Chapter 18

"This is Agdar Frost." The voice said.

"Dad? Hey, it's Elsa." She said sheepishly. The line was quiet.

"Hi." He said painfully.

Elsa took a deep breath. "I'm sorry," she began, "I just felt that we needed to talk. I know you hate me, but I could have died yesterday and I needed you to know that I love you. Not just because you are my father, but because this is a stupid feud that has gone on long enough."

"Dad, I am interested in woman and that will never change but that doesn't mean we have to hate each other. I want to put everything aside, I want to see you and mom again. Not just to get some of my old things, but really see you guys."

The blond girl let out the deep breath. Her body relaxed and the other voice on the phone was quiet. Her hand began to shook. She checked to make sure the line was still open, it was. 'Maybe he's just thinking.' She told herself.

"Elsa. You are my daughter. I love you, just because of that. But I love you more because you have become such a beautiful young woman. You need not to apologize for anything. I, on the other hand, am very sorry. I over reacted. I kicked you out when I should have been helping you. And I can only imagine what that was like." He stopped for a moment. Elsa thought she could hear a sniffle.

'Is he crying?' She wondered. "Dad? Are you okay?" She asked.

"Uhm. Yes, would you like to come over tonight? I can pick you up on the way home if you need me too. Although you have your Jeep now." He said, something had changed in his voice. It felt like a bit of happiness to Elsa.

"I'd love too, I do need a ride though. I did get shot ya know." She smiled when the blond heard her dad chuckle.

"And would your friend be coming too?" He asked her.

"Anna? I don't know, I can call her."

"Sure, just text me when you find out. I'll be there at seven. So forty five minutes. Alright gotta go. See you soon."

"Bye." She said quickly before he hung up.

Elsa couldn't stop smiling. Her body felt so light, and her mind was finally relaxed. Like years of tension just disappeared. As she came back into reality, she heard a voice coming from somewhere. It sounded like Anna. She looked at her phone. "Oh shit!" She put it against her ear. "Hey sorry, I zoned."

"It's alright, what's up? Are you okay?" The sweet voice asked.

Elsa sighed happily. "I'm more then okay. Got any plans tonight?"

"Nope, I was on my way home. Why what's up?" Elsa could hear the traffic in the background.

"Wanna meet my parents?" Elsa asked with a big smile on her face.

Anna was practically bouncing up and down when Elsa's father pulled up. He smiled as the girls got into the FJ. Anna had to crawl in then help pull Elsa up into the back seat. Both girls giggled when Elsa landed on top of her girlfriend.

"You must be Anna. My finest student, you have a keen eye for photography." He was looking at them in the rear view mirror, as he pulled from the curb and drifted into traffic.

Anna blushed. "Thank you." The rest of the ride was filled with silence. The car wound around the city like a snake and took the corner up to Elsa's house easily.

"Meatball subs for dinner." Agdar told them as they walked inside. They were greeted with a beautiful aroma of sauce and fresh bread. Elsa walked into the kitchen hugged her mom and proceeded to pull out a bar stool.

"I don't think I've ever had a meatball sub." Anna said sliding down next to Elsa at the bar.

Elsa gawked at her. "Well be prepared to taste heaven on a bun." Anna laughed and pulled out her phone.

I've already tasted heaven on those buns ;) She passed her phone to the blond, red grew on the girls face.

"So Anna I've heard a lot about you." Elsa's mother said stirring the sauce and meatballs.

Anna looked shockingly at Elsa. "Hey don't look at me." The girl put her hands up in defense.

Elsa's mom giggled. "I'm sorry, my husband has told me about you. He says you have great talent with a camera. Dinner is ready when you are." She set a few plates out on the counter, which was lined up with steamy bread and hot meatballs.

The girls sat down to eat as Elsa's dad come to fix a plate. "Will you be joining us honey?" Her mother asked.

"Yes, I think I will." He smiled. "Anyone want anything, Sohpie? Beer? Soda?" He asked before walking to the table.

"I'll take a beer." Elsa nodded.

"Count me in." Anna agreed. Both girl looked at the older woman.

"I'll have water." She decided.

Mr. Frost set his plate down before grabbing their drinks. "So Anna," He said sitting down, "how long have you two been together?"

Anna took a long sip from her auburn glass and set it down. "A few months now. Actually it will be five on Thursday." She smiled at the blushing blond, who in turn slipped her bare foot up the girls thigh.

"Young love. It's a beautiful thing." Her mom commented.

Anna smiled at her. "No offense, but I think it's true love. I really love your daughter, with all my heart." She bit into her sub, moaning as the tastes spread across her tongue. "Oh my gosh," she swallowed, "this is so amazing. It's like a gate way into heaven."

Everyone laughed at Anna's words. She smiled a nervous smile at Elsa. They all talked and laughed, like a real family. And they embraced Anna like part of it, they made her feel welcomed.

Elsa's father was making eye contact with the blond and laughing at her jokes, something that hadn't happened in years. Which made Elsa feel warm inside. She loved that there was no serious conversations, no creepy questions, and no awkward moments. Her parents made it seem like nothing ever happened, and it took was a little bit on confidence on her part.

The sun burned low. Everyone was stuffed and all the food was eaten. Elsa was working on her third brew and Anna had already downed her fourth but seemed to be sober as ever.

"Tea anyone?" Her mom called mostly to the girls.

Anna rose her glass and nodded. "Yes please." Elsa chipped in. The blond girl stood up to take her plate over to the sink but Anna stopped her and took the plate along with her fathers.

"I like her, Els. She got manners." He whispered to his daughter. "You owe me beer."

Elsa laughed at her dad. "I'll buy you a six pack some time. Dad, can I ask you something?"

"Of course." He smiled at the girl.

"When did you know that you wanted to marry mom? Like when did you know that you were truly in love with her?" The blond rested her head on her hands and her eyes followed the red head who was doing the dishes and talking with her mom.

Agdar looked on with his daughter. "I knew I loved the woman the moment I set eyes on her. The gorgeous snow blond hair, her gripping teal eyes, and I can't forget that amazing body. But honestly, everything just felt right around her. Like nothing could ever ruin my life and everything would fade away leaving only her and me in a room. I knew, when she was the only person that made me feel again." He finished the last bit of warmed beer and stood walking towards the kitchen. Leaving Elsa to think.

"So how did you too meet?" Elsa mom asked as she put the kettle on to boil.

Anna giggled to herself. "Well it was the morning of the first day of school, me and my brother were hanging out at the park and I saw a girl walking alone. Olaf, my brother, told me she was new this year, I knew I had to get to know her. Anyway we had Art class together and I broke my pencil on accident so she gave me a new one and we started talking, then we hung out. Which was very emotional."

"Anyway, cancer happened. And that really brought us together. I was bent on helping her find a cure and I wasn't going to take no for an answer. Then we just started going out and one thing has led to another. So here we are, in a beautiful house with her amazing parents, whom by the way, I thought I would never meet." She took a deep breath and let it out. Anna smiled to herself as she washed dishes.

"Wow. I hadn't thought...wow. That's pretty amazing really. Oh you don't have to wash those." Elsa mom walked over to Anna.

"No, Mrs. Frost. I insist. You made dinner, the least I can do is wash the plates." Anna held her ground.

The woman sighed. "If you insist. I'm glad she has someone like you. She really needs it." She smiled to the red head. The kettle began to sing and shake. "Tea's ready when you are." She took it to the table, taking her husbands place.

"You don't need to do that Anna. We can get those later." Agdar said as he dropped the empty bottles into the recycle.

Anna laughed. "It's really no big deal, besides I'm almost done." She set a spoon onto the towel next to sink and turned the water off. "Would I be able to talk to you for a second? Alone."

"Sure." He gestured for her to follow and they walked through a sliding glass door and out into the sunset. Anna stared, soaking in it's beauty. The scene before her was perfect, the sun at the right angle, the light clipping off the city and the rainbow of colors in the sky.

"Wow." She breathed.

Elsa's dad couldn't help but let out a deep chuckle, smiling at the girl. "So what's up." His arms folded against the railing.

"Well, I know that this is the first night you guy have been a family in a while, but there is something really important I need to ask you." She took a deep breath.

"Okay?" A curious look on the mans face.

"With your permission...I'd like to marry your daughter." Anna smiled when the words left her mouth and she looked up at the taller man before her. The was beginning to fade away, his face becoming a shadow, and his figure tense with no expression upon his face. He only stared into the sunset thinking.

"Mom, she's amazing. I swear, she could be an angel." Elsa's eyes seemed to twinkle as she sipped her steaming tea.

Elsa's mom poured herself a glass of the hot liquid. "You know I was surprised when your father called and said you girls were coming over for dinner." She said taking a sip.

Elsa leaned back in her chair pressing the cup to her lips in thought. "Yeah, well I missed you guys. And after getting shot..well I didn't want to have any regrets when I die because I really don't know when that could be. Hell, I might drop tomorrow." She sighed, the steam blew forward and settled back in front of her eyes.

"Don't say that." Her mom laid a hand on the girls shoulder. "Let us help you, we can pay for treatments or whatever."

"No, it's alright. Anna's father has been working on something to help me." She smiled at the older woman.

Sohpie jumped when a door flung open and Anna run in. "Shit! Elsa they took him. They fucking took him." She slammed into the girls open arms.

Elsa stood up with her, calmly. "Dad, I need to borrow the FJ."

"Oh no. No." He said sternly.

"Dad I will give you my Jeep if anything happens. I will buy you a new one when I get the money. Just help me this one time." She begged him as Anna cried into her shoulder.

"Fine. There's a few guns in the safe. Take them if you want." He hadn't put up a fight, knowing that she would take it anyway.

"Your the best." Elsa sat Anna down in a chair. "Stay here for a moment. I'll be right back." Then she disappeared around a corner.

"It's going to be okay Anna. Our girl is the best." The tall man tried to comfort her.

Anna looked into his eyes. "The best at what?"
