Taming The Family

3. Baby

Sera's P.O.V.

I walked through the sweet smelling air. The light cut around the lushes pink blossoms of the cherry trees and a light green grass glazed the land like frosting.

Cotone (The Negative Zone) had become our home. It was beautiful and we were the only people living on it. Though we weren't alone, we shared the planet with many mystical creatures.

I looked up to the sweet smelling sky. The atmosphere above was baby blue with orange and pink dancing clouds. The air always smelled sweet like sugar and at night it was like a magnifying glass to the stars.

I let out a soft breath and continued to walk through the forest. It was peaceful and welcoming. The light tan dress I wore flowed behind me as I took each step. It was like silk and gathered over one shoulder before flowing down my frame.

My finger tips brushed along the delicate petals of rainbow decorated flowers. My mind wandered back to when me and Loki had gotten married. It was a sunny day, somehow we had convinced all the Avengers and ex Avengers to come to our wedding. Even Thor's ghost attended!

Now look at us. My hand traveled to the small bump on my stomach, gently rubbing circles on it. The small baby inside me would have the best life. We were going to spoil him or her rotten.

My brown eyes focused on the flowers around me. Big purple and pink orchid surrounded me. It was almost like I was in a fantasy world. It boggled my mind that places like this existed.

I reached up to brushed my finger tip against the soft petal. It was like a cloud against my skin. I smiled to myself and turned to walk further down the path.

As I walked I froze in place when I felt a sharp needle like thing stick into my skin. I winced and lifted my finger to the sensitive spot. I found something small brown and sticky sticking out of my skin.

Maybe it's a STICK...

Shut up.

When I pulled it out to examine it my big brown eyes couldn't tell what it was. It was a small stick and the brown turned to a pink and purple, much like the flower I just touched.

I rubbed my neck and shrugged it off. I was about to continue my walk until the gong echoed through the sky.

I looked back to the palace that was in the distance. It was evening time and I knew I shouldn't keep Loki waiting.

I shrugged off the unique plant and started my walk back to the palace.

I made my way up the spiral steps and into our shared room. The medium sized bedroom was only lit by the fire in the corner. The blue flames swirled in the golden fireplace with grace.

I smiled when my eyes landed on my favorite person in the world. His long raven hair was slicked back and his green eyes skimmed the page.

I walked over to the desk, playing with a stray thread from my dress. "What are you reading?" I hummed, tapping on his desk to gain his attention.

He looked up from his book and smiled. "Old texts I found in the library, nothing too fancy." He replied, rising from his chair. It made a squeak as he slid against the wooden floor.

I nodded my head. "Cool."

His tall frame paced over to me and he held out his hand. I gladly took it and followed him to the chair next to the fireplace.

The blue flames warmed my skin as Loki pulled me into his lap. I rested against his chest and listened to the rhythm of his heart.

He wrapped one arm around my back and his hands rested on my belly bump. I looked down and placed my hands over his. I felt him start to make circles on my stomach as I did so.
