64 Chapter 64 Hope Frigga Odinson

I take a deep breath as I let myself calm down from my outburst as Odin sentences him. No one fazed by me beating him up, all happy I did it and I think they wanted me to hit him harder or even kill him. But that might have looked bad in front of our daughter and I had my fun. All I care about now is that I am free from the bastard and me and Hope are safe at last. Free and I am back with the man I love. Plus no more hiding my wings, it was a pain keeping them in my back so long.

However I am barely listening to Odin as he sentences Kai to death as I feel my neck tinge, it stinging a bit. I toss the sword away as I touch my neck, it making me flinch as I touch it. It's stinging a lot and I thought it was just a scratch. But I can feel blood on my hand and it's not just a scratch. He slit into my neck, slit into it deeply and I guess I didn't feel it. With all that adrenaline and with my wings shooting out. But now I can feel it and it hurts. It really hurts and I feel dizzy. He's cut too deep and I think I am going to collapse. I'm dying, I can feel it and I need Loki. I need him to save me, heal me before it's too late.

"Katrina?" Loki speaks up, noticing I'm unsteady on my feet, "Are you ok?"

I remove my hand from my neck, it soaked in blood, "No, I don't think I am. Loki…" But I don't finish my sentence.

I feel my wings go back into my back as I find myself staggering a bit as I try to face him. But I feel so dizzy and I can barely focus before my legs give out. I collapse but Loki is quick and catches me, wrapping his arms around me. My back against his chest, my head on his shoulder, and I can barely focus.

"Loki…"

He interrupts me, "It's ok, I've got you. I've got you." He holds me tightly as he lowers me to the floor, "Just stay awake. Stay awake and listen to my voice. Focus on me."

I groan in pain, trying to focus on him as he sits down. Me on his lap with my back against his chest and my head on his shoulder. Everything is out of focus and I can hear a lot of worried voices but I try to focus on Loki, trying to stay awake. If I close my eyes and fall asleep, I'm dead. And yet I feel so tired and dizzy. My neck stinging and I can feel the blood on my skin. It hurts and I feel so weak, trying to hold in my cries of pain. God I'm so tired.

"Hey Katrina, stay awake. Don't you dare close your eyes." He inspects my neck, "It's not too deep, you will be ok. Just listen to my voice and stay awake."

I focus on his voice, my vision blurry and I nod, putting all my energy into staying awake. I feel his hand over the cut on my neck before I feel his magic on my skin and the cut begins to heal, much to my relief. My vision focuses and I can see properly, everyone very worried but relieved to see I am healing and doing better. I feel much more awake, less dizzy and the pain slowly starting to go as he heals me.

Loki notices and sounds relieved as he scolds me, "I swear I told you to be careful, any deeper and he could have killed you."

I smile, trying not to hiss in pain, "Well I was not going to let him take me away from you again was I? It was just a little too close for comfort."

He chuckles, "You're unbelievable."

"Yeah but you love me for it."

There are a lot of chuckles around the room, including Loki's as I feel his magic on the cut. The pain melts away as he finishes healing the cut, the dizziness gone too. I hear a lot of people signing in relief as Loki removes his hand and clears away the blood with the wave of his hand. I touch my neck, relieved to feel the cut is gone and that I'm ok. It was close but he saved me like I knew he would.

I turn in his lap to face him, resting my head on his shoulder as I enjoy being in his arms again, my hands resting on his chest as I fiddle with his outfit. He doesn't complain, keeping his arms around me as he smiles at me, relieved I am ok.

"Are you sure you are ok?" He asks me, still checking me over.

I roll my eyes, "I'm ok Loki, all healed. And a cut to the throat isn't even as half as bad as that horrible shock rod. Plus it was rather fun beating the hell of Kai. I just didn't realise how deep the cut was." I rub my neck, "But you healed me and I'm ok. My gorgeous husband saves the day yet again."

He smiles at that, "Well you were the one who beated him to a pulp."

"He deserved it." I say with a smile, "And remember, I had to kiss the guy. So gross and disgusting, so bad. No wonder why he was single."

We laugh before he leans in and kisses me, his lips capturing mine. I kiss him back, bringing my hands up from his chest to his neck as I sit up properly in his arms, not letting him go. He holds me tightly, not letting me go as he brings his hand to my cheek, both of us lost in the kiss. So passionate and fiery, not to mention intoxicating. God I love him. I hear the people cheering and clapping around us as we enjoy our moment of bliss, celebrating us officially together again. We pull apart, both smiling as we rest our heads against each other, getting our breath back.

"Please don't scare me like that again." He whispers, "I can't lose you for real."

I smile, "You won't. I love you."

He smiles back, "I love you too." Then he notices something from the corner of his eye, "As does our daughter."

My eyes widen as I remember, "Oh god Hope."

Then I hear her footsteps running towards us and I pull apart from Loki, sliding off his lap as I see Hope running over to us. She is smiling so brightly and the moment she reaches me, she jumps into my arms. I hug her tightly, not letting her go as we hug each other, sitting on the floor beside Loki. I have been so worried about her and I'm so happy she is in my arms again. That she is ok and home and safe. I got her back and we are both free, oh my beautiful girl. Thank god you are ok.

"Thank god you're ok. I've been so worried about you." I say, still holding her tightly.

She chuckles, "Worried about me? Mum you nearly died." She pulls away and looks at me, "Are you ok? Are you still hurt?"

I shake my head, "I'm ok sweetie, I'm ok. Your father healed me." I then look her over, "But are you ok? Did they harm you?"

"They didn't harm me, mum. I'm ok and Sif got me out. She's really cool." She smiles at me, "And your plan worked. It worked."

I smile, "It did but I had help." I look at Sif and our friends, "Thank you, all of you, I don't know how I can thank you for this. You're the best friends I could ask for."

Sif smiles at us, "It was our pleasure."

They all smile before going over to the table where everyone has already begun sitting down as they return to the feast. Sif and my friends joining Thor as they eat and I see Kai being dragged away, now unconscious but I focus on Hope. My little girl in front of me and she's so beautiful and finally safe. Home. She's so happy and hopeful.

"Are we really free now?" She asks me, noticing Kai being dragged off.

I smile as I look into her green eyes, stroking her hair, "We are. We are both free and we will never have to worry about Kai again. You're safe now, you're home."

She touches the pendant around her neck, "Mum did you want the necklace back?"

I shake my head, "Keep it darling. Your father can get me another and he would want you to have it. He can make me a new one."

"Will I now?"

This makes me smile as I look at Loki, "Well am I wrong?"

He chuckles before he smiles and in seconds I feel something around my neck. I look down to see a green pendant around my neck, glowing with his magic with silver vines wrapped around it. It's beautiful and I love it already. It's perfect.

"You like?" He says with a grin.

I nod, "It's perfect. I love it."

She stares at it, smiling before looking at Loki with pure fascination and I know how much she wanted to meet her father. To be with him and be a family, now we can be. It's time she met her father and he met his daughter. A proper family reunion so I take her hands, holding them tightly.

"You want to meet your father?" I say with a smile.

She grins and nods before I turn to face Loki, leading her around so she is standing in front of me, facing her father. Loki is staring at her in awe, memorized by her but has a smile on his face.

"Hope, this is your father and the love of my life, Loki." I say, introducing her before looking at Loki, "Loki, this is Hope Frigga Odinson, our daughter."

He stares at her, lost at her beauty, "She's beautiful."

She smiles, beaming, "Can you turn blue?"

This makes me chuckle and Loki looks at her, wondering what she means until it hits him. I mean it is obvious as he looks at me, having figured out what she meant

"Is she?" He asks, knowing my answer.

I nod, "She's a Tribrid. Part Asgardian, Goddess and Jotun. She can change forms easily and is naturally gifted with magic, just like we are." I smile at her, "Why don't you show him? Change forms, just like how I taught you."

She nods, "Ok Mum."

Hope closes her eyes and focuses before she opens, her green eyes turning bright red. Her skin changes from pink to dark blue with the light blue symbols appearing as well. She looks beautiful and Loki is in awe of her. He doesn't even hesitate and changes into his Jotun form, his eyes going red, and his skin blue just like hers. It makes me smile, seeing him so comfortable in his jotun form since he used to struggle so much with accepting this side of him. But he has and so has our daughter.

He reaches out and touches her cheek, tracing a symbol and I notice they are both identical. Their symbols are the same on both of their skins and they both know for sure, any doubt completely eradicated. They are father and daughter.

"She's beautiful." Loki whispers.

They are both smiling as they change back into their Asgardian forms, eyes green and skin pink. So much alike and Hope looks so happy.

"Dad!!"

She immediately jumps into his arms, hugging him tightly and knocking the air of his lungs. He is taken back but hugs her, holding her as tears roll down his cheeks. It makes me smile and I feel tears come to mine, so happy they are reunited at last. Finally, she got to meet her father and Loki got another daughter that loves him. That is just like him and we can be a family, real family like I had dreamed.
