Loki's Secret

Chapter 15: Swollen Truth

Authors Note: 2 more months have passed. He is now 4-5 months pregnant.

He woke up and could hardly get out of bed. His knees were killing him and his stomach didn't help the matter. He groaned and got out of bed and got dressed. Today was the day that he had to go tuxedo sipping for the wedding with Thor. He put on his nicest clothes that would fit. The bump was highly prominent now and there was no hiding it. He brushed his hair and then brushed his teeth. 'The pain won't take over today.' He told himself. Thor walked in his room and helped him put on his shoes. He could barely reach but most of the time could. "I'm just pregnant. I am not an invalid." Loki said chuckling. Thor sighed, "You had to do this right before I got married." Loki sighed, "It's not like I had much choice in the matter. At least it's not twins. It sure feels like it though." Thor mumbled something under his breath, "Who is the father of this baby anyway?" Loki stifled a laugh, "The father isn't a human at all." "Loki? What do you mean by that?" "The father was a horse. I don't quite know if that means that I'm carrying a foal. It probably does though." "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" "As serious as a dead man." "I know what I'm carrying is not of human nature, it feels as if there are eight legs in there." "Loki....." "I'm not jesting. I can" He stopped mid sentence, and ran to the bathroom. Thor put his head in his hands. 'What am I going to do. My brother is carrying something unnatural and inhumane.' He heard the toilet flush and heard him wash his hands. "Sorry about that. I cannot really control my bladder anymore. It kind of hurts sometimes but when it hurts I always go." He said quietly. Thor looked at him "How much bigger will you get?" Loki chuckled, "What kind of question is that? Are you calling me a whale?" Thor sighed. "I am not brother. I'm just asking." Loki sighed, "Let's just go get this fitting over with. I'm swollen as is. I don't feel the best but I want to support my brother in every way I can." Thor helped his brother stand up and get his bearings before they walked together to the suit shop in Asgard. "Can you conceal your bump?" "I'm keeping my magic when I have to change forms for the birth." "For what reason?" "I cannot give birth to a foal in human form. I will have to change forms into a mare." "Do you really want everyone in Asgard knowing that you are expecting?" "I mean, I guess not. I don't want to waste any magic that I have." "Then conceal it." Loki used a concealment spell that immediately backfired when he tried to do it. 'I knew that wouldn't work. I had so much doubt.' Thor looked at him. "You aren't serious." Loki nodded, "There's no concealing it." "I thought we could try." "It didn't work. Suddenly out of nowhere, he said "I'm gonna throw up." "Seriously?"Thor said. You think I'm kidding?" Loki replied. He ducked behind the nearest food stand and promptly vomited for 20 minutes into the ground. All Thor heard was the sound of it hitting the ground every couple minutes. Thor was standing tapping his foot as his brother was emptying his stomach contents onto the street of Asgard. (That would suck.) He finally heard him wipe off his mouth and saw him walking his direction. "I'm sorry." "You cannot help it. It's the baby. You cannot prevent yourself from throwing up." Thor said to him patting his brother on the back. "I smell so bad." Loki said. "I know. You smell like vomit." Thor replied. "I want to go home." "We have to try on the suits." "But it smells so bad here." "It will just take a little bit of time. I swear it will be over in a few minutes." He heard him trying not to gag and sighed. "Is it that bad?" "It smells like eggs and body odor. It's so gross." His brothers face turned a lime shade of green now. They walked in to the tuxedo parlor and the smell of mens cologne took Thor by surprise. Loki ran for the nearest bathroom and emptied his stomach contents and ended up dry heaving. "Let's try this another time." Thor said to his brother. Loki nodded, "I'm sorry I ruined it." "You didn't." You just made it more memorable. I should of known the minute you started puking that it wasn't a good idea." Loki began sobbing. "I didn't mean to disappoint you." "You didn't. I love you brother." And with that they walked home to the castle where they could rest to end the night.
