Chapter 15
Sigyn
Pressure is on my chest. Not the suffocating kind. It’s a warm comforting kind. I’m waking up, again. I feel like I’ve slept so much lately. I feel warmth then pressure on my nipple and my eyes fly open. Soft green eyes and copper curls stare back at me as his little hand rests on my boob.
“Loki, I swear if you turned yourself into a baby,” I start, but am cut off from laughter from the door.
Loki stands there partially nude with his red hair damp and dark from the shower. “Nope. I had nothing to do with what’s going on. He must have been hungry. Looks like we have a teleporter.”
Our babies are more advanced than human babies, but they do not walk after a day of existence. The part of my brain that is still aware of the mortal condition feels this is bananas, but like clockwork the other cries. Okay, it was more like a whimper.
“And this one is like his daddy,” Loki laughs when he picks up a wolf cub.
“Oh, lord…”
“Yes?” he responds like an idiot.
“Shut up, Loki. You know what I mean. You and our son are going to drive me nuts.”
“Sigyn, I can do that on my own.”
“Turn him back so I can feed him.” The moment I say that the other one disappears. “I guess he’s full. Is he back in bed?”
Loki rubs the cub he’s holding, and he turns back into a baby. I grab him and put him on the opposite breast. He then moves to check on our teleporter.
“Yes, he’s sleeping again.”
It fills my heart to watch him look at our children. Him and his kids were always a part of some plot, threat, or prophecy. Now, we can just be a father who loves his children. I take a deep breath to keep from crying.
“And you get to be just a mother, my love,” hecompletes my thoughts out loud in our language.
Just as I’m about to respond the baby who is feeding stops and gets really fuzzy. I look down to find a baby sloth sleeping on my boob.
“Sweet Jesus…”
Loki holds his fingers over his mouth. “Don’t bring them into this. We’re flying under the radar, remember?”
“Both of you know what I meant. The mortal phrases will go away eventually. I need to get used to our son morphing when he feels like it.”
“He’ll learn to control his power.”
I sneeze then find myself on the couch.
So, will you.

Loki
Sigyn is with the boys and now that my family is whole. Plus, now that my wife loves me again, as she should, I can get back to business. I have a week-long European tour. It might be my last before I “kill” Iam the Illusionist. I don’t know what I’ll do next but right now I just want to be with my family with no distractions and give them the time I couldn’t in the past.
This is a Halloween tour and Astrid is dressed like a Playboy Bunny - how original- as she saunters towards me like this will be the outfit to make me look at her after years of being ignored.
“A weeklong European tour! It sounds so romantic. There are so many things we can do together.”
I guess that’s supposed to be her seductive tone. I should’ve gone with my first thought and killed her.
“And what’s romantic about it?”
