Can I Keep You?

Wide Awake

🎵I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long🎵
Wide awake, Katy Perry

Above her head was a mystic purple hue when Helena finally awoke. Confusion flooded her mind as she tried to remember what had happened. It looked like a far off galaxy just above her head.

"Don't be alarmed darling." Friggas voice rings out. Helena looks around trying to pinpoint where the voice is coming from but she can't find Frigga or anyone for that matter. She tries to sit up but can't move. Her limbs are tied down beneath her.

"What's happening? Where am I?" She asks panicked. Adrenaline setting in her system. "Am I dead?" She asks frightened. Frigga chuckles softly.

"No darling, your not dead." She feels a touch on her arm as Friggas face comes into view. She quickly undoes the ties on her wrists before smiling down at her.

"I don't understand what happened.." she says after sitting up. Her hair was pushed back and tied in a loose braid. She plays with the end of it self consciously while she looks up at Frigga. "Where's Loki?"

"He's with Thor, and Odin discussing the jotunheim. " Frigga helps her stand up, drawing her into a hug.

"I thought Thor was back on earth. How long have I been out?" She asks reaching down and touching her stomach lightly. After feeling a swell she looks down in awe. Her tummy had indeed rounded out quite a little bit. "Oh no, did I miss Thor's coronation?" Masculine Laughter fills the room and Helena snaps her head towards the door.

"Aye, you did. But I won't hold it against you." Thor booms, walking into the room. Thor has a cocky swagger to his hips as he walked towards the small mortal. "How are you feeling?" He asks bending down and kissing her cheek sweetly. Frigga smiles at her oldest son and looks towards the door.

"Why didn't anyone tell me she was awake?" The moment she heard Loki's voice her heart fluttered deep within her chest. Loki pushes past Thor and side steps around his mother before enveloping Helena in his arms. "Oh darling, I'm so glad your okay." Loki kisses her face sweetly. First her forehead, then her left eye, her right eye and then the tip of her nose.

"Why don't we give them some privacy." Frigga suggests to Thor as Helena and Loki just embrace each other. Thor nods his head and offers his mother his arm as they exit the room.

"How long have I been asleep?" She whispers as Loki continues to kiss all over face. He reaches down and strokes her tummy lovingly.

"It's been two months darling.." he says softly. "We need to discuss something's my love." She nods her head. She imagined she had indeed missed a lot. Loki sits down on the table she had been on and pulls her down onto his lap. "When you passed out we rushed you to saga, it was then we discovered the baby was part frost giant.." Helena gasps and touches her tummy. Loki sighs and kisses her neck before continuing. "Your body couldn't handle the extreme temperature drip, but raising your body temp would harm the baby."

"I don't understand?" She asks confused.
"Saga put you under a spell. It allowed the baby to stay cold, while your heart and the rest of you stayed a regular body temp. But it required you to stay asleep. Similar to OdinSleep. Your body kept working like normal but your mind rested and kept the baby healthy. During this time we sent Jane and Thor to find your birthparents.. which was extremely hard but my the way.." Loki stops speaking as he thinks about what to say. "It seems we are more alike that it seems my love..." Helena turns to face him confusion crossing her beautiful features.

"I'm a frost giant?" She asks looking at her stomach.

"No darling not frost giant, you are mortal.. but it seems at least one of your birth parents was magical. "You posses powers deep inside of you that we have never seen. I believe that it's a form of witchcraft." Helena thinks real hard before a thought comes to her head.

"Like Wanda?" She asks after a moment. Loki looks at her hard for a moment.

"You mean the scarlet witch with the avengers?" He asks rolling his eyes. Loki loathed her and her twin brother. He found them insufferable at best. Helena nods her head in thought. While Loki taps his chin in wonder. " I mean it is possible, there are similarities in your features.. and the baby does posses strong magic"

"So how am I awake now if I'm supposed to be In a deep sleep?" She asks looking around the room. "And if it's only been two months how am I this pregnant?" She rubs her stomach again. Loki pushes her up slightly so he can stand up. He leans down and kisses her stomach through her dress.

"Because frost giants develop a lot quicker my darling. Frost giants only take 6 months to developed instead of nine. " he says allowing his hand to turn blue as he touches it softly onto her stomach. The coldness sends chills down her spine. At that exact moment she feels movements in her stomach. Loki smiles wide as he feels the movements beneath his fingers.
