Loki sat on the rocking chair in the nursery. His swollen belly was in the way of everything by now, he was nine months pregnant, so the baby could come any minute now.
"Tony, dear, could you help me up?" He asked, struggling to stand. Tony put down the light green sheets he was laying in the white crib. They had both decided to make the room green and yellow because they didn't want to know the gender of the baby until they were born. Tony came over and helped Loki up.
Loki looked down, his large baby bump caused him to not be able to see his feet. He rubbed his swollen stomach, he loved that there was going to be a child living with them any day now.
Loki winced as a sharp pain rushed through his stomach. He clutched his stomach and leaned against the wall. Tony noticed Loki's strange actions. "Loki, what's wrong?" Tony asked. Warm liquid rushed between Loki's legs, followed by another sharp pain that was much worse. "Tony... It's time." Loki said through clenched teeth. "What... What do you mean?" Tony asked dumbly. "The baby is coming you mewling quim!!!" Loki screamed in pain.
Tony panicked. "Okay, no one panic!!" Tony said. He picked Loki up. Loki was beginning to breath heavily. Tony ran down the steps and into the living room. Everyone was sitting around. "What's going on?" Natasha asked. "The baby is coming, and Anthony is panicking." Loki huffed, clearly in pain.
"Bring him to the lab!" Bruce barked at Tony. Everyone ran to the lab. Bruce had a small hospital like section in his lab.
Tony lay Loki in the hospital bed, Bruce had Loki take off his clothing. "Why?" Loki asked uncomfortably. "Because you will be drenched in sweat, and I don't think you want to wear a sweatshirt during childbirth. Loki nodded, carefully removing his shirt and pants.
There was a lightweight white sheet over his bare body. Loki leaned on his elbows. "Okay, it looks like your contractions are beginning." Bruce said. "But you might experience some... Difficulties during labor because you don't exactly have the same parts as women do." Banner said writing down something on a clipboard.
"Loki, can't you just change into a woman?" Tony asked his husband, who had a tight grip on his hand. Loki shook his head in pain. "No, it can hurt the child." Loki said. Loki screamed in pain. "What's h... Happening?!" Loki shouted. Sweat beaded on his forehead and tears rushed down his face. Loki's grip on Tony's hand tightened. "Your contractions are beginning, the baby should be here in one to twelve hours." Banner told the couple.
"What?!" Loki screamed. He threw his head back and groaned. He lay down, and wiped the sweat from his head.

Loki stirred in his sleep, he groaned. Tony was still holding his hand. Tony snored lightly from the chair next to the hospital bed. "Mhmm... Tony," Loki nudged Tony lightly. "Love, what time is it?" Loki mumbled. Tony rubbed his eyes sleepily. "J.A.R.V.I.S. Time. Now." Tony ordered. "Yessir, it is currently 2:34 A.M." The AI spoke.
"Mmmh." Loki whimpered, he had a hurting look on his face. He clutched his stomach. "What's wrong?" Tony asked. "My stomach is hurting." Tony stood up. "Do you want me to go get Bruce?" Tony asked. Loki nodded, his face cringing in pain. Loki cried out in agonizing pain.
"Bruce!" Tony screamed, running down the hallway. Most of the Avengers and Bucky were asleep in a waiting room like lounge down the hall. "BRUCE!" Tony screamed as he entered ten room, awaking everyone. "What's wrong?" Bruce asked. "Loki was complaining about his stomach bothering him." Tony said.
Bruce ran down the hallway to the hospital bed. They opened the door to Loki panting and screaming in pain. "Loki's ready." Bruce said.
"I've been ready this whole damn time!" Loki said, gripping the sheets. Tony ran to Loki's side, and Loki grabbed his hand.
"Are you ready Lokes?" Tony asked. "T... Tony... I don't know if I can do this." Loki said, tears flowing down his face. "Sunshine, I know you can do it. Look how far you've made it, I know you can." Tony kissed Loki's perspiring forehead.
Loki propped his legs up. "Loki I'm going to need you to breathe and then give a good push." Bruce said. Loki was crying. He was scared, what if something were to happen. "I can't do it!" Loki sobbed. "Yes you can, Loki! I know you can. You're the bravest person I know." Tony said. He kissed Loki's hand.
"Okay Loki, are you ready?" Bruce asked. Tears were still flowing. Loki bit his lip and nodded. "Okay, push." Loki screamed, as he pushed his best. Tears flowed down Loki's cheeks. Perspire made his bare chest sparkle.

Loki smiled tiredly. The child was slightly smaller, but Loki expected it because of him being the smallest frost giant. He sighed leaning back, the baby still in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Tony quietly came into the room. "Hey Lokes," Tony said. Loki smiled, slightly opening his tired eyes. "How's Peter doing?" Tony asked. "He's doing good, hasn't cried very much." Loki said. Peter lay on his chest making cooing noises.
"Ready to have the family come meet the newest edition?" Tony asked, and Loki nodded. They thought of their teammates as family more than they did of friends. Tony went to where their friends were waiting.
Most of the team was asleep, except Steve and Bucky, who were both reading. Steve looked up to see what was happening. "Did Loki give birth?" Steve asked hopefully. By now the rest of the sleeping teammates were awoken by Steve's talking. "Yeah, it was a success. C'mon I'll show you the new family member." Tony said excitedly.
Everyone trailed behind Tony. Down the hallway, they entered the room that Loki was currently in. They all entered the room quietly. Loki looked up and smiled. He gently nudged away part of the blanket, so the child's face could be seen. Everyone awed at the baby. "His name is Peter." Loki spoke quietly.
Peter stirred, and with tiny fists he rubbed his brown eyes. His hair was a dark brown color, like Tony. But his skin was pale like Loki's.
Peter looked at his family, studying them carefully. They were all different, but in a good way. "This is your family, Peter." Tony said, kneeling next to Loki. Peter tiredly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, once and a while making tiny gurgling sound.
Yay! Welcome Peter! I'll update soon. It's 12:14 am so it might be bad but I'm sorry. Till next time.
