Adopted by Loki

Chapter 39

I entered the house and noticed everyone eating dinner. I quickly ran up the stairs before Bucky could stop me and make me sit down and eat with them. I felt guilty as I sat on the bed. I covered my face and a thought popped in, “Gabriel can you appear please.” I looked up and saw his golden eyes studying me, “I need help because I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” he shrugged, “there seems to be nothing wrong with you sugar.” I sighed throwing my hands up, “there has to be because I can’t even look at food without wanting to throw up so something is wrong.” he furrowed his eyebrows, “it might be stress in all honesty unless you’re carrying a little one.” I turned bright red and immediately shook my head, “no Gabriel I am most definitely not pregnant.” I rubbed my face on the verge of tears, “sure I’m stressed, but I’ve been stressed more than this before so why am I getting like this all of a sudden.” my stomach lurches and I run to the bathroom holding my hair back as I puke up the contents of my stomach causing me to groan and suddenly I remember the night Jefferson asked me to marry him I twisted the ring on my finger, “since I’m part angel that means the pregnancy would be quicker than normal right?” I started shaking as he nodded, “yeah probably only two to three months at most.” I ran a hand through my hair as tears pricked my eyes, “I think I’m pregnant.” a single tear ran down my face as I tried to figure out how I would tell Jefferson, “I’m calling a friend up here and you wanna remain under the radar so it’d be best if you leave.” he nodded kissing my head, “remember I’m here for you if you need me.” I nodded. I conjured a message sending it to Wanda keeping my voice steady as possible Wanda can you send my dad up please I twisted the ring more as my anxiety crept up on how he would react. A knock rang out and I stood and opened the door letting in my father keeping my face hidden I closed the door behind him locking it sitting back on the I ran a hand through my hair, “I’m just gonna come out and say it I’m scared of how you’ll react but I think I’m pregnant.” his jaw dropped and his eyes widened, “seriously?!” I nodded and he jumped up and hugged me, “sweetheart this is amazing isn’t it?” I nodded, “I’m so happy, but I’m also terrified like what if Jefferson doesn’t want another kid or something bad happens to the baby?” my mind started racing a million miles an hour then I remember the pool swimming always managed to calm me down. “Sweetheart he’s stupid if he rejects this child and I will make him regret being born if that happens.” I nodded and laid my head on his chest taking a deep breath, “okay out I’m gonna go swimming and calm myself some more.” he nodded kissing the top of my head and left I changed into my bikini and immediately noticed my stomach seemed larger than before and I turned to the side and ran my hand over the bump smiling. I wrapped myself in a towel and headed downstairs ignoring the stairs and walked outside laying my towel down and dove into the pool head first letting out a little shiver at how cold the pool is I surfaced and saw the team staring at me with grins on their faces and Jefferson grinned wider, “nice tattoo love.” his sight was on my collarbone and I blushed as I realized that I had a mad hatter quote on my chest. I swam to the edge where they were, “I have more but you guys usually never see them since they’re covered.” I revealed the other two older ones than my newest one I had only gotten a month prior then Steve’s eyebrows furrowed, “wait a minute you were sixteen when Loki adopted you how did you get these?” I smirked, “y’know Stevie there is such a thing called a fake I.D. how do you think I beat Stark in that drinking contest?” his jaw dropped causing me to giggle everyone just subtly shook their head at me. I saw Grace staring so I waved my hand and she hand a swimsuit on so I opened my arms for her to jump into which she did with a gleeful noise I hugged her to me, “hey.” she giggled and hid her face in my shoulder and I leaned in whispering in her ear, “do you like little Henry over there?” she giggled and nodded causing me to grin a little wider, “okay who else wants to go swimming?” only Henry, Wanda, Natasha, and Jefferson raised their hands so I waved my hand and Henry and Jefferson had swimming trunks while Wanda had on a bikini and Nat had a one piece since she liked to cover the scar on her stomach. They jumped in and Wanda swam over whispering in my ear so I nudged Grace in the direction of Jefferson, “so why did you request Loki earlier?” I cleared my throat whispering back, “can you keep a secret?” she nodded and I locked pinkies with her, “I’m pregnant.” her eyes widened and hugged me causing me to giggle, “I don’t know how to tell Jefferson though.” she wiggled her eyebrows and I jumped when I felt arms wrap around my waist silently thanking that you couldn't really notice the bump too much, “tell me what?” I giggled, “if I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?”
