Anna knew by the look on Elsa's face she had figure it out, it had been a well-kept secret, for months now. At first she thought the bruises were from all the summer yard work Anna had been doing, they were just small ones on her arms, where Elsa could see. Then they got bigger, uglier and more frequent. Now Anna was being released into Elsa's custody with a broken leg, bruised jaw and few more bruises on her torso.

"So how's the office?" Elsa asked through a choked up throat, she felt horrible. They had no parents to take care of Anna, even though she was 23. Elsa was living with her boyfriend Jack and they just found out she was one month pregnant.

"Good" she whispered, truthfully she hadn't gone for two days; Hans hadn't let her saying he wanted to 'work' on their relationship, what an idiot she had been. "In fact, will you be able to take me tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Elsa nodded eagerly wanting things to revert back to normal. "You go in at 9 correct?" she asked smiling through shed tears

Anna nodded squeezing her sister's hand.

-The next day-

Anna sat at her desk in the front of her small, very small, veterinary office. Living in Alaska did have its perks, for one, she could ALWAYS build a snowman. Then there were the cons, like the only appointment she had today was thirty minutes late. As soon as the thought crossed her mind the door blew open with the harsh winter wind. A man wearing snow like cloths and a dark brown St. Pyrenees entered slowly, shaking snow as they stepped.

The man was massive, built like ten mountains and almost as tall as the door frame. He was careful to shake off the worst of the snow onto her door mat and removed his face mask, revealing shaggy dark blond hair and two brown eyes that were rich and full, she let her eyes drift to his rosy cheeks and lips before his voice stirred her from the day dreaming. His voice was deep and intoxicating…what?

Anna's head snapped up sending her braids behind her shoulders. "Oh….im sorry what did you say?" she asked smiling embarrassed.

"Are you the vet?" He asked running a hand through his hair, freeing any loose snow.

"The one and only, you must be Mr. Bjorman?" Anna slid back from her desk and used a crutch to lift herself up, trying to avoid slamming her cast around the small desk. She came around slowly leaning on her crutch.

"Please, call my Kristoff. This is Sven" The man said patting the dog's head with affection.

Anna smiled up at him. "Well, Kristoff, usually I'd ask you to just wait out here, but he's an awfully big dog and I'm only half the woman I usually am. If you wouldn't mind"

"Of course" he said cutting her off, he knew that the second he saw her. She was the size of a stick, a really cute stick but she couldn't hold Sven down if he was a puppy.

She smiled and led them back through the door to a room about the size of a doctors examining room.

Without being asked Kristoff picked up Sven and settled him onto the examination table.

"So just a checkup? Or am I looking for anything specific?" Anna asked rummaging her draws her latex gloves.

"Well, we're out in the cold a lot and I think he may be getting some irritated skin from the snow." He admitted sadly petting his dogs head.

"Ummm, roll over?" Anna tried smiling at the dog, who seemed to understand her perfectly. The dog slipped to his side and showed the world his skin belly and she smiled patting him lightly. "What a good boy!" she cooed in her baby voice as she checked the skin. "Well you're right, he does seem a little irritated, but nothing to serious I assure you" she said seeing his owner's saddened face. "Nothing a little salve won't cure!" she turned around again hobbling a few feet to a cabinet. When she opened it she saw that her salve had been put on the forbidden shelf, more specifically the shelf that was above her reach.

Before she could ask she felt him behind her, reaching up for the salve with ease, his hand touched her waist and as much as Anna would prefer not to admit it, her head swooned. He was so strong; she had a thing for strong men.

"Sorry" he mumbled handing it to her politely. "I didn't think you would be able to get it."

She smiled taking the box thankfully. "Well with this boot it may as well be mountain climbing." She admitted.

"What happened anyway?" he asked watching her apply the salve to Sven's stomach. "It looks like you got your jaw pretty good too."

"Yea, I'm pretty clumsy" she admitted softly.

Sensing something was a little off Kristoff pulled away from the conversation. "So, this salve?"

"Right!" she said smiling again. "Apply it maybe twice a day until the redness goes down. If it gets more irritated stop using it and call my right away so we can try something else. I make this in my kitchen so there are no foreign chemicals that should have any adverse reactions." She smiled petting the dogs snout. "But just in case, I'll be in and out of the office for the next few dayss…" she grabbed a card while trying to complete her sentence and scribbled a second number on the back. "this is my personal cell number just in case of emergencies, oh and don't let him sleep on anything wet or dry for about a week, we don't want to irritate the skin while its healing, so always dry surfaces, preferably a blanket maybe."

"You make this yourself?" he asked examining the salve.

"Yes, it also doubles as Neosporin and chap stick. It's really for everything but it works wonders on sensitive skin, like on dogs." She was grinning like an idiot again, but she loved it when people asked her things about her salves.

"So, you're like a wizard?" he asked seriously looking at her.

She laughed and handed him the card. "Now, because you guys are first timers here I need you to fill out this paperwork about Sven's history." She said handing him a few sheets of paper. "Return it when you come back next week for Sven's checkup." She said petting the dog again.

"Alright Doc" he said opening the door as Sven bolted from the table and into the lobby, he held it open letting Anna through and was rewarded with a smile, it was a simple smile but it made Kristoff smile. Wait, Kristoff doesn't smile.

"So what do I owe you?" he asked reaching around for his wallet.

"Oh please, a little salve? Since it's your first time here we'll call it good." She said trying to situate herself back into her chair.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "I don't want to take advantage of you." For some reason the look in her eyes, it made him feel like the words he said meant the world to her.

She smiled a genuine smile. "Well, bring Sven around more often and we'll call it good. He seems like a great dog."

"You got it Doc" he said grinning.

"Anna"

"What?" he asked at the door.

"My names Anna"
