The Tower: Unexpected

Thor

We all settled in to the new house. It was far enough away from the construction and with the forest to act as a barrier so it didn't really bother us. When the offices were mostly ready operations began to start up again. Including recruitment and liaising with the government.

None of that affected me very much though. There were always a few people at home and they were all planning to be there full time for a while after the babies were born until they gradually eased back into things after the compound was done.

At 35 weeks not much had changed. I was still on partial bed rest. Which meant very little really. I mostly just hung around the house or garden and took it easy. It was nice having them around as much as they were. It was nice all of us going to bed in the same bed and eating our meals together. This change was good for us. They had been my family for years but it was only really now that we were acting like it.

We were all eating together when a storm hit us out of nowhere. A full thunderstorm, complete with pummeling rain and lightning.

"That wasn't in the forecast," Steve said, glancing out the window.

I sat up straighter and looked out the window. "Is it Thor?"

Steve glanced over at Bucky and Bucky nodded. "Yeah, that's probably a safe bet," Steve said.

"Oh, man. If you guys have orgies and I can't participate I'm gonna be so mad at you," I half-whined.

"They wouldn't dare," Natasha said.

"Good," I said sitting back again. "They better not."

"If it is him, how'd he find where we live?" I asked.

"Heimdall, ya dork," Bucky said.

"Oh yeah, right," I said and went to take a bite of garlic bread, pausing just at my lips. "You think he'd bring Loki this time? Oh my god, you think Loki will be their Aunt slash Uncle?"

"El. Zolotse. Relax okay?" Natasha said rubbing my back.

"Lady, Elly!" Thor boomed, striding into the room. "I hear you are with child." He paused and looked me over. "My child."

I looked up at him opened my mouth to say something. Closed it. Then opened it again. "Yours?"

"Aye, one is mine. The other belongs to the Archer," Thor said.

I looked down at my stomach back up at Thor and then over at Clint feeling completely dumbfounded. "I - I - I'm having a demigod and a normal human?"

"Aye. That's right," Thor said as Clint made a soft noise like he was trying to hold himself together.

"How do you know?" I asked.

Thor chuckled and crouched down in front of me. "Have we not done proper introductions?"

"What do you mean?"

"For why I am qualified to know this?"

I shook my head and looked around at the others to see if they understood what was going on. They all looked as confused and shocked as I was feeling. Thor chuckled and cupped my jaw, caressing my cheek with his thumb. Thor chuckled. "I am Thor son of Odin. I am also as you would phrase it. A god. Gifted in fertility."

I dropped my jaw. "You did this to me!"

"Well, it is my child," he said, looking slightly confused.

"No, I mean, I was on birth control. You... You did it."

"That is ... a possibility," Thor said. "I'm sorry if it caused you any distress. It was certainly not intentional."
