Loki stirred slightly in his sleep, as the baby slightly kicked and moved around. Loki rolled over to face his husband. Tony was lightly snoring, as he was snuggled into the warm sheets. Loki smiled as his stomach fluttered from another kick.
"Tony," he whispered with a grin. "Tony," he repeated.
Loki kissed Tony's forehead, and Tony slightly stirred. "Mmmhm." Tony hummed slightly.
"Anthony," Loki smiled. He was holding onto Tony's hand.
"Hmm? Loki? What's wrong?" Tony asked groggily.
He rubbed his eyes of sleep. Tony watched as the blue light from his chest casted soft shadows across Loki's face, and as a smile formed. Loki took Tony's hand and placed it on his stomach. Another kick made Loki smile, and this time Tony joined in.
"The baby's first kick!" Tony whispered. He couldn't stop grinning. This was an amazing thing.

They sat there for about ten more minutes speaking of what it would be like when the child was born. Until Loki finally spoke up.
"I'm going to go retrieve a drink for myself." He said, as he had begun to make an effort of getting out of bed.
"Do you need my help?" Tony asked.
Loki shook his head. "Not unless you want anything of the sorts. If not then please go back to bed, I will return soon."
Tony curled back up into the sheets, and soon began lightly snoring.
Loki made his way down the hallway. Tony had put in small blue lights towards the bottom of the wall. They lit the floor just enough for Loki to see where he was going. Tony had installed the lights before Peter was born.
Loki walked down the stairs, heading toward the kitchen. Loki walked over to the stove, and turned the knob. A blue flame emitted from the stovetop. He filled up a silver kettle with water, and then placed it on top of the flame.
A few minutes later, Loki heard shuffling behind him. He turned around to see that Peter had woken up, and was stepping closer to him.
"Sweetie," Loki spoke gently. "Weren't you sleeping over at Aunt Natasha and Uncle Clint's?" Loki questioned.
Peter shook his head. "I couldn't sleep," he yawned. "And I missed you."
Loki smiled. Peter climbed onto a stool that sat in front of the counter. Loki poured the hot water into two cups. He stirred the liquid in the cups, and then gave a cup to Peter.
Peter looked at the cup, and then up at Loki. "It's hot chocolate." Loki spoke.
Loki took a long sip. "Would you like a straw, Peter?" He spoke.
"Yes please, Daddy." Peter smiled.
Loki smiled at Peter. He set his mug onto the counter, and walked to a cabinet. He pulled out a red straw from a box that sat with other goods. Loki walked back over to Peter and put the colorful straw into his drink.
"Thank you, Daddy." Peter spoke. He took a sip from his drink.
Loki smiled, and he took a sip from his drink too.
••••
Loki had finished his drink a little while ago, as he waited for Peter to finish his.
"Daddy," Peter asked softly.
"Yes, my love?" Loki smiled.
"Do you think I'll be a good brother? Will the baby like me?" Peter questioned.
