark object. He ensured that the shopping would be done remotely with someone in store giving a tour of the products to ensure everyone was safe. Meanwhile, you and Loki made your way towards the briefing room to talk over the plans you and Stephen had made yesterday. Thinking back to last night, you decided to ask Loki a question.

"Loki?"

"Mmm" he said not looking up from the file in his hand.

"About last night, I mean, don't get me wrong I liked it, like I really liked it it was so—"

"Yes?"

"The whole mine thing, what was that about?" You asked sheepishly.

"Well, you are, no?" He replied looking up at you with a smirk trying to hide the fact that he felt irked by Stephens familiarity with you yesterday.

"No, you're mine." You answered matching his smirk and pinching his cheek.

As you both chuckled, an orange glow appeared in the corner of the room before a portal, and then Stephen stepping out.

"Great" Loki muttered.

"Good morning y/n, or should I say my dear wife." He beamed.
