Frozen Heart (Loki xfem reader)

Chapter 15

Loki turns pale, that is, paler than he usually is. "A--a baby?" He asks. You nod, looking concerned. "Is that why you were not drinking?" He looks to your full wine glass. You nod again. He stands, making you shrink back in your seat. "Oh, my love! This is the best gift I could ever get!" He pulls you in a hug.
"So you're not mad or upset?"
"Of course not! I'm going to be a father!"
"I--I just--I wasn't sure how you were going to react," you stutter. Loki's eyes well up with tears. "How long have you known?" He asks.
"Just since that night we shared on Asgard on the balcony. I had missed my period for two months, and then I knew. I wanted to tell you then but then Thor--"
"Oh, hel. Have you told the others yet?"
"No and I don't intend to until after the wedding."
You said that part quite sternly. Not that you didn't trust Loki, you just didn't want your secret getting out yet. Loki takes you in another hug, stroking your hair. "Whatever you decide, I will be with you," he says softly. You start crying and croak, "Ugh, damn mood swings." Loki laughs and lets you go. You leave the restaurant in silence after paying and walk to the hotel, which is just down the road.
You check in and walk to the room, still not saying anything. "Norns, say something!" Loki pleads. "I was waiting for you to say something, love!" You reply. Loki bites his lip and asks, "What would you like me to say?"
"I don't know. Anything to break the silence."
"Do you--sorry, do you know which gender you would prefer the baby to be?"
"A girl. I've always wanted a daughter. But if it's a son I'd love him just the same."
"Imagine, our baby. You holding our baby in your arms."
You smile and cuddle up to Loki, relaxing a bit. "Listen, Y/N, we're going to be fine. The team is going to love our baby," he says. You nod and sigh. "What's bothering you, sweetheart?" He asks.
"Wedding preparations. The knowledge that we'll eventually have to tell the others. A lot is on my plate right now."
"And you're handling it phenomenally darling."
"Thanks. I do suppose we should actually do some prep, don't you think?"
"Yes, I suppose so."
Loki laughs, making you smile a bit. It's a rare occurence, but it's become more regular around you. Loki summons a notebook and a pen and opens it. "So? Anything jumping out at you?" He asks.
"Maybe we should do like some Asgardian traditions."
"Ok, so that would include having a lot of dancing...and Thor will probably place Mjolnir in your lap at the end of the feast."
"Which is when I will tell them because they will be too drunk and/or tired to care."
"Precisely, my dear."
Loki writes all this down and shuts the notebook. "As far as dresses and stuff on my end, I know what I want," you smile. Loki rises an eyebrow in expectation. "And I'm not telling you zip," you smirk. Loki places a hand to his heart dramatically. "Ah, my lady wounds me with her wicked tongue," he fake cries. You snort and laugh, rolling onto his side. Loki plants a kiss onto your cheek, and says, "How did I end up with you?"
"The luckiest chance in all the nine realms, my dear."
