Freya was born late summer, much to the team's shock as they had been rescuing me from HYDRA when my water broke. Freya ended up being born on the jet with Hank telling me what to do. Yeah I know. I didn't think he knew how to deliver a baby. And the team was in love the moment she was cleaned up and in my arms. Thor was glowing with pride and love as he held me and kissed the top of Freya's head, telling her she was the most beautiful child to ever live. He still didn't know what Freya was going to do when she grew up nor about what I had been through since I figured he would know when I tell him in the future.
With an annoyed sigh I threw off the covers and dragged myself out of bed. Freya was crying and Thor refused to wake up to tend to her. Guess who's sleeping on the couch, or better yet the floor for the rest of the month. Picking her up I did a quick check of her, finding her both hungry and with a wet diaper. Setting her on the changing table I focused my magic on preparing a bottle for her while cleaning her bottom; once that was done I sat down in my rocking chair and fed her while singing softly to her. For some reason Freya doesn't eat much unless I sing while feeding her. Tony commented that it was most likely due to my singing while I was still pregnant with her; this was after I had been feeding her during one of my visit to the mansion. I just hoped she would grow out of it before long since I couldn't leave her with Thor since he hadn't wrapped his head around how the tape recorder worked. I had been tempted to video tape myself singing so he could just stick it on when he would feed her but with my luck he'd misplace the tape/dvd and I'd have to come home just to feed our daughter. Oh well, least I get to laugh at him as he gags while changing her diapers. If I didn't love him as much as I do I would tape it and send it in to AFV. Chuckling at the thought of everyone seeing the god of thunder losing it before a dirty bum I lifted Freya to my shoulder and burped her. "There you go my little angel. A clean bottom and a full belly. Now let's get you back to sleep so mommy can get some sleep herself. After all I have to beat your father up in the morning." I said as I laid her back down in her crib. The moment she was down she was out. After covering her I shut off the lights, cleaned out the bottle in the kitchen, and went back to bed after giving Thor a dirty look.
Thor was doing everything in his power to make me forgive him for sleeping while I dealt with Freya, even trying to prove to me he could feed her with out me singing (Which was resulting in a big mess all over both her and him). "Thor just stop. We both know she won't eat with out my singing so that's not gonna work. And I am not forgiving you. It was your turn last night to go to her, I could've sang from the bed while you fed her but no. You just rolled over and went on sleeping leaving me to get up. I bet if we were living in the mansion everyone else would've gotten up to help me with her; unlike a god I could mention." I could feel Thor's shoulders drop in shame, but he needed to know that his wrath might be great, but mine is greater. "Oh! Sonya that is a good idea." Thor suddenly said. "Huh?" I turned to him in confusion. "You said last night you need some time to yourself. I could take Freya to the mansion along with her bag and the team could help me take care of her for a day. Maybe Janet could even baby sit her for the night allowing us to have a peaceful dinner and night together." I couldn't help but smile at him. Thor had found a way to get me to forgive him after all. "Alright Thor. If they don't mind then we can do that. I'll have a day to myself and we can enjoy a night together like we did before Freya." Thor rushed out of the room to clean both himself and Freya while I went to pack the diaper bag with everything that would be needed, including the tape with my singing on it.
"You guys really don't mind this?" I had to ask again as Janet sat down with Freya. "Don't worry Sonya. We'll be able to handle her. You just go and enjoy your free time. And be sure to send me the bills ok?" Tony told me. It was nice that he was willing to pay for my day away from motherhood, as well as the dinner I would be having with Thor that night. "Ok Tony. Just be sure to play the tape when she's being fed or she won't eat. Other then that you'll just have to learn as you go." I explained before walking over and kissing Freya's forehead. "Thanks Janet for agreeing to watch her tonight." Janet waved off what I was saying. "I hope to have kids one day. This is a great way for me to practice." I chuckled. "Just be careful. She's already showing signs that she too has magic. So if something starts floating or breaks you know who did it." I warned before heading for the door, kissing Thor as I went. "Have a wonderful time Sonya." Thor called after me.
After a three-hour visit to the spa I sat in my fave café drinking tea while reading my fave magazine. "Sonya?" I looked up and smiled at the guy standing before me. "Luke, this is a surprise." I commented as I stood and hugged him. Luke Farron was a former classmate of mine who I had once been best friends with. "I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you. Heard you got yourself married to a hero and had a daughter." Luke and I sat down and I smiled at him. "Yeah I married Thor and we have Freya. Care to see her?" I asked while taking out my wallet. Luke smiled as he looked at the pic of me and Thor with Thor holding Freya. "Wow. She's beautiful." He complimented. I tucked the picture back into my wallet then put it away. "So what have you been up to Luke?" I asked him. "Nothing much. Bouncing around with work trying to find the right fit for me. Oh and I'm dating." He answered. "That's great." I was happy for him. In school he couldn't get a date with anyone because he always closed up around people. "Yeah he's a great guy." Ok I wasn't expecting that. "So you like men?" I hadn't meant to ask him that, it just came out. Like thankfully just chuckled. "Yeah. I was afraid to let on in school for fear of being singled out for being gay. Hey would you and Thor like to have dinner with us some time?" Hmm… How would Thor react to having dinner with two gay guys? "If you need to run it by him before giving your answer I could give you our number and you can call with your answer when you have it." Luke offered. "Yeah that would be best." I handed over my cell and let him enter his number. "There you go. I best get going. Have to look for a job or Jack will lock me out of the apartment for a week." Luke gave me a quick hug after returning my phone and left.
That night Thor and I ate out after seeing a movie. "Remember that movie we saw together when I figured out that I might have hidden powers?" I asked Thor. "How could I forget? It was the first one we saw together." He answered. "Yeah. I think we could call that our first date." We laughed lightly at that. In truth it couldn't be called a first date as I had only gone in there chasing after my dead sister and past self. "So what shall we do when we leave here?" Thor asked. I smirked at him and picked up my glass of wine. "We could turn in early." I suggested while brushing my foot against his leg, one of the ways I'd let him know I was in the mood. Thor returned my smirk with one of his own. "I like that idea Sonya." Suddenly I remembered what had happened earlier that day. "Oh Thor, I need to run something by you." Thor nodded showing he was listening. "I meet up with an old classmate of mine and he wants to have us over for dinner some time." A look of relief seemed to spread over Thor's face after hearing this. "Oh that's good." The tone used to say that meant he was thinking something else. "What's with the relief?" I asked. "Oh um nothing." Thor had answered quickly and wasn't looking at me. "Liar. What's going on Thor?" I hate it when he lies to me; not that he does it often mind you but he does try once in a while. "Well, Tony went out to pick up some things Janet suggested Freya would like and he saw you hugging a man in a cafe. He said you two looked close." Thor's voice was dripping with shame. "Oh Thor. I can't believe you thought for a moment that I would cheat on you. Luke is an old classmate of mine who I haven't seen since we left school." Thor is an easy guy to make jealous. All it takes is to hear, see, or think I am around another guy. It's cute yet annoying. "Besides Thor Luke is dating a really nice guy from what I heard." This took a few seconds to click in but soon enough Thor's head snapped up and he gave me a funny look. "What?" He asked. I giggled at him before answering. "Luke likes men, not women."
After explaining a little more to him about Luke and the boyfriend he had Thor and I returned home and…well I doubt I need to explain what happened.
Opening my eyes I sighed as I noticed the clock telling me that it was only 4:17am. I was about to close my eyes and go back to sleep when I noticed something white sitting on the near by chair. "Hm?" Taking a better look at it I found it was a white dress. "What's that doing here?" I asked as I stood and walked over to it. That was when I heard a bell. Turning my head to the bedroom door I saw the edges were glowing white. So with a sigh I threw on the dress and headed for the door.
The forest, which had been green and full of life the last time I had been there was now full of falling leaves of orange, brown, and golden colors. Does this place have seasons too? I wondered before walking over to the circle and taking my place in the empty throne. "Sonya it is good to see you again." The scale woman greeted me. "What's with the change around here? Is it fall here?" I asked. The fox man sighed. "No. This is a result of why we summoned you here." He explained. "The time you warned me of?" I asked. Every one of them nodded sadly. "Alright. What do I need to know?" I asked.
Three hours later I was worried. "So then this is going to be something that will test everyone." I sighed. "Yes it is." The snake woman confirmed. "Sonya be sure to take care. We have every reason to believe they will come after you because of your powers." The fox man warned. "So to sum it all up there is an evil force running around that will most come hunting my family and friends in hope to trashing the world so they can make it the way they think it should be?" I asked. "Yep." Agreed the scale woman. "Well then I better get back and make sure everything is alright." I sighed.
"Sonya, wake up." I rolled over and looked up into Thor's eyes. "Morning. Did I over sleep?" I greeted him. He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "You just seemed to be having a troubling dream so I thought it best to wake you." I sat up and stretched my arms over my head. "Well let's get up and I'll fix us something to eat then we can go get Freya. If she hasn't turned the mansion upside down by now." I joked. Thor laughed as he stood.
Thankfully the mansion was right side up when we got in. However there had been a small fire when Freya got mad at Hulk for turning off her Dora. And Clint was suffering from a cold after scaring Freya who turned him into a block of ice in revenge. "I'm glad I didn't upset her." Tony commented at I took Freya from Janet. "Well I warned you guys. Sorry about the fire." Tony waved it off. "Don't worry about it Sonya. At least the mansion is still standing." He joked. "Well thanks guys for taking care of her for the night. Thor and I had a great time last night and I have never felt more relaxed then I did yesterday." Just then Clint came running in looked freaked. "Guys, you need to see this." So we all followed him outside where it was snowing. Which was weird since its still summer. "So, it's begun." I sighed.
