#aaaah....

I dont have many bc i cant handle sad w/ preg stuff really? But I do have this idea that since no one (including Loki himself) knows anything about a Jotun pregnancy, when Loki gets pregnant, after a month or so of knowing, he starts to get....cold. And colder. Cold to the point where he involuntarily can’t shift out of Jotun appearance and then so cold even he is sluggish and can barely move, and Tony and the others can’t even touch him.

So one day finally he just gets in bed and stays in bed. That night, Tony still sleeps beside him (all bundled up in full winter gear) but he wakes up just in time to see the bed frosting over, and he is able to get out of the way as the ice crystals grow larger and larger, and soon they’re encasing Loki and the entire bed half of their master bedroom. It stays that way, so cold it’s hard to get near the giant crystal and they can still see Loki inside though, like he’s sleeping peacefully. 

After days and days of panic and stress and trying to scan through the ice, they can see he’s still growing with child though, in the hollow little space that must be in the negative degrees inside. Tony and Thor work hard with both science and history from Asgard’s libraries to find out more info, because nothing can penetrate Loki’s magic protecting the ice, and they’re not even sure they should break it, and weeks and weeks are passing and it finally occurs to them they have no idea how long a Jotun gestation period lasts. Just because the baby is half human doesn’t mean it couldn’t be years. Decades...
