Marvel Imagines pt. 5

Old clothes, new clothes ❤️‍🔥 Loki (request)

Song: Lana Del Rey - Yes to Heaven.

Imagine; you gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but after running around to take care of everything, you don't feel like yourself anymore.

Warnings: angst, fluff, babies.

•••

Motherhood is nothing like you'd imagined it to be. You expected it to be wonderful, a strong woman with a child on her arm, how do they make it look so easy?

Your daughter is wonderful, the tiredness and being covered in spit and food all day makes it less important to you when you see her little face light up.

But when you've laid her down on the evening and you pass a mirror, You're met with possibly the worst version of you. You're running around all day trying to do everything all at once with your daughter in your arms while Loki makes up for his mistakes by helping the avengers.

You encourage Loki of course, loving how he has changed towards the avengers and humanity, but something inside of you nags for his presence. For him to be there to actually help you instead of being gone all day.

You can't hold it in anymore, you feel awful when you feel like you're alone in this. Loki helps around enough but even now, holding your sleeping daughter, you feel the tears spilling over your cheek silently.

You rock her as you move around the room. Trying to keep your sobbing to a minimum. You just got her to sleep, you don't want to be up all night.

Loki of course has noticed you've been feeling a little down lately. And by a little he means a lot. He knows he hasn't been around all too much, Fury already insisting after a couple weeks that he got back to making the world a better place and blah blah blah..

He feels awful seeing you like this, juggling everything all day long, on the verge of tears every time he asks you how your day was. He can't bare to see you like this anymore.

So he has come up with a plan, a nice trip to the cabin you met in a couple years back. The one you stayed at when he waltzed in for shelter.

He asked his most trusted witch, Wanda, to take care of Sigyn to ensure total relaxation and just one on one time.

Because let's be honest, you and Loki haven't had much time together either. He wants you to have a break and as much as he loves the bundle safely nestled in your arms, he wants you to be able to just rest for a moment, let someone else worry.

Loki steps into the room and moves towards you. He wraps his arms around the both of you and you let your head fall against his chest.

'I'm sorry...' you whisper.

'None of that... I should be the one apologizing... you should be able to get some rest... which is why..' he starts gently swaying you as he talks on. 'I made some arrangements... Wanda will take care of Sigyn... and we will have a couple days to ourselves, just to catch up on some much needed rest..'

'Loki...' you sigh. 'Does it make me awful when I say it's just what we might need?'

'She is still young Y/n, a couple days she won't notice... Wanda is an expert with this...'

'Then I'd like to go...' you smile, wiping your tears away.

He kisses your head with a sad smile. You've done so much for the both of them.. now it's time to help you relax.

•••

The plan was to change into something nice, have dinner together and then relax, but as you come to find out, none of the clothes you brought make you feel comfortable.. they either have stains or are too tight on you.

'Loki I don't know... none of this fits like it used to it it's covered in... goo...' you look at yourself in the mirror.

'Then don't wear anything..' your eyes go wide and so he continues. 'we are here alone.. and before you start saying things you do not mean about your body... you birthed our beautiful child... a half goddess... the most beautiful one in the universe.. i do not care what everything looks like.. because when I see you all I can feel is love... all I can see is the incredible woman who gave me the most precious gift...' he takes your face between his hands and presses his lips onto yours.

'Loki... thank you... for all of this...' you smile up at him.

'You deserve nothing less.. and I've told Fury that the missions can wait.. I'm needed elsewhere...'

'You didn't have to-'

He tilts his head and raises his brow. 'Okay fine...' you give in.

'So now... I will make us a nice bath... then we will watch movies all night and cuddle up.. we will need to stock up on getting rest...'

'Yes well, she takes after her father.. very chaotic...' you chuckle.

He smiles at your little joke, it means that you've let go off some of your troubles. You still look tired but perhaps in these few days, your body will be well rested and it will remain that way...
