Family (Prequel To: 13 Years Later)

Cuddles And Sleep

Raven POV

The kids had finally went into the living room. Tom walked in and saw the tiredness in my face. "You ok, sis?" Tom asked sitting beside me. I nodded and managed a fake smile. No I am not ok! My family is growing up and me and Tord are becoming more fragile! I sighed and layer my head down. "I can tell when my sister is not okay," Tom raised his eyebrows. "It's nothing personal," I sighed again. My head popped up at the sound of a car going into the driveway. "I'll get it!" Toriel said silently. She ran to the door and flung it open. "Mom! There's an Indian gentlemen here to see you!" Toriel shouted. A familiar voice said," The Indian gentlemen is Bryly and Edd." Me and Tom bursted out laughing. "Some Indian gentlemen!" Tom said sarcastically. "And Liam!" A small boy's voice sounded. Edd and Bryly walked into the kitchen while Toriel and Lauren bounded upstairs. "Hey Raven! Long time no see!" Bryly said sitting down on the other side. "Me and Edd are going to go try to get the paint off Raven's car," Tom stated. "Go ahead and take my car!" I said with a smile. Tom nodded and walked with Edd out the garage door. "You should have seen the kids on the couch," Bryly said looking towards the living room. "What kids?" I laughed. "The Norwegian one and the Neighbor one," Bryly said with an amused look. "Oh them. I don't know them!" I said sarcastically. My friend snorted in laughter. "Coke?" I asked. She nodded and I got up and walked to the fridge. I tossed her one and grabbed myself one. "How's Liam?" I asked when I sat back down. "She's ok so far! Guess who's getting a little sister?" Bryly asked. We heard a faint 'Me!' from Liam. "Really?" I asked. She nodded happily. "Congrats my friend!" I said popping open my can. She smiled and looked over to the clock. "Are Roberto and Toren dating?" She asked. "Yeah, actually they've been together for a while now," I said. She nodded again.

"Mom? Can I get a snack?" Toriel asked with Lauren trailing behind her. "You mean an ass whipping?" I asked in return. Toriel shook her head and backed away. "Yes you guys can get something to eat!" I said laughing. ///ASS WHIPPING!!! LMAO!!! (LAUGH MY ASS OFF)/// I looked over at Bryly but only to find her dozing off with her head on the table. I grabbed the nearest blanket from the basket and threw it over her. "Night my friend," I said silently before heading upstairs.

I opened the door to Tord's and my room and walked in. I closed the door and noticed a sleeping Tord under the blankets. I smiled and sat on the other side. "Raven?" He said waking up. "Yes Tord?" I said. "Did you ever think of ever retiring from the armies?" He asked thoughtfully. "No, why?" I asked him. "I just get tired easily these days. And I want to spend more time with the kids," He said looking into my black eyes. I sighed in deep thought. "Take a break for now okay? I'll take over. Everything will be fine my Norwegian flower," I stroked the hairs from his face. He looked at me reassuringly. "Running an army is like running a band to me. I'll be fine," I said smiling at him. He nodded and pulled the covers closer to himself. I turned into my tortoiseshell cat form and mewed softly. He smiled and patted the mattress beside him. I trotted over and nestled close to his warm chest. He smiled and looked at my sleeping figure and fell asleep next to me.
