Disclaimer: I don't own Thor or any of it's character.
I know ther have been dozens of sister stories, but this one is one of the few where the sister is not in love with Loki. these are small glimpses of Loki and Bryn's childhood.
Note: I have not read the full comic so this is all purely based on the movie.
Odin paced the length of his throne room nearly a dozen times as he waited. He was usually quite patient with any matter, but this was different. His clasped his hands behind his back and kept walking, his head downcast.
He wasn't the only one waiting. The whole of Asgard was waiting for the news, every guard, baker and child.
Speaking of child, two loud and very excited boys came running into the throne room, fresh from their escape from which ever maid had the duty of caring for them that particular day.
Odin stopped his pacing to see his two sons come to a halt before him.
"Father has it happened yet?" Thor asked as he regained his breath. He always seemed to be the voice of the two of them seeing is how he was the eldest, while Loki was the silent planner.
"No Thor. Not yet." Odin placed a hand on both of his sons' tiny shoulders. One day these shoulder would caring much of the responsibility of Asgard's well being.
"Is mother all right?" Loki asked in his usual soft voice. "I am not sure my son. But she is in capable hands so we have nothing to worry about." Odin responded as calmly as he could, but even he felt nervous about it.
"For now, we must be patient my boys." He straightened up and walked over to the balcony that gave him the best view of the entire city, where he saw the last of the sun's light reaching over the horizon as the waiting now dragged on into the night.
He heard Thor groan and scuff his boots across the floor, "How much longer?" He whined.
"He said we had to be patient." Loki pointed out bluntly. He seemed to be handling the situation better than his brother. He always did.
Odin let the two of the banter back and forward, knowing Loki would always get the better of his brother when it came to a battle of words. At least this way it would distract them.
Not long after that, a young guard came running into the room completely out of breath. This could mean one thing.
"Well?" Odin asked anxiously, wringing his hands together.
Thor and Loki rushed to their father's side.
"All Father." The guard dropped to his knee still panting, "Queen Frigg has ... given birth to ... to a son ... and a daughter."
The news filled Odin's heart with much joy, "And my wife?'
"Well, but she ... needs her rest, according ... to the midwives."
"Good, you are dismissed."
The guard bowed once more to the king and left quickly, no doubt to spread the news. Not only had Asgard gained a new prince, but a princess. Odin could not be any happier.
"A brother and a sister." Thor said quietly, taking in the reality.
"Yes, my sons." He turned to them and gave them a serious look, "That means twice the responsibility. Come."
The two princes followed after the All Father and made their way to the massive chambers that belong to the Odin and Frigg. Surely enough, dozens of young healers made their way in and out, most chattering about the turnout of these events. When they saw their king and princes approach they bowed their heads.
Only one remained upright, the head healer of Asgard herself Geana. "My King, this may not be the appropriate time, your wife and newborns need rest." She stood in the doorway, blocking Odin from entering.
"Please Geana, I only wish to see for myself that Frigg and my children are well."
"The queen has been through a long and strenuous ordeal. Twins have always been difficult to birth. It is a miracle that all three survived."
Odin tensed at the very thought of losing Frigg, or either of his children. Both Thor and Loki glanced at each other nervously.
"True, and I thank you Geana for preventing such a tragedy. But my own heart can not settle until I see with my own eyes that they are well." Odin said softly.
Geana was a hard woman by nature, but also kind hearted. She saw the worried expression and the Thor and Loki's faces and the unsettled look in Odin's remaining eye. Maybe it would be good for them to visit.
"As you wish my king." Geana nodded.
Thor immediately took off and ran past Geana excited. She called after him to be quiet but failed to calm the little prince. Loki on the other hand walked nervously next to his father. Odin saw his hesitation and responded to it.
He took his second son's small hand in his and squeezed it in reassurance.
By the time they had arrived, Thor was already peering over the side of the golden cot that held the newborn prince and princess. Frigg was standing at his side, looking tired yet still beautiful.
"Your Majesty! You shouldn't be up yet." Geana rushed over and tried to pull the queen back to her bed.
"I am alright Geana," She raised her hand up to stop the healer's protests. "Thor just wanted to see his new siblings."
Odin and Loki joined Frigg and Thor and looked over at the new arrivals.
Two golden haired infants lay close together under a white silk blanket, one wiggling every few seconds while the other lay perfectly still, sound asleep. The only sound that could be heard in the large room was the gently gurgles of the infants.
Frigg carefully picked up the one wiggling and wrapped him up in a separate cloth, "Your new son my king." She handed the tiny prince to his proud father. Odin cradled the boy, who began to softly protest for being awoken. Thor tugged on his father's arm to try and get a better look, "Father, can I hold him? Please?"
"When you calm down, you may."
But the boy just kept jumping up and down to see. Frigg couldn't help but laugh. She looked over at Loki, who was still peering over the side of the cot. His gentle eyes were glued to the baby girl.
He didn't see that his mother was watching him, so he reached into the cot and lightly touch the little girl's cheek with the tip of his finger. The baby girl stirred slightly, making Loki flinch, but his finger was caught a tiny hand.
Frigg's heart warmed at the sight. "Would you like to hold her Loki?"
He jumped slightly, but still nodded.
Frigg smiled and pointed to the bed, "Go sit and I'll bring her to you." Loki obediently did so while Frigg wrapped the baby girl up in the same fashion as her brother.
Loki sat nervously as her waited, his hands balling up into fist, as Frigg finally brought his little sister over to him.
"Hold out your arms, Loki,"
He did, trying to mimic how he had seen Odin do it. Frigg placed the precious bundle carefully in his arms, helping move them into the correct position. "There, now not too tight, but still a firm hold."
She sat down beside him, watching his wide eyed expression. He slowly but surely began to smile.
"What are their names my king?" Frigg asked her dear husband.
The All Father held his son up at eye level, "My third son, you shall be named ... Baldr Odinsson."
Frigg nodded. It was a good name for such a beautiful child.
"As for my first daughter." Odin turned and looked as his wife, "You may give her a name my queen."
Frigg thought hard about the right name to give her. She knew that her daughter would be beautiful, but there was still something special about her, a secret gift yet to be seen. She would be strong like her father, and kind like herself.
"Brynhildr." She finally decided. "Her name shall be Brynhildr Odinsdaughter."
Odin smile. Thor cheered. Loki remained quiet.
"Loki, Thor." Both princes looked at their father. "I am relying on both of you to be responsible older brothers to your new siblings. Both of you now must take good care of them as well as each other. Do you understand?"
They both nodded.
Frigg went over to her husband who was trying to show Thor how to hold his baby brother, while Loki remained seated, holding Brynhildr close to his chest.
"Byr ... Brynhildr." He muttered, testing out the name. It suited her perfectly. "Brynhildr," he cooed again, and to his amazement, she slowly opened her tiny eyes, revealing two glowing orbs of topaz looking into his emerald eyes.
Yes I know Brynhildr is one of Thor's lovers in the comics, but once again this is based on the movie. Besides, Brynhildr is one of Odin's daughters in mythology so there.
Please review, and I will loved you forever.
