Anna was still sleeping in her crib rather soundly it had almost been two days since she returned to the crib in her parents room indeed her father had built a masterpiece the moment Anna touched the bed her dreams began almost the moment she was asleep the King and Queen left their room early in the study gallivanting about how her first birthday had to be perfect
Elsa quietly snuck out of her room and went down stairs. "Mama. Papa I'm hear." She whispered.
"Oh be-still my beating heart she's only been with us for 7 months it's simply too soon." cried the queen but was stopped by her husband "But mama we want to keep her young forever, time does not lie." "it's the year that makes the decisions not us."
Elsa stopped short and hid behind a pillar to see what was happening. "Dear if we give Anna too much attention Elsa will get the wrong idea."
Elsa tilted her head. What were they talking about? Both of the royals hair stood on edge when then they spotted her spying in a reflected mirror
"Elsa!" they both chimed "When did you get up?" Elsa stood up straight. "A-a-few minutes ago."
The queen tried to pull herself together okay well as you know snowflake babies grow up and today just happens to be the day the doctor says Anna will turn of age." "She may get more and more strength to do things." "We want her to remember this day."
Elsa tilted her head in confusion. "What's that mean."
The king sighed this was taking to long "It's Anna's birthday."
"Birthday….but she's so small." Elsa said
The little princess Elsa peeked out behind her father's leg. "There's a lotta people."
❆He smiled down at her❆ "Elsa when you were a baby the entire village came and twice as many then I see here today." "Prince Hans and You were playmates."
"Yes it's her first birthday she's not a couple of months old anymore it's a big matter." Elsa put her hands on her hips
"I know she's a year old but…she's still so tiny."
They giggled to each other sharing kisses with one another "Ew." The 5 year old stuck out her tongue. Anna turned over in her crib.
"So..what will I get the wrong idea of?" she held her hands to her chest
"Oh never mind that now."
"Yes Mama."
The queen tiptoed over to Anna's crib and pulled her out "Happy Birthday Anna!" The King put his hand on her soft head "Hey Stinky Today is a special day for you." Anna looked up and around her eyes darting "Look who's here Anna it's Elsa." Anna sleepily eyed her older sister, Elsa gave a small little wave. "Happy birthday baby Anna."
"Brith-aye?"
Elsa's mind was clearly on her mother. "Are we gonna have a party?" Idun's eyes grew in size!
"Dearest Elsa don't you think a party would overwhelm the little baby?" "Papa says you threw a party for me."
"Yes, but you and Anna well your different." "Your Papa's worried she'll get scared and cry and cry." "You were no where near as bad as her."
Anna hand out her small chubby pink hand to her sister's trying to reach her "Aaaww." Elsa looked down at the floor. "…yes mama."
The Queen could tell her daughter's didn't like the rule and neither did she but going against her husband would be most unthinkable to her. She set Anna down on the rug and Anna reached for the rug and tumbled "Haha!" "Eeh!"
Elsa walked over to her bed and sat down disappointed. Anna crawled to her sister's bed and yanked at the blanket till she let go and crawled under her bed. "Oooh cav "Elsa!" Elsa sighed and flipped upside down. "Come back out baby Anna."
"OOKIE!"Anna screeched excited Elsa winced. "Mama! Anna won't come out under my bed!"
"IAAH brithaye!" "Eh oh." Anna talked exploring the bed's undertoe "byue."
Elsa dropped to the ground and got on her knees. "Come here. Anna! Come here." Anna look up on the mattress to see where that sound was coming from and then saw Elsa's knees. "Elsa?"
Elsa only groaned and rolled her eyes. She got up and sat down by her study desk, even though she didn't even know what it was supposed to be used for.
Anna lifted up the cover and poked her head out "Elsa!"
A few of the villagers had brought their children over there was a blonde haired 6 year old "This party is lame." "A birthday party for a one year old stupid princess is a waste of time I'm out." she started heading for the castle door Mary put the cake on the table as Idun set Anna down on the floor on a blanket.
"Thank you all for coming it's an honor to celebrate another beautiful baby of mine."
The little princess Elsa peeked out behind her father's leg. "There's a lot of people." He smiled down at her "Elsa when you were a baby the entire village came and twice as many then I see here today." "Prince Hans and You were playmates."
"You mean that boy over there with the funny hair." Elsa pointed to a boy in the middle of his brother. The king laughed "The old dirt eater yeah… hahaha oh go socialize."
Elsa put her hands behind her back and headed for the young prince.
When the queen of the southern Isles saw Elsa coming she nudged her son forward. "Go on Hans. Dear go on."
"Mother." The prince sighed. "Don't be shy go say hello Elsa." her father helped her closer.
The prince rolled his eyes and walked up to her. "Hello princess Elsa." He huffed. "I'm very pleased to meet you."
"Uh." Elsa turned to her father and back around. "Please to meet you prince Hands." She gave a curtsy.
Hans certainly didn't like his name being mispronounced and went back to his mother.
Anna whined a bit as her mother washed her face. "I'll be back Elsa, sounds like I am needed dash it all play nice." Agdar waved
Elsa nodded. "Yes Papa." She turned her head and prince Hans came back. He took her hand in his and kissed the top of it. "Yuck!" He whipped his mouth with his sleeve. "My name is Hans. Not hands."
"Oh I'm sorry." Elsa frowned.
Anna crawled over to Elsa and tugged on her dress at pointing at the table "A!"
"Oh! Who let you out of your crib?" Elsa exclaimed. "Oh no Anna you can't have cake." She turned back to Hans. "This is my baby sister Anna…" she trailed on
Anna could see that her sister wasn't going to give her any help with the cake she began to crawl to the table as the children talked among themselves.
"Yes. That's what this party is for correct?" Hans questioned. "Yep." Elsa nodded her head. Anna pulled at the table cloth. "mmmm muy cakuke!"
Elsa and Hans kept talking. Anna pulled it so hard to whole thing came downwards about to hit her!
In a flash both Hans and Elsa reacted. Elsa grabbed Anna and pulled her back and Hans caught the plate with one hand.
"…"
"Whoa…"
"Muy cakue!" Anna whined! "No Anna you can't have cake yet. Only soft cookies." Elsa held Anna. "I wannnua caaaaaaaaaaaaake."
Hans winced at her whining and set the cake back on the table. "No sweets until you eat dinner. That's what Mother says." He stated
Anna thrashed around in Elsa's arms "Cakue!" "Cakue!" "Cakue!" "Cakue!" "Cakue!
Elsa carried Anna back to her parents. "Mama! Anna's being too squirmy. I'm going to drop here!" "Elsa!" "Cakue!" Anna wailed
Elsa held Anna up to her mother. Anna pulled Elsa's hair! "Elsa!" "Ow! Mama take her back!" Elsa whined
The Queen was talking to a villager "Raising two princesses well it isn't always easy but Elsa seems to be taking a liking to her more then I realized."
Hans gasped and walked up to the queen. "Your majesty." He bowed with cake on his face. "I believe your daughter would like to talk to you about your baby. As you can see she pushed cake in my face. I know she is just a baby but I do not appreciate it."
"Prince Hans, please don't convict my baby of such things it'll be years before she can splat things about."
Elsa held Anna up to her mother. "Anna pulled the table clothe and the cake almost fell on her." She stated as Hans wiped off the cake. "Hans caught the cake before it fell on her. I don't know how Anna got out of her crib though."
Her mother sighed "You know I'd like to have one day, just one where we don't blame innocent children for misfortunes."
She turned to her husband and they kissed "Is our babies having fun? " "Hard to say Elsa and her little friend are pulling demarcates on our newborn." The King could see his wife was cross so he knelt down to Elsa "Elsa, your Mother is under a lot of stress could we not blame the baby?" "I know take her to the play pen in the living area." "Near the great hall so everybody can see her." Anna picked some cake off Hans and smeared it on Elsa's nose "Elsa!" "Git cakue."
Elsa cried and little bit and set Anna in the pen. "C'mon Elsa lets over you cleaned up." Hans took Elsa over to a table and whipped her face.
"Mama and Papa hate me!" The little princess sobbed. "They say I was blaming Anna but I was only telling the truth I don't lie!" Hans said nothing.
The king turned to his wife "Honestly you see what you made me do." She sharp-eyed him right back "No your not blaming me for any misfortunes when Elsa turned 1 I had so much to do I missed everything I'm not repeating it." "Also I know we couldn't help the war, but that isn't war!" "I will not have war tear this family apart again!"
Anna peeked at Elsa and Hans in her pen she bounces hanging on the bars "Ah! Ah!" "Uppie!"
Elsa cried more and Hans took her by the hands and two villagers blocked Anna's view. "Mama she's so tiny! And cute!" A girl pointed at Anna. "Yes dear she is."
The little girl known as Penny held a pine-cone painted purple when no one was looking she got down by the princess pen "Hey Princess Anna wanna a lollipop?" "Go on take it!
Elsa and Hans both turned to Penny. "Excuse me?" Hans raised an eyebrow. "How dare you talk to us without permission."
She threw her pine-cone into Anna's pen "Whatever!" Anna pulled on her pen sides "Elsa.. Elsa!" she cooed in a whinny tone
Elsa only ignored both of them. "I'm going to get a lollipop." She went over to the sweets table and Hans followed.
"She's so sweet." A mother looked down at Anna as she picked up the pine-cone jamming it into her mouth!
Elsa did the same with a lollipop. "OH!" A villager cried. "THE PRINCESS IS EATING A PINE-CONE!"
The queen and king ran into the room "Annabelle!" "No!" "No!" "That's not for eating!
Elsa looked over at her parents. "I bet if I ate a pine-cone they wouldn't care." She sighed and took another lick of her lollipop. Hans gave her a concerned looked and picked up a brownie.
"Elsa!" "Keep an eye on your sister she can eat things that she could choke on we don't want that." The King put her back in the pen and the queen picked up Elsa
"Your idea was successful look at all the guests.
"I wanna talk to Hans! Anna isn't my responsibility." Elsa whined. "You keep an eye on her, she's your baby!"
Her father approached the girl "Elsa I told you, you have responsibility now just like your mother and I."
"But I don't want it!" Elsa sniffed. "Why can't you watch her? I was talking to people just like you. You told me to put Anna in the pen. You didn't tell me to watch her."
"Princess it takes a village, we all have to look out for her."
"Then tell the village to watch her." Elsa huffed and crossed her arms. "Mama put me down!"
"Elsa, you outta be nice to her baby it's her birthday." "She's not going to little forever enjoy her while you can."
"I can't if you're being mean about me 'blaming' her. She really did knock the cake out of Hans' hands. And who put her out of the crib in the first place?" Elsa whined
Her father put his hand to his temple "Alright, Alright Elsa, Anna knocked over the cake .. .what do you propose we do about it?" her mother nodded in agreement in a frown.
"Just believe me!" Elsa wailed and jumped away from her mother. "You don't believe me! You're just saying that to make me happy."
"We believe you Elsa, you do not tell fibs." her father concurred
"Then why didn't you believe me before?" Elsa sniffed Her mother leaned down and sat at Elsa's level "Because Anna barely and knock anything over when I'm in the room, but if you say it happened then it happened shortbread."
Elsa looked down and nodded. "Yes mama. But I still don't want to watch her." Anna pulled on Elsa's dress "Elsa!" her mother smiled "But if you don't she's just going to keep finding you."
"She'll stay in her pen where people can see her." Hans brought back her lollipop and handed it to her. "Let's go on the balcony. I think the moons out." Hans smiled
The guest started to die down in time the crowds come and go Anna was looked at to her hearts content and finally people stopped coming all together.
Elsa and Hans walked back inside. "All this for saving Anna from getting her head smashed by a plate." Elsa huffed The King and Queen waved to the guests as they left.
"Elsa you can sleep in our bed tonight princess."
"Ok I'll get in my nightgown." Elsa said sleepily and did so. She came back and had trouble getting up on the bed Anna climbed on top of her sister "Elsa!" ^—^ Anna got comfy snuggling on her sister's tummy sucking her thumb
"No Anna I can't fall asleep like that." Elsa sat up and placed Anna off to her side. "Mama what if I accidentally knock Anna off the bed?" She went over to her father and laid on his stomach. "Or squish her? You two would hate me forever."
They both tiredly looked at Elsa and laughed "Of course not Sweetheart, we love both of you." "If you did it on accident we certainly would not hold anything against you." "You both don't know any better." explained her father her mother picked up Anna putting her next to her in the middle of her and her husband
"Anna's our most troublesome baby yet darling, I pray to the lord she finds her way."
Elsa went on the other side of her father and let her parents act as a sandwich to Anna and she started to drift to sleep on her stomach.
Her father picked her up putting her in the middle next to her mother and Anna "No no Elsa, can't have you falling off in the middle of the night." "This is where you belong." he kisses her cheek "Right here."
Elsa only mumbled and fell asleep Anna kissed Elsa's cheek with baby kisses as they all drifted into a deep sleep
