Learn To Love(Vikings-Ivar the Boneless:Part 6)

*Alva's pov*

The two months passed quickly..my belly was starting to round which Ivar was absolutely loving...I stood watching the boats being loaded..I was worried this wasn't a normal raid that I've been apart of many times this was brothers against brothers..Ivar and Hvitserk against Bjorn and Ubbe...my father against my uncle...I sighed as Hvitserk walked up beside me "Hvitserk."

Hvitserk nodded "How are you princess?"

I sighed "We are fine dear Hvitserk."

He nodded "Good."

I sighed deeply "I'm worried..I have this feeling a bad feeling."

Hvitserk looked down at me "It's the child Alva."

I sighed "Not that feeling Hvitserk...that no matter how this ends it's not going to help anything."

He nodded "I feel it too but it's too late.."

I nodded "I know."

Ivar made his way up to us "Is all ready?"

Hvitserk nodded "Yeah..."

I watched Hvitserk get on the boat then looked up at Ivar "Husband."

Ivar smiled "No dress my wife?"

I shrugged "Easier for me than fussing with a dress.."

He placed a hand on my cheek "You are not to leave camp period."

I nodded "I understand."

Ivar smiled "Come dear wife."

With that we were off..when we arrived camp was set up I sat at a table eating an apple when my father walked up "Father."

Father kissed my head then say down "Eating..good good...there is something I must yell you my dear daughter."

I nodded "Okay."

He nodded "Astrid is with child."

I looked at him "Are you certain?"

Father nodded "Yes...aren't you happy for me...you are married and to be a mother very soon...you will always be my greatest blessing the one who pushed me to become what I am..but this is my chance to do things the way I should of when you came into my life."

I looked at him with a small smile "Of course I am...forgive me my mind is all over...I hope you are a wonderful father to this child we may haven't started off how we should of but I couldn't ask for a better father than the one the gods blessed me with."

He smiled "So I'm sure Ivar placed some rules on you."

I nodded "To stay here and eat...but we agreed I can help tend to the injured."

Father nodded "Good."

I looked up as I saw Ivar coming over and father stood "Congratulations father."

He smiled softly and walked off

Ivar sat down then leaned over pressing a gentle kiss to my lips "You taste sweeter than usual."

I laughed softly "Apples...trying to settle my stomach a little...the child doesn't like all this movement.."

He flattened a hand across my belly "It will ease up.....I never told anyone but when I went with my father to England I got sick.."

I smiled softly "Why are you telling me this Ivar?"

Ivar shrugged his eyes not leaving where his hand was resting "I want to be a good father Alva better than mine..I want our children to be proud of me despite what I have done."
