"What do you think of living here, Loki?" Vixry asks. She was busy writing down some notes on a notepad. Both Loki and she were sitting down on the couch in the living room, facing towards the front yard. While Vixry was sipping on some ice tea, Loki was drinking on some ice, cold water due to the fact that the current weather was high, above 100 degrees.

"I don't know yet, Vixry. But, I will adjust living in a new environment, though. And I plan on giving birth here because I want our son to be growing up in a nice and healthy environment. Back home would be a very chaotic place to be because I know those people are very well," Loki responds as he places a hand over his flat belly. He sighs because he knows that both he and his unborn baby will be refugees from the law, all because of his past wrongdoings.

"You do want to live here? With me?" Vixry asks, hopefully, evident on her voice. She wanted a child for the longest time and she will not allow Loki and his baby to be without a home over their heads, let alone struggle on the food department.

"Yeah, I think I will stay here. I mean, if that doesn't bother you," Loki explains. "In that case, I will have to start looking for some job to bring in some money. What can I do here?"

Vixry smiles. "Don't worry about landing a job, Loki. I'll take care of that. You just worry about the baby. My current job pays enough for about four people, to be honest, Loki. Besides, you're the one pregnant. I'll be the one who is going to wear the pants in this relationship and you are not going to talk me out of it. Got it?"

Loki laughs. "Okay, I accept your terms. In that case, what can I do in my spare time? Starting tomorrow, I will start preparing for our son's arrival, then."

"Yeah, this is going to be so much fun Loki, you have no idea. This makes me so happy I could cry."

Loki got upset because he thought that Vixry would actually cry. "Please, Vixry, don't cry. I didn't mean to upset you in any way. I am sorry."

"No, Loki, don't worry. I could cry but it's happy tears, you see. Now, I have a baby on the horizon, and I have someone to look after. This is by far the best day of my life."

"Is it, Vixry?"

"Yes, it is Loki."

Both fell on a comfortable silence. As while Loki looks out at the foreign sky above him, Vixry looks at him and then her yellow/green eyes landed on his belly. She was anxious to touch it but knew that currently, she would not feel anything at the moment. She picks up the drink that was located near her, along with a book that she was reading.

"So, Loki, can I ask you something else?" Vixry asks, a little scared of what his response would be.

"Yes, you may," Loki responds.

"I hope you don't get mad at me for asking, Loki."

Loki's eyebrows rose up in surprise, then to confusion. "What makes you say that?

"Well, the question is, I really want to meet your family."

At this, Loki looks away from Vixry's gaze.

"No, they are a forbidden topic. They dislike me, Vixry. And I don't want them near me or my baby. Especially the oaf of my older brother, Thor."

Vixry's ears perked up on the name of Thor.

"Did you say, Thor?"

Loki nods."Yes, I did. Why? Does it sound familiar to you?"

"It does ring a bell, but I can't put a finger on it. Maybe it will come to me, someday if my brain corporates with me."

"Well, as far as I know, he hasn't ventured this far in the universe. I may be wrong, knowing how adventurous and social he is."

Vixry laughs out loud. "Oh, Loki. Well, I am sorry I have asked."

"Don't worry about it. I am sure that everyone has a few skeletons in their closets, right?"

Vixry agrees. "Yes, Loki. If you only knew how many I have buried in my own. You would never hear the end of that list, to be honest with you."

"You have done some bad things in your life?"

"Yes, Loki, I have, and most of them weren't exactly nice. I have gone through so many bad things, that I am surprised that I am still living."

Loki, concerned for his female companion, asks, "What do you mean? Do you mean you killed others?"

Vixry nods, hesitantly. "I actually have killed a good number of living beings with these two hands, Loki. How can I now hold an innocent baby, a child who hasn't done wrong, with these murderous hands?"

And with that, she gets up from her spot next to Loki's, through tears she runs towards what Loki assumes in the restroom.

Quickly, Loki gets up and knocks at the closed door of the room Vixry was in.

"Vixry? Please, I am sorry I have asked. Don't cry. I apologize for my previous question."

Loki hears some movement from the other side of the door. He assumes that the female was doing something.
"Vixry? Can you open the door and can we talk?"

Moments later, she responds. "Just, hold on a second Loki."

Loki hears that she stopped crying. Seconds later, she opens the doors. And although she indeed stopped crying, her eyes were blood red and her cheeks were tear stained. Loki proceeds to hug her, and she hugs him back in return.

"I am so sorry that I reacted that way," Vixry says as she wipes her faces from her crying with her hands.

"Don't worry about it. I apologize for asking something so sensitive to you," Loki says.

"It's okay, you didn't know. Besides, I am glad that I have someone to talk to. So many centuries of loneliness was taking its toll on me. And now I have you and our son to think about."

This made Loki smile. "I am glad that you're happy now."

"Well, Loki, now it is time for some dinner. Do you have some cravings for something in particular?"

Loki wanted to say that he was craving some Midgardian food but he assumed that Vixry doesn't know that planet.

"Well, to be honest with you. I am craving something but I am pretty sure that it doesn't exist here on this planet."

"Oh really? Try me Loki and you will watch some magic happen before your own very eyes."

"Magic? Please, I have magic myself running through my very veins. What kind of magic am I going to see that I haven't know about."

"You'll see Loki. Just name what you want to eat, regardless of planets or universes, and you will have it in your hands."

Loki smiles. "You can do that?"

"Yes, I can, among a few other abilities I possess. So, what are your cravings?"

"Well, I am craving some hamburgers with some large fries, a very large soda and with some ketchup."

"Coming right up."

With a few and quick movements of her fingers, she made Loki's request of food appear before him, already prepared fresh and sure it smelled delicious.

Loki's stomach growled in response to the food.

"Oh, lord. Thank you Vixry for the food. I was getting hungry for a while ago."

"And why didn't you say something?"

"Well, first off, I didn't know you could do this. And I was nervous to say that I was hungry."

"Now, you know what I can conjure up. Now, eat up before it gets cold. As for me, I will eat some sushi. It has been a while since I ate some," Vixry says before making a large plate of sushi appear before her, along with some red wine.

Both Loki and Vixry eat in silence.

About twenty minutes later, both are done with their food.

"Thanks for the dinner, Vixry," Loki says as he finishes his drink.

"You're very welcome Loki. So, do you want to do anything?"

"What do you normally do after you eat?"

"Well, I either watch some TV, read a book, or take a shower. And sometimes, I'll do all three, depending on my mood."

Loki smirks. His mind races when Vixry mentions about the shower. "So, do you have a sort of pool here?"

Vixry smirks back. "Yes, I do Loki. Want to join me?"

"It would be my pleasure."
