Chapter 7

"Kelda, my love, I am so sorry for crying for mother like a baby." Loki whispered. She saw that he looked worried that he would be made fun of for being a cry baby. For Thor's friends would always laugh at him when he would start crying out of frustration and when he had his feelings hurt. She wanted to hug him so badly, but she knew she couldn't, "Loki, my love, have I ever made fun of you for crying?" Kelda asked. Loki shook his head for he couldn't speak. She kisses his lips while little Haiden Loki plays with his daddy's hair for he is no longer gumming his finger. His little hand touches his father's face. He maybe a baby but he knew that his daddy was sad about something. "Look Loki, your son is worried about you. You should let him know that you are alright." Frigga said. He pulled his lips from Kelda's and he looks at his son, "Haiden, baby, da…daddy's okay. I promise my son, I am okay your mommy and grandmamma as well the healer is taking very good care me." Loki said. Kelda smiled at her two favorite boys, "Prince Loki, I will need you to hold very still for I am going to put some salve and strips of cloth on the lash marks. This may hurt." The healer said. Loki had braced himself, but the amount pain was very difficult to shallow. He wrapped his arms around Kelda and his son. She also held on to him and she whispers words of comfort. He hissed into her shoulder. The healer started to do her work the she hit a particularly sensitive spot and he began to black out. "Loki, my love, please stay with me! Please don't leave me and our son!" Kelda begged. The healer looked up, "Dear he will be fine. He is far from Hel's doors. He will not die." Kelda looked at the healer, "I hope you are right. I don't know what I would do if I lost him." Eir shook her head, "My dear you are young and have much to learn. He will be there with you I promise."

"I hope you are right." Kelda said. "Darling I am almost never wrong." She said with a smile, "Let the poor boy sleep it off." Kelda nodded, but she didn't want to leave him alone for she didn't trust the guards, she couldn't tend to Loki with her son here with her. Frigga came up, "Let me see my grandson we can go for a walk in the garden while you stay here and tend to him, but don't forget to get some rest as well." Kelda gets up and she hand Haiden Loki to his grandmamma and he she sits next to Loki stroking sweat dampen hair out of his face.
