His New Wife

༺ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕋𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕖 ༻

"Please Ms. Johansen...call me Tord."

    Agnes talks happily with her daughter and future son-in-law, having accepted Tord's offer to move to Oslo. "Oh the twins will love the idea...especially when they find out the big news." Mona giggles as Tord looks at them in confusion. "What do you mean?" Mona smiles at him, leaning against his shoulder. "Well, I had a pretty big crush on you when I was younger. Because I would watch your speeches all the time, Kristoffer and Leif would watch them with me. They didn't have much interest...until they watched a small documentary where they toured the base. They went crazy, saying they wanted to be like you when they got old enough. So when they find out that the great Red Leader will be marrying their sister..." Tord felt oddly touched by the story, feeling himself smile like an idiot. "Really? They want to be like me?" Mona nods and Tord looks at Patryk and Paul, who give him a smile and a thumbs up. The hiss of a bus's brakes are heard and Agnes stands. "Speak of the devil, that must be them. Oh they'll be so excited!" She cheers, going to meet her sons. "I promise you'll love the twins...they're sweethearts." Mona stands as well, going with her mother to the bus stop. Tord looks at his men, smiling wide. "How did I get so lucky?" Paul lets out a breathy laugh, looking at Patryk. "I guess kidnapping does work." Patryk smacks his chest. "That's not funny."

   Outside, Mona stands with her mother as the bus approaches their cottage. "I'm so excited to see them again...it kind of feels like Christmas!" Mona giggles, Agnes petting her daughter softly as the bus stops in front of them. Before it stops good, Kristoffer and Leif run off, right into Mona's arms. "Mona Mona, you're back!" "We thought you were gone forever!" They wail, holding onto their older sister for dear life. Mona chuckles, holding her brothers to her. "I know...I'm sorry for scaring you both...but me and mother have some wonderful news...come inside so I can make you two some lunch, yes?"

    When the twins see Tord inside their home, their faces show a mix between excitement and fear. Mona gently nudges them to her fiancé, smiling softly. "Go on boys, he won't bite. Besides, he and mother want to talk to you." She makes her way into the kitchen as Kristoffer and Leif stare at Tord before hurrying to their mother. Tord looks at the twins with a tad bit of guilt, then perks up. He carefully takes off his overcoat, taking off some pins before holding it out to them. "I really need to talk to you two...maybe letting you wear this will help you listen?" The twins look at each other before Leif leans forward and takes the coat, wrapping it around himself and Kristoffer. "...We're listening." Tord chuckles softly and props his elbows on his knees. "That's good. Because this news is very big. Your mother and your sister know about it already." Kristoffer looks back at his mother, who nods softly. Once he has their attention once again, Tord continues. "It's a bunch of things, actually. But I'll start with the most exciting news first." He smiles. "I'm going to be marrying your sister. That means I'll be your big brother soon." The twins stare at the leader with wide eyes. "No way..." "No joking?" Tord shakes his head and in an instant, the twins were hugging him and giggling. "Big brother, big brother!" They squeal in unison. "Boys, lunch!" Mona calls and Tord winks at them. "We'll talk more over lunch."

   "So, boys, as Tord was saying, he's going to be marrying Mona. But there's more." "There is?!" Leif gasps and Agnes nods. "Yes...Tord, would you like to explain?" Tord nods, smiling at the twins. "You and your mother are going to be moving to Oslo. You'll be going to the best school the city can offer, and you'll be close to my base. You will only be a phone call away from Mona." The twins bounce in their seats excitedly. "Didya' hear that, Leif?! We're gonna see the city!" "I know! I'm so excited!" Mona comes up behind Tord, gently placing her hands on his shoulders. "I've finished packing the most important things...the rest can be moved with mama and the boys." Tord puts his hand on top of Mona's, smiling. "Alright darling, I'll let them know." She nods, gently kissing Tord's forehead. The twins get up, hurrying to Mona. "You're leaving already?" "That's not fair!" Mona chuckles softly and holds her brothers. "I know, but you'll be in Oslo soon. Then you'll be able to see me every day if you'd like!" "Promise?" "Promise."

    Mona walks with Tord down the halls of the base, humming as they do so. After her goodbyes to her family, they returned to Oslo so Tord could continue his army leader duties. Mona lets out a loud yawn, Tord looking at his fiancée. "I'm going to go to bed, love. I'm getting tired. I think the trip to and from Lillehammer wore me out." Tord smiles, placing a soft kiss on Mona's temple. "You go rest, dear. I'll join you once I'm done. Sound good?" She nods, smiling at Tord before making her way with Patryk and Paul to Tord's room. The leader sighs lovingly, watching Mona walk away. "I feel like the luckiest man on Earth." He mutters before continuing down the hall.

"Thank you two for walking me down here. You didn't have to." Patryk smiles at Mona, shaking his head. "No offense Mona, but yes we did. You're in no way prepared to defend yourself if something happened." Mona raises an eyebrow, placing a hand on her hip. "Are you saying I can't defend myself?" Patryk holds his hands up defensively, shaking his head. "Not at all...but you don't even have a weapon on you. Maybe I'll talk Tord into giving you one after making sure you know how to use it." Mona sighs, but doesn't argue. He has a point. "Either way, thank you for walking me to my room. And Paul, thank you for bringing my bags in here." The gruff male nods at Mona before they both salute and then wave as they leave. She giggles, looking over at her bags before choosing one to rummage through.

Two arms snake around her waist, causing Mona to shoot up straight in surprise. "You remind me of a frightened bunny, darling." Tord coos, making Mona groan softly. "You scared me shitless, Tord...don't do that." She shakes her head, then squeals in triumph when she pulls out her silk nightgown. "Finally! I've been looking for this!" Tord looks the gown up and down, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "You have, huh~?" Mona rolls her eyes and walks to the bathroom. "Keep that gutter clean, dritthode." Tord lets out a laugh and changes as well. Mona exits the bathroom, the gown only reaching halfway down her thighs. Tord turns his head from her quickly, getting comfortable in the bed before turning off his lamp and getting the television remote. Mona climbs in bed beside him, turning off her lamp as well. Hesitantly, Mona leans against Tord's bare chest. He holds her close, face lighting up. Soon, Mona speaks.

"Can we...?"
