TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-16

[meanwhile, bk at the Biotics' plc, a modest welcome home party was in full swing as they welcome Loki bk into their fold]

Klepta: Ooh, Loki, u hv no idea how we missed u [hugs him tight]

Loki: Is it true u guys r taking my siblings in?

Lavatina; Of course they're our family too

Loki: Where are they? [looked abt for them]

Ambrose: They're upstairs preparing a gift for u. They wanted to get u something as a welcome home present

Rouge; 8smiled8

Loki: Oh wow, they didn't hv to, not after wat happened n wat I put them thru...

Rouge; They understand

Lavinia: Yeah, they're pretty cool with it. Especially Freya, she's definitely crazy abt moving in with us [giggled]

Loki: Oh yeah, she's definitely the starstruck kind

Lavatina; 8rolled her eyes8

[soon Loki's siblings came dwnstairs bearing a huge gift in sort of crudely-wrapped present paper]

Loki: [went ovr to pick up the twins n cuddled them close while the older sibs moved the present to the living room] Wow, looks like a pretty big one. U guys shouldn't hv

Hera: We saved up a lot for this. We knw we're too poor to afford any presents for u in the past n we nvr actually got to properly celebrate ur birthday for yrs since u started working

Freyja: But its abt time u got a present frm us. The Biotics helped with watevr funds we lack

8everyone looked over8

Odin: Go on. Open it

Loki: [nodded n sets the twins dwn before he starts unwrapping the present]

Rouge; 8was holding Crystal8

[the present revealed to be a bicycle for adults, equipped with a child safety seat at the back]

Loki: Wat...? How did u...?

Hera: Mama told us that u always wanted to hv ur own bike as a kid. U fell over so many times trying to learn how to ride one wen we were at Uncle's during the summer, n u even took ur first job as a paperboy after Papa left so u could ride a bike

Freyja: U hv been trying to save so hard to get one but bcoz of us n Mama, u hardly ever get to hv save at all. So yeah, here's our gift to u

Odin: N look, Crystal can ride with u too! [points at the child safety seat]

Rouge; 8smiled8

Loki: I... I dunno wat to say...

Hera: A thank u would be enough

Freyja: Totes!

8all his siblings nodded8

Loki: Thank u guys so much [leans in to give his sibs a group hug, shedding tears of joy]

Freyja: Aww, don't cry. Now ur making ME cry

Hera: [just chuckled n hugged evn tighter]

Rouge; 8chuckled lghtly8

Odin: Can we continue with the goodies now? I'm still starved

Loki: [laughed heartily] Ah, u n ur big appetite, Odin

Rouge; 8passed Crystal to Loki8

Loki: [takes Crystal as he let his siblings help themselves to the food while he marveled the bike] I gotta admit, it looks pretty cool

Rouge; 8nods8

Loki: Would u mind putting the bike at the backyard? It's time for me to put Crystal to bed. I'll join the party as soon as she's asleep

Rouge; Sure 8brought the bike out back n chained it up8

Loki: [made his way upstairs to the nursery to nurse Crystal before tucking her in]

Rouge; 8flopped on the couch9

[Loki soon rejoined the party n they celebrated till almost late at night]

Lavinia: [was cleaning up with Lavatnia]

Loki: U guys can rest. I can do the cleaning

Rouge; No way, we'll cover everything fr now

Loki: U sure? U don't need a hand or anything?

Lavinia: U need the rest, Loki. U can do watevr u want tomorrow, but let us take care of these tonight

Lavatina; 8nodded8

Loki: Alright, if ur sure then [made his way to the room where he n Rouge shared]

Rouge; 8continued cleaning8

Loki: [went to the bathroom to take a nice long soak in the tub]

8most of the family started heading back to their own homes8

Loki: [had been so tired out frm his ordeal, he didn't realize he fell asleep in the tub]

Rouge; 8went to check on him8

Loki: [his head leaning against the wall, water getting cold as he slept] Zzzz....

Rouge; 8lifted him out8

Loki: [nuzzled against him, tho he's pretty soaked frm the tub]

Rouge; 8dried him off n brought him to their room8

Loki: [stirred a little at the manhandling, bt didn't wake up]

Rouge; 8dressed him then tucks him into bed8

Loki: [mumbled in his sleep] I love u... Rouge... Zzzz...

Rouge; 8purred n nuzzles close to him8

Loki: [cuddled close as well, sleeping soundly in his arms]
