“Gee thanks babe. Don't skip lunch!” Johnny called after her, smiling. The Avenger's as a whole would spoil any kid of Steph's rotten, the real question was how Thor was going to take Johnny getting Loki pregnant. Noticing Loki crying though, Johnny pulls him tight against his chest and kisses his temple. “Nah it is a pretty common thing for birthing I think. Loki. You are not cutting the cord. You'll have been in labor! You will be exhausted and tired and I'd much rather you focus on you and the baby. Teach me this... ceremony. And we'll have doctors don't worry.” Johnny said rubbing Loki's back with his extra hand soothingly. These must be the mood swings people always talked about, bursting into tears, and then straight into being angry. The moment Loki called the baby an Ember though Johnny nuzzled Loki extremely affectionately. His voice came out muffled as he spoke against Loki's skin. “She's coming to terms with it.” he assured his pregnant lover.<br/><br/>Laura smiled and handed Loki a few tissue's. She laughed at Steph's reactions. “All babies are darling! Wait... Genetic Material?” Laura asked curiously looking at Steph then Loki and Johnny who were being simply adorable. “You can be on a bed with doctors.” Laura was quick to assure Loki. “Yes babies only take their first breath when they reach air. So the water eases the weight and pressure off of the mother, and allows to baby a few seconds to acclimate to having some arm and leg room. The doctor clears the mouth and nasal passages so when the baby takes it's first breath, it is clean and clear.” Laura explains quickly so Johnny and Loki and Steph could all understand that one. Loki I must agree with Johnny, I wouldn't advice you to cut the cord on your own. Usually the doctor handles the clamps and afterbirth, he simply let's the father make the cut. For humans it isn't so much a ceremony as a passage. It symbolizes the fact that the Mother's part is for the moment done and now it is the father's job to take care of both infant and mother, both. This way the afterbirth won't be attached to the infant and no excess... fluids return back into the infant to cause any damage or complications. It is no ceremony, but it is important none the less.” Laura explains this as well, really if everyone would read the books then come to her for explanations it would be a little easier on Laura. Then... Johnny became absolutely adorable and Laura whipped out her phone and snapped a few secret photo's.<br/><br/>Clint grinned and sat down at the table. Clearly out of the way so no one would pinch him anymore. “Human's like to be together, we are basically all pack animal's. So when anything happens we want our pack around us.” He chimed in as well. “Steph I think you and Johnny would make cherub like children. Blonde hair, pale skin, perfect blue eyes... maybe a chubby little one?” Clint grinned smugly. He was nothing if not an instigator. “Ew sis! Graphic! Gross!” Clint made a fuss and plenty of faces, even though he had been there with Laura twice for it. “It is a ceremony but with a lot less fuss. Instead of the pomp and fancy shit the Asgard's did, we slimmed it down to the necessary parts. They will let you keep the afterbirth for your ceremonies but in this instance Loki, the father takes the place of the mother, and the priest.” Clint said shaking his head, his sister didn't know, and neither did anyone else but Clint still got flashes of those memories, as much as he hated it, it at least came in handy to help calm Loki now.
