After a few weeks of trying, it had finally happened: Anna was pregnant with her and Kristoff's second child, and she couldn't have felt happier. She had found out just a couple of days ago and had told Elsa and Kristoff, who were excited, but not all that surprised since Anna had told them that she had wanted another child.

But the rest of the castle staff had not heard the news yet because there was still one member of the family who had not yet been told: Joseff.

Joseff was still months away from turning three, so he still couldn't say many words and was not fully aware of the things that happened around him. Because of this, Anna was feeling a little bit nervous on how to tell him the news that he was going to be a big brother, not to mention how to answer any other questions he might ask, especially the one many parents dread: "Where do babies come from?"

Right now, Kristoff was out selling ice in the village square of Arendelle, while Anna was up in the castle in her room with Elsa. She was pacing back and forth while thinking about what to say, while Elsa quickly got hooked on watching Anna's routine until she said, "Anna, will you please stop pacing back and forth? I'm starting to get a crick in my neck!"

That shook Anna out of it. "Sorry, Elsa, I guess I just can't stop thinking about what to say."

"Anna, don't make telling Joseff such a big deal. He's going to have a little brother or sister, no big deal."

"Well, when Mama was pregnant with me, how did you take the news? You weren't much older than Joseff is now, right?"

"True, but it was such a long time ago that I don't remember so much. I'm not sure if I could even remember being an only child before you were born. I do remember when you born, though, that I was excited to see a new baby, even though there wasn't a lot you could do at first. But of course, when you got bigger, in time we became close playmates."

Anna smiled at Elsa. "I hope Joseff won't mind having a playmate when he gets older, even if there is a chance he'll have a sister."

"Look, again, don't make such a big deal out of this. Just be calm and tell him the news, you and Kristoff. And of course, I'll help you tell him the news, too."

"Would you?! That would be great!" Anna shouted excitedly. Then she threw her arms around Elsa and hugged her tightly. Elsa chuckled softly and hugged back.

Soon afterwards, their favorite snowman entered the room. "What's all the excitement here?" Olaf asked.

"Hi, Olaf," Elsa said.

"Olaf, hi!" Anna exclaimed. "Well, I'm trying to figure out a way to tell Joseff the news that…Olaf, I'm gonna have another baby!"

"Hooray! Another baby!" Olaf cried happily. "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"We won't know until the baby is born, Olaf," Elsa answered.

"Why haven't you told Joseff yet?"

"Well, it's a little different than the last time," Anna answered. "When I was pregnant with him, I only had to tell Kristoff and Elsa as part of the family. But now, with this baby, Joseff is involved because it means he is going to be a big brother, with a little brother or sister."

"Would he not like that?"

"I hope not. Not all children get excited when a new baby is going to be added to the family because that new baby needs a great deal of attention from the parents. This means that attention can be taken away from the other children for a while, making them jealous of the baby. Every time is different with every baby in every family, but we want Joseff to know that just because we'll love the baby doesn't meant we'll love him any less."

"It's part of why Anna and Kristoff want another baby now, Olaf. They want the baby and Joseff to be close in age like Anna and I are, so maybe they could be friends and playmates with each other."

"It would be nice to have more of that in the castle," Olaf admitted.

"Well, we're going to tell him tonight before he goes to bed," Anna said. " Would you like to be there when we tell him?"

"Of course!"

Later that night, it was almost time for Joseff to go to bed. At the moment, he was sitting on Elsa's lap as she was telling him a story, which was about the eternal winter. Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa each had their versions to share, and Joseff liked hearing all of them.

"…we opened the gates, deciding to never close them again, and all was right in Arendelle once again," Elsa said as she finished the story.

"Yay!" Joseff cheered, clapping his hands.

"Okay, my little prince, it is almost time for you to go to bed," Elsa said, then stood up from the chair, still holding Joseff in her arms.

"No bed. Not sweepy."

"Well, you may not be sleepy now, sweetie, but you're a growing boy who needs a lot of rest. If you don't get sleep now, you will be very exhausted later. When you get bigger, you won't need to sleep as much."

"Like you and Mommy and Daddy?"

Elsa laughed. "Oh yes, but it will be a long time before you get to be our ages!"

"And speaking of getting bigger…" a voice that belonged to Kristoff said, which was revealed when he and Anna stepped into the nursery.

"Hi, hi, Daddy! Hi, hi, Mommy!"

Kristoff gently took Joseff out of Elsa's arms while Anna said, "We all have something to tell you, honey."

"Okay, Mommy."

"Wait! Don't forget to include me!" Olaf's voice exclaimed, then he ran into the room.

"Olaf!" Joseff exclaimed and reached down towards his snowman friend.

"Hey Joseff!"

"Hug Olaf," Joseff babbled.

"I like to hug you, too."

Kristoff and Anna looked at each other, then Anna said, "Yes, you may give Olaf a hug, Joseff."

So Kristoff gently set him down and Joseff ran towards Olaf with his arms wide open. "I wove you, Olaf!" he cried out just as he wrapped his arms around him entirely. "You're my best fwiend!"

"And I love you and you're mine, too!"

Although the adults thought that what they were seeing was very sweet and cute, they decided to go ahead with what they wanted to tell Joseff. So Anna spoke, "Joseff, honey? We need to talk to you."

Joseff let go of Olaf and looked at his mother. "Yes, Mommy?"

Then Kristoff gave input with, "Joseff, you know that you used to be a baby, right?"

"I thought I was still a baby."

"Well, you are in a sense," Elsa said, "but you're not a little baby anymore. You're a toddler, which is the age when you are growing out of being a baby and becoming a little person, especially since you can talk and walk, which is something that little babies cannot do."

"Okay, Auntie Elsa."

"Well, we're telling you this because…" Kristoff paused, then finished, "Joseff, your mommy and I are having a baby."

Joseff looked at them, not quite sure what to say. "What does that mean for me?"

"Well," Elsa began, "with your parents having another baby, it means that you will be a big brother with a little brother or sister."

"Is bwother a boy?"

"Yes, honey," Anna answered. "You're a boy, so you will be a brother. If the new baby is a boy, like you, it will be your brother. But if it is a girl-"

"Like you and Auntie Elsa?" Joseff interrupted.

"Yes. If it is a girl, it will be your sister."

"Is Auntie Elsa your sister, Mommy?"

"Yes, I am, sweetie," Elsa replied. "Your mommy and I are sisters, and because of that relationship, it is what makes me your aunt. Since you're a boy, that means you are my nephew."

"What do you call it if Mommy has a girl?"

"If Mommy has a girl, she will be my niece." Elsa smiled and picked Joseff up from the floor. "You are asking a lot of questions, Joseff. But it is a good thing, because you will need to know these things as you get older."

"When will the baby come?"

"Not for quite some time, son," Kristoff answered. "It will be almost half a year, maybe close to the time of your birthday."

"Why does it take so long? And where do babies even come from?"

Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff all exchanged somewhat nervous glances. Wanting to especially stay calm and cool, Elsa cuddled Joseff in her arms and looked him in the eye. "It's a very hard subject for us to explain to you right now, my little snowflake. One day, in a few years, when you are much older, the three of us will be glad to explain it to you. All right?"

"Ahhh…well, okay, Auntie Elsa." Joseff smiled, then wrapped his arms around Elsa's neck. "I love you." Then he brought his face back up and kissed her cheek.

"And I love you, my little prince," Elsa said as she returned his hug and kiss.

"So how do you feel about the baby?" Anna asked.

"Okay, I guess," Joseff answered. "But will you all still wove me?"

"Of course we will," Anna replied. "We all want you to know that this will be a big change for all of us, but me, Daddy, Auntie Elsa, and Olaf," she looked down at Olaf and winked at him, "will love you just as much as we always have. No one can ever take your place."

"Weally, Mommy?"

"Really, honey."

"Yes, really," Elsa said.

"You bet," Olaf replied enthusiastically.

"You better believe it," Kristoff said with a smile.

Just then, Joseff let out a yawn, prompting Anna to say, "And now, it is definitely bedtime for you." She took him from Elsa and gently set him into the crib. "Good night, sweetie." She leaned down and kissed him.

"Night, night, Mommy."

"Good night," Elsa said before she kissed him.

"Night, Auntie Elsa."

"Good night, son," Kristoff said before kissing him good night.

"Night, night, Daddy."

"Sweet dreams, Joseff," Olaf said with a wave.

From inside his crib, Joseff saw Olaf wave and waved back as he said, "Night, Olaf."

Okay, here is the start with my new series, when Anna is pregnant with Heidi! Now this series won't be exactly like "A New Royal Family Member" because I won't write every chapter with a new month up to Heidi's birthday. It's taking too long to even get to that leading up to Joseff's first birthday. This series will even include chapters of when Anna is pregnant with her, before giving birth. I'll kind of just be winging it as I go along, even including chapters that won't solely focus on Heidi at all, so I don't yet know how long it will be in chapters.

I don't know much about kids, so I don't know how accurate Joseff is with his behavior at this age or not. Feel free to give me advice or suggest chapters, but PLEASE be nice about it!

And how do you like the title? It refers to the phrase "And baby makes three," but we know that this family is larger than three people, so Heidi will make four...or rather five, since Elsa is still part of the family. :)
