It was August 1st, and the second anniversary of Kristoff and Anna's wedding. The couple had plans to spend the entire day together, which meant that they were leaving Joseff in Elsa's care during the day, and Elsa couldn't have been more excited to spend the entire day with her nephew.

At the moment, Kristoff, Anna, and Joseff were all together with Elsa in her room. The couple was explaining to Elsa what they would be doing during the day and how long they would be out, while also providing her with instructions for Joseff, particularly how often he needed to eat and take a nap.

"Well, that should be everything," Anna said after she mentioned everything she thought necessary. "We've never been away from him from such a long time in one day, so I hope he'll be okay."

Kristoff, who was holding Joseff in his arms, said, "Oh, he'll be fine, Anna. I mean, he loves his Aunt Elsa, so I think we're leaving him in good hands."

"You know you are," Elsa said with a warm smile.

"I wouldn't trust him with anyone else, Elsa." Then Kristoff put Joseff in her arms and she turned to face her son. "Okay, sweetie. Mama and Papa are going to be out all day, so you'll be spending time with your Auntie Elsa. I'm sure you two will have a lot of fun together. And be a good boy for her, okay?" She planted a kiss on Joseff's cheek. "Mommy loves you so much."

"Daddy loves you, too, Joe," Kristoff said, then he gave his son some kisses, too. Joseff managed to smile at both of them, which only made them smile wider and at each other.

"Don't forget about me," Elsa piped up. She held out her arms, and Anna gently gave Joseff to her. Then the sisters embraced in a one-arm hug.

"Thanks so much, Elsa."

"Yeah, thanks again, Elsa," Kristoff added, and he and Elsa kissed each others' cheeks.

"It's never a problem to look after Joseff. Happy anniversary, you two, and have a great day."

"We will. Bye, Elsa. Bye, Joseff," Anna said as she waved and walked out of the room, and Kristoff followed suit. Elsa walked out of her room and watched and waved after them until they were finally out of her sight.

Then the queen went back into her room and tenderly held her nephew closer to her. "So my little prince, it's just you and me for the day. What would you like to do?"

Joseff still couldn't speak, of course, so he just stared at Elsa. But that just made her smile. "Okay, you can't tell me yet. But I think you'll enjoy what I have in mind for today. First off, you've never even seen all of the castle. So as your queen, and aunt, I will start our day by giving you a tour of this place that is your home." She adjusted Joseff in her arms, then added, "And you know what? One day, this whole kingdom may be yours to rule, so I'll teach you just what you need to know to be a good ruler."

By the middle of the afternoon, Elsa had had a wonderful time with Joseff. Even though he couldn't do much of anything, she just loved having his company. After she showed him every place she knew of inside and outside of the castle, they had lunch together in the gardens (with Elsa feeding Joseff some milk and a little bit of baby food). Joseff was getting sleepy following that, so Elsa put him down for a short nap and spent some time going over paperwork.

An hour and a half later, Joseff finally woke up, prompting Elsa to go from her desk over to Joseff's bassinet. She looked down and smiled widely. "Is my little prince all rested up now?"

Joseff looked back at her and giggled his presumable response.

"That's good." Elsa reached down and gently picked Joseff up. Then they sat down on the floor. "How would you like to play some games?" Then another idea came to her. Although she was a little bit afraid of doing it, she also thought it was worth a try.

"Joseff?" Elsa asked, then she took a deep breath. "How would you like to see my magic?"

Joseff had an expression on his face that resembled curiosity as much as it could for a tyke his age. As Elsa began to swirl her hands, a small snowball appeared in them, and Joseff widened his eyes.

With a gentle motion, Elsa threw her hands upward and up in the air, the snowball disintegrated into thousands of snowflakes that fell towards the ground. The little prince laughed excitedly and threw his arms up as high as he could.

Seeing how delighted her nephew was at the snow she created, Elsa conjured up a small pile of the snow around them, though she made sure it wasn't deep. Joseff continued his playful antics by patting the snow with his little hands and attempted to crawl through it. At one point, he stumbled and his face fell in the snow, but Elsa just laughed with amusement, not mockery.

"Can you make an angel in the snow, my little angel?" she asked sweetly. Elsa gently placed Joseff on the floor and around the snow, then helped him move his arms up and down.

Afterwards, she picked him up from his spot. "See? You did it," Elsa said while pointing to where he had been lying. Then she brought Joseff even closer to her and nestled into him for a hug. "You're just like your mommy when she was little. She acted the same way when she first discovered my powers." Elsa then suddenly felt a little bit sad, remembering how she had missed out on Anna's childhood because of her magic. Although she still could get nervous now and then, she wanted to give Joseff happy memories that she didn't get to make with Anna. Elsa brought Joseff even closer to her and tenderly kissed his face.

Just then, a knock came at Elsa's door. "Your Majesty?" someone outside called to her.

Elsa immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Kai. "Come in, Kai," she responded.

Kai did as he was told. "I'm sorry to bother you and Prince Joseff unexpectedly, my lady, but the council needs to speak with you right away."

"Right now?" Elsa asked unenthusiastically. "What is the problem? And is it so urgent that it has to be discussed today? I promised my sister and brother-in-law that I would look after Joseff today while they are out. I don't want to have them called back on their anniversary."

"I understand, your majesty, and I apologize for this. But since the king of the Southern Isles has sent yet another letter regarding the actions of Prince Hans three years ago, the council is worried that something serious could happen if we keep ignoring them. They want to discuss it with you since they believe you have the best decision over the safety of the kingdom as well as your family."

With Kay having said "family," Elsa gazed over to Joseff, who was now back on the floor, crawling around in the snow. Since the Great Thaw three years ago, Hans had been imprisoned in his kingdom until his brothers, especially the oldest, who was the ruler of their kingdom, decided on a more appropriate punishment. For now, Hans's brothers just wanted him to be locked up so he could spend time thinking about what he did to Arendelle's royal family was wrong. Several times, each prince tried to contact Elsa to apologize for Hans, but Elsa refused to answer them. She, Anna, and Kristoff all just wanted to never see Hans again.

But now that Joseff was here, Elsa realized how different things could be. Although Anna was proven to take care of herself, Elsa still felt protective of her over danger, and now she felt that Anna's own son was an even bigger priority. Even though she was his aunt, Elsa would do anything to protect Joseff from harm.

And if there was ever a chance that the Southern Isles could pose a threat to her and her entire family, for the sake of Anna and Joseff, Elsa knew she had to take action.

Elsa sighed. "Very well, Kai. I will be there shortly. In the meantime, would you please locate Olaf for me?"

"I will, your Majesty," Kai answered, bowing in respect to Elsa before he left the room.

A few minutes later, the happy-go-lucky snowman entered Elsa's room. "Hi, Elsa! Hi, Joseff!" he greeted with high enthusiasm.

"Hi, Olaf," Elsa replied.

"Kai said you wanted to see me. Did I do anything?" Olaf asked somewhat worriedly.

"Oh, no, no," Elsa chuckled. "Nothing at all. No, I sent for you because I have to attend an emergency meeting, and I wondered if you could look after Joseff for a bit, since Kristoff and Anna are out for the whole day."

"You can count on it." Olaf turned to Joseff and said in a baby-talk voice, "We're gonna have some much fun, aren't we, Joseff?"

"Now just stay with him in here, Olaf. Since he's crawling more, I don't want him wandering around the floor and into different rooms. I'm gonna lock the door, so don't leave until I return. But before I forget…" Elsa lifted her hands into the air, removing some of the snow from the room. "I don't want so much snow in here since I don't want to take the chance on Joseff getting sick." Elsa turned to her door, and before she left, she added, "Thanks again, Olaf."

Once Elsa had left, Olaf immediately turned his attention to Joseff, who in the past few months, had only seen and interacted with Olaf a few times, so he was a little unfamiliar with the live snowman.

But Olaf just gave the baby prince a big and wide smile. "Don't worry, Joseff. I can tell we're gonna become best friends! For starters, I like warm hugs, and I hope you do, too!" Knowing that Joseff couldn't move so much yet, Olaf sat down on the floor and waited to see what Joseff would do next. Before too long, Joseff crawled over to Olaf and cuddled into his chest. That prompted Olaf to give Joseff a hug as best as he could and snuggle into the little prince's face.

Hours later, Kristoff and Anna finally returned the castle. It was nearly dark by the time they arrived back, so they figured that Joseff might already be asleep, and that Elsa was ready to go to sleep after watching him all day.

When they got upstairs, they first stopped at Elsa's room, and what they saw surprised them very much! Elsa and Olaf were both stretched out across the floor, fast asleep, while Joseff was sitting upright, patting his hands in some snow.

"Looks like Elsa finally wanted to entertain Joseff with her magic," Kristoff whispered to Anna.

"And judging from what we see here, it seems that Elsa was exhausted first," Anna added. "Well, what do you say we put them all to bed? Do you think you can pick up Elsa and put her in her bed?"

"Hey, if I can carry you with no problem, then it's problem for me to carry Elsa," Kristoff answered assuringly.

So while Kristoff gently picked Elsa up from where she was lying, Anna picked up Joseff. Deciding not to disturb Olaf, she gave him a gentle pat on the head. After Kristoff set Elsa down in her bed, Anna brought the covers up to her sister.

Just then, Elsa began to stir and opened her eyes. Although she was still exhausted, she could make out Kristoff and Anna's faces easily. "Oh, you're back. Is Joseff there?"

Anna brought him forward, and Elsa exhaled in relief. "Good. He fell asleep when I did, but I figured he might have woken up, too."

"Joseff, do you want to thank your Auntie Elsa for taking care of you today?" Kristoff asked Joseff.

Anna brought her son over to her sister, who gently hugged the little prince. "You may not remember today, but it was one of the best days of my life." Elsa kissed Joseff and cuddled him closer. "I love you, my little prince."

While Elsa and Joseff shared their own act of embrace, Kristoff and Anna did, too. "Happy anniversary, Anna."

"Happy anniversary, Kristoff," Anna responded right before Kristoff tenderly kissed her and they wrapped their arms around each other for the umpteenth hug they shared that day.

I know that nearly all chapters have Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa in particular showing a lot of affection towards Joseff. But I do it because I have a soft spot for showing that towards babies, especially because I have my own nephew, who is almost eighteen months old. Sadly, I hardly ever get to see him because my sister (his mother) is acting ridiculous and paranoid about not letting his other relatives see him. If I could see him a lot more, I would do a lot of the things with him that I have mentioned in my stories, even if it's just playing with him.

And as for the bit with the Southern Isles, I wanted to put something like that in here to give Elsa a reason to leave Joseff for a bit. Now that I think of it, I may just make a chapter of her going to visit the kingdom for a while to make sure no harm will come to her family, especially Joseff. Of course, Hans's punishment for what he did in the film is pure speculation, but I have doubts that his brothers would have him executed. I do think a few years of imprisonment would be good, but afterwards? Well, ideas could include him being banished forever from the Southern Isles or being disowned, but I wonder if there is a way to make sure he never comes near Arendelle again, since he would obviously never be allowed to come there again. If you have any thoughts, please share them with me. :)
