Topic: Thunder and Mischief (Tachi & Silver_Lady)

[Tachi]

"Are you certain the two are connected? Knowing me and intelligence." Loki continued to tease. It didn't take special thinking to figure out his illusions but knowing him well and being around them often. Of course he didn't think Thor stupid though. Hot headed and stubborn, yes. A fool for rushing into things, but not stupid.

When it came to leaving the Tower, Loki wasn't so certain. He'd just claimed Thor as his and knew how people were when they recognized his brother. It didn't bother him to savor the ache from their relations, only if he was able to keep his mate to himself. "You'd need a disguise. I'm not dealing with a crowd people all over you." It would not end well for them.

"Of course, Ms. Romanoff. I can display all of the current catalogs of any store you'd wish, Sirs." Jarvis responded to Natasha.

"I'd prefer to keep you to myself. I'm tired of sharing you." Loki stated, not ashamed about it. So far he'd had to deal with the Avengers, suitors, the Warrior's Three, and many interruptions. Although it'd, in some ways, helped, he wanted Thor just to himself. Not random strangers who might recognize his mate and ruin their time together. He backed up so Thor could stand, not completely against going out, but not wanting to be bothered at all. It'd be easier to stay in, especially at this hour, and look at Jarvis' catalogs.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor stood up truth be told, some times in times like this he was grateful for Loki's bluntness. Thor was too nice and he was anxious to spend some more time with his mate, he led the way apologising with his eyes to Nat who understood the next few months were going to be hell. Thor mused he rubbed the lower part of his stomach.

It didn't take them long to get the floor. "I must admit I do miss having you to myself as well brother. We won't get any of that when the kids are born. But promise me we will at least get one date night a week off-parenting duty?" He asked as they were entering the floor. Thor grunted as he opened the door for them both. "Jarvis make sure we're not disturbed until the party, if you can." Thor felt nauseous again it stirred up big time before he went to the toilets and closed the door a few minutes later Thor came out after he washed his face. "i'm not going to get used to that." Thor grunted.

"What is the actual point of calling it morning sickness." Thor crouched down allowing his feelings to subside his stomach had been feeling rather uneasy and he hated that feeling. "Volstagg made this look easy how could he possibly enjoy this?" He mused.

Thor stood back up when he felt it subside "I'm sorry you have to be with me through that part, it can't be pleasant for you to feel." Thor apologised. He then went over. "I think setting up the baby's room will be the best bet, I want to get that done so we have nothing to worry about later."  In truth he was worried about seeing his father. He knew that Loki casted a spell for the amulet to hide the pregnancy but what if Odin saw past through it.

More so... What happens if it is a trap? What if Odin did take him away from him?  Panick shot up his spine. 

[Tachi]

Loki glanced at the others still lingering in the labs, but it wasn't really any of his concern why they were still there. He left as soon as Thor started moving, eager to be back away from others. As much as he loved the chaos, sometimes peace and quiet was preferrable. It always helped when one's mind was focused and clear, of which his was still clouded. Now wasn't the time for that but it was just another thing on the long list of what they had to accomplish.

Back in their rooms, he was reminded of another thing they had to prepare for. It was unlikely that they'd allow their children to be in the hands of many. Loki trusted very few and his distrust would bother Thor to the point of being more selective of whom they chose to babysit, if anyone. "Date night." He repeated and then pointed out, "Brother, we've yet to go on a date."  There hadn't been time or the opportunity.

Loki had been on Midguard for quite a while before exposing himself and Thor showing up, so he knew quite a bit about this planet. He could take his mate on a date, and he was certain Tony would have the connections to make it grand, but that was something to think on perhaps after tomorrow. Of course then Thor was running for the toilets and it was likely a good thing they weren't attempting to go anywhere tonight, as a back wave of nausea came through to him.

"Of course, Sirs."

Shutting and locking the door, Loki went and gathered one of the large mugs, filling it with juice instead of mead this time. He had it ready for Thor when he came out. "A cruel joke." He replied over 'morning' sickness. "You'll have to ask him later. Generally we only saw him when he was feeling well enough." Not when he was puking his guts out. Loki stayed beside him while he recovered, able to feel him work through it faintly.

"Hush. It's because the bond's so fresh. It'll become easier to navigate over time. Even if it doesn't, I don't regret a thing about it." It could be felt. As for the baby room, "Tony and Widow have offered to do that for us. There's no saying we can't look through their catalogs though." Did Thor truly think he could hide his worry from him at this point? When he could feel it?

"Thor. Calm yourself, mate." He brought him into his arms. "Enough thinking about 'what ifs'. I said I want you all to myself and you keep on thinking of other people. Do I need to stab you, brother?" Loki teased. "The only others I'll allow you to think about are our children. I'm not going anywhere. I think I've proven that I'm quite difficult to get rid of." Considering everything.

"Now, you either get the choice of looking at those catalogs or I'm binding you to the bed. With magic." As any object wouldn't hold him. Both had their perks.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor snorted at the other's teasing and a gentle reminder of what actual power Loki had. He grinned at the other. Although in brawn, Loki wasn't like him when it came to being a one man army but Loki had other strengths and unfortunately got the better of him. Not only he was far more intelligent, more gracious then him sometimes Thor forgotten what Loki was actually capable of it scared him in ways when he realised that his magic was able to actually bind him.

When Loki said a stab, he knew full well mentally that Loki would never hurt them but his protective instincts shot up. "It won't be wise to stab me brother I know they're yours as well I know what you mean but that doesn't sit well with me." Meaning his mother instincts were kicking, Loki would feel it.The way the teasing suddenly felt threatened. Any other time stabbing was a part of their lives when Loki used to find different ways to tease him. He knew he meant well but still their was that 5% that was anxious of that possibility. His hand went to his stomach immediately a slight growl escaped but he didn't mean it he couldn't control it.

Thor rested his head on Loki's shoulder feeling the warmth of the Alpha's protection. "I don't know what's worse, brother. Odin's pending sentence or carrying the twins to full months whilst dealing with the 9 realms." Thor was just sick of all the stress.

"Perhaps if we circle some of things on the list? maybe that will give us a better indication for Nat and Tony they can do the rest. I wouldn't mind having a snakes on the walls though." He grinned.

Meanwhile Parker came back to the tower he wasn't going to stay for long though he knew that Mr stark was busy. He then put the present close enough for Jarvis to read. "MR Jarvis sir? don't worry about alerting Mr Stark, I have a gift for the Viking warrior and Captain America kind of slipped up that that scary dude I saw earlier might be expecting also so I got them gifts mainly to say sorry for making him mad earlier."  Parker put the parcels on the side. "I also made something for Mr Stark earlier as a Thank you for for the suit." Parker said through to Jarvis.

--
Meanwhile Steve woke up about after an hour's nap against Volstagg mainly because he could feel the little ones kick when his hands were resting against the chest.

[Tachi]

Loki moved his hand over Thor's on his lower stomach. "I would not stab you here. I was thinking your shoulder this time. Perhaps it'll stop you from trying to run off everywhere with Mjolnir swinging." There were plenty of other places to stab that wouldn't endanger their children or Thor's life. There was nothing in his body language or through the bond that said he had any plans on hurting them. He wasn't put off by his mate's protective instincts either.

"How unlucky for us that we are to deal with both." He was considering scolding Thor again for continuing to speak of other things when he softly snorted at the suggestion he gave. "You contradict yourself. You tell me to teach them no mischief, which we both know will not hold up, and then you plan to add snakes and think the story behind it will not come about?" He teased. "You will have small children stabbing you, mark my words, brother." And he'd love every minute of it if the grin he had was any indication.

"Which is all the more reason for me to agree to it." It'd be far too entertaining. Besides, Thor truly did like snakes. "Come, sit down, drink your juice. Jarvis, you can display these catalogs on the tv, correct?"

"Yes, Prince Loki." Jarvis did so, bringing up several images of catalogs from nearby baby and furniture stores from them to choose from.

Loki went over to the couch, waiting for Thor to join him, and toed off his shoes as he scanned the catalog covers. It felt strange to be looking for baby things but he supposed he'd have to get used to that.

--

On the landing pad, and on the way up, Jarvis had observed Spider-man and the packages he had with him, concealed within his backpack. From his analysis there didn't seem to be anything amiss with them or the story he presented. "I will ensure they're delivered to the proper recipients, Spider-man, and inform Mr. Stark of your gratitude. Please do keep your discovered knowledge about the 'scary dude' to yourself for now." Not wanting to mention Prince Loki by name.

--

In another area of the building, Jarvis requested the assistance of one of the Avengers who wasn't busy and he knew to be interested in the upcoming party. "Ms. Romanoff, may I request your assistance? Spider-man has dropped off presents for Sir Volstagg, Mr. Stark, and Prince's  Loki and Thor on the Quinjet landing pad. Might you be kind enough to retrieve them?"

--

Sleeping on, it was a little longer before the kicking got Volstagg awake, a rather well aimed blow having him wincing slightly as he opened his eyes. He notices Steve was awake and kissed the man's forehead before starting to pull away. "You're going to hear this a lot, but I've got to pee again. I swear they target the bladder! Every time!" He got his lumbering form out of bed and found his way to Steve's bathroom to relieve himself.

When he came back it was looking a lot more relieved and less rushed. His focus was on Steve. "How're you feeling?" After being submissive. There was no hesitation to climb back into bed with him, grateful for the heat Jarvis had turned up.

[Silver_Lady]

"No, no asboulutely not. That is where I draw the line to your mischief, Sir." Thor just envisioned tiny little Loki's with Thor's capability in-tact as well just stabbing him. "Don't you ever tell them about when we were 8 you fiends. I can't deny I love them dearly but if I get stabbed every day for the next century, you'd be the one paying for it." Thor established.  He was pretty sure that Loki wouldn't hold back on it either. 

His eyes gazed at his brother he wasn't sure if he was joking or not but his hunch told him he wasn't joking. Unfortunately, not. "I'd have to do something that will get my equal revenge brother." That was an absolute promise he would do that.

He went to go sit down. "I have a weird feeling they'd prefer you better and behave better with you around. They'd definitely be daddy's boys or girls. " And that would definitely not to be in his favour at all. "Do I have to really take it? I can't stomach anything down at the moment it's really bad." Thor frowned he wasn't the type to complain he was simply being honest. He then decided that Loki would win either way so he stopped fighting against it and just drank the dam thing.

He then laid across the sofa his head was resting against Loki's knee on the side of his body, mainly because he didn't feel like sitting up. "Do you.. wish it was one more than the other? in terms of gender?" He asked. "Nat was saying apparantly you can do tricks to determine the gender they're called old wives tales Nat said."
--
"Don't worry Mr. Jarvis, I assumed it was pretty hush hush, I might be a blabber mouth here and their, but you can trust me." Parker said before he took his leave, emptying the backpack where the stuff was. "Are they really Gods?" he asked. "My senses tell me he was something different entirely, not like Mr. Stark. " Before zipping the bag up it was a prototype that he had been working he thought that Mr Stark would appreciate something a bit more than a mundane gift.

It was a clever spider robot very earliest of its creation, so things needed to be improved but the overall thing was there. It was clearly taking form
--

Steve chuckled he couldn't imagine what stress it did to the body, how Volstagg understood and did it over and over again was beyond him he just assumed that everything was connected to the kids that made it 10 times more worth it.

"I'm a bit embarrassed if I'm honest, I acted like I never had sex before." Steve commented, he felt like a baby lamb himself. It had been that long since he had actually let him self go like that in a nature of a submissive. "I'm Grateful you didn't think anything less of me." 

[Tachi]

"Did you just call me 'Sir'?" Loki repeated with curiosity, more fixated on that than the potential of their children becoming stabbing fiends. "Promises, brother." They had many stories about each other, though usually it was Thor telling the snake tale. "I won't allow them to stab you too much. That's my thing." He bestowed upon him a brief kiss before they went to sit down.

"Don't be so certain already." Loki wasn't. Although he could be popular with his magic tricks, he didn't overall have a high tolerance for children. He only tolerated Volstagg's. He fully expected his own to be different, but whom they'd prefer was anyone's guess. As for the juice, "It's apple, it's bland. It's better to have something in your stomach than nothing coming up." He knew this first hand for different reasons now, though he didn't allow the memories to come to him or affect him.

Putting his fingers through Thor's hair once he laid down, he told Jarvis to open one of the baby store catalogues. "We'll have little idea how to address an older girl's issues. I've not taken on a female form in a long time, so it would be easier if they were boys, but I'm not against either." There were always things to read and ways to adjust. "Midguardian wives tales? Why in the Norns would I listen to that when I can perform real magic? They're hardly developed enough to have established genders though. It's far too early to tell."

--

Jarvis ran an analysis of what information he should release to Spider-man, not an Avenger or a trusted ally yet. "They are Asgardian Princes and considered Gods." This was well known information and someone who was known as a 'god' was not to be underestimated or attacked lightly. It wasn't likely that Spider-man would do so, but the information made it even less so.

--

"Why would I think any less of you?" Volstagg challenged, getting right back against Steve and not hesitating to pull him in against him for warmth, though this time he was trying to get the blankets in there as well. The clean ones anyway. Volstagg was an omega himself and often switched between being dominant in nature and submissive. He saw no problem in it. "In a way, it was your first time, as an omega after this change of yours, isn't that right? It's like learning yourself again."

Bringing him in for a firm kiss, he said. "I'm grateful you let your guard down and allowed me to experience it with you. Also that you unknowingly let me use your toothbrush." He chuckled, informing him. Whether he'd be enthused about that, he didn't know. Volstagg wasn't planning on leaving Steve's room tonight though.

[Silver_Lady]

"That makes me so much better that only the stabbing will be you." Thor mentioned. Thor leaned into Loki's thigh's enjoying the touch of his hair being played with, he normally wasn't a fan of that but Loki's fingers it made him feel less tense and relax. He blew out a sigh as if the stress was leaving him. It was hard to imagine that they were going to be parents, eventually they will be kings of the 9 realms it was a lot to take in.

"I think you'd actually be a worry wart when it comes to the little ones." He could see Loki's parenting skills. It was very amusing to think.  Even though they were centuries old, both of them still had childish sense of humour. Loki would most likely argue with a 4-year-old until the 4-year-old acknowledge that Loki was right. It was cute in away. Thor would be amused if the child actually talked back, it was amusing seeing Loki handle Volstagg's children.

"I can't believe you were better at it then I was handling the younger ones I didn't know how to hold his youngest." Thor chuckled Volstagg just pretty much gave it to him taught him the basics of supporting the head and cradle the body Thor held it at arm's length. Loki was actually more of the natural at it whether he wanted to admit it or not. 

Thor remembered when he was down, Loki had always made fire works. It would be great if he could do that with the kids to build that connection. "I tell you what I don't know if I can do the birthing." Thor grunted as he shifted so he was more looking at Loki. The drink was helping his stomach ease. He wanted to be close to Loki, feeling the needy sensation.

"I didn't realise they're being so much to choose from. Jarvis what are the recommended things for first time parents need?" He asked knowing that Jarvis will have a more idea than they did. "Might be worth talking to Volstagg about that." But in all honesty, he was just enjoying being with Loki.

"Did we want them to sleep in the same crib or side by side? I quite like that idea as they get older, but I think they need each other's company." Thor was looking at the pictures reminding himself the colour scheme of Nat and Tony were doing for it. It was just a lot to take in.

"We'd tackle it one way or another I'm sure Siv or other females can help us out with that if need be. Yes, I'm aware of your talented copies." He grinned remembering that he used himself in Thor's stead. Thor yawned as he was starting to get tired his stomach was settling down after the drink.
--
He was very well versed in the knowledge of the legends but to have Gods here. "Should I be worried?" He shouldn't if they're at Mr. Starks tower for a reason he didn't have the right to be worried. He knew that male had tried to take over the world so why would Mr Stark let some one that dangerous. "I saw on the news, Loki I think they said his name was, tried to take over the world? He was dangerous. How is Mr. Stark able to trust him?" He didn't know about the ins and outs but he was dammed if Loki did it again.

"They're..Princes?" He asked He was so confused. Did he just embarrass himself in front of a God? "Did I make him angry?" He asked knowing Jarvis was there he face planted himself.
--
Sensing Volstagg's wants he left the bed for a short while and went to one of the wardrobes and got the messy blanket to be washed and changed it for another it was thicker to hopefully keep the blanket warmer.  "Well yes that is right actually. I suppose I just never told anyone, I was just an Alpha male with a personality complex." He grinned as he tossed the blanket over Volstagg as he got in himself.

He grinned as he enjoyed the body heat and stole a kiss from the Viking. "Who knew this would happen." He avoided dating for several reasons mainly because mostly on Earth general humans aged. It made him feel awkward, but Volstagg was actually older, he had centuries on him. "For once it's been great to be with someone who isn't 30 and creeped out by my genetics." He brushed his hair out with his finger.  "I have to say I'm curious to meet your family." He wanted to see Volstagg's reaction to him.

He fell back a sleep with Volstagg just enjoying each other's company his hand was resting on the bump feeling the kids settle down reacting to Steve's hand as a calming tool.




 

[Tachi]

"It should. You're mine to stab." Always had been. He released a huff of air at being determined a 'worry wart' but didn't bother arguing with him. It was too far away to begin arguing 'what ifs' again. There were certainly some things he'd worry about, though not the same as normal parents. His children knowing who and what they were. Where they belonged and that they did belong. That they were wanted. Things that were taken away from him. No favoritism or pitting them against each other as he and Thor had been, aimed towards the crown.

"It's been well established that you don't pay nearly enough attention." Therefore Thor had to be taught everything. About how to be omega, how to hold a baby, etc. His hand switched from his hair down to rest on his chest when Thor switched positions. "You won't have much of a choice." When it came to giving birth. "You can take on armies, you can have children." Loki said decisively without much thought to it. Surely it couldn't be as painful as some as the things they'd been through.

At the request, Jarvis organized things into a list with pictures and brief descriptions, no longer going off of a catalog. It was arranged by what month it'd be able to be used as well as priority. He did offer advice when he thought it might be needed, "It is perfectly safe for newborns to sleep side by side in the same crib."

"Perhaps until they're older." It'd certainly be more convenient if they were kept together while young. He and Thor were often inseparable all those years ago. Loki didn't think he'd be picking out baby toys anytime this century, or ever. Looking at them with Thor, it was something else. A small bit of distaste came to him at the mentioning of Sif. Did he still not realize she fancied him? Not something he cared to address now. "Later." He said. "It's late. Jarvis, is there a baby toy that's a battle axe?"

It took Jarvis a moment before he displayed a crochet battle axe that'd been made into a rattle. "Would you like me to contact the creator?"

It wasn't exactly like Volstagg's but he knew the man wouldn't care. "Yes. Get it for Volstagg." Turning his attention back onto Thor, he said, "Bed."

"Certainly, Sir." Jarvis turned the screen off and went about doing as requested as Loki worked on getting his mate back to bed. This time for sleep.

--

"This is not something to concern yourself with, Spider-man. Rest assured that Mr. Stark has everything under control." Jarvis was not giving him any further information. "Prince Loki is not often pleased with many people but your presence is virtually insignificant to him. I would not worry about it." It was a statement of fact, not judgement.

--

"We'll see what will happen upon our return to Asgard." Perhaps Odin may be convinced to allow visitors, but he wasn't going to count on it. Of course he didn't know yet of the things that'd happened while they were sequestered away. "They'll love you." And probably tease him to death that he was a pretty boy like Frandal, but kind and more naive. It'd certainly be entertaining. It said something how he felt just fine going back to sleep with Steve's hand on his stomach, right on top of his babes.

[Silver_Lady]

Well, that surely didn't hurt. But it was to be expected by a God's prescience. At least, he thought. But Jarvis wouldn't mean it in the way that it sounded. Loki was a God, he was a human so yeah. Peter nodded. "I will respect Mr's starks wishes but don't worry I won't announce it to anyone about the pregnancy." Parker decided it was best time to leave he didn't want to annoy Jarvis. "Thank you, Jarvis, for answering my questions." He waved his goodbye and used his webs to get away from the Tower, he didn't want to pester them they seemed to have a LOT under their plate right now.
--
Meanwhile Fandral was making his way back from meeting with Heimdall to collect the massive weapon especially designed for Volstagg's size in question, it had weight to it, it was his favourite colour with all his children's names engraved. He was about to invite one of Volstagg's eldest children but he didn't think Tony would appreciate that. Making his way back Hogun had been in the room prepping dinner, as he went into the tower. "Don't worry Jarvis this is for Volstagg's you can examine if you want but it won't be used for harm." Fandral was getting used to talking to Jarvis.

It was certainly weird. He made his way towards the room. "Is Thor up for company?" He asked, he doubted not because they had a lot to deal with tomorrow when they went back to Asgard. Not realising the boys were heading to bed. Propping the weapon that he made for Volstagg on the sofa.
--
It was next afternoon, most of the avengers were getting ready for the party, Nat had taken care of the body of Kurse's ready to be transported she had done her part she had done it so his body was able to be transported when the boys were ready to go home not the most pleasant job in the world. 

"Is this really necessary?" Thor was normally up for gatherings, but it only meant he knew what was next. He was a bit disappointed that he couldn't drink and felt a bit useless without a beer in his hand. Thor wanted to stay in bed and just sleep for a century.  He wasn't sulking per say it was more the fact that he didn't have the energy for it, he was certainly feeling much better, he wasn't coughing with the cold anymore since bonding with Loki.

Thor had finally gotten out of bed. He had a shower and decided to wear his casual clothes. "Jarvis." Thor was looking in the mirror as he was putting on loose fitted jeans, Thor was in fairly fit shape. "What is the likely hood of me needing more jeans? I never gained weight like this before so I have no idea what to expect?" Thor frowned at the prospects. Perhaps he did sit ups? maybe that would keep the weight off?

Thor grinned "A-hah I have defeated all the secrets of pregnancy." Thor couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before.  He then went into the living room where it was larger space and got down the floor ready to do press ups starting with two hands. "If I do some of these a day perhaps it won't even be a problem!" Thor felt relieved, he just prayed that Loki didn't burst this bubble of unrealistic notion of his right now he was clinging to it.

[Tachi]

"I dare say we have far more dangerous weapons around, Sir Frandal." Jarvis replied amicably. He recognized two of the names on the weapon as the two Volstagg had mentioned as the children he was currently carrying, as well as some of his other children. The AI didn't necessarily have to be spoken to but Tony did so often and it was through him that others often picked it up, then became used to the convenience. He was everywhere within the Tower and around Tony, after all.

"Princes Thor and Loki are on their way to bed. Is it important?" Jarvis asked in case they needed to be disturbed.

--

Tony was up early the next day. Early for him anyway, which was still pretty early. He had his coffee in hand and was looking over the party room, going over the food orders that were coming in and the drinks that'd arrived and were being stocked in the bars. There were some expedited, expedited orders that came in of what he assumed were presents that he'd paid for. They all were wrapped by whoever did wrapping and from the appropriate people. He put them on the two tables, one for Volstagg and the other for Thor and Loki. His own were already there.

Pepper joined him not long after, taking the tablet out of his hands. "Excuse you." He said, and she flashed a brief smile at him.

"Everything seems to be in order." He rolled his eyes. "Are you actually on time with things for once?"

"Of course I am. I don't have time to be late. I'm going to Asgard tomorrow to talk to daddy dearest and celebrating his kids hooking up today." She gave him a dry look at his way of working things and he just smiled charmingly. "In my defense, he set them up, so really, blame him."

"I don't even want to think about it. It's really a myth in the making, except it's not a myth." All those stories of Gods having sex with each other and random creatures, etc.

"Kinda kinky." Tony continued to grin and she smacked him with the tablet. He laughed and then went over with her the plans for today.

--

Since they'd stayed up so late, Loki had slept in a bit with Thor, but wasn't so bothered about the upcoming social event. It was partially celebrate their mating and pregnancy, after all. "Are you, brother, actually looking for an excuse not to party?" Simply because his alcohol was taken away? Loki may be wearing 'casual' clothes, but they were nearly painted on. Tight, leather pants that did wonders for his thighs and ass, and a silk shirt that clung to him. Forest green this time, instead of black. He might as well also have fun teasing Thor.

"It is unlikely that you'll need new clothes for another few months, Prince Thor." Jarvis responded. With how tight Thor's muscles were, it'd be quite a while before he showed and started gaining weight.

Loki came out from the bathroom, fussing over his hair, slicked back, to find Thor exercising in the living room. His eyes roamed over him. He knew what he was doing, but if it didn't harm the children then did he really want to stop the possible daily display? "Darling, your workout routine is far more rigorous than that." Walking over to him, he didn't give warning as he climbed up onto his back, sitting cross legged on him. Thor should easily be able to handle his weight and more.

--

Sleeping in for long wasn't exactly something Volstagg was allowed to do when he was pregnant or with young ones. Either he was woken up by one or the other, without fail. It had him climbing out of bed twice more during the night just to go to the bathroom and again in the morning when he got up. It was a hassle, but he handled it well and with good humor. That morning, half dressed, he didn't come back from the last bathroom trip and instead raided Steve's kitchen, not thinking he'd mind it too much when he started making them breakfast.

It consisted of bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast. Some things he asked Jarvis about, otherwise it was fairly similar to Asgard and his previous trips to Midguard. He didn't know when Steve usually got up, not knowing the man was known for being an early riser.

[Silver_Lady]

Thor grinned at the challenge and did so without any hesitation he had shifted his weight comfortably and carried Loki with ease now that majority of his strength was back. "How much do you think I can get away without it hurting? that's reassuring that my body won't change that much I can do what I had planned originally without worrying it showing." Thor mentioned it wouldn't be that hard to get back into shape and recover. Working out and being fit so he was ready for war was one thing that he enjoyed doing.

The one thing he couldn't stand the idea of was being useless for 9 months during the pregnancy even if he was carrying twins, he had no idea what to expect how different his body would be. He had been so independent for the majority of his life he never had to worry about it in fairness it relaxed him his tight muscles from stress slowly relaxing.

"It means I should be able to do what I have planned I'd use Heimdall's eyes to see what needs to be done in each realm I'd get most of the travelling done. Before I get too pregnant." Thor finally done his work out, as he stopped and made sure that Loki didn't fall off and waited for him to get off.

"How much of the 9 realms we can do before it's not safe? " Thor asked. If they had a game plan of how much change would happen. Then he'd feel much safer about the entire ordeal. "Don't worry I won't change my agreement with you about taking the crown I'm just putting a plan in place so things go swiftly." Thor said.
--
Steve felt bad for Volstagg,  he heard the shuffling going to the bathroom and coming back since he was going to the toilet. It was however when he heard the smells coming from the kitchen that lured him out. "You didn't have to do that." Steve commented as he hugged the male from behind. "I bet you'd be relieved when you're finally able to have a full nights rest, but then again you'd have little ones to take care off." Steve remarked his own words realising that was probably a stupid thing to say.

"What's the plans for today?" Steve asked as he stretched feeling fully refreshed and less antsy since the sex . "I don't know how much I can help but if I can do anything when the babies are born, you know you got me right?" Steve wanted Volstagg to know that if he wanted date night, sex night, Steve was up for anything to spend more time with the Viking. He couldn't beleive that Volstagg was leaving tonight.

"It won't show with the necklace on." Loki reminded him. It'd been meant to hide the pregnancy. If he wasn't going to hide it then perhaps he should find another pendant to enchant solely with protection and location charms. "Light exercise and aerobics. None of your weight or weapons training." As helpful as those things were, and required as a warrior, they were not safe for an expectant mother. "Speak to Volstagg about it." Though the man did less than Thor likely wanted to when he was pregnant.

Thor was adamant on travelling between the realms. Loki didn't even bother to say anything about it at this point. When the movement stopped, he figured his ride over and climbed off his mate, sitting on the couch instead with his legs crossed. "We are not going to solve all of the nine realms problems within a few months, brother. Find the key issues to focus on. We've thousands of years. I refused to be rushed through it." It wouldn't help anyone. It was a countdown to child birth, not the end of the realms.

He sighed. As much as he didn't like it, "Jotunheim will have to be one of them." Everyone would want to see him 'paying for his crimes'. That meant dealing with Midguard, Jotunheim, and Asgard. Midguard was taken care of and Asgard would come along with everything else. It was Jotunheim that'd be the problem. The rest was just smoothing relations. However things hadn't changed with that realm. It was still forbidden to travel there, as far as he knew, and it'd be dangerous. A danger he didn't want to expose Thor to right now.

"Did you work yourself up to another shower?" He said, changing the subject and not wanting to speak more of it right now. "I don't believe it's set to start yet."

Putting his hand on one of Steve's, Volstagg had a spatula in the other, turning over the sizzling food and getting ready to take it off onto a serving plate. "You don't sleep properly until all the kids are off to schooling, and then it's only half the time." He chuckled. "An' I know I didn't have to." Yet here he was cooking. He did know how to do some omega things. He'd even somewhat figured out the dishwasher with the help of Jarvis! Which helped quite a bit with the bits they'd left out last night.

"Don't know yet." He said about the plans, getting the rest of the food items plated. A fond smile was given to the blonde. "Aye, you've made that quite clear." That Steve was available for him.

"Mr. Rogers, may I borrow you in another room for a moment? It's concerning some Avenger's classified information." Jarvis interrupted politely.

Thor raised an eyebrow. "You spoil my fun." He teased. "I might grab another shower, although to be fair that was barely breaking a sweat. It's good to have some of my energy back at least."  He knew that his actual training would have to past, but he knew that Loki would probably most likely take charge of. Especially the fact when Thor was recovering. He didn't like the idea of not being able to fulfil his duties.   

"I will speak with Volstagg but not that I'm going to be happy about it." He grinned at the other. He was used to being able to get things done and hadn't had to ask for anything else.  "It's hard work, I don't know what's worse the preganncy and being sick or actually being told I can't do my training." Thor grunted as he felt the nausea coming up. He groaned at the very thought of it.

"I know I know, it's not going to be easy but I just spent the last years making things at peace after your mayhem. I just wanted to make sure that every one is okay and make appearances. "

"Brother, I'm not going to be even showing until a few months, so I should be able to do a little bit of my warrior's training."  He was trying to bargain with that. But he doubted that Loki would do it. He wouldn't be persuaded at that.

Steve grinned at the male enjoying the male's company. He kissed Volstagg's on the back of the neck soothingly before he heard Jarvis's command. "Looks like I'm needed I will be back in a few." He commented he went to the bedroom
and went to close the door. "What is that you want Jarvis?" Steve was confused with what he wanted to talk to Steve about.

[Tachi]

"You are full of complaints today. Relax. I've killed Kurse and there's no consequence for it, we are mated and it is known, and you get to slack on training for a while. Most would jump at the chance." Loki rolled his eyes, uncrossing his legs and standing up as Thor mentioned his mayhem again. "Are you going to keep bringing that up?" He stalked the short distance over to him, showing off the way his clothes clung to him.

With a little smirk he ran his hand over his cheek. "Here you are complaining about warrior training when you could be getting sex whenever you want it. But I suppose if you'd rather swing that hammer around instead." He patted his cheek with a tsk and then turned, heading for the door. "Go annoy the Three with your whining. I'll be irritating Tony by arriving obnoxiously early." Loki declared with a tease, deciding he wanted to see what the man had planned. It was really Thor who was getting the presents, as he was the one with child.

"Excuse my interruption and deception, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise and the two of you were quite busy last night. Mr. Stark is throwing a going away party for the warriors today and combining it with a baby shower for Sir Volstagg as well as a celebration for Princes' Thor and Loki's mating. I wanted to give you the time to pick out a gift for the men in question before it was too late, Sir." There wasn't a tv in Steve's room, him being the old fashioned guy that he was, but Jarvis did send suggestions to his phone, which lit up. "I have sent several suggestions to your phone. If you'd like to let me know your choices, I can ensure the speediest of deliveries."

Meanwhile, Volstagg took no offense to the official business, used to it with Thor, and finished dishing everything up before taking it to the table. Everything that wasn't still burning hot went into the dishwasher for cleaning and he thought he did a pretty good job of using this Midguardian technology. He was only wearing his underclothes right now, none of the armor, and took a seat, taking a drink and getting settled while he waited for Steve.
