This was a very difficult chapter. oh my god! Also there is something i want to bring up regarding my rapid uploading. No these chapters are not prewritten. i just sit down and take a day or two to write these chapters. Regarding to this story though. I must say, I had absolutely no plan for this story. It was supposed to be a one shot. so when it was requested to be full story… I had no idea what to do. Literally everything you've read up to this point has been written completely unplanned. Not counting the times you guys have inspired me to do some things that I hadn't initially planned to write.

now then, read on! Enjoy!

Joseph carried Elsa into the bedroom, kissing her with a fiery need; it enough to burn the building down. Elsa for one was very happy to be in this situation, she was burning with desire Joseph drew his tongue across her mouth. She jumped, surprised by the feeling, but obliged to open her mouth. She opened her mouth gasping and moaning with pleasure before practically biting on his tongue; she was desperate to explore his mouth after so much time apart.

Elsa released his waist, planting her feet on the floor. She proceeded to rip off her jacket, throwing it to the floor. Joseph found her shirt and gently ripped if off, before picking her up again.

Elsa didn't mind. She was having too much fun to care.

Her hands found his shirt, and she took no time in ripping it off, exposing his bare chest, he in turn laid her on the bed, kissing her lips, before moving down to her neck. Elsa pouted, missing the feeling of his lips, but found her self moaning as he began to bite and suck on her neck.

"Ah…" she moaned, lust coursing through her body.

Joseph looked up at her, giving her a smile "I've missed you too Elsa." he said.

Elsa gave him a glare "Joseph.. Do not tease me!" she said her voice filled with annoyance. Joseph was about to retort when they suddenly felt the bed shift following by a small "meow." Both of them jumped. They both looked at the source revealed to be Olaf, who had been sleeping under the bed until he heard them moaning and came to investigate. He was surprised to see a new man here with Elsa.

Elsa's face lit up like a light "oh.. Sorry Olaf." She said. Joseph looked between her and the cat "oh… I see that you've got company." he said a light smile on his face. Elsa giggled picking up Olaf, before dumping him on Josephs lap "Olaf this is Joseph. Joseph, Olaf likes warm hugs." Joseph stared at he cat, before picking him up in his arms. Olaf stared at him before licking his nose. Joseph smiled before nuzzling Olaf's nose. "oh nice to meet you too Olaf." He stood up, before opening the bedroom door "but I've got to help Elsa out. He deposited Olaf on the floor and closing the door outside before returning to Elsa, crawling beside her.

"I'll take care of you Elsa." he said, before moving to her lips and kissing her passionately.

Much later the two were under the covers having passionately made love to one another after a month apart. Elsa lay on top of him, breathing heavily "oh.. My…" she had no words for the past few sessions that they just had

She settled for kissing Joseph once again "I've missed you so much. She whispered

Joseph gave her a smile "I've missed you too." he said.

Elsa looked at him. While she was immensely happy that he was back, there was one question to be had. What had happened between him and Merida? In fact what had happened in general. He hadn't said anything about them at any point in the last few calls they had made. Did something happen to them. While she hated Merida from a romantic rival standpoint she had no reason to hate her personally. And Kelly of course was just a little girl. How could she hate a little girl?

"What happened to Merida?" she asked him

None to her surprise Joseph gave her a look of shock. They just had sex and the first thing that comes out of her mouth was a question about the woman who had put them in this situation in the first place? Well he had no reason ignore that question; he did owe her an explanation after all. "Well…"

Joseph and Merida stood with Kelly dressed nicely for court that day Kelly was in Merida's arms, looking quite scared. She really didn't understand the reason they were here; she was still too young to fully understand the situation before her.

Her parents on the other hand were slightly more nervous. They had explained the situation to the judge, who was surprised by the case that was being laid out before him. Never before had the judged been presented with a child custody case where both parents wanted some form of custody without there being some degree of animosity between them. They weren't even married.

Joseph and Merida had decided that Merida should retain full custody of Kelly; she had raised her all on her own (though with the assistance of her family) where as Joseph was pretty engrossed by his company and had no family support system, plus he was certain that his playboy past as well as his relationship with Elsa would definitely be brought into the equation regarding his custody of Kelly. He doubted that the judge would go easy on him, despite the changes that he had gone through.

Regardless they were ready for their moment in court. They walked into the courtroom, where Elinor was waiting for them, despite her health condition. She was going there to be supportive of her child and grandchild.

They took their seats, waiting for the judge to make an appearance. Thankfully they didn't have to wait very long, because the judge was an elder man by the name of Ralph. He was quite the tough guy on the outside, but was quite the softie, or at least that's what Elinor had told them. He would be looking over their case and would give his decision on the matter by the end of it.

They were hoping that he would be more lenient towards the problems that they were having. After the fiasco that Merida had caused in the first place. Both of them just wanted this to be done and over with. Merida knew that while Joseph loved Kelly dearly, he wanted to return to Elsa and get on with his life, while making sure that he would always find time for Kelly. She really couldn't blame him. That being said he did want to make sure this ended well for everyone.

"All rise for the honorable judge Ralph" the bailiff cried as in walked an insanely huge man. The judge sat down at his bench.

"Wait… Ralph?" Elsa asked. "Was he about yay tall, very huge and a bit of a wild haircut?" she asked measuring with her hands.

Joseph looked at her. "Well everything except for the haircut… wait! You know the guy?" he asked. Elsa nodded "we went to school together."

That was true, back in high school Ralph had been a bit of a troublemaker. He would always wreck things, whether it be by accident or on purpose, but he did have a heart of gold. The only weird thing was that whenever Elsa was around, he turned into a giant kitten, always stumbling over his words and even himself, always causing even more of a mess than he had started in the first place.

Elsa automatically assumed that he had a crush on her, but of course she was rarely ever around him and quite frankly, didn't want to date at the time. He backed off when she actually started dating, but that didn't make his feelings for her go away. Elsa was polite to him of course; she didn't want to hurt his feelings. She wouldn't have exactly called him a friend though, since of course they were hardly together. after graduation, he skipped own and she hadn't heard anything from him since.

Now apparently he had become a judge (that happened to be going over the case that her Fiancé was dealing with, thanks to his ex). Huh. It was a funny old world. Well there were stranger things that could have happened. Her meeting and dating her cousin's best friends was some such instance.

Joseph sighed. "Yeah well. anyway."

Joseph and Merida looked at the judge, lost for words. This guy looked kind of harsh. Sure he wasn't exactly scary, but he kind of looked like a bouncer, not a judge. Or even a wrestler. He was the farthest thing from a judge that they would have expected. Not that they were judging him of course.

He looked around the room "case number 2012" he stated, "custody hearing for Kelly Dunbroch to her parents, Joseph Summers and Merida Dunbroch." He said, "What is the agreement?"

Now Elsa was getting interested in this story. Truth be told, this was the part where she was getting concerned. Kelly would remain in Joseph's life. She knew obviously that Kelly would probably end up visiting every now and again (which would mean that Merida would probably come as well, which Elsa honestly wasn't looking forward too) not that she was going to complain. She did at least want to get along with Merida. She was just concerned about what Merida thought about leaving Kelly with her.

Elsa didn't want to act like a mother to Kelly or overstep her boundaries; it really wasn't her place to do so. She would be her stepmother of course, but she didn't want to impose on Merida or any of the decisions that she had made for Kelly (or Joseph, if Merida allowed that in the first place after the month that he spent with Kelly). So she would have to consult the other woman on things regarding the little girl, if and when she visited. That is if they happened to get along at any point in the future.

Elsa wasn't one to go and hate someone, but considering that the last time she had send Merida, she hated flirted with her Fiancé while she was standing right next to him., Elsa wasn't sure that she could ever trust Merida, let alone get along with her.

Joseph and Merida sat pensively as the judge looked over the file several times. They didn't want so crazy verdict or requirements for the custody of Kelly. They had explained why it would be nearly impossible to have joint custody and why Merida was reluctant to move at the moment, as well as why Joseph couldn't move. Needless to say they were worried about how they were going to proceed with Kelly's role in josephs life.

Ralph sighed before looking at the two of them. After reviewing the evidence, I will ask how do you wish to proceed?"

Elinor stood up standing as regal as possible. "Your honor… my daughter is a loving parent and has raised Kelly wonderfully. As for Mr. Summers, He has been with us for the past month. While still rusty..' she gave him a smile "he has devoted his time with us, and made sure to have a loving relationship with Kelly."

Merida smiled, happy that her mother was praising their skills as parents (even though Joseph had barely any experience in the matter), not that she saw herself as better than her own expectation, considering there really was no easy way to be a parent.

She frowned. Merida was an attractive beautiful woman, anyone could see that. the question was, did she used that to her advantage when Joseph was staying with her?

"Joseph… did she try seducing you at any point? Elsa asked.

Joseph flinched, his jaw dropping. He hadn't told her about the night that he and Merida had gotten drunk and almost had sex. Sure they didn't what so ever. Truth be told though Merida hadn't tried to seduce him while sober. Being drunk didn't count since they were both drunk at the time.

Unfortunately for him, Elsa took his response as a confirmation. Her gaze turned cold and she scowled at him, ready to slap him. Not that she wanted to. She trusted him to be able to do the right thing.

Joseph of course, tried to defuse the situation "no! She didn't I swear!" he cried. Elsa's scowl vanished, but the look of concern didn't. She still didn't believe that noting happened. She got on her knees and folded her arms across her chest, giving him a raised eyebrow.

Joseph looked up at her. She was straddling him, with folded arms, giving him one of the only looks that he couldn't resist. Only except of her puppy dogface it was her 'I demand a full answer' face. Of course he was powerless to resist her no mater what method she used on him. It was more effective than anything else in the world.

He gave a sigh. He didn't want to tell her, but it was better that he did tell her (because there was no way he wanted Merida to be the one to tell her that would just be worse in every shape in form) "we got drunk…"

"What!" Elsa screamed. Joseph told her that he didn't have sex with Merida, but then proceeds to tell her that they got drunk. "Why the hell would you get drunk with your ex?!" She screeched at him Joseph looked down. He did regret every moment of that. He just didn't want to hide it from her. He loved her too much for that.

"We were miserable… I hated being away from you. Merida was upset that I was upset. So we poured some wine… and well… her brothers found us past out on the steps, put two and two together and put us in the same bed… but we didn't have sex."

Elsa looked down at him, completely disappointed in him. Well… mostly… at least he didn't sleep with her par se. She lied down on top of him again, kissing his lips gently. "Did she kiss you?" she said seductively. She planted a kiss on his cheeks, then his eyes. "Did she touch you?' she whispered.

Joseph was surprised by Elsa's attitude., Elsa was never this… he wasn't exactly sure how to describe what she was doing. She was just getting a little bolder than he was used to.

"Elsa…" he moaned, but she just kissed him again "shhh. I'll take care of you…" she said. She began kissing his chest, before moving down his body

Joseph stared out into the distance, Merida at his side, who was holding Kelly in her arms. After a very long extensive hearing the courts had agreed with them and allowed Kelly to stay in Merida's full custody. However she would be asked to take Kelly down to Arendelle every other weekend for visit with Joseph, who would use that time o bond with Kelly, and return her to her mother on Sunday nights. Thankfully, Dunbroch wasn't a very long drive.

Joseph smiled. It was over. All the tension that he had was lifted off of his shoulders. He had visitations rights for Kelly, and a rather newfound friendship with Merida. They had found a way to simply be friends while still remaining close to one another. They would make sure to raise Kelly as best they could, even though they had to go their own separate ways.

Merida looked at him "Joseph… I'm sorry I put you through this…" she said. Joseph just glanced at her, giving her a smile. "Don't be." He turned to her placing a hand on her shoulder "Merida, I regret nothing of our time together, especially not Kelly. My only regret is our time apart. I wasn't there for you; I know that you didn't want me, not after everything I had done. But if I had been there, I would have held on to you both so tightly and never let go. Even now, years later, I won't let you go. Not like that. that's a promise." He told her.

Merida's eyes widened before filling with nothing but absolute love and admiration. She smiled, before grabbing Joseph by his collar and pulled him in kissing his lips. Joseph gently moved his lips in tandem before pulling away. He would have been upset, but honestly there was no point to it anymore. He shook his head chuckling "good bye Merida." he said. He then pecked Kelly's cheek. "Ill see you soon baby girl."

With one last smile, he left the courthouse, ready to return home to Arendelle. To the love of his life. To Elsa.

After another passionate round, courtesy of Elsa being a little bolder than usual, they two lay in bed panting even more heavily than before. Joseph was honestly surprised by Elsa's attitude. Usually she was crazy in bed, but he would never have come to expect this from her.

"Wow Elsa… that was new… did you pick up a few things while I was gone?" he asked, a large smile on his face. Elsa smiled, tracing circles on his chest "what can I say? I missed you." she said giggling. She batted he eyelashes at him,

Joseph chuckled, before grabbing Elsa and kissing her softly "oh Elsa, I've missed you so much." He said. He ran his hands down her sides, eliciting another moan as she laid her hands on his chest.

"I've missed you too." Elsa said, kissing him back. She had missed this between them. Simply lying in each other's arms. She melted in his embrace holding him close. Joseph smiled, before pulling Elsa on top of him. Elsa smiled, gently kissing his lips, before taking his hand and holding it tightly.

"Good night" she whispered in his ear.

The two just lied there in each other's arms listening to the sound of the others breathing. Not long later the two fell asleep, ready to face the new day together.

Hope you enjoy that! anyone catch the wreck it Ralph reference? I was going to add something else, but I will save it for the next chapter. Hopefully, we will reach the wedding soon! But who says everyone is going to agree with Joseph and Elsa at this point?

'What? Really, after all that more drama?' you say? yep, there is just one little thing left before the end. See you next time.
