Three years passed. Nora grew to look just as she had in Ava's dream, she had the night she realized she was pregnant. On this particular day, Ava was trying to get her daughter ready. Odin had finally decided that his reign as king needed to come to an end and that it was Thor's time to ascend to the throne.

Ava was currently trying to give Nora a bath, but the girl was not having that. Ava had just gotten her out of her dress and was getting ready to put her in the tub, when Nora escaped her mother's grasp and took off running out of the bathing room and into the common room.

"Nora, come back here!" Ava called after her daughter as she ran after her.

"I no want bath!" Nora shouted as she ran out of her family chambers and into the halls, completely naked.

Ava ran after her daughter, grabbing a blanket so that once she caught her, she could wrap her up in it. "Nora, come back here! We have to get you ready!"

"No!" Nora called with a giggle. She then took and turned into a room. She found her father and uncle in the room. "Daddy!" She squealed as she ran to him.

Loki turned and saw his daughter running around in her birthday suit. He quickly grabbed a blanket that was close by and scooped her up, wrapping her in the blanket. "What are you doing?" He asked his daughter.

"Mommy say I need a bath...I no want one." She answered, wrapping her arms around her father and hugging him.

"You have to look your best, my sweet one." Loki told his daughter.

Ava walked into the room, a bit breathless. "There you are." She said.

Nora held tight to her father. "Daddy, please don't make me take a bath?"

"Nora, sweetheart, you have to take your bath." Loki told his daughter.

Nora turned to look at her Uncle Thor. "Do I need a bath?" She asked.

Thor walked closer and made a show of sniffing his niece's hair. He then acted as if he just smelled the most foul disgusting thing he ever had in his life. "Oh, I don't know how your daddy can be holding you that close!" He teased. "You stink."

Nora sighed. "I guess, I'd better get my bath."

Loki handed Nora back to Ava. He gave his wife and daughter both a kiss. "You be good for Mommy." He told Nora. "Get your bath and get in your pretty dress."

Nora nodded. "Okay Daddy."

Ava carried Nora back to their family chambers and got her in the bath tub. She scrubbed Nora down and got her squeaky clean. Once she had finished that she got Nora out of the tub and dried off. She helped her daughter into her pretty green and black dress. She then started brushing her hair out. She then started to pull it into a style of braids and Nora's natural curls.

Once Ava had Nora ready, she was putting on her own dress and fixing her own hair. "You look pretty, Mommy."

Ava looked at her daughter. "And so do you, sweetheart."

"You're both beautiful." Loki said, entering the room.

"Daddy!" Nora squealed jumping off the bed and running to her father.

Loki scooped his daughter up in his arms and kissed her forehead. Ava walked over to them, smiling. Loki wrapped his free arm around Ava's waist and pulled her close and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Ewe!" Nora said as she watched her parents kiss.

Loki and Ava looked at each other and then grinned. They held Nora between them and kissed her cheeks, causing her to giggle. They stopped after a few moments, then Loki looked at his wife and daughter. "Are my girls ready?"

Ava looked at Nora. "Are we?" She asked.

Nora nodded. "Yeah!"

The family walked out of their family chambers and headed to the throne room. They found Thor standing at the entrance. "You're looking a bit nervous." Ava teased her big brother.

"That's no way to treat your king." Thor replied.

"Father hasn't crowned you yet." Ava teased. "Besides, you may soon be king, but you will always just be a big oaf to me." She then kissed his cheek.

"You be good king." Nora told her uncle, a smile on her face.

Thor held his arms open for his little niece and she came right to him. "I sure hope I can be."

"You can do it." Nora said. "You are the best uncle. Can a king be that much harder?" She then kissed his cheek.

Thor chuckled and gave his little niece a kiss on the cheek. He then handed her off to her mother. He turned to Loki.

Loki threw his hands up in the air as if in surrender. "Don't expect me to kiss you." He teased.

Thor laughed. "I wouldn't expect that in the least."

Loki clapped Thor on the shoulder. "You'll be a great king."

"Thank you, Loki." Thor replied.

Loki, Ava, and Nora then entered the throne room and took their places to the right of the throne. Nora was having a hard time standing still, she kept fidgeting and playing with her dress. Ava placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Sweetie, stop fidgeting." She chided gently.

"But I so bored, Mommy." Nora protested.

"It's just for a bit." Ava told her daughter.

Nora gave an exaggerated sigh and made a show of standing stone still. A few moments later, Thor was coming out, making a show and the crowd cheering. The coronation began and went off without a hitch. Thor was crowned the new king of Asgard and a large celebration began.

Nobles from the other nine realms were in attendance, including Vinius and Nessa and their little boy, who was just a year younger than Nora. His name was Cal. He and Nora were running around playing with the other children.

Loki and Ava walked out to the garden, where the children played. They walked through the moonlight, Loki keeping an arm wrapped around his wife's waist. They came to a stop under a tree. Loki pulled Ava into his arms.

"You know, when I first found you in the Jotunheim all of those years ago, I never thought that any of this would happen." Loki said as he gazed into his wife's eyes.

Ava smiled. "Well, I'm glad that it did."

"Me, too." Loki replied. "I never thought that I could be so happy. I mean, I have you for the rest of my life and you have given me so much. And we have our beautiful daughter."

Ava stretched up and kissed Loki gently on the lips. "I love you, Loki."

"I love you, Ava." Loki replied, pulling Ava closer and capturing her lips with his. He was the happiest he had ever been...than he had ever thought possible. He had everything that mattered. Life was wonderful and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
