A/N: Hello. I am so surprised I'm typing right now because I just got my braces tightened plus I have rubber bands in so my mouth is like throbbing. I figured writing would make me feel better so here we go! Now this is a Leia + Nicholas and Delsenneth scene. Delsenneth is Derek, Elsa, and Kenneth's names all put together but please give credit to LoveisanopenfridgeXD for the awesome name! You guys are the best and thanks for the ton of reviews so far and happy reading!
Oh wait one more thing, my very good friend Jessica would like you to check out her videos in youtube if you are a book lover. She said if I did this for her then she would read my story so why not? channel/UCt3Yz6JZ9VaHxs4DjZ0xkLg
"Please watch Danielle for a few hours! Please?!" Leia begged Derek and Elsa.
"Why?" Derek asked again.
"Because I'm meeting with a friend and I can't bring her with me." Leia explained again.
"But aren't you meeting with-"
"A friend." Leia interrupted, hinting for Elsa to be quiet and not give her plans away.
"A friend." Elsa concluded.
"Great, so can you please watch her for a little bit? I promise just this once." She begged.
Elsa took Danielle from Leia's hands and hoisted her up on her hip. Kenneth was currently napping so Elsa finally had some free hands which were soon occupied by Danielle. She realized she was never getting a day off from holding some sort of baby. She was okay with it and she was now used to it but it was still weird.
"Of course we'll watch her Leia. We'll watch her whenever you need us too." Elsa said.
Leia hugged Elsa and then kissed Danielle on the cheek before thanking her brother and sister-in-law and left the room, all dressed up and everything. She made her way downstairs and all the way to the front of the gates. She clock read 6:57 and she looked outside of the nearest window to see Nicholas standing outside with a bouquet of pure red roses. Leia smiled and looked in a large mirror upon the wall and looked back at the clock. It read 6:58. Her heart began beating faster and faster as she saw the ticker on the clock move from number to number. She didn't want to go outside at exactly seven o'clock because she didn't want to seem eager and desperate but then she didn't want to be late because then it would look like she didn't care and that she was….well naturally a late person. She didn't need to make a bad impression on her first date, call it what you will.
"Leia?" Kristoff's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Kristoff?" Leia asked.
"I thought you had a date." He said.
Leia eyed him suspiciously.
"Anna told me." He said.
"Of course she did. Yeah I do have a date and he's waiting for me outside right now but I'm just a little nervous. I don't know what to do." She shrugged, completely embarrassed of her weaknesses.
"Why are you nervous?"
"I-I don't know. I just don't know if he'll like me or want to continue a relationship with me. After what happened with Johannes, I don't know who to trust."
"Not everyone is like Johannes. In fact, very few people are like him. You have to give Nicholas a chance or else you're never going to be able to trust anybody." Kristoff said.
"But what if he hurts me like Johannes did?" Leia sighed.
"He won't." Kristoff said.
"How do you know?"
"Because no one could ever hurt an amazing person like you. It'simpossible." He smiled.
"Then why did Johannes do it?" She whispered trying to hold back her tears.
"Leia, this world is full of unanswered secrets that we'll never know. But I do know that this world is full of beauty and kindness as well. You have to take risks or else what is there to live for?"
"You're right. Well….do you have any advice for me?" She smiled.
"Just be Leia as cliché as that sounds. Your family loves you for you so Nicholas should too or else why would you want to be with him anyway?"
Leia nodded and then her eyes travelled to the clock and she realized it was five after seven and her heart began pumping louder as she saw Nicholas outside again. Kristoff gave her a reassuring hug and she nodded at him.
"You can do it. Just be yourself." He smiled.
"Yeah." She breathed. "Yeah you're right."
Kristoff opened the gates and Nicholas turned to see them both in the opening. He smiled at Leia and then noticed Kristoff standing behind her with a "don't mess with her" look on his face. Nicholas gave him a silent nod and Leia hugged Kristoff one last time before she took Nicholas's arm and they began walking away.
"Who was that?" Nicholas asked.
"A friend." Leia answered blankly. "Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise!" He smirked.
Leia rolled her eyes at him and they walked in silence for a little while. When Nicholas would steal a glance at Leia, she wouldn't be looking his way and then when she looked back at him, his head would be turned the other way. Once they made direct eye contact for a split second, they both smiled and quickly averted their heads the other way.
"So Leia Bentonia, tell me, what are you like?" Nicholas asked as they continued walking down a long street filled with flowers of all kinds and little shops here and there.
"What do you mean?" She laughed.
"Let's play a game! I'll ask you questions about yourself and then you'll answer them and then you have to ask me a different question. Deal?" He said.
"What happened to the rude guy that I saw at the market two days ago?" She said and let go of his arm.
"Call it love at first sight?" He smirked.
"You are such a jerk!" She said.
"And you are quite stubborn." He said.
"Screw it. Let's just play this dumb game you have in mind." She rolled her eyes.
"See? Now you're catching on! Okay I'll ask you the first question. What is your favorite color?"
"Ooh how original!" She said sarcastically.
"Oh just answer the question!" He said.
"Fine, my favorite color is purple."
"Woah, me too!" He said happily.
"Really?"
"No. It's red."
"Close enough." She laughed.
"Okay, you ask me."
"Um…what is your favorite boys name?" She asked.
"That one's easy, Nicholas." He said proudly.
"Really?"
"Yes ma'am. I was named after my father. I admire him so much still to this day and he is probably the best person in this world."
"That's how I feel about my daughter." Leia smiled.
"Oh so that's your daughter? I thought you were like a babysitter or it was your niece or nephew. I didn't see a ring."
"You checked to see if I had a ring on?" She laughed.
"Of course I did. For a pretty girl like you, it's hard not to stare at you." He said and eyed her.
"Well yes that is my daughter, Danielle. She's the best person I have ever met and I'm not just saying that because she's my daughter. She's so loveable, funny, smart, beautiful, and sweet. You can't stop looking at her and you have this need to be around her all the time. She's amazing." Leia sighed with a smile.
"You really love her, don't you?"
"With all my heart." She answered.
"I'd really like to meet her someday if that's okay with you."
"Maybe someday…." Leia pondered.
"So tell me your backstory. Where are you from?" He said as they sat down on a bench alongside of the road.
"Well, I was born on December 14th in the Northern Isles. My mom's name was Berthina Catherine Bentonia. She was….the best mother in the world. Unfortunately she died and then it was just my brother, Derek, and I and my dad. And I'll just leave it at that. But then he died from a virus…and it was whatever." She mumbled.
"Did something happen between you and your dad?" Nicholas asked hesitantly.
"No, it's nothing. So what about you?" She quickly changed the subject.
"Hey you didn't finish! So where did Danielle come from?"
"My stomach." She said in quotes.
"No really? I mean where's Danielle's father?" He asked.
"Is that any of your business?" She snapped.
Nicholas put his hands up in defense and apologized. Leia looked away and buried her head in her hands and let out a long sigh.
"You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, Leia." Nicholas reminded her.
"I know, it's just….I want to so badly but it's so hard to say. I'll let you know when I'm ready to talk about it." She said.
"Please don't rush into telling me. I want you to feel as comfortable as you can with me before you say anything." He said and gently put his hand on hers.
"Thank you for understanding." She whispered.
Where did this man come from? Last time I saw him he was so rude, arrogant, and oblivious to kindness. Now he's here and he's as charming as ever and he's so understanding. Is he usually this way when he meets someone and then automatically just turns into this nice guy? Is it me? No, Leia of course it isn't. You can't change people, you know that. But I have this urge to tell him everything. I have this urge to keep learning more about him. I have this urge to want to hug him. To kiss him even.
"You're welcome. And your daughter is beautiful." He commented.
"Thank you so much. So what about you? Do you have any siblings? What do you do for a living?"
"Well I have and older brother and younger sister. My brother's name is Patrick Thiesen and he's twenty-six."
"How old are you?" Leia asked.
"I'm twenty-four." He answered. "What about you?"
"I'm twenty-two." Leia responded. "Now tell me about your sister."
"Well my sister's name is Georgina Bentonia. She's fifteen years old."
"Wow that's quite an age gap!" Leia laughed.
"Yeah, that's the problem." He mumbled.
"How could that be a problem?"
"My sister is handicapped." Derek said.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. I'm sure she is wonderful though." Leia smiled.
"She is wonderful. My mother had her in her late forties and so she didn't come out like the rest of us. She's paralyzed from her legs down and she's in a wheelchair. She can't really talk but she's so smart Leia. She knows things that no one else knows and she's so beautiful! It's like your daughter, you can't stop looking at her because she's so beautiful. She's so loving too and you always want to be around her." Nicholas said with adoration.
"Wow." Leia said.
"What?"
"You said that so beautifully. I've never heard someone talk about someone else like that in my life. She's really lucky to have a brother like you, Nicholas. I mean that."
Nicholas leaned in and pulled Leia into a hug. Leia let all pride go and sighed into the hug. They pulled apart and he smiled at her which made her blush a bit and then she smiled back at him.
"What about your parents?" She continued.
"My father's name is Nicholas, obviously, and my mother's name is Rosalyn. She's just as wonderful as my father. My brother is married to a young woman named Priscilla and she's twenty-six as well. They also have two children."
"Wow, two children?" Leia said excitedly.
"Yeah, two believe it or not! The first kid is six years old and his name is Bernard and then their daughter is three and her name is Sena."
"My my you have a big family." Leia smiled.
"It's wonderful, really. I'd love for you to meet them one day."
"I'd be honored to." She whispered.
"I think this was a good first date, don't you think?" Nicholas asked.
"I think so too! We should probably do this again sometime." She hinted.
"I think that's a great idea. Shall I walk you back to the castle now?"
"What time is it?" She asked when she noticed the sky was dark.
"I'm not sure. They need to invent something that tells the time without having to look at a clock." He said and stood up and held his hand out for her. She happily took it and they walked arm in arm back to the castle gates.
"Well here we are, miss." Nicholas said.
"Thank you for walking me back. When will I see you again?" She asked.
"Tomorrow morning?"
"I have a baby to take care of. How about four tomorrow? I'll meet you by the fountain?" She proposed.
"Sounds perfect. Until tomorrow." He said and kissed her hand.
The next morning…..
"Oh god how long have you guys been awake?" Elsa asked as she sat up in her bed and looked at her husband and son in the rocking chair.
"Don't worry about it, Elsa. You took care of both Kenneth and Danielle mostly on your own yesterday because of the meetings I had to attend. You needed the sleep anyways. But I think your son has something to show you."
Elsa hopped out of bed and walked over to her boys and Derek set Kenneth down on the floor. He was standing on his feet while Derek was holding his hands. Derek stood up from the chair and began walking with him. Kenneth giggled and watched Elsa as he walked. Elsa laid a hand on her heart as she watched her little boy walk around with Derek around the room. Elsa winked at her son and he smiled back at her.
"We're still working on it, aren't we buddy?" Derek asked him as he picked him up.
Kenneth giggled and grabbed Derek's specs off of his nose and threw them on the floor. Elsa giggled and bent down to pick them up. She placed them on the nightstand table and walked over to Derek and he handed Kenneth over to her.
"Good morning sweetheart!" Elsa said and kissed Kenneth's cheek. "Did you walk for mommy today?"
Kenneth smiled and her and leaned his head into her neck which was his version of hugging. Pretty much any baby's version of hugging. Elsa giggled and rested her hand on her son's cheek and held him close. He moved his head away from her chest and looked at her straight in the eye.
"What's going on buddy?" Elsa asked.
"I don't think he looks at you for any particular reason, sweetie. I think he just loves you so much that he takes every opportunity to look at you." Derek said behind her.
"You're nuts. Babies don't think those thoughts at one years old."
"Except for this baby." Derek mumbled. He walked behind Elsa and slid his arms around her waist and brought her closer against his chest. She turned her head to meet her lips with his. He then took Kenneth out of her arms and laid him in the middle of the bed and walked back over to Elsa and picked her up in his arms and she wrapped her legs around his waist and he spun them in the air as their lips connection. Kenneth smiled at his parents and clapped his hands.
"What are you doing?" Elsa giggled in the kiss.
"I love you so much." He said sincerely and kissed her again.
He set her down and he hugged her tightly in his arms. She smiled and closed her eyes, breathing in his beautiful scent. She rubbed her hand up and down his back and kissed his shoulder.
"I love you too." She whispered back.
They let go of each other and Elsa walked back over to Kenneth and picked him up in her arms and hoisted him on her wide hip. She held one his hands and spun carefully around the room as if they were dancing together. He squealed in delight, his dark brown hair moving from each turn and his large blue eyes staring in adoration at his mother. Once she stopped dancing, she set Kenneth down on the floor and crossed her arms.
"What are you doing?" Derek asked her.
"He needs to learn how to walk." She said as she stared at him.
"We already tried today." He said.
"Only for a little while. I think if we use his favorite toy then he'll do it more."
"What do you mean?"
"If we use his favorite toy to lure him towards us on his feet, he'll learn right?"
"I mean we could try." He said with a smile.
Elsa hugged and kissed her husband and walked over to the basket next to his bassinette and rummaged through all of the toys until she found his favorite one- a stuffed reindeer.
"Here we are!" Elsa announced. Kenneth saw the reindeer and lifted his arms up and Elsa hid it behind her back and Kenneth began crying. Elsa rolled her eyes and handed the reindeer to Derek and picked Kenneth off the ground and cradled him in her arms.
"Can you walk for mommy and daddy today?" Elsa asked.
Kenneth's tears began to disappear and he sniffled a few times before cracking a smile at Elsa. He was only one years old and it was like he knew exactly what Elsa was saying. Elsa smiled back at him and kissed his cheek. "That's my good boy." She praised and set him back on the ground.
"Okay you help guide him to walk first and I'll use the toy and then we'll switch off so he's comfortable with both of us." Elsa concluded.
"Woah, you're like super mom." Derek commented.
"Thank you." Elsa said, not paying any attention to him.
Derek just rolled his eyes and laughed. He walked behind Kenneth and helped him to his feet and Elsa had the reindeer in hand and walked about ten feet away from them. She set some pillows on the floor to form a runway and there was some softness if he fell. She sat on her knees at the end of the pathway and held the toy behind her back.
Now Kenneth had been trying to walk for weeks at this point and he was finally getting it a little but he still fell each time he tried and he would get distraught and start crying. However, Derek and Elsa would help him back to his feet. Derek let go of his hands and Kenneth stood with no trouble. He knew how to stand at this point, it was just the walking that got him.
"Ready baby?" Elsa asked Kenneth even though she knew he had no idea what he was saying.
He smiled up at Derek and Derek winked at him and he looked back at Elsa. Elsa held the reindeer in her hand and wiggled it to get Kenneth's attention.
"Come get the reindeer!" Elsa cheered. Kenneth looked up at Derek and he nodded for him to go.
"It's okay, come here!" Elsa cheered again.
Kenneth began moving his legs and he made one step before he fell down on one of the pillows. Elsa lowered her hand into her lap and Derek helped Kenneth back onto his feet. He looked at the reindeer again and started walking again.
"You can do it son." Derek whispered to himself.
"Come on sweetie!" Elsa called and wiggled the reindeer even more.
Kenneth had his tongue sticking out and his arms were in front of him like he was reaching out and touching something. He took two steps this time before falling again. However, he got up by himself this time which shocked Derek and Elsa and he took three steps this time and caught his balance before continuing on to his mother. By the sixth step, he tripped over a pillow and fell on top of it. He began crying for Elsa and she crawled over to him and scooped him up in her arms and cradled him back and forth.
"Shh….it's alright. You were doing so well, mommy's so proud of you." Elsa praised. "Want to try again?"
Kenneth squirmed out of Elsa's arms and stood up again. Strong boy. He turned around to face Derek and Elsa quickly handed him the reindeer and she stood behind her son and watched him protectively just like any other mother would. Derek wiggled the reindeer and Kenneth squealed before walking towards Derek like he never had before. Derek and Elsa looked at each other with shocked open mouths and cheered him on even more. With one last step, he made it to Derek and grabbed the reindeer from his hands and plopped down on the floor.
"You did it baby!" Elsa cheered and grabbed Kenneth and laid on her back with him on top of her. She snugged him close to her and kissed his face over and over again causing him to squeal and laugh. Derek ran over and pulled his little family in close to him.
"I can't believe he did it!" Elsa laughed.
"He's brilliant!" Derek commented.
He sure is.
