Arendelle

March 8th, 1919

Stars and beauty. Those two words seemed to come together like knife and fork or bread and butter or other such comparisons. Stretching out forever across the ever-stretching blackness of the night sky above, anyone who looked up was immediately absorbed by its tranquillity and benignity. It almost looked like looking at heaven itself, wondering what beauty was held within each of those lights as if they were treasure chests, all waiting to be unlocked for people to discover what they hid within them. It's reassuring of problems was also a positive aspect. You could always rely on them to make you feel like you had something there to tell your problems to and they would listen and comfort you. It would not be a surprise if people heard them say "Oh, it's only temporary, it's not so bad. You'll be fine. Just smile and go with the flow and you'll have a smile on your face again."

Within the bedroom of Caspian and Emma, a peaceful mood hung over the two and their daughter Elsa and her two caretakers, Kai and Gerda. Emma lay in her bed with her body up to her waist covered by the sheets and a bundle of blankets in her arms. Her face held an expression of relief and exhaustion as if she had just run a marathon, but the smile on her face as she looked down at the blankets can tell us she was alright. Caspian sat next to the bed on a chair with a loving smile on his lips. Relief and happiness were all that could describe his emotions right now, as with all other in the room.

Sitting on the side of the bed with her small legs dangling over the side was Elsa, now four years and, just under, three months old. She had grown a lot from her baby years and was now a healthy infant. Dressed in an icy blue coloured nightgown, her hands clasping each other rather tightly with a hint of excitement and slight apprehension in her blue eyes, Elsa looked longingly at the bundle of blankets in her mother's arms. The last six hours or so had been antagonising and stressful to say the very least for them all but now they could reap the reward given to them.

"She's so beautiful," Emma commented in a whisper as she smiled lovingly down at the bundle of blankets; hovering her finger to just above the blankets and a smaller one grasped it tightly.

"She certainly is," Caspian replied with a smile as he moved closer and looked down at the blankets himself and planted a kiss on his wife's cheek. "I'm so happy," he breathed as he pulled back a little of the blankets with his finger and smiled and then looked over at Elsa. "Elsa, do you want to see your new baby sister?" he asked.

Eagerly, and nervously, she nodded and crawled over to her mother, sitting up and leaning forward to look into the blankets, her face lighting up when she saw the little figure within them.

It was a small baby girl with a rounded face, blue/teal eyes, a small nose and a touch of freckles across her cheeks. A tiny top similar to what Elsa had worn when she had been born was visible from the neck down to about half-way up the chest as the rest of her body was covered by the blankets; save for the arm that stuck out and held onto the mother's finger. A small tuft of red hair was visible on her forehead and one of her. When the baby's eyes looked up at her elder sibling, they seemed to sparkle with joy. The hand grasping her mother's immediately let go and it, along with the other, began to reach up towards Elsa as if trying to grab her and pull her towards her own little body. Elsa giggled and held out her hand and it was grasped by those of her baby sister; these being half the size of her [Elsa's] own hand.

"She's cute, mommy," Elsa said to her mother with a smile as her sister began to playfully tug on her hand as if trying to tear it off, which made Elsa giggle. "Quite a grip," she added.

Emma and Caspian smiled at each other, as did Kai and Gerda, as Elsa moved her finger up and down, her baby sister giggling at her playfulness. For Elsa it was something she had been looking forward to for weeks. She had never seen a baby before and now right before her was one. Her heart was jumping with joy over this moment. Oh it was amazing.

But … what about …? This was something that made her worried, especially when her new sister was going to be older.

"Mother?" she inquired, momentarily looking up at her with anxious eyes. "Could I …"

Emma, knowing immediately what her daughter meant, looked at Caspian with uncertainty in her expression; which he returned. Could they let her do something like that in front of their new daughter? Would it be right or not? Could they let their new daughter experience something like that? Sure she was only a baby, but she may remember it later on in her life. It was a little risky.

After a few moments, Emma looked back at her oldest daughter and nodded to her with a small smile. "Only do a little though," she told her with a hint of concern in her voice.

Elsa nodded, a little relieved at her mother's acceptance, and, twirling the fingers in her hand, began to conjure up a small cloud of ice and snow magic out of thin air. Her baby sister was mesmerised by the sight and giggled, reaching out with her other hand to try and grab it. Elsa smiled at her sister's happiness with what she was doing, as did her parents and carers Kai and Gerda.

Caspian and Emma, however, could not help but feel a little nervous about Elsa showing her baby sister her magical powers. Sure, yes, her baby sister would forget them within a few hours because she was a baby and her brain being so small it could not remember properly yet, but still it just unnerved them. Then again, When Elsa had been born and shortly after they discovered she had these ice powers of hers it had worried them greatly. They had thought of the troubles they would have in teaching her how to control them and not let them overcome her and threaten anyone around her. Luckily, Elsa had not been too much of a handful with them and was already learning how to keep them under control and not let them go, much to her parents' relief.

As Kai and Gerda looked on with smiles on their faces, Kai suddenly realised something. "Mayor Caspian?" he inquired, causing the mayor to look up at him. "Forgive me but what have you decided to name your new-born daughter?" he asked them.

Caspian looked back at Emma, who smiled and, looking at Kai, replied: "Anna. We're going to name her Anna."

"Anna," Elsa said, pausing her ice conjuring for a moment and looked up at her mother. "That's a really nice name, mother." She complemented.

Emma nodded. "It is, isn't it," She looked back at her daughter and kissed her forehead. "You'll have a little sister to look after now, Elsa."

Elsa smiled. "Yeah. I'll love doing that, mother." She said as she resumed her conjuring of magic over baby Anna, making her giggle again.
