Title: What About the Family?
Rating: R
Summary: She accepted even knowing that he had another family.

Sigyn sat on one of the swings by the lake, eyes glued to the lake, but she wasn't really looking at it. Instead, her mind was thinking about Loki and his family. She couldn't help but be worried over it.

"Sigyn?" Loki stopped next her, though she hadn't heard him making his way over to her.
She squeaked and almost fell back of the swing, if only for her reflexes she had been training that kept her hands firmly on the ropes of the swing.

"Loki!" She huffed, having regained her breath.
"I though valkyries were ready for anything!" Loki teased her, but she just rolled her eyes and ignored the comment.

"to what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked instead, causing him to chuckled and sit next to her on the other swing.

"Does a husband need a reason to spend time with his wife?" Loki asked, avoiding the question like he always did.

"When that husband is you, then yes." she retorted while Loki mock glared at her, before becoming serious.

"I have spoken with Angrboda." he muttered, glancing up at the sky.
Sigyn tensed and she wondered if there was a way of tensing up even more than it was possible.

"She wants to meet you."

Sigyn realized that yes, there was a way of tensing more than it was possible, because it had just happened to her. Was she allowed to have a heart attack? Was it possible for them to have such a thing happen to them? or was that just something that mortals had happened? Because Sigyn was sure that maybe she also had some mortal blood in her, since she was sure something was happening to her heart.

"I….what…alright." Sigyn was having trouble with words and Loki couldn't help but laugh, causing Sigyn to turn a dark shade of red.

"When will I meet her?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"Do not worry, she won't kill you. I think with all of your training you have become a good match for her." Loki winked at her, causing Sigyn to pale at the idea of having to fight Angrboda.

"I am kidding, I am sure it won't come to such things. She is not as horrible as people make her seem." Loki smiled softly, eyes losing its focus and Sigyn knew that he was thinking about Angrboda. It made her feel just a tiny bit better, because Angrboda must be a worthy woman, if she held Loki's heart.

Sigyn felt a bit of jealousy, because she could never compare to someone like Angrboda. The more time she spent with Loki, the more she wished that Loki would look at her with the same love.

Sigyn knew that she should stop herself for falling even deeper for Loki, because he was just completing something to help his brother. This was a marriage of convenience. Yes, they were friends, they got along, and their marriage will thankfully be a nice one….but it wouldn't be the same as he had with Angrboda….and, Sigyn had to admit that she was beginning to wish that their relationship was that, a relationship….not just a friendship.

She shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about such things. It would be better if she ignored those thoughts and just focused on what she had now.
"When will I be meeting her?" sigyn asked again, having regained her composure.
Loki looked at her with a frown, before sighing.

"We leave tomorrow, early morning." Loki smiled weakly, before standing up and walking away.

Sigyn didn't have it in her to call out to him to ask him to stop, to ask him if he was alright. Honestly, she really wasn't up to talking or interacting with anyone.

She slowly stood up and made her way back to her room. She had to pack some things, she wondered if she should take gifts for Loki's family….
Would they accept it? Would they think she was trying to buy them?

Sigyn rummaged through her drawers as she prepared her bag for tomorrow.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Sigyn hadn't realized that Freyr had entered her room. She didn't turn around to look at him, she just tighten her hold on the dress she had in her hands.

Freyr walked over and wrapped his arms around her, and that did it. Sigyn turned around and hugged him back, quiet tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I'm scared of meeting his family. I'm scared of what they'll say and of what they'll think of me. I'm scared that I'll want what they have, only to know that I'll never have such a thing with him…."

Freyr listened to her and rubbed her back, trying his best to offer the only comfort he could.

"Do not worry, little star, you are stronger than this. Just be yourself, you've made it this far, don't change now, eh?" Freyr looked down and smiled at Sigyn, calling her by the nickname he had given her when she had been younger. It made Sigyn smiled.

"I love you Freyr." Sigyn muttered, closing her eyes and hugging him tighter.

"I love you too little star." Freyr responded, resting his head on top of hers.

"You've survived worst, little star, remember that. You are worth every single thing, never doubt it. Remember, that if you wish to back out from the marriage, you have us behind you in whatever you wish." Freyr stated strongly, looking her in the eyes to make sure she knew he was serious.

Sigyn smiled and nodded.

"Thank you."
Freyja burst in, grinning maniacally, eyes blazing with fire.

"I am here to help get your stuff ready for tomorrow, and to get you ready for tomorrow!" She stated, causing the other two to share a look before bursting into laughter.

"What? Don't laugh, you'll thank me later, you'll see." Freyja smirked, going over to rummage through the bag that Sigyn had already started putting things in.

"What is this? Nope, you must take all the clothes I've given you and the valkyris as well!" Freyja stated, throwing all the clothes out, only to replaced them with all the clothes that Sigyn was already dreading having to wear.

"Really Freyja, is that necessary?" Freyr asked amused, while Freyja snorted and shot him a glare.

"Of course! Sigyn is strong, she won't show it if she hides behind the big clothes. She needs to hold onto the courage and strength she has, and this is the only way." Freyja stated, turning to look at Sigyn with her hands on her hips. Sigyn smiled and hugged Freyja.

"Thank you sister." she muttered, causing Freyja to relax and hug her back.

"Nothing to thank me for," Freyja muttered back.

…..
Sigyn was ready, her long hair was up in a ponytail braid. She wore green leggings with a light blue knee length tunic. The belt around her waist was one that the valkeryes had given her, it was a beautiful red dragon scale belt. It really had been impressive, and Freyja had forced her to wear it.

Sigyn really had to learn how to say no to her sister at times, right? In the end, Sigyn had to admit that she didn't say no, because she really did want to wear the clothes that Freyja gave her, she just felt so unworthy of them, that she needed a push. Because it was early, Freyja allowed her to wear her cloak for warmth after all, she knew that Sigyn would have to take the cloak off sooner or later, and her masterpiece would be fully appreciated, Freyja thought with a smirk.

Sigyn bid her family farewell, and rushed to meet Loki at one of the back entrance in the gardens. She heeled boots didn't make a sound because of the leather placed at the bottom, in order for the valkeryes to make sneak attacks.

It made Sigyn wondered if the valkeryes wore the heeled boots after Freyja came to Asgard, because it was something that she would have come up with and she was sure that the Valkyries wouldn't really care about their shoes when in battle.

"Ready to go?" Loki asked, offering her his hand when she came into view. She nodded and took the offered hand.

She was ready as she would ever be, that was for sure.

...

...

Loki had more than one family, and I wonder if Sigyn came first or later? I presumed she came later, because Angrboda and Loki's kids became the great monsters of the myths, while Sigyn's children were killed at a young age, which is even more depressing….
Either way, those two families knew about each other!
