AUTHOR'S NOTE: In the movie Kristoff's family is huge! There are kid trolls and, evidenced by the scene where quite a lot of pairs kissed, many intertwining relationships between adult ones. I feel as though growing up there must've been some trolls around his age physically, but also older sibling-like ones. So I gave him an older sister in this chapter.

"Wait, what?"

Elsa lifted her head from the computer screen. Anna was on her phone with Kristoff across the room. Judging from their conversation he was acting unusual. Elsa knew better than to eavesdrop, but Anna could be unintentionally loud at times. She was able to pick up her saying his name a few times and she questioned if he was okay twice. Now, there was silence.

Anna's eyes landed on Elsa with a dazed expression. Elsa arched her eyebrow up as a silent way of asking what was going on.

"I don't know." Anna mouthed to her.

Elsa's eyes narrowed in confusion. Before she could say anything Anna was back on the phone.

"Yeah, I'm still here...Tonight?...Uh, let me check," Anna moved the phone away from her ear and addressed Elsa. "Do we have plans tonight?"

Elsa shook her head. "Nothing big. Just dinner."

Anna repeated the statement into the phone. There was silence as she listened to Kristoff's response. Her face went from confused, to analytical, to amused in a matter of seconds. Elsa was very curious now.

"Hang on, I'll tell her," She replied. "Elsa, I need to go over to Kristoff's."

Elsa closed her laptop. "This late? What for?"

"He needs help with his niece."

"His niece?"

Anna nodded. "He's freaking out right now. He agreed to babysit her and her little brother for his older sister. His niece went to the bathroom with a stomachache and apparently got her, uh, gift from Mother Nature." Anna bit her lip in an attempt to not start laughing.

Elsa's eyes danced with amusement. "He has no idea what to do, does he?"

Anna let out a small laugh. "Not one. He knows what she needs, but has no clue from there. He also can't leave her or her baby brother home alone."

Elsa chuckled as she removed the laptop and placed it on the small coffee table in front of her. "Sure, I'll take you."

"I can drive, Elsa."

Elsa smiled softly to make sure she wasn't being misunderstood. "I know, but I have a feeling he's going to need all the help he can get."

Anna thought it over and then nodded. "You make a valid point," She brought the phone back to her ear. "Kristoff, we'll be right over. We're gonna stop at a convenience store first."

"Thank you!" Came the shouted reply.

The girls erupted into giggles as they gathered their coats and headed out. Anna was the last out and poked her head around the door before fully closing it.

"Watch the house for us, Olaf!"

Said kitten was snoozing on the couch and made no notion to acknowledge he heard her. Anna laughed and fully closed the door shut. She made sure to lock it and followed her sister down the stairs towards the car.

The door opened to a scattered looking Kristoff with what appeared to be a one-year-old in his arms. The second his eyes landed on them he let out a heavy sigh and gave a bright smile.

"Thank goodness. She's been in the bathroom this entire time. She refuses to come out."

Elsa smiled knowingly as she crossed over the threshold, Anna following right behind with a plastic bag. "She's probably embarrassed. Anna, can I have the items?"

Anna willingly handed over the grocery bag with a smile. "Go ahead. I'll help Kristoff."

Elsa headed over towards his bathroom before pausing and turning to him. "I'm sorry, what's her name?"

Kristoff blushed in realization. "My bad. I guess through all my freaking out I blanked on that part. Her name's Hilda," He lifted the baby in his arms and gestured his head down. "And this here is Rolf."

Elsa proceeded over and gently knocked on the door. "Hilda? My name's Elsa. I'm a friend of Kristoff's..."

Kristoff turned his attention to Anna. He looked down at her with immense gratitude. "I can't thank the two of you enough. I mean it." He said sincerely.

Anna waved her hand. "It's no problem. Elsa's great with kids and like I said, we weren't doing anything except dinner."

The man slapped his hand to his forehead. "That's right! I have to make them dinner!"

Rolf squirmed in his arms and landed his eyes on Anna. He couldn't keep his eyes off her, he was fascinated with the new face. Anna smiled sweetly and waved her hand. Rolf grinned and began to giggle. Kristoff looked down and then over to the kitchen.

"Do you mind watching him while I cook? Usually I ask Hilda, but..." He trailed off as he glanced over to Elsa still standing in front of the bathroom. Hilda hadn't let her in yet, but she was making progress as she chatted with her through the door.

Anna reached out her hands excitedly. "Sure!"

Kristoff handed Rolf over. He wiggled in her arms but then stopped as he discovered one of her braids and began to play with it.

Anna looked down at him with compassion and then seemed to register what Kristoff had said. "Wait, you cook?"

He shrugged. "Cook, boil water. Same thing."

Anna smirked. "Mac and cheese?"

"Mac and cheese." He repeated. "It's simple and they love it, works for me."

He walked over to the kitchen while Anna went the other direction towards the living room. She sat down on the couch and placed Rolf so he was facing her. Sven trotted over and sniffed the tiny human. Rolf giggled and clapped his hands, eventually using one to lightly slap the Bernese on the head. Sven remained still and let the little guy have his way with him, licking his little toes in between. Anna smiled at the scene.

"You like Sven, Rolf?"

Rolf stopped his petting at the sound of her voice. He suddenly remembered she was there and started tugging on one of her pigtails. Anna winced slightly as she placed her hand over his to loosen his hold.

"Strong grip you got there, little guy." Rolf giggled happily.

Anna securely held both his arms and began bouncing him up and down. Rolf's giggles turned into joyous laughter. Anna joined in and then wrapped her arms behind his back, dipping him forward. Rolf squealed with joy as Anna brought him back up. When he got bored with that she placed him on the floor and handed him the various toys scattered on his blanket. Each toy handed to him received the same examination. He would stare at it, place it in his mouth and chew for a while, and then promptly slam it repeatedly on the ground. He was on his fourth toy when Elsa came over and sat down on the floor with them. Anna turned towards her.

"Any luck?"

Elsa nodded with a satisfied smile. "She's all set. Just changing."

"Good. Kristoff's making mac and cheese."

She gave a smirk that mirrored Anna's. "Only thing he can cook?"

Anna nodded with a laugh. Rolf crawled over to Elsa with interest. He looked up at her with curious eyes.

"Hey there." She said sweetly.

Elsa held out her hand calmly. Rolf smiled bright and grabbed two of her fingers before gurgling. Liking this new person, he climbed into her lap without hesitation. Elsa stared a little dumbfounded, but then wrapped her hand around his middle and placed a delicate hand on his stomach. Anna looked over at Elsa with a huge grin.

"Aw, he likes you, Elsa. You're so good with kids."

Elsa looked down and then up at her sister with nostalgia. "I have you to thank for that. We may be only three years apart, but sometimes you could act like such a baby." She said playfully.

Anna scoffed and lightly hit Elsa's arm. "I did not!"

Elsa let out a snort. "Oh, yes you did. Sometimes it took hours to get you into bed. You would complain that the sky was awake, so you had to be awake."

"It wasn't my fault you wouldn't play!" She defended.

Elsa gave a sly smirk. "Sure thing, Anna. Whatever you say."

Anna grumbled and crossed her arms, adding a pout to the mix. Elsa laughed. "You know you're just proving my point, right?"

Anna resisted the urge to stick out her tongue. The conversation ended when the sound of the bathroom door opening was heard. Both girls turned their attention to the shy twelve-year-old exiting from the room. She shuffled over to Kristoff and the two of them whispered a small conversation. He rubbed her head affectionally and then motioned over towards the three, telling her to join them. She slowly walked over and plopped herself down next to Elsa. Seeing his sister, Rolf started giggling and extended his arms out to her. Hilda cracked a grin and let him grab two of her fingers.

"Hey, Rolf." She said quietly.

Elsa placed a comforting hand on her back. "Hey Hilda, glad you could join us. This is my little sister, Anna."

Hilda glanced up at the name. "You're Miss Anna?"

Anna was taken back by the tone and stared with confusion. "Uh, yeeeess?"

Hilda noticed her bewilderment and composed herself. "Sorry, it's just Uncle Kristoff mentions you a lot."

Anna wasn't entirely sure if she should take that as a compliment or an insult. She glanced over to see the man still at the stove. She leaned in closer to Hilda. "What exactly does he say about me?"

"That you're crazy," She said bluntly. Anna dropped her jaw but Hilda didn't seem to notice as she kept going. Elsa stifled her laughter with her free hand. "And you talk a mile a minute, but he also said that you're sweet, creative, energetic, and very kind. He called you pretty once on accident, he became frantic after saying it," Hilda giggled at the memory. "His face was so red. Are you his girlfriend?"

Anna's face became crimson as she looked away from the little girl. When she landed on Elsa, the look her sibling was giving made her face turn scarlet. She resorted to staring directly at Rolf, who remained oblivious to what was going on around him.

She remembered that Hilda had asked her a question. "Uh, no. I'm not."

"Do you wanna be?" The girl asked.

Anna stammered. "W-Well, I...I kinda-"

"Food's ready!" Kristoff shouted as he turned around. Anna jumped and snapped her head over to him, her blush intensified. He noticed and started laughing.

"Geez, Anna. I know you startle easy when you're skating but I never figured you were this skittish." He looked over at Elsa and noticed Rolf situated in her lap. "Looks like you made a new friend. Mind bringing him over, Elsa?"

"Sure thing, Kristoff."

Elsa lifted Rolf and held him on her hip. She sent Anna a teasing look before she carried him over to his uncle. She handed him over and Kristoff placed the infant in a highchair. "Thanks, Elsa."

Hilda stood up and held out her hand to Anna. She smiled and allowed the preteen to help her up. The two made their way over to the small kitchen table. Kristoff sat down in the chair closest to Rolf's highchair. Elsa sat to his right, while Hilda hurried over to sit across from her uncle. That left the seat to Kristoff's left with Rolf in the middle. Anna sat down as Kristoff placed their meal on the plates. He took a good spoonful and placed it in a small bowl. He set the bowl down in front of him and stuck a miniature fork in. He then turned to Rolf and sucked in a breath.

"Alright bud, let's see if we can feed you without causing a huge mess."

Rolf giggled, seeming to challenge him. Kristoff put on a face of determination, Anna inwardly giggled as it represented the face he made when they were playing the video game, and started feeding forkfuls to Rolf. The girls started to pick off their plates as silence fell upon them, the only noise Rolf's occasional gurgling. Hilda broke the silence.

"So, how old are the two of you?"

Anna and Elsa glanced up and over to the preteen. Elsa answered first. "I'm twenty-one."

"And I'm eighteen." Anna finished.

Anna opened her mouth to ask a question of her own but was interrupted by the sound of a bowl clattering to the ground. All eyes turned to the two boys. Rolf was giggling gleefully while Kristoff looked down at the bowl and its scattered contents.

He sighed exasperatedly. "Roooolf."

Rolf could only laugh harder. He squealed and slammed his hands on the tray. Anna placed a hand on one of his chubby arms to direct his attention to her. It worked and he looked over at her with a wide smile. Kristoff bent down and picked up the bowl, got up, and threw it in the sink. Anna went to get a towel, but he held his hand up to stop her.

"I got it. Sven!"

Sven jumped off the couch and headed over. Kristoff snapped his fingers and pointed to the spilt mac and cheese. He panted happily and began to slop it up. Kristoff grinned over at the girls.

"Personal vacuum cleaner. No home is complete without one."

The women laughed as Kristoff sat himself back down. He looked over to Anna sheepishly.

"You think you could feed him? He seems to calm down for you."

Anna's face softened and stared affectionately at Kristoff, quickly moving her gaze to Rolf. She found both of them incredibly adorable in different ways. "Sure thing, Kristoff."

After dinner Kristoff popped in a movie. Anna sat on the couch with Rolf curled up in her arms while Kristoff sat on the other side of the love-seat. Elsa and Hilda chose to sit on the ground with their backs leaning against the others' legs. Halfway through the film Anna looked down to see Elsa's head slumped forward. She leaned down, being careful not to wake Rolf.

"Elsa?"

No response. Anna craned her neck to the side for a better view. Elsa had nodded off. She smiled fondly and leaned back into her previous position. She took a free hand and gently ran her fingers through Elsa's hair. Elsa instinctually leaned into her touch with a low hum. Kristoff observed the two girls.

"Man, Elsa is really tired."

Anna nodded as she continued her ministrations. "She had a pretty rough day. Her alarm clock never went off this morning and everything kinda went downhill from there."

"Ooh, that's rough," Kristoff sighed dejectedly. "Aw, man. If I had known I never would've asked for you to come over. I feel bad now."

Anna shook her head. "Don't worry about it. Elsa volunteered herself. I tried coming over alone, but Elsa insisted she help."

Kristoff put on a small pout. "I still feel sorry. Rolf and Hilda's parents should be here soon."

He shifted his eyes down to the snoozing baby in Anna's arms. She followed his gaze and smiled affectionately.

"They really are great kids. Probably because they have such a great uncle."

Kristoff blushed and scratched his head, a habit Anna began to notice he did whenever he was embarrassed.

"I wouldn't go that far. My sister's the great one...but thank you."

They stared at each other, seeming to lose themselves, when they were abruptly snapped back to reality.

"Oh, just kiss her already!"

Two heads snapped down while one went up and to its left. Elsa massaged her stinging neck and tried to clear her foggy mind. Hilda sucked in a breath as she realized she woke her.

"Sorry, Miss Elsa."

Elsa slowly shook her head. "It's fine, Hilda. What were you saying?"

The two on the couch had equally matched startled faces along with the same shade of blush. Elsa's eyes switched back and forth between the two and then landed on the girl next to her. Hilda shrugged.

"Nothing. I was just yelling at the movie. They're still dancing around each other, it would just be easier for everyone if they kissed. Or at least tell each other how they felt."

Elsa shot Anna a pointed look. "Oh really?"

Anna caught on immediately and sent a glare right back. Hilda wasn't blind to their silent exchange, but chose to ignore it. "Yeah, it's obvious they like each other." She leaned back into Kristoff's shins. "Why do adults have to be so complicated?"

Elsa hummed in agreement. "You got me, dear." She glanced up at her little sister. "Why do they?"

Elsa was grinning mischievously, not even trying to hide it. Both occupants of the couch looked anywhere but at each other. Elsa let out an amused giggle. She missed being an older sister. She missed it a lot.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: School has started yet again and so has the wonderful activity known as homework. I also took extra time in writing, reading, rewriting, and reading this chapter due to its length and because it has become one of my favorites. If anyone didn't catch the subtle reference, this chapter takes place during the evening of the last chapter. Now, to the fun stuff:

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED! :3 Your comments have helped significantly with my decision on Gregor. However, I am still hoping for reviews on him (I received seven and yearn for more) because I'm still in the mental process of how to reintroduce him in a believable circumstance.

As always, PLEASE REVIEW! :D
