Rhea Ripley X OC [(DISCONTINUED)]

Chapter 106

Two and half weeks passed by in a flash and I was now waiting at the doctors office for my 14 week check-up, well just over 14 weeks because Dr. Fisher had to push my appointment back a couple of days. Tyra was back at school, Demi had to work today so Tyson drove me and wanted to stay with me.

I was eventually called in and he followed me to the examination room. I lay on the table with Tyson stood next to me and Dr. Fisher entered a few moments later, "Hello Payton, you're looking a lot better than the last time I saw you. How are you feeling?" she asked. "I'm feeling a lot better now, thank you." I answered with a smile. I introduced her to Tyson and explained who he was before she began the ultrasound.

After applying the cold gel and gliding the wand over my small baby bump, a slight smile appeared on her face, "Well Payton, it seems your little ones development is progressing well so I think we can now stop the bi-weekly check-ups." she says after measuring and what not. She presses soem more buttons and turns the screen for us all to see...

Another button is pressed and my babies heartbeat fills the room. The doctor does a few more checks before she removes the wand, wipes off the gel and prints off some pictures; allowing me to sit up and readjust my clothing. She asks me a few more questions then Tyson and I leave, with him driving us home.

When we arrive, Tyson helps me by carrying my things as we walk inside. I tell him I'm going up to shower and he nods in acknowledgement before walking to the living room. Steadily, I make my way upstairs and into mine and Demi's room. I pick out some comfy clothes and lay them out on the bed, then enter the bathroom and turn on the shower. As I wait, I strip off my clothes and let my hair down; brushing it out quickly.

Once the room starts to fill with steam, I step into the shower. I stand under the warm water and let it run over me, soothing my tired muscles. I take my time to wash my hair and my body, shaving wherever needed and placing my hands on the shower wall; leaning under the water again. All of a sudden, I feel a presence appear in the room but I don't react.

I already know who it is.

"Loki, what are you doing here?" I ask, a little annoyed that I couldn't shower in peace. Although I was expecting him to show eventually. He chuckles, "My dear Payton, I thought you'd be happy to see me." he replies and I could heard the smirk in his voice. I scoff, "Oh yeah, of course." I spat sarcastically. "Why are you here?" I ask again, more firmly this time. He sighs deeply, "Okay, fine... I need your help." he says slowly; sounding somewhat nervous. I chuckle lowly and turn off the water, "Why?" was my reply as I stepped out. He hands me a towel and I wrap it around myself, "It's... Complicated." Loki tells me; looking down at the floor.

I dry off and wrap my hair up in another towel, "How? Why is it complicated? Because as far as I'm concerned, you sent a group of ill-prepared chumps to my door to try and I say try very loosely, to take someone I care for deeply; scaring my daughter half to death in the process. So please, explain what is so fucking complicated that you couldn't come to me directly in the GODDAMN FIRST PLACE!!" my anger was gradually rising along with the volume of my voice.

Loki just stands there still looking at the floor not saying anything, I roll my eyes and exit the bathroom with him hesitantly following behind. I pulled on some clean underwear and changed into the clothes I put out on the bed, putting the towels in the laundry hamper before sitting down at the vanity to dry my hair properly. It takes about 10 minutes to blowdry and brush my hair, I then throw it up into a messy bun to keep it out of my face.

I turn back to Loki to see him perched on the edge of the bed, looking conflicted as he stares at the floor. I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose as I take a breath, "Tell me Loki, what has happened that you have to come ask me for help?" I ask a little calmer now. He swallowed the lump in his throat and took a deep breathe, "First off, I want to apologize for going about this all wrong but I'm glad Tyson joined your pack. I didn't want to send him with those fools but that siren insisted so I agreed. Second, Asgard is in trouble. We need the strength and power that Fenrir, Sköll and Hati possess, everyone agrees but Odin is... Well Odin and he refuses to see the severity of the threat. Even mother can't seem to convince him, we have all tried so I thought and sort of hoped you'd give it a try." he explains.

"What is this threat you speak of?" I ask and move to sit down next to him. "Shadow Assassins from who knows where, a faction of Frost Giants from Jotunheim, an army of Dark Elves from Svartalfheim and Fire Giants from Muspelheim." Loki says then huffs, "How can Odin not see that we need them and..." He says as he paces the room but stops himself. "And what Loki?" I ask but all he does is look at me for a short while. Finally, he says...

"You."
