Chapter 18
FLASHBACK- 3 YEARS AGO
You were training. Irritated. How dare he speak to you in such a manner? So what if he was a god. So what if he was hot as fuc-. Wait? What? No. Nu uh. Not going there. He got under your skin like no one you had ever known. Calling you out in front of the team, like you were less than an ant.
“You stupid, pathetic mortal! Do you have any idea what could have happened if you had messed that up?”
“Loki, how’s about you take a giant frosted fuck off the edge of a cliff. You’re not my leader. You never will be. I made a decision based of of the information I had and went with it, it’s not my fault you got your ego hurt because a stupid, pathetic mortal girl got the job done better than you could.”
He stepped towards you, like he wanted to hit you, but Thor stepped in between you. He looked at you.
“Enough, Beth. Just let it go.”
“Are you fucking kidding me? He started it, Thor!”
“BETH!”
“You know what, fuck you too!”
You felt the power surging through you and usually, you would try to contain it, even just a bit. But you know what? Fuck it. These gods want to rumble, you’d show them the thunder. You skin started glowing yellow and your eyes changed to red.
“Beth?”
Your fist connected with the side of Thor’s face, knocking him backwards and through the training room wall. He was out. Cold. Loki’s eyes flew wide but still his ego wouldn’t let him back away. Surely a mortal girl was no match for gods.
“Loki, if I was you, I’d run!” Clint shouted from the rafters.
“Loki, does not run. Especially from insignificant little-.” He didn’t get to finish his sentence, you stepped forward and with all your energy swung your fists in a left right left order and knocked him on his ass. He laid there, staring up at you as you kneeled over him. What the camera couldn’t capture was what you whispered to him when you leaned over him. “Perhaps one shouldn’t judge someone based just on their outside appearance. I look like a weak little girl, but I am anything but. And you’d do well to remember that.” You touched his cheek and both of you started turning blue. You both gasped and you pulled your hand away and stood up and all but ran from the room.
END FLASHBACK
“I must say I am truly impressed.” Odin nodded at you. “Thank you.”
“I am curious though, what was said that made you leave in such a haste?”
Loki looked at you and you nodded. “It wasn’t what she said that made her leave. It was what happened when she touched my face. We both started to revert to our Jotunn selves. It was a complete shock for both of us.”
Frigga looked at you concerned. “You did not know of his true heritage?”
“Oh no, I knew. It didn’t matter to me, either way I still thought him an ass.” They all chuckled. “What scared me was the way when my skin changed it became like his. It had never happened before. I didn’t know what to do. I’m sure they have both told you of what happened to me?” They both nodded.
“That was the first time I wondered what they had truly did to me. Loki sought me out a week later. At first he accused me of being sent here to spy on him but when he realized I had no idea what was happening to me, he decided to help me.” Loki squeezed your hand. Frigga looked at him and smiled.
“What made you decide to help her?”
He looked at you and smiled. “She cried. When she was so upset because she didn’t know what was happening to her I realized I was so hard on her because I loved her. I didn’t want to let myself feel anything, for anyone. But then she cried and it broke my heart. I realized then that I never wanted to see her cry ever again.” He brought your hand up and kissed it and you smiled at him sweetly. You gasped and put your hand on your stomach. “Are you alright love?” He looked concerned. You smiled at him. “I’ve been kicked in the kidney.” He laughed.
“May I feel?” Frigga looked overjoyed. “Of course.” You guided her hand to your stomach. She smiled. “So active. What a hyper little one.” Loki looked at her and smiled. “Mother? Why don’t you try and connect with them?” You looked at him like he was crazy, but he just smiled. She closed her eyes and placed both hands on your stomach. It was a couple moments before her eyes shot open. “Two!There’s two!” She looked at Odin. “Twins?” She nodded. She then looked at you, slightly concerned. “There may be a slight issue.” Loki sat up. “She’s only 4 months along right?” You both nodded. “The reason she’s so big is not just because there is two. Its because they are in Jotunn form.” You gasped.
“What? How is that possible?”
“It could be because Loki is Jotunn and your DNA was changed.” She said.
“Do not fret, my dear. Odin and I will make sure no harm comes to any of you.” Loki turned to her. “Mother, she needs to deliver on Asgard!” You squeezed his hand.
“Loki? Calm down. Listen. We need to make some adjustments.” You turned to Frigga.
“I'm assuming because they are Jotunn, that they will be big?” She nodded.
“Oh yes, twice normal at least.” You sighed, running your hand through Loki’s hair, you looked at Frigga, who gave you a nod. At least she knew what needed to be done.
“Loki, I cannot deliver them as I am.” He looked confused.
“How else would you deliver?” You closed your eyes and sighed.
“Loki, I will have to take my other form once this gets to be too much for me.”
He looked to be actually considering it.
“Love, are you sure? It could be a few months you would be that way.” You leaned to kiss him. “Yes. I will make do. I’m not ashamed of that form. You know that. I just won’t be able to leave the tower. You all will have to be at the mercy of my cravings and make Panera Bread trips for me.” He laughed.
“Okay, let’s get you to bed? I’m sure you’re exhausted.” You yawned. “Yes.” Frigga and Odin smiled at you.
“Thank you. I wish I could stay up longer and visit.” Odin laughed. “Don’t you worry about that. Let’s worry about making sure you and those children are safe and happy. We’re not going anywhere for a couple days.”
You smiled at him as Loki teleported you to bed.
