Who: Emmylee and Holt
What: Emmylee invites Holt over the day after this.
When: Thursday evening
Where: Emmy and Felix' apartment

It was hard for her to focus on what she really wanted to say to him. Somehow, having Loki there made it that much more difficult to because she kept worrying if Bragi would feel the other god and be mad, so she asked Loki to take J-S out for a bit so she could see her brother. Still, alone, she couldn't quite stop herself from getting caught up in distracting thoughts.

She had been trying to read as she waited for Holt to arrive and over and over again she kept reading the same sentence. There were jagged thoughts of the loss of the baby, the one she kept calling a girl, and then there were memories of a life before this one replaying over and over again in her head. Small things, too, like the time Loki had practically called her a whore to her face and in front of all of the Aesir. He had been angry, they had thrown his children out, and his words hurt more than she ever told anyone because she had not been unfaithful to Odin then when he left for a time.

Or the time Loki presented his child, the beautiful eight legged pony, for Odin. She remembered now that he had looked vaguely pained behind his grin of pride, how had she never picked that up? Emmylee hadn't heard the first knock but the second drew her out of her daze and she stood slowly, book placed on the couch before she started toward the door.

"Coming," she called out and then she opened the door to the apartment and sighed softly at Holt.

Holt had no idea what to say to his sister. Yeah, he'd talked to a lot of women following a miscarriage. Plenty of them ended up in the emergency room. It wasn't uncommon for him to be the first person to know about such a loss, many times before the dad even knew. But it was different now. This was his sister, possibly his mother too. He tried to shake that thought, because he didn't know if the fetus that had died was his sibling or a niece/nephew. It was all so confusing.

He was determined not to bring up any of that drama though. As much as Holt wanted to talk to his sister about the insanity that had become his life in recent weeks, his problems were secondary right now. She'd suffered a terrible loss, and he was visiting her to show his support.

Holt did not come empty handed. In his left hand, there was a bouquet of red tulips, and in his right hand he carried Chinese takeout. When Emmy opened the door, he was careful not to drop either as he wrapped his arms around her in an awkward hug, because it was hard to embrace someone when your hands were full. "Hey, Emcee," he used one of his many nicknames for her. As Holt pulled back, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hope you feel like eating.. but not too much.. because I'm starving and plan on inhaling at least half this shit."

There was such a strange, overwhelming sensation that poured over her when she saw him standing there. He was her brother, that was a normal thought but to see and feel the gentle tug of Bragi's soul under made Frigga sigh softly when they embraced. She had made mistakes in her past and not telling her son she loved him as much as Baldr was one. Having just lost a child seeing one of her own made her heart soar.

"Yes, a little," she drew him in and led him to the kitchen where she helped him set down what he had. She took the flowers and went about finding a vase that wasn't already being used as several were out and about the apartment filled with flowers from Loki.

Emmylee turned to him after setting them in one and filling it with water. She watched him for a moment and then she was drawing near to him and hugging his middle.

"I love you."

	There was a strange glint of amber to her normally very brown eyes and a ring of green encircling her iris. She stroked his cheek gently and shook her head. "There is nothing you can do but be there for her when it happens. Another will see to it that she lives." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
