"do you want a back massage?" Tony asked eagerly. he was always overly happy to get his hands on his fiance. giving her daily food and back massages had become a very eagery anticipated event for Tony and he sulked when he didn't get to. "Loki and Sam are misbehaving?" he asked, looking upset. "what have they done? i'll skin em." he promised. "and i'll do it to Thor too." Thor had certainly learned his lesson. he had tried to sacrifice himself when Asgards 'Guardian' attacked the little sleepy town in Mexico and he had regained his powers and a much deeper respect for any living thing. he had stopped by a time or two, trying to apologize to Loki who wanted nothing to do with Thor at all and it was becoming a very stressful situation. especially since Loki was trying to get his new life up and going. not only had he graduated with top marks as Valedictorian, he had broke the previous record of the school. he had already shot down several attempts at 'subverting' the Mutants and had defended Tony twice in court. an easy enough task wen all Loki had to do was ask Senator Stern Why he wanted a suit that cost nearly 3.5 million dollars, when he couldn't even afford to feed the soldiers he was insisting on sending to oversees for,really, no reason since the active war was, for the time being, at a standstill. they had all laughed after about how bright red Stern had gotten, especially the second time when Loki ripped to shreds Sterns comments that Tony was 'spoiled, dangerous, in it for the glory 'and others. it was hard to argue with Loki though when he pointed out Tony didn't HAVE to go into burning buildings, rescue cars that had fallen off cliffs, and save the world from alien invasions.
"i can't make your pregnancy better..." Tony whined, resting his head on her belly. "your making your mommy miserable baby." he gently scolded. it had taken him some intense therapy at the hands of one Sam Wilson at the V.A. before Tony had been okay with having a baby and now he was nothing but eager to be a father. "your making mommy sick in the mornings and then you kick her bladder. how naughty." he scolded with a smile, rubbing the belly. "i can't wait to meet you. mommy is being very mean you know. she won't tell Daddy what your gender is. no she won't because she's so cruel and wicked to daddy." he pouted, making Loki chuckle as he walked in. he was the one who had informed Tony that while the baby wouldn't understand, it could hear him, and so Ton had taken to babbling away at the baby in the belly because Loki had also said the baby would be more comfortable with voices it was familiar with.
