Chapter 23

The crowds were cheering and shouting with more joy and excitement than ever before. Asgardians and Jotun's alike were filling the grand hall and chamber in wait of a new King. Thor, dressing in his armor and all his glory, made his way passed the crowds, waving at them ever so often. Seeing the Jotuns and Asgardians getting along brought his heart great joy, knowing that what he and Loki had done, how they fought, had finally brought peace between the two Realms.

As he looked ahead, he could see Odin sitting upon his throne, Fregga at his side and Loki, in his Jotun form clad in his Kingly wares, waiting at the bottom of the stairs. The stairway was lined with Thor's friends, Sif and the Warriors Three, as well as guards who kept the peace. Loki had a bright smile on his face as he rest his hand atop his very swollen belly. A few months had passed since the war for Jotunheim and Loki's pregnancy had slowed down since he was in no danger or stress.

As Thor approached the stairway, Loki held out his hand, the blonde taking it in his hand. Thor kissed the blue hand, causing Loki to smile. He rest a hand atop the belly and rubbed it gently, eagerly awaiting the birth of their child. It wouldn't be much longer before the little one would arrive and prove to the Realms that there was finally true peace between them.

"You look handsome, Thor," Loki said softly in Thor's ear.

Thor smiled back at his Jotun lover and replied, "And you as beautiful as a batch of freshly fallen snow."

Loki smiled as he pulled away and hugged his lover. Loki then walked up the stairway and came to Odin's side, opposite Fregga, waiting for Odin to finally announce Thor as King. Odin stood as Thor knelt down at the bottom of the stairs and the crowd grew silent. "Thor Odinson, my heir, my first-born," Odin started, replaying a piece in his mind, knowing his was repeating himself from the previous attempt of crowning Thor King. "So long entrusted with with mighty hammer, Mjolnir. Forged in the heart of a dying star, from the sacred metal of Uru. Only one may lift it. Only one is worthy. Who wields this hammer commands the lightening and the storm. Its power has no equal – – as a weapon, to destroy, or as a tool, to build. It is a fit companion for a King."

Odin stepped forward, beginning to ascend down the stairs, Thor's eyes locked on him. "Today I entrust you with the greatest honor in all the Nine Realms. The sacred throne of Asgard. I have sacrificed much to achieve peace. So, too, must a new generation sacrifice to maintain that peace. Responsibility, duty, honor. These are not merely virtues to which we must aspire. They are essential to every soldier and to every King." Half was down the stairs, Odin beings his finally questioning, "Thor Odinson, do you swear to guard the Nine Realms?"

Thor looked up and spoke firmly, "I swear."

"Do you swear to preserve the peace?"

"I swear."

As Odin made the final steps he asked his final question. "Do you swear to cast aside all selfish ambition and pledge yourself only to the good of all the Realms?"

Thor raised as his father stood before him. Their eyes locked and he spoke hard, a smile on his face. "I swear."

"Then on this day, I, Odin All-Father, proclaim you – –" Odin placed a hand on Thor's shoulder, smiling at him with pride. He then spoke loud enough for the crowd to hear, "King of Asgard!"

Thor couldn't stop smiling as his father bestowed the highest honor to him. His eyes glanced up to see Loki smiled at him, still holding his belly. He then looked to his mother who was crying with joy. Thor turned to the crowd and listened to them cheer on their new King.

He raised a hand to silence them and spoke, "My friends, fellow Asgardians and Jotuns alike. Today, I vow to keep the peace of all the Realms, putting my life on the line to sustain that peace. I fought with Jotunheim against Asgard to one day be able to stand before you and announce that there will be peace. Today," Thor said, turning and making his way up the stairs. He took Loki's hand and announced, "I make this day an official sign of peace, where Jotunheim and Asgard are one! Today, I will marry the King of Jotunheim as a symbol of our love and as a symbol of infinite peace."

The crowd erupted into cheers as Thor took Loki into his arms and kissed him for everyone to see. Loki returned the kiss accordingly and rest his hands on Thor's shoulders. Thor pulled away and reached into his pocket, removing two silver bands. He slipped one onto Loki's finger and then the other onto his. "On this day," Thor spoke softly, really only speaking to Loki, "I join our kingdoms in holy matrimony in hopes that our child will lead both kingdoms as one."

Loki smiled as he looked at the ring on his finger. Thor pulled Loki in for another kiss, one more passionate and heartfelt than the last one. Thor dipped the Jotun's body down, holding him carefully in his arms as he kissed him for the world to see. He pulled him back up and pulled away from his lips reluctantly. He pressed their foreheads together and said, "I love you, Loki."

"I love you too, Thor," Loki replied, stealing another peck-like kiss.

Thor took Loki's arm in his and lead the Jotun King down the stairway, showing off his new bride and Queen. The crowd cheered at their union and Thor's parents were overjoyed at their happiness. They walked along, waving at their people, both Asgardian and Jotun, all of them happy and smiling. Loki had a sense of accomplishment wash through him. He had a wonderful lover, a child on the way along with Sleipnir, as well as a throne to upkeep. He had people who adored and respected him, as well as a King who loved him.

As they exited the grand hall, Thor lead Loki to their new bedchamber to commemorate their union. Once inside their room and doors were closed, Thor captures Loki's lips. Loki smiled into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around Thor's neck. The blonde's hands explored the blue-skinned body before him, loving the chill he got on his warm hands. He was very careful with their baby kicking him between them, causing Loki to giggle.

"I believe he knows what your doing," Loki teased as Thor pulled away and looked at the swollen belly. He felt another kick and rest his hand atop the belly. Loki knew of Thor's motives but he couldn't allow them. "I'm sorry, Thor," Loki said, resting a cold hand on Thor's cheek, "But you know the baby is due any day now. I'm to far along to give you any sort of pleasure. It won't be long before I can again though."

Thor blushed at the thought and smiled. "I know we can't do anything," Thor replied, "But I still want to have a peaceful wedding night."

He slipped his arm under Loki's legs and the other behind his back, lifting the Jotun bridal style. He carried Loki over to the large bed, shaped similar to that of Odin's bed. He rest Loki on the soft bed, kissing him softly before pulling away. Thor shed his armor and helmet, down to his normal clothes and crawled into the bed with Loki.

Loki took the liberty of removing his Jotun Crown and a few metal bits of his armor. They rest them on the floor and held each other. Thor sat up in the bed, holding Loki to him, the Jotun's head on his chest as he held one of his hands. Loki loved the warmth radiating from Thor and fell in love with the heat. He pressed a kiss to Thor's chest and rest again as he felt the blondes hand fall onto his belly. They both rubbed the baby through the skin and bother pondered what the baby would look like.

Would the baby be Jotun or Asgardian? Would they take after Thor or Loki? They smiled and ignored the thoughts, knowing that they would both love the child regardless of its genetics.

Thor pulled away from Loki, resting the Jotun on the bed carefully. Loki gave him a strange look but forgot it when the blonde took his lips. The kiss was slow but loving and full of passion. Thor caressed Loki's cheek, his thumb stroking the cool skin. Thor made his way down, kissing at Loki's jaw and neck until he met the collarbone. He suckled on the skin, leaving behind purple marks as the blood raised against the skin. He kissed lower until he met the swollen belly.

He kissed the belly over and over, going in circles and making designs with his kisses. Loki watched as Thor pressed his lips into his belly, happy that Thor was bonding with the baby. Thor's hands rubbed the belly as he continued to kiss it and then spoke, low and soft, "I love you very much, even thought I haven't met you yet. I already love you more than life itself."

Loki coughed teasingly, causing the blonde to look and smile, "Except you, of course." Loki laughed as Thor crawled up and captured his lips again. After a few kisses, Thor pulled Loki into his arms and rest along side him. They rubbed the belly and kissed each other on occasion. It wasn't much longer before they fell into a blissful sleep.

A couple nights later, the newlywed couple were sleeping soundly in their bed. Loki faced the edge of the bed, Thor with his chest to his back and arm draped over his belly, his hand unconsciously protecting the baby. Loki stirred in his sleep as the lower half of his body morphed into the proper equipment to pass the baby into the real world. After the transforming was finished, Loki's eyes opened slightly, being roused from his sleep.

He raised up, rubbing his eyes with the backs of his wrists. He felt something strange on his body and used his hand to explore. He felt around his lower half, feeling that it wouldn't be long before the baby would on its way. He felt a since of panic at first but it was torn away when his body began to spasm horribly. He shouted in pain, jarring Thor from his sleep.

"Loki," Thor said quickly, sitting up and resting a hand on his back, "What is it? Is something wrong?"

The bed suddenly became very wet and he looked down, seeing Loki's body had changed. Loki was gripping his belly with both hands as he start screaming in pain. Thor wasn't sure what to do and waited for Loki to make a move. "The baby," Loki breathed out, his teeth gritting as he tried to control his pain.

Thor climbed out of the opposite side of the bed and rushed around back to Loki. He helped the Jotun out of bed and onto wobbly feet. He kept a hand on his side and pulled one of Loki's arms around his shoulders. He walked slowly with Loki, wanting to get help as quickly as possible. It was a long trek to the infirmary, many stops were made on the way with Loki screaming the palace awake. Thor felt his heart tear out every time Loki cried in pain, wishing he could take away his pain.

Once at the infirmary, two nurses were at Loki's side, helping him into their room and resting him on a bed. The nurses started talking to each other, telling the other to fetch warm water and towels and blankets. Loki protested very loudly, "No! No! I don't want anyone here! I want to be alone."

"Loki, please they want to help," Thor went to say but Loki snapped at him.

"No, Thor!" Loki said, "I did it alone with Sleipnir and he came out as a colt. I want to do this alone and I will."

Thor sighed and nodded, gesturing towards the nurses and they left the room. Loki rest his head on the pillow, trying to cope with the pain. He knew it would be a little longer before the baby made its way out of him. He was reminded of Sleipnir's birth, how long it had been and that he had done it alone. He remembered being in the woods with nothing but the clothes on his back as he pushed out an eight-legged colt.

He knew that if he could give birth to Sleipnir alone, he could handle this baby by himself. He tossed and turned in the bed, fighting back the pain as he waited and prayed that the baby would start its journey into life. He held his belly and whined in pain as he dealt with his labor.

Thor, on the other hand, sat with his back to the door of the infirmary, head in his hands. He wanted to be by Loki's side and help him through such a difficult time. He could hear all the moans and whines of pain as Loki dealt with the excruciating pain. He wanted to barge in and help him, no matter how much he protested, but he couldn't bring himself to seeing Loki in so much pain. He knew this was something that mothers had to do to protect their husbands, keeping them out of the room, but Loki was keeping everyone out of the room. What if something went wrong? Thor couldn't bare this anymore.

Hours passed and Thor was growing anxious. He was pacing the hallways, arms behind his back and his parents waiting with him. Thor refused to speak, wincing every time Loki cried in pain. He knew the birth was starting when he screamed loudly and held the screams for what felt like forever.

Loki held himself up with his arms as he pushed hard, trying to expel the little demon from his body. He desperately wanted the pain to stop but he wanted to see his baby more. With a few more pushes, he could feel the small body making its way through him and tearing him apart. He pushed hard one last time and used all his power to reach forward and pull the screaming child from himself. The child screamed with powerful lungs and balled fists.

Loki smiled as he held his baby for the first time, overjoyed that he was finally born. He kissed the newborn boy on the forehead, not caring about all the blood and other bodily fluids on him. He found a blanket on the table beside him and wrapped the baby up, warming the child. Just before he wrapped the child fully, he cut and tied its cord with his sharp Jotun nails. He held the baby close to him, trying to coo the little one to stop screaming. He couldn't hide his smile as he looked at his baby for the first time. Tiny, pale wisps of hair graced his head, along with pale skin, telling Loki that the child was more Asgardian than anything.

The baby calmed and Loki felt the pain begin to subside in his body. Loki lifted his head with a tired gaze to a creaking door. He spotted Thor peering inside, wondering if it was safe to enter. Loki smiled again and said, "It's alright, Thor. He's here."

Thor stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He could hear the baby grunt as he was getting used to new environment. He slowly made his way to Loki, worried to see the baby, a thought making him think something was wrong with it. Once at Loki's side, he saw the red faced infant wrapped in a blue blanket, cuddled up against Loki's body.

Thor reached out a hand, not sure how to approach the situation. He wanted to touch him but was afraid he would break him. "He's pale," Thor noted as he gently stroked the baby's cheek with the back of his finger.

"He's Asgardian," Loki said, kissing the baby's forehead. "And blonde." Thor chuckled as he continued to stroke his son's cheek. Loki saw Thor's soft, content smile, his face telling him he was proud of their baby. "Would you like to home him?"

Thor looked up a Loki almost shocked and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course," Loki smirked, "He's your son. You should hold him."

Thor nodded and held out his arms. Loki rest the child in Thor's arms, making sure he was holding the baby properly. Loki smiled as Thor held the child in his arms, falling in love with the baby's face. Loki felt at peace that Thor was so happy and rest his eyes, wanting sleep to overcome him. After a few moments, Loki's eyes shot open and he leaned forward, gripping his stomach once again.

"Loki?" Thor asked, worried about his lover. "Is everything alright?"

Loki couldn't answer, the pain was to much. He knew this pain couldn't be from the afterbirth, it was to much. He felt around his stomach and pressed on it ever so slightly. There was only one other explanation for his pain. "Thor, leave," Loki demanded in pain. "Take him with you."

"What's wrong?" Thor asked, not wanting to leave.

"There's another," Loki replied as he felt his body spasm in pain and start to expel another child. He screamed in pain as Thor did as he was told, carrying the baby with him. Once outside, he was greeted by his parents and the two nurses. The nurses looked the baby over, declaring that he was perfectly healthy. Odin and Fregga had to ask about Loki, considering Thor was in a state of shock.

"What's wrong, Thor?" Fregga asked, resting her hands on her sons shoulders.

"Loki, he..." Thor was having trouble speaking, unable to comprehend the situation. He never expected two babies. He was happy of course, just very surprised. "He was pregnant... with two."

"Oh my," Fregga said in a gasp, cupping her mouth.

Odin laughed and said, "Well son, the more the merrier, am I right?"

"Yes, but," Thor replied, his voice monotone and lost, "I just didn't expect it. I'm not sure how to handle this."

"You handle as you would with one," Fregga added, resting her hands back onto Thor's shoulders. "It will be a little more difficult but worth it. You and Loki weren't that far apart when Odin brought him home from Jotunheim. It was difficult but the end result was more than worth it."

Thor tensed up when he heard Loki's pained cries again. He could barely stand it the first few hours. He wasn't sure how much more he could take. The nurse handed him his baby as his parents awed over the baby. He stroked the baby's face as he tried to think of a name for the child.

The cries died down as another screaming child sounded in their ears. Thor was worried about entering the room again, wondering if there was yet another child they weren't aware off. He held the blonde child in his arms and he slowly re-entered the infirmary. He saw Loki cooing the child, his face exhausted. He made his way over, the baby's grunting as they got closer together.

Thor used his foot to scoot a stool over and sit next to Loki. Loki smiled at him as he peered over to see the second child. This one was the complete opposite of the other with black hair and pale blue skin. Loki kissed his second child as he looked back over at the blonde baby. The couple sat in silence as they looked over their new family.

"They need names," Loki said softly, causing Thor to nod. Loki looked between his children and then to the Jotun in his arms, "Fenrir Thorson," Loki said as he nuzzled his matching baby.

Thor glanced down at the blonde baby and smiled, "Jormung Thorson."

Loki smiled and nodded with tired eyes. Thor stood and the Juton scooted over, allowing Thor to get into the bed with him. They held their babies to them as Thor wrapped and arm around Loki's shoulders. For now they would rest and bask in the glory of their new family. Thor pressed a kiss to Loki's forehead and heard soft snoring coming from the other. He smiled and rest his head atop Loki's as their babies also fell into a silent rest. The two lovers had never felt some complete.
