Loki chuckled a little and shook his head. “it’s not something I can control or turn off anymore than you can control your body’s acceptance of sperm.” he admitted. “not to be graphic, but I’ve actually been more likely to gather your genetic components orally than any other method.” he admitted. “after the baby is born, there is a potion I can take that halts my reproductive abilities. It’s as safe as being on the pill for humans and just as effective.” he promised. “I didn’t bother before because the potion is expensive and hard to make, but I can force Thor to get me the materials.” he promised. “they’ll look very much like you.” he promised, amused. “Steph’s genetic input will be very minute since yours was so… direct.” he teased before chuckling into the kiss.<br/><br/>“well…” Loki hesitated a little before deciding not to bring up the punishment he had received for attempting to subjugate earth. While it might have made them all a bit pleased to know Loki HAD been punished, Loki was also aware that the humans would think his punishment to be very extreme and would be upset by the ‘inhumane’ methods in which Odin had punished him. No, he wouldn’t say anything about the blood he had spilled for his mistakes. Not when it had gotten him everything he had truly been after.<br/><br/>“well, you have to understand, I am a shapeshifter. Which means my genetic code is… altered. It changes as I change, and so it’s flexible. My genetic code acts more as an amplifier to the genetic input from others.” he explained. “this has been true of all of my children. It will have some resemblance to me for sure, but it will mostly look like Johnny with a little bit of Steph and me as accents.” he admitted with a smile. “birth in asgard is… well it’s one of the most important things a woman goes through. It’s steeped in cultural ceremony. It’s almost like a wedding ceremony here on earth it’s that important.” he admitted. “I guess it was a surprise to me that it’s not the same here. Our cultures are very different.” he admitted. “but I’m finding that I very much prefer the earth way of doing things.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Bucky looked amused at her. “would that really be so bad Steph?” he asked, his head tilted. “do you really think that would bother them any? Whats so bad about having a baby that’s some of you? I know you’ve never wanted kids, but would it really be so bad to have one with two people who love you? It’s not like they're going to let you fuck up raising a kid, Loki especially. I mean, he’s had a half a dozen of them already right?” he hesitated. “have you met them at all? Loki’s kids? He’s never mentioned them before…”
