CHAPTER 4

Darcy was anxiously waiting for Jane to show up in the lab the following day and nearly pounced on her unsuspecting coworker the moment she walked in the door.

"Jane, I have to know something and I want a truthful answer okay?"

Jane looked at Darcy and then nodded wondering what she was going on about.

"Jane, do you remember anything in your life prior to waking up in the hospital ten years ago?"

Jane was startled by her friends question but answered nonetheless, "No, Darcy, I don't recall my life before I woke up in the hospital. Why do you remember something?"

Darcy wanted to lie and say no but she couldn't find it in her heart to do so. The dream she had had the night before had awoken her and the pain and grief she felt was still weighing heavily on her. "Jane, I had another dream last night," she began slowly trying to hide the joy and pain that she was feeling at the moment.

"Okay, so what was this dream about Darcy?"

"I don't want you to think me mad, and perhaps I am but the scroll we looked at the other day…..I don't think…that is Jane….we are the maidens mentioned in it. The dream I had last night was so vivid I recalled everything….it's like the holes that were in my memory these past ten years were suddenly filled. I remember everything from before I awoke in the hospital ten years ago, Jane. Everything. You are my sister….and like I said that scroll that foretold of the two maidens….it's us it speaks of. You were or I should say are engaged to Thor Odinson and I to Loki. My real name is Darissa Ashiersdottir and yours is Jarissa. We are twins and princesses from Alfheim. But that isn't all. When we were sent to earth, we were both pregnant. However, before we awoke to our new lives we both miscarried. The dream I had confirmed all of this as did the medical release forms I found this morning from the day we were released. I am sure if you find and read yours, it will confirm my suspicion."

Jane was shocked because her dream was similar to Darcy's. She knew that her real name was Jarissa and she had figured out a week prior that she was engaged or betrothed to Thor, yet she couldn't wrap her mind around that fact just yet. She herself had felt that the scroll in question had been talking about her and she knew Darcy had felt the same way. But if Darcy was right and she had been pregnant prior to being placed on Earth, then how was she ever going to break the news to him? How could she tell him that she had lost their child? She looked at her newly found sister and saw that the same pain was reflected in her countenance as well. Jane pulled her sister into her arms and the two wept over their loss. Then Darcy pulled away.

"Jane, we have to get your machine working pronto. I don't want to spend another day away from Loki then I have to. It has already been too long as it is."

Jane nodded and together they redoubled their efforts to finish building the machine that would hopefully take them both home.

Thor and Loki were standing before their father asking for permission to go to Midgard. Now that they both had had their memories restored they need to find their respected loves and bring them home. Odin though was proving to be difficult and was refusing to let them go. Neither could understand the Allfather's claim that it wasn't time yet to retrieve the two sisters but the princes were not deterred in the least. They both bowed then made their way to the Bifrost dome where Heimdall stood looking out over the universe. However, when they got there they were greeted by not only the gatekeeper but also their betroths father.

"You two still intend to go don't you?" Ashier said instead of asked.

They both nodded but then the Bifrost began spinning and Heimdall looked slightly bemused and not overly worried.

"Heimdall? What is going on? Who is coming?" Thor demanded.

"You shall see in a moment, My prince," he answered with a grin. Which was not something any of those standing there with him had ever seen him do.

Moments later, two figures came through the portal and collapsed on the floor, dizzy from the teleport that they had just done.

Heimdall's grin only widened and then said in a rather cheery voice "Welcome to Asgard, Princess Jarissa and Princess Darissa."

Thor and Loki, as well as Ashier, stood frozen as the two figures slowly stood and looked around them in awe and then in recognition. "Heimdall?" Darcy was the first to speak and when the big man nodded she turned to her companion and squealed happily, "Jane, we did it! We made it Home!"

Jane nodded still dazed from the journey and then looked straight at the man that had been haunting her dreams for weeks on end. Slowly, she walked over to him still not sure if she was dreaming or if this was actually real. "Is it really you?" she asked the big, burly man who was staring at her in shock. He nodded and Jane threw herself at him holding him to her as she burst into tears.

Loki looked at his beloved and wondered what was going through her mind, for she had a look that held such sorrow. He wondered if being back was bringing back the memories of him telling her to go and rather forcefully at that. Though he had not wanted her to leave him, he had wanted her safe above all else.

"Loki?" he heard her say, her voice merely a whisper.

He walked up to her and nodded not trusting his voice to say what he really wanted to say right then. Darcy threw her arms around him and cried. He pulled her closer and allowed her to cry knowing that she needed to get the pain she was feeling out and he rubbed her back while she sobbed into his chest. He could hear her talking but couldn't make out what she was saying, but it didn't matter he was just happy she was back where she belonged.

Ashier watched is daughter's reunion with their beloveds with tears in his eyes and turn to leave them to it when Jane and Darcy both called out, "Father?"

Ashier turned to find both of his daughters looking at him with tears still welling in their eyes and then held out his arms to both of them. Darcy and Jane walked right into them and he held his children he had though he would never see again.
