Date: May 15, 2000
Setting: Manor Library
Status: Private (Uriel and Loki -- Complete)
Summary: Uriel runs into Loki in the library.


Thankfully she hadn't run into anyone on her way to the library -- not that it was a long way, what with her room being quite close. She had managed to avoid any awkward questions until then and hopefully would continue to avoid them until her pregnancy became impossible to hide anymore.

She held the stack of books under one arm while opening the door to the library. They had been quite helpful; she now knew a lot more about what exactly was happening in her body, and what would happen over the next eight months. Sure, she still had a lot to read and learn, but she now knew the basics.

Although her way to the library had indeed been uninterrupted, she hadn't expected anybody to be in the library itself. However, somebody was indeed there. A bit surprised, she watched the bald head bent over a book.

"Loki?" she asked. "I didn't take you as the type to read."

Loki ran all the way back to the room he shared with Odin. Luckily his brother was working at the moment, so he had the room to himself.

He spent the next twenty minutes sobbing into Odin's pillow until he'd finally cried himself out.

Only once he had calmed down did he notice the book he'd dropped onto the bed beside him. It was an excellent source of information on the various medicines his doctor kept mentioning, but he shouldn't read it here, where Odin could see it. He didn't want to take it back right away either, so, after a frantic look around the room, he stuffed it into his couch. Unless Odin got the crazy idea to make his bed for him it should be quite safe there.
