Now And Forever

Chapter 18

- Loki's Pov -

I watched as my love, Paul and Chris walk out of the room. Thalia gave me a thumbs up. Paul nodded and Chris grabbed a handful of crisps and shoved them in his mouth. Thalia rolled her eyes at him.
"I swear, All he does is eat. He always has food in his mouth" I chuckled as I turned back to Prudence, Walking slowly over to her "So what did you want to talk about" I stood at the end of Prudence's bed. Gripping the bottom headboard. I rocked back and forth on my feet.
"You and my granddaughter" Prudence sat up, Her shoulders pulled back and she had a look of death on her face. You would not think that 24 hours ago she had a heart attack. I was going to hate this but I knew it would be important to Thalia to do this. Her Nanna means the world to her.
"Straight to the point then?" I spoke. Prudence nodded "What about me and Thalia?" I folded my arms.
"I want to know your intentions with her" Prudence nodded. I didn't want to respond. Well, at least not in the way I had wanted to "Come on Loki. I know you. We have been friends for a while and you are a God after all. The God of Lies and Mischief to be frank"
"I am not like the stories you have heard. 99% are made up" I folded my arms "Mostly by my airhead brother"
"How did you get your title?"
"The first time Thor and I were on Earth, I put my helmet on a horse. I wanted to see how long it would take the town folk to figure out it was not me" I half-smiled.
"How long did it take them to figure it out?" Prudence quizzed.
"I never found out. I got bored after 5 months so I went home. Father was not happy that I messed with people's heads so after telling him it was a joke. He named me God Of Mischief and Lies" I smirked as I shrugged "Anything else?"
"So you don't have children that are either a horse, a wolf, a giant snake or half a skeleton?" Prudence folded her arms.
"God no. Fenrir is a dog that I adopted, He keeps growing because I was trying out a spell and he got in the way. Jörmungand is a snake that I craved into stone and using illusion magic, I kind of freaked my father out. as for Hela, She, is in fact, my sister" I pinched my nose.
"What about the 8-legged horsed? sleppinner?"
"You mean, Sleipnir. I might have accidentally created him. I was young and messing around with magic. I gifted him to my father and he is quite happily trotting around his field"
"So no bio kids. Just magic creations?"
"Correct" This was sort of true.
"So what are your intentions with my Tally" Prudence tilted her head. I then licked my lips and walked to the window.
"I'm crazy about her," I placed my head on the cool glass "Like real crazy. She is my first thought when I wake up to my last when I go to bed and even then, She doesn't leave my mind all day"
"What about Egypt?" Prudence fiddled with her necklace "You know she got her visa and will be leaving in a few months" I didn't think it was that soon. I thought I had loads of time.
"I will not stop her. And if she wishes it, I will go with her. If she doesn't then we will find a way to make long-distance work. If she still wants me"
"Loki, I just don't want to see her hurt. She gets enough crap from her folks"
"I know. I ain't thrilled about them. They should be here, Making sure that you are okay" I spun around "I ain't even family and I came"
"That's how they have always been. Just they wait till I actually kick the bucket. All my stuff will be going to Paul and Tally. Hell, I am even leaving Chris something. He's looked after me more than my own sons"
"Thalia is lucky to have you in her life" I walked over to the bed. Prudence patted the sheet. I was a little hesitant.
"Just sit down" She ordered. I did as I was told. For once "Loki, I want to make this clear. My Tally is not some toy you can play with when you are bored or horny. Or even when you are lonely. She is not a fantasy"
"I know. I don't see her like that. I do genuinely love her" I did. I loved Thalia for that simple reason. She is her own person. Powers aside.
"Even if she is your past love reincarnated?" I frowned as I stared at Prudence.
"What?" I stuttered.
"Oh come now. We both know you know who I am on about" Prudence looks down her nose at me. I nodded twice "Like Tally, I have powers. While it is only the one power, It is still strong"
"What can you do?" I licked my lips again.
"I can see into the future" Prudence smiled.
"I see. What did you see?" I wasn't sure if I was going to like this.
"The place you grew up in. Asgard. By the way, beautiful world" Prudence patted my forearm.
"What else?"
"A lot of sand. There was also a rainbow. It shot down from the sky"
"That might be the Bifrost. It allows me and my brother to go to and from home" I looked at the floor. I wouldn't be able to take Thalia home. Father would hate her. He tolerated Sigyn because she could fight like a Valkyrie.
"Loki, There was also so something else, Something that I failed to mention to Tally" I titled my head "She had a baby in her arms when the rainbow came"
"A baby?" I choked on air. Prudence nodded. I wiggled my shirt around my neck. I was suddenly very dehydrated "It's the main reason I wanted to talk to you. Your brother, Thor was nowhere to be seen, Just you, Thalia and the little bundle"
"I need a drink of water" I shot up and went to the sink. Grabbing a cup, I down about 3 glasses. Prudence kept trying to talk to me but her voice sounded distant.
