Anna hummed a soft tune as she cradled her newborn baby Amara in her arms. "She has your nose. Thank goodness," Kristoff chuckled as he sat beside his wife on their bed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, and happily looking down at the little bundle that they had created together. "And your hair," Anna sighed dreamily, resting her head on his shoulder.
Kristoff rubbed small circles along her back. "You know. I used to think I never needed anybody, that it would just be me, Sven, and our boat. But then- well then I met you. And now here I am. I have a beautiful wife, a loyal dog, a great boat, and now a little girl that I can call my own." Tears began to swell in his eyes as he thought about how lucky he had been. "I couldn't be any happier than I am right now."
Anna kissed his cheek, "Me either." She rose to her knees and nestled herself in Kristoff's lap, being careful not to disrupt little Amara from her slumber. "Tell you what. How about tomorrow we take the boat out for a nice little cruise on the lake. I figured we've been so busy as of late it would be nice to take a little break." She looked down at the sleeping infant in her arms, "Plus. Amara hasn't been on the boat yet and I think she's old enough to go out as long as we're careful."
Kristoff beamed at this suggestion and kissed the soft ginger hair on his wife's head. "I could not think of a better way to spend a day with the two girls I love most in the world."
Anna placed Amara in her stroller and pulled the hood down so that the sun would not be beaming down on her. Anna dawned a huge white floppy sun hat with a cute little white sundress printed with sunflowers and brown sandals to match. She pulled down her sunglasses as she sat on the front porch, carefully rocking the stroller back and forth while she sipped on an ice-cold glass of lemonade. Kristoff was still in the kitchen packing up their lunches. As she waited, Anna closed her eyes and listened to the sweet chirps of the birds and the soothing music from the chimes that were being blown in the light breeze. She daydreamed about her life and all the opportunities that she had been blessed with. Growing up, she was often lonely. Her sister Elsa and her used to be very close as children, until one day she grew very ill and, in worry, their parents kept them apart so that Anna would not catch it as well. Though she knew her parents meant well by doing this, as they were told that the chances of Elsa surviving were slim, it still caused her to have just the tiniest amount of resentment towards them. However, that was all in the past now. Elsa had pulled through and Anna had fixed her relationship with her sister and now their bond was stronger than ever. Not only that but she had found happiness with Kristoff and now had a daughter made from their love. Kristoff always called himself the lucky one, but Anna thought that, if anyone was lucky, it was her.
When Kristoff came out with a reusable bag filled with their lunch he saw his wife looking ever so peaceful on the porch swing he had built. The sun cast a radiant glow upon her ivory freckled skin and her hair looked like wildfire. Gently setting the bag down he kneeled in front of her taking her hands in his. "Hey. Anna, ready to go?" Anna gave a small yawn and stretched her arms over her head. "Yep. Oh, did you make sure to pack the sunscreen?"
He gave a small nod. "Everything is all packed and ready."
Together they strolled down the street of their neighborhood, holding hands and pushing the stroller as they laughed about the good times of the past. One story, in particular, made Anna laugh so hard, lemonade came out of her nose.
The story was about their first kiss and how awkward the both of them had made it. Both were too nervous to ask or give any sort of hint that they were ready to take their relationship to the next step. But, as Kristoff dropped her off on her front porch he decided that it was now or never. However, instead of forming one coherent sentence, it came out all scrambled and tongue-tied. At some point within the sentence Anna swore she could have heard him say "we me," but he was rambling so fast that she couldn't be sure.
When the little family had reached the marina they made sure to stop by and say hello to friends and neighbors. They had let those hold Amara who had already met the sweet baby and introduced her to those who hadn't.
Eventually, after Kristoff had to nearly drag Anna to with him when she finished a conversation so that she would not go and start another one, they made their way down the wooden dock.
As Kristoff got the boat ready, Anna was busy strapping a lifevest and lathering sunscreen on Amara. However, when he snuck a quick glance, a deep rumble echoed in his stomach as he laughed at his wife and daughter who was now covered in streaks of white. Okay, so maybe she went a little crazy on the sunscreen, but can you blame her! Amara was still only a newborn and Anna, being the protective mama bear that she was, would do everything in her power to protect her. Even if that meant applying an excessive amount of sunscreen.
Once the boat was all set, and Anna had finally decided that Amara had enough sunscreen, Kristoff pulled out of the little port. Anna went to go sit beside him, placing Amara in her lap and resting her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and let out a delightful sigh as she felt the soft wind blow through her hair. "This is nice," Anna said, giving a small smile. "We have both been so busy lately, that we hardly get to spend some nice quality time with one another."
Kristoff wrapped an arm around her shoulders, giving them a gentle squeeze. "Yeah. I miss you when I'm at work. It's strange not having you there." Only a year after the two had gotten married they opened up their own flower shop. Flowers were actually what had brought them together, and they both hated being apart from each other for long periods of time, so they thought why not start a business that had a connection to their eternal happiness. But ever since Anna had the baby and took on the job of being a stay-at-home mom, Kristoff missed getting to work with her every day.
After cruising around the lake for a few minutes, they found a nice shaded enclosure to anchor down and eat their lunch. They continued to ramble on about the happy memories they have made as they ate their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and sipped on the sweet nectar of their ice-cold lemonade. Amara was still breastfeeding so Kristoff had packed the blanket Anna used to cover herself up with whenever she fed the small child. They finished up their meal with a nice chocolate cake with chocolate icing, Anna's favorite, that Kristoff's mother had made for them a few nights prior to help Anna get through the stress of taking care of a newborn baby.
The little family had spent the rest of the day basking in the summer sun and listening to Kristoff strum a silly song he and Sven had made many years ago. They felt sorry for leaving the sweet old dog behind, but he didn't really care for he took his job as protector of the house, and Amara, very seriously.
As the sun began to set, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the family had made their way back to the marina. When they had made it home and the couple had nestled down in their bed holding each other contently, they reflected on the joys the day had brought them. "Today was perfect," Anna sighed as she nuzzled her husband's neck. "Yeah," Kristoff said as he placed a kiss on her head. "Just another day we can add to our list of eternal happiness and more to come.
