Chapter 92 // That Makes Sense

"I'm going to show her everything!" Abigail smiled, excited about Willow coming over in an hour. You laughed, "And you can, but make sure you ask if you need any help at all, okay?" "But I can do it!" She said. "But my baby is so small," You chuckled, picking her up, " Although you're a lot heavier than you used to be." "See! I'm old enough now," She smiled, proud. You hummed, and teased her playfully "Very old, but you still need mummy and daddy's help." "Maybe a little," She admitted with a pause.

Loki walked in, "Ah, so there you both were." "Dad! I'm old!" Abigail told him, running over and hugging him at his hips. He hesitated, "Ol- Pardon?" "She thinks being 6 is old," You smiled. "I am! How old are you?" She asked, looking up to Loki; still hugging. He cleared his throat, uncomfortably.

He didn't want to lie to his daughter, but he felt as if she was too young to know. If she told Willow? But if he told her later she could be heart broken about being lied to.

Loki stood, cheeks warm, unable to respond or move comfortably. "We'll tell you how old we are later today, okay?" You jumped in. "Why?" "We need to make sure everything is ready for your friend!" You told her with a smile. "Okay!" She said, immediately listening to what was said.

"Are you okay?" You muttered to him, after you sent Abigail to make sure that everyone else was 'absolutely ready'. He hummed, "possibly." You felt a little bad, "I'm sorry." Hugging him, he asked why and cuddled you. "I don't want to make you feel bad or anything-" "It's not your fault, Y/N. It was going to happen at some point," You felt him smile and kiss your forehead before letting go.

"It would probably be best if we left it for now, since we have guests arriving soon of course," His posture was upright and stiff. Sliding your arms through the gaps that were created as he put his hands behind his back, you hugged him warmly. "Give me a moment," You smiled, leaning against him. Giving in, he slowly re-wrapped his arounds around you; smiling gratefully.

However, while the two of you slipped into a silent, but comfortable, hug, the whole idea of husbands and wives began to play on your mind. On Midgard it was considered more normal to marry and have kids, but Asgard? You don't even remember the last nice memory you had there through your own eyes, let alone marriages. Did Asgard even have marriages? You couldn't remember.

Time passed, and you heard a call: Willow and her parents had arrived. The three of you went down to greet them.

"Hello," You smiled warmly, inviting them in. You all took the lift up, to the livingroom. "Would you like to look around?" You asked. "Oh," Sarah giggled, "I think we'd feel too rude if we did so suddenly, maybe later." Steven smiled, agreeing and the parents meeting began.

"Mum! Can I show Willow my room?" Abigail asked, after whispering to Willow. You looked over to Sarah and Steven; they nodded. "Of course," You smiled and you all watched the girls giggling and whispering as they left.

Hours passed, the four of you spoke and looked around. You let them meet everyone living in the tower; even the obviously overly excited Thor. "I must say, there are a quiet a few people here," Steven smiled and you nodded, explaining.

While you did, your eyebrows began to furrow. Had they not seen any of us before? Even Tony had given you a strange look earlier when they didn't recognise him. "By the way," You began, "If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?" "England, yes, we have the accent for sure," Sarah smiled. England. "Another, if you don't mind," Loki said. "Of course." "You do not recognise any of us, why is that?" He asked, almost completely bluntly. "Oh, were we supposed to?" Steven asked. "Surely you have heard of the Avengers?" You asked. "We may have in a newspaper, right dear?" Steven asked, unsure. Sarah nodded, "If you are referring to news watching, etcetera, we didn't do it back in England. We lived on a good few acres of land, a farm, we never bothered with much television either." Steven confirmed this with a nod and a smile. "I see," You nodded, finally making sense of the situation, "it's no big problem, just usually it doesn't happen you see." They nodded, understanding. "Of course, most people watch television and the news when there are things going on."
