Summary: Tyr and his daughter, Tina, go visit Sif over the weekend.


Kevin had to admit he was anxious as they got closer and closer to their destination.

His ever perceptive daughter caught on quick. "Are you sweating, Daddy?

"What? Oh yeah, a little, hon. I'm just a little hot."

"But you have the air conditioner on." She seemed to think a minute. "Are you worried about seeing your friend?"

Sometimes she could be way too perceptive. He sighs. "Yeah, honey. I am a little."

Again she seemed to think. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Kevin nearly coughed in surprise. "What? No, Tina. Amber is an old friend who I haven't had a chance to sit down and talk with for awhile, that's all."

Tina raised a screwed-up eyebrow at him, totally not convinced.

"Tyr... there's a chance the others might not come. It might just be us. We're a family. Even if that means the dynamic has to be different this time."

She took a breath.
"I've always trusted you. Been fond of you. When I was married before, no one ever asked me if it was something I wanted. Aurvandil and Thor were both good men. Good husbands, even. But... Aurvandil was not as strong as some. Thor was strong, but rarely gentle. But Tyr... you're both. And you deserve a chance to be happy."

Tyr could scarcely believe what he was hearing. He couldn't trust implications. He had to hear it straight out.

"What are you saying, Sif?" His voice betrayed a tinge of hope.

"I'm saying I don't know what lies ahead. I don't know what the future is going to bring. But, I know we need to stand together. And... if you're willing to take this chance... Well... So am I," she said, and she squeezed his hand affectionately.

"So... if this is what you want, then... okay."

With a small "whoop" of joy hugged her to him with his good arm. F or a moment he just held her to him. Caressing her hair, taking her scent in. Until finally he got the nerve to attempt a kiss.

"Yes..more than I've ever wanted anything for myself."

Sif smiled and readily accepted the kiss, her arms wrapping around him.

"I'm sure Odin will be pleased, too," she murmured. "Now, why don't you help me finish up the muffins? I'll even let you lick the spoon."

For a time he simply enjoyed the feeling of her lips on his. When they parted he chuckled a little. "I think you're right. Let me lick the spoon? Well you certainly know how to get man's attention. Just tell me what I have to do." He was significantly more chipper as he returned to the muffins.
