Got this chapter up, with the reunion between Loki and her parents, with her husband and children also meeting her parents.
The door to the palace throne room opened as Odin and Frigga looked on with excitement at seeing their daughter again, as well as nervousness at seeing their daughter again. When one of the guards arrived not even 15 minutes ago and was informed by Heimdall that Thor and the rest of the group were back from Nirn and Loki was also with them, with three others that were with the group. As the two sat there waiting, both Odin and Frigga were absolutely terrified that once they see their daughter again, she would want nothing to do with them ever again and they would never see her again.
And while one reason why Loki left was because she was lied to her whole life about her heritage, Odin had a gut feeling from the memory the golem showed about, was also what he also had a feeling the true reason why she left, was because she must of overheard how he was going to wed her off to some Noble man that was the largest in producing grain for the mead Asgard drinks, with said man also being three times her age with children that were even older than Loki, all to benefit Asgard, but mainly himself, while Loki wanted to marry for love. And that wasn't even the first time he tried to wed her off to benefit Asgard and himself, but the guilt of trying to wed her off more than once has been eating at him for years, even when Frigga ordered him to call off every singe arrangement, the guilt still never went away.
As the two, and some of the servants and courts members watched as the doors continued opening, to reveal Thor and his friends, along with a large looking man in a fur jacket that with a change of clothes, he could easily pass off as an Asgardian, along with two little girls that happened to be fraternal twins around the age of three, with the last person that entered the room had Frigga and Odin holding their breaths as they saw Loki enter the room, only she looked more on the mature, but was also was around 6 months pregnant.
As soon as the group was close enough to the throne, and before Thor could kneel to his King and father, Frigga didn't give him the chance as wasted no time in running past her son and over to her daughter to hug her. "LOKI!" Frigga shouted in joy at seeing her daughter.
"Mother." Loki said in return, hugging Frigga.
And then, Frigga took a strong notice to the man that could pass off as an Asgardian and the two little girls. "And who are they?" she questioned her daughter, hoping they are who she thinks they are.
"Mother. This is my husband Ulfric." Loki said. "And these are our daughters Sofie and Lucia."
To her surprise and her amusement at the shocked look on Ulfric's face when Frigga hugged him in excitement at having a son-in-law. Followed by Frigga hugging both her granddaughters in excitement at finally being a grandmother and having two granddaughters to spoil, and another grandchild on the way for her to spoil. Of course, while Frigga was busy hugging her new son-in-law and granddaughters, Loki noticed Odin, sitting on his throne with a neutral expression on his face, an expression that Loki wasn't sure what it was, but she was really hoping that it wasn't something bad.
What Odin did next though, was placing Gunginr next to his throne and walked down the steps and over to his daughter, and what he did had Loki very much surprised. What he done was that he hugged her, something that Loki knew and remembered he hasn't done since she was a small child, so it was quite a surprise for her that she awkwardly hugged him. Though Odin didn't really seem to notice how awkward this was for Loki, on account this was his actual daughter he was hugging and not a fake in her place.
After a few minutes of, he was stopped hugging her, with Odin turning towards the servants and court members and said to them, "Send an announcement to all of Asgard that there is to be a grand feast tonight and an all day celebration tomorrow in honor of the return of Asgard's Princess and the newest additions to the royal family." With said servants and court members quickly leaving the room to do so.
Eventually, everyone was finally able to leave the throne room to relax, though Odin left before they all did, probably to do some of his kingly stuff. So that left the avenger, the warriors 4, Thor, Frigga, and Loki & her family to get some rest, and then for them to get ready for the large feast that was happening later on that night. Now while Thor went to his chambers, and the avengers went to their guest chambers, Loki led her husband and children to her chambers, which from what she remembered was a small room that was smaller than Thor's living space, with the bathroom not even a fourth of the size.
"I hope you don't mind, but my room is on the smaller side compared to Thor's room, with the bed actually being smaller than our bed, so it might be on the tight side with us and the girls sleeping on it." Loki said to her husband.
"It's not the first time I had to sleep where there is a small amount of space." Ulfric replied. And then, when Ulfric opened the door to Loki's room, "Didn't you just say your room was small?" Ulfric replied, confused at what he saw.
This caused Loki to be confused when she looked past Ulfric and looked into her room and saw that it was NOT like what she remembered. "How? What?" she started, "my room was never this big or spacious." Followed by Loki and her family walking into her room. "This living space WAS about the size of my room. I never even HAD a living space." Followed by opening a door to a room full of her trophies and her weapons she had to make herself over the years, and on a mannequin was her ceremonial armor that only wears for certain occasions, with her helmet also on display. Along with that room was another room that was a small library for all her books with a desk and a bookshelf just for her journals, with the last room she had in her room was a room just for the Lucia and Sofie.
"I never had a room just for my trophies, along with space to put my armor and weapons on display. I had to always keep those in a chest that I enchanted to never run out of room. I never even had my own private library. All the books I had, I had to place on my only bookshelf or had to leave books laying around or also place those in another enchanted chest. At least the girls have their own room." Loki said, with Loki taking a look at the room for Sofie and Lucia, with them having each there own closets and a bathroom for them.
Then when Loki opened another door, this one led to the master bedroom, which was her and Ulfric's room, with her bed being even bigger than their bed back home in Skyrim. With said room having a grand master bathroom for them, along with the both each having their own closet (though she did see her old clothes that she can no longer fit into in there). Not only Loki was speechless that her old room was changed up and enlarged like Thor's room to not only accommodate her, but also her husband and daughters. But she also had a suspicious feeling that Odin and Frigga were trying to possibly 'bribe' her into staying on Asgard, but Loki knew she needed to explain to them that she was only staying for three weeks, with Ulfric staying the first week, while she and her daughters were staying the rest of the two weeks.
Settling the girls down for a nap on their bed, and while the two toddlers were napping, Ulfric and Loki decided that they too should get some rest before the feast, though Ulfric had to ask what to expect. "What are the feasts of Asgard like?"
"Big and loud and full of drunks." Loki replied back. "We will have to wear Asgardian based outfits for the feast, since this is in honor of me returning to Asgard with you and the girls being the newest additions to the royal family. The feast itself will be having numerous types of food and there will be tons of drinking with Asgardian mead, which is quite potent to mortals more so than how nord mead is to anyone that isn't a Nord. And with all that drinking, people have bit of a tendency to not act the way they normally would, along with saying things they normally don't and usually say behind that persons back, so don't be surprised if you hear anyone talk bad about me, since its usually the mead that makes their tongues looser.
"Of course, sometimes brawls do happen, and that is usually when someone insults someone else, or some random man makes a pass at a woman who is married and her husband goes to defend his wife. With the worse thing that could happen is someone actually trying to attack someone else if the brawls get that terrible, with those brawls sometimes leading to someone getting badly injured or even killed. That by-far is the worst thing that could happen, but I highly doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out in case that could happen." Loki said. "Though there are quite the number of women who always hated me and would try and 'convince' you to leave me for them."
The two then decided to take a nap themselves to rest up before the feast, when a about an hour or two before the feast started, a knock was heard, causing Loki to wake up, and when she opened the door, not only Frigga was there, but also had quite the number clothing in her arms, which made Loki wonder how her adopted mother could carry all that clothes in her arms. Opening the door wider to let her mother into the room, Ulfric walked into the room with the girls, who were now awake and just as confused as Loki.
"Mother?" Loki questioned as said woman was now placing the clothes into a large pile on the table, "What are you doing with those clothes?"
"Not only you all need clothes for the feast, but also to replace the ones you already have, along with some Asgardian based clothes for your husband. And I finally have grandchildren to spoil, with the rest of the clothes for my granddaughters." Frigga replied. "I even already have your outfits picked out." And with a 'flick' of her hand, Loki, Sofie, & Lucia's clothes were changed to that of Asgardian based clothes instead of Nordic based. While a set of armor for Ulfric appeared on the table, next to the clothes that Frigga brought in.
While Frigga started placing the clothes for both her son-in-law and her daughter in their room, followed by placing the clothes for her granddaughters in their room. Both twins were running around the living space, clearly enjoying their new matching forest green dresses that Loki noticed how much it resembled a dress that she wore a lot as a child, while both parents on the other-hand, looked at their new outfits differently than their daughters. For Loki, she noticed how much her dress was not only similar to one that she favored and wore more than her other dresses, with said dress she favored had the same emerald shade of green that nearly matched her eyes, though the difference between the two was that this was a maternity styled dress.
As for Ulfric, he noticed that the armor he was given was a mix of silver and blue and looked as though it could be placed over his own outfit, but found that he wouldn't be able to wear his fur jacket. Though he noticed that it looked as though it would be on the difficult side to put on since this armor was unfamiliar to him, along with him noticing that there was no cape, which he was content with not having. And while he was trying to figure out how to get the armor on, Loki sat on the couch and began fixing the girls' hair, with them both having the braids in their hair resembling that of a crown, followed by Loki fixing her own hair, only she couldn't decide what do with her hair, so she decided to leave it down with some braids mixed in here and there.
When Loki looked over at her husband, she noticed the he was still trying to figure out how his armor goes on. Getting up from the couch, she walked over to Ulfric. "Here let me." As she grabbed the chest piece that also went with the back piece and began hooking all the belts and straps that went with it. "When I was still living in Asgard, I too also had to wear armor like this, and after centuries of wearing it, I've learned how to put it on and take it off without any help." Followed by grabbing both the armbands for the upper part of his arms to be put on, followed by the her grabbing the other armbands for the lower arms being put o. And after viewing the armor on him, Ulfric had to admit, he could easily pass off as an Asgardian.
Once everyone was ready to go, and Frigga was done putting the clothes away, the five then left for the feast, hoping that nothing bad will happen. But to Loki, she had a feeling that something bad would most likely happen, whether she liked it or not.
Well, Loki got to see her parents again and introduce her husband and daughters to them. Up next is the feast, and maybe there will be something bad that happens, or not.
