Forever and Always

Small bites

~Jack and Elsa~
Jack stirred in his sleep as the sound of cries echoed into his ears. He rolled over and stuffed the pillow over his head. Whoever's baby that was needed to go back to sleep. It was three am and he was exhausted from watching the boys all day. Wait. The boys. The baby. Oh god.

He rolled back over and realized he wasn't at his apartment. Oh god, he was at Rap and Eugene's house. That wasn't some nightmare of him having to watch the children with Elsa. He quickly tossed his blankets off him and jumped off the couch. He sprinted back to the office. "Rosie?"

The crying subdued as she heard her name. She was breathing heavily, tired from screaming her lungs out. "It's okay." Jack smiled as he popped out above her. Her face contorted as she let out another cry. She didn't want him! She wanted her one of her parents. He picked the baby and she sobbed in his arms.

Jack looked around the room, unsure what to do with this thing. He unevenly shook her, making her cries sound awkward. As he twirled around, he spotted the rocking chair. He took a quick seat in it, hoping to rock her to sleep. Rosie calmed down, but was still lightly whining.

What else did Rap say to do? Jack looked out the window, trying to think of the last instruction to get her to fall asleep. As he rocked her, he hit a toy, making it began to sing. "Shhh!" He quietly scolded at the doll as it laid on the floor, let out it noise. Rosie quieted down as she listened to the noise. She began to shut her eyes, liking the music.

Jack softly chuckled, surprised that that worked. He hoped the boys were sleeping well, undisturbed from their little sister. Her cries were loud so hopefully they were heavy sleepers. But little did Jack know, one of them had woken up long before Rosie.

Zach softly snored into Elsa's ear. He had complained about not being able to sleep so Elsa let him sleep with her. He was little and scared. The least she could do was let him sleep with her. Almost immediately after he pulled the covers over his tiny body, he fell asleep.

~Anna and Kristoff~
"Elsa is totally going to flip out today. I just know it." Anna smiled as she set the table for the family breakfast. Elsa had been freaking out all last night so Anna knew she would have to come to the rescue today. Today, she would be a hero.

"And how would you know?" Kristoff chuckled as he helped the sleepy blonde onto her seat. She tried to keep her eyes open as her head kept nodding forward. She was exhausted after running around yesterday.

"Because I just know. It's a sister thing, you wouldn't understand." Anna scoffed as she laid a pancake onto Kristen's plate. Kristoff laughed and began to cut up her food into small bites from behind her. Kristen looked up at her dad, watching him from below.

"I have plenty of siblings and I've never had that feeling." He fired back. Anna just simply waved away his comment, ready for another comeback.

"That's because you aren't as close to your siblings as I am. Elsa and I know everything about each other. I know some much about her that I could practically be her." Anna exclaimed as she waddled back to the stove. She continued cooking as Kristoff playfully rolled his eyes.

"So what is your plan to help her if she's going to 'flip' out?" Kristoff asked as he poured some syrup on Kristen's pancakes. Her blue eyes widened at the smell of sugar. She hungrily stuffed pieces into her mouth.

"I'm just going to -Kristen, smaller bites- I'm going to drive over there and teach her how to handle them." Anna answered, seating down on a chair. She was patiently waiting for the food cook, ready to hear Kristoff's response.

"Anna, I think Elsa knows how to take care of kids, going over there to teach her more won't help. If anything, I think it will just make her more upset that you think she can't do it." He honestly replied. He always spoke his mind with Anna. She always told him that she could handle it, and for the past five years, she been doing just fine.
