Epilogue.

Two and a half years later…

It was a calm summer evening, the waves crashed against the dock with comforting rhythm, and in the distance the seagulls fled across the sky. Meanwhile, kids got out from schools in what was their first day of classes after the summer break ended, and immediately started running towards a certain place, one situated next to the fjord with a crowd gathered outside, hoping to be able to buy what the shop sold; the most delicious ice-creams of all Arendelle.

It was a huge shop, entirely decorated with painted snowflake-like blue patterns and with lots of white chairs, tables and couches inside, as well as many ice-sculptures and snowmen lying around for the people to admire. At the far end, there was also a big snow pool where children could play with snow and make snowmen.

However, the most breathtaking and beautiful thing of that place, was a blonde woman. She was the owner of the shop, the one who made the ice-creams, even if the three waitresses were the ones who served it. At first she seemed to be untouchable and, some said, even a little cold, but the truth is, if you looked closer, you'd notice she was only shy. In reality she was very sweet and cute; she often gave gifts to the small children and even played with them in the snow (only when she could afford to waste a little time).

It was a shame she was already married, because many people fancied her, both men and women. But she only had eyes for her wife, a feisty redhead that often got jealous whenever she saw someone flirting with her lover. However, she never hit anyone (only because her wife told her not to).

They both lived their calm and happy lives together since they'd moved there a year and a half ago, after the shop owner had been kidnapped by a group of crazy delinquents and, miraculously, survived almost intact. Now, together with their daughter, they were the happiest family out there.

"Mamma!" A happy little voice sounded above the others as a little girl entered the shop. Elsa looked up from the ice-cream she was preparing to see her running towards her, and a warm smile instantly appeared on her face. She handed the ice-cream to her client, excused herself, and a second later got out from behind the counter to greet her daughter. The girl, seeing this, instantly jumped into her arms and Elsa caught her, barely being able to hold her, but managing to do so just because she really didn't want to drop her.

"Hey sweetie." She greeted her. "How was your first day of school?"

"It was great!" She smiled widely, showing her two missing teeth.

"She didn't want to get out." A familiar voice made Elsa look up to meet the teal eyes of her wife, who had gone to pick Mildri up from school. "I had to practically drag her out of her classroom."

"Is that so?" Elsa raised an eyebrow, looking at her daughter. "And to think this morning you were crying because you didn't want to go to school."

"The teachers looked scary." She pouted, before a radiant smile returned to her face. "But my classmates were fun! I made lots of friends."

"I'm glad you did." The blonde smiled fondly at her. Truth to be told, she had been afraid at first that their naturally shy daughter wouldn't be able to make many friends at school, after all, she hadn't really interacted with anyone but them and Rapunzel's family before.

"You should've seen her!" Anna interfered. "She was about to kiss a boy when I got there."

"He was so nice to me!" The girl protested. "And I asked if we could get married when we grew up and he said yes! So I just had to kiss him, like in the movies."

"Okay, no more Disney movies for you."

"Mom!—The child whined and Elsa laughed at the cute display, after all, Elsa remembered Anna telling her that she was exactly like Mildri when she was her age; always dreaming of princes in shining armor and love at first sight.

"And… what about you, Anna? How was your day?" Elsa asked her wife.

"Oh, it was fine, you know…" She tried to conceal a growing smirk by biting her lip, but Elsa noticed anyways, knowing instantly that she had good news. "I get to have one of my photos shown in Arendelle's art museum, during the next exposition!" She finally said excitedly.

"That's great!" Elsa answered with equal enthusiasm. "I'm so happy for you."

"Yeah, you'll come, right? To the inauguration of the expo?"

"I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world."

"I'll take your word for that."

They closed their shop later that night, then went to have dinner in front of the TV as they watched a movie that their daughter had chosen (they had memorized The Little Mermaid's dialogue long ago, thanks to the huge number of times they'd watched the movie, but whatever, never argue with a kid obsessed with a movie), before the girl fell asleep… as well as her mother.

"Anna." Elsa shook the redhead to wake her up. "Anna, it's time to go to bed."

"Mmmmmh… five more minutes." She mumbled and Elsa shook head, deciding she'd let her sleep while she went put Mildri into bed. The blonde got up from the couch and picked Mildri up from the giant cushion she had fell asleep on to carry her to her room. Their house wasn't too large; it only had four bedrooms, a bathroom, the living room, and the kitchen, but it was better than the old mansion plagued with bad memories. No, Elsa had wanted to start anew, and so she couldn't return to that cursed place, that's why she had convinced Anna to buy this house.

Mildri's room was next to Elsa and Anna's, and was a little smaller than the others, but then again, she still didn't need much room for herself, and when she wanted to play with her toys she could do it all around the house. It was painted in light colors, all in perfect harmony, just as Rapunzel had intended when they helped them paint it, and had many toys lying here and there, as well as clothes. The little girl was as messy as Anna sometimes. Elsa avoided all the obstacles to finally reach the bed and put her peacefully sleeping daughter on it, and as she did so, she couldn't help comparing this moment with the first night they'd lived together.

The first month was especially hard; after they had asked Mildri about living with them (she had been more eager about the idea than Esa herself), and they had gotten married and signed the papers, the girl was finally given to them, but Elsa had never thought being a parent would be that difficult, or that Mildri could be so problematic to begin with. The first night was the hardest; she wouldn't sleep and she'd keep crying and demanding to see her real parents, even if she had already been informed of their deaths and even taken to see their tombs. It was heartbreaking to see, really, but Elsa stayed with her all night, and Anna too (though she had at first thought they should call someone to help them), but eventually, she had calmed down and, exhausted, she'd fell asleep. The next few nights had gone on in a similar way, but just when they had been seriously thinking about getting professional help, Mildri started to get better, and soon she was even able to acknowledge her parents deaths without breaking down. She still kept having nightmares even after a year though, but her mothers were always there to comfort her.

Then there had also been the issue with her powers, growing stronger each year, until she'd cause a hurricane every time she threw a tantrum. But fortunately Elsa's lessons to help her control her magic were working… even if still they preferred not to make her angry. But overall, she was developing like any other child despite her powers.

And truth to be told, no matter how many nights Elsa had spent without getting a wink of sleep, or how much trouble Mildri had caused them, or how many times they'd doubted of their ability to raise this child, Elsa knew Mildri was the greatest blessing they'd both received; she loved and cared deeply about her and knew Anna felt the same. This little girl had changed their lives forever, but in a good way, and now neither of them could imagine a future without her.

"Sleep well, my little angel." She said, tenderly kissing her forehead after she had covered her with the blankets. Then she got out of the room, careful not to make any noise and walked downstairs to see her sleeping wife in the couch. She was about to wake her, but decided against it and, instead, snuggled against her in the couch, closing her eyes and thinking, as Anna tightly wrapped her arms around her, that she must be the luckiest person in the world for having such a wonderful family.

The end.

A/N: Yes, this is really the end, finally, after 35 chapters. It's been more than a year since I started this fanfic, and I must say that it turned out very different than I originally planned, but I'm happy to say that I'm satisfied with the result :)

If you're wondering which are Rapunzel's daughter's powers, I'll tell you that she has light powers (it's just not mentioned here because she's still too young to use them), yes, she can make a room as dark as a cave or as bright as the sun just by snapping her fingers. Let's just hope she doesn't use that ability to steal, like her father would XD.

Also, I'd like to thank all of you who favorited, followed and, specially, reviewed this story, since it were you who inspired me to keep writing and not drop this fic. I honestly never thought it'll get so much attention, so really, I'm very grateful for all the support.

And, of course, I really want to thank my beta reader, moonwatcher13, who, even if he only beta read a little more than a half of the chapters, really helped me improve the quality. So thank you.

Thanks again and I hope to see you soon, if you want to read my other stories. Bye :)
