You Had Me(Vikings:Ubbe Lothbrok/Ivar the Boneless-Part 3)

*Ingrid's pov*

Things were going pretty good the baby was growing perfectly and I could feel him or her move....the more I thought about it the more I felt like the baby was a girl even Ubbe insisted it was as well...I sat talking to Heahmund "I have a question.."

Heahmund nodded "Yes dear Ingrid?"

I sighed "I'm still learning but with this God how does feel about what I've done...carrying the child of one brother married to another."

He nodded "God sees you as a married woman bringing a child into a happy marriage it doesn't matter if he is the man who created the child or not he is the father in the eyes of god you were not unfaithful Ingrid you escaped a dangerous situation."

I nodded "I feel like I'm being judged...I love Ubbe with all my heart I feel like I'm doing wrong."

Heahmund nodd "Because he will be raising a child that is not his?"

I nodded "Yeah."

He nodded "From what Torvi told me Ubbe has been in love with you for a long time but because it seemed Ivar cared for you he never acted on it...you've done nothing wrong Ingrid whether it be the pagan gods or the God you now follow they all know this child was meant to be right where she is maybe she was meant to be Ubbe's all along it was fate that Rollo decided to bring you to us..to Ubbe."

I nodded "She?"

Heahmund nodded "I feel you will have a girl."

I nodded slightly "Do you think Ivar would ever show up here in Wessex?"

He sighed "Honestly I wouldn't put it past him."

I sighed deeply "That's my biggest fear I mean look at me it's quite obvious this isn't Ubbe's baby he shows up hes going to know...and I worry this baby will be born just like him."

Heahmund nodded "It could happen but you have to have a little faith."

I nodded "I'm trying."

He placed a hand on my shoulder "I've seen you stand up against men triple your size my own men at that and during that time I never saw you back down against Ivar himself I know no matter what happens with this baby you will do what you have to as a Pagan or as a Christian to protect her."

I nodded as I stood up smoothing out my dress "Thank you Bishop Heahmund."

Heahmund "You can call me Heahmund I think after all you did for me while I was under Ivar you earned the right."

I nodded "Very well...have a good day Heahmund."

He nodded "You too Ingrid."

I nodded and left...I found Ubbe getting ready for battle "Ubbe..."

Ubbe nodded "Are you feeling alright?"

I nodded "Just tired."

He placed a hand on my swollen belly "You sure?"

I nodded "Yes.."

Ubbe nodded "Rest..I'll be back as soon as I possibly can."

I nodded "Okay."

He leaned down pressing a kiss to my lips "Be careful."

I kept him close "Come back to us...keep both this new God and our gods close to you."

Ubbe sighed deeply "Ingrid."

I placed a hand on his cheek "Promise me Ubbe you'll do whatever you have to to come back to me which ever God you choose I don't care but we need you....I need you."
