The gifts fate

Chapter 7

"Seems like the mighty Gods have given you a gift…" the Healer told Loki with a smile. Loki was brought to the healing room, after throwing up several times, by Thor. Though Loki didn't need an answer to know what has happened.

"It seems so…" he mumbled, stroking over his lightly swollen belly.

"You're a lucky one." Another Healer said. Loki nodded.

The Healers left Loki to himself after making sure, the baby was healthy and Loki had everything he wanted.

Loki looked down at his belly.

"Hey there…if you can hear me, I want you to know, that no matter what happens I will always love you. You're my savior and I'll make sure you have a happy life. You won't end like me. I'll make sure of that. Never forget who you are." He whispered.

"I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Just like you promised…amazing…" Thor smiled as he stroked over Loki's belly.

Loki smiled at the prince, it was actually an honest smile. He always loved children and always dreamed about having his own, no matter whom the father might be. He'd love his children.

"I told you I'd give you an heir." Loki chuckled.

Thor smiled happily, pulling the Jotun close to kiss him.

"But I'm afraid someone might harm the baby, because of its mother…" Loki mumbled.

Thor looked at Loki confused before he got it.

"No one will dare to hurt neither you nor the child." Thor growled protectively.

"Are you sure?" Loki asked worried.

"I'll make sure." Thor answered.

"My prince…" Loki whispered and laid his arms around Thor's neck to pull him close.

"Loki…" Thor breathed before laying his lips on the Jotun's blue ones.

"Loki, I have to tell you something." Thor confessed.

"W-What is it?" Loki asked, expecting nothing good.

"I have to go on a mission for several weeks…" Thor said carefully.

"Weeks?!" Loki asked shocked.

"I'm sorry, but I really need to go there." Thor apologized.

"You can't leave me alone here in this big palace." Loki tried to convince Thor to stay.

"You're not alone. You can spend time with my mother. I know how much you love to spend time with her." Thor tried to cheer Loki.

"B-But…" Loki couldn't think of anything to say, that would keep Thor here. He felt tears form in the corner of his eyes.

"Shh, I promise to return as soon as I can." Thor assured and kissed Loki's forehead.

"You will be protected well, I'll make sure of that." Thor added, as he could feel Loki shiver.

"O-okay…" Loki wiped some silent tears away and put himself together.

"Be careful." He kissed Thor again.

That was Sif's chance. Now that Thor was gone for a few weeks, she had enough time to get rid of the Jotun.

Loki has no one who'd protect him in Thor's chambers at night.

"This night…prepare yourself and enjoy your last moments, Jotun!" Sif grinned, as she waited for the night to come.

Just as she turned around she saw Loki come towards her corner. Surrounded by guards?!

"What is the meaning of this?" Sif asked the guards, while Loki went into Thor's chambers.

"We have the order to protect the frost giant from any danger." One guard answered strictly.

"I don't understand. Why does he need to be protected? He's a frost giant, an enemy!" Sif asked, trying to keep her temper down.

"We're just doing what was commanded from the prince." The guard answered neutral.

Sif glared at Loki who disappeared behind the big doors, followed by the guards, before leaving.

'How is this even possible? Thor was never interested in anyone this long before…Loki should long be boring for Thor. So why does this beast need to be protected?' She thought.

"There's something wrong…" She mumbled to herself, as she left the corridor.

This warrior lady wouldn't give up so easy. Her burning passion was to blame…

"Wow it's growing faster than I thought it would…" Loki said to himself as he looked at himself in the mirror. "You'll be a strong child…" he smiled as he stroked over his belly.

He just wished Thor would be here, it was getting so lonely.

Now that Thor's child was inside him, he felt sympathy for the prince. Thor was nice to him from the beginning, but before he left, he was so loving and gentle. It seemed like the Jotun's cold heart melted during that time.

"Well then…" Loki stretched tiredly and laid down on the big bed.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the big golden doors flew open.

Almost immediately Loki sat up to see who dared to walk into Thor's chambers.

His face met the blade of a sword just inches away from him.

"Who dares-"he didn't need to look though, to know who it was.

"What do you want, Lady Sif?" He asked annoyed.

"Tell me, what is the meaning of all this? And give me a good reason why I shouldn't slice your throat!" She hissed.

"You better leave…" is all that Loki gave as an answer.

"Tell me!" she shouted at him.

He straightened up to look her in the eyes. As he did so, the blanket, which kept Loki's growing womb hidden, slipped from Loki's belly.

"W-What is this?!" she took a few steps back and looked at the bump with wide eyes.

"What do you think it is? Seems like I have eaten a bit too much." Loki said sarcastically.

"Don't joke with me, Jotun!" she growled.

Loki stood up slowly and laid a hand on his belly protectively.

"I carry Thor's child inside of me. I'll bear his heir." He asked fearlessly.

"I see. So that's your plan." Sif mumbled smiling vicious.

"What do you mean by that?" Loki asked warily.

"Don't speak to me as if you didn't know what I am talking about! You want to take over Asgard to revenge your folks. And now that you got pregnant by the prince, nobody would dare to harm you." She said disgusted.

"That's a mean thing to say…" Loki said disappointed.

"Really funny." She said and lifted her sword again, pointing in the Jotun's direction. "I am not like others. I won't hesitate to kill both of you." She grinned.

"Do that and I will have you killed." Loki said cold.

"But how can you kill me, if you are dead?" Sif asked with a mocking tone in her voice.

"Do you really think Thor would let me sleep unguarded in this state?" Loki asked chuckling.

Sif's eyes went wide and she stepped back.

"That's right. The area near the chambers is surrounded by guards. They will get in trouble for letting you get into the room, though." Loki said disappointed. "Anyways, one scream of me and they'll come inside here immediately and they won't hesitate to punish you, maybe even kill you." Loki explained.

"You little whore…" She growled but put her sword back down cowardly.

"Good decision. Don't think of me that I don't understand at all… You fell in love with the prince, but he doesn't even know about it. You had to watch as he courted other maidens. And now I ruined your chance to ever be together with him. You search for a good reason to get rid of me, but the truth is that you can't see me with Thor. I understand you and I respect your passion. But if you come near me again or try to harm the child, I won't hesitate to let you get killed." Loki said threatening.

"T-That's not-"

"Oh please. Don't even try to deny it. I am merciful with you, see it as a gift. Now leave…" Loki said coldly and clapped his hands. Soon the room started filling with guards, who led Sif outside.

"You haven't seen the last of me…" she growled quietly, no one heard…

A/N: Yeah I know it sounds weird, that the guards didn't notice Sif at first. But I had this scene in my head for months and I had no better excuse. Sorry :/

I hope you still could enjoy this chapter :)
