Book Two: Ch. 3

Chapter 3: Unattainable

Mal's P.O.V.

I've been so nauseous lately. First, I had gotten extreme pains across my abdomen. At the same area I had gotten surgery done; for my injury all those years ago.

So, I had to force myself to visit the clinic.

I managed to get an MRI and the results were unbelievable. There was barely any sign of the surgery, my body was just as before I had the hysterectomy.

I was then referred to a gynaecologist, who made me take a pregnancy test. It came out positive. How was this possible?

I closed the door as I entered home. I looked for Loki at his reading spot out back, and surely he was there. "Hey, Love." He addressed, with his charming smile.

"Hi." I exhale, just lost for words. He stood up, as he took notice of my expression. "What is it?"

"I-I don't know how to explain this or how it-it even happened." I stammer. "Shh, just tell me." He consoles. "I know it's impossible with the hysterectomy but, it turns out I'm exactly the same before it."

"Loki, I'm pregnant." I disclose.

"I'm gonna be a father?" Loki, grins from ear to ear. "Yes." I nod. He embraces me, picks me up, spins with joy, then gently places me back down.

"How, is this possible?" I chuckle.

"I might have found a cure— a potion, to fertilize the barren womb." "You only needed a couple drops in your daily cup of tea." He sheepishly explains.

"-and you didn't tell me?" I gasp.

"I wanted the surprise of finding out, if we were going to be parents." "Besides I am the god of mischief." He clasps his hands around my waist.

"Yah, you definitely pulled a fast one with this." I scoff, as I reach up his shoulders to play with his hair. He chuckles in return.

"I'm gonna be a father." He sighs in astonishment and plants a kiss on my lips.

Six months later...

My stomach was definitely protruding. Loki and I took the time we had from the daycare off; to prepare the nursery. We decided to keep the gender of our child a surprise so; we went for a gender neutral approach.

Loki organized the staff and the parents of the children; which attended our centre, to surprise me with a baby shower. It got very emotional, especially when I discovered my mother's arrival. It was all Loki's idea to get her on a plane to Norway.

I managed the pregnancy with the help of Loki but, it was getting difficult. So, my mother's presence here was a major blessing.

She knew the path I took after I resigned from S.H.I.E.L.D.; due to our continuation of communication. At first she was skeptical about it but, she saw how happy I was here with Loki. She found him to be very charming and was happy to call him her son-in-law.

Three months later...

My days toward labour were very close, I was due in three days time but; I had began to get contractions nineteen hours later.
