Chapter 9

A. N. Don't hate me. I am struggling with some writers block. I'm creating this on my phone and typos are inevitable. And I don't have a beta. This is all from my head. I'm sensitive to negative criticism, so if you don't think you'll like this, then don't read it. I don't have anything. Please don't sue me. Copyright infringement isn't intended. I just want to make some happiness for fictional characters!

This song references All Is Found from Frozen 2. Listen! If I wrote that song, would I be writing fan fiction? Ummm no. That's Kristen Allen Lopez and Robert Lopez (thanks for the info Wikipedia). So all credit due to them for this song. Please don't sue me. I'm playing in the Frozen and OUAT world. And just want some happiness for these fictional characters.

Liam knew that this realm's clothing was different but this was the first time that he'd seen anyone in a bathing suit. And while Killian insisted that Emma's two piece suit wasn't provocative, Liam's attention was continuously drawn to Elsa. Her one piece teal blue suit clung to her as a second skin. Skin that he longed to see more of.

The group sailed to the cove that Killian and Emma discovered on a previous outing. They were just far enough away from Storybrooke. Everyone enjoyed jumping off of the Jolly's railing into the warm water.

Liam treaded water as he watched Elsa climb onto the railing. They locked eyes and Elsa grinned just before she jumped in. She surfaced with a smile as well. The water was deep but not so deep that the sun didn't warm it.

Liam loved how the water slicked back Elsa's hair, darkening it slightly. She smiled to him and splashed him playfully. His smirking-smile was her only warning as he lunged toward her and a water fight ensued. They could hear the laughter of the other couples, and a quick glance showed that everyone was engaged in similar "fights."

Elsa's laughter died in her throat as she realized how close the two of them were. She slid her arms up Liam's chest to loosely wrap them around his neck. The invitation was clear and he leaned down to kiss her. Treading water and kissing was slightly difficult and Liam ended the kiss much sooner than he'd like. He leaned his forehead against Elsa's. Even with her eyes closed, Elsa knew Liam was smiling and she had a smile to match.

The rest of the day was more of the same, swimming, playing, and relaxing. Anna had been so happy that her newfound powers were restrained. After their dinner, Liam came up from the galley and found Emma and Elsa whispering. As he approached, he heard Emma say, "Just think about it."

"Think about what?" Liam inquired as Emma walked away.

"Something Emma suggested I try while in this realm," Elsa replied. Liam noticed the deepening blush staining her cheeks but said nothing, deciding to lean in and kiss her sweetly.

Boom! Boom!

"Blue!" The group collectively shouted out! "A boy!" several others shouted as well.

Snow hugged Anna telling her that their sons would surely be best friends. Kristof was being hugged and patted on the back. Anna likewise was being hugged as everyone seemed to be smiling and shedding tears of joy.

The group continued to laugh and talk but all were feeling tired. The fireworks had been the conclusion to a relaxing day on the Jolly Roger.

Liam was reluctant to share the bedroom but Elsa kept insisting. And he felt cornered now that he was sat on the bed with Elsa astride him. She'd practically jumped into his arms when he entered the room; he caught her and barely righted himself only to sit on the bed with this goddess in his lap.

"You said that we'd behave," Liam half-heartedly complained.

"I also said I wanted to explore where this is going," Elsa countered. They'd kept their heads tilted toward each other durning this brief interlude, punctuating every few words with kisses.

I don't want our first time to be a quick fuck!" Liam whispered his protest. "And as much as I love this ship, I don't want our first time to be within hearing distance of my brother and your sister!… And I don't have any condoms onboard." He pulled back from her and sighed.

"I know you're right," Elsa said and attempted to stifle a yawn.

With a chuckle, Liam said, "That's not an ego boost, love," Liam said and Elsa swatted his arm.

"Hey! You started me day with rum. And sailing. And swimming! Of course I'm going to be tired!"

"We'll I have a solution," Liam gently pushed Elsa off of his lap stood and turned back to the bed. He drew back the covers and gestured for Elsa. She slid under the covers. Liam snuffed out the light and slid into bed. Elsa was favoring him and he cradled her. Placing a gentle kiss on her lips, he whispered, "Sleep."

He wasn't prepared for Elsa's next question. "Liam?"

"Hmm?"

"What was that you mentioned? What are condoms?"

"Dammit!" Liam whispered. His cock immediately responding to questions that might lead to sex.

"What?"

"O-okay." He paused to gather his thoughts. "In my realm, pregnancy was prevented with abstinence. Or some women took potions but they had to take them daily and they were costly-"

"Same in my world," Elsa remarked.

"Or there was- coitus interruptus."

"Coi- oh-oh!" Elsa's breath caught as she remembered an overheard conversation. "And that's not always effective, right?"

"How did you-"

"I overheard a couple of my maids talking once."

They fell into a comfortable silence again. "You were telling me about pregnancy prevention," Elsa asked again.

"Right," Liam sighed heavily. "Here there are other birth control methods, and one of them is condoms. They're-" he paused. "Like a sheath. For my sword." But with the word sword he pushed his hips forward so Elsa could feel his manhood.

"O-oh." She paused to think. "Oh! What does it feel like?"

"Condoms? I don't know. I haven't been with anyone on this realm. But I've seen them at the market, read the instructions on the packaging…."

Elsa stifled a giggle, "that's very forward thinking of you."

"The last thing I want is to burden you with a child you don't want," Liam whispered kissing her softly. "So since nothing is happening tonight-we should go to sleep."

"Emma suggested other birth control methods. That's what she and I were talking about today." Liam groaned and rolled his head deeper into the pillow.

"Elsa?!"

"There's a spell," Elsa whispered.

"Stop talking…" Liam groaned as he kissed her sweetly.

Liam became aware of his surroundings, an ice cave. He saw the intricate carvings in the walls. They were in various sizes but the same four symbols. Belatedly he heard singing.

… the north wind meets the sea

There's a river full of memory

Liam's feet carried him forward. He touched one of the cave walls for purchase as he went forward.

Sleep, … safe and sound

For in this river all is found

One of the symbols glowed brighter. The water drop with the diamond shape glowed blue so bright that he couldn't see the other symbols.

….waters, deep and true

Lie the answers and a path for you

Liam followed the patterned drops

Dive down deep into her sound

But not too far or you'll be drowned

The hall had opened up into a large ice cavern. The symbols he followed had stopped. He dared not approach closer. He saw Elsa standing centered between large glowing symbols on the icy floor. But a snowflake was encompassing the symbols. The cavern was alight with colors. Liam recognized some of the memories Elsa had told him she'd experienced. He saw her face glowing with happiness and his heart beat quicker with his own joy for her.

Where the north wind meets the sea

There's a mother full of memory

Come, my darling, ….

He saw Elsa press her hands to her face in shock and happiness, "Mother!"

"homeward bound— I am found!"

As he watched spellbound Elsa's magic grew and strengthened. The fog encircled him but he wasn't afraid. He was expecting to see more of Elsa's memories. But in a blink, he was in David and Mary Margaret's loft apartment.

" A book doesn't just disappear," Emma was saying.

" but, it can appear," Mary Margret replied. Liam watched as the group of people searched, it was Mary Margaret successful in finding the book in question.

Liam felt like an outsider watching this. But that changed when Mary Margaret carried the book over to him, and placed it in his hands. Looking up at him, he startled, he was no longer looking at Mary Margaret's face. It was the face of Elsas mother! "My daughter needs this!" She said passionately.

-x-

"Elsa!" Liam gasped her name as he startled awake. Elsa too had woken up. She rolled over to face him, the two of them in sync. The light coming though their porthole was the silvery light of the moon.

"Liam? What is it?"

"The book you need!" He felt her tense. "It's here on this ship!"
