Dark Fire

Chapter 7: Home Sweet Home

It's been a few weeks here on Asgard. I've been visiting the Healers to check up on the baby. I'm very excited. I'm probably 17 weeks. The Healers said that by the time it is week 36 is when the baby will be born. And I actually already now the gender. Steve will be so happy to know that it's what he wanted. A girl. I've visited Heimdall to ask how Steve was doing constantly. He would assure me that I'd be going back soon. Steve was okay. So were the others. I was happy for that. I stopped practicing my powers because Loki said it could harm the baby. I'd spend time reading in the library or watching Thor and the others train. Or I'd be in my chambers sleeping or eating food. I missed Earth. I missed Steve so much. Heimdall would explain the whole battle to me. I wanted to hurt Tony for everything he did or said. Tony always let's his mouth get ahead of his mind. I get so mad at times.
I flipped through another page of the book I was reading. It was an Asgardian fairytale that my mother use to read to me. It was about a Princess who was courted by three men. The three men loved her so she decided to see which one was the right one for her. She asked them what color her eyes were and two answered brown. The third answered green and became the Princess's husband. Mother use to tell me that the message in the story was to pay attention to little details. There was a knock on my chamber door so I marked my spot where I left off and closed the book.
"Come in" I said. The door opened and Thor walked into the room. I set the book down and stood up from the bed.
"Good afternoon, Alena" Thor said with a kind smile. I hummed in response before looking through the bowl of food he had brought for me. I popped a grape into my mouth and smile.
"How is my niece?" He asked.
"Perfect" I mumbled as I stuffed my face with grapes and other fruits like strawberries and raspberries.
"Have you decided a Asgardian name or Midgardian name?" He asked.
"I'll ask Steve about it. I'm thinking a Midgardian name" I said, "maybe Angel. Or Ellie."
Thor chuckled as I rambled on about my favorite names for a girl from earth. I couldn't help but puzzle myself on the decision. I'll ask Steve about it when I get back to earth. Heimdall said I'll be able to go back in two days. It excited me at the thought of getting back to Earth and living with Steve. I actually was wearing my Midgardian clothes. They were more comfortable than the dresses I normally wore. I was wearing one of Steve's sweaters and a pair of sweatpants. I know it's something different than I normally use to but it's soooooooo comfy, soft and large.
"Well I bet Mr Rogers is excited when you go back" Thor said as I waddled over to the balcony.
"I can't wait to see him. Soon but not yet" I said, "what about Grace? Or Callie?" Thor chuckled again at my sudden question.
"I'm sure Steve would love to hear your ideas for a name" Thor said.
"Yeah I can't wait" I said.
"Well I have a surprise" he said.
"You know I love surprises!" I said with happiness.
"You get to go back a little early if you would like too" Thor said.
"Wait! Really?!" I asked with excitement.
"Yes. Heimdall told me to come fetch you" Thor said as I followed him.
"Yay! I'm soooo excited!" I said as we climbed onto the horses. We rode toward the Bifrost. The wind around us blew our hair around as we rode down the bridge. This only made me even more excited about leaving. Once we arrived Thor helped me down from my horse. I walked into the golden room and saw Odin/ Loki standing next to Heimdall.
"Be careful, Alena. Something is coming" Heimdall warned me.
"It is better that you leave now due to problems that are being created here in Asgard" Odin/ Loki said.
"Yes father" I said as Heimdall lowered his sword into the controls and the light swirled around slowly bringing me into the Bifrost. I hope the baby won't be harmed by using the Bifrost. I never really thought about it but Loki told me that mother used the Bifrost when she was pregnant with me and I turned out okay, right? A smile spread across my face as I got closer to earth. My second home. I landed on the ground and looked around at my surroundings. Brooklyn, New York. I smiled widely before walking over to mine and Steve's apartment building. I walked upstairs and saw Rosa. Rosa lived a floor below us.
"Good evening, Rosa" I said smiling.
"Good evening, Alena" Rosa said as I continued to walk up the stairs. I saw the apartment door and I smiled even larger. I knocked on the door and waited quietly. I heard someone walking around inside and I knew who it was. The knob turned and the door opened.
"Steve" I said staring at him.
"Alena" he said with the biggest smile before pulling me inside and slamming the door.
"I've missed you so much" I said.
"How much?" He asked as we sat down on the couch.
"A lot. And I have news!" I said.
"What is the news?" He asked as I laid down and put my feet in his lap with a smile across my face.
"It's a girl" I said.
"Really?!" Steve asked with excitement.
"Yeah. I was trying to come up with names for the baby but I guess we'll decide together" I said.
"I'll agree to that" he said as I heard a door open and I turned to see Sam and Bucky.
"Alena!" Sam said dropping whatever was in his hands and came running over. He hugged me gently then he pulled away from the hug and looked at my bump, "look at you!"
"I know I'm fat!" I said.
"Hey Alena" Bucky said smiling.
"Hey. Listen I'm sorry about burning you t-"
"It's fine" Bucky assured.
"IT'S A GIRL!!!" Steve yelled unable to keep in his excitement. I'm so excited to be home.

I feel like I'm rushing things in this book. If I'm rushing things you can tell me that I am. I don't know if I want to skip ahead to a few more weeks later in the next chapter and then the chapter after that will be when the baby is born. And I really can't decide on a name. Can you give me suggestions for names that would be perfect for the baby?~ Kenlee Faith❤️❤️
