Hello! Since I'm quite psycho today, I decided to upload Chapter 2! (hooray!) Like always, (and to answer an awesome reviewer's question), I always upload 1-2 chapters weekly. There might be one or two day delays, but you can count on finding an update weekly.
Well that being said, I present you… Chapter Two
*minion voice* TADA!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Russian Folktale, nor do I own ROTG or Frozen.
Chapter 2: Premarital Parenthood
Elsa was freaking out.
At first she decided to pass this off as a humorous dream. She had meant it to humor Anna… just a little joke to pass off the time.
But apparently, Elsa was part realist, not entirely the dreamer. She knew what was happening as clear as the light of day, and she knew what she was very well capable of that such a thing would be possible.
No. Actually she still couldn't believe it. She thought she would be something like Olaf… all mushy frozen water and a carrot nose. But no… this child was definitely human. She had created a living, breathing, taking, flesh-skinned human out of snow!
And the little girl before them was sobbing. She was sobbing to a tree saying Elsa, whom she called her Mama, refused to hug her. Elsa believed her wits had been scrambled by that blast of power. But Anna's equally dumbfounded stare confirmed that what they were both seeing was real.
Elsa had created the Child of Winter Solstice.
But she did not do it alone.
The Winter Spirit recovered quicker than the humans did. He smiled uncertainly at the little girl who called her Papa, extending his arms to welcome her in an embrace. Upon sight, the snow girl clumsily ran and fell smack into his arms, sobbing softly and clinging to his sweater like it was the safest thing in the world.
Strange, Jack thought. For something, or rather someone made of snow, she was oddly warm to the touch. He caressed the little girl's silky hair, silvery in color in comparison to his snow white locks. Soon he began to ease at the idea of passing this girl off as his daughter.
I did help make you after all, Jack grinned to himself. I guess that makes me Daddy now.
"Oh, don't mind your mother." Jack cooed to the little girl. He was surprised at himself for taking this too well. "She's just awestruck at how pretty you are is all."
The moment the little girl in his arms looked up to him, his breath had been taken away. She was beautiful beyond belief. She had eyes that resembled the queen's, but her nose and smile had definitely come from him.
It was as if the girl really was his and Elsa's child. The thought made him red all over as his eyes darted from the snow child to the blonde queen still sitting on the ground in utter bewilderment.
"Really?" the snow girl sniffed. "Mama thinks I'm pretty?"
"Yeah of course you are!" Jack grinned, touching the tip of her nose with his right index finger. "You have Papa's devious little smirk. That makes you the prettiest sight in all the world."
The little girl laughed. It made Jack smile fondly at her.
I'm already a father and I'm not even married. Jack thought, suddenly seeming horrified at the thought. The events that transpired that afternoon was definitely something he did not expect.
And it was all because he felt insulted that a girl apparently replaced him as the embodiment of winter.
Elsa and Anna on the other hand continued to eye the child who was hugging some invisible something by the tree. The princess was the first to break the silence, slowly leaning her head towards Elsa with her eyes still fixed on the snow child.
"Is that… who I think it is?" Anna asked. "Did you actually…"
Elsa finally recovered from her dumbfounded reverie and stood up, patting off the snow that powdered her dead teal skirt. "I believe… I did."
"And she called you Mama… which means…"
Anna and Elsa looked at each other, a mixture of excited awe and horrified disbelief exchanged between them .
"I've become a mother!"
"I've become an aunt!"
They said this at the same time. Anna began to squeal in excitement as she ran towards the girl who was still held by an invisible Jack Frost. Elsa stayed in her place, gazing at the spot where Anna left with her mouth open like a gaping fish. The Snow Queen definitely had it bad… this was not one of her most calm and refined moments.
She was freaking out.
She was twenty-two, single, and was now a mother.
But Elsa hid her panic pretty well. She coughed, swallowed her shock, and gazed warily at her bubbly sister who greeted the little snow child in the still invisible Jack Frost's arms. She was debating with herself about what to do with the little girl.
What would the people think? By the looks of the child's adorable baby face, no one would believe she was the legendary child of winter. She was much, much, much too human...
"Hey there little Snowflake!" Anna greeted the child. "I'm your auntie Anna."
Jack nudged the little girl softly by the shoulders, tilting her head towards the beaming princess. Snowflake turned to face Anna, blinking up to her curious blue eyes. Amd just like Jack, the child's face took Anna's breath away.
"Ooh aren't you just the little angel!" Anna squealed as she took Snowflake in for a tight hug. The little girl happily returned the hug, giggling into Anna's arms.
"Auntie Anna," Snowflake murmured against her shoulder. "Why does Mama not wanna hug me?"
Anna pulled herseld off and looked at the child apologetically. She looked at Elsa and tilted her head, urging her to come over.
Elsa just stared.
"What are you waiting for honey?" Jack chuckled as he sat beneath the shade of the tree. "Our little girl is waiting."
Of course Jack knew she couldn't see him. He was just amused at how the queen looked paler by the passing seconds... That was until...
"Mama?"
"Elsa!"
The Snow Queen fainted.
A/N: Yeah I know... -.- this chapter sucks. Let's just say this is a little teaser chapter.
