Chapter 21: Auntie Elsa
The polling for Kristoff and Anna's baby gender is open and could be found in my profile :)
"It's so warm here!"
Elsa smiled at her excited sister as they took a calm walk in the royal gardens. While her husband and his brothers held another meeting, she opted to spend some time with her sister and show her the kingdom her husband born and grew up in, just like she had promised the other day.
"I mean, of course I love winter too, especially when we build snowmen together, but still-"
As the younger sister kept rambling about almost everything that came into her mind, Elsa could only smile and try to keep up with it. Yes, they did have their differences. While Elsa was regal, calm, and collected, her sister Anna was outgoing, cheerful, and full of energy. But because of that they completed each other as sisters. Anna brought the older sister's childish side while Elsa could get the younger to sit down throughout dinner.
"Elsa? Hey, earth to Elsa. Is anybody there?"
The platinum blonde haired young woman was pulled from her deep thought by her sister looking at her. Blinking, she realized that she must have drift too far into her own mind. "Huh? Oh I'm so sorry Anna, I got distracted… again."
But the strawberry blonde haired Princess only shrugged it off. She has gotten used of her sister thinking by herself even when they were spending time together. She understood, really. "Anyway, as I was saying, maybe we should spend more time in warmer kingdoms sometimes. Corona seemed to be a great choice."
"Yes… Corona is good." Elsa has vague memory of the 'Kingdom of Sun', they were great trade partner. Unlike Arendelle that has the majority of chilly weather; Corona was a generally sunny kingdom, like Southern Isles. She remembered her Mother used to tell her stories about her spending many time with her best friend, Queen Primrose, when they were young.
"Hey Elsa, what should we paint our babies' nursery back in Arendelle?"
"That's quite an early question, Anna…" The older replied, "I mean you haven't even reached the end of your first trimester, and we have no idea of the gender of the babies…"
"Maybe pink and blue?" The younger suggested, "Pink is suitable for girls, and blue is rather… neutral. I mean, you're a girl and your things were blue when we were young, but blue could be the color of boys too."
"Well yes, but…"
"Oh I can't wait! We could ask Gerda to watch over the children if we ever get busy, I'm sure she will be more than happy too, seeing that she had been our nanny when we were little…"
"Anna, slow down." Elsa didn't want to tell her growing doubts if she would even give birth back in Arendelle to her sister in fear it might stressed her out. She knew war could end for months, even years, and she didn't want to have Anna's imagination crushed down if she knew even she would probably give birth in Southern Isles.
"Elsa, do you think if our children has the same gender they could share a room together just like when we were young? I'm sure they will be ecstatic if they could! But if they had opposite gender, we could forget about that, it would be awkward for them, especially when they already grow older."
"Anna… you're rambling again."
"I-I did?" The strawberry blonde haired Princess looked at her sister confusedly, she didn't even realize she was rambling! "Oh sorry… But sometimes I just can't help it, Elsa. I'm so happy and excited!"
Elsa chuckled and shook her head in amusement. "What do you think about us walking in the village and taste some of Southern Isles' chocolate?"
Anna's eyes lit up even more, if it was even possible, at the mention of her favorite thing. "That would be great! Come on then!"
Anything to distract my mind off things…
~O~
"I think Auntie Elsa is taking a walk in the village with her sister."
Yvonne loved meeting new people, especially those who were kind and also related to her, in some way. When she was informed that Uncle Hans was coming back home with his wife, the girl was beyond excited. She had been missing her Uncle so much since he married the Queen of Arendelle. So when she knew they will be visiting, she was happy that she would have another person she could play with.
And when she found out that she would be having another cousin soon, she couldn't contain her excitement anymore. Besides, Auntie Elsa was nice, nice enough that she would tuck her to sleep and sing for her.
But there was another thing the young Princess waiting for, Auntie Elsa showing her magic.
Yes, her Auntie was known to be the Snow Queen, and she could make summer turn into winter in a blink of eye, which would lead to making snowmen and snowball fight with her cousins!
Her Mama told her not to disturb her Auntie, but asking to play is not disturbing right? People love to play.
So the young Princess skipped out from the castle, with Nana chasing behind her. Nana is the maid hired to babysit the young Princess since she was very little. Though her name was not 'Nana', but Yvonne has been calling her that ever since she warmed up to the nanny.
After running around the village, Yvonne finally found her Auntie Elsa with her sister, Princess Anna. Yvonne met Princess Anna at dinner, and she looked to be so much fun too, but she hadn't got the chance to talk more with her. The two young women were talking while they stroll through the village.
"Auntie Elsa, Auntie Elsa!"
The platinum blonde haired Queen turned when she heard her name being called and smiled toward the young girl. Princess Anna also turned and waved at her.
"Hello Yvonne…"
The brown haired girl ran up to them and wrapped her arms around Elsa's legs. "Auntie Elsa, let's go play!"
"Wait, can I play too?" Anna asked, pointing at herself.
Yvonne giggled and nodded. "Of course! More people more tea parties!"
