I only own Randi, Shannon, and Francis

"Alright, Loki," said Odin, getting up from his desk, "what is it?"

"Father, I need some advice," said Loki, sitting on Odin's bed.

"On what?" Odin asked.

"On raising a child," Loki answered after a bit of hesitation.

"Raising a child?" Odin said in confusion.

"Yes, you've raised 2 children and I need to know what to do," said Loki.

Odin took a deep breath and sat down next to his youngest son.

"Well, I can't tell you exactly how to take care of a child," he started, "but what I can tell you is that you should follow your instincts."

"Can you tell me anything else?" Loki asked after letting the info sink in.

"Go ask your mother," said Odin, turning back to go to his desk. "She knows more about this then I would."

Loki looked at Odin strangely but turned to go see his mother. Fortunately, his mother wasn't doing anything important so she had all the time in the world to explain some things to him.

With Randi

Randi was listening to her friend Rachel talk as they went to their gym class.

"So my brother said that you can come with us to go hiking if you want to," said Rachel as they enter the locker room.

"I think I'll pass," Randi muttered.

They changed into their gym clothes and went up to the gym to sit and talk for a bit.

"Why?" she asked.

"My parents and I are expecting someone," Randi answered.

"Dinner party?" Rachel asked.

"Something like that," said Randi.

"Who's going to come?"

"My real father."

"You were adopted?!"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

Randi was going to respond but the teacher came up and started the class.

Later, at home

Randi was sitting on her bed, reading a book when she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," she called.

It was her father.

"He's here," said Francis.

Randi nodded and got up. She followed Francis downstairs to their living room and saw a man that looked like he was in his mid twenties sitting down in one of the chairs. Randi guessed that that was Loki. Her real father.

"Randi," said Loki, standing up.
