Alright I have two more days off this week before I have no more time so I will stop lounging about and get this chapter up lol. DarkTempest I will add the scene for chapter 3 for you, I am working on it, I just want it to fit right and set the right tone you were hoping for so please don't think I'm ignoring you with that. I promise it will be added, hopefully soon. Until then here is the new chapter. As always I do not own any of these characters.
Today was the day, it was finally Anna's birthday. It was early morning, well early morning for Anna to be up and about, and a ship was boarded at the docks. Kristoff had finally made it back to Arrendelle to surprise Anna. He hauled his belongings off and spotted his snowy haired friend waiting for him. Jack smiled and shouted, "Hey Kristoff! Good to see you old buddy!" Kristoff smiled and dropped his stuff once they were within reaching distances. He hauled Jack into a bro hug and patted his back, "It's good to see you too Jack. How are Elsa and Anna doing?"
Jack helped him with his things, "They are doing very good. Anna has just gotten more beautiful everyday. I am sure you will be surprised at how she looks." giving him a sly smirk. Kristoff play shoved him, "Well I guess I will just have to wait and see her at the party. What is new with Elsa?" Jack shrugged, "Well considering I have just been put in my place with her, she's doing good. Though she is still having nightmares about you know who." Kristoff nodded knowing fully well what he meant, "I do feel so sorry that she is still haunted by him. Though with everything he put her through, with being raped by him and used against her family during battle, it's no wonder." Jack sighed and Kristoff raised an eyebrow about his first initial comment, "And just what were you put in your place for? What were you up to Jack?" he questioned him.
Jack ran his fingers through his hair, "Well, she said that we needed to slow down with our desires. That we must try to not make love since her parents are around." acting embarrassed now. Kristoff felt his eyes widen, "Jack! You never told me you two were intimate. You better hope North doesn't find out." Jack snorted, "Yeah no kidding. Now come on, let's get you inside before Anna decides to actually wake up early for once." They both continued to head back towards the castle.
Inside, Katya was busy putting up decorations with North. She was dressed in a cream yellow dress with elbow length sleeves with light tan ruffles at the end. She wore her gold crown with a blue jewel, a necklace, and blue earrings to match. Her hair was in a bun with ringlets framing her face. She smiled at what they have managed to accomplish, "Well, Elsa and I are going to go wake up Anna now. You go and finish up the decorations with Jack and Kristoff." noticing the two young men coming through the gates. North glanced in the same direction and nodded, "Alright Katya. I will see you later then." Katya got down off her spot and kissed him, "Don't worry, everything is going to be perfect." as she wandered off.
She met up with Elsa on her way to Anna's room. Elsa was dressed in a light blue dress with off the shoulder straps and blue swirled designs on the hem of her skirt resembling snow. Her hair was in her braid and around her neck was the necklace Jack had given her. She followed her mother to her sisters room. They both quietly opened the door seeing if she was awake yet, she wasn't. The sun shown through her window. It encircled Anna, giving her a halo. She was sleeping peacefully, her reddish hair flowed behind her enhancing her beauty.
The night sleep had really changed how she looked as she aged. Katya and Elsa tiptoed into the room completely and were at her side. Katya spoke in a quiet tone, "Psst, Anna. It's time to wake up." Anna groaned, "Mmm." Elsa giggled then she spoke, "Anna, it's your birthday." Anna's blue-green eyes soon opened, "It's my birthday." she said happily. Katya smiled, "Yes darling, now lets get you ready. We mustn't keep your father waiting." hauling Anna up out of her bed. Anna's pale purple nightgown flowed around her as Katya sat her down in front of her vanity. Katya smiled at their reflection in the mirror, "Anna you have grown up so beautifully. Your freckles hardly show anymore."
Anna glanced in the mirror, her mother was right, she did look more beautiful. Her hair shined, her eyes glowed, and her body changed to a more womanly figure. She couldn't help but notice that even her breasts had grown more, and her facial features made her look like she was eighteen. Elsa stood beside them, "I cannot believe how much you've changed Anna. It's hard to think my baby sister is growing up." as she combed her hair. Katya had gone to pull out a lilac purple and light green dress with off the shoulder, purple straps. The lining was light green across the bodice and belt. There were green, purple, and pink floral swirl designs along the skirt.
Katya helped Anna get into the dress and laced up the back tightly, but comfortable to breath in. Anna smiled, "I do love this dress mom." Katya smiled in return, "I am glad you do. Purple and green look great on you." Elsa finished helping Anna curl her hair into and up/down style. She moved her bangs to swish across her forehead to frame her face. Katay returned and placed a tiara with flowers on it into her hair. Anna added a final touch with putting the necklace she had received from Kristoff. She really missed him and wished he was here.
Katya sighed with content, "There, all finished. I hope you are ready for today." Anna nodded, "Yes mom, I am. Also, I think I want to act more mature since I am going to be eighteen next year." Elsa and Katya were surprised with her statement, Elsa smirked, "Wow, what happened to my sister?" Anna shrugged proudly, "I guess she's matured a bit." Katya chuckled, "Alright you two, let's get going." as the three of them went down stairs.
North was doing as instructed, but Narcissa soon aided him and helped hanging up the streamers. She was all dressed up in a light green dress with elbow length sleeves. The skirt and bodice had light purple designs on it forming diamond patterns. She glanced down when she heard a familiar voice, "That looks very good Narcissa." She smiled down at Jack, "Thank you Jack. I think this is how Katya wanted it to look. North, I think Katya said she wanted the flowers on the tables." as she helped guide North some more. North corrected himself and chuckled, "Thank you my dear." Narcissa smiled, shaking her head when she noticed Elsa giving them signal.
She glanced climbed down the ladder, "Jack, you need to get Kristoff somewhere where Anna won't know. She's on her way down now." Jack nodded and yanked Kristoff by the shirt, "Alright then. Come on Kristoff, you're going to have to wait to see your princess a little longer." as he dragged him to a place he knew Anna wouldn't look: Bunny's place.
The days seemed to be dragging, especially for Tooth. She had been feeling a bit stressed since their return home last night and Bunny knew. He glanced over at her, "Tooth my love, you are going to be just fine. We will just spend a few minutes at the party, then we can come home." trying anything to cheer her up. Tooth was weating a rose pink elbow length dress. Her skirt had yellow and purple floral designs. She glanced over at him, "I know Aster, it's just my emotions being so high, I am just so exhausted every day. I'm tired of being pregnant and waddling." feeling upset again.
Bunny sighed and just hugged her from behind, holding her to him, "Baby will be coming very soon. No more worrying my love." as he comforted her. A knock was heard at the door and he went to open it. He heard Jack on the other side and groaned, "Hey Bunny, we need to hide Kristoff for a bit before we surprise Anna." Bunny sighed and opened the door, "Alright Jack, bring him in." They both entered and Kristoff noticed Tooth, "Hey Tooth, how are you doing." Bunny shook his head, he didn't want Tooth upset again.
Tooth took a deep breath, "I'm fine." she stated. Jack smiled, "Well as much as I would love to stay, I have a princess to be with." as he walked out. Bunny shut the door, "Well mate, take a seat. Need anything?" Kristoff smiled and sat down, "Thank you. And I wouldn't mind some water. I haven't had a much of a chance to do much since I arrived." Bunny chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll grab you a mug of something better. Hang tight." as he walked into the kitchen. He spotted Tooth, "I do apologize for the rude drop in. Please just relax and act as if I am not here." Tooth smiled, "It's fine, though I will sit down. My feet are killing me." as she dropped onto the bigger couch. Kristoff smiled, "You know, I've been known to give a good foot rub, if you're ok with that."
Tooth thought a moment and shrugged, "If you want, I wouldn't oppose." Kristoff chuckled and knelt down in front of her and removed her shoes. His strong hands began to work wonders on her feet. Tooth couldn't help but sigh in relief as the pressure began to subside and her body sank into the chair. Bunny returned, "Here you are, this ought to help you relax mo-what on earth?" Tooth held her finger up, "It's all good Aster." as if she was in another world. Bunny sighed and shook his head setting the mug down, "Kristoff, whatever you're doing, keep it going. I haven't seen her this calm in weeks." Kristoff chuckled, "You got it."
Jack quickly made his way back to the castle the moment he left Kristoff. He spotted Elsa with her sister and couldn't wait for his time to ask her something important. First though he had to to find North. He entered in the ballroom where North was still at work with Narcissa and the decorations. He approached, "north, may we talk alone for a moment?" North glanced at him and nodded, "Sure Jack." as he lead them into the throne room. North sat down in his chair, "What's on your mind Jack? Is everything alright?" Jack nodded, "Yeah, everything is fine North. It's just that I have something important I want to ask you." feeling nervous now.
North chuckled, "What is it Jack?" waiting patiently for Jack to speak. Jack sighed, "I wish to have Elsa's hand in marriage. It would be a great honor if you would allow her to be my wife." as he awaited the response. North sat there and thought it over, Jack spoke again, "It's alright if you don't want to. I know that you don't want to lose your daughter again. Just I love Elsa with all my heart and would love to spend the rest of my life with her by my side." he finished. North had to admit this was hard and had been dreading this moment, but he knew how much Jack loved his daughter. How he spoke about her, how he protects her, he couldn't deny that.
Jack felt the tension in the silence until North spoke, but he didn't hear, he glanced up, "What?" North chuckled, "Yes Jack. You may have Elsa's hand in marriage. You are just the man to suit her and will respect her." as he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Jack stood there with a shock/happy expression on his face. He couldn't believe it, North said he could have Elsa as his wife. Jack pulled the ring box from his pocket and showed it to him. It was a silver band with teardrop sapphire stone and small diamonds around it. The band was shaped in infinity symbols.
North nodded in approval, "Quite a beautiful ring there Jack. She will most definitely love it." admiring it. He remembered when he had picked out Katya's ring. Jack had closed the box and put it back in his pocket, "Just don't say anything to anyone about this yet. I know if Anna finds out, the secret will be out to everyone in the kingdom." North laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't. Now why don't we go and meet up with the rest." Jack smiled and they both went out and meet up with the ladies.
