Torvi's Children

Chapter 9: Three Years Later

Torvi's Point Of View
Ragnar's only been getting sicker not better after coming back from raiding in Paris and we don't know what is wrong with him all that we do know is that his the only one who has it, well at least for now. Every time that Bjorn or I take Guthrum or Siggy to see there Grandpa Ragnar we always are sure to give them a bath right after we leave along with ourselves because we all may love King Ragnar Lothbrok but he's not getting my children sick and not when there only three years old.

Though thinking about it I have been feeling sick lately and most of the time after I eat something I just throw it back up but I don't know how to tell Bjorn that not only your father's sick but I think I may be as well. So I just haven't said anything that's why right now I'm outside the great hall throwing my guts up whiles his in there drinking with his mates, it's great watching Bjorn being a father while his out with his friends because his turned into the mother of his group and it just has to make me laugh because now he thinks about more things then just raiding, and when we are raiding his less reckless and his battle pains have only gotten better and less of our people are dying my brother Harald told me that I'll be getting his throne in a year or two now and I told Bjorn that last night before we when to bed and he just said,

"do you think that it's going to be weird being the first ever King and Queen of Norway?" And I just nodded my head saying

"we'll talk about this more another time right now all I want to do is sleep in your arms because your going to be gone in a week  and a half but I do think it will be weird at first but I'll get better hopefully. Good night my love."

The last time I was sick was when I was with... oh shit I'm with child again. I guess I'll be staying in Kattegat for sure because there is on way that I'll be leaving my children here along with going raiding while being with child that is just how you cheat your child out of a life. And my children mean the world to me so there's no way in hell that I'll be going away raiding with my husband any time soon.

The morning after...

The great hall was full of men and women who where eating there breakfast while I was just sitting there trying not to vomit because the smell of the food was making me sick. I could feel Bjorn's eyes on me from across the room where he was talking to Erik about something but then he stopped and asked over to me,

"Why aren't you eating?" But before I could give him an answer I was back outside the great hall throwing up what little food I've eaten today.

"Are you okay?" Bjorn asked while holding my hair back.

"I think I'm with child again, Bjorn." I told him and he just nodded his head before saying,

"Okay do you want me to stay here with you or shall I go raiding with the men?" He asked and I know how much this means to him because family and raiding is his life and it always has been because that's what being Viking is all about.

"You can go with your man as long as you come back to me alive, or we will have a problem because when I join you in Valhalla I'll kill you over and over again, my love." I told him before wiping my face and turning around to face him.

"I will try to come back to you in one pice, Torvi." He told me while kissing my head then walking back into the Great Hall hand in hand only to see that Guthrum and Siggy where running around on there little legs playing with their uncles Hvitserk and Sigurd.

"Bjorn's told me that you are with child again Torvi." Lagertha said as she walked into mine and Bjorn's house.

"Yes I am with child, that's why I'm staying here instead of going raiding with my brothers and husband." I told Lagertha while feeding Guthrum the rest of his oats.
