Alone and Pregnant | Loki

Chapter 4

One year later...

"Happy birthday, Finn!" My family and I exclaimed and he smiled, grabbing his cake and eating it. I actually made a birthday cake for him as I want him to know Midgardian traditions as well as Asgardian. He has grown a lot and looks so much like a 2 year old, rather than a 1 year old. Or at least, I think so. I opened his presents for him and he got new clothes and toys.

"Wow, Finn. You sure got a lot of cool things! What do you say?" I smiled to him. He smiled back, walking to Mother and Odin and hugged them. Then he hugged Thor. His walking has been improving a lot. When he first did so, he walked to me and squealed.

"Mother?" He grinned.

"Yes?" I answered.

"Cake?" He asked with a cheesy grin.

"Sure." I smiled, cutting a piece for myself. He took that piece and grabbed it.

"Mine!" He shouted.

"Okay then." I allowed it this once. That's another thing about Finn.

He's very sassy for what he wants, just like me. I've noticed that a lot especially when he was 6 months old. According to Thor, he's also a drama queen like me as well. Which is funny to him but not to me. Later that day, I was laying in bed, crying. I've been doing a lot of that lately due to the fact that being a single parent is so difficult.

"Loki, are you awake?" Mother said as she opened the door. "What's wrong?" She asked, sitting next to me.

"I can't do this anymore. My life is falling apart and I can't do anything about it." I sobbed.

"Loki, it's going to be okay." She assured me.

"You keep saying that and it's not!" I sobbed harder, hugging her. I cried all night, wishing everything would be good again. But it's not. It's all my fault for pushing Mobius away and hiding this pregnancy from him. I feel so horrible right now. Way worse than I ever felt in years. I quietly left my room and heard Mother talking to Odin downstairs.

"He's all alone is what he told me. He feels like everything won't be the same and I want him to know that everything will get better, but he insists on knowing it's not true." She told him.

"Frigga, my dear, we have to make sure Loki doesn't hurt himself. That's the last thing in our minds and it would break our hearts to see him like this. What if Finn ends up in an orphanage in Midgard? We can't allow this to happen as well." He explained.

I went back upstairs and cried some more there. Thor sat next to me and held my hand, hugging my arm. I cried some more on his lap and heard small footsteps. It was Finn and he was holding his teddy bear and hugged me.

"Mother, please don't cry." He said in complete sentences. I couldn't believe what I just heard. Either it was an illusion or I'm going crazy. I looked at him and hugged him tearfully.

"My son, I'm so sorry you have to see me like this. I love you and I'll do my best to protect you and give you everything." I sobbed. His smile grew bigger and I cried some more. Few days have passed by and I have been teaching Finn a lot of things too. Even how to bake sugar cookies because I've never done so, but I figured it would be great to try.

"Now what, Mother?" Finn asked.

"We add as many sprinkles as we can." I smiled and he grabbed the shaker and sprinkled it onto the dough.

"It's like magic!" He exclaimed and laughed.

"Yup! With real magic, you can get anything brought to you like that or anything else you wish. Isn't that cool?" I smiled.

"Yeah!!!" He exclaimed. I checked the recipe book and it said to add the cookies in the oven for a certain amount of minutes and I placed it there as being said.

"Now, we wait." I told Finn excitedly. He was feeling the same way and we went to take a walk for a bit. Everyone in Asgard were so happy to see such a handsome boy Finn really is. Some people have commented saying he looks like me, while others say he looks like his father. We walked around some more and I got Finn out of his stroller and held him next to me.

"Mother, who's my Father?" He asked.

"I am." I told him, knowing it's right for him to know the truth. Sort of.

"You're my Mother. Who is my real father?" He insisted on knowing. I didn't tell him but assured him that he has all the time to know when he's older. He accepted it and I simply allowed that.

Few years later...

Finn has grown a lot and is currently 6 years old. He's very intelligent for his age and has been reading lots of books, especially Shakespeare. He adores his writing and I laughed to myself, knowing I love his books too. Things have been getting better for me personally as I've been in therapy and how to deal with being a single parent. I've learned a lot and met amazing people during my sessions, as in group therapy.

I went to get Finn from school and he was happy to see me. Today was his first day and while he was excited, he was also sad that he has to leave me. I told him that I'll be waiting for him and he smiled afterwards. When I dropped him off, he began crying for me, saying he wants me there with him. That day, he was drawing a lot too. Mother was there with him, watching him draw.

"What are you drawing there, Finn?" She asked.

"A card for Mother. She's going to love it!" He smiled proudly. I peaked at the drawing and knew instantly it was one with me, him and a man. I chuckled to myself, knowing he really wants to know who Mobius is.

"Finn, since you're now a big boy, it's time for you to learn magic." Mother told him.

"Yay!!!" He grinned and clapped his hands. I sat next to them and taught him how to do so. He was fascinated with it and tried to do so. He didn't successfully do so well but tried again and again, until he did it.

"I did it!" He jumped around and ran like crazy. Odin and Thor were surprised to hear him running and jumping as they thought the palace was shaking.
"Uncle Thor, Grandad, look! I can do magic now!" Finn exclaimed, showing them.

"Oh my gods, you definitely did so." Odin raised an eyebrow, surprised to see that.

"Mother taught me how to do magic!" He told him and Thor.

"That's awesome, kid!" He high five'd him. Finn screamed the loudest he's ever let out and I smiled to myself.
