Here's the Sequel of my stories 'Take her in' and 'Anna's meltdown'. Please read them first before you start with this one. It's not a One-Shot, there is more but don't expect a long story.

Kate's character belongs to me but I don't own Frozen!

Olaf is 9 and Anna is 14 there.

Anna's POV.

" She was amazing dad! She stood against them. " I grin as I watch my brother telling our father -technically my step-father- what happened at his school this morning.

" Did she? "Jack gave me an amused look.

Olaf nodded his head eagerly. " Yeah she yelled at Baron and his friends and threatened to kick their butt if they mess with me again. "

" You threatened them? " Jack gasped.

I simply shrugged and took a glance at our surrounding, watching as the customers walked in and out of the ice cream parlor from our table. A few tables away, my gaze stopped on a brunette woman with blue eyes who was staring in my direction intensively. I looked over my shoulder to see if it was someone else she was staring at but there was only a couple and a group of teens in the corner, they weren't even aware of the others around. I looked back at the woman, she was definitely looking at me.

" Anna! " Olaf's loud voice made me jump slightly and I finally broke eye contact with her to look at him.

" I'm sorry buddy, you were saying? "

" I was telling dad that Baron and his friends didn't pick on me today. I think you scared them away. "

" I did? " I smirked, satisfied to hear that. " Nice. "

Jack chuckled. " Poor kids. "

" Poor kids? " I scoffed, nearly spilling my milkshake. In the corner of my eyes, I saw the woman watching with the same intensity but I quickly shrugged her off and looked back at Jack. " You can't be serious! These kids are older and they didn't only pick on Olaf but they also dumped his backpack in the trashcan and tripped him. They did it in front of me, I wasn't going to let them mess with my brother. "

" I understand Anna but what if they retaliated? You should have alerted one of the teachers or an adult around. "

I snorted at that. " I handled it just fine. I'll do it again if I have to and this time, I'll really show these 'poor kids' how scary I can be. They haven't tasted my fist yet, maybe they should. "

" Now don't let your mother hear that or else you will be in trouble missy. "

" I can play the puppy look card. " I shrugged, stating one of the many options I have to get out of trouble. " If it doesn't work, I will stuck my lower lip out and it's done. She can't resist my pout. "

" You must have mistaken her with your godmother. While it's true that your mother can't resist your cuteness, she also won't stand violence. She certainly knows when to put her foot down to put her little one back on track. "

Aww why spoiling my fun?

Olaf shuddered next to me. " Mom can be scary too, no glare can match hers. "

Yep you said it bro'.

Jack threw his head back when he broke into a fit of laughters. On the other hand, Olaf and I weren't laughing at all. Scary mom is really not funny, I'd rather face a hungry lion in that case or you better be really good at running. Wait no, running is a small word. Sprint is more like it. " I agree, your mother is terrifying. " As the laughters died down, the look on his face became serious once again. " But don't tell her I said that okay? "

" If you don't tell her that I threatened Baron and his friends. " I told him my condition.

" Deal. " He nodded and we shook hands. " So how was school today? "

Olaf and I exchanged a look and we both rolled our eyes. While I finished my milkshake, I hesitantly glanced back at the table where the woman from earlier was. She is still there and now I'm really creeped out because she is still watching me. Do I have something on my face that neither Jack and Olaf told me about?

" Do I have something on my face? " I asked them. They eyed me a moment and Olaf shook his head in confusion.

" No, why? "

" This woman over there kept watching me since we got here. " I told him. They both turned around in time to see the woman standing up as she made her way towards the ladies room.

" Are you sure? Maybe she was just looking around. " Olaf hummed.

I nodded but I wasn't convinced. " Yeah, you're probably right. " I dumped my napkin on the table and stood up as well. " I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back. "

This lady obviously has a problem with me, isn't it weird that she has been watching me since we got here? It's creepy. I made my way towards the ladies room and pushed the door open only to freeze as I stepped in. There she stood, in front of the huge mirror facing the door with a small grin forming on her lips when our eyes meet, as if she was expecting me. Was she? That would make things even more creepy because I don't know her. Why would a stranger be waiting for me? And as far as I know, I am certain that I never met her before.

" Uh hi? " I spoke unsure, letting the door close by itself behind me. The woman just stares at me with a smile, so I continue. " I couldn't help but notice that you were watching me. Back there in the parlor, I mean. "

" I was. " She nodded. I raised a brow in confusion and squirmed a bit. I couldn't help but be nervous, she actually admitted that she was watching me. But why? " You look so much like her in her youth, minus the color of your hair of course. "

" Like who? "

" My mother. "

Oh do I now?

" Umm okay... just curious though, do we know each other? " I asked, still eyeing her curiously.

" You obviously don't know me my darling girl. " She walked towards me and reached a hand out to caress my cheek. " But I know you, you're so beautiful. " I flinch at her touch and took a step back, she can't touch me like I was her property, she is a stranger for goodness sake. " Your name is Anna right? "

" Yes that's my name but who are you? "

" I'm your mother, of course. "

I'm your mother, of course. Her words echoed in my head. She stared at me expectantly to see what will my reaction be. I don't know what reaction she expected but I sure wasn't expecting mine as well because a few seconds later, I was laughing madly, almost hysterically while clutching my stomach. It must be a joke or I am probably in a reality TV show or something like that. Wait no, that can't be it. There's no camera hidden around here, then it's a joke.

" You... you are... " I tried to catch my breath as I kept giggling. " You are really funny lady, you know that? Wait... let me breath... a second... whew! Okay I'm good. "

" I'm not being funny. My name is Kate and I'm your birthmother. Is this your adopted father outside? "

Now is she serious? I look at her incredulously.

" Jack is my step-father, my dad is Hans. " I corrected her and crossed my arms in a typical teenager way. " So Ms. Kate, unless you didn't have a daughter fourteen years ago with a man named Hans Westergard, I'm not your kid. "

" Hans? " She frowned.

" That's what I said. Anyway sorry but I'm one hundred percent certain that I'm not your kid because I have a mom and she is not you... obviously. "

Ha! My mom is far from being a brunette. In fact, my mom is blonde and she has the most striking platinum hair I've ever seen and yet she is still dead gorgeous. Platinum is not odd on her but I'm sure that it would make people cringe if it was someone else. This Kate woman has nothing to envy her because she is also beautiful but she is just not my mom. Nope.

Kate looked at me with wide eyes, I don't know why though. She is probably realizing that I am not the girl she is looking for. After a while, she spoke again. " Wait so Hans kept you? "

I scoffed.

" Of course he did, why wouldn't he? He might not be with my mom anymore but I'm still their kid duh! My dad would never abandon me. I take back what I said, you're not funny anymore. "

" Wow. " Kate blinked, her brows furrowing together. A look of confusion and surprise filled her eyes and as they shifted, they slowly met mine. Her left hand laid on the marble counter and her nails were drumming against the cold surface. " That woman really adopted you, she had the heart to take in a child that wasn't even hers. "

I shook my head in confusion. " What are you talking about? Elsa is my mom! "

" They never told you right? "

" Told me what? " I threw my hands in the air in frustration. It was exasperating, this woman was messing with my head. " What were my parents supposed to tell me that they didn't? "

" I had a baby with Hans fourteen years ago and I named her Anna, just like my mother. " My jaw dropped and I would have denied what she said but I was speecless. I could only stare at her, mouth agaped as my breath caught in a gasp. " Elsa is not your birthmother... I am. "

" No. "

" Yes it's true. " She took out a business card and handed it to me. " Call me and I will tell you everything you want to know. We can meet at my place, I rented a house in the area, you have the address on it. "

" Why would I do that? I don't even know you, I have no reason to believe you. "

" I can see it in your eyes darling, you want to know " She caressed my sheek once again but I slapped her hand away.

" Don't call me that! " I spatted angrily. She laughed and bent down, catching my chin in her hand. I shook my head but her grip tightened and I couldn't supress the small whimper that escaped my lips. She immediatly released me and sighed softly. " I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you. Look I only want a second chance, I didn't get to see you growing up. "

" You can't be my mother Kate, that's not true. "

" Are you trying to convince me? Or yourself? " She asked, tilting her head slightly. " I only want to see my daughter again, is that so much to ask? "

I only shook my head.

I can't believe it, I don't want to believe it but there is something in her eyes. Something deep and painfully true. I felt my whole body shaking and when she made an attempt to approach me, I didn't let her. I couldn't let her. I did the only thing that came to my mind and stormed out of the room. As soon as Jack saw me, he smiled.

But I didn't.

" Are you oka- "

" Please tell me the woman back there was lying. " I blurted out, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. " Tell me it's a lie, she has to be lying! She has to. "

" Hey sit down, what's wrong? " He tried to put me down on the chair next to him but I pulled away and shook my head furiously. " Anna who is the woman? "

" The woman from earlier, she said... sh-she said that... "

" Breath honey and then you can tell me what she said? "

" She claimed to be my mother but she is not! Right? I have a mom, Elsa is my mom and not her. " I was almost pleading. I will beg on my knees if I have to, only to hear the truth. The truth that I know, that my mom is Elsa and not some stranger.

Jack looked horrified as he looked around, probably for Kate but she was nowhere to be seen. He frowned and took my hand. " She what? "

" It's a lie Anna. " I heard Olaf say and that almost made me smile. I hope he is right, now I just need Jack to say it. " Mom is your mother, this woman must be crazy, right dad? " He looked at Jack.

please say it. For the love of God, say it.

" Let's sit down and talk first. " Jack said. I don't like the tone of his voice, I don't like the look in his eyes. Is that guilt? " Anna come here. "

" Please papa. " I asked again, refusing to sit down. " Tell me I wasn't adopted. "

Olaf stared at Jack incredulously as if to ask him 'what are you waiting for?' but Jack never answered, he didn't need to. The look in his eyes said it all.

I was adopted.

" I want my dad " was the first thing I said before I collapsed in his arms.

Normal POV.

Elsa could feel her heart pounding in her chest in sync with the clicks of heels that echoed through her own ears as she ran towards the house, leaving her car in the driveway. She left the firm in a hurry after her Jack's call, feeling slightly guilty to leave her partners to handle the important case they were working. But right now her family matters more than her own career. Especially her daughter. The day Elsa has dreaded the most finally arrived. Anna knows about the adoption. She knows that Elsa is not her birthmother, she knows she is someone else's child. Elsa couldn't imagine all the thoughts going through her daughter's head.

She didn't want to think about it.

" Jack! " She called as soon as she bursted into her house, not bothering to close the front doors behind her as she headed straight to the sitting room. Jack appeared at the bottom of the stairs with a defeated look on his face. " Where is she? " Elsa managed between short gasps of breath.

" She is upstairs and Olaf is keeping her company, I'm worried about her. " He said, walking towards her. " But she refuses to talk to anyone but him. "

" How did she find out? " Elsa asked confused.

Jack sighed and pulled the small card that slipped out of Anna's hand at the ice cream parlor when she broke down in his arms. " She met her birthmother today, she was here and she gave that to Anna. "

Elsa stared blankly at the card and she felt her blood boiling under her skin when she saw the name. " Katherine Dobrah" She muttered darkly, her fists unconsciously balling by her sides. " How could she do this? Anna is my daughter! I swear that when I have my hands on her I will- "

" Calm down, Anna can't see you like that. " Jack whispered. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He is right, Anna can't see her like that. " Did you call Hans? Anna asked for him. "

" Yes is on his way, I need to see Anna. " She said and looked at him, unsure. " Do you think she will talk to me? "

" You can always try, I will stay here. " He whispered, hugging her close to him. Elsa couldn't be more happy to have him as her husband. When Jack felt her nodding her head against his shoulder, he pulled away. With one last glance, she ran uptairs, taking two steps at a time and headed to her daughter's room. To her surprise, the door to Anna's room was open and as she stood outside, she almost bursted to tears at the sight before her eyes.

Her kids were on the big bed with pictures scattered all around them as Anna was seated against the headboard. Her bright blue eyes, glassy and red from the crying were void of their usual sparkles. Olaf knelt on the bed in front of her across from his sister, his hands resting on his knees as he leans forward.

" I still love you the same. " Elsa heard her son say, his eyes reflecting all the love he has for the girl he considered family. Elsa is relieved to know that even after finding out the truth, Olaf still considers Anna as his sister. It means so much to her that her kids keep this strong bond.

" Me too bug. "

" You will always be my big sister. " Anna chocked on a sob at his words and there is a tear running down her cheek, which the boy gently wiped away. Elsa felt her own tears burning in her eyes and it took her all her might to keep them in. " And I'm still your little brother, right? "

" Of course. " Anna launched forward and pulled Olaf in a crushing hug. The boy held onto her tightly, returning the gesture. " You're still my brother Olaf, you will always be my baby brother. " The girl whispers, just loud enough for their mother to hear and Elsa felt her heart swell with love.

" Always? "

" Always. "

Elsa kept watching this special moment between the siblings for a few more seconds, hating herself for doing what she is about to do. She can't describe all the love she has for these two, it's a feeling she can't measure. It's unconditional. Taking a deep breath, she clears her throat and stepped in the room, catching two pairs of eyes that belong to her children. One of them staring at her in surprise and the other... well Elsa couldn't quite describe the look in her daughter's eyes, it was simply heartbreaking. Lifeless even.

" Mom? " Olaf, her nine years old boy sat up straight.

" Hey sweetie. " Elsa forced a smile on her face as she cautiously rounded the bed to greet the two. Olaf smiles when she bends down to kiss his forehead, however before she could move to do the same with Anna, the girl abruptly stood up and walked towards her window to stand there with her arms crossed. It hurts and Elsa can't blame her for being upset or mad, she knows she can't.

But it still hurts.

" Olaf honey, why don't you go with dad downstairs while I talk to your sister? "

Olaf hesitated as he looked at his sister but when he received a small nod from her, he sighed softly and left, closing the door behind him.

Anna was silent the whole time since Elsa entered her room, even when Olaf left she didn't speak a word nor acknowledge her mother with a look. Mother... A frown suddenly took over her pretty face as she ponders on this title. Elsa, the beautiful and strong woman she looked up to her entire life, the one she was so proud to call mom is not her mom. She is not the one who brought her to life like she believed she did. This single information destroyed the world Anna lived in for fourteen years, the world she grew up in. It was all gone just like that.

How did they got here?

" Anna. " Elsa spoke first, breaking the silence. She could only imagine the dark cloud of mixed feelings hovering over the quiet girl. Anna is never quiet and she can't bear to see her daughter like this. When the girl doesn't respond, she continued. " Honey- "

" -Where is my dad. " Anna cut her off sharply. " I want my dad. "

" He is coming but please, talk to me. "

Anna's head snapped towards her. " What do you want me to say? I just found out that my whole life was a lie. What am I supposed to say mom? " Her tone was surprisingly soft, barely above a whisper and void of anger. There was just sadness. " But are you really my mom? "

Elsa gasped.

" I am your mom Anna. " She states firmly, taking a step forward when Anna returned her attention the garden. " I'm your mom and you are mine as much as Olaf is. "

" You're just not my birthmom right? "

" I... " Elsa opened her mouth but the sharp look Anna was giving her left her speechless. Finding excuses was useless obviously, the girl would have none of it. Sighing softly, Elsa shook her head. " No, I'm not your birthmother. "

" Did papa know? " When Elsa nodded, Anna frowned. " Who else? "

" Your grandparents, your Godparents and your dad of course. "

" Oh that's great. " Anna said bitterly.

" You shouldn't be mad at them. I am the one who convinced them not to tell you. " Elsa admitted, guilt rising within her as she watches how the truth was slowly tearing the girl's world appart. " Although at first, your dad didn't approve my idea to keep it from you. I should have known that the truth will come out eventually. "

" You're a lawyer. " A small chuckle left Anna's lungs, obviously meant to be sarcastic. " You should have known indeed, that the truth always comes out sooner or later. "

" I guess there is some validity in saying that I was hoping for the best. I just couldn't find the courage to tell you. Honey you have to understand tha- ""

" Why? " The girl looks up, her eyes pleading. " Why did you lie to me? Don't I deserve the truth? "

" I was scared that you would hate me, I was scared to lose you. "

Anna scoffed and glared at her mother. " Do you think I hate you now? Do you think I would hate the one who took me in when I was never hers to begin with? "

" Do you? " Elsa asked, anticipating the answer but it never came. The room went quiet once again and her heart clenched in her chest when Anna didn't answer. That's it. " Sweetheart, I just... I never wanted you to feel rejected or different. "

" I feel so many things right now that I don't know what I truly feel anymore. This is just so much to take. "

" I don't want to lose you. "

" No you don't but... have you ever thought for just one second that lying could make you lose me? " Anna asked. " Have you ever consider telling me the truth at some point? "

" I... " Elsa opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again.

Did she think about it? Did she consider telling the truth before? If she was being honest with herself, yes she considered it almost everyday. How many time was she on the brink of telling the truth to Anna? She never told her but she did consider it. But does it matter? The truth came out, and Anna knows. Will it make a difference now?

" I don't hate you. " Anna spoke again and Elsa was relieved to hear these words. Having her children hating her was the worst thing she could imagine. Maybe this was her second chance... but sadly, what her daughter said next only shattered her hopes again. " It's the fact that you lied to me that I hate, I can't take it. "

Elsa wanted to ask her what she means by that but before she could say a word, a knock on the door errupted. Their head turned towards the entrance to find Hans standing in the doorway.

" Daddy. " Anna whispered, her lips quivering as soon as she saw who was there.

" Oh Princess, come here. " Hans opened his arms to greet his daughter and Anna didn't waste her time to rush into her father's arms as a sob espaced her lips." I know honey, I know. "

" I was adopted dad, I was adopted! "

Elsa felt a tear running down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away. " I'm so sorry you had to learn like this. " She heard Hans say.

" I want to go home with you. "

Elsa furrowed her brows and her eyes met Hans's green ones as he looked at her over Anna's head. They both shared a knowing look before he gently leaned back. " Anna- "

" Tomorrow is the last day of school before spring break, we were supposed to spend time together. I want to go home now. " The girl pleaded.

Hans sighed. " We will spend time together, I promised you. But I just need to make sure that this is what you really want. "

" We need to talk more about it. " Elsa quicky said.

" There is nothing else to talk about, I understand why you kept the truth from me. I get that you were scared, I really get it but I need this. " Anna replied, pulling her face out of Hans's chest. When she saw the look in her mother's eyes, she looked down and blinked back the tears. " Let me go please. "

" You can't ask me that. " Elsa replied softly. " Not when you're like this. "

" Daddy please. " Anna looked back at her father. Hans hugged her again and glanced at Elsa who stood quietly in the center of the room. She was hurt, it's strange that after all these year, he could still read her. Even when she used to put on a show, he could easily tell when she was faking it.

Elsa sighed defeatedly as she stares at her daughter's back. She wanted to reach out for the girl and hold her in her arms like Hans is doing right now until her heart heals again. But Anna needs her space, she is sure that if she keeps her daughter from going, Anna will lock herself in her room. She doesn't want that.

Sighing, she walked over to Hans and Anna and gently took her daughter by the shoulders. Anna looked confused at first but Hans nodded at her reassuringly, encouraging her to look at her mother. Which she did. Elsa bent down and kissed her forehead, cupping her face between her hands.

" Go pack your bag baby, I need to talk to your father. " She simply said before she released the girl and walked out of the room with Hans following.

" Are you sure I should take her? " Hans asked once they were in the hallway and out of earshot.

Elsa snorted. " I thought that you would jump in joy because she actually asked for you. "

" You know I love to have her with me Elsa, even if I'm busy. I always find some times to spend with her. But Anna can't stand being away from you for too long, this is why I'm nit sure. "

" I know. " She rubbed her face as she ran her free hand through her hair. " But she is asking for you right now, she only wants you and I can't deny her that. If she wants me, I will be by her side in a heartbeat but now she is asking for her father. "

" I'm off duty, I can take her. I've planned to find Kate and give her a piece of my mind but my daughter comes first. "

" I'll take care of Kate. " Elsa said through gritted teeth. Just thinking about this woman made her want to punch a wall, she won't let her get away easily. " Just be there for Anna, maybe she will talk to you. "

" Of course. "

" And if she asks for me, call me. "

" I will and I'm sure she will eventually ask for you. "

Elsa managed a small smile at that. Let's hope... " I will call you tonight, take care of our baby. "

" Always. "

So that was 'Adopted' part 1. I have a problem with my internet, it's so frustrating. But I'll keep updating, don't worry.

What do you think of Kate? How was this first chapter? Please let me know what you think.

Till next time, peace lovely readers :D
