This chapter was going to be the wedding, but there was more to be done. Thank you Jacob Flores for giving me your suggestion. I don't know how many more chapters there are left, but i know that this will be ending soon.

Enjoy.

Four months later, Elsa and Joseph just couldn't be any happier. Elsa had done most of the planning along with Anna (Joseph and Kristoff had helped when they could, but they really didn't know much about what they were doing) and the only thing left was to book it, pay for it and (just to be cute for it) go through with the wedding all together. Not that Elsa was concerned. Oh no, she had passed being concerned roughly after the night Joseph returned from Merida's. No, rather than be concerned, Elsa was positively freaking out. The wedding was only a month away and she was nervous, almost jittery to the point where she felt that at any moment she was going to spontaneously combust into absolute nothingness. It didn't help that she was currently standing in front of a mirror, wearing what would be her wedding dress. She looked gorgeous, ethereal even. The dress was pure white, smooth and silky, with snowflake patterns lining the edges of the dress.

Elsa looked every bit of the angel that everyone believe her to be.

With her were Anna, Rapunzel and Merida (Kelly was with Maudie out and about t a pet store so as to not cause chaos in a store, which she was known to do every other time she went into a store). Yep you heard right Merida was with her, helping her pick out her wedding dress (well technically she already did, since the dress was specifically tailor made for her, courtesy of her friends). Not long after the first few visits, Merida and Elsa mended the fences and actually became very good friends, rarely ever fighting (least over Joseph, who was pretty thunderstruck to see the two get along.) the two managed to talk about quite a lot of things, whether it be interests, likes dislikes or (much to Josephs embarrassment) Joseph himself. They kept the romantics to a minimum, since Elsa didn't want Merida to be uncomfortable, but Merida being Merida never passed up an opportunity to cause an awkward situation by mention things that Joseph liked in bed to Elsa. While Elsa normally wouldn't mind this, she had to wonder why Merida liked causing her embarrassment.

Elsa never would have guessed that Merida was like that, but she supposed that it was better than constantly arguing with the other woman, like they had in the past. Elsa wasn't one to hold grudges anyway, so why should she start doing so now?

Merida had actually moved away from her parent back in her hometown and moved closer to Arendelle, sending Kelly to a newer daycare center that specialized in children her age. It was close enough to still visit her parents, but not so far from Arendelle either. She claimed it was because she didn't want to feel like a distraction or in Elsa's case a threat. Not that Elsa saw her as one, anyway.

Elsa smiled happy that things had changed.

A knock on the door startled Joseph and Elsa, until they realized what had happened. it was Merida's first visit after she moved to be closer to Joseph. Elsa hadn't been terribly excited over the situation, but she supposed she could live with it, considering that on a technical note, she had won the little nonexistent contest that had been going on between herself and Merida.

Joseph stood up a smile on his face as he walked to the door and opened it, letting out an "oomph!" of surprise as Kelly jumped and him tackling him in the stomach. He wrapped his arms around the little girl, picking her up and flinging her into the air. Kelly squealed as he caught her, before he deposited her on the ground, allowing her to walk into the room, Merida behind her.

Kelly walked into the living room, where she saw Elsa deposited on the couch. Quickly, Kelly tottered over to the angel, as she liked to think of her 'auntie Elsa' and quickly climbed up on to the couch beside her, before wrapping her arms around Elsa's waist. Elsa gave a smile wrapping the girl with her arms. "Nice to see you Kelly!" she said to the girl.

Kelly looked at Elsa giving her a smile "nice to see you to, auntie Elsa" she said happily.

Auntie Elsa. Elsa would never have imagined being called that. Well not until Anna had a child that was old enough to talk (which hopefully wouldn't be for another few years, or at least a few months.). But Kelly calling her that made her heart melts. She pated the girls shoulder "would you like some chocolate? She asked. Kelly nodded vigorously. Joseph had told her that Kelly could have chocolate. It was just she could have a sugar rush if she ended up having to much of it (which was no doubt true because of experience, considering her Fiancé had spent a month with the child). So Elsa went to the kitchen and took out a Hershey kiss out giving it to the young girl. Kelly thanked her and popped the little piece of chocolate in her mouth., before going to the couch. Olaf, who had been in the corner of the room, trotted over to her, before leaping on the couch and sitting beside her. Kelly's eyes widened and she began to pet the little kitten, who was pleased by the attention.

Elsa grinned at the sight. Her soon to be stepdaughter was wonderful. Merida had raised a polite young girl and probably couldn't be anymore prouder than she already was. Speaking of Merida… Elsa returned to the living room, where Joseph and Merida were seated at the table where Elsa and Joseph usually had their meals. They seemed to be having a deep conversation about Kelly; which made sense since she was their daughter after all. She pulled a chair out and sat down. While Elsa didn't particularly think she should at all interrupt the conversation (because she didn't want to impose on Merida's parenting, at least without her permission.), she might as well be a part of it while Olaf kept Kelly busy.

To her surprise Merida turned to her with a very large smile on her face. Now that was probably the most surprising thing off all. She had half expected Merida to be withdrawn from her, given that the last time they had seen each other, Merida had been trying to seduce Joseph over to her side. But then again she had apologized to her and all that. So Elsa wasn't trying to be too suspicious. "Good morning, Elsa. I'm sorry we came on such sort notice." Merida said

Elsa almost did a double take, not sure whether or not she should even try to take that seriously. She was still trying to figure out how to talk to Merida without coming across and suspicious. She settled for giving the other woman a smile and shook her head '"its no trouble Merida!" she said "its always a welcome to have you and Kelly here. We could use a little more excitement than we're used to… insist that right Joseph?" she asked, turning to look at her Fiancée. Joseph nodded "sounds good to me." He said with a grin.

Merida gave a laugh "yeah… your right… Kelly is very excitable as it is." She said looking at the little girl who was still playing with Olaf on the couch nearby.

That had been the first visit that Merida had shown up at. After the next few visits any animosity that Elsa thought she would have, was pretty much gone forever and she could honestly say that she was happy to have Merida as a friend in her life. She had honestly been afraid though that Merida would look too much into her relationship with Joseph but she honestly never asked too much (except to ask how he was doing when they happened to be alone. Elsa was grateful that Merida seemed to have finally given up her pursuit of Joseph. She did ask whether or not she found someone but Merida said that while she had only wanted Joseph in her life because he was Kelly's father, she felt looking for a man that was not worth it because, even if he did accept the fact that Merida was a mother and would want to raise Kelly, it would be to distracting trying to find such a man.

To that Elsa could understand Merida's reasons. Plus because of the time they had spent together, Merida offered several tips about raising children to Elsa; she would be able to help if needed as well. Elsa didn't want to depend on Merida too much though; she wanted to be able to raise her child while standing on her own two feet, only asking for assistance when needed, just like Merida had. Though Merida had it worse since she was pretty much a single mother. Elsa smiled. Motherhood was certain to be quite the change in her life. But she was more than willing to accept it when the time came.

Elsa did a twirl, admiring the dress that her friends had made and paid for, she looked absolutely stunning. She couldn't wait until Joseph saw her in it (he was busy getting his tuxedo of course. A weddings work was never done no matter what could be done about it. At least until after the reception, anyway). After a few moments, Elsa returned to the main room where the other were waiting for her. Anna squealed when she saw Elsa in her wedding dress, barely able to contain her excitement. There was Elsa all dressed in white, you might as well thought Anna was going to start singing 'here comes the bride all dressed in white'. Thankfully though she didn't.

Rapunzel's reaction was a little more subdued. She had a huge smile on her face and clapped lightly, but her body was shaking like mad; she seemed to be as excited as Anna was, but was trying her best not to lose it.

As for Merida, she had a very large grin on her face and unlike Elsa's other bride maids (Anna was her maid of honor of course) she just calmly stated, "you look wonderful Elsa. Joseph is going to be so proud when he sees you." There was no sarcastic quip, no jealously or anger. Her voice was wholly sincere. Merida was happy that her newfound friend was excited to be wearing her wedding dress.

Elsa smiled there was nothing that could be better than this moment. After everyone agreed that her dress was perfect, she had it boxed up and the four of them left the store. Elsa was going to be sure to thank Merida for showing her the place where she had her wedding dress made. In fact it was one of her dad's friend's son's wife who had run the place. Knowing Merida, Elsa figured that Merida had threaten them (the friend, not the wife) considering how much she disliked her friends (something about Elinor setting them up when they were younger; point was it didn't work out)

Not that Elsa was complaining of course. Everything was falling perfectly into place. Except for one minor problem that was bugging Elsa. Kai and Gerda. The two hadn't called Elsa in the past few month, probably because of the fact that Elsa had unceremoniously threw them out of the apartment when they attempted to talk her out of waiting for Joseph while he was with Merida. She hadn't made any attempt either, because of that. She knew that while Josephs parents might not make it to the wedding (he had explained they were on a cruise that would go around the world) Kai and Gerda no reason not to come (other than not being sure if they were invited; which they were.) in all honesty, she wanted them to come, but she wanted them to cone without any sort of regrets are bias. Joseph had proven his worth. They needed to accept him. She had already decided that if they didn't then they didn't need to be apart of her life. It was sort of like that already (but truth be told, she would honestly not want that to happen because it would just be completely unfair.)

But of course they had made that choice. Even worse she couldn't believe that Josephs own parents would rather be on a cruise rather than visit their son and attend his wedding. When he talked to them he seemed rather upset about it (though she couldn't imagine that he wouldn't have been)

Either way, Elsa was hoping that the wedding would go very well, no matter what happened. After everything that she and Joseph had been through throughout the process of the engagement (though she had mostly put everything that Merida had put her through behind her, for the most part), she wanted everything to be perfect. Didn't she deserve that much at least? She never really asked for that much anyway. The one thing that she could count on however was her sister and cousin though. They had helped her immensely in the past few months (though Elsa had been trying her best to rein them in before they got to ambitious; she was thankful that Kai and Gerda taught her that much during the course of her life)

The four girls had gone through many of the ideas that Elsa wanted for her wedding with agreements from Joseph here and there (and some of the ideas that he had come up with.) they just still had to pay for most of it, since they hadn't exactly managed to get the supplies (they had been too busy planning it and getting the tuxedo and dresses and sending the invitations. Not that there were many to begin with since Elsa only wanted it to be a small wedding)

Elsa was proud of all that she had done; it just didn't feel complete.

As they walked back to the cars, Elsa felt her phone buzz. She grabbed her phone from her pocket. Her eyes widened. According to the caller ID, it was Kai. Why would he be calling her now? After everything that had happened? She wasn't sure whether to be angry or happy (granted, if Kai and Gerda were intending to apologize after everything they had done in the past few months then Elsa was going to be more than willing to forgive them. she just didn't expect that to happen anytime soon, given that they had been against the idea of her getting married so soon since day one. Could she forgive them though? What if after they were married, Kai and Gerda were the ones to push Elsa away? It would be the exact same situation sure, but the idea of them abandoning her after they had promised Elsa that would never be the case (since they had promised her parents after all).

With a sigh, Elsa opened her phone, letting out a tired "hello Kai". It was taking every ounce of her will not to be angry at the moment, because she still hadn't forgiven them for what they had done to her during their last visit (even though that had been during the worst possible time at that stage in Elsa's life.) There was a moment of silence as if Kai wasn't sure what to say (which might have been true)

"Elsa…" Kai said, "how are you?" he asked, trying to ease his way into the conversation. Well they both had to start somewhere. It wasn't like Elsa or Kai for that matter were going to be exactly the same as they were over a half a year ago. it was going to be a long road.

Elsa looked at her friends, who noticed that she had stopped. She motioned for them to go on without her; she would be along in a moment "I'm fine Kai… I just tried on my wedding dress." she wasn't sure that she should have told him that, but he did have some right to know; that is if he accepted the invitation to come to her wedding next month.

Kai sighed on the other end of the line "your wedding dress…" he breathed. Elsa bit her lip. Kai and Gerda still couldn't believe that she was all grown up for one. Sometimes she wondered if they still saw her and Anna as the little girls that they helped raise. It really wouldn't have surprised her all too much. They were very overprotective. But they had to get over it. She wasn't a little girl any more. She was going to get married and have children. Did Kai and Gerda even want grandchildren? Sure, Anna could do the same, but that would just end up being biased and such if they only allowed Anna to have children (not that Kai and Gerda had any choice in the matter; Anna and Kristoff were going to have children when they were ready no matter what.)

"Yes Kai, my wedding dress. I'm getting married next month. You did get my invitation didn't you?" This time Elsa was not able to hide the bitterness that laced her voice. She had sent out the invitation out not long after she and Joseph finished planning the wedding. She had received word from all of her guests except Kai and Gerda. (They hadn't sent out any invitations to his parents since they knew they were out on a vacation)

"I know… which is why Gerda and I are offering to pay for it dear. We wanted to apologize for everything. We were just worried sweetheart."

Elsa knew that, but that was no excuse for the way they had acted. But she was shocked as well, by the rest of his words. Kai wanted to pay for it? "Why would you want to do that?" she asked. Kai sighed "Elsa… think of it as an apology. Will you accept it?

Elsa sighed. Could she accept it? She did want them at her wedding. After a moment she said, "Kai if your serious… please come over and we will discuss the details."

Kai let out a sigh. "I'll see you soon" he said before hanging up.

Elsa stared at the phone before sighing and returning it to her pocket. There would be a lot to talk about. But for now, she caught up with the others (who were waiting for her) and they retuned to their cars, getting ready for the next stop.

Well Kai and Gerda seem ok now… they will be helping out now!
