Tony's Pov November 2nd, 1996

The sun shined brightly as I turned the corner into Godric's Hollow to pick up my two youngest children. Loki had gotten worried that Heimdall and Odin were starting to get suspicious with how much time he was spending here on Midgard, and Obie was also starting to get suspicious as to where I keep disappearing. Loki has also been gaining threats in his wizard form James Potter. We decides it would be a good idea to put the twins and Lily under the fidelius charm for a few days in order to throw everyone off our trail. It was a close call but we are both sure it worked, with Peter as our Secret Keeper and Sirius being the decoy and Remus spreading rumors amongst the werewolves so that death eaters will catch false leads as to where they are hiding. Although, I am still highly suspicious as to why Dumbledore thought Voldemort would target our children.I left Hela to babysit Peter in case there was trouble.

There simply isn't enough people I trust outside my family with my family. Pepper is still fairly new to me she may be interesting but I don't know if I can trust her yet not with what matters most to me. I was hesitant to let even Rhodey in on my secret and he has been my brother since I was at MIT.

~Flashback~

"ANTHONY EDWARD STARK!"

I flinched and slowly tried to find an exit before my executioner- err I mean my best friend could find me. I heard an amused chuckle from my left and I whipped around so fast I thought my head would fly off my shoulders.

" Loki!" I Hissed, " What are you doing here you being here will only make the lecture worse!"

" I apologize my love but I could not allow my future husband go through such unpleasantness without me." He smirked, " Of course I could always teleport us away to another location to avoid the confrontation longer if you would like."

That's not such a bad idea I could always come back when Rhodey isn't so pissed off, but then again leaving now would only end up pissing him off even more. Aw damn it! Why did things have to get so complicated. " No" I sighed, " It's best if we just get it over with."

" I'm in here Honey bear" I called out nervously.

Rhodey comes storming in besides the frown lines marring his smooth coffee colored skin, his eyebrows furrowed and his right index finger twitching every 3.5 seconds, he is the perfect portrait of calm.

Definitely not a good sign.

" Anthony… I don't even know where to begin"

I chuckled as felt little beads of nervous sweat appear on my eyebrow. " Well we could always talk about the weather platipus a bit mundane for me though we could also talk about how you never seem to have coffee when I come over to your place, honestly sugar plum that is just a crime against humanity. Coffee is a drink made by the gods it is needed for basic human survival it's blasphemy not to have coffee Rhodey we should go out and get some coffee you know it's not good to argue without having coffee so I'm just gonna go out and get some ok-"

"Tony stop your rambling and calling me all those ridiculous names you're just digging a bigger hole for yourself."Rhodey sighed and ran his hand over his bald head.

" If I may interject -"

"NO" both Rhodey and I snapped in the direction of my fiance whoa I am never going to get used to the thought of that or the warm feelings that come with it.

Rhodey seemed unamused " Look I don't know if I really want to believe that this guy whom I never even heard you mention until this morning when you blurted out that you were engaged is the God of Mischief in Norse Mythology. But even I can't argue him appearing in my living room out of nowhere to save you from my interrogation isn't exactly normal. So all I have to ask is what were you thinking?"

I sighed and looked down at my feet usually I'm good at hiding my emotions and just not caring a flying rat's ass about what anyone that about me … but this was Rhodey the guy who has been my brother for seven years ever since I was that scrawny 14 year old kid at MIT scared and unsure about the world around me. I have to be honest to the person who has stood by my side for so long even if it meant losing him.

" Rhodey honestly when I first met Loki I wasn't thinking you were off on assignment for the military, Obie was on my ass for updates for new weapon designs, and honestly I was going crazy and I was incredibly lonely more so than usual.I was totally freaking out about being a new parent and I was convinced that I was going to screw up raising Peter now that Mary is dead. Then this handsome tall man with emerald green eyes and a hot british accent comes along, and we get to know each other and when I found out he was a god I thought I was going crazy. But I wasn't and I'm not he has helped to raise Peter for two years and in return I helped with his kids. At first we were just really good friends with benefits but then ..." I stopped and turned to look at the love of my life with a blush on my cheeks being this open is totally out of character for me but I know Loki is worth it, I took a deep breath and I looked at my best friend and brother straight in the eye.

" Rhodey somewhere along the line I realized with all the screwed up things in my life I never that I was worthy to have someone love my which is why I have never let myself love anyone the way I have fallen in love with Loki. And I promise you James I am deeply and sincerely in love with Loki Laufey-Odinson."

Rhodey looks at me and Loki with a serious expression and I hold my breath until finally he speaks directly towards Loki " What about you?"

Loki looks startled for a second before regaining his composure " What do you Mean?" he asked .

Rhodey squared his shoulders and asked " Do you love my brother they way he so obviously love you?"

Loki looked the most serious I have ever seen him and declared " I love Anthony Edward Stark with all my heart and will shout from all the rooftops from here to Valhalla if that is what it takes to prove it to you and more importantly Anthony."

Traitorous tear suddenly began to form at the corners of my eyes probably from all the dust Loki shifted in the room when he teleported in and I quickly wiped them away before they became noticeable. I looked over at Rhodey who was now smiling brightly.

"Well" he said, " I guess there is only one thing left to do." and then he rushed over to Loki and hugged and shouted " WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!"

I laughed relieved to have my best friends approval but then stopped short when Rhodey continued " However if you ever hurt him in any way shape or form whether it be physically emotionally or mentally. I promise you that there is no shadowy corner in this entire universe I don't care if you are in Asgard or any other realm or dimension. If you hurt Tony Stark I will find you and I will tear you apart piece by piece slowly until you are begging for me to kill you and then I will make you watch as make your intestines into keychains. I doesn't matter if you have magic you hurt him and I will destroy you have I made myself clear?"

Never in all the time that I have known him have I ever seen Loki look so pale and unnerved not even when he retold the stories about when Thor and his friends would drag him to dangerous adventures. It was kind of amusing.

~End Flashback~

That was a good day and the wedding was spectacular even though it wasn't quite as big as we wanted it since we had to keep it a secret. We still had all of the important people including my cousins Lily and Petunia, and Loki's friends Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

I froze and rubbed my eyes not believing what they were seeing the safe house where Lily and the kids were was filled my heart as ran inside...
