At six months, Anna was beginning to feel the real downs pregnancy came with. She had lost almost all of her usual bubbliness, now replaced with a constant urge to nap. It seemed every ten minutes she had to go to the bathroom and her feet were swelled, to the point they looked like munted potatoes on the ends of her legs. Nonetheless, she walked and ignored the pain, arm in arm with Kristoff through the town square.

"Are you sure you don't want to sit down." He asked her in a concerned manor.

She smirked and reassured him, "I'm completely fine. Now let's get something to eat." She dragged him over to one of the small cafés across from them, choosing a small table out the back that looked over the mountain peaks. Kristoff pulled out a seat for her, making sure it was far enough so Anna could easily slide herself and her giant stomach in comfortably. Although, she complained she looked like she had swallowed a giant watermelon from time to time, Kristoff loved the sight of his wife at six months. She seemed so ready to be a mother.

"What do you feel like?" He asked sitting across from her. Anna picked up one of the menus from the center of the table and gazed up and down, contemplating all of the tasty, hot food she could be devouring in a short time. She looked up from the sheet and furrowed her brows together. "Do you think they could make a plate of hash browns and cheese, with the chocolate gratings they usually put on their desserts?"

"You have got to be kidding Anna. Potatoes, cheese and chocolate, I thought your cravings were way over already." At the sight of her rolling her eyes, he shook his head and smiled. "I'm sure they can whip something up for Arendelle royalty."

She giggled and rested her chin on the table, her arms folded as she looked up to his amber stare. "What are you hungry for Kristoff?"

"I'd say you, but your libido is as dead as a doornail. I guess I'll have the same, just without the chocolate." Her eyebrow raised itself, questioning his move of insulting her. It wasn't like he didn't have good reason to say it, she'd been avoiding even just the topic of sex lately. When he would run his fingers up her thigh teasingly in bed at night, she'd snap at him to quit it, shewas trying to sleep. If he hinted the smallest seduction in his eyes over the dinner table, she'd grumble and excuse herself to go to the bathroom. Every other topic was fine, it was just, well, sex.

"What you mean, my libido is as dead as a doornail? I'm always up for it." Anna remarked.

Kristoff chuckled. "No you're not. I'd just blame it on pregnancy, so chill Anna."

"No, I will not chill Kristoff. I am perfectly up for anything. Just because I'm heavily pregnant doesn't mean I can't have-" she was beginning to raise her voice and cause a scene. Like a moth to a flame, people around them started to stare. It probably wasn't the best to have the kingdom of Arendelle knowing how much their princess was up for sex during her pregnancy. Kristoff glared at her, as if to say, everybody is watching us so hush up till we get home. They spent the rest of their lunch in silence.

"I'm not letting what happened at lunch go." Anna stated with her arms crossed tightly, as she strode into their bedroom. Kristoff followed and took her hand, so she spun to look him in the eyes. "Talk about it with me then."

"Kristoff," she backed up and sat on the edge of their king bed, patting the spot next to her for him to join her. "We need to talk about this."

"Shoot."

Anna took a heavy breath and shut her eyelids. "If you think that I'm avoiding sex because I'm pregnant, you're completely wrong. If anything I'm even more desperate for it than I ever have."

"Then tell me what's holding you back."

"Take off your shirt Kristoff." He knitted his brows together confused. "Just do it." He did so, peeling off the thick layer, unveiling his pasty skin that had almost never seen the sun's rays. But it wasn't just pale skin anymore. Scars were everywhere, from the minor ones on his side, to the large, wide strip that ran from his rib cage to where his waistband sat. It shocked Anna just looking at it. "Do you see what I mean? It hurts me every time I glance at them because I get reminded that I could have lost you that night."

"Anna, things like that were bound to happen sometime rather than later. It's an occupational hazard." He took both of her hands in his and rubbed warmth into them. "I'm not leaving you and our baby ever. Please stop worrying about it."

Tears began to pool in her eyes looking at his face, so when he saw this Kristoff seized her body in his arms, resting his chin on her hair as she sobbed quietly into his skin. "Shh," he ran his fingers smoothly up and down her side, trying to calm her. "I'm here. Nothing's making me leave, because I love you and our baby so much. Just please stop crying."

Anna managed to piece sentences little by little. "I… I'm sorry. I was scared and you had just started walking again…"

"Anna, shhh. It's ok."

She calmed down after almost an hour of Kristoff rocking her gently against her chest, every once in a while reminding her of his presence. They had gotten into more comfortable clothes and decided to head in to bed earlier than usual. Under the sheets and layers of cozy blankets Anna shuffled herself into Kristoff closer. "You know the baby is supposed to develop its hearing around now?" she whispered into his still bare chest. He looked into her eyes and grinned. "Really?" Anna nodded, softly smiling as Kristoff pulled himself above her body. He planted a kiss on her the center of her belly and murmured into the fabric. "Hey little one. You're mommy says you can hear our voices now. I was wondering if you liked the sound of mine." Anna dug her fingers into his messy blondeness, warmth flooding her heart as she looked at him below her, until she suddenly yelped aloud.

Kristoff jerked his head up, his eyes alarmed. "Did I hurt you?"

Anna shook her head. "No, Kristoff. You didn't do anything." She paused for a moment before beaming and planting a kiss on his the top of his head. "I think the baby just kicked."

Without hesitation he had placed his palms back on her belly, kissing the velvet fabric in confetti like formation. "Please kick again for me baby." He waited for a while, until he felt the gentle thud of two tiny feet once more, still making him grin like a madman. He laughed and began to speak again. It was nothing in particular, just little pieces of information, about Anna and him and everyone else around them. He talked about Arendelle and how beautiful it was and was overlooked by two of the prettiest sisters he knew.

Anna smiled even deeper herself when he began to tell how they met. "I didn't like her at all when we first met. She talked too much and was too persistent. Still is." She smacked his chest playfully and chuckled. "But then she forced me to help her find your aunt, even though I didn't want to at all. In the process she broke my sled and almost torched me to death, but as we continued to journey, I fell in love with her slowly. I would have confessed it to her there and then if she wasn't already engaged. I didn't show it but I couldn't stand the sound of this guy when she talked about him. Needless to say he wasn't a good guy, and caused a lot of people to get hurt. But everything worked out and here we are together."

Anna was speechless, her mouth slightly parted and her eyes filled with content for her husband below her. "Come 'ere." She giggled. He made his way up to her awaiting lips, holding the kiss for a moment, before pulling back and staring into her ocean like eyes. "I love you." He said.

"I love you too Kristoff. You're going to be an amazing father."

He laughed softly. "Amazing father to a baby girl." Anna rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "I still don't understand why you want a girl so much."

"I don't know. They're just easier to handle. Well except for you, I imagine you were a complete nightmare to control for your parents. "

Anna stuck the tip of her tongue out childishly. "I was an angel, what are you talking about?" he laughed at her remark and pulled her onto him, so there was nothing between them but the large mound of her belly. She nuzzled her nose into his shoulder and kissed the patch of tight flesh. "You wanna know why I wanted a boy Kristoff?"

"Why?"

"Because that night you were hurt all I could think of was you not making it till morning, and I thought," she took a shaky breath "I thought if the baby was a boy he could take after you, so I would always have a part of you."

"Anna," he marveled in a pained expression. "I'm not going anywhere."

"I know. It's just what I was thinking at the time." She kissed his cheek and snuggled herself back down into the sheets. "Good night Kristoff." He slung his arms around her and placed his head next hers, their bodies fitting like puzzle pieces. "Night Anna."
