After dropping Henrick off at his house, Elsa drove home hoping to see Jack. She hadn't seen him all day and she was starting to get worried. Call her a worry wart, but he has never been here before and he could get lost without someone to help.

Pulling into the driveway, Elsa turned off her car and got out to lock it after her and go into her house. She could hear voices coming out of it, at even one point, she could hear a chorus of laughter rise for a moment and then die down. She paused for a moment and furrowed her brows.

Who was in there?

Going towards the door more quickly, she unlocked the door and closed it shut after her, not bothering to lock it in case she needed to kick some unwanted quests out, but once she got into the living room, her eyes widened when she saw Nick, Toothina, Hugh, and Sandy there along with Jack and Anna, all sitting on the plush couches and love seats. Jack looked up and noticed his fiancé and got up to greet her.

"Princess! You're here!" Elsa chuckled halfheartedly, still lightly surprised of her second family of 6 years be there too when she expected them to come a little later, maybe next week?! Not that she minded, she was happy to see them, but... She wasn't sure why Jack hadn't called her sooner about the plans.

"Y-yes I am, and so are you guys!" She replied, hugging Jack back when he opened up his arms for an embrace, and kissed her cheek, making Toothina and Anna both giggle when she saw Elsa smile bashfully at the sign of affection. Nick slapped his legs heartily and got up to open up his arms too.

"Come here future daughter in-law!" Elsa came over immediately, getting out of Jacks grasp to earn a hug from her future father in-law. He was engulfed with the smell of sugar cookies, and wood, two of his most signature scents since he worked mostly in his toy shoppe with the children.

The thing about Guardian Toy Shoppe, it wasn't like other toy shop's where you go in with your kid and search through rows on rows of tall shelves filled with the most latest and greatest toys, it also had a section where kids can actually make some. It was quite unique when Elsa first saw it when she was in the US, but it was also special.

Nick told her when she inquired about the idea, that it has been his dream for years to have children have to opportunity to make and widen their perspective of their own perfect toy. Yes, some recourses were limited since some needed the supervision of an adult, but it is such an experience for the child all together. Nick loved working with the other kids, especially Jack. He even had this one kid, Jamie, that he absolutely loved to hang out with. They were so close.

With one final squeeze, the two separated and Nick pinched her cheek lovingly.

"You get more prettier the more I see you darling. Absolutely gorgeous. " Elsa blushed and looked down modestly. He then nodded to Anna. "I see beauty runs in your family, eh? Both of you are simply beautiful." Anna giggled and tucked a strawberry blonde lock behind her ear.

"Thanks Mr. North." Nick shook his head and smiled.

"Anna, as I said, call me Nick." Elsa was about to comment as well but then she saw two small bodies then enter the room with a huge smiles on both their faces.

"Elsa!" Elsa gaped when she saw Jamie and Sophie, Jamie's little sister she gathered, ran in and hug her torso and hips, since Sophie was still small and Jamie growing faster and faster before her eyes. She staggered back a little, but then returned it with just as much excitement.

"Jamie! Soph! You came?" She felt Jamie nod and then he pulled back to smile, Sophie was still holding on tightly. She noticed that Jamie lost one of his front teeth.
