The Sister Unknown

Elsa POV

I watch my daughter sleeping, as she rests in her cot. I have to check every now and then, even though we have a monitor, just in case.

I sit on the bed, my same old bed from 11 years ago. As I relax on the bed, I look around the room. Same old clouds, same old blue walls. New pictures. The pictures are all from different times. There are pictures from the past, the group photo from Chester and Isla's engagement, our wedding photo (it was a double wedding). And there are pictures from the present, Parker and I with Isla and Chester, Parker holding baby James and Isla holding baby Rory.

There's a more recent one, of Percy and Jasper in their cots, trying to reach each other from the  bars. And the most recent one, from a few months ago, of Parker and I, with James and Peter looking at baby Anna, who's resting in my arms.

I lie on the bed for a little while, watching Anna. Her real name is Annabelle, after the doll (sadly). It's was Parker and Chester's bright idea, as a namesake of what our YouTube Channels are about. I refused at first, but Parker put it on the birth certificate.

Percy and James were names that Isla and I came up with, after Percy Jackson (the blue eyes gave it away) and James Potter. We both worked hard to teach Percy how to say Percabeth, which was his first word.

Peter was decided after a long debate, I wanted to use a ship name, but Parker wanted something decent. We ended up with Peter, since that would mean that our son was Spiderman. Peter Parker is a very decent name, otherwise.

Lorelai was because Isla wanted her daughter to have a character name, just like we had decided with James. I suggested all the fandoms I knew, but none of the names worked well with Isla, they weren't unique enough. We ended up searching through the Gilmore Girls fandom, the one show on Netflix that we watched religiously. Isla loved the idea of her daughter being called Lorelai, especially since she wants to believe that Rory will fall in love with a boy called Logan.

I rock Anna's cot slowly, as she slightly stirs. She starts moving around, so I pick her up, rocking her in my arms as I sing to her. I walk around the room, singing Rockabye to her. It's one of the only songs she'll fall asleep to. She nestles into my arms, and I lay her next to me.

I see the door handle twist. Parker peeps in, and signals for his glasses on the nightstand, noticing Anna sleeping. I gently loosen my grip around her, surrounding her with pillows, then grabbing the glasses and handing them to Parker.

"Where are you going?" I whisper

"Just down to the grocery store, it's raining heavily out there" he whispers. I notice the banging of the rain.

"Hopefully Anna doesn't wake up" I whisper. She has incredible hearing, and excessive sleep wriggling. Her brothers never woke up, even if it was super loud, but they had her same wriggling.

I go and rest next to Anna, and go through my phone. There's a video of baby James and baby Rory dancing to School Degree. Isla and I are laughing so hard in the video, and there's another video afterwards of James trying to take Parker's hands off his ears, while the song is still playing. His pudgy baby hands grabbing Parker's fingers and trying to pull them away from Parker's ears.

I grin at the confused look on his baby face, when he can't move Parker's fingers. His first word was 'dada' but not in the usual way. The first time we put the song on, it was the video version. James pointed at the TV and said 'dada' which shocked both of us. Parker was horrified and I was laughing my head off.
