❛ request | For 5cw: Soon-to-be dad sigurd is happy but worried he is not gonna be a good dad since he didnt have a good father figure to look up to. Doesnt want reader to know of his fears but they find out. Reader or one of his brothers try to make him feel better maybe? Fluffy and angsty if you wanna. Thank you sy :*

It’s expected that at his age, he would have children. Of his brothers he is the only one to meet that expectation. For the days for birthing were right on top of you and your stomach was round and taut. Dressing attractively is difficult, but as he’s said, you could wear an apron dress and still look delectable.

Comforting you is easy, comforting himself is hard.

Even his oud gives him limited comfort now. He sits with crabbe apples and takes large bites of them, deciding for himself what to do next under a large tree with wide arms like Yggdrasil itself. He thought, no, he hoped that the gods would be here to assure him. Should he… go see you? Early in the stages of labour-- you sent him away to prepare himself.

“Shouldn’t you be with your wife?”
