Rescheduling

[ceruleancoquet]

And Loki knew he could trust Lag and believe him without any doubt, but he still felt bad. He wished he could please his husband the way he wanted to. Loki just reminded himself that this was a short phase and once the babies were born and started to grow, they could get back into the swing of things. Right now, they were focusing on growing the family rather than on keeping the romance alive. 

Sighing, Loki lifted Lag’s hand to gently kiss his knuckles.

“I know, but I wish you didn’t have to. Though, in my defense, you did know this when you signed up for it. Babies are not easy. And the hardest part is yet to come.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag grinned like a boy again for a moment. Beaming and he rested his chin in Loki’s neck.

“Oh, I know and I’m as excited as I am terrified.”

He then blinked, looking at Loki.

“They’re going to be so small and cute at first”, he grew a little sheepish.

“ I am going to be so scared to hurt them, I might wear mittens in my giant bear hands.”

He said as he opened the hand that held Loki’s, and his fit perfectly in Lag’s palm. He had lifted his other hand too to emphasize. Water dripping from his fingers.

“But I am a big warm machine! Fuck, I don’t want to squish them or anything”.

Oh Lag, he was insecure about his size for a brief moment. Knowing, yet not knowing how big or how small, yet no matter what how fragile they will be. Even Loki. He was starting to feel a little light headed with worry.

[ceruleancoquet]

It was times like these when Loki knew Lag was a great father. He cared so much about their unborn children and that meant a lot to Loki. Sensing Lag’s descend in mood, he shifted a little onto his side to snuggle more into Lag and peck his cheek. 

“You will not squish them, I promise. You will know how to hold them when they are here. Aye, they are small, but fatherly instincts will kick in. You are going to be perfect, I know it. No mittens necessary.” 

Chuckling, Loki pecked Lag’s lips softly. 

“They will need to bond with their father too, you know. You can lay them on your chest and they can just sleep there. It may help with your nerves as well.”

Rescheduling

[ceruleancoquet]

There was something so much better about feeling Lag hold him now that he was pregnant. He felt secure and the twins felt secure in a very satisfying way. They knew their daddy would take care of them. Loki smiled in adoration, giving a soft moan as his eyes slipped shut. Damn the massage was good. He never realized how tense he was until he got the chance to relax. 

“Me, as a watermelon? Please, I’ll be too big to do much of that soon.” Loki shifted to lean forward just a bit so Lag could better massage his shoulders. He feared he may fall asleep if it felt too good. “I can’t even see my own feet when I’m standing now.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag chuckled, and as he leaned forward he gave attention to the exposed areas. Touching him with pleasant fingers digging gently into his rigged flesh. Lag felt a little guilty about it. He could feel the tension and vowed to himself that he’d do this more often.

“Oh hush. If you make it a challenge I’m sure I’ll find a way to please you… Like that”, he laughed then kissed his shoulder, working back up. He was happy that it was helping Loki. His body and heart throbbing with adoration.

Then Lag grinned, “That’s because time is ever growing near. It’ll be a walk in park”, then he looked at him, as he lifted his arms. Wrapping them over and across Loki’s chest to draw him back against his own. Lying back once again.

“Well, maybe not a walk. But you’ll come out alright, and stronger just like every time before. Besides, I love chubby Loki”, he said with a boyish mirth in his visage. He nuzzled and rested his head at the crook of Loki’s neck, while his arms held him. His thumbs caressing his shoulder and belly.

[ceruleancoquet]

The more Loki thought about it, the more he realized how tense he was all the time. Being king had stress of its own. He was constantly tense because of that and now bringing two more beings into the world was its own sort of stress. Lag was so lovely but Loki still feared consequences of his small form bearing two children at once. 

He smiled, relaxing against Lag and feeling so secure. Lag’s strong arms cradled him ever so gently and Loki felt he could just melt away. Die happy. There was something so alluring and yet comforting about feeling someone capable of such strength and yet still opting to be gentle. It was both a turn on and a great comfort. The king snorted.

“First of all, you haven’t experienced babies yet. You’re going to be as much of a baby as they are. It’s not even close to a walk in the park. Perhaps more like a carriage ride over the ridged mountains.” Loki shook his head in amusement. “You do realize that the chubbiness doesn’t go away after I give birth, right? I’ll have these gross fat skin sacks until I lose the pregnancy weight.” His nose scrunched in disgust. He didn’t like that part. “I’ll have to start working out rather quickly.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag began to smirk, his chest thrumming with laughter that he muffled into Loki’s neck.

“Love, I’ll have you know. I have taken care of, many babies”, he shrugged. He counted toddlers and baby Troika as babies he’d taken care of. His brothers after their mother died and their Father became rather useless. He was there.

But he knew Loki was right either way. It was going to be something beautiful, and chaotic and Lag couldn’t wait.

Then, Lag started to really beam, “they are not gross, and so what? You know it’s all natural and no matter how big you are or get. I love you, always want to fuck you”, but then he coughed, “uhm. Excuse my language little ones”, he chuckled, “but anyway, that and! You still are petite to me”, and to emphasize, he tickled his neck with his nose and lips. Hugging Loki a little tighter.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki did seem to forget that Lag had also taken care of his brothers when they were children. It was probably the reason Lag was so fatherly and caring now. Still, having babies of their own would be different, but at least they weren’t totally unprepared. 

His disgusted face only amplified and he gently elbowed his husband. 

“I have to maintain a figure for my own dignity, Lag. And for Jotunheim. I’d never forgive myself if I let myself grow….fat.” He even shuddered at the thought. Loki had always been vain and desired to look nice in every situation. He couldn’t imagine himself actually letting himself go. Gross. 

“Mm, well I hope you take the opportunities when they come because I will not want to fuck you for quite some time after they are born.” Loki chuckled quietly. “Which reminds me, we still have to fuck on my throne at some point.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag wondered if Loki caught his eye roll but it was light. But he smiled by the end, shaking his head.

“Oh, Don’t we?”, He then chuckled. Kissing the back of his head. Lag relaxed in the water himself for a moment before he actually yawned. Oh god, he was getting older. But he was aged like fine wine, and an old happy cat. He smiled almost dumbly. Then hummed.

“You’re my reason”, he said softly. “You, Ragnar, and Drago. Are my reason. You, Ragnar, Drago, and the little ones yet to be. Are my reason I keep pushing”, Lag dipped his head in Loki’s neck, while adjusted his hold on him.

[ceruleancoquet]

He was definitely aging like fine wine. Loki was happy to be growing old with him. Though the Jotnar lifespan was rather long and they wouldn’t have to worry about death for quite some time, hopefully, Loki was still glad they had so long together. The time they had left would make up for the first few hundred years of Loki’s life that were a complete disaster. Lag made those memories just a little better. 

Smiling, Loki nuzzled against him. “Good. You’re my reason as well, but you know this. You keep me strong, dear. You are so, so much to me. And to the boys. Norns. You’re everything to Drago. I know he wishes he could bond with you more. And you already know you’re everything to Ragnar.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag pursed his lips against Loki’s skin in thought. Furrowing his brows.

“Perhaps they could both come with me in next week’s conference I’ll be having with the Marshalls.” His breath fanned over his back. Lag began to place kiss after kiss over his skin, tickling his neck, while his hands slipped under his arms and teased his chest. Lag smirked.

“Ragnar wishes he could have realised what happened all those years ago. Instead of being so mad at you. He’s coming around you know. You mean everything to him, if not more than I do”, he said softly.

[ceruleancoquet]

“That’s a wonderful idea. They need more experience in royal matters anyway. I know they are still children but it worries me that I haven’t seen much maturity out of either of them.” Loki sighed. He loved his boys dearly, but he feared neither would be ready if he died suddenly. Lag would take the throne until they were ready, but that would be even harder without Loki around to guide them. 

He smiled gently, leaning to peck Lag’s cheek in gratitude for that nice thought.

“I’m glad. He will understand it more when he’s older. Though I pray he won’t ever have to understand it firsthand. I hope he can grow into the role of being king. He is nearly at the age when it is starting to matter.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag let out a sigh, “Oh Norns. You’re right. It makes me sad”, he whined, leaning his forehead against him. As if to hide from that reality. After a moment he lifted his head.

“But, what must come, will come. And he’ll be ready. I’m sure.” He then playfully but into Loki’s neck. A little nibble. Purposely to distract from that fact that his first kid is growing up so fast. Norns they both are.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki chuckled quietly. He knew this was all wishful thinking and whatnot but he couldn’t help being deeply worried on the inside. He was still scared about dying in childbirth and didn’t want the boys to be ill-prepared. Loki made a note to increase their studies from now on. 

Then he grunted at the slight nibble, smirking and nuzzling back against his husband.

“Are you feeling alright, dear? You seem a little frisky today.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag shrugged, “I haven’t been able to please my husband for a few weeks now, and I’ll admit it’s gets a little hard not to want to”, he said huskily. As his hands kneaded his flesh lovingly as he continued to gentle attack Loki’s neck.

[ceruleancoquet]

That made Loki smile. Lag was so attentive to him and it was sweet. He craned his neck carefully to peck Lag’s cheek. 

“You know everything aches now. If it’s not the twins sitting on my bladder, it’s my organs shifting to make room for them or the never ending headache I have from the boys and the throne.” He gently sighed. “It’s not that I don’t want to, love, I just don’t have much energy anymore.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag nodded, with a gentle sigh, “I understand. I love you”, he smiled and his caught Loki’s chin after he pecked his cheek. And he leant down to capture his lips in a chaste, and loving kiss. Then he hugged him before he glanced at his hand.

“Hmm, pruny.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki smiled into the kiss, letting himself melt into Lag for just a little bit. He did feel bad for not being so active with Lag lately, it was just so hard to find the energy. He didn’t want to accidentally fall asleep halfway through. Loki hummed, content, and then chuckled softly.

“Aye, you are becoming an old man.” Loki took that hand and simply interlocked their fingers. “I’m sorry for neglecting you.”

The more Loki thought about it, the more he realized how tense he was all the time. Being king had stress of its own. He was constantly tense because of that and now bringing two more beings into the world was its own sort of stress. Lag was so lovely but Loki still feared consequences of his small form bearing two children at once. 

He smiled, relaxing against Lag and feeling so secure. Lag’s strong arms cradled him ever so gently and Loki felt he could just melt away. Die happy. There was something so alluring and yet comforting about feeling someone capable of such strength and yet still opting to be gentle. It was both a turn on and a great comfort. The king snorted.

“First of all, you haven’t experienced babies yet. You’re going to be as much of a baby as they are. It’s not even close to a walk in the park. Perhaps more like a carriage ride over the ridged mountains.” Loki shook his head in amusement. “You do realize that the chubbiness doesn’t go away after I give birth, right? I’ll have these gross fat skin sacks until I lose the pregnancy weight.” His nose scrunched in disgust. He didn’t like that part. “I’ll have to start working out rather quickly.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag began to smirk, his chest thrumming with laughter that he muffled into Loki’s neck.

“Love, I’ll have you know. I have taken care of, many babies”, he shrugged. He counted toddlers and baby Troika as babies he’d taken care of. His brothers after their mother died and their Father became rather useless. He was there.

But he knew Loki was right either way. It was going to be something beautiful, and chaotic and Lag couldn’t wait.

Then, Lag started to really beam, “they are not gross, and so what? You know it’s all natural and no matter how big you are or get. I love you, always want to fuck you”, but then he coughed, “uhm. Excuse my language little ones”, he chuckled, “but anyway, that and! You still are petite to me”, and to emphasize, he tickled his neck with his nose and lips. Hugging Loki a little tighter.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki did seem to forget that Lag had also taken care of his brothers when they were children. It was probably the reason Lag was so fatherly and caring now. Still, having babies of their own would be different, but at least they weren’t totally unprepared. 

His disgusted face only amplified and he gently elbowed his husband. 

“I have to maintain a figure for my own dignity, Lag. And for Jotunheim. I’d never forgive myself if I let myself grow….fat.” He even shuddered at the thought. Loki had always been vain and desired to look nice in every situation. He couldn’t imagine himself actually letting himself go. Gross. 

“Mm, well I hope you take the opportunities when they come because I will not want to fuck you for quite some time after they are born.” Loki chuckled quietly. “Which reminds me, we still have to fuck on my throne at some point.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag wondered if Loki caught his eye roll but it was light. But he smiled by the end, shaking his head.

“Oh, Don’t we?”, He then chuckled. Kissing the back of his head. Lag relaxed in the water himself for a moment before he actually yawned. Oh god, he was getting older. But he was aged like fine wine, and an old happy cat. He smiled almost dumbly. Then hummed.

“You’re my reason”, he said softly. “You, Ragnar, and Drago. Are my reason. You, Ragnar, Drago, and the little ones yet to be. Are my reason I keep pushing”, Lag dipped his head in Loki’s neck, while adjusted his hold on him.

[ceruleancoquet]

He was definitely aging like fine wine. Loki was happy to be growing old with him. Though the Jotnar lifespan was rather long and they wouldn’t have to worry about death for quite some time, hopefully, Loki was still glad they had so long together. The time they had left would make up for the first few hundred years of Loki’s life that were a complete disaster. Lag made those memories just a little better. 

Smiling, Loki nuzzled against him. “Good. You’re my reason as well, but you know this. You keep me strong, dear. You are so, so much to me. And to the boys. Norns. You’re everything to Drago. I know he wishes he could bond with you more. And you already know you’re everything to Ragnar.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag pursed his lips against Loki’s skin in thought. Furrowing his brows.

“Perhaps they could both come with me in next week’s conference I’ll be having with the Marshalls.” His breath fanned over his back. Lag began to place kiss after kiss over his skin, tickling his neck, while his hands slipped under his arms and teased his chest. Lag smirked.

“Ragnar wishes he could have realised what happened all those years ago. Instead of being so mad at you. He’s coming around you know. You mean everything to him, if not more than I do”, he said softly.

[ceruleancoquet]

“That’s a wonderful idea. They need more experience in royal matters anyway. I know they are still children but it worries me that I haven’t seen much maturity out of either of them.” Loki sighed. He loved his boys dearly, but he feared neither would be ready if he died suddenly. Lag would take the throne until they were ready, but that would be even harder without Loki around to guide them. 

He smiled gently, leaning to peck Lag’s cheek in gratitude for that nice thought.

“I’m glad. He will understand it more when he’s older. Though I pray he won’t ever have to understand it firsthand. I hope he can grow into the role of being king. He is nearly at the age when it is starting to matter.”

[ceruleancoquet]

There was something so much better about feeling Lag hold him now that he was pregnant. He felt secure and the twins felt secure in a very satisfying way. They knew their daddy would take care of them. Loki smiled in adoration, giving a soft moan as his eyes slipped shut. Damn the massage was good. He never realized how tense he was until he got the chance to relax. 

“Me, as a watermelon? Please, I’ll be too big to do much of that soon.” Loki shifted to lean forward just a bit so Lag could better massage his shoulders. He feared he may fall asleep if it felt too good. “I can’t even see my own feet when I’m standing now.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag chuckled, and as he leaned forward he gave attention to the exposed areas. Touching him with pleasant fingers digging gently into his rigged flesh. Lag felt a little guilty about it. He could feel the tension and vowed to himself that he’d do this more often.

“Oh hush. If you make it a challenge I’m sure I’ll find a way to please you… Like that”, he laughed then kissed his shoulder, working back up. He was happy that it was helping Loki. His body and heart throbbing with adoration.

Then Lag grinned, “That’s because time is ever growing near. It’ll be a walk in park”, then he looked at him, as he lifted his arms. Wrapping them over and across Loki’s chest to draw him back against his own. Lying back once again.

“Well, maybe not a walk. But you’ll come out alright, and stronger just like every time before. Besides, I love chubby Loki”, he said with a boyish mirth in his visage. He nuzzled and rested his head at the crook of Loki’s neck, while his arms held him. His thumbs caressing his shoulder and belly.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki knew all too well how hard it was as a parent to let go of their child, even if they were in safe hands. Though Loki had never really felt like Bjorn was entirely safe. He’d always been very protective of Ragnar back then. And Drago. 

The king snorted in amusement, nuzzling back into his husband. He agreed, he couldn’t wait to have two of their own little ones again. This was a nice picture of what their future would be. Their nephew in his arms was almost like the twins. 

“I hope you don’t knock two into me ever again. I don’t think I could handle six children.” Well, not with the four so young at least. But perhaps he’d consider more children, if he lived through this birth. Always testing the limits, he was. 

“Will you help with dinner while I tend to the babe? He is in a good mood for now, but who knows how long it will last. And I don’t think the boys should be in the kitchen alone. Who knows what they’re getting into.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag snorted, doing as his husband asked.

Troi slapped the final part of the meal. A turkey and made jazz hands.

“Vwallaaa. Okay dinner is ready”.

That’s when Lag cringed at the sound of something crashing. And then Donny laughing.

Lag snapped fatherly,

“Better fix what ever you broke before I come in there.”

Then there was shuffling, and the “man” and two children came back out. Mock whistling. Lag looked unamused.

“If it was Mother’s vase. Your both grounded, and I just beat you Donny”.

Donny shook his head,

“Nay, nothing broke but my spirit”, he said dramatically, then shrugged, “And just a picture frame. My fault though, I helped Drago shoot the magic ball.”

Lag blinked, opening his mouth, but no sound came out as he was too confused. Then he just waved it off,

“Alright, never mind it. Dinner is ready boys.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki wasn’t surprised. The boys got ever so mischievous when going to their uncles house. Their parents themselves were also quite mischievous so it would make sense that the boys were as well. Still, proper parenting had to happen even if Loki might have once snickered and laughed at it all. 

Instead, he sighed, walking into the kitchen, still rubbing the baby’s back. A brow raised. “I thought you two knew better than playing rough in the house. At least take it outside if you must. I ought to make you purchase a new frame for your uncles.” 

Loki tsked softly. “Clean up and then come sit for dinner.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

The boys all settled down and after dinner, and it was late. Troi was off doing his own thing. Donny had fallen asleep on the couch, and the boys did as well downstairs. All left awake in the low light from the hearth and candles around.

Lag rested in his old bedroom, with Loki and luckily Lu had fallen in a needed and deep slumber so there they were with Nordle in his arms.

The mattress of aged hide was still rather comfortable, and clean. Lu or Donny must have thought to once in a while dust it out. Which was kind of them. Though Lagnatony didn’t really know. He stroked back the little ones mound of soft hair, before he glanced at Loki.

“How are you feeling my love”, he asked him, his hand drifting to rub over Loki’s bump.

“You are so beautiful, you know that.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki himself was surprised that Lag’s brothers had kept up his room. It was really sweet. He so often admired the relationship Lag had with his brothers, for very obvious reasons. And he was blessed just to be invited into that relationship. Sometimes Loki felt like he was overstepping or intruding, but the men would always reassure him that wasn’t the case. It warmed his heart. 

Loki sighed, glad to have a moment to relax now that the house was rather quiet. The palace was always bustling, if the boys weren’t running around screaming. Not to mention the little ones kicking around inside him. It was rare to find true peace and quiet, but Loki felt so calm here. He was with his family, his real family. Loki smiled, leaning into Lag as he held the baby. Poor Nordle had fallen asleep like the rest of them. 

“Oh, they are becoming rather active. I know it will become increasingly harder to sleep in the coming weeks. Two is sucking out my energy much more than one did.” He gave a tired huff in response to that. “But I am alright. All is well for now.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled at the snoozy child. He then looked back at Loki and smiled sympathetically. Lag sometimes tend to feel guilty about his husband’s ailments. Given he had a part in the matter. But he sat up.

“Would you want a bath? No one will bother you, and I can put Nordle in his crib. Then help you with relaxing, perhaps we could all just spend the night here. Norns, everyone else is asleep”, he said gently.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki didn’t blame Lag at all for this. They’d both wanted it and had planned for it. He didn’t regret a single thing. Though he was often in pain and suffering, he enjoyed every moment of knowing he’d have two more kids with Lag.

“Oh, that would be lovely. This little one is adorable but I believe he’s putting pressure on my own little ones.” Loki grunted as he shifted to get up. Everything took too much effort, in his opinion. 

“Aye, we may spend the night. It’s late and likely the boys will sleep through the night anyway.” Loki smiled at Lag. “Will you join me in my bath? I may be weak to your massages.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled, moving to stand off the bed and leaned over. Gingerly taking the babe and cradling the child in his arms. He took a moment to admire the little one. He loved kids and thinking of his own this small. My, he’d seem them even smaller!

Lag snapped out of it and leaned down to peck his temple,

“I find that thought lovely.”

Lag then walked out,

“I’ll start the bath too love, I’ll be right back”.

Lag was quick to find the little nursery next to where Lu was sound asleep and snoring. Lag smiled and sighed contently. Getting the baby all bundled up and there he shut the door left only a crack open. Just in case. Then Lag found the bathroom and got the water running.

He scanned over the kinds of soaps and salts they had here and there wasn’t much. Seems smelly bubbles would just have to do, he’d make it up to Loki, Lag smirked to himself. Then he went to find his plump little husband and offered him his hand.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki knew Lag was going to be the perfect father to two newborns. He hadn’t gotten the opportunity to raise a baby. Ragnar was a few years old when he’d had to start taking over. The stress associated with babies would likely overwhelm Lag, but luckily Loki knew what to expect and would be there to support his husband. They supported each other.

As Lag took the baby to put him down, Loki shifted to his feet with a huff. His petite frame made the babies seem to pop out more and it was hard to move. He didn’t even know if he’d be able to stand in the end weeks. For now, he carefully removed his tunic and sat there, admiring the way the twins slowly moved within him. It was so weird that there were two life forms in there rather than one.

Smiling, Loki took Lag’s hand and made his way carefully to the bathroom. He became very aware of how his feet had started to hurt. 

“I don’t know how I’ll walk in the final days. I’m already getting too big to get around easily. You may have to start taking over some of my duties if I am unable to make meetings.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled at him reassuringly, “Then I’ll just have to carry you”, he said playfully. Then when in the bathroom he turned and locked the door and the bath was full and bubbly so he turned off the faucet. He looked at him, while he was haste to take off his very minimal amount of clothing he wore himself.

“Fair enough, love. In the final days, hell even now. You just focus on resting, and breathing, and growing”, he chuckled. Then for a moment he took him in. How much he adored his husband, even more so full of their children. Lag knew he come from a large family, but he never imagined he’d get to have one of his own. Four beaming bright children. Ragnar and Drago were growing into fine young boys and it all had Lag’s heart throbbing with pleasure.

He leaned over and kissed Loki’s lips, softly, lovingly. Before he moved to help him in. Looking into those ruby eyes,

“I love you.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki had to snort at the idea of Lag carrying him everywhere. It was certainly amusing but Loki’s dignity would prevent him from accepting the offer. The offer was good enough for Loki. He loved knowing how involved Lag planned to be, as he should.

He shed his loincloth and took Lag’s help into the bath carefully. He was afraid of slipping and injuring himself or the twins. As he slowly sat down in the breath, he got a whiff of the soaps and his nose scrunched. 

“Mm, I see your brothers aren’t ones for elegance.”

Loki reached back up to pull Lag in with him. He was ever so needy and bathing without his husband just wouldn’t do. 

“I love you, too, dearest.” Ah, how Loki loved to hear those words. “You complete me, you know.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag chortled,

“You’re telling me? They’re Raigson’s remember.” Then he slipped right in, snuggled behind Loki, and luckily for Loki’s size there was plenty of room for the both of them. Lag’s heart flutter and his stomach and chest felt warm as he heard his husband’s whispers. He would always be happy to hear them. He wrapped his arms around him gently and roamed his hand over his stomach.

“As you complete me. My darling”, he kissed his cheek. “My King”, kissed his shoulder. “My lover”, he purred, then snuck a little nip on his neck, “My husband.”

Then he sighed contently, “Now, relax in the temperature and I’ll give this nice body of your some tension relief”, then after a moment of silence.

“I mean I’m going to give you a massage.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Of course, Lag was a Raigson as well so he too fit right into the mix. Lag was hardly elegant. No, he was rather clumsy and awkward most of the time. But it suited him for some reason. He was so opposite to Loki and yet somehow they fit together perfectly.

Loki settled against Lag with a tired sigh, already enjoying any sort of touch. With the pregnancy hormones arising, he often felt needy and touch-starved. Any touch from the father of his children soothed him, and the twins. They always died down when they felt Lag’s hands and heard his voice. 

He couldn’t help but smirk softly, a hand slipping over Lag’s. 

“Mm, I will accept any sort of tension relief you will provide, dear. It’s important to keep mama well taken care of, no?”

“Better fix what ever you broke before I come in there.”

Then there was shuffling, and the “man” and two children came back out. Mock whistling. Lag looked unamused.

“If it was Mother’s vase. Your both grounded, and I just beat you Donny”.

Donny shook his head,

“Nay, nothing broke but my spirit”, he said dramatically, then shrugged, “And just a picture frame. My fault though, I helped Drago shoot the magic ball.”

Lag blinked, opening his mouth, but no sound came out as he was too confused. Then he just waved it off,

“Alright, never mind it. Dinner is ready boys.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki wasn’t surprised. The boys got ever so mischievous when going to their uncles house. Their parents themselves were also quite mischievous so it would make sense that the boys were as well. Still, proper parenting had to happen even if Loki might have once snickered and laughed at it all. 

Instead, he sighed, walking into the kitchen, still rubbing the baby’s back. A brow raised. “I thought you two knew better than playing rough in the house. At least take it outside if you must. I ought to make you purchase a new frame for your uncles.” 

Loki tsked softly. “Clean up and then come sit for dinner.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

The boys all settled down and after dinner, and it was late. Troi was off doing his own thing. Donny had fallen asleep on the couch, and the boys did as well downstairs. All left awake in the low light from the hearth and candles around.

Lag rested in his old bedroom, with Loki and luckily Lu had fallen in a needed and deep slumber so there they were with Nordle in his arms.

The mattress of aged hide was still rather comfortable, and clean. Lu or Donny must have thought to once in a while dust it out. Which was kind of them. Though Lagnatony didn’t really know. He stroked back the little ones mound of soft hair, before he glanced at Loki.

“How are you feeling my love”, he asked him, his hand drifting to rub over Loki’s bump.

“You are so beautiful, you know that.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki himself was surprised that Lag’s brothers had kept up his room. It was really sweet. He so often admired the relationship Lag had with his brothers, for very obvious reasons. And he was blessed just to be invited into that relationship. Sometimes Loki felt like he was overstepping or intruding, but the men would always reassure him that wasn’t the case. It warmed his heart. 

Loki sighed, glad to have a moment to relax now that the house was rather quiet. The palace was always bustling, if the boys weren’t running around screaming. Not to mention the little ones kicking around inside him. It was rare to find true peace and quiet, but Loki felt so calm here. He was with his family, his real family. Loki smiled, leaning into Lag as he held the baby. Poor Nordle had fallen asleep like the rest of them. 

“Oh, they are becoming rather active. I know it will become increasingly harder to sleep in the coming weeks. Two is sucking out my energy much more than one did.” He gave a tired huff in response to that. “But I am alright. All is well for now.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled at the snoozy child. He then looked back at Loki and smiled sympathetically. Lag sometimes tend to feel guilty about his husband’s ailments. Given he had a part in the matter. But he sat up.

“Would you want a bath? No one will bother you, and I can put Nordle in his crib. Then help you with relaxing, perhaps we could all just spend the night here. Norns, everyone else is asleep”, he said gently.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki didn’t blame Lag at all for this. They’d both wanted it and had planned for it. He didn’t regret a single thing. Though he was often in pain and suffering, he enjoyed every moment of knowing he’d have two more kids with Lag.

“Oh, that would be lovely. This little one is adorable but I believe he’s putting pressure on my own little ones.” Loki grunted as he shifted to get up. Everything took too much effort, in his opinion. 

“Aye, we may spend the night. It’s late and likely the boys will sleep through the night anyway.” Loki smiled at Lag. “Will you join me in my bath? I may be weak to your massages.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled, moving to stand off the bed and leaned over. Gingerly taking the babe and cradling the child in his arms. He took a moment to admire the little one. He loved kids and thinking of his own this small. My, he’d seem them even smaller!

Lag snapped out of it and leaned down to peck his temple,

“I find that thought lovely.”

Lag then walked out,

“I’ll start the bath too love, I’ll be right back”.

Lag was quick to find the little nursery next to where Lu was sound asleep and snoring. Lag smiled and sighed contently. Getting the baby all bundled up and there he shut the door left only a crack open. Just in case. Then Lag found the bathroom and got the water running.

He scanned over the kinds of soaps and salts they had here and there wasn’t much. Seems smelly bubbles would just have to do, he’d make it up to Loki, Lag smirked to himself. Then he went to find his plump little husband and offered him his hand.

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki knew Lag was going to be the perfect father to two newborns. He hadn’t gotten the opportunity to raise a baby. Ragnar was a few years old when he’d had to start taking over. The stress associated with babies would likely overwhelm Lag, but luckily Loki knew what to expect and would be there to support his husband. They supported each other.

As Lag took the baby to put him down, Loki shifted to his feet with a huff. His petite frame made the babies seem to pop out more and it was hard to move. He didn’t even know if he’d be able to stand in the end weeks. For now, he carefully removed his tunic and sat there, admiring the way the twins slowly moved within him. It was so weird that there were two life forms in there rather than one.

Smiling, Loki took Lag’s hand and made his way carefully to the bathroom. He became very aware of how his feet had started to hurt. 

“I don’t know how I’ll walk in the final days. I’m already getting too big to get around easily. You may have to start taking over some of my duties if I am unable to make meetings.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag smiled at him reassuringly, “Then I’ll just have to carry you”, he said playfully. Then when in the bathroom he turned and locked the door and the bath was full and bubbly so he turned off the faucet. He looked at him, while he was haste to take off his very minimal amount of clothing he wore himself.

“Fair enough, love. In the final days, hell even now. You just focus on resting, and breathing, and growing”, he chuckled. Then for a moment he took him in. How much he adored his husband, even more so full of their children. Lag knew he come from a large family, but he never imagined he’d get to have one of his own. Four beaming bright children. Ragnar and Drago were growing into fine young boys and it all had Lag’s heart throbbing with pleasure.

He leaned over and kissed Loki’s lips, softly, lovingly. Before he moved to help him in. Looking into those ruby eyes,

“I love you.”

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki had to snort at the idea of Lag carrying him everywhere. It was certainly amusing but Loki’s dignity would prevent him from accepting the offer. The offer was good enough for Loki. He loved knowing how involved Lag planned to be, as he should.

He shed his loincloth and took Lag’s help into the bath carefully. He was afraid of slipping and injuring himself or the twins. As he slowly sat down in the breath, he got a whiff of the soaps and his nose scrunched. 

“Mm, I see your brothers aren’t ones for elegance.”

Loki reached back up to pull Lag in with him. He was ever so needy and bathing without his husband just wouldn’t do. 

“I love you, too, dearest.” Ah, how Loki loved to hear those words. “You complete me, you know.”

[ceruleancoquet]

[ceruleancoquet]

Loki knew all too well how hard it was as a parent to let go of their child, even if they were in safe hands. Though Loki had never really felt like Bjorn was entirely safe. He’d always been very protective of Ragnar back then. And Drago. 

The king snorted in amusement, nuzzling back into his husband. He agreed, he couldn’t wait to have two of their own little ones again. This was a nice picture of what their future would be. Their nephew in his arms was almost like the twins. 

“I hope you don’t knock two into me ever again. I don’t think I could handle six children.” Well, not with the four so young at least. But perhaps he’d consider more children, if he lived through this birth. Always testing the limits, he was. 

“Will you help with dinner while I tend to the babe? He is in a good mood for now, but who knows how long it will last. And I don’t think the boys should be in the kitchen alone. Who knows what they’re getting into.”

[jotun-living-deactivated2021030]

Lag snorted, doing as his husband asked.

Troi slapped the final part of the meal. A turkey and made jazz hands.

“Vwallaaa. Okay dinner is ready”.

That’s when Lag cringed at the sound of something crashing. And then Donny laughing.

Lag snapped fatherly,
