You, Sev and Izzy made your way towards Sevs room ensuring that you completely dodged your room along with Lokis who's was out of bounds. Along the way you spotted Yelena who smiled widely at you before Natasha pulled her away. Laughing to yourself, you bumped into Stephen who looked about as hung over as you did this morning. Trudging behind him was his cloak who seemed to have a slight droop to it.
"Morning" you smiled "you look about as bad as I feel."
"You look wonderful too." He sighed, holding his head as his cloak perked up, wrapping itself around Seven.
"I definitely haven't seen that before." You laughed "come on Sev." You said, taking the cloak off of her and wrapping it around Stephens shoulders before continuing your journey.
When you arrived, you spotted Loki standing in the doorway, grinning at you as you raised your eyebrow suspiciously. Not only was Loki fully dressed, but he looked well rested and his hair was done. How he was able to effortlessly alter his appearance in little to know time still remained shocking to you.
"Good morning Princess" he said, picking up Seven and placing her on his hip before conjuring two small tiaras and placing one on Sevs head along with Izzy's. Both girls reached up, little fingers trailing over their crowns as they turned towards each other smiling.
"Daddy?" Seven called.
"Yes my little elskling" he smiled.
"Can we have dresses too?"
"Sev" you prompted.
"Pleaseeee." She quickly added.
"Very well" Loki declared, placing Seven on the ground before telling the girls to both look at him whilst he did some elaborate hand gestures before telling them to go and look inside Sevs wardrobe. They both gasped when you walked to the wardrobe, opening it up for them and revealing two beautiful princess dresses. They ran towards them whilst you stepped towards Loki, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"And the prize for the best parent goes to." You laughed, watching the girls putting their dresses over their pyjamas.
"Not to toot my own horn as one would say but I agree, clearly I am the better parent." Loki teased, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you closer to him as he watched the excitement on Sevs face.
"Loki, how very modest" you chuckled before turning towards Loki who seemed to have gone silent. You followed his gaze onto the two girls as he watched them with a small smile. "What's managed to shut you up?"
"Have you ever thought about having another one?" Loki questioned, turning towards you as you quickly turned away. You didn't even think about having the first one, it just happened. As much as you'd love another sibling for Seven, you couldn't go through that again. The constant fear, the worry that you'd do something to ruin the little life that was growing inside of you. The pain that accompanied birthing what you now knew was a half Jotun child. Plus you didn't know how the child would turn out. What if it was like you and Loki and Sev only had a limited time to love it, nurture it before it died? You couldn't do that to yourself or to them.
"Let's help Izzy pack her things before she leaves" you deflected, picking up Izzy's bag and folding her clothes.
"Morning" Noah greeted, knocking on the open door as he walked in, taking Izzy's bag from you and resuming the packing "sorry y/n about—about earlier." He began.
"Dooooont mention it." You cut in.
Once Izzy's things were packed, you, Loki, Noah, Sophia and the girls made your way towards the common room where most of the avengers were awake. They said their goodbyes to everyone before Loki took them back. He offered to take Wanda back too but she insisted she stay. When he turned towards Yelena, offering to take her back too, she declined. It seemed the compound was going to be slightly busier for the foreseeable.
Whilst Loki was away, you and Sev tidied her room which was mostly Sev singing whilst you tidied her room. Once you were finished, you left her with Thor before reluctantly approaching your room to clean it. Opening the door, you were surprised to see that it looked relatively clean considering what you witnessed this morning. Wanting to be safe, you stripped your bedding again, changing the sheets, pillow cases and duvet cover. Once you were finished, you were about to call Loki before he appeared behind you, scaring you as you turned around.
"LOKI!" You exclaimed.
"Sorry" he laughed "your face, it's honestly priceless."
"Not funny Loki" you warned.
"Sorry" he offered, taking your hands in his as he looked down into your eyes before swaying side to side causing you to break out into a smile. Your swaying grew more rhythmic as Lokis hands found your waist. Reaching upwards, you connected your hands behind his neck as you continued looking up at him.
"Close your eyes" he murmured. Closing your eyes, you listened as Loki spoke. "Picture this, it's a Sunday evening in our family home away from all this chaos. You and I are dancing together before we hear giggles coming from upstairs. We abandon the dancing and walk upstairs to see two little bundles of joy playing hide and seek with each other."
Instantly you opened your eyes, stopping the dancing as you left Lokis grip before heading towards the door.
"I left Seven with Thor, he's probably sick of her by now." You said before opening the door and stepping out leaving Loki standing alone in the middle of your room. You walked down the hallway taking steadying breaths as you felt yourself getting dizzier. Your heart rate began to increase causing you to put a hand against the wall as you walked. You felt as if you would have passed out if not for the hand touching your shoulder.
"Y/n? You alright?"
Looking up you were met by a worried looking Bucky.
"Y/n?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine thanks" you assured, taking a deep, grounding breath which instantly calmed you.
"Do you need to sit down or do you need a cup of tea or anything?"
"I'm great" you said trying to put on a smile "just on my way to get Seven from Thor."
"I'll come with you" he suggested, grabbing one of your arms and putting it over his shoulder as he helped you walk.
"I'm fine Bucky" you chortled.
"You're always fine" he answered, placing his hand on your hip, hugging you closer to him as you both walked "except from last night" he snorted "definitely didn't think I'd ever see those again."
"Bucky!" You gasped before laughing "I was very very drunk."
You both continued laughing as you walked towards Thors room unaware that Loki was still standing in your room, staring at the space you were previously standing in.
