Atoption part 1
Frigga and farbauti was talking in the living room having a laugh, Farbauti was currently four months pregnant with her third child and she was glowing. Frigga smiled to her but deep down she hated this woman, Farbauti was always complaining about getting pregnant with the children she had carried and it made Frigga sick. Frigga has two sons herself Thor and Balder. Thor was her stepson but she will always consider him as her own and Balder she carried to term before the nurses and doctors told her that she could never carry another baby. Currently Thor is fourteen and Balder is twelve. Farbauti leaned back into the sofa and relaxed, she could feel the baby move again and it was really ticking her off.
"Farbauti if you don't want anymore children then why don't you get sterilised?" "I want to but Laufey don't, he's selfish at all times now." Frigga shook her head there was so much she could take. Odin and Laufey entered the living room and sat down next to their spouses. Laufey looked at Farbauti stomach with disgust before turning to Odin once more. Frigga was shocked at the reaction and finally stood and left the room without a single word. Odin looked at her retreating figure and shrugged his shoulders at Farbauti and Laufey questioning faces.
After a hour Farbauti and Laufey left so they could pick up their other sons from school. Odin walked through the house looking for his wife, he found her in the garden sitting on the patio chair looking at the roses.
"Fray? Are you okay?" Frigga looked up at him and then back to the roses. Odin sat down on the next seat and held her hand. "Fray?" "I hate that woman" Odin blinked he wasn't expecting that. "But why Fray? We've been friends with them for years." "You saw the look he gave to her! How could somebody be so hateful about a innocent baby!?" Odin leaned away at her out burst and held his hand up to show her to calm down. "Fray I know your taking this to heart but-" "I am not!" Frigga stood up and glared at Odin, Odin has never seen his wife like this and to be honest he was afraid at this moment. "She kept on complaining that she didn't want this baby and how terrible it is to feel the baby move! Even though I've told her plenty of times that I've always wanted another child, she just rubs it in my face!" Frigga turned away she felt her eyes burn with the tears that wanted to be let go, but she couldn't help herself and try to hide it. Odin stood up and wrapped his arms around his wife and hugged her close. Frigga let her emotions go and cried into his chest. Odin hushed her with kind words, he too knew she had always wanted another child but frankly he wasn't young anymore. He is in his forties and was very busy with the company, he never really thought how much his dear wife wanted another child. "Fray.. please stop crying my dear I hate it when you do." Frigga slowly stopped crying and pulled away slightly.
"I'm sorry." Odin shook his head and kissed her forehead. "Don't apologise Fray, I never really thought how much you wanted a child and that is my fault." Frigga still looked glum but he knew she will come around soon.
It has been a couple months since the Borsons has seen Farbauti and Laufey, and to make matters worse Frigga could stop thinking about the poor baby that will have to live with them. Frigga was washing the dishes, while Odin was putting away the already washed ones, it is a Saturday so Thor and Balder were playing games in the living room. Suddenly the kitchen phone started to ring. Frigga whipped her hands and answered the phone. "Hello?" "Hello is this Frigga Borson?" "Yes speaking." "This is doctor Michelle, I am calling on the behalf of Farbauti." Frigga gripped the phone tightly. "Yes she is a friend is there anything wrong?" Odin looked over to her in question. "Yes, you see Mrs Farbauti has been arrested and so has her husband and since she is pregnant it has brought on premature labour." Frigga gasped. "Is the baby alright?" The urgency was easily picked up in her voice. "The child has not been delivered yet , we are preparing as we are speaking, both her and her husband has lost all prenatal rights on this child and we are contacting anyone that is close to them to come to the hospital as soon as possible" "yes we'll be there very soon!" Frigga put down the phone and ran to get her coat. Odin was right behind her. "What was it?" "Farbauti and Laufey has been arrested and Farbauti went into early labour!" Odin also trapped his coat and told Thor that they will be gone for couple of hours. Frigga let Odin drive since she couldn't stop shaking, the baby was seven months only and for once Frigga couldn't help but feel the hatred to the parents grow more.
Soon as Odin and Frigga entered the hospital they went straight to the main reception and told the receptionist that a doctor had called for them to come straight away. The receptionist checked her computer and told them to go to the maternity ward. Frigga and Odin sat down and waited for doctor Michelle to re-enter the room. Frigga was getting more anxious as the time went on, what did they do to get themselves arrested? Not long later a doctor came into the room and sat down opposite them. "Are you Frigga borson and Odin borson?" "Yes." Frigga answered. Doctor Michelle nodded and signed. "Right okay, the baby is born but he wasn't breathing when he born so he is in intensive care." Frigga gasped and felt her heart stop. "Will he be okay?" Odin questioned. "To be honest it is unsure, Farbauti was high in drugs when she was brought in so we don't know how much damage has been done." Frigga stiffened and tightened her fists, Odin too stiffened it was obvious that he was shocked about this news. "Why did you contact us?" Asked Odin. "Like I said you Mrs Borson, I needed to contact any close friends or relatives, but since there are no close relatives you two were the only people that we could contact." "What's going to happen to the baby?" Frigga asked. "He is being put into adoption as we speak, which is why we need you both to sign a few papers as witnesses." "Wait! So no one is going to take him?!" "The social worker will take him to the home once he is healthy." Frigga shook her head."no!" Doctor Michelle sat back and Odin tried to calm Frigga down. "Fray sweetheart.." "we'll take him!" Odin stared for a moment before turning back to the doctor, who still looked shocked. "Yes we'll take him into our custody." Doctor Michelle snapped out of her trance and nodded. "Right.. you and the social worker can talk over the custody, but if you like we can go and see him now." Frigga nodded she wanted to see the little baby that is to be her son.
