Rise of the Guardians is not mine, but there is an OC in here that is yet to be named. As I've never written a ROTG fic before, the characters might be a bit OC, so I'm sorry about that!
Jack hovered outside the window, seeing the silhouette curled on the bed, their back against the headboard. His fingers brushed the glass, frost curling across the panes as he pushed it inwards. The figure on the bed smiled up at him, the light from the moon highlighting her features.
"And where have you been?" Tooth asked, her violet eyes shining excitedly.
"Oh, around and causing mayhem. Nothing new." Jack set his staff against the wall and sat on the bed next to her.
"He looks just like you." She shifted, revealing a small blue bundle with a shock of white hair and eyes as equally purple as hers. He was so small! It was no wonder they managed to keep him secret from the others for so long. Heck, they didn't even know now.
Tooth set the infant in Jack's arms, watching as an incredulous smile brightened his eyes. This baby, by all standards, should have been physically impossible, but here he was, curled in Jack's arms and drifting off to sleep, looking every inch adorable as his father.
She sat up straighter and stretched her wings. "I've called the others."
"What did you tell them?"
"There was a surprise." As soon as the words had left her lips, there was a thud outside. Jack moved to the window and peered out, seeing Bunny hurriedly scramble for the sleigh. He was waving his arms frantically, hopping about North while spewing curses, no doubt, about that sleigh. Everybody loved the sleigh.
Sandy suddenly appeared in the window, grinning. A series of symbols flashed over his head, the majority Jack saw as question marks.
Then Sandy saw the tot Jack was holding and the question marks turned to exclamation marks.
North and Bunny appeared in the room minutes later, North barely squeezing through the door designed for Tooth. It was her Tooth Palace after all.
"Vat is the meaning of all this then?" North boomed happily, glad to see all his friends in one place. Sandy pointed frantically at Jack, bouncing about with a wild, excited grin.
Tooth shushed North kindly, pulling herself from the bed and floating to Jack's side. She beckoned her other two friends over, smiling to herself as they shared cautious glances.
"It's a wee blighter." Bunny marvelled. "Ugh, spitting image of his dad though."
"Offended." Jack said. Bunny ignored him, looking at Tooth questioningly.
"Yes, you can hold him." Tooth laughed. Jack eased his son into Bunny's arm, smirking as the humanoid rabbit's eyes widened and he smiled too. See, his good looks were irresistible.
"Vy we not knowing of Baby Frost?" North demanded, his eyes wider than usual and sparkling with joy.
"Tooth." Jack replied.
"Jack." Tooth said at the same time. She wrinkled her nose at him, distracted seconds later by 'Baby Frost' mewling and waving his tiny fists.
"I didn't do it!" Bunny insisted. Jack snickered, earning a glower from his frenemy. "Does the little sunspot have wings?"
"No. I've already checked." Tooth soothed her son, hearing excited chatter outside the door. Seconds later, a swarm of her loyal fairies buzzed into the room and flying about their heads. Many floated near Jack, not even being discreet in the slightest.
With help from Sandy, 'Baby Frost' slept peacefully all night, which suited busy Tooth. Caring for the infant wasn't organised at all, Jack in and out of the Tooth Palace all day, sometimes with 'Baby Frost' and sometimes without him. North had not stopped making toys for his 'nephew' and Bunny had even offered to babysit, surprisingly.
Jack was looking after 'Baby Frost' at the moment, pondering names. 'Baby Frost' appeared immune to the cold, like Jack, and didn't seem to mind the sling Jack put him in either.
"Any ideas?" Jack asked the moon. Once again, he was unsurprised by the lack of response. Instead, he glanced down at the little village he had found and he felt a sudden desire to make it snow. Heavily. And then maybe a snowball fight. Those were the best, even after all these years.
He called to the wind and was instantly lifted from the roof. 'Baby Frost' stirred in the sling against Jack's chest, his vibrant purple eyes flitting about and then fixing on Jack's face. "Want to cause some trouble?" A line of drool escaped down 'Baby Frost's chin. "Yeah, me too." He shot up, the wind whistling through his hair and drawing laughter from him. Throwing out the crooked end of his staff, he whirled up a few clouds and had it snowing.
"Jack!" He stopped mid-air, twisting around. Tooth was shivering not far from him.
"Hey!" He grinned.
"Why do you have to make it so cold?" He shot her a 'duh' look, tucking his staff's crook about her waist and dropping, taking them to warmer temperatures. Not that it was overly warm, but still.
"Race you to Jamie." He smirked. Her challenging gleam consumed her eyes and she checked that 'Baby Frost' was secure.
"Fine. But just this on- oh, that's freezing!" She smacked his arm, shivering even worse than before as the snowball crumbled through her feathers. "And I was going to be nice." She vanished just as the words left her mouth. Jack laughed heartily to the clouds, proud of himself for drawing out this competitive and slightly rebellious side. She wasn't at work just to come out and see him.
He shot above the clouds, facing the moon briefly before racing after her.
He failed to notice the demeaning shadow searing across his snow clouds behind him.
As I said, I've never written ROTG before, so this might not be amazing or all that good, but I'm trying! I want to update this as often as I can, alongside the other ones of mine, so I'm hoping that works. I quite like the ideas I had for it! :D
What do you all think? And what do we think for a name for 'Baby Frost'?
