Fandom Valhalla Awaits

[Forever6A7X]

Max looked at him and cupped his cheek gently "Do you remember what I told you when we first met? Powerful men must show their strength at the right time. This is your time Ivar, to show them how great you truely are." She said softly making him look at her.

Ubbe sighed heavily and frowned a bit when his phone went off again seeing his mother's name flash on the screen "Yes Modir?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned some and rung her eldest when he still hadn’t come down. “You said you would come by this morning and no show. Your brother almost died. Everything he did to keep things running for you while you got carmen to come home and you don’t even come see him? I’m gonna ask you this once and I want the truth. Did you organise this attack on him?” She asked him.

Ivar just nodded exhausted and leaned back watching her some. “I love you.” He murmured softly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and sighed softly "I love you too; once you are safe and out of here I will make the call." She whispered

Ubbe ran a hand over his face and sighed heavily "No Modir I did not organize this hit. Ivar thinks he owns everything and he does not, but I would not kill him....not with a pathetic hit. I didn't not come down because I did not see that I would be needed."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head. “I also head that you and Carmen had an argument with him. Max tells me you shoved him. Ubbe you have got to be careful. Please try to work these things out.” She told him quietly

he nodded in agreement and lay back sighing softly, starting to fall asleep again, still worn out from the attacks on his body.

-2 months-
Max stood outside of her uncle's grand mansion and took a deep breath before helping Ivar out of the car. She tensed slightly as she heard Harald's gruff voice booming from the entrance that was now opened "Svana! My beautiful niece! It is so good to see you!" She heard him say in old norse. She gave him a smile and hugged him tight as he came up to them "Uncle Harald, it is good to see you as well. Please meet my future husband, Ivar the Boneless." She spoke in old norse back to him. These past two months had been hell for her, getting in contact again with her family was not easy. Having to convince Harald with the help of Halfdan that this would be good for business was not an easy task. On top of that having to help Ivar recover was no easy task either. She was thankful though that he was well enough to travel and as far as his family was concerned they were currently on 'Vacation'.

Ubbe sat at home with Carmen watching TV and relaxing for once. Ivar was on vacation and he wouldn't have to deal with him two weeks which he was more than glad to have. Things were beyond tense in that area, it was coming to the point that the brothers could no longer be in the same room together. However, on the other hand their surrogacy had taken and Amma was officially pregnant with their child. He was over the moon with joy about it and he could not wait to finally meet their little one in 8 months.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen had been busy with helping Ubbe to gather things together in case Ivar went after them more but aside from that their time had been about getting excited and ready for a new chapter with having a baby. She was lazing across his lap when their doorbell went and she got up to answer it. She frowned as she got there to see Hvitserk at the door looking a little worried. “Hey. Come on in. Ubbe, Hvitserk is here!” She called to him.

Ivar got out of the car with a little difficulty but soon sfraightened out and made his way towards the large estate doors with max at his side. She had been there since he’d been stabbed and after everything she had done for him he couldn’t wait to officially call her his wife. “Harald Finehair. It’s good to finally meet with you in amicable circumstances.” He smiled at him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe stood up once he heard Carmen say it was his brother and walked towards them. He smiled happily at him and gave him a hug "Brother! What brings you by? How is Amma?" He asked as he led him to their living area to sit down. He frowned though once he saw the look on Hvitserk's face "Why do you look so glum?"


Herald smiled at Ivar and gave a nod "And you as well Ivar! Come, come! We have much to discuss." He said happily while leading them inside his house.


Max smiled proudly at her fiancè hoping this would work for the both of them and for their future. She followed Harald inside and took a deep breath as memories flooded her mind from all the time she spent living there. Though her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the familiar voice of her other uncle echo through the room. She quickly left Ivar's side and ran towards Halfdan engulfing him in a huge hug.

 

[decadent-rider]

Ivar smiled watchinng Max rush off while he continued to follow Harald, "From what I understand... There is a lot that you can help me with and a lot that I can do for you but you should also know off the bat that I am working with Oleg. Not that it should interfere but if it would then it's something we need to add to the mix." He told him. He had expected Harald to be taller after hearing all of the stories of him. He paused, hearing Max's voice and turned to see her walking with her other uncle.

Hvitserk frowned some, looking over them both and sighed. "She couldn't do it.... Ubbe, I'm sorry... Amma had to terminate... She hasn't left our bed in days and she barely will eat or drink... Our doctor said that it was throwing a chemical imbalance in her brain making her severely depressed.... So she's had to terminate the baby... She's at home resting now but I wanted to tell you in person.... I'm so sorry."

Carmen just froze in place, swallowing back tears and shaking her head. "You give her my love and tell her it's okay, I don't ever want her to be put at risk like that for us." She told him quietly, getting off the couch and going over, hugging him tight, nodding when he apologised again and she just walked him to the front door and watched him go then went back to Ubbe who hadn't moved or said a word yet "Ubbe...."

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max held her favorite uncle for a moment before she started to walk with him behind Harald and Ivar "I cannot thank you enough for helping with this set up. Ivar will bring you both great ideas and make you both names even more to be feared." She said softly to him.

Harald gave a small nod as he listened to Ivar smiling more "Well if Svana is right, this joining will be beneficial to the both of us." He said he explained "Oleg should not be a problem unless he tries to cause one." He murmured turning back when he noticed him looking back at his brother and niece "She was always closer to him than me."

Ubbe frowned as he listened to his brother and said nothing. He stared straight ahead of himself knowing he would say something he would regret to Hvitserk if he spoke. He understood why Amma had to do what she did, but it didn't make it hurt any less. He shook his head a bit when Carmen came back into the room and quickly stood up "Excuse me..." he muttered before taking off to his little personal gym they had in the house.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned watching him go and she just sat on the couch, crying for what felt like hours. Iskald curled up at her side, until she fell asleep from wearing herself out.

Ivar nodded to him and paused to wait for max silently, letting her know with one look that he needed a little help to keep walking.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly and quickly went to Ivar wrapping her arm around his waist to help him walk. She made it look as though she was being affectionate though so that they didn't see his stance faulter.

Ubbe took his anger out for about an hour on his punching bag until he finally came back to see her. He pulled her close to him panting slightly before he finally broke down "I'm so sorry my love....I'm so sorry." He whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

“So... shall I start calling you Svana?” He asked her softly while they followed her uncles to the large study.

Carmen frowned some and just looked up at him. “It’s almost worse that it’s not Anna’s fault but at the same time..... I wish they’d talked to us first.” She mumbled frowning, just holding Ubbe close.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max tensed as she heard her birth name fall from Ivar's lips "That is not my name....do not ever call me that." She told him seriously before giving a heavy sigh as she continued walking into the study.

Ubbe gave a small nod taking a shaky breath as he listened to her "I do wish as well that they would have spoken to us....this could have been our only chance."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smirked. “You sure? Don’t want me to moan it out on our wedding no- ow ow ow!” He yelped as she twisted his arm completely round. “Alright alright. Gods.” He muttered shaking his head “You’re so mean.”

Carmen frowned and just nodded slowly, wiping her eyes and held onto him tightly, “I don’t..... I don’t even know what to do right now. I don’t know what I can do.” She sighed a little and frowned.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max glared at him and twisted his arm around when he kept teasing "I'm sorry my love, but that is one thing I cannot have you do." She murmured giving him a quick loving kiss 'Ah young love! How I wished that could have been me at one point!' She heard Harald say.

Ubbe kissed the top of her head frowning still "There is nothing we can do....we will just have to go on."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and nodded, just holding onto him sighing a little. With everything going on she was starting to get worried about him again and she was contemplating calling Bjorn to ask him to come visit and at the very least talk to Ubbe about everything. She knew he valued his brother's insight on tough situations.

He chuckled and nodded "Fine... You win." He muttered and let her be. The first set of talks with them went fantastic but they were both worn out from their journey so headed to the room they'd been given to stay in, earlier than they usually would, Ivar going and collapsing onto the bed "I already miss our bed." He mumbled, watching her tiredly "Are you doing okay?"

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a heavy sigh not letting go of her at all for the time being "Maybe the gods have fated us to not have children.." he said quietly more to himself than anything but he knew she still heard him.

Max went on with the meetings and dinner with her uncles keeping a smiling face the entire time. Though this was killing her on the inside she wouldn't let it show, she knew Ivar needed this and her feelings for Harald had to be pushed aside. As they got into the room they would be staying in she frowned knowing every inch of it. This had been her room when she lived there. She looked over at Ivar as he collapsed onto the bed nodding softly and giving him a smile "Yes I'm fine, I'm just missing our home as well."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and pulled away shaking her head "Bullshit Ubbe! You are the one making things complicated! Because you refuse to let people know! All of this shit could have been avoided if you swallowed your goddamn pride and let us do things properly!" She snapped at him, going to go to bed in the guest bedroom for the night, absolutely fuming at him.

Ivar smiled and watched her, undoing the straps on his braces, just leaning back and sighed a little as she got them off for him, frowning some, "Come here.... I hope you know... How much you mean to me... And how much I appreciate everything you've done for me. I know I'm a miserable git and that I do not deserve you." He murmured, reaching for his bag and taking a few painkillers.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a heavy sigh and shook his head some. He knew she was right but he couldn't let go of his pride to admit it to anyone. He just wanted to be a man and give his wife a child properly.

Max smiled softly and helped get his braces of before she gently placed them on the floor "Mmm I love you so much Ivar." she whispered before she moved to lay with him "You are my everything, and I will do anything for you." she said quietly holding him close

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled holding her close. “I mean... I do have to put up with your stinky attitude so I’m basically a saint ow!” He winced as she tugged on his ear. “I was joking woman. So violent.” He chuckled and kissed her gently, pulling her in close for the night.

Carmen barely slept and she knew Ubbe had done the same cause she could hear him getting up and down all night long, going back to their room around five in the morning and frowned some seeing him hunched over the edge of the bed. “Ubbe? What’s wrong?” She asked him quietly, going and crouching in front of him when she saw he was breathing really heavy.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gasped and tugged on his ear a bit "The only thing I want to here is that I am goddess sent down by the Valkeries to you." She teased before kissing him back smiling a bit "I love you Ivar." She whispered in old norse while staring at him just taking in all of his features.

Ubbe had barely slept his chest was killing him and he was worried about everything. He took a deep breath when it became too much to bare leaning over the bed trying to catch his breath a bit. He looked slightly over at Carmen as she came in and grunted softly "Hurts....medicine...need it.." he panted

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and got up going to root through the cabinet for it but turned around hearing a loud thud and cussed under her breath, pulling her phone out to call emergency services, going back to him and knelt next to him. “Ubbe. Look at me. Hey stay with me love.” She coaxed. He looked awake but it didn’t look like he was able to recognise anything. “Just stay with me.” She whimpered, asking for an ambulance.

“I love you too. You should get some sleep. You told me your uncles get up early.” He muttered rolling his eyes and just held her close starting to drift off iketlt.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and smiling softly before she soon fell asleep in his arms. She groaned quietly hearing her alarm go off the next morning and sighed heavily. She smiled softly seeing Ivar soundly asleep next to her just watching him a bit before she shook him awake "Ivar....Ivar wake up."

Ubbe grunted as she left the room and soon fell forward onto the floor starting to pass out due to lack of oxygen. He groaned as a reply barely able to even recognize Carmen at the moment.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned as the panic set in but she needed to stay calm. Be ready to keep him with her. “No you’re not doing that mister come on.” She coaxed, rubbing her knuckles into his chest and jumped up when there was no response except a banging on the front door, rushing to let them in. It was too early for their security to be around and took them straight upstairs to him, telling them everything she could but made her move to the side when they were loading him onto the stretcher, following them down and into the ambulance, watching him carefully and terrified, finding Bjorns number first in her phone.

He grunted and swatted at her, opening one striking blue eye and just grumbled about it being not fair. “It’s too early...five more minutes.” He mumbled. “What are we even doing today?” He asked her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly at him and gave a small laugh "Harald probably wants to show you around the area. He loves boasting about his business." She murmured before she got up to get dressed and ready for the day. She made her way downstairs to the kitchen and jumped when she heard Harald's voice come from behind her "You know that is not my name." She muttered hearing him call her Svana yet again.

Bjorn frowned when he heard his phone ring so early in the morning. He saw Carmen's name flash across the screen and answered running a hand over his face "Carmen? What is it? Its 4 in the damn morning." He muttered
