Bruce Banner-Pregnant

For the past few months, Bruce and been absorbed in his work and hadn't paid any attention at all to me. When this happened for a few days I let it go, I knew he lost track of time in the lab but this was getting ridiculous. It had been almost four months. I tried and tried to get his attention, I needed to talk to him. At one of Tony's parties both of us got drunk and had sex.

I don't regret it at all, but I really needed to talk to him. Everyone else in the tower knew why I needed to talk to him and he should've been the first to find out. I grabbed my pregnancy test and headed for the lab. I passed Steve on the way and one hell of a look must have been on my face because took a step back and asked, "You all right?"

"No," I answered in a firm clipped tone. Thankfully I was past morning sickness for the most part. I entered the lab and Bruce was focused on his work. "Bruce I need to talk to you." He ignored me. "No isn't an option here and I don't care what the other guy has to say about it. This concerns him too."

"I'm busy," he replied.

"You've been busy for the past four months. Can't you take five minutes for the woman you fucked at the party?" I was getting upset, I hated being so emotional and hormonal. "I'm not ashamed Bruce, but if you are at least own up enough for this," I said throwing my pregnancy test at him. My pee stick hit him in the face and I marched out.

I sighed, I didn't want to be alone, but I also didn't want Steve as my company. Everyone else was on a mission. Well except one. "Jarvis, where's Loki?" I asked. Loki had been with us these past few months.

"He's in his room miss," Jarvis replied.

"Thank you," I said heading in that direction.

Bruce's POV

Darci had thrown something at me after some yelling. At first, I kind of ignored it, then I realized what she threw. It was a positive pregnancy test. How long had she known? How long had she been trying to tell me? "Jarvis, where is Darci?" I asked.

"She's with Loki," Jarvis replied. The two of us didn't get along. Hulk didn't like him either.

"Dear god I fucked up," I muttered.

"Hey Bruce, Darci talk to you?" Steve asked.

"More like at me. I wouldn't give her the time of day. How long has she been pregnant?"

"About four months," Steve replied.

"Why didn't she tell me?" I asked.

"She tried, several times, you just shut her out. It's been hard on her. The rest of us have been her support system. When she had morning sickness Loki was the only one she let touch her. She takes a lot of comfort in his presence."

I just don't...why?"

"What was she supposed to do Bruce? She tried to go to you and you pushed her away. After so many times she took the hint. She just wanted you to know that you fathered a child."

Darci POV

I was currently laying next to a sleeping Loki. He was quite used to this, I'd come into his room and lay down beside him. I knew I wouldn't startle him when he woke. I just hoped that there wasn't a code green in the lab because I wasn't in the mood to deal with it. It would all be on Steve. I drifted off next to my friend, enjoying the temperature difference between us. His cool skin helped me stay cool.

I knew later Bruce and I would probably end up in an argument. I just wasn't doing it right now. Here in Loki's room, it was quiet and cool. I thought it was the perfect place to take a nap.
