A knock came from the front door. Anna stopped in the middle of tidying up a mess of toys that the kids had made over the weekend to go answer it. Wow she's early. I guess I didn't need to pick her up. She checked her reflection in the mirror and straightened her blouse before knocking a bit of dust from it. When she finally opened the door, she felt confident and presentable with her hair in a messy bun, her low-cut blouse fixed, and her pencil skirt miraculously unmarred by the dusting. She normally would have cleaned first, then dressed, but Moana had been three hours early the previous week, and she was not willing to be caught by surprise again.

She was shocked to find Tiana standing in her doorway. "Hey." Tiana gave a slight wave, as her eyes drifted over Anna's form for only a moment, before stepping inside and ridding herself of a large hat that Anna suspected was meant to conceal her identity. It did a poor job of it.

"What?" Anna stared at her as she made her way to the couch.

"Elsa didn't tell you I was coming?"

She shook her head, continuing to stare.

Tiana made an exaggerated sigh as she reclined on the sofa. "I'm in Seattle for the week. I promised your sister that I'd drop in to check on you. She's been really worried about you. She didn't say a thing? She told me she'd mention it when you two talked on Saturday. There's no way she forgot so badly that she didn't even bother to text you afterward."

Anna walked over to the coffee table in front of Tiana and picked up her phone. She did indeed have a message from her sister. "I meant to tell you the other day, but you ran off in a hurry. Tiana should be dropping by sometime this week." It had only been sent an hour earlier. Anna threw her hands in the air before dropping the phone back on the table. "She didn't tell me a thing until fifty-five minutes ago," Anna groaned.

Looking up at her, Tiana giggled. "Well I hope you're not too put out. I am always happy to see my favorite sexy redhead."

"Every redhead is your favorite." Anna knew her game.

She shrugged. "You got me, but you're still the best of them. Unfortunately, Elsa made me promise to behave myself, so I can only admire you from afar."

"You're like two feet from me."

"That's still far too far when I think of the various things I could be doing if I was only touching you."

Anna shuddered. She wasn't sure if she was creeped out, annoyed, or aroused. Likely some combination of the three, but this was not at all what she needed. "I need to go pick Moana up in an hour and a half. You can tell Elsa you've checked on me. Mind getting out of here?"

Tiana frowned, looking on the verge of tears. Anna wondered how much of it was an act. "I'm just trying to look after my future sister-in-law, is that really so bad? Speaking of family, where is Olaf?" She glanced around the living room, looking for any sign of the boy.

"He's at Nani's. Satisfied? Or would you like to go check on him too?" I shouldn't be so annoyed. It's actually really sweet of Elsa to ask her to do this. I just already have enough romantic complications without Tiana trying to throw herself in. Now if this was a sign that Elsa really did feel about me more than – no, shut up, Anna.

"I have a wonderful idea," she purred.

Anna's eyebrows shot up. "I'm not having a threesome with you." Without Elsa.

"That's a much better idea. I was just going to suggest that I make dinner for you and your date. Don't worry, I'd get out of your hair afterward. Unless you wanted me to watch. Or join in."

Anna stopped short. She wanted to refuse, to avoid anything that would offer a temptation beyond the woman she wanted to be with. She still hadn't gotten laid and if she wasn't forcing all of her frustration into anger, then she'd have likely already been in Tiana's lap. However, it was tough to top having the world's most famous chef personally make dinner for you and your date. Shit. "And you promise you'll behave?"

She held up two fingers. "Scout's honor."

"I am almost certain you weren't a boy scout."

Tiana spread her legs and looked down. "Care to check?"

This is such a bad idea. "I'll take your word for it, sir."

Tiana blinked and leered at her before finally breaking into a hearty laugh, turning towards the armrest as she tried to contain herself. "That was a good one. There might be more of your sister in you than I thought." Don't picture that. Don't picture that.

"Of course. We are family after all." And family doesn't sleep together. Or kiss. Or put various body parts inside of each other. Moana, get here already!

"What time will your date be getting here?"

Anna picked her phone back up to check the time. "Probably around six, but she was really early last time. She likes to surprise me."

"Well I'll plan for around six then. Any preference for dinner?"

She shrugged. "I assume you know better than I do there. I'll eat anything, as long as it's not too weird. Moana seems flexible too." Don't – no, do picture that. She's game. It'll happen tonight! "I'm sure whatever the famous Tiana Rose fixes for us will be absolutely perfect."

"Flattery will get you everywhere, you know." She tapped a finger on her thigh. "I'll have to see what you have. I don't suppose you'd be up for making a quick grocery run?"

It'll keep me away from her for a while. "Sure. What do you need?"

"Give me a minute." She went to the kitchen to inspect Anna's supplies.

I haven't been grocery shopping in a while. Where do you find the time? - Yesterday, when Nani had Olaf and I had nothing to do or most weekends when Kristoff has him. Those would have been perfect times. Too late to do anything about it now. She watched Tiana rummage through her sparse pantry and cabinets, tsking when she found Anna wanting in various necessities.

She drew her phone from her pants pocket and tapped rapidly on it. Anna's phone chimed. "I just sent you a list. Hurry up, I want to get started before your date arrives."

Anna fled. I wonder if Moana would be up for that threesome or if Tiana is even serious. She shook her head and focused on the road. Within half an hour, she managed to make it to QFC, purchase everything from the list, save for one item which Tiana had immediately offered a replacement for when Anna messaged her, and returned home.

The house was filling with the smell of something simmering on the stove and something else in the oven when the doorbell rang. I knew she wouldn't let me pick her up. Wait, it is actually her this time right? I don't have any other celebrity chefs visiting, right? She cautiously opened the door, peering through the crack to verify the identity of the new arrival before opening it the rest of the way and throwing her arms around Moana. She smelled like lilacs and cinnamon. "I missed you," Anna sighed, as she melted into the younger woman.

Moana held her upright and planted a soft kiss on her neck. "I missed you too," she whispered into Anna's ear.

When they finally separated, Anna was pleased to see the overnight bag in Moana's hand. She didn't acknowledge it, unsure of proper protocol there. Do we both just ignore the fact that we know what's going to happen? I mean she spent the night last time, so it's not exactly weird.

Before Anna could figure it out, Moana stopped in her tracks, halfway to the couch. "Why is Tiana Rose in your kitchen?"

Tiana waved at her. "Dinner will be another forty minutes."

"She's making dinner," Anna added, redundantly.

"I see that." Moana continued to stare.

What do I even say? "Surprise?" she offered.

"I'll say." Moana finally turned back to Anna, confusion clear in her eyes. "How do you two know each other?"

That one I can actually answer! "She's dating my sister."

"Your sister is Elsa Agnarrsen. Obviously. Your name is Anna Agnarrsen, it's not like it's a common name. I'm dumb." I still can't believe the whole world knew when I didn't. Was I just willfully oblivious? She glanced again in the direction of the kitchen before hesitantly taking a seat on the sofa. "And why's she here? Is your sister here?"

"No, she's just visiting." Anna shrugged. Maybe if I play it off as a normal thing, Moana will believe me. Plus if having a celebrity over is a normal thing, I'll sound extra cool.

"Cool." Yes! "Well, dinner smells amazing."

"Yeah it does. You're going to love her cooking. She really is the best."

"Love you too, Anna!" Tiana called from the other room.

Moana looked impressed. Anna grinned, her cheeks coloring slightly. "So, should I be expecting this a lot once we're official?"

Anna managed to hide her panicked look with a bored shrug. "I guess that's up to Tiana."

"What's in it for me?" Tiana leaned against the kitchen doorway, looking in at them. "I'm doing it this time 'cause I promised I'd check in on her, Moana. Not that I'm ever against admiring your beautiful date. Seriously, you lucked out." She winked at Anna again, as Anna tried to decide if this made her look better or worse. "So unfortunately, you two will likely have to fend for yourselves in the future." She sauntered back into the kitchen, casting a lingering look over her shoulder.

"Now that's a shame. A girl could get used to this life." Moana wrapped an arm around Anna. "Getting to relax in my girlfriend's living room while world class chefs fix me dinner. This is basically what I expected when I became a pilot."

Anna blinked, blushing as she looked up at Moana, unsettling herself from her new position against her date's chest. It had taken a second for her words to sink in. Did she really just say that? Her mouth opened and closed as she tried to formulate a response.

Moana's eyes widened as she looked back at her. "I really just said that, didn't I?"

Anna nodded, still at a loss for words.

"Well, uh." She scratched her head, turning her gaze away, toward the dying embers of the fireplace. Anna had thought it would set the mood. Plus it saves money on heating. Moana turned back, her lip trembling slightly. She bit it to make it stop and looked Anna directly in the eyes. "Would you like to be?"

Anna's heart thudded in her chest. "I. You. We. Uh." Yes, those were all words. Well, mostly. Now make a sentence. "Yes." I guess that counts.

"Oh. Good." She visibly tried to keep from jumping for joy. Anna allowed her to continue thinking that she was cool. Moana's hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, until their lips met. Her heart raced as she deepened the kiss, lips parting to allow Moana's tongue entry, as her hands explored Moana's body, and Moana's hands hers. It's finally going to happen. God, I've wanted this so badly.

"Dinner's ready!"

Damn it! Reluctantly, slowly, they pulled away, their eyes drifting over each other's bodies as they both panted, yearning for more. Just another hour or so. I can wait. Probably. Maybe I can get Tiana to leave and we can just eat it cold. "Fuck." Neither was sure which had said it, nor whether it was a statement of intent or an utterance cursing the cruel timing of their dinner. I have been an English teacher for far too long.

Tiana was in the doorway again. "You two coming? You are not letting my beef Wellington get cold."

That drew Moana's attention. "I've never actually had beef Wellington."

Anna glowered at her. You have better things to eat! "I haven't either," she admitted. It smelled amazing. It wasn't enough to make her forsake her desire to do other things, but she'd rather not have to deal with the temptation to let Tiana join in. I really need to stop being so horny. Well, she'll take care of that. She took one last appreciative look at Moana's ass as the younger woman stood and headed toward the kitchen.

"You coming?" She looked back, immediately catching where Anna's eyes had been. "Well you will be before long," she added.

That was not helping Anna's situation. She followed after her, trying to focus on anything but the warm feeling that was stubbornly clinging to her.

She finally managed to shrug it off once she saw the meal that Tiana had set out for them, and it finally hit her that she was utterly famished. She took a seat, eyeing the beef wellington, risotto, and green beans almondine. It was a far fancier feast than she'd had in years. Even Nostrana paled in comparison.

"Wow," Moana breathed. "This looks amazing."

Anna nodded in agreement. "You outdid yourself, Tiana."

She shrugged. "Hey, you'll be family before long. I just wanted to make sure you two had a great date. I'll be out of your hair. I have to get going back to Seattle." She kissed Anna's cheek and gave her another quick wink. "It was great seeing you. Give my regards to Olaf."

"Give Elsa a big hug for me." Anna was pleased to find that she didn't want to give her more than that. She had what she wanted. Elsa was just part of me being crazy. It wasn't anything real. I have Moana now, and she's all I need.

"It was nice meeting you, Moana." She took her hand and shook it before heading out the door. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Anna started to rise to walk her to the door.

"I'll let myself out. You crazy kids have fun." With that, she was gone, leaving Anna and Moana alone, with only their meal to keep their hands from each other.

Moana scooted her chair closer to her date and squeezed her hand gently. "My first dinner with my girlfriend." She beamed, turning to look at her plate. "How do I eat this?"

Anna eyed it. That's a very good question. "I don't know. I guess just like a steak? I mean you don't want to lose the crust." She sighed, trying to figure out how best to preserve the puff pastry as they dug into the fillet. "I thought they were normally cut." They had both been given individual cuts of fillet, seasoned and wrapped in a pastry, rather than the traditional larger variety which was served in portions. I did buy smaller fillets. Why am I surprised? She poked it with her fork. It seemed to hold together and she was able to cut off a bite and eat it. She was undeservedly impressed with herself. "Like that." She grinned at her partner. My partner.

Moana imitated her, and together the two of them made quick work of their meal. Everything was positively divine. Tiana had outdone herself. The risotto was surprisingly flavorful and complemented the beef's flavor, the green beans were delicious, the almonds giving them a nice extra bit of crunch that took some getting used to, and the beef wellington tasted even better than it looked. It was perhaps a bit too heavy of a meal for the night they had planned, but they'd work off the calories.

Tiana had left some beignets in a lidded dish, that Anna didn't recall owning, and the two made quick work of them. When that was done, they made their way back to the living room, and fell into each other's arms. At Moana's insistence, they made it through another episode of Star Trek, before Anna was too distracted by her girlfriend nibbling on her earlobe to watch another one.

"Moana, if I didn't know better, I'd think there was something else you'd rather be doing."

Her hands rested lightly on Anna's hips. "Please, what could I possibly want to do more than watch Star Trek with the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Anna blushed. She turned away and tried to compose herself. It wasn't like blushing didn't fit the mood, she just hadn't been called that in a long time, and never by a beautiful woman. "You're beautifuller. I mean –" she shook her head. Moana knew exactly what she meant and a rambling explanation was just going to sound ridiculous. I am an English teacher and I can use real words!

"Beautifuller than the most beautiful woman in the world? I think not." She kissed her, soft lips meeting Anna's, as they melted into each other. Anna was surprised when, upon opening her mouth, she didn't meet the increasingly familiar and pleasant taste of Moana's tongue, but instead felt her nibbling on her lower lip. She whimpered, the iota of pain only adding to the pleasure, as Moana's hands shifted down from her hips to cup her ass.

Anna pulled back, watching her partner through half-lidded eyes. "Want to go to the bedroom?" I watch shows with my son in this couch. It's weird.

Moana nodded. "I'd love to."

The next morning, Anna woke up to find Moana still in bed with her. She had another hour until she had to start getting ready for work, so she wrapped an arm around her and laid her head on her chest. She listened to her partner's heartbeat as the gentle sound began to soothe her back to sleep. She awoke again a few minute later to Moana's fingers running through her hair, getting caught in the tangled mess it always was when she first woke up, and lightly tugging as they pulled loose. It wasn't an entirely unpleasant sensation. "Good morning," she murmured, blinking away sleep.

"Morning." Moana kissed the top of her head. "I haven't slept that well in quite a while."

"When do you have to fly back out?"

Anna could hear a snicker from her, but it wasn't enough to compel her to move to look at her. She was perfectly content exactly where she was, and Moana could use her words if she wanted to communicate. "Tomorrow."

At that, she sat up and stared at her. "Tomorrow?"

Moana nodded.

"So I can spend tonight with you?" Olaf would be joining them, but spending time with her two favorite people in the word was not exactly a downside. "Olaf will be here too, you know?"

Moana grinned. "Good. I mean, we'll have to keep things down tonight then, but I'd love to get to know your son more."

Anna threw her arms around her girlfriend and pulled her into a kiss. She had really lucked out. She's perfect for me. The kiss progressed into something far more interesting, and by the time Anna actually arrived at school, she was a good ten minutes late. Worth it.

She made it through the whole day, guided on by the euphoric state Moana had left her in. Even Snow wouldn't be able to bother her today, not that she'd been bothering her since Esmeralda had talked to her. All of her classes seemed to go more smoothly than ever before, almost as if her good mood infected her students and made them stop being the miserable little bitches that they so loved to be.

With Olaf in tow, she returned home with a bounce in her step and a renewed joy to be home. She couldn't wait to see Moana.

She was shocked to find her home was spotless. It hadn't been dirty, precisely – at least not unreasonably so – but it had certainly shown the effects of a child, a Lilo, an occasional dog, and a single mother. Now, there wasn't so much as a toy on the floor, a dish in the sink, or the clutter of various odds and ends that pile up as you live in a house for years. The only signs of the previous mess were a few stains on the carpets, but even they seemed to magically be slightly less noticeable. "I got bored," Moana explained, coming down the stairs and noticing Anna's look of bewildered amazement. "I figured it was the least I could do."

I am the luckiest woman alive. Anna all but leaped on her girlfriend and gave her the chastest kiss she could manage when she wanted to pin her against the wall. Olaf was watching, and that was hardly the kind of display she wanted to put on in front of him.

"Hi, Aunt Moana." Didn't I say not to call her that? I'm trying NOT to date my sister.

"Hey there, kiddo." Moana affectionately ruffled his hair as she bent down on one knee to look him in the eye. "You have a good day at school?"

He nodded. "We worked on our subtraction tables and learned about the five senses. I'm getting really good at my math. The teacher even let me help another student with it."

Anna stared at him. He didn't get that from me. "I'm so proud of you. We should celebrate." Maybe he'll end up in mathematics or something like it. I had always expected more creative stuff from him, he's just so sensitive, but if he ended up as an engineer then I at least wouldn't have to worry about him managing to provide for himself. Just don't be a teacher. "What do you want to do?"

He studied his mother, trying to figure out what he could manage to get away with. He always did this when she offered him any sort of reward. He had learned that she wouldn't just buy him a new video game console, anything too sharp, or his own car, but he was still working out just what the limits were. "Can we have ice cream for dinner?"

Nice try. "We can have ice cream after dinner."

He chewed on his lip, looking between the two of them. Is Moana already part of this? Wow, she joined the family quick. Is this lesbian time? "Can I have a new bike?"

Moana giggled. Anna rolled her eyes. "Your current bike is fine."

"That toy sword and armor set at Toys R Us?"

Anna had bought them on clearance before their local store had shut down. He'd be getting them the next month for his birthday. She considered letting him open it early. "Just pick something for dinner. It's your birthday next month, I can't buy you too many presents." I can barely afford just dinner. I get paid on Friday. I'll be fine.

He considered for a few moments before his eyes lit up. He knew what he wanted. "KFC!"

Anna gave him a deep formal bow. "Your wish is my command."

Moana rested her hand on Anna's shoulder. "Let me pay for it."

She wanted to refuse, to insist that she could manage, that it was for her son, anything, but all she could think about was how her bank account was barely in the triple digits. "Thank you."

"Any time."

I might just take her up on that. They picked up a family bucket with corn and mashed potatoes, and grabbed some ice cream from the grocery store, before they returned to Anna's house and settled in for the evening. They ate together in front of the TV, with Olaf between them and enjoyed the simple domesticity of it all. Maybe this really could be her new family.

Moana and Anna had to shield their chicken from Olaf to avoid having him steal their 'crunchy.' He'd earned it, but it was hardly even worth eating the chicken without their skin. Fortunately, his stomach was small and he gave up after eating a leg, breast, and a corncob. "Can I have ice cream now?" he asked. Clearly his stomach wasn't quite that small.

"Sure." Anna paused the show and went with him to the kitchen, scooping him a cup of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup as he rinsed his plate off. His grin was quickly covered in ice cream as they returned to join Moana. They spent the rest of the night marathoning Star Trek until Olaf went to bed and the two women were left to their own devices.

"Want to watch more?" Moana asked, leaning her head against Anna's shoulder.

"I don't know. It is getting late, and I have work in the morning."

"You're right. You should sleep." She sat back up and rolled her shoulders and neck. "I'm getting tired too."

"Anything you wanted to do before bed?" It's my last chance for a while. From the sound of it she won't be back in town for at least a few weeks.

She gave Anna the most innocent look she could manage. "Whatever did you mean? I thought we were done watching Star Trek."

Anna licked her lips suggestively. "We do have that chocolate syrup."

Her eyebrows raised. "We do. I think we can come up with a few uses for it."

They fell asleep sticky and satisfied, barely able to wait until they could see each other again.
