Princess Anna of Arendelle was sitting in her room reflecting about the past eight months. In that time frame, she had married her one true love, Sir Kristoff Bjorgman, a knight of Arendelle, an ice harvester, and the kingdom's Ice Master and Deliverer.

All of their closest friends took place in the wedding, except for the trolls, since they were rocks during the day. Because of that, they "wed" the couple when they visited them with the news of their engagement.

Since they married, Kristoff and Anna were only happier than they had ever been. Although they couldn't spend every single moment together, Anna did occasionally come with him to the mountains when he went to harvest ice. Also, they always tried to have private romantic evenings together two to three times a week.

By now, however, Anna was beginning to pay more attention to how strange she felt. The first thing she noticed was that her menstrual cycle was late. Anna wasn't always very good at keeping track of it, so she brushed it off about four weeks ago when it didn't come. But now she noticed that it still hadn't arrived.

Another thing she noticed was that she had been getting sick on and off for the past couple of weeks. Every now and then, she became nauseous in the mornings and had to rush to her bathroom to vomit. She also tried to go to bed at a reasonable time at night in order to feel more awake the next day. But she constantly had trouble falling asleep at night, so she still felt exhausted and low on energy by the next morning. Lastly, while she had tried not to let her diet get out of control with foods like chocolate, she noticed that she was putting on weight without a logical explanation!

Feeling that she had no other choice, even though she was nervous about it, Anna asked Kai and Gerda to bring in Arendelle's physician, Honoratus Bonnevie. She had not told Kristoff or Elsa about this, since she wanted to learn her problem firsthand before getting them involved. So she asked Gerda and Kai not to say anything to them, either, since she also wanted to tell them herself.

Anna was waiting in her room reflecting on all of this when she heard a knock on her door. She jumped up from her bed and rushed over to the door.

"Hello, Princess Anna," the man who could only be Dr. Bonnevie said to her as soon as she opened her door.

"Hello, Dr. Bonnevie." Anna gestured to the inside of her room. "Please, come in."

"Thank you." Once he stepped inside, Anna closed her door. "So," he began, "what can I do for you today?"

"I feel I need an examination, because I don't know what else to do."

"About what? Do you feel sick at all, Princess Anna?"

"A little, yes. I noticed that my cycle is late for the second time, I occasionally get nauseous in the mornings, and I seem to be gaining weight unexplainably, even though I'm not gorging on chocolate or less-than-healthy foods. This seems to have been occurring every now and then for…about six to eight weeks."

"Hmmm, very interesting," Dr. Bonnevie said slowly. He took off his glasses for a moment to clean them, while appearing to be in deep thought to Anna. Once he placed them back on his face, he asked, "Princess Anna, would you mind laying down on your bed and letting me examine you around your abdomen?"

"Of course, but what is the purpose?"

"I'll tell you shortly," the doctor answered. After Anna climbed onto her bed, the doctor put on gloves and began poking his fingers all around her stomach, like he was searching for something deep within her body. Although Anna felt slightly uncomfortable with him touching this part of her body, she knew that Dr. Bonnevie knew what he was doing.

After a few minutes, Dr. Bonnevie removed his gloves and went to Anna's bathroom to wash his hands. When he returned, he smiled at Anna. "Well, my lady, I believe I have determined the answer to your problems."

Sitting up on her bed, Anna asked, "And what is that?"

"Princess Anna…you are pregnant!"

Anna's eyes widened, feeling her heart beat at a faster pace than usual. "W-what?" she stammered.

"You are pregnant, my lady. Congratulations to you and to Sir Kristoff!"

Anna felt stunned, more so than when Hans revealed to her that he never loved her, though she felt that her feeling of shock this time around was in a much more positive way. Not wanting to sound rude, she exclaimed, "Well, thank you! Thank you so much, Dr. Bonnevie!"

"You're welcome, Princess Anna. I suppose I will now be seeing you every so often to make sure you and the baby are doing well as it develops. Before I leave, I wondered if you have an idea of how you will tell your husband and sister."

"Oh, no, I have no idea just yet. Once they know, everyone else in Arendelle will need to know."

"Well, just don't wait too long, my lady. You are in your first trimester, so it won't be too long before you have a visible baby bump." He gestured to Anna's stomach, and she nodded in understanding. As he headed towards her door, he said, "I will be in touch…and congratulations once more."

"Thank you once again," Anna replied, and the doctor gave a slight bow to the princess before he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Almost immediately after Dr. Bonnevie left, Anna sat back down on her bed and immediately started crying tears of happiness. Since she was young, she had dreams of finding true love with a man and having children with him. Now here she was, happily married to Kristoff, the greatest love of her life, and now she was with his child, feeling that her lifelong dream was finally complete.

However, at the moment, Anna was also feeling very nervous. When they first became a serious couple, she and Kristoff had discussed marriage and having children. Kristoff was initially unsure if he was well-equipped to be a father, given that he had limited contact with people growing up. But Anna assured him that, while she felt the same way, parenthood was not going to ruin their lives. Elsa also assured them that she would always be a part of their lives and help them whenever they needed it, especially if and when they ever had children.

Now during the first couple of months of their marriage, Kristoff and Anna discussed it further and felt more warmth to the idea, though they thought it might be best if they waited a year to have their first child. Since Dr. Bonnevie had told her that she was about eight weeks into her pregnancy, it meant that she became pregnant after the first six months of her marriage. It made her hope that Kristoff would not get mad at her because they didn't wait longer; additionally, by the time the baby would come, they would still be married for over a year.

Anna also couldn't help feel a little insecure and afraid about her pregnancy, since she and Kristoff were approaching 21 and 24, respectively. It made her wonder if she was still too young and not emotionally and physically ready for the demands that would come with being a parent, with the same applying to Kristoff. She wanted them to be the best parents they could possibly be, but also to make sure that Kristoff knew that he had to have a hand in helping her with the responsibilities of their baby and not leave all of the work to her.

Anna was so deep in her thoughts that she almost didn't hear a knock at her door. Since Kristoff was out harvesting ice in the mountains, she knew there was only other person it could be. "Come in, Elsa," she called.

The Queen of Arendelle entered the room, with Olaf close behind her. Both immediately noticed how red Anna's face and eyes were, which had come from her crying, so Elsa instantly realized that Anna had been crying.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Elsa cried out in concern, which caused some ice to appear on the walls of the room. Trying to stay calm, Elsa asked, "Why are you crying?"

Anna sniffled while she wiped the tears from her face. "Well, I had Dr. Bonnevie come over here a little while ago-"

"Why?" Olaf interrupted. "Do you feel ill?"

"I felt sick, yes, in fact, I've felt sick on and off for the past few weeks. I thought it would go away permanently, but when it didn't, that's when I called for Dr. Bonnevie."

"So what did he say about you and your illness?" Elsa inquired.

"It's actually wonderful news." Anna took a deep breath, then confessed, "Elsa…I'm pregnant."

Elsa's eyes suddenly widened in shock. "Y-you are?" Anna simply nodded as tears in her eyes began to form again. Elsa quickly rushed over to Anna and grabbed her, forcing her to stand up as Elsa tightly pulled her into a hug. "That is wonderful! Congratulations!"

"Hooray!" Olaf cried and jumped in joy. Then he suddenly stopped. "Um, exactly what does that mean?"

The sisters laughed. "It means she's going to have a baby, Olaf."

"A baby? Hooray! Babies are so cute; it'll be fun having one in the palace!"

"I'm so excited that I'm going to be an aunt! So how far along are you?"

"Almost eight weeks."

"Well, it won't be too long before your baby bump starts to show. You better tell Kristoff and soon. Do you know how you're going to tell him?"

"Well, I want to tell him in a very special way. You see, ever since I was little and wanted to have children, I thought of exactly what I wanted to do and what I would say to let my husband know when we were going to have a baby. I've dreamed about it around a million times…" Anna smiled widely as she wore a dreamy look on her face. "Now it's gonna come true."

"Awww," Elsa said. "So what will you do?"

"I want to tell him over a romantic candlelit dinner. Do you think it would be all right if he and I had dinner in our room tonight?"

"Of course you may. This is a very big deal for you, so you deserve to have time to yourself. I'll go ahead and tell the chef to get started on your dinner. What would you like?"

"Pinnekjøtt with swede puréed and potatoes."

"As you wish. And Anna?"

"Yeah?"

Elsa smiled widely and hugged her sister once more. "Congratulations again. I hope Kristoff will be happy as much as you are."

"Thank you, Elsa."

A few hours later, Anna was all dressed up for her evening with Kristoff. The food for their dinner had been cooked and brought into their room. A table that held the plates of food (which were covered with lids to stay hot) and two chairs were also placed. There was also a lit candle on the table's center, along with a bottle of mead.

Because she was still very nervous about breaking the news to Kristoff, Anna kept breathing in and out to calm her nerves. She also repeatedly told herself exactly how she was going to carry out her plan. Although she was eager to get it over with, she was also ecstatic that her wish of having a baby, especially with her true love, had come true at last.

Soon enough, her door was opened by none other than Kristoff. "Hi, Anna," he said, grinning happily.

"Hi, Kristoff," Anna replied while running over to him. They wrapped their arms around each other as they hugged and kissed.

"Elsa told me that you had a special dinner planned for just us in our room. What's the occasion?"

"Well, I-I have some really great news."

"I'm dying to hear it. Just let me change my clothes first."

While Kristoff took some clean clothes from their closet and cleaned up in the bathroom, Anna started pacing back and forth again. Under her breath, she muttered, "Should I tell him now before we eat? He may get more curious if we ate first and I didn't tell him the news right away."

"Okay, I'm ready. So what did you want to tell me?"

"Um…" Anna hesitated, then bit her lip nervously. "Well, if you sit in your chair, may I sit in your lap for a moment to tell you?"

"Uh, sure," Kristoff answered, wondering just what Anna had to tell him to make her want to break the news this way.

Once Anna was seated and Kristoff had his arms wrapped around her, Anna put her hands around his neck and stroked his hair. "Kristoff," she began, "I love you so much and I have grown to love you so much more these past couple of years."

"I love you, too, Anna, and I think the same way."

"The reason I am telling you this is because I learned something today that will change our lives forever, but hopefully in the way that our love will grow stronger and last forever." Once she took a deep breath, she finally admitted, "Kristoff…I'm pregnant."

Immediately at a loss for words, Kristoff gently picked Anna up and put her on the ground as he stood up himself. Starting to break into a smile, he asked, "Really?"

"Yes," Anna replied, beginning to get teary-eyed again.

"I can't believe it," Kristoff said softly. Then he out a loud, happy laugh as he practically shouted, "I'm gonna be a father!" He picked Anna up and twirled her around just like he did two years back, when she gave him his new sled. But he was more careful with her this time, and they both laughed happily.

"So you are really happy, because I know we didn't plan this and we wanted to wait…"

"Who cares about all of that? Of course, I'm so happy." Kristoff stroked Anna's cheek as he finished, "I never thought a life like this could bring me so much happiness. Thank you for making me a father, Anna."

Anna felt a few of tears finally fall down her face. "Thank you for making a mother, Kristoff."

Kristoff leaned in and gently kissed Anna's lips, then they shared a loving hug. Once they finished kissing, Anna asked, "What do you say we have a toast to this?"

"Most definitely." Kristoff walked back over to the table and unscrewed the cork from the bottle of mead. Then he poured it into the two glasses and gave Anna hers while he held his own.

"To us."

"To us," Kristoff repeated as their glasses clinked together. "And to the start of our family.

Anna giggled, then she and Kristoff crossed their right arms and linked them together as they sipped their drinks. "Now let's eat."

"Absolutely!" Kristoff exclaimed. But before they sat down to eat, Kristoff took Anna in his arms again as he started kissing her passionately. Because he was once a gruff and tough loner, Kristoff could not believe how much his life had changed for the better since he met Anna. Never thinking that they could be so happy together, he was only looking forward to the birth of their first baby.

Yay, the story for Anna's pregnancy is finally here! To try to maintain consistency with the Norwegian culture of the film, I included a few specific things in the story. First of all, Honoratus Bonnevie was a real Norwegian physician. Although he died in 1811, I decided to use his name for the physician who determines Anna's pregnancy. Next up, the meal that Kristoff and Anna eat is a real meal among Norwegian cuisine. Pinnekjøtt is a main course dinner dish of lamb or mutton. It is typically served with potatoes and swede purée, the latter of which is a root vegetable, much like a turnip.

Outside of that, when Anna plans to reveal to Kristoff that they are going to have a baby, I drew inspiration from the same kinds of moments from I Love Lucy and Full House, with the romantic dinner and the woman sitting on her husband's lap to tell him the news. However, in both shows, interruptions occur that prevent the woman from telling her husband when she wants to tell him. I hate when things don't work out the way you plan, so I wrote this story so that no interruptions would occur when Anna wants to break the news to Kristoff.

This is the first planned chapter in a short series that take place over the months of Anna's pregnancy. So there will be two more stories for this series, but I'm not gonna say what they are! Enjoy this chapter and wait for the next ones to come!
