Fandom Valhalla Awaits

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and just held onto him desperately. “My father is going to kill you himself.” She whimpered, burying her face into his shoulder and holding him tighter than she ever had before, sobbing uncontrollably into his shoulder as it all came out.

Ivar nodded and smiled. “Why not? They have 8 weeks off of school and what’s a few more after that? They don’t need school for where they’re going in life.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe wrapped his arms around her and held her close nodding some "I know....its a risk I had to take.." he whispered letting a few tears fall as he heard her sobs trying his best to comfort her "I'm so sorry Carmen.....I can't tell you it enough.."

Max smiled more and gave a small nod to him "School is very important Ivar, but I think a vacation will be great for us." She said happily

 

[decadent-rider]

“Pa! They are Lothbroks. They do not need school.” He muttered shaking his head and held his little girl close. He loved his sons dearly but his daughter was the most important thing in his life. From the moment she’d been born she’d been his whole world. “Why don’t you children go occupy yourselves until dinner. I need to speak with your mother.” He told them, sending the three of them off and he pat the space next to him for max to joint him.

Carmen frowned and held him for around half an hour before finally pulling back, looking a mess. “Your hair is gone…. And it’s blond.” She frowned some, trailing her fingers over the tattoos over his hands. Glad he’d not got rid of those at least. “Don’t you ever leave my sight again.” She frowned, wiping at her eyes then moved to sit across his lap and hold him again

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly lettimg the kids run off before she went to sit next to Ivar cuddling close to him "Hello my love." She murmured before kissing him softly

Ubbe gave a small nod and chuckled lightly "I had to change so no one would recognize me.." he whispered before he leant in and captured her lips with his

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and pulled him closer, kissing him back once, "You should go see your daughter. She's as confused as I am... She won't be asleep yet." She mumbled.

He smiled, lifting his legs to set them on the coffee table and pulled her in tight, "Mmm... I missed you." He murmured, "It was a cold autumn in Kiev." He murmured softly to her, "I could have done with you keeping my bed warm and talking me to sleep." He murmured, wincing when something pulled in his hip

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe held her close for a little longer before giving a small nod "I will speak with her." He murmured quietly before he stood up and went to Asta's room. He smiled softly seeing her scurry to try and pretend to be asleep "I know you are pretending.."

Max smiled softly and cuddled close to him "Mmm yes I would have liked that too, but I must look after our children." She said softly before kissing his cheek frowning as his winced "How has your pain level been as of late?"

 

[decadent-rider]

he smiled tiredly, shakiing his head "Not great.... But I have an appointment before we leave. And I've had much worse." He murmured, "Is your father coming down this weekend still?" He asked her quietly, enjoying the peace that came with being at home with his familt

Asta frowned and looked over at him, a little nervously "Jeg vet hvem du er." (I know who you are.) She told him in the Norwegian Carmen had made sure she knew from when she could first talk. "Du er pappaen min." She told him frowning "Where have you been?" She asked him frowning, just confused by the whole thing.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe moved to sit on the edge of her bed giving a small smile "Your Norwegianis very good. Your mother taught you well." He said softly before giving a heavy sigh "I have been in hiding....my job was very dangerous when you were a baby. It caused me to have to leave." He explained quietly

Max gave a small nod and smiled some "Yeah he is, should be here for a couple days." She murmured yawning a bit and got up once the doorbell rung

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned still, not really knowing what to do. “Can you go away please?” She asked him frowning.

Carmen sighed as she listened out in the hallway. Surely he didn’t expect to show up and things be perfect. As hard as she’d worked to tell Asta everything about him, he hadn’t been there and she didn’t really know him.

 

[decadent-rider]

Ivar got up to go get the kids into the dining room, sitting down once and brought the food in but excused himself before everyone was done, heading up to bed and lay there, staring at the ceiling.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe took a deep breath but gave her a small toothless smile and nodded some "Yeah I can do that...sleep good okay?" He said quietly before he got up and left the room.

Max made her way up to bed after she got the kids settled in their rooms. She smiled softly as him as she stripped to her night clothes and climbed into bed with him "How are you feeling?"

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned some and took his hands “Come to bed with me.” She mumbled, gently guiding him to the room she’d been using since they’d moved there and found him some of his old comfy clothes in the wardrobe, eventually getting settled down in bed with him. “I don’t…. I’m scared I’m gonna wake up and this has been one crazy realistic dream.” She mumbled frowning.

he smiled and pulled her in closer, “Mmm better with my wife here. You excited for the holiday?” He asked her quietly, tracing patterns on her arms.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a small nod and sighed softly before he followed her to the room. He changed and layed with her cupping her face some "I promise you I'll be here in the morning." He whispered

Max nodded happily and smiled "Yeah I am, I can't wait to show the kids all these places." She said softly kissing him gently

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and held onto him tightly, burying her face into his shoulder, eventually falling asleep when she couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore, wrapped around him so he couldn’t leave.

He smiled tiredly and nodded. “I got us a hotel for tomorrow night as well. Give you a break away from the kids.” He murmured to her, “I missed hou.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily at him and cuddled close "Mmm I missed you too my love." She murmured softly before she started to drift to sleep

Ubbe woke up the next morning groaning softly as the light flooded in from the curtains that morning. He turned over and smiled widely seeing Carmen asleep next to him. He had dreamt of this sight again many a time before but now it was real and it brought him immense happieness

 

[decadent-rider]

Ivar got up earlier than normal, heading downstairs to get some coffee going and got sat down carefully at the breakfast bar, enjoying the peace and quiet until he heard little footsteps and smiled seeing Frida wandering over and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. “God moren.” He murmured, letting her climb up to sit next to him. “Vil du ha noe frokost?” He asked her quietly, going to get her some cereal when she nodded. “Are your brothers awake yet?” He asked her quietly

Carmen was starting to wake up, looking over at Ubbe and frowning some, gently reaching to him and trailing her fingers over a few different scars that she had never seen.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Frida woke up and made her way downstairs knowing her dad would be down. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and shook her head some "No Papa, they sleeping." She murmured before climbing into the chair next to him.

Ubbe sighed softly and kissed her hand gently "Good morning." He whispered watching her a bit "I love you."

 

[decadent-rider]

She just continued watching him and frowned a bit. “Where were you?” She asked him quietly. Part of her was still furious that he had put them through that for eight years and it would take a while before she could trust him again.

He nodded and set her cereal bowl down in front of her. “Alright. Then why are you awake little monkey?” He smiled and tickled her tummy a little.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a heavy sigh and pulled her in closer to him "I was in Australia for a few years, but I've been Italy the past two....I've been keeping my eyes on you two." He admits not wanting to hide anything from her.

Frida giggled softly as he tickled her and shrugged some "I had a bad dream....you got really sicky." She said quietly as she stirred the cereal he had made for her around.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned shaking her head. “And what we’re you gonna do if I found someone else? Fuck it I almost did. Cause I would not have taken you back.” She told him seriously. “Did you even think this through? And I mean properly…. Your daughter knows of you but you will never get those eight years back with her.” She muttered.

He frowned and just kissed her head. “I’m alright sweetheart.” He murmured, rubbing her back a little. “Finish your breakfast.” He told her, going back up to bed to wake max hp.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe took a deep breath and nodded a bit "I would have dealt with it. Carmen I thought this through and the only way for us to be truely safe was to do what I did." He said seriously

Max grumbled quietly when she felt him wake her up but soon smiled when his face came into her sight. She reached up and cupped his cheek gently "Good morning handsome."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head. “I’m not letting you leave again. But that was the most selfish thing you could have done. And all it did was hurt everyone it involved.” She told him seriously, getting up to go get Asta up and breakfast sorted.

He smiled and turned to kiss her palm. “Good morning. Frida is downstairs with some cereal.” He murmured to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe gave a heavy sigh and shook his head a bit "Alright..." he muttered before he got up and ready for the day. He sat down in the kitchen after he was ready and watched as Asta came into the room "Goodmorning Asta." He said softly

Max smiled some and gave a small nod "She is such an early bird, just like you." She murmured getting up and stretching "The other two awake?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled tiredly, sitting back down carefully "Not really... I just couldn't sleep cause my hip was aching." He muttered, rubbing his face a little and pulling her to lay back with him again, "No... No moving yet please." He mumbled.

Carmen frowned as she headed back up hearing Asta sounding so unsure while she went to get dressed and take a shower, heading back down and sat next to Ubbe "Why don't we go into the city? Head into Rome and go get some lunch." She suggested, giving his hand a squeeze. She was so torn at the moment as to how to feel around him and she thought that going out as a famikly might help that. "Plus I need to find a new dress for Luca's wedding.... And Maria needs to call me about the bridesmaid stuff." She muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max cuddled in close to him as he pulled her back and gave a small smile "Alright alright.." she murmured but frowned when he had mentioned his hip "Do we need to see the doctor before our vacation? I don't want you getting hurt."

Ubbe sighed softly at her reaction mentally beating himself up for it all "That sounds nice, maybe we can go on a shopping trip for Asta too." He said smiling a bit at the little girl but looked away when she just stared at her food looking a bit scared.
