Drabble prompt - Kristoff and Elsa being by Anna's side comforting her when she gives birth...
A scream pierced the night.
The windows of the room were opened, and it was very likely that some villagers of Arendelle got awaken in the middle of their sleep by the Queen's voice. It didn't matter if they were, they got used to that very disturbance anyway.
Anna was clenching Elsa's hand so hard that the latter was pretty certain that her phalanges would crack and break at any time. But she didn't mind. Her entire focus was on her baby sister, her eyes staring intensely at her face. She couldn't help but smile when the 'baby sister' thought crossed her mind. No, Anna wasn't a little girl anymore. As a matter of fact, she was the one delivering a baby right now.
Elsa frowned as she regained her focus, one hand holding Anna's firmly, and the other stroking her hair above her forehead, infusing a balanced amount of cold to keep Anna's head fresh without making her feel dizzy.
Anna's other hand was clenching Kristoff's one, just as harder, and Gerda didn't fail to notice that even the mountaineer, who had palms the size of Anna's face, was clenching his teeth in pain.
When the nurse had encouraged Anna to let her anger completely free for it helped the labour, he had looked at her like she had lost her mind. As the Queen gave another push, everyone in the room cried on different levels.
Elsa clenched her eyes shut as Anna squeezed her fingers even harder, and moaned in pain along Kristoff while she yelled at the top of her lungs. The encouragement screams from the midwife and all medical staff couldn't even cover her cries.
The elder endeavored to forget the sensation in her hand to give her sister as much care as possible, murmuring to her with a soothing tone while she kept stroking her hair.
"This is almost over. You can do it. You know you can do it." She encouraged, but still kept a calm voice.
"You're doing amazing, Anna." Nodded Kristoff, and he kissed her forehead.
There indeed was very few things that Queen Anna of Arendelle couldn't do. And it wasn't her firstborn who would make an exception.
In one last cry, one last encouragement call from the nurses, and one last squeeze of the hands, Anna gave birth, and tears rolled on her cheeks. When the midwife announced that it was a girl, her tears turned to happy ones, and both her cheeks got kissed by Kristoff and Elsa, sharing her joy.
