Amelia opened her eyes to the sound of giggling. She sat up and saw that Loki was chasing Addy and Tristan around the room. She sat up and stretched. She didn't even realize that she had fallen asleep at nap time too. She watched as Loki picked up Tristan and slung him over his shoulder. Tristan kicked and screamed while giggling. Addy had stopped running to laugh at Tristan being caught. Her green eyes grew wide when Loki turned towards her. Addy looked towards Amelia and saw that she was awake. She ran towards her.
"Mommy mommy save me save me." She jumped onto the bed.
Amelia pulled Addy into her arms. "Oh no is the tickle monster after you?"
Addy nodded hiding herself under the covers. Loki laughed and stalked towards the bed. Addy was peeking her eyes out the top and she screamed as Loki grew closer to her. He turned Tristan around and put him on his shoulders.
"Uh oh Tristan should we go get mommy and sissy?"
Tristan giggled and clapped his hands. "Yeah yeah."
Amelia pulled Addy onto her lap. "Oh no Addy there are 2 tickle monsters now."
Loki set Tristan down at the end of the bed and pulled up the covers. "Go get Addy."
Tristan giggled and crawled under the covers. Addy screamed when his head popped up next to hers. Tristan giggled and tickled her. Loki sat down next to Amelia and they watched their children tickle each other. Amelia leaned over to them.
"Hey do you know who is the most ticklish?" She pointed to Loki.
Addy and Tristan both displayed the devilish smirk they got from their father. They both jumped on Loki at the same time. Loki let them knock him flat on the bed and tickle him. He closed his eyes and lay still. They stopped and looked at Amelia.
"Uh oh is daddy dead?" Amelia said.
Tristan poked Loki. Nothing happened and nobody moved. Addy and Tristan got really close, looking to see if he would move. Loki snapped his eyes open and grabbed the both of them into his arms. They screamed and squealed in delight. Loki held both of them tight against him and rained kisses down on them. There was a knock at the door. Amelia got up off the bed to go answer it while Loki continued to attack the kids with kisses. Amelia opened the door and Liam was there. Amelia let him in the room.
"Addy, Tristan did you see who is here." She said.
They squirmed out of Loki's arms and ran to their uncle. Liam picked up Tristan and Addy clung to his leg. Amelia was amazed at how taken they were to her siblings after only a week with them. While Tristan was an adventurous and friendly little guy Addy was extremely shy with people she didn't know. This had been the first time she had seen her siblings in person since right after Addy was born. Loki and Amelia didn't think it was safe to go back down to Midgard again and it took a long time for Odin to allow her family to come here. Amelia had been with Loki on Asgard for almost 5 years now and she was still unsure about Odin. Sure he wasn't mean to her and he was good to his grandkids but she still never felt any warm fuzzies from him.
Liam strode across the room to the couch with Addy still attached to his leg. He sat down and she climbed into his lap where Tristan was. Amelia sat down next to Liam as he started to tell them a story about when he and Amelia were kids. Loki stood back and watched them all. He thought about all of the terrible things he had done and how stupid he felt for having done them. He looked at his wife and his children and thought about how lucky he was. He did not deserve a woman so wonderful and kind yet she chose to love him. He looked at his son and his daughter. They were the lights of his life. There was nothing he would not do for them. How different his life had become. He thought about how different it could have been if he had not ran into Amelia that day on the street. He looked up and saw she was looking at him. She could see that he was deep in thought. She knew that look. She held out her hand and he came and took it. He sat on the back of the couch holding her hand while Liam told his story. She leaned her head back against him and he smiled down at her. Loki got that feeling he did every time she looked at him like that. Her love had warmed the Frost Giant in him. He brought her hand up his lips and kissed it. She reached back and put her hand on his thigh giving it a squeeze. 6 years later and they were still crazy about each other.

Mimir sat on his icy throne. Bergelmir paced in front of him.
"When can we strike?" he asked.
Mimir was calm. "When the time is right."
"What does that mean? I want his blood now. I want to feel his blood on my hands and I want to see the look on his face when I kill his family in front of him."
Mimir smiled and leaned back. "Do not worry my friend. Prince Loki will feel our wrath soon enough."
