Chapter 14.
Odin sat outside the Healing Rooms with his head in his hands. His thoughts were on his youngest son and how he had not been able to protect him in battle.
Hearing a sob beside him he looked at Kara who he had completely forgotten about and seeing the tears roll down her cheeks he said "do not cry child as I
believe my son will pull through this. He's stronger than he looks".
Kara wiped her eyes and shrugging her shoulders she whispered "I'm not crying over your son I'm crying because my Master will be very angry with me
because I didn't return. He'll put me back in the chamber again".
Odin nodded his head and felt pity for this child as no child should have to go through what she went through. Taking Kara's hand Odin squeezed it gently
and said "Kara you need not worry about this Master any longer. You are safe here on Asgard. Frigga and I will take care of you I promise. We won't let
anything happen to you I promise".
Kara nodded her head bewildered that the man she had been raised to hate was taking pity upon her and welcoming her into the royal family. "Why would
you protect me when it was my magic that sent the Other here to injure your youngest son?" asked Kara quietly.
Odin looked at the child beside him and replied "I'm welcoming you Kara because you deserve a chance at happiness as no child deserves to go through what
you went through". Seeing Kara smile Odin chuckled softly and said "you will like here".
Hearing hurried footsteps approaching Odin stood to his feet and saw Frigga walking briskly toward him. Before he could greet her Frigga embraced him and
said "welcome home my husband".
Odin held his queen before pulling away and taking her hands in his he said "I always come home to you Frigga. Now tell me how does Lady Jane fair?"
Frigga smiled and replied "Jane is a strong mortal, she has recovered and is resting comfortably in Loki's bedroom although she is asking to see Loki". Taking
a deep breath Frigga looked at Odin and seeing no serious injuries upon him she asked "Odin why are you sitting outside the Healing Rooms?"
Odin squeezed Frigga's hands gently and said "Frigga, Loki was seriously injured in battle. Eir is tending to him right now that's why I'm outside the Healing
Rooms".
Frigga felt tears sting her eyes and roll down her cheeks at hearing the news. Her son, her Loki had been through too much already only now to be in a
Healing Room with a serious injury. Feeling Odin's hand wipe away her tears she looked at him and said "our son is strong Odin and he needs to survive as
Jane will need him in the coming months".
Odin looked at Frigga and getting the hint he whispered "we'll be Grandparents Frigga and yes Loki will survive, I'm sure of it". Turning Frigga to face Kara
Odin said "Frigga this is Kara and she will be living with us from now on and I have promised her that she will be save here with us".
Frigga looked at Kara and seeing the fear in the child's eyes she smiled kindly at her and said "welcome to our family Kara, it's a pleasure to finally meet you
as Loki has told me about you". Seeing Kara relax a bit she asked "Kara would you care to join me for dinner so we may talk and get to know each other
better?"
Feeling her stomach grumble Kara nodded her head and followed the Queen down the hallway happy that she now had people who cared about her and that
she would be able to eat proper food instead of scraps the Chitauri would throw at her.
Odin watched them leave before turning back to his seat but before he could sit down the door to the Healing Rooms opened and Eir walked out. Seeing the
All Father she said "I have successfully healed Prince Loki All Father. He is awake and asking for you".
Odin nodded his head and entered the Healing Room where he saw Loki getting dressed. "I see that sword did not do much damage my son".
Loki turned to Odin and nodding his head he said "missed all my vital organs which I'm thankful for but I must ask is Jane alright?"
Nodding his head Odin smiled and said "Jane has been healed and is resting comfortably in your bedroom. Loki there's something I have to inform you of".
Loki looked at his Father and chuckling softly he asked "you brought Kara here and no doubt Mother is having dinner with her as we speak".
Smiling Odin said "you know your Mother too well but no that's not what I needed to inform you of. It seems Lady Jane is with child". Seeing the shocked
expression on Loki's face Odin said "congratulations my son but remember you must wed Jane before the child is born".
Loki nodded his head still in shock before walking out of the Healing Room. Taking a few deep breaths he started to walk toward his bedroom but the sound
of the Bifrost opening interrupted his thoughts and hearing the cheers of the citizens Loki felt his mouth go dry and wondered how Thor would take to this
news.
A/N - Sorry for the late update, next chapter is going to shock. Please review.
