Normal POV.

Elsa was fuming. She was furious, livid even. She has made her decision and tonight, she is going to pay Katherine Dobrah a visit. This woman doesn't know what is coming her way. Who does she think she is to waltz into her daughter's life like a flower and ruin everything she has built for fourteen years? They say a mama bear will stop at nothing to protect her cubs, well... Elsa is about to prove Katherine just how true this statement is. And angry mommy Elsa is not someone you would want to deal with, you might as well consider jumping off a cliff. Seriously...

Checking one last time for the address and looking back at the house in front of her, Elsa slipped the small business card Jack gave her earlier back into her purse. She was here, there is no turning back. With one last thought for Anna, she climbed out of her car and walked up the alley that leads to the front porch to ring the doorbell. She adjusted her vest and straightened her shoulders, waiting not so patiently with her hands clutched tightly in front of her. She couldn't wait to see this woman. As seconds passed, footsteps approaching could be heard and after what seems to be an eternity, the door finally opened to reveal a blue eyed woman dressed in only a nightdress while holding a towel in her hands as she dried her damp hair. Elsa wondered if it was a bad timing, not that she cares anyway. She really doesn't.

So this is where Anna got her pretty eyes... She thought, eyeing who she assumed to be Katherine Dobrah.

" Yes? " The woman asked, looking at Elsa up and down.

Elsa narrowed her eyes and cleared her throat.

" Are you Katherine Dobrah? "

" That's me and you are? "

" Elsa Queen, does the name ring a bell to you? "

Katherine smiled but it wasn't a genuine smile. She leaned against the doorframe, still looking at the stunning blonde in front of her. It was obvious that she is not going to invite Elsa in and Elsa did not expect her to either. She was not here for tea time, she came to put Katherine back into her place and she will do it right here at her doorpstep if she has to.

" It does. " Katherine replied, glancing up again to look at Elsa straight in the eyes. " It's a pleasure to meet the woman who took care of my baby. "

" I wish I could say the same. " Elsa replied hostily, her tone sharp and cold and she purposefully waved off her statement about 'her' baby.

" I should have known that it was only a matter of time before someone shows up at my door. Honestly I was expectecting Hans or my daughter, not you. "

Elsa scoffed. " Your daughter? "

" That's the truth no? I'm her mother. " Katherine shrugged.

The fact that this woman just called Anna her daughter made Elsa's blood run cold. How dare she? Anna was hers, Katherine had no right to call her that. She's raised Anna as her own since the day the baby was left on her father's doorstep, the same baby Elsa fell in love with as soon as their eyes met for the very first time. Where was Katherine back then?

" What kind of mother abandons her child on a doorstep like you did? You left her behind and never turned around for fourteen years, now you call yourself a mother? "

" I am her biological mother and I might have been absent for all these years but I'm back. "

" Biological or not, I don't care. " Elsa shook her head, her eyes narrowing. " You can't just disappear and come back as if nothing happened. "

" I believe I just did that. "

" You sure did. " Elsa snapped. " And walking into her life the way you did, saying that she was adopted is an act of pure selfishness. Did you ever consider her feelings? How she would take the truth? "

" I am sure she would take it better if you never lied to her about the adoption. In fact, I am sure that if she knew she was adopted, she would only want one thing and that is meeting me, her real mother. You are just as selfish as me, you want to keep my daughter to- "

" -Anna is my daughter! " Elsa cuts her off, the look in her cold blue eyes reflecting her anger.

" But she will never be yours like she is mine. " Katherine shot back.

Elsa clenched her jaw and balled up her fists by her sides. Her glare only hardened as she stares at the woman in front of her, her words echoing in her head. As harsh as she sounded, a part of what Katherine said was true and this is the only reason that kept Elsa from slapping the hell out of her. But damn, how bad she wants to make this woman disappear from the surface of the planet with a single snap of fingers.

" You might be her birth mother but you will never be her mom. "

Katherine actually laughed at that. " Please I carried her for nine months, I brought her to life on my own. You have a son too right? So you must know how it feels to give birth, to have a child to truly call yours and this is were the difference is. You felt something with your son that you never got to feel with Anna, this is something I got to feel with her and that you can never have. "

" Right this is something I can never have, something I wish I had but I am thanking you nonetheless. "

" And why would you thank me? "

" You made me a mother the day you left Anna and even if I did not carry her like I did my son, I carried her in my heart. You are so wrong about me, there is no difference between my children and I love them both equally and maybe I am even more overprotective with Anna because of my constant fear to lose her. Your loss is my gain and THAT is something you can never have. "

Katherine looks slightly taken aback at Elsa's words, the fierce look she was given was enough to make her tense. The truth sure does have a bitter taste.

" Does that mean you will keep me from seeing her? "

" I am considering this option at the moment we speak, you broke her heart after all. But this is really Anna's decision. Just keep in mind that I am her mom, Anna is legally mine and when someone threats me to take away my babies, I will fight for what is mine. For my familly, I will stop at nothing. "

" I didn't threat to take away your baby, only mine. I have no intention to take your son. "

Elsa chuckled darkly. " That's good to hear but Anna is one of my babies and just like I said, you are not taking her or the next time you will wake up will be in a cell. I am a lawyer and I promise you that if you don't back off, I will do everything in my power to end you. "

" You think I'm scared? " Katherine looked at her incredulously.

" You must be, this in not an empty threat. It's a promise. " Elsa stated firmly and on this last note, she flipped her braid over her shoulder and spun on her heels, leaving a speechless Katherine on the front porch. As she got in her car, Elsa slammed the door shut and let out a cry of anguish. Her fingers gripped the wheel tightly and her head rests against her forearms as she leans forward.

" Anna is my daughter. " She whispered to herself, trying to gather her thoughts and calm down. " She can't take her away from me. Not if I can help. "

Back at Hans's appartment

After they left Elsa's house, father and daughter ordered some take outs and went back to Hans's place. Anna was really tired, so they decided to stay here tonight and watch the girl's favorite show before going to bed.

" Dad? "

Hans torn his eyes from the show that was currently playing on the screen to look down at his daughter, who was laying on the couch next to him with her head on his lap. " Hey I thought you were asleep. "

" No... "

" What's up kiddo? "

Anna sighed and sat up sideways on the couch with her legs crossed in an indian style. " How did you meet Kate? Or Katherine? " She frowned at the name. Her birth mother was a stranger to her and calling her Kate sounds so wrong.

" Are you sure you want to talk about her? "

" Yeah. "

" Alright. " Hans nodded slowly. " I'll give you a short version, okay? "

" Okay. " Anna agreed with a short nod.

" With some friends, we were invited to a show in Phoenix and Katherine was a model that night. After that, there was a party with alcohol involved. "

" And of course you all got drunk. "

Hans couldn't help but wince at her statement because it was true. " Yeah. She took a sit at our table and we talked a bit. She was nice, at least from what I remember and I also recal her telling me that she had issues with her family and she needed to cool down a bit. So we did just that and... God this is awkaward. "

" What? "

" I guess you can imagine what happened next. "

Anna narrowed her eyes in confusion until she realized what he meant. She quickly shook her head, waving her hands back and forth in front of her face.

" Oh no, skip this part! "

Hans sighed in relief, it wasn't the kind of conversation he wanted to have with his daughter.

" Alright, so after this night, I woke up the next day to an empty bed. She was gone. " He explained shortly, leaving the unwanted details about the conception of Anna this night. He didn't want to scare her now, Elsa will kill him for that.

" Just like that? " Anna gasped in disbelief. " But wait, did you cheat on-? "

" -What? " Hans shrieked before she could finish her sentence and gave her a look. " No! I met your mom two months later at a ball uncle Flynn dragged me to because he needed a ride to meet his girlfriend. "

" Auntie Zie? "

" Yeah this crazy woman. " He laughed at the thought of Rapunzel. " And she brought her cousin. So this is where your mom comes in. Elsa was really annoyed and she kept complaining about a case she would have rather worked on than being there but of course, Rapunzel would have none of it. "

Anna smiled. " Sounds like them. "

" Yeah.. we were both left out, so we made it a double date. And this is how it started. " Hans finished, shifting on the couch to face the girl. " I didn't know that Katherine was pregnant with you at the time. You were five months when we found out and she left you in my care. "

The smile on Anna's face suddenly vanished as she thought about how Elsa must have felt when she discovered about her. It must have been hard for her, especially since the baby wasn't hers. " Was she angry? "

" Your mom? " Hans asked.

Anna sighed but she gave a short nod. " Yeah her. " This 'mom' thing was obviously still bugging her. She would never consider calling someone else mom beside Elsa but right now, her feelings were so messed up.

" Hey she is still your mom. " Hans told her, though still keeping his soft tone. " Even if Katherine came in the picture, Elsa is your mom. "

" Well was she angry when she found out about me? "

" More like confused." Her answered, choosing his words wisely. He could see the look in her eyes, fearing that the only mother she ever got might have hated her at some point. She was wrong. " She loved you as soon as she took you in her arms, you were her world Anna. You should have seen the love in her eyes when you called her mommy for the first time, she talked about it for months. "

" Oh... "

" We were a great family just the three of us but I guess I ruined everything when I joined the marine corps. "

Anna frowned, tilting her head. " And now she is married to Doctor Frost. "

" I thought you like him. "

" I love him. I wouldn't call him papa if I didn't and he treats me like his own daughter. He always gets me and Olaf out of trouble. " She smiled at the thought.

" The perfect guy. " Hans replied thoughtfully. " I knew he had a thing for Elsa. I mean, he was checking her out every time we took you for your regular check ups. "

" Dad are you jealous? " Anna scoffed.

" Me jealous? Pfff... of course no. " Hans huffed, rolling his eyes. What kind of question is that? " I am a captain from the marine corps, I can kick his ass easily. And it's not like he had a firecracker for a daughter, he is the one who should be jealous right? "

Anna laughed, slapping his chest playfully. " You're silly. You know I love Jack but you're my daddy and I love you more. "

" That sure makes me feel better, I love you too princess. " Hans smiled, ruffling her hair swiftly. " It's good to hear you laugh honey because a gloomy Anna is pretty scary. "

" Thanks geez! " She rolled her eyes. She leaned into his side again and rested her head on his shoulder. Father and daughter stared at the screen again, the show long forgotten but they didn't care. Anna wanted to enjoy this moment with her dad and forget about what happened today. At least for tonight.

11:00 PM

Anna had already gone to bed in her room two hours ago but Hans was just getting ready to call it a night. Being used to a military lifestyle, he felt the need to clean around the living room before heading to bed. Though while doing so, he was surprised by the knocks on his appartment door. Who would visit him at this hour? Placing the empty take-out boxes on the coffee table, he wiped his hands on a small towel and threw it over his shoulders before answering the door.

" You? " He asked, confused upon seeing the familiar blonde at his door.

" Hey... " Elsa looked at him nervously.

" What are you doing here? Is something wrong? "

She ran a hand through her hair and sighed. " Sorry to show up like this, did I wake you up? "

" No I was just cleaning around before going to bed. Anna is already sleeping though, do you wanna come in? "

" No thank you, I'm fine. I just came to drop this. " She pulled something Hans assumed to be a magenta baby blanket out of her purse. As he eyed it, he realized it's actually Anna's old baby blanket. " I know you must think she is too old to have it but she always keeps it around just out of habit even if she doesn't sleep with it, so I thought she would like to have something familiar with her. "

" Just say you were worried, you always do that. " He chuckled. " Last time it was a stuffed toy. it's okay though, I'll give it to her. " He shrugged, taking the blanket from her.

" Thank you. "

" Are you okay? You look like you had a rough time. "

" I talked with Katherine tonight. "

Hans bit his lip in anticipation, not knowing if it was good or not. " How did it go? "

" Well I told her what was on my mind, that's all. Let's just wait for what she does next. "

" Not good then, okay. "

" How is Anna? " She asked, a look of worry reaching her eyes.

" She is okay, still a bit upset about everything that happened today but she is okay. She just needs time and she will eventually come out of her shell. "

Elsa nodded, sighing softly. " Okay then, I guess I'll ju- " Thump... She was cut off by the alarming noise coming from the living room. She frowned when more noises were heard and she glanced at Hans questioningly. " What was that? "

Thump...

" Weird. " He answered, turning around to find the source of the noise. Elsa followed after him and both of them were surprised to find their daughter shuffling around the place, not really going anywhere but just walking around as if she was in trance. " Anna? "

The girl did not react to her father's voice. Instead, she walked around the couch two times before sitting down with her hands in her lap. Her eyes were glazed as she stared at the wall, not really seeing it. Elsa watched her more closely, Anna didn't even notice her and that says something.

" She is sleepwalking. "

" She still does that? " Hans asked, surprised. Anna used to sleepwalk when she was little and the girl would wake up the next day with no memory of what happened the previous night. He thought it was just a phase and that his daughter got over it. She obviously didn't.

Elsa nodded, moving to sit next to the girl. " Sometimes. Thoses moments are really scarce though. " She rubbed Anna's back softly and kissed her temple. " Sweetie it's mom, can you hear me? "

" Are you kidding Elsa? " Hans deadpanned. " A bomb could explode right here and she won't wake up, this is only worse in this state. Let me take her to bed, no need to wake her up. "

" Right. I'll get rid of all the sharp things around just in case she slips out of bed and sleepwalks again. "

He laughed at that when a thought came back to him. " I thought we were passed the sleepless nights and worrying about sharp things laying around. " He hummed, watching amused as Anna stares blankly at her while Elsa keeps rubbing her back.

" Olaf is worst. I swear these two are made for each other, they always surprise you. "

" I see... umm should I keep her with me? I'd rather be there if it happens again. "

Elsa shrugged. " If you don't mind her kicking you in your sleep. Honestly I'm used to it but you... " she trailed off.

" Pfff I got worse. " He smirked. Having a kid kicking him during his sleep is nothing, he could handle it, especially if it's his princess. " Do you think I should lay pillows around her too? Or on the floor in case she falls off the bed? Oh man, I sound just like you. " He groaned, rubbing his face.

" I think she will be okay Hans, she is not a baby. "

" Wow and that comes from you, unbelievable. " he rolled his eyes, lifting Anna in his arms and carried her to his room while Elsa gets rid of the sharp things laying around in the living room. After a while, she finally walked in the room with the baby blanket in her hand to find Anna fast asleep in the bed. " She was out again as soon as she hit the pillow. " Hans mumbled.

" Hopefully she will sleep until tomorrow. "

" Yeah. " He replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

" Well I think I will go now. " She walked over to the bed and tucked the blanket under Anna's arms and bent down to kiss her forehead. " Sweet dreams honey, I love you. " She smiled sadly at the girl and stood up straight, wiping a tear she didn't feel running down her cheek until now.

Hans didn't miss it though.

" Elsa, you're okay? " He asked.

" I'm fine. " She replied firmly.

" Oh, okay. "

" I will call you tomorrow. "

" What? No I love you? " He teased.

Elsa rolled her eyes playfully.

" Good night Hans. " She smiled genuinely for the first time since they met earlier at her house. And just like that, she left too, feeling slightly better after seeing her daughter.

Once she got home, Elsa stopped by Anna's room and she wasn't surprised to find Olaf sleeping in his sister's bed. Everytime Anna stays at her father's house, he would sleep in her bed as if to be close to her somehow. Smiling to herself, she quietly walked in the room and slipped in beside him. The boy didn't move, he was just like Anna, sleeping like the dead.

" Sweet dreams angel. " She gently kissed his cheek and laid her head on a pillow. She was almost asleep when she felt the weight on the bed next to her and strong arms wrapped around her middle from behind. " Hey... " She whispered, turning around to face Jack.

" I missed you. "

" I'm sorry. " She said, shifting her head to his shoulder. " I needed to see Anna. "

" I understand, I am worried too. How is the little one? " Jack asked but Elsa didn't answer, so he didn't push it, knowing she was hurting. " It's gonna be okay love, in time. "

He felt his wife nodding against him. " I love you. "

" I love you too. "

The family slept that night in Anna's room. Thanks God, it was a king size bed, so they could all fit in. But Jack wondered what would the girl think if she sees them sleeping here. He was sure that Anna wouldn't be mad at them but she will definitely find it weird. Or funny. The girl was obviously missed. Sure they always miss her whenever she stays with Hans but this time was different for some reasons. She left the house heartbroken, a look of hurt and betrayal in her eyes with dried tears on her cheeks.

It was not the Anna they were used to see and he hopes that will change soon.

Chapter two done!

I previously said that I wanted Hans to be in Anna's life, so this is why I made this father-daughter bonding time. There is more behind Katherine's story which is the reason why she acts that way and decided to come back for Anna. I won't say much though.

So stay tuned.

Until next time, peace lovely readers :D
