Even though Loki had clearly healed, he was still weak. He did his best to stay up and listen to stories with Thor, but soon enough his head started dripping and then he outright fell a sleep leaning up against Thor.

Thor did not mind, at all. In fact he was smiling all over his face. But agreed it would probably be better to guide Loki to a bed.

The next morning Loki had to lean up against Thor as they walked to an empty spot where they could transport themselves back to Midgard. He did how-ever plainly refuse to be carried. When Thor offered Loki gave Thor a look that was sending daggers his direction.

That was good news! Lokis stubborn pride was returning, he truly was doing better.

Soon after they re-entered the Midgardian camp, Loki hanging unto Thors arm and then the Asgardians came and all cheered by the sight of Loki standing up by himself.

"I'm all right." Loki assured in a hoarse voice. "Really I'm fine. I'm okay." he said.

Sif smirked as she stepped in front of him with her hands on her hips. "You look like death." she plainly stated.

"Always a pleasure Sif." Loki commented dryly.

"How many times do I need to safe your ass?" Sif asked.

"I dunno." Loki shrugged and Sif amused shook her head.

"Thank the norns." Sif sighed deeply. "I'm glad to see you doing well."

And Loki returned the small smile.

Thor was beaming then he looked up. "My friends!" he spoke and all Asgardians and the Jotunns who remained listened. "We fought a war, we fought two wars and won! This is a good day, a glorious day. The fighting is over. How-ever, the work has just begun." he said. "We lost our home. Now we must rebuild. I am aware, it is going to be hard. We are going to start from nothing. But I truly believe we can do it. We are a strong and proud people. We can rise, we can build a future, a great beautiful one. We are all in this together, every single last of us. And we will rise again! All it requires is that we do not stop and keep moving forward!"

People all nodded, determination lightning in their eyes as they looked up.

"I am honored and humbled to be your king now." Thor breathed. "I hope I will give this title justice, to do your loyalty justice. I swear to you, I to will keep fighting. I to will work hard! I do though know, I can't do it alone. I can't do anything alone. As much as anyone I am dependent on help. On my brothers help, on your help on…" he looked at Sif.

Sif halted where she stood and Thor offered her a hand.

Sif swallowed then stepped forward, accepted Thors hand and allowed him to pull her over next to him where he kept holding her hand.

"Look." Thor started. "I know… This wasn't planned. Not really." he said. "And I know how it will come across. I am asking you because you will be the mother of my child… That may be part of the truth." he admitted. "How-ever, I also know. You are one I have always been able to depend on, and I am certain I always will be able to depend on you in the future. I can't do this alone, I need help. Sif…" he breathed. "Will you stand next to me in this endeavour?" he asked. "Will you join me on this journey… Become my family? Sif, if you'll allow me to become your husband. I swear to you, I will stay loyal, to the last. I will honour you as a warrior and a woman and do all in my power to offer you the respect and love you deserve."

Sif swallowed, then her eyes grew misty as her throat tied itself into a knot.

Thor bit his lip. "So erhm… What do you say?"

Sif reached forward a hand, touching Thors cheek. Looking at his scarred face, the eyepatch covering his missing eyes, the fine lines of scar tissue around it. His short hair which had started to grow up in odd ways. She looked at his wrinkles, the grime and mud. And then his shining blue eye which was as honest as every. "Yes…" she whispered. "With all my heart. Yes." she cried.

Thor gasped and then he smiled, the two leaned over and kissed while everyone cheered.

"Hail the all father! Hail the all mother!"

"And the new one!" Sif shouted as she parted with Thor. Then she put a hand on her stomach. "Right here is the new Prince of Asgard! Prince Frigg which shall be born in our home realm, in the buildings we are now going to build!" she beamed.

People gasped and then they cheered.

"It's a boy?" Thor asked turning to Sif. "We're having a boy?!"

"If Loki is to be believed." Sif chuckled.

"It's a boy. I felt his energy." Loki sighed deeply.

"HAHAAAA!" Thor laughed. "It's a boy, we're having a boy!" then he gaped. "Frigg?! His name is Frigg?" he turned to Loki.

"Don't look at me, it was Sif's idea." Loki informed.

And Thor turned back to Sif. "What a wonderful name." he whispered.

"You really like it?" Sif asked.

"I love it." Thor said. "It's perfect."

And Sif smiled warmly as Thor offered her an arm which she happily took, sighing deeply as she leaned against Thor.
