Fandom Valhalla Awaits

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe frowned more and shook his head a bit before he got up and took her away from all the people. He got her towards an empty alley and soon backed her against the wall "Would fucking rather Asta be dead? Huh? Would you want her dead?!" He said through gritted teeth having not wanted to tell her this but it seemed he would have to now.

Max gave a small sigh and nodded a bit making sure Halvdan and Baldur were both comfortable with a movie before she sat down trying to relax

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and pushed back against him. “Why would you even voice something like that?! Of course I don’t want my daughter dead!” She spat at him.

Eventuallythey all got settled onto the flight after the car ride and Ivar watched the kids all fall asleep one after the other, just sitting there and watching them tiredly, his back already screaming at him in agony like it did every day now. He could no longer feel his legs and to begin with it had been good. The pain levels more manageable than they had been in years but then it started in his back and now it was usually most of his upper chest and even up into his jaw on the worst days.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe took a deep breath and nodded some "Exactly. Carmen you don't know the full extent that Ivar had in reach. He had spies everywhere, even America. I knew the minute we touched down he had found us. It was either me or he would come for our daughter. So I took myself out of the equation to protect her. I know you needed me, I know she did too but Carmen she would be dead had I not have left. There would have been no stopping it." He explained before he let a few tears fall "I had to keep you both safe because I knew if you lost her you would have died too."

Max sighed softly as the kids soon fell asleep and turned to look at Ivar "Talk to me....please?"

 

[decadent-rider]

carmen just glared at him. “You wanna guilt trip me with that?! Really?! Then why didn’t you cut Ivars throat when you had the chance?! I know you got the opportunity but you couldn’t fucking do it.” She spat at him, still trying to push him off of her.

He frowned and looked over at her. “Talk about what? What’s the fucking point?” He muttered, grumpier than usual already because his back was in so much pain

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment "I'm not trying to guilt you with anything! I'm trying to get you to understand damn it! I wouldn't cut his throat because I wasn't going to become him! I had the chance to kill him from behind, I could have become a scum of a man who does such a thing but I didn't. I couldn't kill my brother!"

Max frowned more and gave a heavy sigh "Ivar the kids are catching on, I know you are unhappy but they don't understand. Baldur has already asked if its their fault....please can we try to act like we were for this trip? For them..not for me."

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned and grit her teeth, trying to bite her tongue from telling him the conversation Asta had had with her the previous night but when he started back on the victim mentality again she lost it "Asta wants you to go away!" She snapped at him. "She is scared and she doesn't want you here. And honestly... at this point I don't know if I want you here either. You tore my world apart and this haphazard way of just showing up out of the blue? You are the reason that things are so weird at the house!" She told him frowning.

He frowned and looked up at the ceiling, "They aren't stupid." He muttered "Of course they're catching on." He muttered. "Then explain it to them." He muttered, clenching his jaw a little and frowned, "How much longer before something else breaks and I can't move at all? Huh? What then?" He grunted at her, rubbing his face and tried to sit up more, "Good talk." He muttered and put his headphones on.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe frowned more and gave a heavy sigh "I fucking know okay?! I can tell by the way she acts. I know what I fucking did Carmen, would you like me to leave?! I'll fucking go again if its what you want! I wanted you safe and I'm fucking sorry that its fucking selfish for me to want my family safe!" He yelled before let her go and walked off

Max frowned more and shook her head a bit before she turned her attention back to the book she had brought on board.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head, walking back in the direction of her car, away from himm, shaking a little still but no matter how bad she wanted to go running after him, the way he had pulled her in and out of his life was exhausting and she couldn't do it anymore. Especially not with a dsughter in the mix. She headed out to her Dad's place once she got the car and knocked on the door to collect Asta.

Ivar woke up as they were landing and just gripped at the armrests as he was jostled a little, having to wait for the kids to get off and everything before Max and their steward helped him to get out and straight to the taxi to take them to their hotel in Dublin, having Frida cuddled into his side again the whole car journey/

 

[Forever6A7X]

Asta came out into the lounge when her grandpa called her and smiled wide seeing only her mother there "Mommy!!!" She said exctiedly as she ran into her arms

Max sighed heavily as she did her best to get Ivar into the car with the help of the steward. She held her boys close as they made their way to the hotel kissing the tops of their heads gently

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned a little as they eventually got to their suite and he stayed quietly to the side while the kids explored, starting to feel a little weird but he was putting it down to getting tired from the travel. “Frida, come get your blanket to put it on the bed you choose.” He told her quietly, kissing her head as she walked past.

“hey baby…. You ready to go home? We need to have a little chat okay? Once we get there so get your stuff.” She told her tiredly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly as the children picked out their beds and then went scouting the suite. She helped Ivar into their bed and gave a small smile "I love you my love." She said softly before kissing him softly "You are my everything."

Asta raised a small eyebrow but gave a small nod "Okay mama." She murmured before she ran off to collect her things "Bye Grandpa! I love you!"she yelled to her grandpa as she waved goodbye when they walked out to the car.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and just gave her hand a squeeze. “I love you too…. How many kids are we gonna wake up with in the bed do we think?” He asked her frowning.

Carmen sighed quietly. “Asta… do you want to get to know your dad and have time with him?” She asked her carefully not wanting to accidentally sway her one way or the other.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max moved to lay next to him and thought of a moment "I say just two, but who know Baldur might slip in." She murmured softly

Asta frowned softly at her question and looked at the ground "I don't know.....he...he I don't know mommy." She said honestly giving a heavy sigh

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded a little slowly and shut his eyes tight against a pin up his back then relaxed again, “probably.” He mumbled, falling asleep and breathing a little heavy.

She frowned and pulled into their driveway seeing Ubbes car was gone before turning to her little girl. “I know it’s really really hard and it’s a big decision. Your daddy loves you though and he wants to be there for you now that he can be. We aren’t going to live with him. But he still wants to be the best dad possible.” She explained. “I want you to have a think about it and let me know okay?” She asked her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max held him close and sighed softly giving a small smile as Frida came into the room looking for Ivar "Hello Princess...Daddy is asleep right now."

Asta frowned more and gave a small nod "Okay mommy....why did he leave? Is he going to stay away again?" She asked quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned but climbed into the bed anyway. “But it’s still early mamma.” She mumbled, cuddling into her mom instead. “Is daddy painful again?” She asked her pouting a bit. It had been a big adjustment for all of them with Ivar losing even more mobility and although he tried to hold it together in front of the kids still there were times he just couldn’t stop from yelling out.

She frowned and shook her head. “Because I told him we weren’t ready to have him live with us right now. And we would have to see if it would work first. Baby what your daddy did was really horrible for you and me but it was horrible for him too. And he did it to keep us safe…. He’s going to his house in town and you can go see him and he can come see you… but maybe some day he can come live here again.” She told her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a heavy sigh and nodded softly "I know baby but daddy is sleepy and hurting." She said softly kissing the top of her head some "Are you hungry? I can get you and your brothers some food." She murmured

Asta frowned more and gave a small nod "He left to keep us safe? Why would we need to be safe?" She asked having not known a thing about her father's family or the illegal businesses that her families ran.

 

[decadent-rider]

Frida frowned and poured more, looking the spitting image of her father. “I kiss it better.” She told her, leaning over and kissing her dads head before getting up to go get her brothers and ask if they wanted food.

She sighed quietly and shook her head. “It’s something we will discuss more once you’re older. My point is that he did what he did for us. Yes it was a bad way to do it but sweetheart your daddy loves you. More than anything in this world.” She assured her, getting out and going inside with her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sighed softly but gave a small smile as Frida kissed her father's head. She always had such a big heart and it made her happy to see it. She yawned some and got up went out to find get with the kids.

Asta followed her inside and nodded some "But if what he did was to keep us safe and you know that....why did you make him leave?" She asked "Why did you not tell me why he left?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and shook her head "Because he never told me.... Look... you're on summer break, I think it's time we go visit some family up in Norway.... I'll text your father to let him know we've gone up there okay? I want you to go pack a few bags okay?" She asked her, "I'll get grampa to watch Jack." She told her as the dog ran to greet his fvorite little person.

Ivar woke up to an empty suite, confused and a little panicked as he tried to get over to his phone, barely getting it unlocked when he started feeling weird again and blacked out. In the process of slipping into a seizure he had accidentally dialled Max's number but he was making no noise once she picked up

 

[Forever6A7X]

Asta smiled happily as Jack came up to greet her "We should have Daddy come with us....its his family right?" She said quietly before running to her room with Jack

Max frowned a bit seeing Ivar's number pop up. She was out with the kids just grabbing a few things to eat "Ivar? Babe I'm on my way home with the kids. We're getting food do you want anything?" She asked frowning more as she heard a thud and a groan before silence. She went wide eyed thinking something was wrong and quickly gathered the kids

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed heavily and dialled Ubbe's number frowning some, "Hey, I'm taking Asta to go see Bjorn... I don't care if it's in Norway anymore, I don't care what you think of this... She deserves to know him and he deserves to see his niece." She muttered "I'm thinking we'll be gone over the weekend." She told him.

By the time they got back he was passed out on the floor and not breathing, blood coming down his chin and he was on his back on the floor

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe frowned some as he answered his phone shaking his head some "No Carmen she cannot go there! Bring Bjorn down here but she cannot go there! Ivar will find her!"

Max rushed into their room and went wide eyed "Ivar!" She yelled before slamming the door quickly so the kids didn't see. She quickly called 911 for an ambulance then started CPR.

 

[decadent-rider]

She grit her teeth and shook her head at that "Try fucking stopping me Ubbe! As someone who is dead you have no parental rights. So you're lucky I even told you." She spat down the line, hanging up and calling Bjorn's number, frowning some, getting closer and closer to a breakdown every time she spoke to Ubbe.

It was twenty minutes before an ambulance arrived at the hotel, another three before they got up to the room and then another ten before they got any kind of pulse, loading him quickly and telling Max where they were taking him but left without her, needing to get him to the hospital as soon as possible so they could try and limit the damage he would sustain.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Bjorn answered the phone when he heard Carmen's ringtone and smiled happily. "Hey there, its been a bit. How are you?" He asked softly

Max cried quietly and shook her head as she got the kids settled. She got Sven in the room before she rushed off to the hospital
