(Seven years later)
Tinos' POV
Time went by way to fast for my taste. It felt like only yesterday when all my fears disappeared with Thora's birth. I felt tears running down my cheeks and Thora, who always seems to feel when something is wrong started whimpering, something she inherited from her father and asked
I gazed at my daughter. My perfect little angel. She had developed into a perfect mix of Berwald and me. You could now tell that she had mostly my body features with Berwalds straw-blond hair and piercing turquoise-blue eyes. She also had my innocent cute look as Berwald likes to call it but Thora can also master her fathers piercing and sometimes creepy look.
I smiled at Thora and said "It's nothing my sweet darling. Why don't you go and try on some of your Papa's clothes?" "Ok" she chirped as she happily went to our room. I smiled as she left. For her young age she was really smart, beautiful and strong. She was going to be a great leader of our village one day I just knew it and also something told me that she was destined for something far greater.
Lukas POV
"RYKER. THAT IS MY SWORD GIVE IT BACK!" Thorer yelled at his brother, who was developing more and more into his father which was annoying the crap out of me. "WELL WE CAN SETTLE THIS WITH A FIGHT BABY BROTHER!" Ryker yelled back pouncing on his brother. "FINE. AND DON'T CALL ME BABY BROTHER YOU'RE NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN ME YOU KNOW!"
I winced as I saw Ryker's spiky head whoosh across the room followed by Thorers skinny figure.
Are they fighting again?" A voice whispered in my ear making me jump. "Yes they are. Can't you make them stop because I know for a fact that I won't be able to stop them." "No problem Lukas. And by the way I love you." Mathias said giving me kiss on the cheek before storming into the boys bedroom shouting "NOW WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?"
I took this opportunity to go outside for a walk. The cool winter winds smacked my face as I walked through our village towards the forest. I loved Mathias and my boys more than anything else but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something really bad was going to happen.
I could tell that Ryker and Thorer were going to be strong warriors when they grew up but that was exactly what was worrying me. While Thorer was more like me in both personality and looks it was vet clear that Ryker had inherited his fathers looks and personality.
I had a very bad feeling that they would terrorise the northern seas and be very unpopular when they grew up. Sighing I turned around and headed back to our village.
Berwalds POV
When I got home a little surprise greeted me. A little someone wearing my clothes came running toward me yelling "ATTACK!" Laughing I picked my little Thora up and twirled we around before putting her back down.
"Papa. Look what I made with Mama for you." I followed my excited daughter up to her room where she fumbled in her trunk before reaching out her hands which held a necklace with an amber stone attached to it.
"I went to the beach with Bjørn and then he found it. First he said it was his because he found bit then I asked him very nicely if I could have it and he said yes. Then Mama helped me put the stone through the thread." Thora explained happily. "I love it. It's very beautiful." I smiled as Thora put it around my neck.
"THORA, BERWALD DINNER IS READY!" I ward Tino call from downstairs. "WE'RE COMING!" we called back. Thora sat down at the table immediately and I wrapped my arms around Tino's waist surprising him. "I see Thora gave you our present." he said smiling. "Yes. She also explained to me how she got the stone and how you helped her." Tino beamed and together we sat down together with our little girl feeling as happy as never before.
Mathias POV
"RYKER. THAT IS MY SWORD GIVE IT BACK!" mini-Lukas yelled at his brother. "WELL WE CAN SETTLE THIS WITH A FIGHT BABY BROTHER!" mini-me yelled back. "FINE. AND DON'T CALL ME BABY BROTHER YOU'RE NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN ME YOU KNOW!"
Are they fighting again?" I whispered in Lukas ear making him flinch in surprise. "Yes they are. Can't you make them stop because I know for a fact that I won't be able to stop them." "No problem Lukas. And by the way I love you." I said lovingly kissing Lukas on the cheek before storming into the boys bedroom shouting "NOW WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?"
The two boys immediately stopped their fighting and gazed at me with their violet-blue eyes. "Ryker took my sword but I wanted my sword for myself without having to fight for it but Ryker just pounced on me so I defended myself." Thorer explained looking like his mother with that adorable pout on his face.
Then Ryker piped in "But I was just helping Thorer to become a strong Viking. I was just teasing." "Well it wasn't the right thing to do. I want you to apologise to your brother." "But..." "But nothing. Apologise now."
I watched as my older son turned to his brother and said "Sorry." Thorer looked at the hand which Ryker was reaching out to him and slowly too his hand and then they hugged. I watched happily as my two boys stayed in that embrace for a few minutes.
I felt a set of arms wrap themselves around my waist and a little voice saying "Why do they listen to you and not to me?" he asked timidly. Well it may be because I used to be like them. Also I remember how my parents used to deal with me so I guess that leaves me at an advantage."
We smiled at each other lovingly and Ryker and Thorer joined their parents and together the small family landed on the floor and laughed until they were out of breath.
