The start of my bigger story about the 5 Bjorjman children...PM me with any questions or requests!

Now Elsa distinctly remembered when her sister Anna said she wanted three children. She thought that was great, and she couldn't wait to be an aunt. Kristoff had agreed with his wife, and so it was a shock when they ended up with five Bjorgman royals running around the castle.
It happened gradually of course...
_
To both Kristoff and Anna's shock, Elsa had indirectly brought the topic of children up multiple times. Mentioning that she wouldn't mind having more than just Olaf waddling through the halls, or that she really enjoyed visiting the Orphanage when she had time.
Then there were the times when the queen directly asked her sister, 'Hey, so am I going to be an aunt anytime soon?' or, 'What are you going to name your future children?'.
Elsa surprisingly hadn't asked about it recently.
The queen had usually been quite observant, but she hadn't mentioned or noticed the loose dresses her sister had been wearing. Though Anna thought it was quite obvious, her sister's oblivion proved otherwise and because of this Anna knew she would successfully catch her sister off guard.
"Hey Els...I have a gift for you." Anna said to her sister as she sat down on the sofa in the library.
"What's up snow angel?" Her older sister replied as she glanced up from her book.
The redhead chuckled at Elsa's distant response, thankful the gift's contents would easily fit into the current situation. "Here Els, this one is much more interesting." Anna replied with a smile as she held out the purple wrapped box. Elsa gave her sister a suspicious look before hesitantly bookmarking her page and taking the gift.
"Anna, if this is one of your little pranks, I have a revenge one planned already." Elsa warned as she examined the box, holding it up to her ear and shaking it. The clunking of the book was the only noise heard to the queen's surprise.
"Just open it Els." Anna tried to hold back her excited grin, her normally fidgeting hands folded tightly in her lap.
Her sister sighed, giving Anna one more skeptical look before neatly unwrapping the box. The anticipation resulted in Anna's hands to start fidgeting. Kristoff had left two days ago to oversee the Ice harvesting, so the hand she normally would have held was absent.
The blonde opened the box curiously, reaching in to flip over the blue hardcover book. 'What in the world Anna?' Her brow lowered in slight confusion, 'A Guide to Being an Aunt'? Oh. My. Goodness.' only to be followed by a glass shattering squeal that even Anna was shocked by.
"Jeez Els," she cringed, before her sister grabbed her shoulders tightly and stared at her with those piercing ice blue eyes.
"Anna you better be serious about this, who else knows? Can I help decorate the nursery? What about the Baby shower? What about the announcement? April...June...August...October...December! It's going to be a Winter baby! Anna! I'm so excited!" Elsa rambled with the biggest grin her sister had seen in a long time. Anna couldn't help but to smile and embrace her sister tightly, the excitement easily contagious.

"Anna not to be mean or anything...but you're a little large even for being pregnant." Kristoff said awkwardly, his eyes widening as he realized how terrible that sounded. Normally his wife understood his social awkwardness, but with her moodiness... there was a possibility he wouldn't wake up tomorrow. He sat up from fixing his boots and hesitantly looked at his wife.
The sudden tilt of his wife's head as she mentally relayed the statement nearly made his heart stop.
Anna closed her eyes in disbelief and took a deep breath. Her cyan eyes suddenly opened with an intensity that made him shiver. "Kristoff...are you calling me fat?"
'There it is, you just had to say something Kristoff.' The Ice harvester moved his mouth in desperation for an answer that wouldn't set her off. " Anna, n-no of course not, you look beautiful. I meant-"
Apparently his efforts failed as she stood from their bed and sniffled, " Beautiful? BEAUTI-FULL? of course I look full! I'm PREGNANT! And apparently too fat for you!" She yelled, and luckily for Kristoff the closest weapon she could grab was a pillow from the seemingly infinite pile on her side of the bed.
Despite the fact it was feather filled, his wife's swing still managed to hurt as it whacked him across the face. "Ow, Anna. I never said-"
"Save it, go do something...away from me. I guess I'll just get ready by myself." She said in a passive aggressive manner that made her husband even more confused and frustrated.
"Anna you, what if you slip o-or need help with your shoes? What if you get sick?" Kristoff asked worriedly, suddenly regretful of his unthoughtful comment.
"Well you should've thought about that beforehand Kristoffer. Get me Matilda on your way out, at least she won't say I'm fat." Anna replied, sitting back down on the bed as she glared at him.
Kristoff sighed and nodded, following her instructions were the best route to avoid angering her any further. "Okay...I love you." He said softly leaning towards her for a possible kiss. She rolled her eyes in response and offered her cheek.
'That's okay too.' Kristoff thought as he gently pecked her cheek, "Iloveyoutoo," She grumbled quietly before turning towards the edge of the bed.
"But go, I'm still mad." Anna added, before Kristoff left for breakfast.

"Kristoff, where's Anna?" Elsa asked, worried about her sister's inability to complete certain tasks, or get around.
"Yeah, well I accidentally said she was large for being pregnant...so she barely spared my life." Her brother-in-law explained with a sigh, looking at her with hope for advice, or maybe a solution.
Elsa lowered her eyebrows in disbelief, "Okay I know you have...never mind. What did you mean to say?" She decided to ask, hoping it was the same idea she had thought herself.
"I think...I think we might be having twins." He said quietly as he emptied his mouth and looked at the Queen and smiled softly.
'My thought exactly' Elsa smiled back and nodded, "I think so too, I know pregnant ladies supposedly eat a lot, but she acts like she's eating for three...she's also incredibly tired all the time." She listed her supporting evidence, taking a sip of her tea. *But that's none of my business*
"Anna's probably going to be here soon so I'll talk to her. Don't worry Kristoff, I feel like it won't be long before she lashes out on me. We can get through this together." Kristoff smiled in reply, his eyes thankful as he finished the last bite of his toast.
"Thank you, okay I should probably go...there's alot of sharp utensils in here she could throw at me." He waited for the Queen's nod of approval before hesitantly leaving his seat. His brown eyes widened as the door opened for his wife.
"Morning Els!" She greeted happily, a bounce in her step as she approached the table.
Kristoff took that opportunity to quickly slip out of the dining hall, waving to the queen before the door shut. "Good morning Snow angel. How are you feeling today?"
"Better than yesterday so that's good..." Anna sat in the seat next to her sister, who was at the end of the table. "I'm really craving sauerkraut right now, it probably sounds ridiculous."
Ew, Anna your cravings sound ridiculous' The queen shook her head and tried not to laugh.
"No Anna it doesn't, I'm sure sauerkraut would be a great addition to an open sandwich, I'll ask for you." Elsa reached for her sister's hand and smiled before waving one of the servers over.
"Frank, may I please request some sauerkraut...or pickled cabbage? Whichever is readily available." Frank smiled and nodded, bowing when he left toward the kitchen.
"Thank you Els, how are Queen Maxine and her sister?" The question caused a notable blush to appear on the Queen's cheeks. Within the past two years Elsa had uncovered strong feelings for Queen Maxine of South Holland. She had a younger sister, Queen Margaret of Saalborg, who was pregnant with her first child, like Anna.
"Shhhh, I'll tell you later. We can go to my study after breakfast." Elsa whispered, her blue eyes glancing around the room at the waiting servants. Being lesbian was something she had just recently accepted, thanks to Anna's encouragement. However she felt safest keeping it a secret for now, wielding powers and liking females... as well as being a queen? It was probably better that way.
Anna nodded, smiling at the blush on her sister's face.

After trying not to gag at her pregnant sister's cravings (smoked salmon with egg, and sauerkraut ...and chocolate on top) Elsa led her sister towards the stairs. Anna smiled at the sight, after month 5 Elsa refused to let her walk up or down the staircase, the most extreme precaution she had taken was having her bedroom temporarily moved to the first floor.
"Don't get excited Anna, I'm not allowing you to walk up the stairs." The Queen quickly asserted, only to receive a heavy sigh in response. She offered a blue clothed arm to her little sister and led her to the side of the staircase.
Knowing Anna hated the protective rules she lightly tapped the the floor with her toe. This formed a rectangular sheet of ice covered by snow to prevent slipping.
"Trust me, this is much more exciting than stairs." Elsa assured as she gracefully and gradually lifted her hand upwards. To Anna's amazement the sheet turned into a moving platform, gently depositing them on the second floor.
The redhead chuckled at the raised eyebrow and smirk her sister gave, unable to deny how cool that had been. "Okay yeah, that was awesome. Let's go."
Anna pulled her sister with a surprising amount of force as she led the way to Elsa's study.
