Her heart was ready to leave her body with how loud it thuds inside her chest. Her white dress flaws behind her as she walk through the Bifrost to welcome her remain family.
Her grandparents, Njord and Freya are the sweetest and kindhearted in the Nine Realms, after of course Frigga, but they despite her father with their heart.
They think that he is responsible for the death of their second daughter, the death of another child. Of course they said the same to Erik, as he failed to save his wife from the war, he didn't stopped her from coming with him.
They have lost two daughters and they blame their sons-in-law for their deaths.
Ragnar is the next Ruler of Vanaheim so they are quite protective over the young- not so much- man. He has grown up so much till the last time she saw him that when he passes the Great Gatekeeper Heimdall he didn't acknowledge him till he get her to his arms.
Her hands found their way around his neck as he spin them around laughing ''I missed you dear cousin'' he shout making the guards snicker from behind their helmets.
Ivanna smiles at her cousin words and kissed his cheek as he let her down carefully ''I missed you too Ragnar. I haven't seen you in years''
''Centuries actually'' her grandfather speak from behind them earning a bigger smile to her lips as she run towards to his open arms and hug him. She did the same to her grandmother.
''I missed you both so much.''
Freya smiles at her grandchild ''Ah, I missed you too my dear girl.''
Ragnar came to them and wrap an arm around his cousin's waist ''Let's go inside, I can't wait to see uncle Loki''
She watches as both Freya and Njord scrunch their faces at the mention of Loki making her heart beat a tad slower ''Grandfather, please don't-''
He raise his hand making her stop ''We will not argue with him. Don't worry dear.''
She nods her head and walk to the palace.
For their bad luck they came face to face with her father who was not on his best mood right now. Once he laid his eyes on his parents-in-law he huff with annoyance ''Well, well. Look who came to visit''
Before Njord could open his mouth Ivanna walk to her father and take his hands to her own ''Father please. They are here for a purpose, don't fight with them.''
Loki gaze right to her green eyes. Those eyes that are the same as his. Those eyes that he can't do anything but agree with everything she said as he can't see her crying.
Nodding his head he rubs his thumb over her knuckles 'Don't worry darling.' He speaks to her head for no one to listen.
She smiles at him and turn her gaze back to her grandparents who eyes were glued to her and Loki ''Grandmother, grandfather, Ragnar your chambers are ready. You can go rest and-''
''Oh my dear I am so sorry but we will not stay'' Freya cut her words off making her eyes go wide.
Ivanna glance from Ragnar to Njord to Freya to Loki and then back to Freya ''What- Grandmother why would you leave?''
Njord laughed at her flustered face and words and approaches his granddaughter, shoving aside the God of Lies earning a low growl from him ''We were never to stay dear. We came only to as an escort for Ragnar and to see you. We can't let the throne empty for too long.''
She nods her head as she understands why they can't stay ''When will you leave?''
''Right now actually. We must go back to Vanaheim'' answer Njord as he caress her granddaughter's cheeks ''Don't be sad my dear girl. We will see you soon.''
She nods her head and watch as they said their goodbyes to Ragnar, never glancing Loki as they walk back to the Bifrost.
Ragnar turn and glance his uncle ''I am so sorry uncle. They say the same things to father. I don't know why they-''
Loki shook his head ''Worry not Ragnar. They think that both I and Erik are the ones responsible for their daughters death. I believe one of the reasons my brother-in-law didn't came is that.''
The cousins glance at each other before walk besides Loki to the throne room for Ragnar to be welcome to Asgard by its King and Queen.
After getting comfortable to his chamber, Ragnar and Ivanna take a walk to the gardens. They speak for the time they lost as long as they were depart from one other the old times where they were inseparable.
Loki smile as he watches her daughter walking and talking with her cousin, catching up for the time they lost together.
He sighs lovingly at the thought of her late wife. Ivanna could be happy with siblings.
Before Sigyn died she told Loki that she was pregnant with a child. She wasn't even a month when the Elf plunge the sword to her heart and another to the stomach.
They had already lost another child too. Before Ivanna was born. Two boys, twins. They died a little after they were born but still Sigyn wanted to name them. Narfi and Vali they named them. Their names are written to the trees right besides where their buried bodies are. He never told Ivanna that. He doesn't want to plunge his sadness to his daughter's heart.
He shook out from his thoughts. He must never saw weakness. Not again. This is what killed Sigyn.
He must get ready for the coronation. He has big plans for his brother.
