A Small Conversation

One warm April afternoon, a bored and lonely Elsa was wandering around the quiet corridors of the palace. The servants were busy with their daily chores and there was no fun relative staying in the palace. Even the knights that lined the hallway were too busy guarding to spare an hour of playtime with her.

I wish someone could play with me. Elsa thought with a glum pout. She tugged the end tuff of her long braid and looked up at the space in front of her. She was almost at the end of the hall and spiral staircase.

"Yes I propose we get to work on fixing the schoolhouse bell and bakery roof right away. Heimlich told me yesterday during audience that if he doesn't get his ceiling fixed then his pies will be ruined. We need to help him. He can't do it by himself, not with his bad arm."

The firm yet familiar voice of her father surprised Elsa as she approached the next door. Unlike the rest of the doors, this one was slightly ajared. Curious, Elsa crept up to the door and peeked through the crack.

Inside the large room King Adgar sat at the head of a long wooden table with scrolls, papers, and maps scattered before him on the tabletop. Seated at the other chairs were his trusted advisor Duke Erik and a few men with elegant jackets and medals pinned on their chests that Elsa did not recongize but knew they had to be important. Standing on either side of the door, the two guards were as still as statues.

As the men continued with their discussion, Elsa pressed her hands to the door and gave it a firm push. The guard on the left turned around sharply and looked down at the small princess. His frown immediately turned into friendly smile underneath his mustache.

Elsa looked up and smiled timidly in response. She was about to step back and move along when the guard stepped aside and further opened the door. Elsa smiled and stepped through the door.

"Your Majesty, you have a visitor." the mustached guard announced.

Adgar and a few of the men turned at the announcement. Just like the guard, Adgar's frown turned into a smile at the sight of his daughter. "Hello my little eskling!"

With a large grin, Elsa moved from the door and ran up to her father. Adgar chuckled and swept her up into his arms. "Where's your mother?"

"Sleeping again." Elsa answered and looked up at her father with a small pout. "Can you please play with me Papa?"

Adgar pecked a kiss on Elsa's cheek and gently set her down onto the ground. "I wish I could but I have a very important meeting I must finish. When I'm done we'll play anything you like for as long as you like."

Elsa's hopeful smile turned upside down and she sighed. "Okay Papa. I'll wait."

The king smiled, yet inside he felt a little guilty for not having the time to play with his daughter. These past few months were busy with holding audiences with the people of Arendelle, going on diplomatic visits, and tending to his wife, who was pregnant with their second child. Adgar thought for a moment before he smiled and leaned close to his daughter.

"Why don't you go see if Chef has baked anything special and sweet in the kitchens?" he suggested.

At the mention of sweets, Elsa's looked up and smiled wide. "Do you think she's gonna have chocolate truffles?"

"Well we'll never know if we don't find out." Adgar admitted. He leaned over and placed a second kiss on Elsa's soft head. "Now go on. I'll see you and your mother in a little bit."

Elsa felt a little bit better as she kissed her father on the cheek and turned to skip out of the council room. Any frown could be turned upside down with a sweet treat. And perhaps her mother would like one too if Elsa asked her.

After walking out the council chamber, Elsa stepped into the hallway and bumped into Gerda. When the princess asked if her mother was awake, Gerda gave her a kind smile and shook her head.

"She's very tired little one. But I'm sure she'll wake up soon and play with you then."

As soon as Gerda walked away, Elsa continued to the kitchen, wondering why her mother slept so much nowadays.

On most mornings Idun would wake up, join Adgar and Elsa for breakfast, and then lie down with a hand to her head. There were times when Idun was also short-tempered and Elsa did not like that. Her father always took care of her though, and whenever Elsa saw how Agdar would kiss her mother and hug her from behind, the little princess did the same thing. Whenever her mother frowned and looked upset, Elsa always found a way to comfort her with either a story, a new trick she learned with her powers, or a simple warm hug. Anything to make the frown on her mother's face disappear.

When Elsa entered the kitchens, she immediately perked at the warm lingering aroma of freshly baked cookies. The old and kind chef immediately caught sight of her and handed the girl three little cookies that were still warm and soft when placed on Elsa's palm. Once she happily thanked the chef, Elsa tiptoed up to her parents' chambers where she was told that her mother was resting.

Nibbling on one of the cookies, Elsa slipped the other two into her dress pocket and stopped in front of her parents' door. To her luck, the door was not closed, and with a determined push, Elsa was able to open the door and peek into the room.

"Mama?"

On the bed, Idun was lying on her back and sleeping soundly with a blanket draped over her. The curtains were pulled over the windows and filled the chamber with a comforting darkness. Beside the windows, stood a wooden rocking chair draped with a blanket, and near the chair, stood a wooden crib with pink and purple crocus flowers carved along the sides.

Licking the crumbs off her lips, Elsa stepped into the chamber, her steps light and quiet as the girl crept over to the sleeping form of her mother. With a push and a small hop, Elsa climbed up onto the bed and kissed her mother's cheek.

"Mama!" she whispered.

Idun's eyes fluttered open and she gave her daughter a sleep-laden smile. "Hi Elska, did your father finish his meeting?"

"Not yet." Elsa answered. She looked down at her mother's seven month old belly and stuffed her hand into her dress pocket. A few seconds later, she held out the cookies, which became slightly crumbled from the trip to her room.

"I think Anna's hungry." Elsa spoke up.

Idun laughed at the lovely name her daughter gave the baby and sat up, wincing at the difficulty of it. "Come here my little Snowflake."

Idun sat back against the headboard with one hand clasped on her belly. Elsa smiled and sat down beside her mother. She handed Idun the cookie and her mother took it. Watching her mother eat, Elsa wondered if her baby sister was going to like the sweet cookie too. One time, when Elsa asked Idun how Anna ate in her belly, her mother told her that everything she ate, Anna ate it afterwards. It reminded Elsa of how a mother penguin fed her baby chick.

As Elsa moved her small hand along the stretched skin, she felt Anna's little foot kick at her palm. The smile upon the girl's face broadened with joy as she looked up at her mother. "I think Anna's awake now too!"

Elsa always loved it when her baby sister kicked at her little hand. The first time she felt it, Elsa could not keep her hand off Idun's belly for hours. At first the King and Queen were reluctant about their daughter touching the baby because of her powers. Yet, their fears immediately faded when Elsa's little hand touched Idun's belly and nothing happened except that the little gesture brought Elsa great happiness.

"Mama when will Anna come out?" Elsa wondered as she touched her mother's bump.

"Very soon."

Elsa sighed and her little shoulders slumped. "I really wanna meet her."

Idun smiled and stroked back her daughter's soft hair. As she ran her fingers through, Elsa let out another small sigh and touched her mother's belly. When she felt another kick though, her frown disappeared.

"Look Mama! She kicked again!"

"I feel it Elsa. She knows you're here."

"Can I talk to her? Will she hear me?"

Idun's smile widened and with her free arm, she brought her oldest daughter closer to her until Elsa was snuggled up against her. Happy with glee, Elsa clapped her hands and leaned over until her smiling lips were pressed to Idun's belly.

"Hi Anna! It's your big sister Elsa!" Elsa announced. She looked up at her mother, who gave her a smiling nod and continued to stroke her hair.

Elsa giggled and touched Idun's belly. As she laid her palm down, she felt Anna kick again. "Guess what Anna! Papa and I made your room and put all the toys in. And guess what else! When you're big, you can sleep with me!"

"I hope you come out really soon Anna. I wanna meet you really really bad and I wanna hold you and sing to you and build a snowman with you!"

"Are you gonna have brown hair? Mama has brown hair and I have blonde hair. Maybe you'll get my hair too. But now Mama says you're bald like an egg!" Elsa giggled.

"Are you gonna like chocolate? Mommy and I love chocolate. But you can't eat too much cause Gerda says you'll get a tummy ache!"

"When you come out, I'm gonna take you outside and we're gonna built a snowman and we're gonna name him Olaf! And then we're gonna have a snowball fight with Mama and Papa! You'll love it Anna!"

Later in the day, when the council meeting her father conducted came to an end, Elsa skipped over to Agdar as he stepped out of the room.

"Papa! Papa!" Elsa squealed. The moment she reached her father, she threw her arms around his legs. Her smile reached from ear to ear as Agdar lifted her up into his strong arms.

"Guess what Papa! I talked to Anna! And Anna listened to me! She kicked my hand a lot!" Elsa announced, holding up her small palm.

Adgar's eyes widened with happiness. "Really? Well that is amazing news! I bet Anna listened to everything you told her."

"Uh-huh, and guess what else. I made Mama cry."

Agdar looked at his daughter in surprise. Coming down the hallway, Idun was smiling and holding her belly. At his wife's approaching footsteps, Adgar turned to her and smiled. "You did?"

Elsa nodded. "Uh huh, but I'm not in trouble. She said they're happy tears. Do you cry happy tears?" She then turned around and smiled at her mother.

"I did when I felt you kick for the first time." Agdar smiled and wrapped his free arm around his wife. He reached out and pecked a kiss on Idun's lips.

Elsa crinkled her nose at the sight. "Yuck!"

"It's such a lovely day. Why don't we take supper outside in the gardens?" Idun suggested.

"I think that's a wonderful idea. What do you think Snowflake?" Agdar looked down at Elsa, who smiled and gave him a single nod.

"Yes please!"

Adgar laughed. "Then let's go!"

As the royal family began to make their way down the hallway, Elsa suddenly stopped with a loud gasp. "Wait!"

The king and queen both turned to their daughter and Elsa looked down at Idun's belly with wide eyes. "You forgot to ask Anna."

Agdar and Idun exchanged a bright glance before Agdar lowered Elsa down on the floor. The little princess hurried over to her mother's belly and clasped her hands on it.

"We're gonna go outside Anna. Do you wanna go too?" she asked curiously. Placing an ear to her mother's belly, Elsa waited for an answer. A few seconds later, a small foot kicked at her ear and Elsa smiled.

She stepped back and looked up at her mother and father. "She says yes! Come on!"
