A little family drama for all you Gummy Bears out their.
The young princess of Istea fiddled with her fingers nervously, she sat in the dining room, waiting for her parents to arrive. They were going to be returning to Istea tomorrow and she was meant to go with them. But she wanted to tell them thwt she wished to stay in Arendelle, and she was also going to reveal the fact that she was in love with a man who had once been a small adorable and naive little snowman.
Anna and Kristoff had gotten married three days ago, and that night Jesselyn and Olaf had went for a walk in the gardens where they talked about how Jesselyn's parents should be in formed about their relationship.
The princess jumped when she heard the door to the large dining hall open. Her parents strolled in, confused looks on their faces. "What did you want to talk about dear?" Kristianna asked as she and her husband sat across from their daughter.
"Um, I was kind of wondering if maybe," she stopped and cleared her throat which was suddenly dry, "I could stay here in Arendelle."
Her father gave a confused look, "what are you talking about? I'm sure you've spent enough time with your cousins, don't you want to come home?"
"It's not that I don't want to come home, it's just that," she knew this would probably be the moment when her parents question her, but she swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and carried on, "there's someone here that I've grown to like, and I wanted to stay here with him." She looked down at her hands that laid neatly in her lap.
"Him? Jesselyn, have you fallen in love with someone?" Her mom asked, Jesselyn could practically hear the smile in her voice. She nodded shyly and he mother jumped from her chair and went around the table to pull her daughter into a hug. "Sweetheart, I'm so happy for you, after everything that happened you finally found someone you truly love. Who is it? A prince? A king?"
"No he's actually not royalty."
"Well who is he darling? We'll support you no matter what." Her dad gave her a comforting smile. But she knew when they figured it out that would change.
Jesselyn swallowed, her throat even drier than before, "it's Elsa and Anna's friend Olaf."
Her mothers smile fell, "you mean the one that was a snowman?"
Jesselyn nodded, they knew about his story, how he was built by Elsa during the Great Freeze and how unknowingly using her powers to bring him to life. How he had helped Anna after Elsa had struck her, and how with the help of the trolls, he had been transformed into a human. Though the reason was still unknown to them.
"You're in love with a snowman?" Her father asked in a strange mixed voice.
"Well he's not a snowman anymore, but I guess I was."
"Sweetie," he mothers voice faded as she took a few steps away from Jesselyn and sat down in one of the many dining chairs, "I'm not sure what to think."
"Mom, you've always told me that love can't be forced, and that it can't be faked," Jesselyn said kneeling in front of her mom, "isn't that true no matter who it is?"
Her mothers face shifted, "I suppose," she said softly, "but a snowman Jesselyn. He was a creature made of snow."
"But he had a heart, and now he's human, and he became a human for me. Because he loves me."
"Are you sure about this darling?" Marcus placed a hand on his daughters should, making her look up at him. She nodded with a smile. "Well I will say that it is going to take some getting used too. But I suppose, if you love him then we can't really stop this."
He knelt down by his daughter and she hugged him tightly, "thanks you dad," she said as he hugged her back.
She pulled away and looked at her mother, her eyes silently pleading her mother approved. "As your father said, we're going to have to get used to it, but we will gladly support you," she said after a minute.
Jesselyn gave a cheeky smile and hugged her mother tightly, which her father soon joined in on, "I love you both so much."
"We love you too," her mother said against her hair, "and we're going to miss you back home."
"I'll miss you too, but I promise I'll visit a lot."
"And make sure you bring that Olaf fellow with you, I'd like to have a little chat with him," her dad said giving her a sly smile.
"Alright dad," she said, laughing.
With that, her parents excused themselves to finish gathering their things for the trip home, and Jesselyn went in search of Olaf. She went out to the courtyard, expecting to see him, but it was empty.
She shrugged, the good news could wait. Instead she went into town, she had barely been away from the castle except when Nathaniel had taken her for a walk when he had first arrived. Jesselyn strolled along happily, smelling the beautiful blooming flowers and smiling at the laughing children that ran away from each other, hoping not to get tagged.
Jesselyn smiled as she sat on a bench, watching the boats float through the fjord. When she was a little girl, she would have never imagined her cousin have the power to control ice and snow, and that she would have created a cute and adorable little snowman with whom Jesselyn had happily fallen in love with, and that they could now be together thanks to wonderful magical trolls. But she could never imagine life going better than it was at that moment, she felt as though everything had fallen into place and she hoped that it stayed that way. At least for a while so that she could enjoy it.
Nice little family chapter I hope you all enjoyed reading, I thought you could infer what Jesselyn's relationship is with her parents from this.
