The Love Of Mischief

Chapter 60

It's been about 8 and half years since Elijah was born and let me tell you. He is one cheeky little boy. He got my eyes and Loki's hair. He did inherit both mine and Loki's powers of both ice and fire. When he uses his ice powers, His eyes turn red but he doesn't have blue skin. He does get the veins though.

About 3 years after Elijah was born, I gave birth to another son. We called him Evior. He was the brunette version of Loki but with green eyes. Elijah was absolutely smitten with his baby brother, Would not leave him alone for the first month. Evior only got my firepower and when he used his powers, His eyes also turn red.

I got pregnant when Evior was 5 years. And much to Loki's delight, I am pregnant again with twins. Lady Frigga thinks one is a girl because I am craving sweet stuff but I also am craving junk food.

If both babies are boys. I think Loki wants to keep going till we have a girl. I don't think my body can take any more pregnancies. Maybe I should get Loki to carry a baby. Make the Midgardian myths come true.

I did get to see where the Norse myths started. He took me to the village in Norway where we found out that they had erected a statue of a horse with his helmet. Loki hid his face most of the day.

Thor (Or uncle Sparkles as he is known to Elijah and Evior) and Sif got married the year after Elijah was born. It was at sunset. It was so beautiful. Swear down, The after-party went on for about a week and I really don't remember most of it. Sif is currently expecting their fourth child. They currently have 2 sons and a daughter. Havi, Navi and Randvi. No, they are not triplets. The boys are twins and Randvi is only 3 weeks old. Lord Odin was overwhelmed when Thor named one of the boys Havi. It is one of his many names.

Lord Fandral is still the same as he was all those years ago. Chasing every skirt and ass he can. He has tried many many times over the years to get with Natasha but gave up in the end when she roundhouse-kicked him out a window. If I squint hard enough, I can still the dent in the concrete.

Lord Volstagg is dating someone. he won't tell us who but as far as I can tell he is happy.

Lord Hogun is still doing whatever he does. I couldn't tell you if he had a girlfriend or a boyfriend. But you not what they say, The quiet ones are the worse.

Every 3 months, Loki and I go to Midgard and yes we take the kids. Pietro takes great joy in running them through the city. Tony spoils them (He has another little girl now. Maya). We quite often schedule play dates whenever I am in the city.

Bucky is working with S.H.I.E.L.D now. Training the new recruits. Steve too. Bucky is now known to the kids as pops and Steve is uncle popsicle (Thanks Tony). Bucky is also dating Sam's sister. Much to bird brain's delight.

I haven't heard about Rhodes in a while. I think Tony said that Rhodes retired or something. Sam is in training to take over from Rogers at some point.

Clint is still wary of Loki but considering how they used to be. I think they make pretty good friends. Clint introduce us to a game on Midgard called Mariocart. Elijah and Evior both play it with Loki and Clint and safe to say, My boys, are better gamers.

Natasha is still the same. She was reunited with her sister and adoptive parents. Oh, I heard Clint has got a son now. 2 girls and 2 boys. I hope he is happy.

Banner is doing well. He and Hulk have a better understanding of each other. They prefer to work together instead of hating each other. I think Banner now works with Stark. I ain't sure about this. Thor doesn't explain things properly.

Wanda and Vision only had 2 boys. They claimed it was enough for them (I wish I had stopped at two) They now live on the outskirts of New York. Pietro lives at the bottom of their garden. He helps out at shield as well as this school for people with powers.

Peter, The man of Spiders is still saving the city and is now at college. Whatever college is. Thor tried explaining the school system of Midgard but once he said that every country is different. I lost interest quickly after that.

As for Elena, She left the dungeons after she found out that I was expecting my first boy. She tried to worm her way back into my life but after she got rejected again, She tried to stab me. Only she forgot who my husband was and got stabbed herself. Of course, She didn't make it out alive but truth be told. I wasn't bothered by her death. Killing her was mercy.

Lord Odin is still the ruler of Asgard. And still afraid of Lady Frigga. Both are besotted with their grandchildren. Though, Lord Odin's mind is going. I can tell Lady Frigga is worried about her husband but like Loki, She will never show you to your face. But it means she has less time to do her paperwork so Loki and I said we will do it.

"I hate paperwork" Loki grumbled as he twirled the pen in his fingers "When I took this job, No one warned me about the sheer amount of paperwork!"
"Liar" I smiled as bean 1 booted my right and bean two booted my left "This is nothing to what I used to do with the maids"
"Amelia, Will you help me do this paperwork. You two know the ins and outs of this better than I do. Help me!" Loki pleaded.
"What's in for us?" I stared at Loki.
"Us?"
"Me and the jellybeans"
"I will be your slave for a week?" Loki sighed.
"Is it worth it?" I tilted my head towards Loki. Tapping my chin.
"For a month?" Loki did the prayer sign. I looked over my glasses at Loki "2 months" Loki folded his arms. Loki ran his hands down his face.
"3 months" I stared at my man as I held up two fingers. Then he nodded and I sat down at the desk. I held my hand out for the pen and paper. I fist-bumped my belly "Teamwork babies" This made Loki laugh loudly.
"Thank you" Loki breathed. I leaned back in the chair.
"This is the last time I do your paperwork" I pointed the pen at Loki.
"You have been saying that for the last 6 years" Loki stapled a stack of papers.

It was 3 hours later. Loki was sleeping on top of the papers so I threw the pen down and strolled over to a large window and stared out towards the horizon. I still couldn't get over the view from this place. I spotted Thor in the courtyard, Training with Elijah and Evior. Both attacked him with fireballs. Thor was flung backwards and landed in a pool of water. Smoking as he climbs up to his knees.
"Ha. That's my boys" I laughed loudly. Loki snorted and his head shot up.
"I wasn't sleeping" He yawned. I rolled my eyes "How are you doing?" Loki stood next to me. Kissing my cheek, Then my bump "Oof" He rubbed his nose.
"Booted again?" I chuckled. I put my hand on my belly and it got booted away. I then felt a lot of movement. I frowned.
"You okay darling?"
"The beans are fighting" Not going to lie. This hurt more than labour.

A few weeks later, It was now night time and I flopped onto my bed. I was exhausted. We were babysitting Thor's midgets as he and Sif had a date night.
"Tired sweetheart?" Loki spoke as he sat next to me, His fingers running through my hair "All the kids are asleep"
"I like that" I smiled as I closed my eyes.
"I know. I have been with you for nearly 10 years now. I should know what you like" Loki smiled as he moved his head closer to my bump.
"10 years? My God. How have you not killed me?" I laughed as Loki propped himself up on his elbows.
"I have no idea" Loki's hand running over my bump "More like how haven't you burnt me to a crisp?"
"Do I really need to answer that?" I tilted my head.
"I guess not. We should get to sleep while we can. This baby is due any day" Loki grinned as he snuggled down next to me.

The next day, We walked to the training courtyard where the boys were. Elijah was practising throwing fireballs and Evior was spinning a sword around when a Lord of the realm Nidavellir, walked up to him.
"Now this ain't very Prince-like is it?" The Dwarf Lord spoke. Evior stopped in his tracks. Looks at the Dwarf and gets into a fighting stance, Pointing his sword at the Lord.
"Suck my ass," He says with the most serious look on his face. Loki burst into laughter. As did Thor. The Dwarf Lord's mouth flopped open as Evior smiled at him.
"Your manners are atrocious" The Dwarf Lord huffed.
"Bit like your hair" Elijah stood behind his brother.
"Who are you?" The dwarf asked.
"His brother"
"Is there any way we can get rid of him?" Evior asked Elijah.
"Not without cause" Elijah scratched his chin.
"I have cause! it's because I don't like him" Evior pointed at the dwarf. The Dwarf huffed again as he turned on his heel. Evior waved bye and continued to train.
"That is our boys" Loki whispered. I smiled proudly as I turned to my God.
"Are all your kids going to be this mischievous?" Loki smiled as he shrugged "And I am starting to think that maybe we should limit their time with Thor"
"Yes, I agree. I think old shorty over there is heading to Lady Frigga" I placed my hand over my bump. Loki smiled.
"Let him snitch. It's his word against all of us. Mother ain't going let him rant about her grandsons"
"That may well be true but let's try and handle things before stumpy throws a hissyfit" I started walking after the Dwarf. Loki is right behind me.
"If he does, We can stick a dummy in his mouth and make him go for a nap" Loki chuckled as I linked my arm through his.

The twins arrived a few weeks later, We named them Nero and Rune and they were Loki's doubles. Eyes and hair. Only they didn't have ice powers. But nor did they have fire powers. Nero can control the earth and Rune took after can control the weather.

Though I did fall pregnant quickly after the twins. A whole month after the twins and 9 months later, Loki and I welcomed another boy into the world. His name is Joric and he's my double. Though he inherited his father's Love Of Mischief and his powers of illusion.

I thought that would be it for babies but 8 years later, We finally had a baby girl and we named her Elsa. Tony took great delight in our choice of name. Elsa can control ice like her brother but doesn't turn blue but Loki and I didn't care. It's not like the cold bothered me anyway.

Loki and I spent many years together. (I had to eat the horrible fruit from Lady Frigga's garden) After 4000 years together in Asgard (I dread to think what age we are on Midgard), Loki passed away first. With me, Our children, our 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren by our bedside. A few dozen Nieces and Nephews as well. I cried, of course, thinking Loki would be on his own in Valhalla but little did I know that Loki wouldn't have long to wait as I passed away in my sleep the very same night.

I wandered through Vallhalla's hall. I was back looking like I did when Loki and I first met. I saw many faces of people that I called friends or family. Lord Odin had sorted it with The Valkeries that The Avengers would find peace in this realm as they helped protect Asgard (Many, Many times. Once or twice from me).

As I went to approach the table of my friends, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Spinning around, My face dropped. It was like I was looking in a mirror. The woman before me had the same curly hair, Only darker and her eyes were dimmer than mine.
"Mother?" I whimpered as the woman flung her arms around me. Squeezing me so tightly. I was in shock at first but I soon hid my face in her hair and wrapped my arms around her.
"Oh, my sweet girl" She cried. She pulled away and held my face "I have longed for this day. The day that I can hold you in my arms again"
"Mother," I whispered as my mother pulled me closer to her.
"I hope you know how proud I am of you. I love you so much. I wish I was there to hold your hand in life. Through the good times and the bad" Mother stroked my face and curled my hair around her fingers.
"But now in death, you can" I sobbed. My mother stroked my hair before pulling away. She used her fingers to wipe away my tears.
"My child, We have eternity for this" She whispered "I know there is someone else that you seek"
"How do you know this?" I smiled.
"I am your mother. I have watched over you for your whole life"
"Then you saw me make some very stupid mistakes"
"Only mistake I saw you make was fighting your father. You should have waited for backup" I looked away as mother said that "Even so, I was so proud when you kicked his ass"
"Mother, I did what I had to do when I fought him"
"Valkyries are known to be stubborn"
"I never took the role of Valkyrie. I thought it best to stay by Loki's side. Try and keep him out of trouble"
"Yeah, That worked out" mother smiled "What happened with that Dwarf Lord?"
"Loki used him as an armrest and threatened to stab him when he insulted me" I looked at the table.
"And then what did you do when the Dwarf went to hit Loki?"
"Try and roast him" I looked away, Face red with embarrassment.
"You two are just as bad as each other" Mother sighed, "I sense that you have many questions so please ask away"
"Mother, How did you end up having me?"
"What do you mean, Sweetie?"
"I got told that my DNA is deliberate production of genetically identical individuals -" Mother put her hand over my mouth.
"In Asgardian terms please" She sighed as I pulled away.
"I was told it was like someone had taken DNA from two very different people and mashed them together" I smacked my hands together "It's like I was created"
"You was. I was kidnapped. We were sent to Midgard to talk to someone called Nick Fury about protection. Thor had set it up and My team was ambushed. We were outnumbered. My sisters died while I alone survived"
"I am so sorry" I held my mother's hand.
"What do you have to be sorry for? You didn't start the fire" She smiled "I was hit with a dart and taken to this place in the snowy mountains. It was like a laboratory. I was chained to a table. I knew there was no way I could escape"
"Why didn't you call out for Heimdall?" I frowned.
"I tried but I don't think Heimdall heard me" I looked around the room for the man. He was sitting with Stark and Banner. I went to get up but Mother pulled me back down.
"Mother?"
"Don't be so impulsive. I have already spoken to him about it. He couldn't see me or hear me. Your father had cloaked us"
"I understand" I nodded as I shifted on my seat "So how did I become me?"
"According to the men that had taken me, Your father couldn't do the nasty with me as I would have died there and then, so they artificially inseminated you" Mother shivered "I don't understand how Surtur Jnr was on Midgard. You know this is going to sound horrible but I swore that I would have nothing to do with you as you were going to be a fire demon but as you grew inside me, I fell in love with you more and more. By the time I was a month away from having you, I swore I would do my best to protect you"
"So what happened to you? Lady Frigga told me that when they found you, you were thin, Bloody, battered and burned"
"Just before I went into labour with you, I knew I had to fight my way out. So as the guard brought me my lunch, I kicked him where it hurts and shoved his head into a wall" Mother smiled "I then ran out of the building. Alarms were going off. I just ran. I had got to the bottom of the mountain before your father found me. He grabbed me by the head, I kicked him in the shin and ran again. But he was so much taller than me. He caught up to me and grabbed me again. He smacked me around my face so that I fell to the floor, I landed on my side and went into labour. This made the bastard drag me back to the lab and they cut me open"
"Mother," I had tears in my eyes. Mother used her sleeve to wipe my face.
"When they finally pulled you free, you were this ugly little thing covered in blood but when they placed you on my chest, You looked up at me and I fell in love with you. They let me feed you and hold you for around half an hour before they snatched you from me. I tried to get up and fight them but your father burned me. From head to toe. Kept yelling that if I didn't back down. he would burn you too"
"I hate him" I growled. Mother smiled softly as she took my face in her hands.
"I do and I don't. He gave me you. The only good thing to come out of this"

We sat and talked for a while. Thor had come over and chatted. As did the Avengers. I had enjoyed spending time with them but my mind wandered. I searched the hall but I couldn't find him.
"He isn't here" Mother spoke. My headshot around back to see my mother's face smiling at me.
"I know. I've been looking" I sighed sadly "I am missing him so much. I would do anything to see him again"
"Then go find him. He is in this realm"
"Where?"
"Head that way, The God you seek is that way" Mother pointed to the horizon. To where the sea met the sky.
"Thank you mother" I hugged my mother again and ran towards where the sky met the sea.

At first, I couldn't find the face of the person I wanted to see the most. That was till I saw a tree with blossom on it. It was like the cave tree that Loki once showed me. And he was there underneath it. Standing away from me, Watching the setting sun, Tears of happiness flowed down my face as I ran towards it.
"LOKI!" I screamed. Loki spun around. His face was as young as the day we first met. He ran towards me, A smile plastered across his face.
"AMELIA!" He bellowed back. For you see. Time passes differently in the afterlife. Mere hours in our time will be decades here. We collided with each other and promised to never let each other go. After all, We did promise to be with each other on our wedding day.

Now and Forever.
