Affection 2

Part 1

“What do you think we should name the baby?” Luna asked Loki, her hands on her three month pregnant belly.

It’s been five years since they’ve graduated from Hogwarts and two years since Loki and Luna have been married. She couldn’t be happier to marry Loki and he couldn’t be more ecstatic to marry the girl of his dreams. Still, sometimes he couldn’t believe he married a Midgardian girl. The one species he couldn’t stand, and yet one of them made a beautiful imprint on his heart.

Luna loved him and he loved her and that was all that they needed.

The wedding itself was lovely. With soft hues of cream and white and a list full of their closest family and friends, it was the best moment of her life. However, after what Loki learned about himself all those years ago made him paranoid towards his family –most importantly his father- so the family part of his side of the wedding was sort of empty. The only spaces occupied were of his mother, his brother Thor –they slightly patched it up because Luna couldn’t bare to see their relationship broken when Thor obviously had no idea what was going on- and the Three Warriors because they wanted to see the little trickster get married.

And to a Midgardian no less?! It was surely a sight to see.

Loki and Luna would’ve loved to relive their wedding, but the happiest moment of their lives so far was the announcement Luna made about being pregnant.

The announcement came on a subtle rainy day in London. The rain lightly tapping on the window, while Luna, with her hair messy from bedhead because she didn’t have work at the ministry that day, was drinking hot chocolate in the bed as Loki came into the room, with messy hair as well in a robe and boxer shorts as he was practically glued to the Daily Prophet.

Luna couldn’t help but have a big smile on her face.

Loki looked up and caught the infectious grin. “What is it, Luna?” He asked, putting the paper down, sitting down on the bed, and settling a hand on his wife’s leg.

She crawled to him to sit on his lap and looked him straight in the eyes and simply uttered the words: “I’m pregnant, honey.”

Loki’s grin shrank down to a smirk and a slightly raised eyebrow.

“Say those words again, Luna…?” Loki moved his hand up on to her thigh and moved his other to cup her chin.

Luna giggled and repeated,”We are having a baby.”

As soon as she said it again, Loki kissed his lovely wife. “Do you want me to say it again?” Luna breathed between their lips.

Loki nodded as he smiled in the kiss.

Luna kept repeating the treasured phrase that brightened up their gloomy day that afternoon

And, now, here they were, three months later, on a brighter day than that one, lying in bed with their hands on Luna’s stomach, softly caressing it. Loki looking at Luna with such soft eyes, you almost forgot he was the god of trickery for a split moment.

“Well,  any name we give it, male or female, it’ll still be as beautiful as you.” Loki said tenderly.

Luna bashfully laughed and looked down. “Come on, Silver tongue. I’m being serious here. You haven’t thought up of any names?”

“Oh, of course I have.”

“Well…?”

Loki playfully thought about it. “Well, if it’s a girl, we could name her Frigga, after my mother or Luna…” Luna laughed as Loki continued, “because you two are the most beautiful women in my life, darling.”

“Oh, flattery will get you nowhere now that we’re married now, Loki.” It was his turn to laugh now.

“But, it’s true! And as for a boy’s name, I’ve been thinking about Edward or something of that nature.”

Luna scoffed. “Edward?”

“Yes! It sounds like a very majestic and manly Midgardian name.”

Luna snorted which made Loki pout. “Well, what do you have for baby names since you thought mine no good?”

Luna pecked Loki on the nose and stated, “If it’s a girl, Solene….or maybe Frigga.” Loki grinned at that.

“And I really haven’t thought about a boy name. But, I guess we could go with Edward.”

Loki chuckled and kissed her shoulder. Luna blushed and giggled at the tender gesture, but soon made Loki stop which made Loki growl. “No, Loki. I’m getting tired. I think I’m gonna take a nap.”

Loki’s eyes darkened as he kissed her neck and lightly nibbled on it. “But, darling, you look positively radiant. You being pregnant and we’ll be able to start the family we’ve always wanted.” he growled, “It just makes you irresistible, dear.” He stated, his arms wrapping around her while she bashfully laughed.

Luna clung onto her husband and buried her head in his chest. Loki stopped and sunk under the covers embracing Luna.

“Don’t worry, Loki.” Luna yawned. “We’ll get to have a little fun after we wake up, but you’ve got to be gentle from now on.”

“And why would that be?”

“Because I’m carrying our child,” she giggled, her eyes starting to close, “shake me up too much and you might damage the sacred goods.”

Loki laughed softly, kissing her forehead. “I’ll do my best.”
