Ch. 25
In the kingdom of Arendelle everyone was preparing for the wedding of Anna Frost and Kristoff.
The pastor was already there, the cake was standing in the big ballroom, together with the band...everything was set.
"Oh no, I look hideous!"
Well almost everything...Anna was standing in the dressing room. On her body she wore a wedding dress. Her hair was up in a bun. She wore a little bit of make up on her face. She was staring at herself in the mirror. Next to her was Elsa holding Hendrik in her arms.
"Elsa, this looks weird on me!" Yelled Anna. "White isn't my color!"
"What, no, you look amazing..." Elsa rocked Hendrik up and down in her arms. She looked at Anna with a smile. "Come on, you are just nervous."
Anna put her hand on her cheeks. "No...I can't do this! What was I even thinking? Kristoff is cute and everything I'm not, but still...I...I..." She sat down onto a chair and covered her face with her hands. "I can't!"
Elsa sighed. She put Hendrik down and kneeled down in front of Anna. She took her hands in hers and looked at her.
"Anna, honey...marriage isn't as scary at it looks."
"B-but I'm still a virgin...and I've never seen him naked...and how am I going to spend my whole life with him? What if he suddenly doesn't like me anymore when I get older? Or what if I'm acting too weird or what if..."
"Stop it." Elsa rolled with her eyes. "Anna, you're already at your weirdest...I don't think that Kristoff..."
"But this is serious!" Yelled Anna. "If this goes wrong, I disappoint everyone! This is the worst wedding..."
Elsa frowned. "The worst? Anna, I got married to a demon and then..." Elsa gave her hands a little squeeze. "All I'm saying is that I believe in you. And you can always talk to me. Especially about marriage. I'm an expert."
"An expert?"
"Yes. I've been married to the king for a while now. I can answer all of your questions!" Elsa threw her arms up proudly.
Anna giggled. "Oh really?"
"Really."
Anna nodded and stood up. Elsa stood up as well.
"Then I'll shall talk to you whenever I need you."
Anna turned around and walked to the door, but stopped and turned around when Elsa called her back.
"Anna, wait!" She ran up to her and planted a veil onto her head. "Don't forget this."
"Yes...I won't..." Anna pulled Elsa into a hug. "Takk skal du ha..."
"Værsågod." Whispered Elsa. She could feel the tears appearing in her eyes and quickly pushed Anna away. "Now, come on, let's get you to that aisle."
The church bell rang. Everyone was in the church. Elsa was standing behind Kristoff next to the pastor. It was the same pastor who married her and Jack. Everyone was seated and looking in anticipation. Kristoff was wearing a white attire
Elsa looked at the man. "Pastor, are you excited as I am?"
"I would be if this wasn't my job." Said the man in a monotone voice.
"Oh, come on! The princess is getting married!" Elsa clapped into her hands. "You know what is going to happen after that? They are going to get cute little babies! And we have some free friends for Hendrik and Nanna! And..."
Suddenly the bell's rang, the choir started to sing and the door opened up.
Everyone stood up. Anna was standing in the doorway with Jack. She was holding him by his arm.
When Kristoff saw her he nervously gulped. She looked beautiful. Even more beautiful then he could imagine.
Elsa chuckled when she saw Kristoff blushing. He was so cute when he was embarrassed...
Anna walked towards him down the aisle. She nervously grasped Jack's arm tighter.
"Are you nervous?" Whispered Jack.
Anna looked at him with a frown. "No...I just...never mind. Let's get this over with."
Jack sweat dropped. "You could be more romantic, you know."
She ignored him and they walked further down the aisle. They finally stopped in front of Kristoff. Jack whispered something in her ear before releasing her and standing next to Elsa. The choir stopped singing.
"She looks amazing." Whispered Elsa to Jack.
"She does..." Jack looked at Anna. She wasn't that girl that he needed to protect anymore. She had now fully grown into a woman. A woman who was marrying the right man, making her own good decisions...one day she would leave the house and...
"Dearly beloved." Said the priest. "Today we are gathered for the wedding of princess Anna Ylva Inge Frost and Kristoff Bjorgman...let us begin the vows."
It was completely silent until Anna spoke up.
"Excuse me, but I would like to say something before we go on with the vows and everything."
"Eh?!" Yelled everyone. Kristoff looked at Anna with a surprised face.
Anna turned to the crowd. "Today is a very special day...I mean, I'm finally getting married!" She tucked a hair behind her ear with a blush. "But...I always did wish for our parents to be here. I always dreamed of a wedding with my father to give me away, to have my mother beside me..."
Everyone was silent. Elsa put her hand onto Jack's shoulder out of comfort.
"Yet...I don't know what would have been if they were here...all I know is that that dream has changed. My whole family is different and bigger than before..."
Anna took a deep sigh. She held her hand to her chest. Everyone was staring at her.
"I'm happy to see my brother find happiness. I'm happy to have Elsa, a woman with beautiful ice powers, as my sister-in-law and as my closest friend...I'm happy to have a sweet nephew and niece, I'm happy to have Kristoff here with me, to have him stay with me forever, and I'm happy to see all my friends here...but more so...I'm...I'm...thankful..."
Tears were now streaming down her face. She put her hands in front of her eyes to cover her sadness.
"Everyone here...they...they all love me...and I...I'm thankful everyday...thank...you...everyone..."
Jack suddenly ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her. He held her tightly and put his hand onto her head. Anna started to sob more loudly.
"I love you all..." Whispered Anna.
"Me too!" Little Hendrik suddenly ran forward and clamped himself around Anna's legs. "I love you too, aunty Anna!"
"Me too!" Aster, Toothiana and Sandy jumped up and wrapped their arms around them as well. Gerda and Kai also jumped up and wrapped their arms around them. Jennifer stayed seated since she carried Nanna in her arms. But tears were falling down from her face.
"Me too!" Kristoff wrapped his arms around them too.
Elsa stared at them from the side. She tried to fight the tears in her eyes. Jack glanced at her with a grin.
"Get over here, ice queen!" Said Jack so that everyone could hear it.
Elsa looked away. "I...uh...am not a big fan of hugs, you know that."
"It wasn't a request."
Jack reached out with his hand and pulled Elsa by her arm towards them. Elsa fell against Aster back. She wrapped her arms around his back, but tripped over her feet. She lost her balance and pulled Aster and the whole bunch with her to the ground.
They all fell down onto the ground with a loud thud. It was silent for a few minutes until they all laughed.
"Oh my goodness!" Anna wiped her tears away and giggled. "Your faces!"
Suddenly everyone in the church started laugh along with them. The group gathered themselves again with smiles on their faces. Toothiana, Aster and Sandy walked back to their seats and so did Hendrik, Gerda and Kai.
Jack and Elsa both stood in the back again and Anna stood in front of Kristoff again. The crowd laughed for a few more minutes before calling down.
"Okay..." The priest coughed. "Shall we continue?"
Anna and Kristoff both nodded.
" Anna..." The priest smiled at her. "Wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
"I do...I always do."
Behind her Jack and Elsa both squealed.
"And Christopher."
"Name's Kristoff."
The man frowned at him. "Good, Kristoff...wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
"I do."
"Now, the..."
The door opened up and Sven, the reindeer, barged into the church. Between his jaws he held a pillow with two rings on it. Olaf was walking next to him. This was as planned, but it wasn't planned that they were both covered and oil and feathers.
"Anna!" Yelled Olaf. "We have the rings!"
Anna looked at them in awe. "What the hell happened to you?"
"Well we..." Olaf quickly closed his mouth when Sven shot him a glare. The reindeer looked back at Anna and held the rings in front of her. Anna carefully took the rings from him. The reindeer and Olaf smiled brightly at them.
"Whoa..." Elsa giggled. She didn't knew why those two were covered in all that stuff...but at least the rings were clean.
Anna shoved the rings onto her own finger and onto Kristoff's.
"Now you can kiss the..."
Anna grabbed Kristoff and kissed him forcefully. Everyone jumped up and cheered for them.
The priest sighed and shook his head with a smile.
"The last wedding was much easier...but...I guess this one is more fun."
After the ceremony everyone went to the ballroom. Kristoff and Anna cut the cake and Anna shoved a piece in his mouth.
The guest all started to dance while the band played a song. Jack was standing next to Anna. He watched Elsa dance with Eugene Rhyder, the king and husband of Rapunzel, the queen of Corona. Rapunzel was standing next to him and looked a bit jealous.
"It's great that everyone could make it." Said Anna. "And that everyone is enjoying themselves."
Rapunzel rolled with her eyes. She went through her brown short hair. She was wearing a pink dress for today. Her chameleon pascal was sitting on her shoulder. Next to her stood a big white horse together with Sven.
"Yeah right..." Rapunzel sighed. "Stupid Eugene...I thought he had a thing for brunettes..."
Jack looked at her. "He does?"
Rapunzel pouted at him. "Of course he does! He said it to me myself!" She clamped her hands together and spoke in a low voice. "Oh, rapunzel, I have a thing for brunettes, I don't like blondes at all!"
Jack snickered. "Did he really say that?"
"Yeah! But I guess that he likes blondes after all...that stupid son of a..."
"Jealous are we?"
Eugene was suddenly in front of her. He grabbed her hands and dragged her onto the dance floor. Rapunzel laughed and they started to dance.
Elsa stood in front of Jack with a blush. "So...do you wanna dance...with...a...girl?"
Jack stared at her in silence before he put his hand in front of his mouth to hide a laugh. Elsa could hit herself. Why did she try to flirt with him? It was so idiotic. Wait, why was she even asking him to dance? He should ask her...
Jack suddenly took her hands. "You are really bad at flirting, Elsa."
"I'm not!"
He turned around and pulled her onto the dance floor. There he put one hand onto her waist and with the other he took her hand.
"Just leave it to the master of flirtation."
They started to move along with the music. Elsa giggled a little. "Master of flirtation? Really?"
"Okay, master of everything awesome."
Elsa rolled with her eyes. Sometimes he was a bit cocky. But he did it to impress her and it was sort of cute at times.
"Do you remember our first time when we danced?" Whispered Jack.
Elsa nodded and smiled. "Yeah...I said that I didn't dance but you didn't take no for an answer."
"What? I just kinda...I already liked you back then..."
"You also told me that you would protect me like a dragon." Said Elsa.
Jack chuckled. "Didn't you tell me that even dragons die? Did I prove you wrong..."
"Oh no, you didn't prove me anything!" Said Elsa. He spun her around and then took her into his arms again. "We still have a lot of years ahead of us, Frost, and I dragons live for a very long time!"
"So you are saying that I'm going to grow old?"
"Yes! And so am I...wow, that is depressing...we have to stay together for at least 60 more years..."
Jack laughed. Elsa stuck her tongue out. The music suddenly changed tone and became slower. Jack pulled her a little closer and slowed down his steps.
"We have come a long way, didn't we?" Said Jack.
Elsa nodded. "Yeah, we did...a very long way..."
They both noticed Kristoff and Anna dance a few feet away. The two were holding each other and dancing a bit clumsily. Kai suddenly came up to them and said something. The two parted with a blush and nodded. The music stopped and everyone stopped dancing.
"People!" Yelled Anna. "The party is closed for tonight! Thank you all for coming! I had a wonderful time!"
Everyone clapped in their hands and cheered. Anna and Kristoff both nervously followed Kay out of the room.
"Well, we all know what they're going to do..." Whispered Elsa.
"Mommy!" Suddenly Hendrik wrapped his arms around her legs. Elsa released Jack and pulled her little angel up into her arms.
"But we should get this little one to bed." Said Elsa.
Hendrik pouted. "But it isn't my bed-time yet!"
"Yes, it is. Come on." Said Jack. "Nanna is already in her crib. You should go too."
"But I wanna party!"
Elsa and Jack both chuckled at his little temperament. The citizens around them all left the castle and the maids started to clean up.
The next day Elsa was down stairs with Anna. The two of them were both eating their breakfast in silence. Jack was getting Hendrik out of bed, Kristoff was still getting dressed and Nanna was in Elsa's arms, sleeping.
"So..." Elsa grinned at Anna. "How was...it?"
Anna almost spit out her orange juice. "How was what?!"
"You know...sex...doing it?"
"I know what you mean." Anna put her drink down and cleaned her mouth. She sighed. "It was...first it hurt, but then...it was heavenly..."
Elsa giggled. "Oh really?"
"Yeah and Kristoff's really...good..."
"Eww, Anna I don't want to know that!" Said Elsa.
"Come on, it's just a bit of dirty talk..."
"Dirty talk?" Elsa leaned a bit closer to her. "Okay, then, did you know that Jack likes to do it in his office or anything that has a desk?"
Anna looked at her in disgust. "No...that is just..."
"We once did it in the library...on one of the tables..."
Anna scrunched her nose up. "Ew! What?! No, no, no, I always read in there!"
Elsa held on hand up. "Anna, will you please calm down? I was just teasing you back...and please, keep this a secret."
Anna nodded and put her hand onto her shoulder. "I will if you never talk about such things again."
"Oh, I don't know. I might. You are my closest friend, remember?"
"I...I know, I said that, but...come on! I don't need to know..."
"Or...you didn't mean that?" Elsa's voice sounded a bit sad, all of a sudden.
Anna quickly waved with her hands. "No, no, I...I..."
"Geez, kidding, kidding!" Elsa giggled. "Come on, I'll tell everything to Jenny. Whoa, you are really cute when you get embarrassed."
"I'm not, I'm not!" Yelled Anna with a red face.
"Hey, what is all this yelling about?" Jack walked into the room together with Kristoff. He was holding Hendrik over his shoulders.
"Nothing, nothing." Said Elsa quickly. "I was just teasing Anna."
Kristoff sat down and put a pancake on his plate. "About what?"
Elsa looked at Anna. Anna grinned at Kristoff. "Just about marriage..."
"Oh yeah, we did that."
"Kristoff!" Anna looked away with a blush. Kristoff shrugged and started to eat. Jack sat down next to Elsa. He put Hendrik down in his seat.
"Hendrik, I'm cutting your pancake." Said Jack. He grabbed a pancake and cut it up in little pieces. He took some sirup and poured it onto the pieces of pancakes. Hendrik smiled brightly and grabbed a piece with his hand.
"Hey, Hendrik, use a fork." Said Elsa. She handed him a small fork. "You don't want to grow up to eat like an animal..."
"Okay mommy!" Yelled Hendrik.
Suddenly Nanna woke up and started to cry loudly. Elsa sighed and held Nanna up. She sniffed on the baby. "Dammit, she crapped. Jack, would you like to...?"
"No, I already did it yesterday."
"So?" Elsa raised her eyebrows. "I already did it this morning and I'm going to do it for the next two years, so will you shut up and just do it?"
"Looks like Nanna isn't the only one who's in a bad mood." Whispered Jack.
"What was that?!"
"Nothing, just a comment about your big ass, happy?"
Elsa glared at him. Nanna was still crying and Anna and Kristoff were both uncomfortable. Jennifer walked into the room and was immediately spotted by Jack and Elsa.
"Hey, Jenny!" Yelled Jack and Elsa at the same time.
"What is it?" Asked Jenny.
"Can you please change Nanna's diaper?" Asked Elsa.
Jennifer walked up to them and took Nanna in her arms. The small baby was still crying loudly.
"Good." Said Jennifer. "Because you both ask so nicely..."
"Thanks." Jack looked back at Elsa while the maid exited the room. "Now, today I have to meet with the council and everything..."
"So no time with your son." Elsa rolled her eyes. "What a surprise."
"Elsa...I would love to spend time with Hendrik, but I just..."
"You can't?" Hendrik looked up at him with big eyes. "Oh..."
"No, I was just...look, maybe you can accompany me to the meetings." Said Jack.
"You want a small kid to come to your meetings? Are you insane?" Elsa sighed. "He is a small kid, you can't do that."
"Oh, come on, one day he is going to be king..."
"Yes, when we're old. He still has time, smart ass."
"Don't call me a smart-ass, snow queen."
"Fine, how about asshole?"
"Stupid woman."
"Stupid man."
The two glared at each other in silence. Hendrik calmly continued to eat his breakfast.
"Elsa?" Asked Anna. "Should we go or...?"
"No, this is what marriage is going to be like guys." Said Elsa.
Jack chuckled. "Yeah...you're constantly fighting and then you make up by sex."
"Oh, you're not getting any tonight." Elsa folded her arms.
"Like I wanted any tonight."
Anna and Kristoff looked at each other and sighed.
By the end of the day the sun was already setting. Anna was sitting on a bench in town together with Kristoff. They were both enjoying some ice cream.
Anna had chocolate and Kristoff had strawberry. They two were looking at the sunset. It was beautiful to look at.
"So..." Kristoff stopped eating his ice cream, but kept looking forward. "We're going to turn into that?"
"I guess so."
"That sucks. I don't know how to use ice powers. Of course...since I'm the one with the lightest hair I will be the one with the powers..."
Anna giggled lightly. "Oh really? Well, then I'll be the one who will be calling the shots, go to war and be awesome in every way."
"Geez, you're just as confident as the king, so I suppose you will."
Anna rolled with her eyes. She was done with eating and leaned with her head against his shoulder.
"What ever is going to happen, I'll be happy to have you with me."
"Good. I'm happy with you too. But you already said it yesterday..."
"Do you always have to be so to the point, idio-"
Kristoff chuckled. He threw his ice-cone away and put his hand under her chin. He quickly planted a kiss on her lips and wanted to part away, but Anna pulled him deeper into the kiss.
After a few minutes they both parted, out of breath.
"Okay...let's go..." panted Kristoff. He cleared his throat with a red face. "I...uh..."
Anna jumped up and took his hand. "I know. Let's go to the bedroom...there are some things I didn't get to show you."
"Okay, freak."
Anna laughed and dragged Kristoff with her.
Meanwhile Elsa was on the balcony, looking at the sunset. In her arms she was holding Nanna, this time the baby had a clean diaper and a full belly. The small child was looking up at her with happy eyes.
"Beautiful..." Whispered Elsa to herself. She had seen the sunset a million times, but every time was like the first time in her life. It was always so beautiful to look at. Like the flowers in the garden. Like her child in her arms...like...
"Hey."
Elsa turned around and saw Jack walking up to her. He was holding Hendrik by his hand.
"Mommy!" Said Hendrik happily.
"Hi sweetie..." Elsa smiled at both of them. "How are you two?"
"Great!" Said Hendrik. "Daddy took me to the market and we had some ice cream and we played hide and seek and it was awesome!"
"You took him to the market?" Asked Elsa.
Jack nodded. Hendrik released his hand and looked at the sunset with a smile. Jack walked up to her and planted his hands onto her shoulder.
"Yeah...and I'm sorry for this morning. I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"It's okay...I was out of line too." Said Elsa. She moved forward and gave him a quick kiss. "And we kinda scared Anna and Kristoff."
"So what?" Jack chuckled. "They will end up like us. They just don't know it yet. They're still in the honeymoon stage."
"Yeah..." Elsa looked back at the sunset and so did Jack. The two were silent for a while.
"We truly have some years to go before we both wither and die." said Elsa suddenly.
Jack looked at her again. "We do. But dragons live long, remember?"
"Yeah, I know, I know...so what do we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"The day is almost done...we still have some hours, the kids aren't tired."
"I need to make a doodie!" Yelled Hendrik suddenly.
"Let's bring that one to the toilet." Said Elsa. "And maybe we can cook tonight? It's something we almost never do..."
"Sure." Jack put his hand onto her cheek. "Anything for my ice queen."
"Yeah, yeah, just remember, you're the king who is married to this ice queen."
Jack folded his arms. "I like that. The ice queen and the king...it could almost be a title for a book."
Elsa laughed. "Yeah right. Come on, let's go, handsome. We need to bake pancakes."
"Yes, Elsa, I love you too." said Jack sarcastically.
Elsa grabbed his hand and the two walked through the door.
THE END (?)
Oh my lord...it is finished! :0
So quickly!
Anyway, I really enjoyed this story. I almost even cried at this last chapter :'(.
But I'm going to make a is why there is a question mark at the end.
I'm already working on the first chapter. All I can say is that it's going to take place years later. So the kids will be a bit older.
For now I'm going to finish a few other small stories before I begin the sequel. I don't know what I will name it, but we'll see.
I'm already pumped for it :)
But thank you for reading and following this story, it means a lot!
