Chapter 75 Eeek Gender Reveal Party!
A/N As always thank you guys for reading my story, and any help, advice, praise, ideas, criticism, or just you yapping in the comments will be read and greatly appreciated. If you guys have an awesome scene in your head you would like to see, you have an OC you want to include, or you want a monster/other characters to pop up in my story. Also, I deal mainly with fluff, so I'm horrible at things like smut and angst, so if you guys don't like those, you're in luck because you probably won't see much of it here!
FRACKING DEDICATED TO BubblyChildOfHades you are a SAINT! They are marvellous! If you want me to write anything dear, please please please tell me! (Btw daring, this was from a while ago from when I wasn't working on my Peter Parker/Stony fic, you are a dear though.)

"The party's at two right?" Steve asked from the kitchen
It was eight n the morning and Natasha, Bruce, Loki, MJ, Peter, Steve, Tony, Wanda, and Vision were all up, setting up for Loki and Natasha's gender reveal party.
"Yes Steve, for the millionth time, the party is at 2," Natasha said, setting up a betting station, still a very able woman even at five months pregnant. Most of the boys didn't even dare ask her if she wanted help because she may have a big belly but she still had a wide range of moves she could do if anyone angered her.
"What can we do?" Peter asked, sitting on the couch with MJ reading by his side. Peter had woken up very early by accident and had unfortunately woken up M.J. along with him. Other than Loki, the two were the first ones up and had been lounging on the couch since five in the morning, much to M.J.'s displeasure, but neither of them had been able to go back to sleep.
Natasha looked around, looking for something for the two teens to do. Bruce was setting up the furniture (or trying to), Loki was in the kitchen with Steve, Wanda and Vision were setting up decorations, and Tony was just floating around, doing a bit of everything.
"You can help Steve and Loki in the kitchen," Natasha decided.
"C'mon MJ!" Peter said eagerly, jumping up off the couch, and running to the kitchens, he did like to help his mom and aunt with making dishes even though he wasn't the best at it, he managed not to screw up a lot of things and not burn stuff due to his spidey-sense (or Peter tingle.)
MJ rolled her eyes and looked at Natasha, mumbling under her breath so Peter wouldn't hear, "He's literally like an excited puppy."
Natasha just grinned at MJ's response and went on with the betting pool.
MJ and Peter walked into the kitchen and found Steve and Loki working seamlessly together for once in their lives.
MJ cleared her throat and Steve spun around to see them, "Oh hey you two, I'm guessing Natasha tools you two you could come here to help?"
"Yup!" Peter said, but it came out a lot louder than intended.
"Well, the cake is in the oven, but we have two platters if cookies in the fridge you two could decorate," Steve said.
"And tea sandwiches, you can help make those," Loki added, popping up behind Steve (literally, like, she just appeared there.)
It was common knowledge in the tower that Steve and Loki preferred to cook and bake things themselves, both being excellent bakers and cooks, they only bought things if it was necessary, like if they wouldn't be able to make enough things in a certain time frame or one of them was sick.
"I'll decorate cookies," MJ said in a mildly bored tone, walking over to one of the three fridges that were installed in the kitchen.
"I guess I'll do the tea sandwiches!" Peter said, walking to the other fridge, kissing MJ on the cheek when he got there.
Both teens turned different shades of pink, which Steve and Loki found absolutely adorable. Steve made a mental note to check if FRIDAY had been recording at the time and if she was to put it in the family scrapbook. No, he wasn't a sappy mom, he just loved seeing his kid happy after all he's been through.
...
At around noon, everything was finally set up, luckily some of the Avengers were actual intelligent beings and spent an entire week preparing for this, making the food, getting catering, buying decoration, the whole shawarma.
"The mothers and fathers to be should go get ready," Tony said, silently judging Natasha and Bruce's PJs. Loki, as always on special occasions, had gotten up at the break of dawn and was already dressed beautifully (much to Tony's distaste) and was smirking in his direction. It was the kind of smirk that said, "Haha, you thought gurl."
Bruce sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and Natasha just glared at Tony before both going to the elevator.
"Yeah, I think everyone who isn't already should get ready," Steve said, dragging a whining, PJ-clad Tony to the elevator as well.
...
Now, you guys are probably wondering, where the Helheim is the rest of the Avengers, well, let's see, shall we?
......
Bucky snuggled into his pillow, his blanket wrapped around him like a burrito and his metal arm left forgotten on the floor in front of the bed. His brown, Jesus-like hair, was tied up in a messy bun with a fluffy pink scrunchie and he looked at peace in his sleep.
.........
Thor snored like there was no tomorrow, and everyone in the building silently thanked Tony for installing sound-proof walls around Thor's room. Thor was one of those messy-sleepers, his hair a complete rat's nest and his mouth wide open, drool everywhere, his blue blanket lay half-way on top of him, and he was strewn out like a starfish, well, some type on very contorted starfish that had biceps the size of heads.
............
Pietro and Clint laid snuggled together in their bed, their legs were intertwined and Pietro had his cheek pressed against Clint's chest, their arms were slightly wrapped around each other and they looked like one of those cute human salt and peppery shakers. Luckily, neither of them drooled or snored, but they were deathly silent, which was usually alarming to anyone who came in to wake them up, but if you were quiet enough you could hear their light breathing.
...............
The first guests arrived at one o'clock on the dot.
"Hey, Nat," Fury siad, arms open wide.
"Nick!" Nat said joyfully, giving Fury a big hug.
"And hello there little agent," Fury told Natasha's baby bump.
"Nick we don't even know if the kid's going to want to be an agent or not.
Fury just shrugged and kissed Natasha's bump.
"Hello Loki," Maria said, the two had their differences but were still mutual friends due to Loki helping out at S.H.I.E.L.D. a lot and going on missions.
"Hello, Maria," Loki siad, giving an award-winning smile.
"Hey, Coulson!" Steve said, appearing behind Loki and Natasha.
Coulson, still being a little star-struck by his idol, gave Steve an awkward wave, "Nice to see you again Captain Rogers," he said before bringing his arm back stiffly to his side.
"Hey! Is that Director Eyepatch?" Tony asked with a big grin on his face, pushing his way to the front.
"Don' call me that Stark," Fury grumbled.
"Well, we have a barbeque going on at the top of the building, but come at your own risk right now. Legolas found a water gun tucked away somewhere and is now trying to hit the Quick Little Vustard dude," Tony said sashaying away.
"I completely hate the fact that I understood exactly what he was saying," Maria muttered, following him.
The next guest came five minutes later and it was no other than a smiling Pepper and grinning Morgan by her side.
"Natasha!" Pepper yelled, wrapping Natasha in a hug, being sure to be careful of her baby bump.
"Aunt Loki!" Morgan yelled, reaching her hands up to Loki for upsies.
"Why hello there my little dear," Loki said, "But I can't pick you up right now, but I can use my magic." Loki snapped her fingers and suddenly a cute tiara with (real) Asgardian gems appeared on Morgan's tiny little head, much to the younger girl's delight.
Morgan squealed when she felt the tiara appear on her head and took it off admiring it, "Look mamma!" she said, showing Pepper her new accessory.
"Yes, it's so beautiful," Pepper said, but whispered to Loki, "I swear you spoil her more than Tony does."
Loki just shrugged and grinned.
"Is it a baby girl?" Morgan asked, pointing to Loki's stomach.
Loki looked down at Moran, "Cheeky girl," she said chuckling slightly, bopping Morgan on the nose, "You'll just have to wait and see!"
Suddenly there was a crash and an excited voice shouted out from behind them, "Hey, little sis!"
"Peter!" Morgan yelled, practically leaping into her big bro's arms.
"Hey Pepper," MJ said, walking out from behind Peter and Morgan and giving the older woman a quick hug.
"Hello MJ, I hope Peter's been treating you well, has he?" Pepper asked teasingly as she hugged MJ. back, making sure to be loud enough so that Peter could hear her.
"I can hear you!" Peter yelled from where he was carrying Morgan to the elevator, he loved the fact that his super-strength made carrying Morgan a piece of cake.
"Yes, I know! And you're taking my kid away from me anyways Pete!" Pepper yelled back.
The four women laughed and Pepper and MJ followed Peter and Morgan to the elevator.
...
The next two guests to come were the lovely and amazing Allmother Queen Frigga and Odin.
"Hello, my daughter!" Frigga said with a bright smile on her face, making her look very youthful despite her ancient age, she pulled Loki into a hug, "Let's check on the little ones shall we?"
Frigga hovered her palm over Lok's stomach, her hand glowing slightly, doing the same to Natasha.
"They are both in excellent health!" Frigga said happily.
Natasha slightly bowed before them (to which Frigga told her she didn't need to for she was just a visitor from Asgard visiting her children, and that her title meant nothing here) before saying "Thor and Jane are on the top floor if you'd like to see them."
Frigga thanked Natasha before she and Odin left (both Natasha and Loki noticed how eager Odin looked to go see Thor compared to Loki) leaving the two pregnant women alone again.
...
Everyone else arrived about the right time and Natsah and Loki went to go the party was going for themselves, preparing for the worst because more than half of the people at this party were superpowers, something crazy was bound to happen, or at least something extremely stupid.
Upon arriving, on the top floor, Loki and Natasha identified the groups out of pure habit. The "children" group: Peter, Morgan, Ned, Shuri, MJ, and Wade (although Wade was technically an adult in his own right, he still acted like a child), who was presumably staring at memes and vines. Then there were the "moms but sometimes not really a mom so just women that act like adults": Frigga, Jane, Okoye, Wanda, May, Pepper, and Maria, who were no doubt taking about their "children" or "pet superheroes". The "Original Six": Tony, Steve, Bruce, Thor, and Clint, and only the Lord knows what they were doing without Natasha to keep them in check. The "I actually act like a mature adult" group Vision, Odin, Rhodey, Fury, Coulson, and T'Challa, who were all talking about mature adult stuff (boring). And the "honorary children because out mental age is lower than Morgan's": Sam, Bucky, and Pietro, who were trying to cause as much chaos and ruckus as possible, their main excuse no doubt being, "But I was bored and I have nobody to talk to!"
Loki went to walk to over to the mom group, no doubt to be with her mother, while Natasha went with the Original six because someone has to keep the morons in check. They were just relaxing(as best they could) for a while until Tony sparked up and actually said something to the entire party, "Alright! We should go down for dessert, and then reveal the genders! There will be a betting table down there folks! Place your bets!"
Everyone excitedly went down to the betting pool and placed their bets, after the sea of people calmed down, Natasha and Loki went over tp count everything up.
"So that's 9 betrs on a boy, 9 bets on a girl, and one bet on a feral snake for you," Natasha said, counting up the envelopes.
"Let me guess, Peter's annoying boyfriend?" Loki asked, referring to the snake bet, literally only one person in the entire building was that immature to suggest that Loki give birth to a snake.
"Yup."
"For you, 7 bets on a boy, 12 bets on a girl, and one bet on a mutant spider," Loki said delightfully.
"Wade is a special breed of isiot," Natasha said sighing, half wondering what Peter saw in him, then she remembered that she lived with quite a few idiots so she thought better.
"Are you ready to reveal the genders?"
"Ready than I'll ever be," Natasha replied smirking.
They gathered everyone to the top floor/training room where they had set up the gender reveal. There were two balloons hanging off of the ceiling, both black, and earlier they had put different coloured powders in, to represent the genders.
Natasha and Loki stepped up to the "firing zone" which had been taped off (although Wade couldn't care less and was prepared to jump right in if both MJ and Peter had not been holding onto him).
"Ready?" Natasha asked, looking to Loki.
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Fire!"
Natasha shot a balloon with a vibranium bullet from a shotgun, and Loki slide open the other balloon with a conjured up throwing knife.
The once silent room erupted in cheers as Natasha's balloon exploded in a bright magenta, but then quickly fell silent again when Loki's ballon erupted in every colour and shade possible.
"Let me explain." Loki said with a grin, "The child as we've found out, is a shapeshifter like me. It is every gender, yet no gender at the same time," Loki paused and turned to the infernal idiot who's name was Wade, "and I suppose a snake as well if they choose to."
The room erupted in cheers once more while Bruce, who had not known about the genders beforehand, held both of his wives close and kissed both of them on the cheek.
"That's amazing!" he exclaimed kneeling down to be level with the baby bumps, "I love you two no matter what or who you are, okay?"
Natasha and Loki cooed at how adorable their husband was, but, of course, their little moment just had to be ruined.
"Does that mean they won't be mutant spiders and snakes?" Wade pouted as he quickly ran away from the children group and over to where Natasha, Loki and Burce were standing.
The throuple just glared at Wade as M.J. came running over to them.
"Sorry, I'm trying to keep them under control," M.J. said, dragging Wade by the ear to over where Peter and Morgan were doing some funky dance and something about nieces, nephews and playdates.
Then Thor came running over and enveloped Loki into a gentle hug.
"THE CHILD WILL BE PERFECTION!" He bellowed with joy.
"Yes yes, don't spoil them too much," Loki said sighing, patting Thor's chest in an effort to get away from the hug.
"Is it just me, or is he like an excited puppy?" Jane said, coming over to them to stand beside Thor, "And congratulations you three! A baby girl and a little royal."
"Thank you, Jane," Loki said, "I still like her," Loki said pointedly to Thor.
Thor laughed, "Yes that is good dear sister!" he said happily, wrapping an arm around Jane.
"Well well well, new baby girl," Nick Fury said coming up on the other side of Thor and gesturing to Natasha's belly bump.
"Yup," Natasha said, fondly rubbing her tummy.
Fury smiled, he absolutely loved seeing his little murder-child so happy, she really deserved it after all she'd been through.
"You do know she's gonna be spoiled rotten?" Fury asked.
"As long as she knows everyone loves her, and her sibling, I'm good," Natasha said, all she wanted for her child was for her to know that she was cared for and loved.
"I love you guys," Bruce said, hugging the girls.
"And we love you too," the girls replied, kissing either of Bruce's cheeks.
