"Hello darling" Loki whispered while placing a soft kiss to her cheek, causing a warm smile to grow upon her sleeping face as she murmured a sweet good morning to her loving God who only had himself propped up onto one elbow, using the other to rub small circles on her belly as she continued to smile through closed eyes as Loki had his face buried in the crook of her neck.

Enjoying his warm presence as he was cuddled into her side, hand gently feeling the small kicks that their baby would give every now and again as a smile always stretched onto Loki's face, bringing in a new light as he knew that this was a part of him growing inside the women he loved. And he would never forget something like this, it was the inevitable waiting and he knew and accepted every aspect from which it came from. Giving into the warmth he felt when the love he knew he felt all those years ago slowly began to rise again, from both his father...And for himself.

"Mmh, darling, I love seeing you like this" He whispered once again, leaning his face just a little closer into her neck as his had rubbed circles around her belly, not getting enough swelling caused by him, yet, he was annoyed that she had hardly let him touch her in the way he wanted, it had been eight months now and she hadn't let him even once feel her skin on another level.

"Loki, can you help me" She whispered while trying to sit up on her elbows after giving out a soft yawn as she softly wiped the tired away from her eyes. "Of course darling" He sat up off the bed before walking to her side as he grabbed onto her hand, placing one on her back as he helped her to stand, halting his movements when she let out a hiss of pain. Nimble fingers of hers gripping the sheets as her head was thrown back while she tried to control her breathing.

"L-Loki-" She whispered breathlessly as he could see the rise and fall of her chest as he knew it was the baby causing her pain and he couldn't do anything about it besides help her into a warm bath to which seemed to help calm her and their baby down.

"Calm down love, I'm running you a bath as we speak" He cooed as he gripped onto her hands before using some magic to aid in lifting her up in the most comfortable way possible.

"Loki". Enchessa whimpered while leaning her weight into him as he held her hand and gentle aided her in walking towards their shared bath.

"I'm right here darling" He kissed the top of her head, cold lips of his lingering on just for a little longer as they passed through the cream coloured doorway, traced with gold swirls and spirals along the frame.

"Can we go see Frigga?" She questioned as Loki as he nodded softly after settling her down in the bath as he poured in all sorts of essential oils that would help relax her ever so aching muscles as she leaned back in the massive jacuzzi like tub as he heard the soft sounds of relief flooding his ears. It was by far the loveliest sound he had yet to hear.

"Mmh, Loki" She sighed softly as the baby had stopped the kicking as she rested her hands on her bulging belly while on occasion rubbing soft circles as she rested her head on Loki's lap from behind her as he leaned down to place a kiss on the top of her head, taking extra careful care of his wife as she was due soon. A few more weeks and they would have their baby in their loving arms.

Loki helped her out of the bath with a short glimpse over her body he missed so much as he sighed out of content at seeing her magic her dress over her body before using the magic to dry and tie her hair up into a ponytail as she didn't feel like going out today. Just wanting to rest and enjoy the presence of her husband comforting her.

"Loki, will you stay with me" She asked softly with those doe eyes Loki couldn't help but fall for everytime she wanted something "Darling, I have been called by Thor for some business matter. But I promise to be by your side later this evening" He whispered softly against her temple before pressing a feathery kiss on her skin as she whimpered from the loss of her husband for the day.

"I'll be back soon darling if I can, but I'll be sending my mother here to be with you the entire day" She pouted at his deal but nodded her head nonetheless as she leaned back and let Loki scrub her wet hair with shampoos and conditioners as he laughed silly and created random hairstyles that looked too ridiculous to be true.

The pair had finished in the bathroom and he helped her back to bed for more resting as he placed a soft kiss onto her temple "Rest easy love, I'll be back sooner than later" He whispered with another kiss onto her cheek as she nodded her head and pressed a kiss of her own onto his cheek before laying down on her side.

Loki left as he walked out with a gentle close of their chamber doors to not scare her with the sudden loud locking of the doors.

"Morning sweetheart?" Frigga asked softly as Enchessa smiled painfully, holding onto her arm as she helped her up from the bed, struggling with the eight month belly as the baby was relentless with the kicking that continued none stop throughout the day.

"As fine as a pregnant lady can be" She joked with a soft laugh as she held one hand to her slightly aching stomach as the other held onto Frigga's soft grip as the queen aided the princess' movements, as they slowly walked towards the door as Loki had to leave in the early mornings. Per Thor's request, leaving Enchessa to deal with herself until Frigga decided to help her dear daughter in law. Who she knew would find trouble trying to have a bath to which she normalised after the pain the kicking had started at the start of her sixth month along. Even if she had to have them multiple times a day, they seemed to be one of the only cures to stop the kicking.

"Are you sure you're alright, maybe we should see Eir first" Frigga requested softly as Enchessa held onto her breath while staring off at the wall as she was taking quick breaths to calm down as her eyes closed instantly and painfully as Enchessa stopped midway with a nod of her head. It was particularly painful this morning compared to the previous ones.

"Yes please". She whimpered as they began to slowly head towards the infirmary, taking careful steps as Frigga was growing worried by the second at the girl who was struggling to manage to walk, nether the less barely able to stand.

"Argh!" Enchessa let out a loud scream while clutching her stomach as a painful contraction began in her lower belly.

"Frigga!" She screamed helplessly while tears formed and fell from her crystal like eyes as the queen's eyes grew as they took the final step into the healing room, feeling liquid rush down her thighs as her water had broken just in time to catch Eir after she had just finished with another patient.

"Frigga-" "It's alright darling, I'll go get Loki and everything will be okay, just hold on sweetheart". Frigga reassured her as Enchessa let out quick and steady breaths while shutting her eyes for a split second, nodding her head quickly while letting go of one her hands from Frigga as she reached for the bed to steady herself before sitting down and trying her hardest to lay down.

"It's a little early Frigga" Eir whispered as the other healers begun to ready everything for the birth of the new prince. "It is, but what good would it be for the baby to be healthy Eir. That's what counts" Eir nodded her head then rushed back to help the princess in the brink of one of the most painful deliveries Eir had accomplished in her past.

"Quick breaths darling-keep them steady and push for us" Enchessa nodded her head while exhaling and pushing as a loud scream emitted from her throat upon the harsh contractions hitting her lower belly as the pain was unbearable.

"Eir!" She screamed while her hands gripped the sheets like she'd never let go, holding on for dear life as in that moment, she never wanted her baby out of her stomach than before until now.

"Please, please, please call Loki!" She whimpered while trying to hold in the contractions as all she wanted to do was scream her heart out for the pain to stop, but it seemed to worsen the more she kept a hold on it.

"He's coming sweetheart, just a little longer so come on and push for us" Eir asked softly while placing a hand over her belly, to help with the pushing as she knew the princess would struggle to birth a hybrid baby such as theirs.

"LOKI!"

Loki watched softly as his wife slept soundly on the nursing bed, a baby resting in his arms as he requested to be alone for a little while, just until she woke up.

"Look darling, we have our prince in my arms, he looks just like you. Your beautiful grey eyes" He whispered with a kiss to his nose as he cooed soft baby noises and reached to hold his fathers finger in his soft and delicate, little hands.

Enchessa was out cold right after delivering the baby, the energy pent up and released all out once was overwhelming so her body decided to shut down for a little while until she could regain her strength. Her body laying calmly in the bed as her black hair was scattered around across the pillows with her baby hairs just barely sticking to her forehead with sweat as it had been just past an hour since the prince had come into this world and the pair had yet to name him.

Mostly because Loki wanted to wait for Enchessa to wake up before they could name their child.

"Oh darling, would you just look at him" Loki looked up to his mother with loving eyes as she peered over his shoulder to look at the cooing bundle of joy who waved his hand with a soft baby laugh as he reached out to hold Frigga's hand as she reached out to hold him as Loki willingly held his arms up for his mother to take.

"He looks just like her" She whispered while kissing his nose as he squabbled and continued to make adorable baby noises as he sucked on Frigga's finger causing her to look over to Loki who had his gaze focused intensely on Enchessa.

"Loki, when was the last time he fed?" Loki looked up at his mother as if she had spoken another language "Uh..." He froze while his eyes widened, he hadn't fed his son in over an hour, he must be starving.

Frigga laughed softly at Loki's frozen stature as she knew he had forgotten and she knew it was time for Enchessa to wake up so she could feed her baby.

"Wake her up dear, she needs to breastfeed him" She whispered softly into Loki's ear as he thawed from his frozen gaze as he reached over to gently press a kiss to Enchessa's cheek, causing her to stir in her sleep as she turned away to avoid whatever was trying to wake her up.

"Love, wake up. Our baby is hungry and he needs you" She popped her eyes open softly while looking over at Loki with a yawn before looking over to Frigga with a soft smile at seeing a little bundle of green. Of course Loki had requested the green baby blanket instead of the original blue.

"Give him to me please" She whispered while holding her arms out with a soft expression as she felt emotional at the fact of having her and Loki's child in her arms, the warm light needed to embrace their future.
