Wow, I am very surprised at how much feedback this has gotten, and so fast, too! So I decided to post the next planned chapter of the miniseries, especially for today, since it's my birthday.

This chapter was inspired by one of my favorite Frozen stories "Love Will Thaw," by my favorite Frozen writer, Anysia. If you haven't read her stories, you must, especially the said story. :)

Almost two days after Joseff, the newborn son of Kristoff and Anna, was born, Anna finally had the strength to get out of bed again. But even while she was both in and out of bed, she and Kristoff, who was not working as much due to the change in weather, had spent nearly all their time together taking care of Joseff. That included feeding him, bathing him, and changing him. Although he would sleep, he needed to be fed every couple of hours, and the couple would alternate between feeding times. When Anna had her shift, she would breastfeed Joseff, but when it was Kristoff's turn, she had breast milk ready in a bottle for Kristoff to feed to him.

Kristoff and Anna often bathed and changed Joseff together, though when it came to taking turns with the feeding, when one parent fed Joseff, the other one took time to get some sleep. But after the first couple of days, almost a week after the birth, the couple was so exhausted that they decided that they needed someone to babysit Joseff while they both took a nap at the same time for a few hours. And Anna knew just who to ask…

When Elsa saw her new baby nephew Joseff for the first time, she thought he was the most beautiful baby she had ever seen…apart from when she first saw baby Anna when Elsa herself was only three years old. She cried tears of happiness upon seeing the newest member of her family, and she even kissed his tiny head and told him that she loved him.

However, despite the happiness she felt, Elsa could not help feeling very afraid at the same time. Even though she knew that love was what allowed her to control her magic completely, it was natural for her to experience anger and fear, especially fear of harming others. That still made her even more afraid to be around those she loved, and the thought of how her magic could harm her precious baby nephew just about killed her. So much so, she wondered if being around him so much while he was this little was a very good idea.

During the past week since Joseff was born, Elsa had not seen him again since, and she hardly got to see Anna and Kristoff as well, particularly because they never joined her for meals anymore. In a way, Elsa was using this chance to purposely avoid seeing Joseff, too, due to her fear, and she sometimes kept her bedroom door closed. Anna had even only asked Elsa about twice if she would help her and Kristoff take care of Joseff, but Elsa declined by saying that she too busy with her queenly duties. When Elsa remembered both times of Anna asking her this, it made her wonder if Anna realized that she (Elsa) was avoiding Joseff…especially if she thought Anna walked by her (Elsa's) room the few times when she kept the door closed.

Although she was supposed to be going over some important documents, Elsa was sitting at her desk and in deep thought about what she was going to do about her fear. Even though it scared her a great deal, she still wanted to see Joseff and wanted to be an important part of his life as much as she could. While she was thinking about all of this, she heard the doorknob begin to turn, so she stood up to see who it was. When the door was opened entirely, she noticed Kristoff and Anna standing in the doorframe, and Anna was carrying Joseff in her arms.

Kristoff and Anna didn't wait for Elsa to say that they could come in, so they just walked straight into the room. Once they were in close proximity with Elsa, who noticed that they both looked very tired, Anna spoke up. "Elsa, we wouldn't bother you if it weren't absolutely necessary, but we need you to watch Joseff while Kristoff and I sleep for a few hours. We've taken shifts on getting sleep, but now we're both very exhausted, so Joseff needs to be watched by someone else while we sleep."

"I-I-I can't, Anna. I just can't do it!" Elsa cried in slight panic as she felt her eyes moisten.

Kristoff took Joseff from Anna while Anna went to comfort Elsa. "Yes, you can, Elsa. You're my sister, and I trust you out of anyone else besides Kristoff to watch my son. You know how to control your powers, and I know you won't hurt him."

"How? How do you know that, Anna? And how can you still place trust in me? I can't not feel fear or anger now and then; they're natural feelings! I love Joseff, and I can't bear the thought of hurting you by hurting him, even if it would be an accident."

"But that's your answer right there! You love Joseff, you just said so yourself, so if you just feel love when you're with him, then you won't hurt him at all!"

Elsa briefly pondered Anna's words, thinking just how much sense she made. Anna saw Elsa's face light up, so that made her face light up, too. But then Elsa closed her eyes and sighed sadly. "But there's always that chance of something bad happening, Anna." Her voice beginning to break, she finished, "I just want him to be safe from danger."

Now Anna was beginning to get teary. "Please don't do this again, Elsa. Don't start your relationship with Joseff by shutting him out. We lost our childhood together and never formed new memories because of what we had to lose. Please don't do that to Joseff, too. I want you to be there for him when he needs you. I want you to see him as he learns to walk and talk. I missed not having you as a part of my life as we grew up, and I don't want you to not be a part of Joseff's life as he grows up."

That did it for Elsa. She started to cry, but it was out of happiness and realization, because she knew that Anna was entirely right about everything she just said, so she (Elsa) couldn't object to Anna this time.

"Anna, you are so right! That is just what I want with Joseff since I lost that chance with you. This is a whole new beginning for me with our family. And I can start making memories right away!"

Anna was so thrilled at what Elsa just said that she started to cry herself, then the sisters reached out towards each other until they tightly hugged each other. Kristoff, who had been watching the whole time with Joseff in his arms, smiled at his wife and sister-in-law, then looked down at his son and gently ruffled his hair.

Once Elsa and Anna had pulled away from their hug, Elsa looked in Kristoff's direction. She gestured her hands towards herself, saying, "Give him here. Give him to me," which Kristoff knew she meant to give Joseff to her. So he gently placed the baby in Elsa's arms.

Elsa made sure she had a firm yet gentle grasp on Joseff. She looked down at his face, and his open eyes gazed up at her own. After a few moments, his mouth curled up into a smile, and he gurgled happily.

Seeing her nephew smile up at her only made Elsa smile widely, with some more tears beginning to form in her eyes. "Hello, sweetie. I'm your Aunt Elsa, and I love you so much." She leaned down and gently caressed her cheek against Joseff's, then reached down to one of his hands and he gently grabbed her finger.

Anna smiled and felt tears form in her eyes again as she watched the sweet interaction between her sister and son. Kristoff smiled, too, then slinked his arm around Anna and pulled her close to him. "Do you think you'll be okay with him now, Elsa?" he asked.

Still looking down at Joseff, Elsa briefly raised her head to answer, "I'm sure we'll be just fine."

"Well, I have his needed items out here, including his diapers and bassinet." Kristoff said before he went outside the room to bring them in. As he did, Anna said, "He ate a few minutes ago, so he should be good for a nap later…though he may need to be changed before then."

"You two go ahead and get some rest. You deserve it, after all."

The sisters smiled at each other, and Kristoff said, "Thanks so much, Elsa. We really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. Now, go on, you have to sleep." She playfully waved her hand away to tell them to leave. "Go on, we'll be fine."

Kristoff and Anna took one last look at Elsa and Joseff and smiled. Once Kristoff closed the door behind him, Elsa looked down at Joseff. "So my little prince, do you want to sleep now? Or would you like me to sing to you?" She thought for a moment. "I'll sing to you."

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen…

As Elsa continued to sing "Let It Go," Joseff continued to look at her, almost in wonder, which told Elsa that he liked the song. When he smiled at her again, Elsa took it to mean that he was enjoying it, so she continued to sing.

About four hours later, Kristoff and Anna finally woke up from their nap, feeling refreshed. Not completely, but enough so that they weren't so exhausted as they had been before they went to sleep.

"Let's go get Joseff now. He's probably hungry again."

"I hope Elsa made out well with him."

Anna smiled. "I'm sure things went fine, Kristoff, just like she said."

When they reached Elsa's room, they quietly opened the door…and what they saw surprised them very much: Elsa was sleeping on her bed, while right next to her bed was Joseff in his bassinet. And while both were asleep, Elsa had her left index finger down in the bassinet, where Joseff was still grasping it in his hand, like he didn't want to let go.

Kristoff and Anna quietly exchanged smiling glances, with Anna silently expressing how touched she was by the sight before her. Seeing how peaceful the two looked together as they slept, they decided to walk out of the room.

"Should we just let them sleep?" Anna asked once they were out of the room.

"Why not?" Kristoff answered. "We'll come back when they're both awake. Besides, they look so content together, and they need to spend some time together. So let's just let them be."

"Well…at least right now, it's still just you and me."

Kristoff and Anna chuckled, then he leaned down and lifted her off of her feet as he tenderly and passionately kissed her.
