Here's another! So sorry I took so long! My family has been sick. But I've got some Anna/Kristoff for you in this one!

Chapter 8 – Waiting
Anna and Kristoff had finally persuaded Elsa to come into Kristoff's room and rest, not that it did much good. She paced back and forth in the room, and left trails of ice wherever she went. The two had never seen her so worried! Anna rapped a blanket around herself and Kristoff, for it had to be at least thirty degrees in the room.
Elsa huffed loudly. "What is taking so long? They should have been done by now! What if something's happened?"
"Elsa relax! Rapunzel is the best doctor I know, she'll take good care of Jack," Anna said.
"I-I know she will. It's just—damn it, Anna this is all my fault! I-I just can't seem to stop hurting people!" Elsa plopped onto a chair, put a hand on her head, and sighed.
Anna and Kristoff exchanged glances.
Wow, Elsa never swears! She is really upset! Anna thought. "Elsa, how could this be your fault?" she asked.
Elsa looked up. "When the Deathwatch came, Jack ran down from the hill to try and save me. I was just going to use my powers but—" Elsa stopped, not wanting to reveal too much.
"So...why didn't you use your powers?" Anna was curious about how Elsa had been more reserved with them lately. First the ice with Rapunzel, now this, she thought.
"B-because…never mind!" Elsa put a hand on her temple, took a deep breath, and let it out. "I need to go relax before I freeze the place. Tell me the minute they finish. I'll be in my room." Without another word, she walked out the door.
"Dang. I have never seen Elsa like that!" Kristoff said, sitting on his bed.
"Me neither," Anna replied. "She would only be that worried about you, me, or a close friend."
"Well then, she must really like that guy!"
"Oh, she does! I have never seen Elsa stutter! Elsa. Stuttering! Does that ever happen?!" Anna said, in the dramatic way only she could.
"No. Definitely not." Kristoff answered.
"Yeah, she stutters all the time around him!"
Kristoff chuckled. "I'd love to see that!"
"Oh, you will! When Jack gets better, I have a plan!" Anna said, with a devious smirk.
Kristoff put a hand on his face. "Oh no! It's another Anna scheme!"
"Hey! Not all of my ideas are that bad!" Anna said, defensively.
Kristoff removed his hand and smirked. "Oh yeah? Prove it."
"Okay," she said nonchalantly.
Anna walked over to Kristoff, and put her hand on the back of his neck. Kristoff closed his eyes and puckered, assuming he was going to get one of Anna's nice, soft kisses.
Then, Anna pushed him onto his back. Kristoff opened his eyes in surprise. But before he could say anything, Anna bent down and kissed him passionately. Kristoff sighed in pleasure and rapped his arms around her. Anna's tongue brushed his bottom lip, as if asking for entry. Kristoff didn't hesitate. They both explored the other's mouths, and pulled each other closer. And Kristoff thought he could definitely get used to this.
Elsa strode into her room and shut the door behind her. Her hands were balled into fists, and her teeth were clenched.
Time to let it go! Elsa dropped to her knees and slammed her fists into the floor! Her power irrupted into the room and it was covered in snow, frost, and ice. Then Elsa's hands relaxed and she slumped against the door.
"Oh, dear God, please help him to be alright! I don't know what I would do without him!" Tears streamed down her face, and the temperature dropped even more.
Anna suddenly pulled away from Kristoff, and he whimpered, not wanting to stop.
"I'm sorry Kristoff. I've got to stop before I go too far." Then she smirked. "So?"
Kristoff frowned. "Okay, I admit it. That was definitely one of your better ideas."
"Ha! Told ya!" Anna tickled him behind his ear and kissed him again.
Kristoff gave a lovesick grin. "I love you," he said sweetly.
Anna smiled back. "Aww, I love you too!"
It had been almost an hour, and Anna still hadn't informed Elsa of anything.
Elsa was worrying, and decided to go back to the lower levels. She tried to thaw her room before she left, but just couldn't summon any love. She was currently too sad. So, leaving the room is it was, Elsa hurried down the stairs.
When she walked into Kristoff's room, him and Anna greeted her, and said that Rapunzel still wasn't finished. And, thankfully for Anna and Kristoff, Elsa didn't catch them making out.
Anna asked Kristoff to tell her about his latest Ice Master and Deliverer expedition to pass the time. So he began to tell the story, and though Elsa normally loved hearing about his adventures, this time, her mind was elsewhere.
The wait seemed like forever to her, but finally, everyone heard a nock at the door. Elsa leapt out of her chair and opened it.
Rapunzel stood in the doorway and said, "Hi Elsa."
"Rapunzel, is Jack alright? May I see him?" she asked anxiously.
"Yes you may, but he's resting, and probably won't be able talk to you for a while," she responded.
"That's alright." Elsa said, eager to see him again.
So Rapunzel walked into Jack's room with Elsa close behind. There on the bed he lay, very well bandaged. His arm was in a sling, his shoulder was wrapped up, and so were his ribs. Jack's head was also wrapped in cloth, and Elsa could still see some blood from his wound. She walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. Then looked over at Rapunzel.
"How did it go?" she asked.
"Well, at first, I was very concerned that he would have nerve damage, and…possibly wouldn't make it," she responded.
Elsa's eyes widened.
"But...in the end, everything turned out alright. His ribs will heal in time, and so will his shoulder and head."
Elsa sighed. "That's good. How long will it take for him to recover?"
"Well, I'd say a good six to eight weeks, just to be safe."
Elsa nodded. "If I know him though, he is not going to stay in bed for that long."
"That's a good point. Somebody's going to have to watch him. I would, but I'm afraid I have another patient that needs me back in Corona," Rapunzel said.
"I'll stay with him," Elsa said. "It was my fault he's in this mess."
"Are you sure, Elsa?"
"Definitely," she responded confidently.
"Alright. He's all yours." Rapunzel put the last few items back in her medical bag and walked towards the door. Before leaving she turned around and said, "If you need me, just send a message."
"I will."
Rapunzel turned to leave but Elsa grabbed her arm. "Rapunzel…thank you."
She smiled. "You're welcome, cousin."
There it is! Thought I'd make you wait 'till the next chapter to see Jack wake up. Hahahaha!
