Always and Forever | Loki Laufeyson

Kapittel (38) Trettiåtte ~ Telling Everyone Else

"How would you like to do this, darling?" Loki asked as we got ready for the day, preparing to tell everyone about the two pieces of news we had.

"I'm thinking we should go to Midgard first, then when we get back ask Heimdall to get in contact with your family."

"Alright. Are you ready to see everyone again?" He asked, looking at me in the mirror from where he was buttoning his tunic.

"Are you? You haven't seen anyone since before we went to the Dark World." I asked, memories of Loki dying in front of me playing in my mind.

"Love, I know you're thinking about it." He grumbled, walking over and pulling me into his chest. "I'm all right, now. All healed, there's not even a scar. You know this."

"Yeah, your right. It's just... hard."

"I know, darling. I know." He nodded against my head. "Now, let's go see your friends and family."

"I'm sorry, I'm confused." Tony piped up, making everyone - who happened to already be at the compound for whatever reason - look at him. "I thought the two of you were already married."

"We are. It's just been so long, and so much has happened, that we've decided to do it again. I guess you could say we're renewing our vows." I explained, making everyone nod in understanding.

"The wedding shall take place in Asgard, and all of you are invited, per Alex's request," Loki said, making me elbow his side.

"We get to go to Asgard?" Olivia perked up, looking towards a now intrigued Tony.

"Yes. And if you would like, we can give you a tour while there." Loki nodded.

"Awsome!" The older Stark cheered.

"Now, there is one other piece of news we wanted to share while here." I started, making Olivia, Natasha, and Wanda - who I've felt accidentally rummaging through my mind - send me knowing smirks while Clint started to scowl.

"Alex is pregnant." Loki quickly said, the whole room erupting in overlapped speech a second later.

"Oh my god, congratulations!"

"How long have you known?"

"I'm still not thrilled, you know."

"Shut it, Barton."

"How different is your pregnancy going to be compared to a normal human's?"

Everyone continued to talk over one another, and I tried my best to answer everyone's questions while Loki looked more and more annoyed.

I even had to snatch a dagger from his hand when Tony made some smart-ass comment about, and I quote, "how big she's going to get since the pregnancy will take longer and isn't human." Avery and Olivia both hit him upside the head for the comment too.

After everyones settled down, we explained how the Asgardian wedding will work, giving everyone a heads up on how they should behave given that all Nine Realms will be invited, unlike the first event.

Clint, for one, seemed very zoned out the whole time, Nat having to slap him every once and a while to get his attention back. Tony and Olivia, however, were hanging onto Loki and I's every word as we discussed things like the Bifrost.

"You did well in there, apart from almost stabbing Tony," I told Loki as we slowly walked out of the compound, having already said our goodbyes to everyone.

"I wasn't about to allow him to speak of you like that. He's lucky all he got was a slapping from the other Stark and Romanoff.

"Well, thank you for defending my honor," I smirked, rolling my eyes.
