Learn To Love(Vikings-Ivar the Boneless:Part 4)

*Alva's pov*

Since Sigurd's death and the weddings things seemed to be returning to normal...my father had set sail to Kattegat while Bjorn and Halfdan had set sail for the Mediterranean...today Floki was leaving...I stood as my husband and his brothers said their goodbyes...I stepped up "Be safe dear Floki."

Floki smiled "Thank you dear Princess Alva.."

I spoke softly "You mean a great deal to my husband and you've made this time so easy for me...I wish you weren't leaving but I understand."

He gently cupped my cheek"I knew you would princess...take care of Ivar he needs someone to understand..who believes in him."

I nodded "I will.."

Floki smiled "Of course you will...may the gods bless you with healthy children."

I smiled softly "Remember you can always come back dear Floki."

He smiled stepping away getting on his boat "Keep then in line dear princess.."

I nodded with a small laugh "Someone has to."

Floki just giggled lightly

Once Floki had sailed off I could sense Ivar wasn't in a good mood when he crawled off..I sighed "He's not taking this well."

Ubbe nodded "Want us to speak with him?"

I shook my head "Normally I would say yes but in this instance it might be best if it's me."

He nodded "Tell Ivar we'll be along shortly."

Hvitserk smiled "So you must stay fully clothed dear Alva."

I smacked his arm "Oh shut up."

He grinned "Just saying."

I shook my head and walked off...I found Ivar in the cabin sitting at the table a thrall serving him "Selby start preparing dinner please."

She nodded "Yes Princess Alva.."

I nodded as she walked out...I walked over gently running my fingers through his hair "My dear husband."

Ivar sighed deeply "Yes my princess.."

I sighed "Tell me what's wrong."

He let his hand rest low on my back "Just thinking my love..."

I raised an eyebrow as he pulled me down on his lap "About Floki?"

Ivar nodded his fingers playing with the end of one of my braids "Yes...well one of many things..I want to continue raiding...and I want you there...unless.."

I nodded "I knew that was coming..."

He cupped my cheek "Not that I don't trust your skills my princess it's just if you end up with child I don't want to risk anything this is not be being me wanting control this is me as your husband."

I nodded "I understand."

Ivar pulled my head down slightly "You're perfect.."

I lip my lips brush against his lightly "I wish you wouldn't bottle things up away from me Ivar...I know this isn't something you are used to but I am here for you above anyone else."

He nodded "I know..I'm trying."

I smiled softly capturing his lips for a full kiss

Ubbe and Hvitserk walked in "Well well."

Ivar rolled his eyes as he pulled from me "Do shut up.."

I patted his chest as I got up taking my seat..as we ate dinner I listened to the guys debate on settling or raiding a nearby town called York...I raised an eyebrow as Ubbe asked me "I don't think that its my place to have an opinion on this."
