Rebirth (Completed)

The Reunion

Serena slowly pulled away from Loki and frowned slightly because in her mind she saw him casting Anika and the unborn child away without saying the three words back. Why did it bother her so much and what was this new feeling of desire towards him? She struggled out of his embrace and began pacing trying to piece her dreams together.

"What's wrong?" the fallen prince asked her in a soft and gentle voice.

Placing a finger against his lips, she quieted him. "Hush, I am thinking," she demanded and then continued her pondering.

Suddenly it all seemed to click in and she gasped in shocked when some discarded memories came flooding back. Tears pricked in her eyes and she screamed in pain making the trickster jumped in surprised.

"OH MY GOSH!" she shouted and grabbed a hold of his jacket, "I remember. I remember everything." Serena looked into his emerald green eyes and whispered, "That girl who I dreamed about is me. That was my life."

Loki grins and lifts her up into his embrace, her whole body stiffened when she felt his lips against her head. "My beloved," he exclaimed twirling her around, "you finally remember."

"You love me?" Serena asked in a tiny whisper and he nodded, "But I thought you didn't. Why the hell did you ignore for two whole years?!?"

She was angry now with him. "How could you?" Tears were now flowing down her cheeks and she didn't bother to wipe them away. All she could think about was the day he rejected her and how in her misery she lost her baby. "Why?" that came out more as a whisper again.

Loki watched his love in agony realizes that it was his fault that she left Asgard and given up her memories. He was there when he heard her request to the All-Father and it broke his heart when he heard her say that she lost the baby. Yes he knew that she was pregnant with his child but he pretended to not notice the small changes in her.

Truth is that he was afraid for he couldn't see himself raising a child without harming him or her. And yes he loved Anika but again fear drove him to hide behind a blank face of not caring. Now with Serena crying in his arms fear was beginning to rise within him again and he fought the urge not to ignore her questions.

"I was scared, Serena," he whispered truthfully, "I wasn't ready to become a father or husband. I was afraid I might hurt you so I thought that keeping you away would be best. I didn't realize the pain I caused you until that day you vowed to forget everything."

He sighed and lowered her back onto the wet grass still holding her against his chest. "When you declared your love for me, my heart leap with joy and I wanted to confess my love for you as well. It scared me that just by being in your presence could have such a strong effect on me and I confused love with weakness," he paused and kissed her hair while breathing in her scent, "I couldn't have you hanging around intoxicating me with your eyes full of love so I begin to build walls of stone around my heart and told myself that it was all a lie. I was selfish and foolishly to let you leave Asgard without you knowing my true feelings for you."

"What made you come back for me?" his beloved whispered softly as she turned her head to face him.

Loki sighed before replying, "Your face and voice kept haunting my dreams and I knew that I truly was in love with you. I couldn't ignore my feelings forever so many years later I found myself searching for you. Now I have finally found you and I am not letting you go."

He heard her tiny gasps and felt her arms wrap themselves around his waist. Instantly he hugs her back whispering sweet words of love into her ear which brought a smile to her lovely face. "Serena, my Serena, can you ever forgive this blind fool?"

Her laughter reminded Loki of bells ringing and smiled when he heard that musical sound coming from her. "Of course, my prince," she whispered, "I forgive you." That promise was sealed with a kiss and he beamed before kissing her back with much passion.

Serena felt as if she could fly for Loki's kisses made her shoot for the stars and forget that she was even on planet Midgard. Oh how she had missed him even though there was no memory of him she always knew that something in her life was missing. This is a dream come true and she couldn't be happier, but Loki proved her wrong.

Once they pulled away, Loki got down on one knee and smiled at her. 'Oh my gosh, is he going to propose to me?'

She gasps in awe when she saw him reached into his pocket and withdrew a beautiful silver ring with a blue gem in shaped of a rose. Her heart sang and she almost swooned.

"Serena, my love, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

"Yes," she cried, "Of course I would marry you."

Loki slid the ring onto her finger and then stood back up onto his feet before leaning his head down for another passionate kiss which she answered back. Tears of joy sprang into her eyes and she wept. She sighed happily when she felt his lips kiss away each tear.

Today was definitely a beautiful day and she wanted nothing to spoil it. Unfortunately for her fate had some plans of its own and her happiness would soon dissolve away.
