I hope this won't be a disappointment for you, because I tried my best

Enjoy (uh, and sorry for the mistakes if there's any)

Epilogue

Tony woke up in a bed which wasn't his. It was strange, because he didn't remember going to sleep. He moved his hand, but felt a nasty pull. The mattress beneath him was hard and had bumps.

Grumbling in frustration he wriggled trying to find a more comfortable position. He wanted to go back to sleep and ask questions later, but was disturbed by some annoying beeping and buzzing. Opening his eyes to wreck anything that emitted the sound he was blinded by a sharp light.

Tony thought about recommending the owner of the horrible bed to replace his light bulbs just after he would get up and broke them all. He heard the door open and automatically turned his head after the sound, his eyes narrowed, felling oddly disoriented.

"Mr. Stark," said a female voice. "Finally you're awake, your friends will be delighted," the woman said and then left again.

Friends? Tony had no idea what she was talking about. He had been with Loki in England. Or maybe he had fallen asleep on the plane and now a flight attendant was waking him?

"Tony, thank God!" someone cried. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't associate it with any face or name. He frowned again and squinted against the white light. On the bed, which wasn't his, was sitting a young woman in a blue skirt suit. She looked worried.

"How are you?" she asked, trying to lay a hand on his forehead. Tony recoiled from it.

"Who are you?" he was looking into her eyes, which widened in surprise.

"You're kidding," she laughed sounding choked. "Tony, it's me, Pepper. Your executive assistant."

"Loki is my executive assistant," he got angry. It wasn't true yet, but he was going to promote him as soon as possible. What did the woman even think? "Where is he?"

Pepper looked at him in puzzlement and stood up. "I'll get him for you, okay?" she smiled tightly and left. Tony sighed and closed his sore eyes. That damned beeping was still going on.

"Anthony?" he heard Loki's voice after a while. "What's going on? Why is Pepper crying?"

"Who's this Pepper? I've never seen her before," Tony frowned.

"By Odin," whispered Loki, which the second man considered quite strange. "What-" his assistant took a breath. "What is the last thing you remember?" he asked slowly.

"You," Tony replied without hesitation. "We were in England to see Charles and you were just ordering the tickets back to New York."

Loki looked as if Tony just announced that he had cancer. He moved closer and gently sat down on the bed. Tony noticed for the first time that the hideous piece of furniture had a pen. Why did his bed have a pen?

"Where am I?"

Loki gulped nervously and moved a bit. "At the hospital."

"What?" Tony sat up sharply, which was a very bad idea. His head spun and he winced as he felt a sting in his elbow socket. Surprised, he stared at the indwelling cannula.

"Anthony," Loki jumped to his feet and pushed at his shoulders. "You shouldn't move."

"What happened?" Tony didn't understand. When he turned his head, he found that the annoying beeping was coming out of a cardiograph. Well, he could guess that.

"You had an accident. You almost died," said Loki and it was clear that he was uncomfortable with the topic.

"What are you talking about?" Tony wanted to know. "And what the fuck is this?" he stared at the gold ring with a small sapphire in the middle on Loki's ring finger.

"You gave it to me," said Loki in disbelief and withdrew his hand with a hurt expression. "You don't remember?"

"I think I wouldn't forget my own wedding," Tony snapped at him. "What are you playing at, Loki?"

"I," the black-haired man stood up and took a step back. Tony had a feeling he saw his eyes glistening with tears. "I need to talk to the doctor," he said quietly and quickly left.

Tony closed his eyes to take a rest. He fell asleep after five minutes.

When he woke up again, he was still in the hospital. Leaning over him was a nurse, but once he blinked and moved his head, she straightened up and with an amiable smile scurried away. He looked around the room and noticed that someone drew the blinds. He smirked at the pleasant gloom.

"Anthony?" he heard a knock. Loki slipped into the room like a cat and stayed standing by the half-open door.

"You know what's going on? I want to leave."

Loki looked over his shoulder, then back at him and closed the door. "I think I know what happened," he said sadly.

"Have you talked to the doctor?" demanded Tony. He was sick of this theatre, but tried to stay calm, to learn at least some of the things he wanted to know.

"Yes," Loki nodded stiffly. "I want," he hesitated and took a step towards the bed. "I'd like to try something."

"For all I care do a voodoo ritual, just get me out of here," Tony snapped in irritation.

"That's what I'm trying to do," Loki smiled hesitantly. "This will hurt. Forgive me."

"What?" Tony wanted to ask, but the word turned into a scream when Loki came to him, put his fingers on his temples and pushed. His vision darkened, and Tony was sure he fainted.

But then pictures started to flash before his eyes. In most of the scenes was Loki, but there was also Clint and Natasha. Then he saw Bruce, bent over a pile of Tony's blueprints murmuring something under his breath. He saw Thor and Steve in the kitchen laughing at something together. And there was also Pepper and suddenly Tony remembered.

He gasped for breath and the images disappeared. He was in the hospital room again, but this time he actually knew why he was there.

"Loki," he whispered, as if afraid to say his name louder. He looked at the man next to him, who was eyeing him worriedly, and took his hand. He raised it to his lips and kissed the white palm.

"Anthony," Loki laughed happily and threw his arms around the man's neck. Tony tangled his fingers into the raven hair, took a deep breath and held his husband tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know-" he began, but Loki kissed him instead.

"It doesn't matter, you're back," the god was smiling warmly, his forehead resting against Tony's. "You're back."

"I didn't mean to scare you," Tony kissed him into his hair, when Loki put his head on the man's chest.

"I thought I lost you," Loki muttered unhappily. Tony closed his eyes and hugged him.

"How long was I out?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"For a month."

"Fuck" he cursed. "God, I'm such an idiot."

Loki broke free from the embrace, so he could see Tony's face. "If you do something like that again, I will disperse all your suits and the workshop into pieces that even Jarvis won't be able to put together," he pointed his finger in his face. "And I will never share a bed with you again."

"I promise," smiled Tony and had to bite his tongue not to utter a comment about the last attempt when Loki tried to deny him sex. When the god finally gave up, they spent all week in bed, and would have stayed longer if Fury didn't call. Nothing killed the mood faster than that guy.

"Fine," Loki frowned for effect.

"Will you tell Pepper I'm sorry?" asked Tony when Loki stood up.

"She'll forgive you as soon as you smile at her," the god smirked and leaned down to kiss him lightly.

"I hope so," laughed the man. "Is Rebecca here?"

Loki's smile softened when he nodded. "I'll send her to you, all right?" he said and left. Tony watched the door anxiously.

"Daddy!" a little girl rushed into the room with a whoop and jumped on the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and clenched her little fists into his hospital gown.

"Hi, bunny," he smiled and hugged her with the arm without the cannula. The girl let go of him after a while and sat on his lap.

"Papa says you're going home with us," she said and blown her cheeks. "I missed you," she pursed her lower lip, her eyes filled with tears, but she didn't allow any to roll down her cheek.

"Me too, Becca," he smiled and stroked her brown curls.

"Were you sick?" a pair of green eyes, which made him fall in love with her father, blinked at him.

"You know," laughed Tony briefly hugging her again. "I had a really weird dream."

And that's it - no more of this :D

I hope you didn't mind Rebecca - I love that kid (the name is from my other story Family, I didn't want to think about anything else, because it's really fitting)

I know it's probably too sweet, but I couldn't help myself, okay? Don't judge

So, leave a comment or if you want to ask anything I'll be happy to answer

Thanks for sticking with me all this time

Love you, guys!
