Fandom Valhalla Awaits

[Forever6A7X]

Halfdan sat with him and kept his axe close just in case "Harald met her mother at a charity event, her family had been allies with ours. She got along well with him, they were friends. However, as time went on and we all became friends...Harald fell in love with her. He swore they were fated to be together...Ava did not feel the same." He explained before giving a heavy sigh "We all went on like normal but Harald was making things hard, never letting Ava breathe or have a life if it did not include him. She deserved so much better." He murmuref before taking another swig of his beer "Ava got pregnant and Harald did not take well to it....it was a...a body guard at the time. Harald had him killed almost instantly and locked her away from the world saying it was what was best for her." He said shaking his head a bit as the memories he had long locked away came flooding back.

Bjorn quickly hug up the phone and rushed to Carmen pulling her off the floor and into a chair just down the way "Hey shhh shh you gotta try to calm down or they'll make you leave the building." He said quietly to her just rocking her a bit to try and calm her down

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head, "He just went grey! He was tryna talk to me and he wasn't... I can't lose him... This isn't fair!" She sobbed into his shoulder, sitting there with him until she had nothing more to cry, just staring at the wall while she waited for some kind of answer.

Ivar frowned and watched him, "And that was a long time ago... Get to the point or I am leaving this conversation." He spat, impatient as always, nto caring who he was talking to

 

[Forever6A7X]

Halfdan rolled his eyes shaking his head a bit "What is it she finds attractive in you?" He teased chuckling as Ivar grew angrier "Anyways, after Maxine was born, Harald kept them both trapped. He wanted them to be a family, Ava refused. She sure was stubborn, I guess its where Maxine got it from." He said giving a fond smile at the memory "Ava came to me one day saying Harald had lost his mind, that he was going to kill her and Maxine if she refused his proposal again...I helped her flee to America to get away. She was safe there, her and Maxine both." He said taking a deep breath staring at the table to regain his composure about it "She died when Maxine was 15...cancer." he muttered the grip on his bottle tightening "So she came.back here, so we could care for her. Harald though...he never ceased to remind Max of her mother's 'betrayal' or how he had wished it was her who had died not her mother." He explained shaking his head a bit

Bjorn did not let go of her the entire time taking a deep breath just letting her cry until his brother and mother arrived "We have no news." He said quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and moved to go stand down the hall and let them talk, not wanting to be around Hvitserk right now. She knew it wasn't his fault but the irrational part of her wanted so badly to blame someone that it was leaning towards him and she was worried she would lash out. She stayed down there until the door opened and she made her way back over quickly. "What is going on with my husband?!" She questioned the doctor who came out.

Ivar grit his teeth and stood up when he was done "You might be some famous warrior.... But you're not a very good liar.... I think it is rather obvious that she is not your niece .... The way you talk about her mother.... You are Max's father aren't you?" He smirked seeing the look on Halfdan's face "Nothing gets past me... Maybe it's the fact I have a brain that she likes me.... And with that out in the open.... I am going to bed." He told him, limping out of the kitchen.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Halfdan went a bit wide eyed when Ivar spoke and took a deep breath. He got up and rushed after him stopping in his tracks "Listen...if you want her safe from him you keep this between the two of us understand? He will kill her if he finds out." He told him seriously before taking a deep breath and letting him pass.

The doctors came out and sighed heavily looking at Carmen "We are taking him for another MRI on his lungs, it seems as though he is getting blockage which with his heart issues is causing issues on his breathing."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smirked a little "I'm a cripple... not an idiot." He snorted and headed up to the room they were staying in, getting changed and going to lay down looking over at Max, sighing a little seeing she was asleep by now and just drifted off next to her

Carmen frowned shaking her head "His lungs? He's never.... When can I see him?" She questioned him, "And is he going to be okay? Is it something he can recover from?" She asked him desperately, watching them starting to bring him out to take him for the MRI, quickly taking ubbe's hand and walking with them as far as she could go

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max woke up in the morning and frowned softly seeing painkillers and water next to her nightstand. She took it and looked up seeing Ivar crawling from the bathroom. She stayed quiet remembering how he spoke to her the night before and shook her head a bit before she went to get ready ignoring him for now.

The doctor sighed heavily and gave a small nod "We hope so, the MRI should show what is wrong." He murmured before he got her to stay back

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and stayed out of the way, going to sit with the family again frowning, explaining everything the doctor had told her until after an hour or so they were all allowed back into his room and she went to lay with him when he reached for her. “I’m here love. I’m here.” She murmured, kissing his head and just let him rest against her.

Ivar said not a word to her the whole way back to the air strip and not until they were on the jet back to Kattegat. “What we’re you thinking?” He questioned her. “Cause that was not a good idea to get drunk on a nightbefore we travel.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Msx frowned softly as spoke to her on the flight back "I was thinking that I was feeling like shit, that I was beyond stress and needed to relax. So I did so with my uncle. I would say sorry but I am not sorry for my actions. I also do not appreciate how you spoke to me Ivar. I know you are upset but do not ever disrespect me like that again." She said seriously before looking straight ahead and staying silent

Ubbe groaned softly keeping the mask on his face to help with his breathing "Lungs....hurt..." he whispered squeezing her hand tightly "I...love...you."

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned. “Your uncle told me everything. Why would you not mention this before we made a trip to see them?” He pointed out. “I’m not stupid. I would not have forced you to go if I had known you didn’t want to.” He muttered

She nodded, rubbing his arm gently. “Rest love. Just rest.... Hvitserk and your mother are here.” She murmured

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned softly and gave a heavy sigh shaking her head a bit "Harald cannot be trusted fully, I had to come to make sure he kept up his end of the deal..." she said softly as she looked at her lap "I guess now you see why I say that I am American."

Ubbe groaned softly and nodded a bit closing his eyes as he started to fall asleep again.

 

[decadent-rider]

He just nodded. “Is there anything else you haven’t told me? Cause right now I’m wondering why I’ve told you everything about my life. You know me inside out and yet I’m continually learning different things.” He snapped, getting up and making his way to the back to get a drink.

she frowned and kissed his head, smoothing his hair back and just trying to soothe him until he was asleep, looking to Auslaug. “I feel like I’m losing him.” She said quietly, her voice breaking.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max took a deep breath and let a few tears fall as he snapped at her "No....there is nothing else.." she said quietly before wiping her tears "I'm sorry Ivar I just....I was selfish and I was scared that if you found out...you would leave." She said softly before she got up to use the restroom just wanting to be away from him to gain her composure

Aslaug frowned as she sat next to Carmen shaking her head softly "No my dear no....you aren't loosing him, he would never leave you like this." She whispered trying to stay positive about this.

 

[decadent-rider]

He got back to his seat, shaking his head a little and leaned back, not saying a word the rest of the flight home, taking their car straight back to their house to find his mothers car parked right outside. “What do you want?” He asked her as he got out with a lot of effort and frowned. “If this is about Ubbe I do not care. Just tell me when his funeral is.” He muttered.

Carmen nodded, sitting with him a while longer til they had to go home and she curled up next to Ubbe, watching him the whole time and enjoying the peace and quiet as much as she could while he was like this. She sat up when he woke up again and frowned giving his hand a squeeze. “Hey.... think you could eat something if I help you?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aslaug looked at Ivar in shock when she heard his words as she walked over to him "He is your brother Ivar and you need to see him! What if he dies?!" She asked worriedly as she followed him inside the house

Ubbe gave a small nod and took a deep breath "No solid..." he muttered knowing he probably couldn't chew much at the moment "Love...you.." he wheezed

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and frowned. “I’ll see what I can do okay?” She murmured, kissing his head, getting up “I love you too. You wait here ... well... where else you gonna go?” She smiled a little and gave his hand a squeeze, “Our security guys are outside now. We got permission to have them stationed here.” She told him, leaving to get him something to eat, coming back with a tray smiling. “Alright. I got some soup, crackers we can make soft.... and orange juice.” She told him,

Ivar glared at her. “Then it’s what the gods wanted. I don’t care either way. It’s not my problem... Plus it would make my job a lot easier. The fighting would stop... mostly benefits to me if he dies.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave her a lazy smile as she came back in "Mmm good..." he whispered taking a deep breath trying to stay awake for now "You okay?"

Aslaug glared at her youngest son and soon slapped him across the face "You take that back! Your brother has done anything to keep your father's ambitions alive and having his sons at odds was not it!" She yelled before leaving

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and watched him, getting everything set down and moved the bed so he was still laying down but he was sat up. “That’s a silly question.” She mumbled. “I’m worried about you....” she told him, sitting on the edge of the bed and waited while a nurse was changing the oxygen for him so he would be able to eat then started helping him. “I’m not ready to lose you.... I never will be but especially not yet.”

Ivar grit his teeth, muttering about why were all the woman crazy in his life and made his way into his study, shutting the door behind him, sitting in there until there was a knock on the door around eleven pm, looking up to see max walking in. “Hey.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe chuckled softly as the nurse finished changing his oxygen "I am sorry...I never....meant...to...worry you." He said quietly before he started eating slowly with her

Max sighed softly going on with her day letting him have the alone time to get through everything. Though when she saw that the clock read 11 p.m. she went to his study and knocked lightly on the door before walking in "Hey...its 11...I just thought I'd come tell you goodnight and to not stay up too late." She said softly to him

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and pushed away from the desk. “Can you come here a sec?” He asked quietly, reaching for her.

Carmen smiled and grabbed his chin gently. “Stop talking.... plus if you were doing it on purpose I’d kill you myself... Bjorn has Iskald for us. Sigurd obviously hasn’t been down.... and Ivar is... your mother said he never even responded.... but Bjorn is taking care of your side or things to keep it all safe for now.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and moved sit on his desk infront of him "Yeah?" She asked softly as she looked at him hoping he wasn't as mad as he had been.

Ubbe nodded some and gave a heavy sigh as he continued to eat with her help. Once he finished he squeezed her hand feeling a little better "You need to eat too." He whispered

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head and gently pulled her towards him so she was sat on his lap, slipping his arms around her and kissed her shoulder. “I’m sorry.” He murmured, “I stand by what I said about I want you to stop keeping things from me but I’m sorry I yelled at you about everything.” He murmured.

She smiled and nodded. “I know. But Jarvis is getting me some noodles while he’s getting our blankets and you some underwear.” She told him, helping him lay back down. “You want me to take your braids out later? Let your head relax a bit?” She asked him but frowned when she heard a commotion in the hall and looked out the door to see Margrethe stood there. “Oh you gotta be kidding.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max pressed her cheek to the top of his head as she held him and gave a small nod "I won't keep any secrets I promise." She murmured kissing running her fingers through his hair "Harald wants me dead....he hates that my mother chose another man instead of him. I'm a constant reminder of it." She explained quietly "Its why Halfdan helped me leave."

Ubbe gave a small nod and sighed softly "Yeah that would be nice." He murmured but frowned seeing Margrethe trying to get inside "Fucking hell what does she want now?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and gently placed a hand on his chest. “Just rest. I’ll handle it alright?” She murmured, walking out the room and shut the door behind her. “Margrethe..... what are you doing here?” She questioed.

He nodded and frowned. “And I’m not going to let him touch a hair on your head I swear it.” He murmured to her, kissing her softly. “I love you... we should go to bed.” He mumbled, getting up carefully and made his way up with her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max kissed him lovingly and nodded softly before she got up and helped him to bed "Mmm can I braid your hair tomorrow?" She asked softly as she layed with him in bed "I miss your braids." She said giggling a bit

Margrethe frowned when she saw Carmen come out of the room "I am here to see Ubbe, I heard he was hurt again. He needs me there, I know how to take care of him."
