One night turned into one week and one week turned into one month, Pepper still taking residence in the tower, and Steve still not returning her phone calls. It was now August and things were cooling down a bit, Loki and Tony finally able to wake up not stuck together, but other than this it was the same as any other morning. Tony would wake up, stretch, pull the covers back to kiss his little one and then cover his tired lover back up. Loki was now eleven weeks along and slept threw most the morning, being fatigued this month.
Tony then went to fetch the cup of coffee JARVIS already had made for him and brought some tea to Loki, sitting it on the nightstand for when he'd awake, and putting two lumps of sugar the way he knew he liked it. Walking into the living room, he then plopped down on the couch beside Pepper, who was always already up, and cuddled up beside her.
"So what are you up too this morning, Pep?" He asked casually, taking a long sip of his coffee and looking to see what was on the TV. Pepper was watching House Hunters International and rubbing her belly tentatively, her face full of discomfort.
"Eh, just sitting here. I don't really feel great today, Tony, I think the food I ate last night gave me cramps." Considering Loki and Pepper both had had a massive taco bell craving at around midnight the previous night, it didn't really surprise Tony, and he chuckled.
"I warned the two of you that those volcano burritos were a bad idea, but no. You couldn't just order tacos like normal people." Pepper giggled and playfully slapped Tony, the two of them sharing a chuckle that ended in a slight moan of pain for the blonde girl. Tony shot her a sideways glance as he took another sip of his coffee, eying the way she was holding her stomach.
"You know, you're eight months pregnant, Pepper. It's not going to be long now, and Steve really needs to suck it up and be there for you. It's not that Loki and I won't take care of you if push comes to shove, we will, but still I mean it's kind of ridiculous." Pepper took a deep breath and shook her head.
"Oh, I'm fine, Tony. I have a month to go, hopefully by then Steve will get his head out of his ass." Suddenly there was a crash of thunder and Loki walked sleepily into the living room.
"Thor called, he says Fury's trial should be coming up soon and that you are totally kicked out of the Avengers." Tony snorted.
"Like I care, I never wanted to be one anyway." He scooted over and Loki snuggled between him and Pepper, wrapping his arm around the girl, who he'd become unusually close to since she'd been there.
"You alright, Pepperoni? You look like you're in pain." Pepper just shrugged it off and curled into the God, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, it's probably just some Braxton Hicks contractions." Tony's eyebrows creased with worry.
"Pepper, you said just a few minutes ago is was food pain, is it getting worse?" Pepper nodded.
"A little, but seriously, don't worry about it. Like I said, I have a month left." Loki gently rubbed Pepper's baby bump is a soothing manor and cooed gently.
"Calm yourself, little one. It's not quite time to come see us yet." Pepper relaxed a little and the thunder cracked again, rain beating harder and harder against the windows.
"Hey Rock of Ages, call your brother back and tell him to put a sock in it will you? All this thunder is making me really uneasy." There hadn't been a thunderstorm in New York since Bucky died, and even Loki was a little put off and disturbed by the memories this storm was rousing. Loki got up and walked to the window, watching the sky blacken and then checking the clock.
"It's only ten in the morning…it never rains this early." It was about that time it flashed across the television that they were under flash flood warning.
"Anthony…are we safe? What does that mean?" Tony beckoned for Loki to come back to the couch and he pulled him into his lap.
"We're fine, babe, you'll never be hurt ever again, I promise you that. Stark tower is pretty resistant and if it comes to it I will put you in one of my suits, nothing is going to happen to you. Now go get my camera, we haven't taken our weekly picture of our little brussel sprout yet." Their monthly check up had been the day prior, and this was now apparently the size of their baby, to Tony's delight. He just couldn't get over how fast it was growing, last month it had only been the size of a blueberry. Loki smiled happily to himself, knowing that so much of Tony's joy in the growth of their baby stemmed from having come so close to losing it. It was then that it had fully sank in how precious this child was to the both of them.
"Lift up your shirt, RG." Tony prompted, once Loki had returned, revealing the tiny yet larger bump that was taking form between his hips. The picture was hardly snapped before Loki turned his head, watching as a little trail of water leaked out from under Pepper and she turned bright red.
"Um that's not…" She started, cut off by the look Loki was giving her.
"Okay…it is. We need to see a doctor." Tony was suddenly snapped out of his daze and a look of panic crossed his face.
"Well that's a problem Pepper, because it's flooding outside and the only hospital safe enough to drive to in this weather, we were kicked out of." Loki ran back to the window and peaked out, gasping loudly and turning to his boyfriend with a reluctant expression.
"Yeah…we aren't going anywhere. Anthony….your car is absolutely filled with water, you left the top down." A look of sheer horror etched deeply into Tony's features, immediately running for the door.
"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW, THE CAR CAN WAIT!" Pepper screeched, a contraction hitting her hard. Tony stopped dead in his tracks and shivered, never hearing Pepper use such a tone with anyone.
"O-Okay, sorry, Pep." Loki looked wide-eyed at Tony, taking a shaky breath and looking around for equipment.
"What do we do? We're going to have to help her deliver it. We have things that can help in our machine room right? Like the heart monitor…do we need that? Just tell me, I'll get it." Tony smiled at the way Loki had called the machine room theirs, shrugging his shoulders as his goofy smile only spread.
"I'm as clueless as you, I'm not quite a father yet you know, I believe I have a few more months." Loki chuckled gently, his eyes alight with that playful mischief that Tony had grown to adore.
"Well I guess we'll learn together then, would you help deliver this baby with me, my love?" Tony just rolled his eyes at his boyfriend's cheesiness and walked over to Pepper.
"Which end do I take? The hand holding one or the baby catching one?" Loki seemed to think for moment before grinning.
"Well since I expect you to be catching ours, I'll spare you from catching this one, you get hand holding duty." Tony sputtered a bit, going to get a damp cloth, putting it on Pepper's forehead, and taking her hand.
"You think I'm catching our baby?" Loki nodded, taking off Pepper's pants and panties as he did so.
"Well yes. I told you I didn't want to give birth in a Midgardian hospital, I want to give birth in our bed, just us around." Tony shook his head in wonder.
"With what parts?" Loki burst into laughter.
"I don't yet know, I need to look in to that, but if we must, why can't you do that…what did you call it, c-section?" Tony's mouth dropped but his eyes filled with so much affection.
"You trust me to do that?" Loki nodded, sharing a longing filled gaze with Tony for several moments before Pepper's screaming brought Loki back to reality. She squeezed Tony's hand hard, another ear shattering scream bellowing from her lungs as Loki looked intently at Pepper's nether regions.
"Well I don't see anything yet, but I don't know how long these things take…" Pepper was becoming awfully frustrated, grunting loudly as she got a pushing urge.
"Damn it, Loki, just go get a blanket or towel to catch him in and call Steve, if he can't be here I at least want to hear his voice. And hurry, this baby is coming quicker than he should be!" Loki ran quickly to the bathroom and grabbed Pepper's towel, also grabbing for Tony's cell phone on the coffee table.
"Anthony, quick, what's your passcode!" Loki squeaked freaking out a little as Pepper pushed a second time and he saw a little blood. Loki fiddled around stupidly with the unfamiliar Midgardian contraption, not even realizing until after he figured out how to access the keypad what Tony's code meant. He hit Steve's number and blushed deeply, once again gazing into Tony's knowing eyes.
"That's the day we found out." Tony nodded, a small smile on his lips. When he heard Steve's voice on the end of the device he handed it to Pepper.
"S-Steve?" There was a heavy sigh of annoyance, but Steve didn't hang up on her this time.
"Pepper, listen, I am trying to cope with everything right now, okay? And I'm sorry if I made you feel like it was your fault, but I just can't do this right now, and you calling me five thousand times isn't making anything better." Steve's voice was strained and sad, and she didn't want to make things worse, but she was in so much pain.
"I just thought you would want to know that I'm in labor." Steve was about to take everything back and drop everything to somehow come to her, but then he heard Tony's voice in the background, gently urging Pepper to push and telling her everything was going to be okay.
"And who is by your side, but your ever loyal boyfriend, right?" He quipped, tears forming in Pepper's eyes.
"You know it's not like that! Tony loves Loki, he loves him so much, and you'd know that if you bothered to get to know either of them." There was silence on the other end for a moment, Steve flinching a bit as he heard Pepper scream, her next push bringing the baby down far enough for Loki to begin to see his head.
"Loki is just a play thing, Pepper. If you haven't noticed, Stark is nothing but a drunken pervert, he's just trying to get over you, and it isn't working. So you know what, just forget the engagement, I'm done." Steve hung up and Pepper let the phone fall from her hand, breaking into a loud cry and Tony took her head in his hands.
"Listen, I don't know what the bastard said to you but we will deal with it later, okay? Right now your baby needs you to be strong, alright?" Pepper nodded, sniffling and asking Loki how things were looking down there.
"I would say two more good pushes, and you've got this." She barred down hard, Loki readying the towel as the baby's head emerged. Pepper cried out to Loki that it burned and he gently rubbed her legs for her.
"I know it does, but you're doing such a good job Pepper, you're almost done." Pepper gave one last glass-shattering cry and pushed out the baby's shoulders, the little boy sliding easily into Loki's arms after that. He brought him forward and lay him on Pepper's chest, gently rubbing the towel on his skin and wiping away the blood.
"There you go little one, there's your mummy." He cooed, softly patting away the last of the fluids from the child's hair.
"How did anyone ever believe you to be evil?" Pepper whispered quietly, looking up gratefully at Loki. His eyes darkened and he shot her a sad smile.
"Don't you worry about that, bond with your baby. Can't believe he's a ginger." Tony snorted.
"Well Pepper's a natural ginger, the blonde is relatively new. He might be premature, but he doesn't have an issue with his lungs does he?" He teased with a laugh, the child's cries filling the room. Pepper giggled.
"He isn't really small either, I think if he'd been full term I would have been in trouble." The three of them laughed in unison, gathering around the tiny child, fawning over his bright copper hair and crystal blue eyes.
"What's his name?" Pepper seemed to think for a bit, pondering everything that had happened throughout this pregnancy, who had been there, who hadn't. It didn't take her long to come up with an answer.
"Bucky. Bucky Anthony." Loki grinned.
"I think that's a brilliant name." Tony smiled smugly and wrapped an arm around Pepper.
"You don't have to do that, Steve's going to be mad." Pepper shook her head.
"I don't care. Who has taken care of me all this time? Not him." Tony rolled his eyes.
"True. But old Roger's will come around. He's stuck in the 1940's, it isn't in his DNA to ditch his baby mama. He's probably just mad you popped the kid out before you married him. That was frowned upon back then, you know." Loki walked into the kitchen to get some scissors.
"How does one go about cutting an umbilical cord?" Pepper pointed to Tony's bedroom.
"Go get some shoe laces, we have to clamp it off first." While Loki was gone, Tony grinned like a Cheshire cat at Pepper.
"Well this certainly disrupted the morning routine, what an interesting morning." Pepper shrugged.
"What else were we going to do? House Hunters was getting boring." Tony gasped playfully.
"How dare you, House Hunters is ritual in this tower! Or at least it has been since you moved back in." Pepper laughed.
"Well, you needed a change from the normal crap you watch." Once Loki was back, Tony helped the God properly cut the cord and both Pepper and Bucky got in the bathtub to fully get clean. Loki inquired about cleaning the particular couch cushion that Pepper's water broke on, but Tony's solution was flipping the cushion over and stretching out, pulling Loki on top of him.
"You are so gross." Tony only nodded, not wanting to talk, just cuddle. Loki got the hint, curling up on Tony like a cat as Tony's arms snaked around him and he sat his chin atop his head.
"See? We can do this, Anthony. Here. And I trust our baby to be safe in it's daddy's hands. Pepper and Bucky are fine." Tony sighed and caressed Loki's back, enjoying the comfort of his body against his.
"We'll see, baby. I'm happy you have that much faith in me, though." Loki nuzzled into him and smiled wistfully.
"I love you." Tony's heart fluttered like he was still a teenager, and it wasn't something he hadn't felt in a very long time. It made him want to do something romantic for his lover.
"I love you too. Do you want to do something tomorrow? I have a little something in mind…but it would be a surprise, of course." Loki chortled and looked up at him, green eyes filled with excitement.
"I can't wait."
