"Are you alright?! What happened?" Thor frantically asks, looking around. "Are you hurt? Why did you scream?"
"What am I doing here?" I asked, ignoring his questions.
"After the battle with Loki, we came back to your flying Head Quarters. Director Fury was worried. You hadn't woken up for a day. When I came in, you were worse than you previously were. Your husband thought it would be best for you and your child if you came to Asgard. We brought you, the Tesseract, and Loki here." Thor responded.
"Is Nick alright?! Is everything alright at base? I need to go back! I need to help with the press!" I said, getting up.
"No! Sit down. The Director told me you would react this way, so he told me to tell you that it's best for the baby if you stay here until he's born." Thor said, pushing me down.
"But-"
"No, stay here. Or I'll get father."
"Ugh!" I exclaimed. I burrowed myself deeper into the bed in defeat. I stayed that way for the entire time Thor was gone. When he came back, he wasn't alone.
"Mildri!" Sif screeched, running towards me. She immediately attacked me in a hug. "I can't believe you're really back!"
"Hello Mildri," Fandral said. "It is good to see you again. How have you done in Midgard?"
"Quite well, thank you for asking." I replied.
"You certainly ate enough!" Volstagg exclaimed.
"She is pregnant, you dolt!" Sif said while slapping the back of Volstagg's head.
"Congratulations Mildri. Are you having a boy or girl?" Hogun inquired.
"I am having a boy. I hope he takes after his father." I replied.
"Well, I hope he doesn't. It is bad enough that I have to see him when I am helping Earth, I don't want to be reminded every time I look at my nephew." Thor grumbled
"Who is your husband?" Fandral asked.
"He is Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is very important and protective. As soon as I welcome my child into life, I am staying with Nick." I replied.
"He sounds wonderful!" Sif gushed. "Why does Thor express so much distaste for him?"
"Nick used the Tesseract as a power source for weapons. I didn't know about this until Thor and the rest of the Avengers found out. I almost didn't talk to him. But, I had been knocked unconscious during a battle afterwards. I couldn't stay angry with him when he looked so worried for myself and our child." I said, trying to put a positive spin on the events.
"How foolish of him! He must have attracted Loki and his allies." Volstagg exclaimed.
"He did not know the danger of using the Tesseract! How could he? He is but a Midgardian, he knows not of the dangers waiting for a chance to get the Tesseract." I shouted.
"We know, he must have been trying to help Midgard. He had a fairly good plan. Especially since he did not know of the consequences." Hogun reasoned.
"So, how did the two of you meet?" Sif asked while sitting next to me.
"Well, I hadn't been in Midgard for too long. I was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. It didn't work. I had gotten onto S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar. A man named Phil Coulson came to take me into HQ. They were worried I was a threat. I was put into an automobile and driven to HQ. There, I was escorted to an all white room. I was sat at a table and handcuffed. I waited for about twenty minutes.
