Tony ran the bath he had been waiting on all night, adding extra bubbles and then sauntering into the living room to see what Loki was doing while it ran. Loki was laying on the couch, his costume finally off and discarded, watching Supernatural on the television. He had become slightly addicted to this show in his short period in Midgard, and he looked a bit saddened that he'd missed the beginning of this episode.

"Oh no Anthony...how am I supposed to catch up if I keep missing the reruns? And they hardly come on in order, it's like piecing together a puzzle. I watched the first few episodes and now all of a sudden Dean is in hell! Poor Sam too...I wonder what happened." Tony chuckled and turned the TV off, standing before Loki in all his naked glory.

"That's why you don't watch reruns. I'll help you start watching it on Netflix later okay? But right now it's late and you need to take a bath." Loki smirked and rolled his eyes.

"With you?" Tony nodded, a sarcastic smile consuming his features.

"Well if you insist." Tony helped Loki to his feet and the taller man took his boxers off, following Tony into their bathroom. Tony turned the water off and stepped into his ridiculously large bathtub, extending his hand for Loki to take. He helped his lover climb in and they both sat down, Tony grabbing two washcloths off the side of the tub. He then proceeded to squirt some bath wash onto one of the cloths and gently clean Loki's body. Loki took a deep breath and closed his eyes, enjoying the soft feel of Tony's hands and the hot cloth on his tired body. It had been quite a day. Before he knew it he felt Tony's lips very lightly brushing his stomach, and he immediately knew what Tony was doing, resting his hand lovingly atop his head.

"How did I not notice? When we met your abs were rock hard...now there is this tiny, pudgy little bulge. It's so adorable." Loki laughed and brought Tony's face up to his, stopping just before brushing his lips.

"Well you weren't exactly looking for our child, were you?" Tony kissed him deeply and smiled a Cheshire cat grin.

"I like the sound of that...our child." Loki nibbled at the side of Tony's face and nuzzled into him.

"I'm a bit relieved. I thought all your Midgardian food was making me fat." Loki slid down and laid his head in Tony's lap, snuggling in the warmth of the water and smiling up at his love.

"Will you wash my hair?" Tony laughed and grabbed for his shampoo bottle, squirting some of the Old Spice into his hand and beginning to massage it into Loki's scalp.

"Yes, and Loki, even if you weren't pregnant, you certainly are not fat. That little bit of pudge is incapable of changing how lean you are." Loki just hummed in response, enjoying the feeling of having his hair washed. Tony's firm calloused hands felt like heaven as they gently tugged at Loki's long raven locks and kneaded his head. Loki let out a small moan and Tony only smiled, covering the God's face with his hand.

"I'm going to dunk you in to rise it out, hold your breath and close your eyes." He instructed as he very carefully pushed Loki's head into the water and quickly rinsed the suds away. When Loki resurfaced he pushed his damp hair from his eyes and smiled.

"Thank you. My turn." Tony chuckled and turned around, laying in Loki's lap as he had done his. While he was running the shampoo through Tony's hair, a pang of worry suddenly coursed through him.

"Anthony, I just thought of something." Tony raised an eyebrow though his eyes remained closed in relaxation.

"I'm going to give birth..." Tony snorted and dunked himself underwater, helping Loki rinse the shampoo and sitting up to face him.
