Loki stirred, clutching his stomach. Did I get drunk last night? Loki wondered. He looked outside, the sky was a solid dark blue, and the city was still lit with amber city lights on every corner.
Loki clutched his stomach in pain. He ran into the bathroom and threw open the toilet. Loki emptied his stomach into the toilet. Loki's skin felt cold and clammy. He was hit by another wave of nausea. He threw up into the toilet once again. Loki sat down resting his chin and arm on the toilet seat.
Tony walked into the bathroom, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Loki... Sunshine, what's wrong? It's five in the morning." Tony sat next to Loki. Loki tiredly looked at Tony. He sat up straight and once again hurled. Tony pulled back Loki's hair. Loki lifted his head. "Are you sick?" Tony asked. He held the back of his hand to Loki's forehead. Tony pulled his hand away, and pressed his lips against Loki's forehead. "Well you're clammy, but not warm. It's probably just a stomach bug, but I'll keep an eye on you." Tony said.
Loki nodded, running a hand through his hair. Loki carefully stood up. Tony led the smaller male back to their bed. "Get some sleep, I love you." Tony said. He held Loki close. Loki fell asleep in minutes, listening to Tony's steady breaths.

Loki sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. His stomach was unsettled, but he wasn't feeling as sick.
He looked at Tony, sound asleep next to him. Loki smiled, he kissed Tony's forehead before slowly getting up. Tony turned over in his sleep, he's back facing Loki. Loki left the room, closing the door behind him. He ran to the bathroom on the floor him and Tony shared. He pulled out a small object, the object that could change his life forever. Loki took a deep breath, he was nervous.
Loki looked at the small object. His eyes widened, as he quickly reached for the box. Loki read over it carefully. Two lines equals a positive result. One line equals a negative result. Results may vary, check with doctor to see if you are pregnant. Loki swallowed hard. He placed a gentle hand on his flat stomach. That would explain the sickening feeling, Loki thought to himself.
Loki still clutched the small box in his hand. He read over it a second time. Results may vary, check with doctor to see if you're pregnant. Loki couldn't go to a doctor on Midgard, and he wasn't ready to tell Frigga that he was possibly carrying Tony's child. "Banner." Loki said quickly, straightening his back.
Loki ran to the elevator, he went down a few floors before the doors opened. He ran out of the elevator and down a long hallway. Loki stopped at a door that had a sign saying Dr. Banner's Laboratory. Loki knocked on the door impatiently. Bruce came and opened the door, with a confused look. "Loki? What are you doing down here?" Banner asked. "I need to talk to you. It's urgent." Loki said frantically. Banner pulled Loki inside, and had him sit down.
"Now, what seems to be the problem?" Banner asked taking a sip of what Loki assumed was coffee. Loki bit his lip. "I... I think I'm pregnant." Loki murmured. Banner's eyes widened, as he almost chocked on his coffee. "I've heard about male pregnancy, but I've never met anyone that it's happened to." He was intrigued. "Would you like me to run an ultrasound? It may be the only way to find out." Loki didn't understand what he meant by ultra sound. "What is this ultrasound you speak of?" Loki asked nervously.
Bruce pulled a screen towards Loki. "So this," Banner pointed to a screen. "This shows me what's inside of you, but the way we do that is through this." He held up a stick like object with a circular flat top. Loki nodded. "Let's do it." Bruce nodded. He got up and grabbed something that looked like clear lotion. "I'll be putting this gel on your stomach, that way it'll be able to have a clearer image." Loki nodded at his words. Loki took off his shirt, and Bruce put on the gel. The gel was cold, but it didn't bother Loki.
Bruce put the scanner on Loki's stomach. Bruce looked up at the monitor and carefully moved the scanner. "I'm picking up a heartbeat." Banner stated. The screen was black and white, and the image was unclear.
"This is where the baby is," Bruce pointed to a black circle on the screen. "And that's the baby." Bruce said, pointing to a tiny white dot. Loki carefully studied the tiny creature. Happiness filled him when he saw the child in his womb.
"How are you going to tell Tony?" Bruce asked. Loki's stomach knotted, and he chewed on the inside on his cheek. "I don't know." Banner's face lit up. "It's almost Christmas, for Christmas you should give him a picture of the latest ultrasound." Loki looked at him curiously. "What do you mean latest ultrasound?" Loki spoke. "Oh, right, I'm going to have to have you come down here every few weeks. Just to make sure the baby is healthy, and growing properly." Banner told Loki. "Thank you, Doctor Banner." Loki said solemnly. Bruce nodded. "Just take an easy, Loki. In about a month or so you should begin to show a baby bump, and morning sickness is a normal thing, so don't worry too much about that." Bruce told Loki before the god left.

Loki sat in the living room, he was unnecessarily cold. Loki shivered, pulling the soft and warm blanket across his shoulders, covering his crossed legs. Loki grabbed his mug from off the coffee table, he took a long sip of the strong tea. As he cupped the mug, it warned him with a welcoming feeling. Loki sighed, placing the mug down. He grabbed the remote, turning on the TV.
"Is Stark industries joining the bad guys now?" A woman on the news boomed. "Billionaire, Tony Stark newly married to Loki The God of Mischief. Diana has more on this story, on to you Diana." The news reporter cued.
"Yes thank you Diana, it appears to seem that Stark Industries is now helping Loki. We are here with Tony Stark to see if rumors are true." The news reporter held her microphone to Tony. "What?! No, Stark Industries are making their normal deliveries. Now please, I have a loving husband to get home to," Tony stopped to think. "Oh yeah, hey everyone, get your facts straight, Loki is in fact my husband," Tony held up his hand with his wedding band. "And Loki's changed his ways, now if you'll excuse me." Tony snapped before leaving. "You heard it, Loki has supposedly changed his ways. Tune in at eleven o'clock tonight to hear more." Loki heard the woman say before shutting off the TV.
Loki smiled, glancing out the window. Small flurries of snow was falling from a light gray sky. Loki laughed. "I guess you're making my powers all out of order." Loki said placing a hand on his stomach.
Loki quickly took his hand off his stomach as he heard Tony exiting the elevator. "How was work?" Loki asked. "A bitch." Tony said tiredly. Tony sat next to Loki. "Dear, you're so cold! Go get changed into something warm and comfortable." Loki ordered. Tony just laughed as he went to change. Minutes later, Tony came back in black sweatpants and a gray shirt. Loki opened his arms for an inviting hug.
Tony wrapped the blanket around himself, and had Loki crawl into his lap. Loki sighed once Tony wrapped his arms around his waist. Loki suddenly had butterflies flutter in his stomach, as Tony casually placed a warm hand on his stomach. Loki smiled, resting his head in the crook of Tony's neck. Tony didn't even know it, but Loki was having a child, but not just a child, his child.
