Adopted by Loki

Chapter 48

I woke up as I heard a groan from the general vicinity of the bathroom causing me to sit up in worry when I noticed Grace was no longer in bed with me, “dragă you in the bathroom?” a whimper confirmed my question. I wiped the sleep from my eyes walking over and noticed her hunched over the toilet with tears in her eyes, “I feel worse mama.” I dampened a cloth and wiped around her mouth before doing the same with another cloth but wiped her forehead clean of sweat, “I know sweetheart now let’s get you back in bed.” I put a hand on her back steadying her wobbly figure. I used my telepathic abilities, “Jefferson I need you to run to the store Grace’s fever seems to be back and she just puked up the soup from earlier.” I jumped as I heard his voice in my head, “alright my love anything else?” I wracked my brain, “no I believe that is all but I’ll contact you if anything else comes to mind love you.” I tucked Grace into bed and kissed her forehead, “I’ll be right back dragă I need to check on your brother alright?” she nodded, “but you’ll come right back right?” I nodded as she let go of my arm and I headed across the hall and started to open the door to the nursery when I saw Natasha and Wanda coming up the stairs, “we got this go back to Grace.” I started to argue but Natasha gave me a stern look and I sighed hugging them, “thank you.” I took a deep breath, “wait what if I need to feed him?” she held up a bottle, “do I even wanna know.” I shook my head, “nope I don’t.” I turned back into Grace’s bedroom, closing the door gently. She cracked her eyes open, “sing to me again?” I chuckled sitting next to her, “you seem to enjoy my singing.” she nodded, “your voice calms me and it’s pretty.” I smiled softly at her innocence, “okay baby any song in particular?” she shook her head I thought for a second before my lips curled into a smile.

Some days

It's hard to see

If I was a fool

Or you a thief

Made it through the maze

To find my one in a million

And now you're just a page torn from the story I'm building

And all I gave you is gone

Tumble like it was stone

Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake

Thought we built a dynasty, like nothing ever made

Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up

(And all I gave you is gone)

The scar I can't reverse

When the more it heals, the worse it hurts

Gave you every piece of me

No wonder it's missin'

Don't know how to be so close to someone so distant

And all I gave you is gone

Tumble like it was stone

Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake

Thought we built a dynasty, like nothing ever made

Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up

It all fell

It all fell

It all fell down

It all fell down

It all fell down

It all fell down

And all I gave you is gone

And all I gave you is gone

Tumble like it was stone

Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake

Thought we built a dynasty, like nothing ever made

Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up

It all fell

It all fell down

It all fell down ehhh

It all fell down

It all fell down

It all fell down

I looked over and saw that her breathing had evened out and her face looked relaxed. I kissed her forehead, tucking the blanket a little closer to her. I stood and walked out of the room almost running into Jefferson. I smiled up at him pulling him into a hug, “I got her to fall asleep for now I need to shower think you can look after her for now?” he nodded and kissed me. I placed my hand on his cheek and smiled as I looked at the ring on my finger, “I love you.” I placed a chaste kiss on his lips and headed towards our bedroom quickly grabbing a set of fresh clothes along with towels I turned on the shower allowing it to warm up as I stared in the mirror I had dark circles under my eyes I sighed running my fingers over them I stripped of the dirty clothes throwing them into the clothes hamper and climbing into the shower along the warm water to wash away my worries until later.
