ALTHEA✓AVENGERS

Chapter 56

"You're pregnant." Althea heard Dr Allison Cameron saying. She completely froze. She could see Dr Cameron saying something but she couldn't make anything out of it. She could feel Pepper pulling her in to a hug saying how happy she is for her but she didn't know what to think of it.

She wanted kids but after all that happened. She wasn't really sure. But now, when she's literally growing one, she didn't know. She was confused, worried and scared. Confused to how Steve and her are gonna raise a child together if they have to be on the run. Worried what kind of life her child would have. Scared whether she would be a good mother or not.

"Thea!" Pepper snapped her fingers at her which made her snap out of her daze. "Yeah?" She asked with a fake smile on her face. "You're 3 weeks pregnant. I'll prescribe some medicine, make sure you take it. And-" Dr Cameron started rambling about something which she didn't pay any attention to. "I need to leave." She stated and stood up from the examination table and ran out.

She took a deep breath once she was out of the clinic. "Shit!" She cussed out feeling incredibly stressed. She started walking fast so that Pepper wouldn't find her. Knowing Pepper, she would want her to talk about it but right now she didn't wanna talk about anything. She just wanted to disappear. Start a new life somewhere far.

Suddenly she bumped in to someone. She looked up to see a man in a cape and costume. He looked like some sort of wizard. "Sorry." She quickly apologized and took a step forward but he blocked her way which made her look up at him in confusion. "Dude, you just picked a worst day to do this!" She said in frustration which made him shot her a confused look.

Suddenly a circle appeared on the ground that she was standing. "What the fuck!" She cussed out as she dropped to the ground. The first thing she noticed was grass. She was surrounded by grass. She slowly got up to see. She was standing near a cliff. It looked beautiful out here. She was mesmerized. She took a deep breath. Taking all of it in.

She took a couple of steps forward and felt immediately at peace. "God, I should move here." She mumbled softly. All her worries just disappeared as she felt close to her elements. Living in the city. It was hard to feel this.

"I'm happy that you like it." She heard a familiar voice saying which made her eyes wide. She immediately turned around. "Father?" She asked in confusion. He just smiled at her. He wasn't in his usual armour. He was wearing human clothes.

Her father took a couple of steps forward till he reached her. He cupped her cheeks. "I could not leave without seeing you." He stated which confused her. "Leave? What are you doing here, father?" She asked him. She didn't understand why he was even here. Then it clicked on her mind.

"Loki." She realized and let out a sigh. He just smiled at her before stepping away. "You were always the smart one. Asking questions. Breaking rules." He said which made her smile. "I'm gonna kill him." She decided which made her father let out a chuckle. "It is fine, my dear. My time on earth have made me realize my mistakes." He said which surprised her.

He sat on a rock which made her to sit beside him. "Father, why are you speaking like that?" She asked him. She could feel her eyes pooling with tears. "Like what?" He asked her turning to look at her. A tear escaped from her eyes which made her father raise his hand wipe it away. "Like I'm never gonna see you again." She responded as more tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"You will see me again but not for a very long time." He stated which made her eyes wide knowing what he meant. "No. No. Father, no. Not you too. Father, please no. Please. Come with me, father. We would find a solution to whatever that is. Please father don't." She begged him. She could see that he was also on the verge of crying.

"Sadly, that is not a choice that I could make. You will be a wonderful mother, Arya." Her father said and took her hand in his. "You my dear are the best thing that ever happened to me. My only regret is that i didn't get to spend much time with you." He said which made her smile. "A thousand years is a very long time father." She responded.
