Can a God, truly be redeemed?

Chapter 41

"I understand completely, daughter. So it brings me great joy to announce that you and my son are having a precious little princess!" Frigga smiles with joy.

You squeal with excitement at the promise of a sweet little girl coming to fill you and Loki's lives. Loki's face breaks into an enormous grin beside you as he leans forward and presses his lips to yours in a deep kiss.

"Another perfect princess for Asgard, my beloved. Thank you for blessing me with a daughter who will be as beautiful and captivating as her mother I'm sure" he whispers into your ear.

"I hope she looks just like her father" you smile back at him, imagining a dark head of raven curls and bright green eyes on a sweet chubby pale face.

"I know she will be a perfect blend of both her parents" Frigga moves to the side to place a quick kiss on your cheek, as she moves to Loki and embraces him.

"I HAVE A NIECE!!! I SHALL TRAIN HER TO BE A VALKYRIE WARRIOR! THE FIERCEST OF ALL PRINCESSES! SHE WILL BE GLORIOUS!" Thor shouts in his excitement as his thoughts begin to run wild.

"You will do no such thing, you barbarian oaf! She is MY daughter, and shall be trained by me in all ways! Magic and fighting alike! She will be MUCH smarter than you at strategy and battle, I will make sure of it." Loki huffs at his brother's outlandish ideas.

"Boys! How about we just concentrate on one thing at a time, ok! She isn't even born yet, and you both already are trying to decide her future. Her future will be whatever she chooses to make of it whether it be warrior or scholar. I don't care for the idea of thinking my daughter's life will be on the line constantly fighting unknown battles, so please let's just take it day by day ok." You give both Loki and Thor your no nonsense stare, making them hush up immediately.

Queen Frigga laughs as she smiles at her children, and their eagerness, loving how you step in to control both her sons' wild sides and bickering. You were the addition to the family they always needed, as the Queen was quite tired of being the sensible one in her family of men. Between her stubborn husband and equally stubborn sons, she had quite the full time job of it.

"Your wife is absolutely correct, my son. Your daughter is destined for many great things, as I've seen. She will grow to become quite a legend herself, paving her own path in life as she will be guided by not just her parents, but her entire family as well. For now we can just be excited for the arrival of my precious granddaughter, and should go share the news with your father." Frigga offers her hand to help you sit up and hop down from the bed, weaving her arm with yours once more.

"Do we all have too? Can't you just tell him when you see him?" Loki pouts as he walks behind you both, not eager to be in his father's presence once more. Remembering the last time he was, he was being sentenced to his time on Midgard for his punishment.

"All will be will, brother. Father has changed quite a lot since your last time home. He is very proud of all your accomplishments and efforts on Midgard. He is eager to meet the woman who the Norns fated to be tied to you in all ways. He calls your beloved, your redemption. I know everything will be grand." Thor claps Loki on the back, encouraging his brother to be happy.

"Loki dear, everything will be fine. Do you doubt your mother?" Frigga pauses her walking to the throne as she turns to give Loki her utmost mom stare.

"No, Mother. I trust your judgment. Forgive me. It's just my past does have a way of always coming back to me despite my working to keep it there. I too wish for a fresh slate, as they say."

"If your Mother isn't worried, my love, then we shouldn't be either. I'm sure by now she has a handle on her kingly husband" you giggle as Frigga looks at you smiling as she nods.
