I'll Stand Beside You Always

Chapter 10- When You Walk Away

The next morning, the news had spread not just throughout the palace but throughout Asgard. Felicity walked towards the grand hall to have breakfast requested by Frigga. Frigga wanted to make sure that Felicity took proper care of herself and the baby.

Felicity walked pass loads of servants that happily smiled at her; they all liked her anyway because Felicity insisted on doing some things for herself. She joined Frigga in the hall "good morning Frigga" Frigga looked up "morning Felicity and how are we this morning?" Felicity sat down opposite her "we are fine, apart from waking up alone that felt strange" Frigga nodded "Odin requested an audience with the boys, they'll be joining us soon. Don't fret; you know Loki wouldn't leave you if he couldn't help it"

The doors soon opened and in walked all the men, Loki had to force himself not to run to Felicity's side. The women hadn't registered that they were in the room. Frigga was telling Felicity what to suspect now that she was pregnant. "One thing I must warn you about is hormones, they are worse that labour. I'm just glad Odin didn't leave Asgard for any reason. Half the time he was glued to my side, I hated being pregnant"

The men had now joined them; Loki sat beside Felicity "is that why you adopted me mother?" Frigga looked at him "I'm only jesting mother, I know you love me just as much as you love Thor" they all looked at Thor who was messily eating his breakfast "maybe a little bit more than him" he kissed Felicity's cheek "I'm sorry I had to leave you" Felicity smiled "it's okay just try not to make a habit out of it"

Felicity looked back at Frigga "is there anything else I should be concerned about?" Frigga nodded as she sipped her tea "Yes this might be hard but I would try not to do anything dangerous because I have been told this that if the baby feels that you are in danger it will try to defend you" Felicity and Loki looked confused "Defend how?" Frigga smiled "It didn't happen with Thor because he doesn't carry the gift of magic but my mother told me that if the baby also possesses the gift of magic and the baby feels that either it or the mother is in danger, the mum will get the magic"

Thor looked up from his plate "Mother are you saying that if someone was to threaten Felicity, the baby could transfer the magic to her so she could defend herself and the baby" Frigga nodded "exactly only if the baby carries the gift of magic. It might not" Felicity held herself; she was starting to worry about what people may do to the baby when it was born. Frigga saw the look on her face "we can change it, just like we did with Loki. I know you are worried about it but my child, as long as the baby knows that it is loved by at least one person, then that's all that counts"

Felicity smiled "I will love the baby no matter what colour it turns out to be, I just don't want it getting hurt" Loki put his arm around her "We won't let anyone hurt the baby, right mother?" Frigga nodded and that's when Odin piped up "Of course my dear son, everyone in the palace will love that child no matter what the parentage is and they will protect it just like everyone sitting at his table, the servants loved you Loki when we brought you here" Frigga nodded "That was because he was a quiet baby unlike Thor"

Thor just smiled and carried on eating his food, Frigga rolled her eyes "You've been spending too much time with Volgstaff, maybe you should spend more time with Hogun and Fandral. You know Thor; your father was married to me when he was your age. Maybe you should think about that"

Thor sighed "I will take it into deep consideration mother, but for now I think the concentration should be more focused on Felicity, Loki and their wedding plus the baby" Frigga nodded "Don't underestimate me darling, I can focus my mind on many things at a time"

Everyone went about their daily business, Felicity was in the library of course with Loki, her hormone side effects had already began, she was curled up against him, and Loki wasn't going to complain. That was until Lady Sif appeared "I'm sorry to disturb you but the King requests both of your presence in the throne room" the 3 of them walked towards the throne room.

Something was not right; Frigga stood beside Felicity and held her while Loki stood amongst the others. Odin walked towards them "the time has come, the dark forces are among us, and they managed somehow to get into our Realm. We shall find those who trespass and destroy them and those who follow"

Frigga had to hold Felicity up who was about to crumple into a crying mess on the floor. She rubbed her back "sshh it will be okay" Felicity tried to stay positive but how could she, the man she loved was about to once again go off to battle and leave her but more was a stake, Loki had to come back for their child. Odin left the throne room and the others followed but Loki stayed behind.

Frigga left them to say goodbye, Felicity just cried into his chest "You have to come back, Promise me!" Loki held her face in his hands "I promise to you both I shall return and when I do, we shall get married." Felicity nodded "Just don't get hurt please Loki" Loki kissed her "I love you and I love our baby" Felicity kissed him back "We love you too"

Thor appeared "Brother we must leave" Loki nodded "I shall return to you both" Loki turned around and began to walk towards Thor. Felicity found herself counting his steps as he walked away from her. Frigga came back and held the now sobbing Felicity, she managed to transport them to Felicity and Loki's chambers and she lied her down on the bed "you must not try to worry, Loki will be safe and he will come back. They'll be gone a few days so until then if you need anything then please Felicity tell me; I don't want you staying in this room for the next few days. I will send Lisa to come and get you moving each day until his return"

Felicity just nodded, Frigga left her alone, and she knew how it felt. She had just watched all her loved ones once again walk off to defend Asgard but little did they know that they had been left defenceless and they also didn't know that not everyone would come back unhurt…
