The labors never got easier, Jack decided. If anything, her third was worst than all the others. Like the previous two, he woke Gavner up by tapping on the window and the two shared some good ale together before he returned. He needed to be a little numbed to handle Elsa breaking his hands.

"There's something different." She said when he was let in, "I can feel it in my body."

"Maybe it will be a cat." Jack said with a laugh and Elsa glared at him.

"No, Jack."

Jack edged around to see the head, and a little part of his heart plummeted. "I think I know...the hair isn't white." He murmured.

"So?" Elsa was tired of keeping optimistic that the hair wasn't the give-away, but at this point it seemed too reasonable to not believe it, "I can handle a normal child, Jack." But even as she spoke, she was fearful. Jack understood.

They never had to worry about their children getting cold or forgetting to call them in when they played outside. They didn't fret if the icicle would hurt them, or if the ice would be too slippery. Growing up with all they ever knew to be snow and ice must have been similar to how Elsa's parents felt when she was born.

He also worried about her feeling left out. Sure, she had Alfsol and Eloise but those were cousins, not siblings. Would her two older siblings leave his newest daughter out of their games because she wasn't like them, he thought as he looked at her. Just when he thought parenthood was easy...

"She looks like Anna." Elsa said with a smile. Anna had been coming around a lot more, and Elsa grinned whenever her sister was back with her. She now knew that both Kristoff and Anna could see her husband, but there was still an ever-present gaping something that she couldn't seem to fix between the two of them.

"Same hair, same eyes." Jack agreed. Elsa called over a maid.

"Can you go and find Anna?" She asked, and the maid dipped her head in submission.

"What are you doing?" Jack asked after they were alone, nuzzling his nose into her neck. Elsa leaned in, turning to kiss his nose.

"I want my sister back." She replied simply, and Jack didn't understand. Anna appeared a moment later, and saw the swaddled baby.

"It doesn't have white hair...is it not..." She began hesitantly.

"I believe so." Elsa said simply. Anna chuckled, sitting down.

"Oh, Elsa. Now you have to deal with normal child problems." She said jokingly, words that at a time before may have been said sarcastically.

"Yes, I don't know how you manage." Elsa agreed, "Do you want to hold her?" She asked.

"Of course." Anna smiled, and Jack handed her over. Anna's eyes still buzzed a bit around Jack, and she gave a noise like she just couldn't believe what she was looking at, but she was civil- and that was very much appreciated.

"She looks like you." Elsa leaned over and uncovered her face, "Which is why I want you to be her godmother." She said.

"Elsa, we haven't done those sorts of things in forever." Anna laughed a bit, "My children don't have any godparents."

"I know. But I...I don't know what it's going to be like raising a child without powers like you don't know what it's like raising one with them. So...I need you Anna. I need you to be the other mother in her life that understands her in a way I can't." Jack thought Elsa was supremely mature in this moment, and kissed her shoulder in a silent agreement.

Anna's eyes glistened with tears.

"Elsa, I've missed you around." She admitted. And Jack understood in that moment; the bridge that once stretched over seas was gone. Elsa had a sister again.
HI! Just so everyone knows, last chapter was the longest chapter by ONE WORD. Whoot :) Anywho, onto this chapter. More behbies.

YAY! Everything is fixed and all is good with the sisters. They aren't mad at each other (it only took half a decade...lol).

And a new Frost child is born. Here's her name stuffies:

Eira (Eye-Rah): In Welsh, it means snow. In greek it means help or mercy. Eira is the Welsh word for snow, and its pronunciation is akin to OY-rah.

Eira (EYE rah) is also a Scandinavian place name, from the Norse Goddess Eir, the Goddess of medecine and healing. By Norse tradition, only women practiced the healing arts.
Eira is a district in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

I imagine Eira being like Anna's little doppleganger. And I don't know, her name reminded me of Anna.

Rant: Ugg. Okay, bad grammar and lack of a spell check. I like reading other Fanfictions here on devArt, especially the ones that show up in the jelsa community I post these to, and one I read yesterday was okay, but so horribly filled with grammical errors and a general lack of knowledge of spelling, it was really distracting, as I'm sure many would agree with. The author replied to all of the comments, but hide mine because she was mad that I said that while it was very good and sweet and short, the person really needed to spell check and all because it would be so much better and I found all the mistakes distracting. SHE JUST DELETED MY COMMENT. Really people, if you're too immature to not check for big grammar errors (I understand the occasional one missed or whatever) and too childish to admit that you have this problem, then you shouldn't be writing and posting your stuff. Period. I'm dead serious. I'm so pissed off right now. Rant done.
