Viking Oneshots and Mini Stories

You Had Me(Vikings:Ubbe Lothbrok/Ivar the Boneless-Part 2)

*Ubbe's pov*

After Ingrid and I married her mind seemed to ease a little she became more curious about Wessex and their culture but now I had to talk to her about what King Alfred asked me I talked with Lagertha and Torvi they had their opinions and minor agreement but insisted I needed to speak to Ingrid immediately...I found my darling wife in a garden I walked up pressing a kiss to her cheek "What are you doing out here love?"

Ingrid smiled "Taking a walk Heahmund told me about these...how beautiful is this."

I nodded "Not as beautiful as you."

She laughed "England is ruining you..."

I chuckled "No it's not..but there is something we need to talk about."

Ingrid nodded "Let's walk."

I nodded as we walked her slender arms wrapped around my arm "So the king approached me about something and I'm really thinking about it.."

She nodded "Okay?"

I sighed deeply "He wants us to renounce our Gods...take their God...and I'm really considering it love here you're safe from Ivar the baby is safe...here we could give her a good life."

Ingrid nodded "Do you trust him?"

I raised an eyebrow "What do you mean?"

She looked up at me "I'm asking you as my husband do you trust Alfred that of we do this we will be given what was ours?"

I nodded "I trust him."

Ingrid looked at me with those beautiful green eyes "What do the others say?"

I sighed "Torvi and Lagertha think it's a good idea to protect you and the baby..Bjorn is furious that I'm turning into Ragnar...did you know he did it he was baptized like Rollo was he was actually pursuing their god...if he found his peace in it maybe we can too....I want to do whatever I have to to keep Ivar away."

She sighed deeply "Tell me Heahmund is doing this because if not I won't do it...I trust him."

I nodded "From my understanding yes."

Ingrid nodded "Then tell King Alfred I agree we will do what's best for our son or daughter."

I cupped her chin "I told him you would not take a Christian name your mother named you Ingrid and that is what you shall remain."

She nodded "Okay."

I bent down pressing a kiss to her lips "I love you."

Ingrid smiled "I love you too."

I smiled "I'll go talk to Alfred."

She caught my hand "I'll come with you."

I nodded...once we got back we sat with the king telling him we agreed after the ceremony we sat in our room I watched Ingrid fiddle with the cross now around her neck "Ingrid.."

Ingrid sighed "I feel like I betrayed my father."

I nodded "I know but it was the only way to make sure you and the baby remain safe we can always go back when safe."

She sighed deeply "I'm scared Ubbe...I'm absolutely terrified that Ivar will find us."

I moved kneeling in front of her "I won't allow it I made a promise to the gods...to this new God that I would keep you and this baby...our baby safe and I will do just that if it means fighting my brother so be it."

Ingrid nodded "I just worry a feeling I can't seem to shake."

I let my forehead rest against hers "I will never let any harm come to you."
