Last chapter, guys! Sorry you have to wait for so long for this chapter. I had several things to do that I had to steal some times to write this chapter down. Yeah, I'm not going to write a long author note, so let's start the last chapter now. Enjoy!

The day that Thor promised him had come, yet Loki still wasn't able to think of any other way to have his sons. Once he let go of all his powers, he wouldn't be able to speak with them anymore. His family would be dispersed. He was okay with leaving his wives, because he never did love them. But his kids, he loved them so dearly. The stubbornness and greed in him wouldn't let him give up his sons who always supported him with all their might.

"Jormugandr, Fenrir," Loki called his sons. Both heard that their father wanted to talk to them seriously and so they went to him quickly.

"Yes, father," they said in union. Yamino realized the his father had called him in his real name. It had to be something very serious then. He prepared himself to listen carefully.

"If... If we couldn't talk again like this, what would you two feel?" Loki asked. It was a question he, too, wanted to answer. But, his answer would be so melancholy that he, once a God of Mischief, felt annoyed by his thought.

"I would be sad," Fenrir said. "I always want to tell you about my days and I wanted you to know what I want to eat or where I want you to take me. But, I also know this question you asked me right now is regarding the power that Thor want to take from you, Father, and so, even thought it would be sad, I think it will be alright. You know, we never really talked when you were still in Asgard. I could just admire you from far, but now, I know you not just by talking to you. And so, it will be okay," Fenrir said. "That's what I thought."

Yamino looked at Fenrir in admiration and surprised, he couldn't believe that his selfish brother would say that. And though Loki hid it really well, he, too, was shocked by Fenrir's words. He felt tears started dwelling in his eyes. In the past, he wedded Angrboda just to had kids to mess up Asgard, they were just his toys. When he was sent to Midgard by Odin so that he wouldn't bring Ragnarok closer to the Gods, he let his son became his servant. His son, Fenrir was right, he started to learn love when he came in Midgard, before he just thought of them of his play things.

"Father, I, too, felt the same way as my brother. I want to be by your side and protect you, I want to talk to you, and of course I want our family to be together again. But, none of it had any use if one of us is not happy. For us, your happiness is all that matter. We are just dreadful creatures, so we may not ask for anything. But, you give us life and love. It is surely enough for us. Don't hesitate, Father," Jormugandr said.

"The two of you always talks about my happiness and all about me. But, I'm not ready to be separated from both of you again. The two of you has become my happiness, too. How could you say that not talking to me would be okay? What if I ever need you?" Loki asked them.

"Father, do you remember how you pass this whole five years?" Jormugandr asked. "You always said something to us. We listened and we understood. We answered your questions, but also sure that you didn't hear our words. However, we also thought that you actually knew what answers we had for you. Strange, but we were sure of it," Jormugandr said. "We are connected, Father. Not just by the blood. But, our hearts are connected to each other also."

Loki's eyes widened. 'Our hearts are connected, it had always been like that. This whole time...,' he thought. He turned away from his sons for a moment.

"Thus, we didn't need to talk to understand each other, Father," said Fenrir. "Because the hearts understand."

Suddenly, there was someone knocking on Loki's door. Loki rose up from his seat and headed towards the door. "Yes, coming!" he said.

Loki opened the door. It was Thor, he was carrying Mayura in his arms.

"What happened to Mayura?" Loki asked Thor. "Did you do something to her?"

"Hey, relax. I found her on my way here. She was just in front of your house when I found her, pale-looking and unconscious," Thor said. "Have you decided? I would be here until the sun sets."

Loki didn't listen to him at all. He took Mayura from Thor's arm and brought her to his bed. He put his palm on her forehead, feeling her body temperature.

"Thor, bring the cold water and a towel here!" Loki ordered Thor. "She is sick!"

Thor got the bowl filled up with cold water and gave it to Loki, then he searched for a clean towel. After he got it, he quickly delivered it to Loki.

Thor remembered that Mayura had her basket with her. He opened the basket and found foods inside it. "Loki, there is so many foods here! They looked so tasty too!"

"Don't eat it!" cried Loki. "She would want to eat after she woke up."

Thor stayed away from the food and sat on one of Loki's chair. He watched Loki as Loki was still by the bed side, waiting for Mayura to wake up. Loki held her hand tightly. There was one time when she was close enough to death because of fever. He, too, used to think that fever would never be anything dangerous before the incident, but after the incident happened, he always got worried every time she had a fever.

Yamino stayed on the bed with Mayura, and Fenrir watched her from the bed side. The two looked at their father who was worried sick about his lover.

The house was so silent that Thor finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Cut it out!" he shouted. The three who were so worried about Mayura was surprised by Thor's sudden shout. "Let me get this done quickly." Thor opened one of his bottle and gave it to Loki. "A medicine, it supposed to work on humans," said he.

Loki nodded. He took the bottle from Thor and poured the liquid in Mayura's mouth. He sighed.

"She'll be alright," Thor convinced him. "You've changed a lot, Loki. I remembered when you were still a God, you never showed this kind of affections to other people, including your now beloved kids. Midgard has changed you a lot."

"I know," Loki replied.

"You're much softer now and you rarely does evil things. I, Thor, am very happy that you change into a good person," Thor said and laughed.

Loki looked at Thor and threw a quick smile. "You never know when I do the evil things."

"You are still good at jokes!" Thor laughed again and this time, louder.

"Don't laugh too loud, I want her to sleep in peace!" Loki snapped at Thor. Thor was silent a second later.

The old friends chatted about their old days, played chess, and chatted again until the sun was heading west. It was the longest chat they had ever had. It was a warm talk, without the mockery or rage in it. It was just a talk between friends, or rather a family. Since Loki shared Odin's blood, Thor was actually his nephew. But, they preferred to be friends rather than family.

"Uh...," Mayura moaned. Loki diverted his eyes to Mayura immediately and he went to her bed side.

"Mayura, you okay?" he asked. "Do you want to eat?"

Mayura slowly opened her eyes. She looked at her surrounding and she knew that she was in Loki's place.

"Mayura? Are you okay? Do you want to eat?" Loki asked once again. She nodded.

Loki fed her slowly. He smiled a lot because he knew that she was okay.

"Thanks," Loki said to Thor.

"Oh yeah, I need your answer, soon," Thor reminded Loki.

Loki told Thor to follow him. They were outside Loki's house and both were looking at the sun which was setting soon.

"Your answer?" Thor asked.

"I'll let go of the power. But, wouldn't you give me some special gifts for our friendship?" Loki asked.

"What is it?"

"Just let me have the gift of language, so I may speak in any language. Of course in the language of animals as well," Loki said.

"Isn't that mean you can't let go of your power?" Thor asked.

"That's why, I'm asking a gift from you, O Mighty Thor!" Loki knew that Thor loved to be praised.

"Stupid!" Thor exclaimed. Loki's eyes widened in surprise.

"What?" he questioned Thor. "What did you just say?"

"I said 'stupid', idiot!" Thor said. Loki still had his questioned look in his face, Thor sighed deeply and said. "Listen well, O Loki, once the doer of good and the doer of evil, we, Gods, only wanted to take your rune power, all the magic items, and all the power you have, but not including your family. Understand!" Thor explained.

"But, why? The tongue that speaks of all languages is also power...," Loki asked him curiously.

"The price of that tongue. It was already paid today-before I came here. And to give you the second chance to be a God, it's not us who wanted it. Someone requested it from us, because she felt that you were worthy to be a God. Well, she was quite right since you saved several of us who should've been dead back then..." Thor scratched his chin.

"Who?"

"O silly. You didn't even know who!" Thor laughed. "One of your kids,... Hel! She said to the Gods that she wouldn't let death easily comes approaching us. We are still able to die, but not that easy," Thor said. "That's a great trade!"

"Hel, my daughter...," Loki muttered softly. "Thank you."

"Now, I'm off. Don't forget to rebuild that house of yours. After today, the magic you put in it won't hold on," Thor said. "Be well, brother!"

Loki looked at Thor's vanishing figure and he turned himself around to go back into his own house.

"Father...," suddenly a voice called him. Loki turned to see the one who called him.

"Hel...," he muttered.

"Are you happy? I cannot stay by your side. This is the only thing I can do for you," she said.

"Very happy, Hel. Thank you. Come here, let me give you a hug," Loki said. "Will you come on my wedding day?"

"I'm not sure, father. But, maybe, I will. Father, I'm happy that after a long time, finally I can stay by your side for a while," Hel said. She was smiling.

"Be sure to come. It's been a long time since your brother saw you, too," Loki said.

Hel nodded. "It's time for me to go, I have my job," she excused herself and gradually vanished into the air.

Loki entered his house. He still heard his kids chatting. Mayura was laughing because of Fenrir's silly behaviour and he walked towards her. He smiled at her. He was so contented that he couldn't hold himself from kissing her, right in front of his kids. Both went away because their face turned red whenever they saw their father having romantic moments with his lover, they just couldn't stand the atmosphere.

"Father can't hear us now," Fenrir said.

"Yeah, it feels so lonely," Yamino added.

Actually, Fenrir and Yamino didn't hate seeing their father having the romantic atmosphere. They just didn't like that he knew they were watching. So, they actually loved to peek on him. They never thought that their father always knew when they peek, that time, Loki glanced at the door which was slightly opened.

"He knew!" Fenrir muttered.

Loki stopped kissing Mayura and went towards the door and opened it.

"Father can't hear us now," Loki mimicked his son, Fenrir. "Yeah, it feels so lonely," Loki mimicked Yamino.

The sons jaw dropped. They couldn't believe that their father still heard them.

"F-F-Father!" Both shouted.

"But how?" Yamino asked.

"Hel, your sister, helped me," Loki said.

"Loki, what are you doing there?" Mayura called him.

"Nothing, I just want to take them inside!" he replied to Mayura. And then turned to his sons, "I'll tell you later about it. Let's come inside, my son. We need to get ready for tomorrow."

Both of them nodded.

'It is a happy ending, indeed.'

Hel smiled.

END.

Hurray!

Finished! It's done! You know I finished it in the middle of test days, because studying had become so boring, I wrote this. Actually I planned to write after the test days are over. But, if I waited that long, I would forget all the plot I have for this chapter.

Actually, I planned to make Loki and his sons connected by hearts, that's why the first parts dialogs were about connecting hearts. But, in the middle of the story, I want Hel to have parts in this fic. And also, I couldn't let Loki suffered because of his sons (I like Loki so much, you know... XD). Then, I decided that I'll give him the tongue that speaks any language. Do you realize that I didn't give him the ears? LOL.

Alright, I think that's enough.
