Bucky approached your hospital room with your food and he rolled his eyes as he heard you arguing with Tony. Bucky took Tatum’s free hand as he opened the door and saw you pacing back and forth.
“{Y/N}, calm down. This isn't good for you.”
“DID YOU KNOW?” Your face was visibly red and your whole body felt like recoiling.
“Know what?”
“That Loki is alive…” Bucky set your food down and sat Tatum on the bed.
“Felicity shot him. He can’t be.” Bucky proceeded to look at Tony.
“Reindeer Games is with Thor at the tower right now..”
“I’m going.” You started grabbing clothes and Bucky sat you back on the bed.
“Oh the hell you are. You just had our two children. You aren't going anywhere near that man.” Growling through his teeth you heard his metal fingers clench together.
“Felicity, you and Sam are all staying here and me and Metalgear will go handle the blueberry.” Tony stated plainly. You hated this being stuck in this room.
“Felicity we have to find a way to that tower.” She nodded her head in reply and you both had a plan to distract Sam.

Meanwhile Loki and Thor were impatiently waiting for Tony to return as Natasha and Scott watched them intently.
“You can do more than stare if you would like?” Loki teased toward Natasha which she replied with a strong eye roll. As Bucky and Tony entered the building a sinister smirk crept across the gods features.
“Ah, it it isn't the man out of times little lap dog. Are you finally done playing with what belongs to me?” Bucky almost pinned him on the ground.
“Alright Reindeer, How are you here?” Loki shot a coy glance at his brother and pondered the question for a moment.
"Why am I here? I am here because a silly little girl allowed herself to believe me stupid enough to be physically present when I kidnapped (Y/N). I am here because I will NOT spend another moment without my property, the rightful heir to my throne, and I will NOT leave here empty handed a second time. I am done playing games with you pathetic Midgardian mongrels. I demand my daughter." Bucky gripped the counter he was leaning on so hard it cracked and quickly moved his hand away.
“What is your fucking obsession with my wife? She may have had your ‘heir’ but you left her alone. Tatum knows I am her father as much as she knows {Y/N} is her mother.” James approached the god a bit before anger filled his face. Loki sneered.
"I care nothing for her, I never did. I got what I wanted out of our coupling, yet she dares keep it from me? I want only what is mine. Do what you like with your precious play toy, I sure did." He thought for a moment before adding "Tatum thinks you to be her father, does she? Prove it. Take me to my child. I will show her the truth." Bucky smashed the table before Tony got in his way.
“If he wants you to prove it...Then so be it.” Tony and Bucky both left and headed toward your apartment. You and Felicity had just gotten back to the apartment where she started unpacking a few things and you set the babies down in their carriers while Tatum played around with all her toys. As soon as you sat down on the couch Bucky stormed in the door.
“Feel like defending your daughter?” You stood up and grabbed Tatum. Rolling your eyes you felt like this was going to be happening for her whole life. Bucky and Tony helped you with the babies and everyone left towards the tower. Tatum was sitting in her car seat with Bucksie and Lady was sound asleep right beside her.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As you all enter the tower you keep Tatum behind you while Bucky is carrying the babies. You exit the elevator holding Tatum’s hand. Tatum smiled up at you and you shook her hand gently while chewing your lip. Loki stood up and his face went pale. Tatum went over and hugged Thor’s legs while examining Loki. Loki's eyes settled on the little girl before him, expression softening almost instantly. God she really did look just like him.
"Hello, darling. Do you know who I am?"
“Are you one of Daddy’s friends?” Tatum gripped her bear and smiled at the stranger man before her. Loki kneels down, extending his hand for her to take.
"Not exactly, sweetheart. Do you really not remember me?" He asks softly. "You may not have seen me, but I've watched over you always. I promise you that."
“Oh, oh Are you the angel Uncle Steve told me about?” Tatum turns around and jumps excitedly. “Mommy! Daddy! It’s my angel.” You shot Loki a look and slowly made you way over to her. Loki takes her hand very gently, eyes welling with tears as her tiny fingers wiggle against his own. "No. But you are every bit MY angel."
“Loki don’t!” Before you could grab Tatum she was up in Loki’s arms and her skin was perfectly matching his own. Tatum touched his face and giggled a bit.
“You turn blue like me!” She giggled a bit while your face was filling up with anger. Loki nuzzled her soft black curls gently and smiled, a tear rolling slowly down his light blue cheek.
"You are a Frost Giant, love. Daughter of Loki, Princess of Asgard. And don't you ever let your mother tell you you aren't. You are my little girl."
“Daddy! I’m a giant princess!”
“Doll, you are always a princess in my heart.” Bucky smiled as you crossed your arms giving Loki a full sassy look. Tatum wiggled a bit in his arms and dropped her bear. Tatum reached her hands down towards the bear.
“Bucksie!!” You bet down and handed her the bear before she gripped towards you.Loki's grip on her tightens, reluctant to hand her back. He knows that once (Y/N) takes her, he'll never hold her again. His voice catches in his throat, a desperate plea.
"Darling, wouldn't you rather come home and play with Daddy? Your Uncle Thor and I have surprises for you back in Asgard. You'd have your own room and everything, anything you desired of me would be yours." Tatum shook her head a wiggled out of Loki’s arms onto the ground.
“But, Mommy and Daddy give me everything I want. Why does my angel want me to leave you Daddy?” Tatum turned to Bucky who picked her up and settled her on his hip. Loki gritted his teeth.
"Let her go. You are not her father and you know it! Hearing her call you Daddy makes me sick!” You grabbed Melody while Felicity grabbed Klaus to keep the quiet. Loki’s booming voice upset them.
“Loki, You need to calm down, Don’t make this worse. Tatum can know you as her angel or uncle which honestly is better than nothing. I didn’t even have to bring her here but I did. Bucky is her dad now.” You slowly rocked your newborn while Felicity fixed two bottles. Felicity’s eyes kept meeting Loki’s and she gave him a few small smirk and winks. Loki wanted to retaliate, but was distracted by Felicity. What was she playing at? He narrowed his cold blue eyes at her and pursed his lips. "Meet me outside." He mouthed, making sure no one was looking as he did so. Felicity sneaked out while Tony and you fed the babies and Tatum played a little with Thor under Bucky’s watchful eye. Felicity saw Loki standing in a small covered area and approached him. Loki walked briskly from the building, to the surprise of everyone, and Felicity followed behind him, acting as if she were going to the bathroom and winging a sharp left when her friends turned their gaze away. Loki's eyes were burning, jaw set tight. He had not interacted with Felicity since the incident with the gun, and it left a bitter taste in his mouth. When at last they made it to a small clearing outside the tower, just far enough away that any snoopy SHIELD agents would be out of earshot. He grabbed her hard by her wrist as they stopped, yanking her forward and pushing her hard against a nearby tree.
“What is this game exactly you are trying to play with me? Hmm?" Felicity but her lip hard, bring blood to the surface.
“I want you Loki. I miss the way you dominated me. Please take me away from here.” Loki stared at her hard, his grip only tightening against her wrists. He grimaced.
"The last time I dominated you, pet, you yelled rape. What makes you think I am willing to open myself up to being hurt again? Hmm? I trusted you and you threw it back in my face. You're no different from the All-Father himself." Felicity couldn't explain it. She missed they way his skinny body felt against hers. How he commanded her every move and she was willing to put everything on the line for him. Loki had forced himself on her, but honestly they'd played that way together before, and she knew he hadn't understood her clearly, yet she'd punished him anyway. She teared up.
“Loki I'm sorry...you got rough and you scared me and I was supposed to be with Sam all that time when I was...falling in love with you. And I know I fucked it up. I always do. But I just...it kills me to see you still fighting (y/n) for your daughter, when if I'd given you another child like I was supposed to....Chester should have been yours and I'm so sorry." She cried, putting her hands in her head guiltily. Loki chewed his lip, swearing under his breath as he thought to himself. He'd loved her so much, and she had crushed him. Their entire relationship had been a lie.
“How do I know I can trust you? I will not be lied to again." Felicity finally broke, tears rolling down her face. "I don't love him Loki. At first they made me be watch you, you were a threat...but I'd been seeing you for so long, and I saw a side of you that changed everything. I haven't loved sam for a long time. It's always been you. I don't know what to do to make you believe me, other than fully and completely submit to your will." She admired, dropped to her knees as she did so. Loki kneeled down, ebbing her tears away with his thumb. "Stand, pet. I will not have you of all people grovel at my feet. Not you." Felicity's lips trembled and he leaned in slowly, hand cupping her cheek delicately.
"This is what we are going to do. We will take our leave from here, and you will not return to your family. If you do, and you betray me again, I will kill you. Am I understood?" She shivered, half in fear of the threat boiling behind his words and half in ecstasy at the love shining in his eyes.
"Yes, my king." He smiled, kissing her lips gently and taking her by the hand, leading her further and further into the woods, until they had completely disappeared.

Bucky had rocked Tatum to sleep in his arms while the two babies were being handed around the avengers. Right now Thor and Natasha were rocking them as you sang a soft lullaby over them. You kissed Bucky’s head before heading off to the bathroom. Getting distracted by Tony in the hallway you felt a shiver come over you. Tony grabbed your arm as you began to stumble back to the couch.
“What’s wrong, Princess?” Bucky moved over while you snuggled up next to him.
“She’s not following doctor's orders. You all can stay here for the night.” Tony offered as he took A sleeping Tatum and laid her down with Cassie in her little room.
Bucky wrapped his arms around you and moved you into his lap. You snuggled into his chest while he stroked you lower back.
