The Little Surprise
Chapter 5- Felicity's First Day Off
Felicity was walking around looking like a zombie; Frigga went to talk to her. Yes she was the proud mother of triplets and managed to survive the birth of all three but she also needed some time alone so that she didn't lose her own identity. Loki had time off whenever he was sparing with the others but Felicity didn't have that release.
Frigga and her personal maid Marie found Felicity and the babies in her chambers, she hardly left the anymore. She didn't even join them at meal times, Loki did but Felicity didn't. Frigga couldn't believe what she saw. Felicity looked like she was half dead. She had lost loads of weight due to hardly eating.
Frigga looked at Marie "Go get Tessa and bring Loki to me" she walked over to Felicity who was just staring at the triplets; Arlo turned over and hit SoShy in the face which made her cry. Felicity just sighed. Frigga gently hit her hands away. She picked SoShy up "Sshh its okay princess, your brother is just a wriggly little guy. You'll get him back when you guys are older" SoShy stopped crying and just stared at her grandmother.
Tessa came back and straight away she knew why she had been called "Felicity, my dear, let me take care of you. You can't look after your babies in this state" Felicity went to stand up but her Tessa push her back down into the chair "I don't even think you could stand up right now"
Marie came back with Loki, Frigga just looked at him, he looked refreshed, and he didn't even look like a new father to triplets. Frigga handed him SoShy "take SoShy into my chambers. I shall bring Arlo and Lucius" Loki looked confused, he then looked over at Felicity who was being fussed over by Tessa "what is going on mother?"
Frigga looked at him "Felicity is exhausted; she has lost loads of weight and can't even stand. She is unfit to look after the babies, so I am giving her today and tomorrow off so that she can sort herself out. Why haven't you noticed this Loki?" Loki started to feel guilty "I haven't really seen her; she doesn't share my bed any longer. She never leaves that chair" Loki walked over to Felicity, he bent down "I am so sorry my love, please get better. We can't lose you" Loki kissed her forehead.
He left the room carrying SoShy; she just looked up at him with the look that read 'who the hell are you' Loki hadn't spent much time with his family; he was too busy keeping up appearances. He felt bad; he didn't want to miss out on the important milestones of his children's lives. He was going to change his ways.
He sat down in a chair in his mothers' chambers, SoShy started to kick her feet "what's wrong little one?" Frigga walked in with Arlo and Lucius "you need to start thinking about your family Loki, they need you and Felicity needs you know than ever" Loki nodded, SoShy stopped fussing "she stopped" Frigga nodded "she knows when her brothers are and aren't around her. They all do. They fuss when one of them is missing" Loki looked down at her, her big green eyes staring at him "I just hope her brothers don't hate her for having the trait"
Frigga sighed "They won't cause you and Felicity will raise them not to and when they are told, when they are older. It will be their choice on how they react but she will still be loved by everyone in this palace and realm" Loki kiss her forehead "She will always be loved by me and Felicity"
Frigga smiled "that's all she needs to know my love, as long as she has one person loving her unconditionally then she will be fine, you turned out just fine thank you very much. I had to watch you and Thor grow up and turn into the handsome men you've become and fall in love" Loki smiled "I know that Feli saved me from myself when father told me"
Frigga watched the boys "I showed her and the outcome wasn't pretty Loki, No mother should ever see her son in a cell. That is why I am so thankful for Felicity. You may of seen yourself as a monster but she has always seen the amazing person you are inside whether you are blue or pale"
Loki looked down at SoShy "She will be an amazing woman blue or pale. She will be raised just as I was, but I have a feeling that she won't carry the gift of magic. I think her brothers got that part of me" Frigga looked at Lucius who started to fuss, she then moved him closer to Arlo "Frost Giants have their own magic Loki, she might discover that when she is in danger than she might change into her Jötun self. None of know what will happen"
Tessa put the blanket over Felicity; she had given her something to help her sleep. For the next 48 hours Felicity wasn't a mom of triplets, she was just Felicity an Asgardian lady, free to do whatever she felt like well within reason. She started to dream about what her wedding would be like. Felicity was allowed to have time off from being a full time mother and just be herself. She had triplets her sanity would soon be affected if it hadn't been already.
Felicity woke up a few hours later feeling refreshed, she then held her empty stomach. She walked into the kitchens, there was already a plate made up of her favourite dishes. She slowly ate knowing her stomach wouldn't be used to food. She thanked the chef for the amazing food and left the kitchens.
Felicity walked outside, she walked to the stables. She used to love horse riding. She used to go riding with Loki when he wasn't of fighting monsters but she didn't have time for that now since the triplets came and also Loki became more controlling of her. Felicity didn't mind, it just proved to her that he saw her more as his lover than a friend.
Felicity slowly mounted her horse and went for a slow trot around the gardens. She missed this. She missed having time to herself. She had to admit that she needed this time away from her babies. She did miss them but she was starting to question her own health.
Felicity sat on her horse and watched the birds fly around in the sky; she heard hooves behind her and knew she had company. The white horse stood beside hers "I'm surprise to see you out here without your escort Lady Felicity" Felicity smiled "I'm having some me time Fandral, my sanity wasn't slowly going" Fandral laughed and so did Felicity. "Well I'm glad that you are getting that back, we did wonder if you had any left you know being friends with the prince"
Felicity looked at him "you are just jealous, that I have a friendship that you wish you had" Fandral laughed "I have a great friendship with Hogun, Volgstaff and of course Lady Sif" Felicity smiled "Speaking of Lady Sif, I do recall you being very close at the engagement announcement" Fandral cleared his throat "you must have been mistaken my lady" Felicity laughed "Really? You are going to sit that and lie to me. I am surprised at you Fandral seeing as you are fully aware of my betroths silver tongue"
Fandral smiled "Alright Lady Felicity, you caught me. Yes but only because I haven't found a maiden I haven't already charmed. There are only 3 in the whole of Asgard, the queen of course, Lady Sif and yourself. I know fully that Loki would kill me slowly if I ever tried anything on with you"
Felicity nodded "He would, Thor told me that he almost ripped your head off when I hurt myself that time with my dagger" Fandral shook his head "It was his own damn fault, choosing that temptress over such a beauty as yourself" Felicity looked at the sun slowly start to set "I think he has learnt the errors of his ways. I think I am ready to fully forgive him" they slowly rode back to the stables.
They slowly walked into the palace "I really enjoyed our conversation Fandral, thank you. I don't really get to talk to anyone, anymore" Fandral nodded "Me too, I'm always here to listen my lady" they went their separate ways. Today was the first time in weeks that Felicity was actually going to join everyone for dinner. Frigga and Marie would be watching the triplets so that Loki could also join Felicity for supper.
