Red in their Ledger

Chapter 10

My eyes fluttered open, only to slam shut from the blinding lights.

"Can someone turn down those lights?" I questioned

someone flung themselves onto me. I grunted in pain

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ara! I'm just so happy to see you awake and back here with us." Sofia said

I chuckled, "It's okay, Sof. Just be a bit more careful when you fling yourself at me."

A nurse walked in with Hela and Loki behind him

"You will have to be on bed rest for two months and then slowly work your way back into everything you were doing beforehand." the nurse stated

"Cut the bedrest time in half, and you have a deal." I bargained, "I'll even roll around in a wheelchair for a bit before walking again if I need to."

"Mara." Hela scolded

"What!" I exclaimed, "I can not be on bed rest for two months. Even a month is a stretch for me."

"Fine. I will make sure there is someone always watching you to make sure you keep up your part of the deal." The nurse agreed, "One month bed rest, one month wheelchair with physical therapy. After that, we will see how you are doing."

"Thank you." I smiled

"I'll watch over her." Loki piped up

"Why are you volunteering yourself for this?" I asked

"Because your sisters are going to busy with their school and training. Madame Belkov will be busy overseeing the Academy. Hela will have to go back home and deal with our father." Loki answered, "I also don't want to be near father right now. Pretty sure he wants to kill me right now."

I chuckled, "Fine. I guess you are now assigned to me."

"We'll leave you to rest, sistra. See you later." Natasha stated, "Let's go, guys."

Everyone but Loki and Hela walked out.

"What are you still doing here?" I questioned Hela

"Staying a little bit longer before I have to head back to Asgard," Hela said

"Say hi to your mother for me?" I asked

"Of course. You will have to meet her soon." Hela replied, "Bye, little warrior."

Hela wrapped me in a hug and kissed my forehead before pulling away and disappearing. Loki walked over to me, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped his arms around me.

"Sweet dreams, little angel." He whispered, kissing the top of my head.

I drifted off into slumber, cuddling into his side.

~~~~~~~

"When is she going to wake? I would love to meet her." A soothing voice woke me from my sleep.

"Good morning, little angel," Loki said from my side

"Morning Lo," I mumbled

"My mother is here to meet you."

I shot up at that, groaning when the pain kicked in. Loki just chuckled at me. I stuck my tongue out at him before turning towards his mother.

"Hello dear. My name is Frigga; this weirdo is my youngest son." Frigga said with a loving smile

"Hi, Frigga. I'm Amara, but I'm pretty sure you already know that if this idiot told you about me." 

Frigga laughed while Loki playfully glared at us.

"Yes, he has told me a lot about you. So has Hela." Frigga stated, "I do have a question for you, though."

Loki groaned. I elbowed him in the side, causing him to groan again

"What is it you want to ask?"

"Would you allow me to adopt you and your sisters?" Frigga asked, "You will still be able to stay here and come to Asgard whenever you wanted."

"I would have to talk about it with my sisters, but I would like that." I grinned

"It will also be able to prevent your headmaster and biological parents from trying to take you away from this family." Loki inputted, "We hold very important seats in the Wizengamot."

"That is nice to know." I smirked, "Now, let's get my sisters in here to discuss this. Also, Madame Belkov, as she is practically our mother right now."

"I actually have already talked to her about it, and she said that if you ladies agree to this, then she will allow it as long as you train and visit her once in a while," Loki said

"Wait. She is allowing us to leave the Academy and move to Asgard?" I asked shocked

"Yes, she has, but where you want to live and how you want to go all about this is up to you," Frigga replied

"Okay."

"I will go fetch your siblings," Loki said before walking out the door.

~~~~~~~

All of them agreed to the adoption, living here at the academy during the holidays and Asgard during the summers.

"Before we continue." I voiced, "How will your husband and other son feel about the new additions to the family?"

"Thor will be excited to have more younger siblings. Odin will be fine with it once he meets you all, and I tell him that I came up with the idea of this." Frigga answered, "He has gotten used to me doing this over the years."

We all chuckled at that. We eased into talking about random things for the rest of the day.
