A/N: Hey guys! Welcome to the last chapter of Love Will Grow Stronger! This has been an amazing journey with all of you and I just- yeah I'm just kidding this isn't over yet! Hahaha I got you! I'm sorry, that was pretty mean of me. What kind of frozen heart do I have? BUT, many are asking how long this is going to be and it's probably going up to 45 chapters so we're almost done here but not quite yet. Anyways, sorry for the scare and enjoy the chapter!
"Elsa, wake up." Derek whispered.
"I'm trying to sleep." Elsa mumbled and pulled the covers up over her head.
"Look, that's all fine and dandy but I need to talk to you."
That got Elsa's attention and she dramatically pulled the covers off of her and turned her head to look at Derek whose hair was all messed up. He gave her a gentle smile and sat up in the bed, Elsa doing the same.
"I need to talk to you about Leia."
"What about Leia?"
"I just don't know what to do? She's been depressed for days and no matter how much we try to cheer her up, she gets sadder and sadder! I hate seeing her this way and I've already lost control of my powers twice and I don't need to do it a third!"
Elsa saw how broken her husband was and so she snuggled up next to him and sighed while she slipped her hand into his.
"I know sweetheart, but you have to give it more than a week. She's been through so much and the best thing for her right now, is to be alone. I remember when Anna found out about her miscarriage. She was sullen for more than a month no matter how much Kristoff and I tried to cheer her up. And she had lost the baby a month before I arrived in the Northern Isles so she was alone and completely worried about me when I went missing. She's so strong to have endured all of that and now Leia is going through a different problem but with a similar outcome of feelings. Just give her time but make sure you check on her because depressed people sometimes think bad thoughts." Elsa saddened at her past experiences.
"It's just hard. Everything seems to be getting worse. Johannes hurt my sister, Hans tried killing both of you again, my fire spiraled out of control, and we never had out honeymoon."
Elsa began laughing and leaned up to kiss Derek on the cheek. "You're really set on having this honeymoon, aren't you?" Elsa giggled.
Derek nodded. "I just want to be alone with you. I feel like we're always needed by someone or something and I barely ever see you anymore. I miss my Elsa." He gave her a sly smile.
"Derek, no one is stopping us from having a honeymoon. Now that all of the Hans stuff is over, we can finally get away and enjoy ourselves."
"What about Leia? I don't want her all alone while we're gone."
"Anna and Kristoff are here! I'll make sure Anna sees to it that she feels better and is given some attention while we're away."
"But-"
"No, stop! It's final. We're going on a honeymoon first thing tomorrow morning and that's the end of it. Do you still have the place on the ocean reserved for us?"
Derek nodded.
"Perfect! Let's start packing!"
"Elsa, it's eleven at night." He laughed at her anticipation.
"You're right! We have more time now! Okay, I'm going to go let the staff know what's going on and you begin packing!" She giggled and ran out of the room.
Derek stood in the middle of the room in complete confusion. This was not the wife he knew. She was usually reserved and poised and now she was giddy and bubbly. He liked it though. He sighed in defeat and found a few suitcases under their bed and opened them up. Once he opened them up, he saw a single note in one of the suitcases. It was a letter from Elsa written to herself. He opened it and began reading carefully.
Elsa,
You must be crazy if you think this would ever work. You only just met him that day and you already blamed Anna for falling in love with a guy she just met that day. But then there's Derek Bentonia. Something about him seems to make you go insane and creates butterflies in your stomach. He doesn't even know you exist so stop filling your head with these silly ideas of love. He doesn't love you and he'll never love you. If anything, you'll just be friends with him and nothing more. Also, if you even want to be friends, you have to be normal around him and not show any weaknesses. Don't let your powers get the best of you because they seem to ruin every relationship you have.
Your very own,
Elsa.
Derek sighed and looked around the room. He couldn't believe how low Elsa thought of herself. She was so amazing and loving that just being in the same room as her was an honor. The part that killed him the most was when she mentioned how her powers ruined every relationship she has. He adored her powers with every inch of him and so did everyone else. Her parents made her believe that she was dangerous so that's what was buried into her head. He needed to show her how amazing she truly was and he could do that perfectly on their honeymoon.
Elsa got back with a big smile on her face and ran towards Derek and leaned down to kiss him passionately on the lips. He cupped her cheeks and pulled her down to sit on his lap. She giggled as she fell but didn't break the kiss once. They began feeling each other's mouths with their tongues and he wrapped his strong arms around her puny waist and pulled her in close to him. Elsa rested her little hands on his wide shoulders and squeezed them as they kissed. Elsa broke apart and smiled at her husband.
"I'm excited to get out of here."
"Oh, you have no idea how happy I am too. I just want to be with you and you only."
Elsa smiled and stood up. She grabbed the two suitcases and threw them on the bed and walked over to her wardrobe and grabbed two more suitcases. Derek watched her and smiled. Just her walking around doing normal things during the day made her even more attractive to him. She quickly glanced at him and then continued her packing.
"Are you going to just sit there and stare at me or help?" She said while lifting an eyebrow it the sexiest way to Derek.
"Well I could help you, but then I could also watch you and admire your beauty."
Elsa threw a snowball at Derek with a flick of her wrist and continued packing. Derek wiped the snow off of him and stood up with a grunt to help her pack. It took them a good three hours before they were finally finished. Elsa looked at the clock. It was already two in the morning and the carriage was coming at seven. It took two hours to get to the beach because it wasn't in Arendelle so they could just sleep on the way.
"Teamwork!" Derek said and he and Elsa shared a high five.
Elsa walked over to the bed and pulled the covers up and rolled into a ball because that's how she just slept. Derek walked over to Elsa's vanity and sat down.
"Come to bed." Elsa whined
Derek smiled, stood up, and walked over to the bed and crawled in next to her and pulled her close. "I love you." He said with a kiss to her forehead.
"I love you too. So much." She replied.
The next morning came with a knock on their door. Derek woke up first and looked over at the clock. It was six in the morning. Another knock brought him into some consciousness and he rolled out of bed and slumped to the door.
"Good morning Sir Derek, you're coach shall be here in an hour." One of the newest staff members said.
"Thanks." Derek said groggily and closed the door.
"Do I have to get up?" Elsa whined from the bed.
"Yes dear." He laughed with his eyes still half closed.
Elsa huffed and rolled off of the bed and walked to the bathroom with Derek following behind her. She began to draw a bath for herself as Derek brushed his hair. She undressed herself and stepped in and Derek turned his attention to her. She sank into the water with a sigh and closed her eyes. She used her arms to sway the water around and went underneath the water for a minute. Derek watched her completely mesmerized by her beautiful body. He loved it so much and he wanted nothing more than to climb into that bathtub with her.
"Care to join me?" Elsa said while her eyes were still closed.
She read my mind. Derek thought.
Without a word, he let his clothes fall to the floor and he climbed into the bath with her and their legs tangled up together and just the touch of their skin against each other drove them completely mad. Elsa glided over to Derek and she sat on his lap while they were in the water. She leaned up to kiss him on the lips and he returned it back even more fiercely. She wrapped her legs around his waist and continued kissing him.
"El?"
"Hm?"
"Let's wait until we get there. It makes it more….special." He smiled.
Elsa smiled back and kissed his lips one more time. "I'd love to."
She moved away from him and reached up on a shelf and poured a bunch of soap in the tub and they all formed into thousands of bubbles. Derek took some and put them on his chin to form a beard. Elsa laughed and scooped some up in her hands and blew it towards Derek. He wiped it away from his face and did the same back to her.
"It's in my hair!" She whined with a laugh.
"You look like Santa." Derek commented when Elsa lifted her head up and all of the bubbles circled her chin.
"Excuse me, I'd rather be Mrs. Claus and you can be Santa!"
"Deal."
"We should probably get out; we've been in here for a while." Elsa laughed and stood up revealing her nude body. She didn't even care because she felt so comfortable around Derek that she wasn't afraid to anything in front of him. He blushed when he saw her completely and smiled as he stepped out after her. He grabbed two towels that were on the floor and he wrapped Elsa up in hers first and then he did himself. They dried off together and put some clothes on.
Time passed and they were finally ready to leave but Elsa wanted to say goodbye to Anna, Kristoff, the twins, and Leia before they left. She went to the twins' room first and they were peacefully sleeping in their cribs, Alexander with his thumb in his mouth and Christabel butt naked. She and Derek smiled down at their niece and nephew and they both leaned down to kiss them on the cheek.
"Love you guys." Derek whispered and Elsa caressed their cheeks once more before leaving the bedroom and shutting the door slowly.
Next, they headed off to Leia's room where she was sleeping in her bed with the blankets underneath her with her hand placed over her stomach. Elsa walked over to the bed while Derek stayed in the doorway and she shook Leia awake.
"What's going on? What time is it?" Leia mumbled.
"It's almost seven, I just wanted to say goodbye before Derek and I left for our honeymoon. We'll only be gone for a week, okay?"
Leia nodded and closed her eyes shut. "Have fun." She said sleepily.
"We will thank you." She whispered and leaned down to kiss Leia on her forehead.
Derek and Elsa left Elsa's room and shut her door. They walked down the hallways to Kristoff and Anna's room. She opened the door slowly and peered her head inside. They were both dressed. Good. She slipped inside with Derek trailing behind her and she shook Anna awake.
"Are the babies crying?" Anna mumbled, still half asleep.
Elsa shook her again and her eyes opened fully this time. She smiled when she saw Elsa and then closed her eyes again.
"We're getting ready to leave. We'll see you in a week, Anna." Elsa whispered.
"Mmm…..kay." Anna mumbled again. "Get pregnant for me."
"Anna!" Elsa scolded and wacked her arm.
Anna just giggled and quickly drifted back to sleep in an instant. "Let's just hope she doesn't encourage Christabel to get pregnant like she's forcing me to." Elsa said with a shake of her head.
They walked down to the gates where a beautiful horse and carriage was waiting for them in front. The coach was already waiting at the door of the carriage with it open. He bowed to them and helped Elsa climb in. Derek climbed in next to her and the coach shut the door.
"I'm so excited!" Elsa squealed as the carriage began moving.
"I'm so glad we were able to do this. I missed spending time with you."
"Me too, honey. Me too." Elsa replied.
They sat in silence for a good half hour before Elsa's head began to droop and fall onto Derek's shoulder. His shoulders weren't soft or comfortable so he grabbed her head and placed it on his lap and gently massaged her head as she slept on him. He smiled down at her and looked out the window.
Elsa slept the entire way to the beach and when the carriage came to a sudden halt, Elsa's head shot up and she looked around. She panted heavily and then laughed it off.
"That scared me! I didn't know I fell asleep. How long was I out?"
"Two hours." Derek answered amusedly.
"Damn." Elsa said. "Are we here?"
Derek nodded with a huge smile plastered on his face. Elsa squealed and plunged herself at Derek and hugged him tightly. He chuckled and pulled her chin up for a kiss. "Are you excited?"
"More than words can say! I just want to have fun with you and be silly and just forget about royalty for a little while." She admitted.
"That's my plan." He said as he caressed her cheek with the back of her hand.
The coach opened the door and helped Elsa step out and then Derek got out behind her. The first thing Elsa felt when she got out was her high heels sinking into the sand that she stood over. She skimmed the scene and smiled when she saw a single house sitting in the middle of the beach and the beautiful waves crashing against the shore. It was rather warm out considering it was still November. Arendelle's real winter began at the end of December until late February. Elsa looked at Derek and pulled him into a hug.
"Can you please be here on November 24th at ten in the morning?" Derek asked the coach.
"Yes, your highness."
"Thank you!" Derek and Elsa both called out as the coach rode away into the distance.
"Shall we check out the house?" Derek asked as he held an arm out for her to take.
"We shall." Elsa laughed and took his arm.
The couple walked into the house and it was the cutest, quaintest house they had ever been in. It had dark red walls and the kitchen was small but useable. There was a large bedroom and bathroom however, which was good. It was right next to the water so their view was absolutely spectacular. There was a beautiful fireplace in their bedroom as well with beautiful Norwegian designs on it that told old stories of ancient kingdoms.
"It's so beautiful here." Elsa breathed.
"And romantic." Derek added.
"We should unpack so we can enjoy the rest of the day. What should we do first?"
"We should go swimming first!" Derek suggested happily.
"Better yet, we could go skinny dipping." Elsa whispered.
"You're breaking the rules of royalty." Derek teased.
"To hell with royalty! This is our honeymoon and we're going to make the absolute most of it!" Elsa said.
"I love it when you talk rebellious to me." Derek said.
Elsa laughed and turned her head away. "Want to go now?"
"Maybe we should wait until it gets dark." He said and kissed her.
Elsa nodded and the two put on their swimming suits that Anna had bought them from Oaken's Trading Post and they ran out of the house and towards the ocean. Derek picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and spun her around. She laughed as he spun her and then a large wave crashed into his legs causing them to fall into the water. Once they came up from under the water, they were in a fit of laughter and Derek and her stood up and ran out into water further. Once they were underneath from waist up, Derek pulled Elsa closer to him and they began making out very deeply. They let the waves take them as they got lost into one another and the seagulls above them sang songs and the gentle salty breeze caused Elsa's hair to flow gracefully behind her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he turned them in circles as they continued to kiss.
"I love how no one is here at all." Derek said while he broke away for get a breath of air.
"It's finally just us." Elsa said in between breaths.
They took a little break from swimming and decided to have lunch. Derek had asked Elsa earlier if she liked seafood and thankfully Elsa said she did so Derek decided he'd show Elsa how it's done. She sat on a wooden log in front of a fire that Derek and she prepared themselves. He carefully cooked the fish that he caught himself after much trouble of the fish squirming and jumping out of his hands. Elsa was against him killing it at first but then she realized she was hungry. The fish was just about done cooking and Elsa just stared at it. It looked absolutely disgusting and it still had a face which made Elsa even more disgusted.
"It's done babe." Derek said.
"I-I don't want to eat that. It still has a face."
"Would you feel better if I cut the face off?" He said in a baby voice. "Would that make the queen happy?"
Elsa rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Yes, that's make me very happy!"
"Fine." He chopped the fish's head off and Elsa winced. He then cut the fish up into smaller pieces and put them on a plate and sat next to Elsa on the log. He held the plate out in front of her to take a piece but she shook her head no.
"Fine, I'll do it first and then let you know what it tastes like." He laughed. He picked up a piece of the fish and raised it to his mouth. Elsa looked away and Derek shoved it into his mouth. She could hear him chewing and then a satisfied sigh.
"It's really good, snowflake you have to try it!" He said and handed her a piece.
Elsa hesitated but then took the fish and closed her eyes, raising it to her mouth and taking a bite. She chewed it for a second and then looked at Derek with wide eyes.
"It's…so….good!" Elsa said seriously.
Derek laughed. "See? I told you! You need to learn to try new things, snowflake!"
"I did!" Elsa whined.
"Yes and I'm very proud."
While Elsa and Derek finished eating their lunch, Derek began humming a tune and Elsa knew exactly what he was humming. She began singing to his hum.
"It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside.
I'm not one of those who can
Easily hide."
"You know this song?" Derek asked surprisingly.
"I sing this song to myself all of the time." She smiled.
"I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy I big house where
We both could live."
Then Elsa joined in again.
"So excuse me forgeting
But these things I do.
See I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue"
"Anyway the thing is...
What I really mean...
Those are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen."
He tapped Elsa's nose making her giggle a bit. She never realized how beautiful his voice really was and it just made her want to sing with him even more.
"And you can tell everybody
This is a song...
And maybe quite simple but
Now that is done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind"
"That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you are in the world."
They smiled at each other after they finished singing and he leaned in to give Elsa the biggest kiss in the world.
Hours later
Hours passed and Derek and Elsa decided to take a quick nap before going back in the water. The sun had gone to sleep and it wasn't completely pitched black out, but you couldn't see much from a distance. So Derek and Elsa took all of their clothes off as they ran back into the water and Elsa let her hair down to flow freely as she ran. They laughed as they plunged into the water and they swam far out into the ocean while holding hands. Once they found a warm place in the water, Elsa glided to face Derek and they shared a loving smile before he pulled her in closer to him and they began kissing each other passionately.
"I love you so much Elsa, always and forever." Derek said as their lips were still connected.
"Thank you." Elsa answered back.
"Are you ready?" Derek asked. He liked asking her to make sure out of respect.
"Yes." She whispered.
