A week and five days later
Loki swiftly pulled the t-shirt over his head as he looked down at the sleeping Sophia, finding serenity in the peaceful expression on her face as she slept. Her red hair standing out on the dark green silk sheets as she rolled over lethargically when Loki slipped underneath the covers.
"Hello baby," she murmured, letting herself get pulled into his arms as he felt her breath on his chest, which felt somewhat soothing as he felt his muscles relax. "How're you?"
"Better now I have arrived home, I apologise for waking you," he whispered, planting a soft kiss on her forehead as his hands found her hair, as he began to stroke it gently, it felt like silk between his fingers.
"It's okay," she said quietly, smiling softly as she traced patterns along his back which made him shiver slightly due to her fingers which felt like leaving a trail of fire across his skin, the tense mood which was previously clouding his mind slowly disappearing. "I missed you today."
"I apologise, the mortals at work are demanding more than I care to deliver," Loki said with a half hearted sigh, concentrating solely on her touch.
Sophia murmured something comforting under her breath as she burrowed closer to him, wrapping her leg over his as she tilted her head back slightly, planting a soft kiss on Lokis protruding collar bones.
"I'm glad I woke up, I need to talk to you," Sophia sighed, rolling over so she could lethargically slam her hand down on the lamp switch, moaning as she clamped her hands over her eyes as the white light lit up the room, while with the other hand she grabbed the cigarette packet and lighter as she pulled herself up.
"What is the matter my love," Loki asked as he looked up at her, confusion clouding his green eyes as he pulled himself upright, putting his arm around her, his arm tracing the bare skin on her shoulder as she smoked.
"I thought you were quitting that habit," Loki said after a moment, making Sophia smirk as she glanced at him through sleep clouded eyes.
"I am trying," she grinned, "today hasn't been my day though," she tried to grin broadly but Loki could see the sadness hidden behind it.
"What has happened?" Loki asked, concern dripping off his tongue as he looked at her.
"Isabella went home today, I just worry that they aren't safe," Sophia said quietly, taking a last deep drag before flicking her cigarette into the ash tray, looking up at him with sad eyes which, much as Loki disliked showing it, he could feel his heart softening under her gaze. "There are only three left. Mollie, Zacharias and Ruben – and you know that they're only kids," she said slowly, dropping her gaze, fiddling with the green silk sheets as she carried on, "and I can't find Mollie's parents, which breaks my heart but then again, Ruben's parents have died and I wouldn't trust Zach's parents with a dog let alone a son," she trailed off again, fixing her eyes onto his as they filled with tears. "Loki, I want them to remain safe."
"Yes," Loki nodded suspiciously, a mixture of amusement and confusion clouding him as he looked at her, as he placed a hand on her cheek softly, pushing all loose strands of hair behind her ear.
"I want to keep them," she said, the words bursting through her otherwise pursed lips as she glanced into his eyes fearfully. "I'm scared to lose them into the care system and some shit and them what if they find him," she cried out. "I just wanted you to know that this is what I want. I don't expect you to hang about and stay with me, you're a god. So fierce and strong and then I'm going to be trying to be like a parent to these children, and it's not that I want you to leave, I love you. But I won't risk it," she shook her head violently, opening her mouth to continue but Loki shut her off with a searing kiss, nibbling slightly on her bottom lip before pulling away.
"Sophia, I shall not abandon you, and if you wish to keep those children then I will remain alongside you." Loki said seriously, lot letting Sophia take her eyes of his as he spoke, "I will not go, we will remain strong and if that is what you wish I shall protect you."
"Loki," she smiled half heartedly, tugging down on his baggy black trousers as she climbed on top of him, grinning impishly, the happiness making Loki break into his own smile. "What on earth did I do to deserve you," she chuckled as she felt Lokis hand creep up her back, his nails digging into her back making her moan lightly into his mouth.
"Sophia," both Loki and Sophia heard a small voice say at exactly the same time making them spring apart, a smirk playing on Sophias lips as she looked down and saw that Loki had magically put a deep green baggy top over her head, slipping out of the bed and padding over to the door, glancing over her shoulder at Loki saying, "it's a miracle we get to do anything at all," Before she reached the door.
"Oh Mollie," she said softly, pulling the shaking girl into her arms, standing up as she soothingly balanced her onto one hip, swaying slightly as she did so, "what's the matter?"
"There are monsters in the closet," she sniffled, rubbing her eyes making a few more tears slide down her cheeks.
"Oh honey, there are no monsters, not here," she said quietly, pushing her hair back as she looked at Loki with a half grin, half pleading look on her face as Loki sat up, pulling the covers.
"Mollie my dear, I would not allow any monsters to harm you, not ever," Loki said comfortingly, Mollies large brown eyes staring at him as Sophia laid Mollie down in the middle of the bed before climbing in beside her.
"Do you really mean that mister?" Mollie asked innocently as Sophia flicked the lights out.
"I do Mollie, and if it would make you sleep easier tomorrow night than if you wish it, we can check the whole house for monsters before lunch, and if we find any I would kick them straight out," Loki said, grinning slightly down at her, making Mollie squeal from happiness, clapping her small hands together.
"Really?" she cried out.
"Of course," Loki said, settling himself underneath the covers, reaching up and holding Sophias hand over Mollies head as she began to doze off already, her quiet snores filling the room.
"You may call me Loki," he said as an afterthought as he glanced down at Mollie before looking up at Sophia, his excellent vision in the dark making him smile as he saw the honest smile spread across Sophias face.
"I love you, so much," she whispered, "You would make a fabulous father. Thank you for taking all this on."
"Anything for you. You would also be an amazing mother Sophia, I know it."
Before all three of them falling into a dreamless sleep.
