Elsa was awoken by the birds that were softly chirping outside her window. She yawned, stretching her arms, accidently punching her husband in the face.

"OW!" He sat up suddenly, rubbing his nose. He turned, glaring at her. "Why did you do that?"

She giggled, holding up a hand to her lips to hide it. "Ups, sorry!"

"Oh, you're in trouble now!" He pulled her toward him, turning them in such a way that she was trapped under him. She laughed and put her arms around his neck, tugging him closer. Just as he leant down to kiss her, someone knocked at their door. He groaned and looked at the door. "Seriously?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you your highnesses, but you have a meeting in an hour. Princess Anna and her family are already waiting to have breakfast in the dining hall." About 4 months had passed since her birth, and Princess Lucy was growing more every day.

Jack sighed and rolled on his side. And just when he thought it would be a fun morning. Elsa stood up and walked to their mirror, considering what dress she should wear. She decided on the midnight blue one. That would be fun; Jack probably wouldn't be able to concentrate the entire meeting.

Just as she was about to start making the dress, she frowned at her figure in the mirror. She turned sideways, one hand covering her stomach. Had she gained weight? She blushed self-consciously, trying to ignore her reflection. Maybe she should wear something else today… something that wasn't as tight. She walked over to her wardrobe, grabbing one of her old dresses, ignoring the corsets. She didn't want to wear those. The material was royal blue with small black patterns, and it reminded her of the one she wore when she was about 13.

Jack, who was already wearing his black suit and light blue snowflake shirt, frowned at her. "No ice today?"

Elsa shook her head, fidgeting slightly. She twisted the fabric of her dress in her hands, blushing nervously.

"Is everything okay?" He asked, concerned. Elsa didn't really get nervous. Ever.

She turned toward him and mumbled something.

"What was that?" He questioned.

"Well, it's just that… I sort of, oh I don't know, It's silly, I'll just stop talking now." She said, pulling her dress on over her head.

Jack gave her a confused smile, setting one hand on her shoulder. "Let's go then?"

She nodded in agreement and they walked out the door.

At breakfast, Elsa stared at her food, uninterested. It smelled horrid. Then she had an idea. "Do we have any honey?"

Anna looked at her sister, surprised. "You hate honey!" She said, passing her the Jar.

Elsa shook her head. "No, I don't." She unscrewed the lid and put it on her piece of toast.

Now even Jack and Kristoff were appalled. "Elsa?" Jack said.

"Yes?" She said, munching happily on her toast.

"That toast has ham and lettuce on it."

"So?" She said, taking another bite. "It tastes better like this."

"Right. Of course it does." Jack mumbled, looking away.

Elsa frowned at her toast. Something was missing. She looked at all the thing and something caught her attention. Perfect. She took the jar of pickles and put them on her toast as well.

Anna stared at her sister in disbelief. Usually she would eat something light, like fruit. But today, she decided to enjoy a ham-lettuce-pickle-honey toast. This was worse than her pregnancy cravings had been. Wait, what? Really? She eyed Jack and Elsa. They had been married 7 months, it was kind of to be expected. She smiled.

"Elsa? May I speak with you? Alone?"

Elsa frowned at her sister. "Sure, Anna. Will you excuse us a moment?" Jack and Kristoff smiled, both still a bit grossed out.

Anna pulled her sister along behind her excitedly. She led her to the empty library. Anna sat down, patting the space next to her.

Elsa eyes her sister warily and sat down. Anna being calm was never a good sign.

"Okay. I have to ask you something very personal now. Are you ready?" Anna asked.

She smiled. "Sure, Anna. What is it? I don't have any secrets from you, you know that."

"Well then. I know running a kingdom might make you fail to notice this, because it is oh so stressful and stuff. But-" She paused dramatically. "Everyone should be aware of themselves and their body. So, tell me sister, when was your last cycle?"

"Anna!" The Queen sputtered. "I love you, but I hardly think that that is appropriate!"

"Fine, don't tell me. But just think!" She said, crossing her arms.

Elsa frowned, trying to recall. Time flew by with all the things that were happening. First Princess Lucy's birth, then there had been a huge snowstorm, which she and Jack had dealt with, leaving them both strained for weeks. After that their stocks were running low, a problem that they had just recently fixed.

"What day is it?" Elsa asked her.

"Tuesday, April 23." Anna replied.

Elsa eyes grew wide. "APRIL!?" She shrieked. "ARE YOU SURE?"

"Whoa, calm down!" Anna said. "It can't be that bad."

Jack was starting to worry. "I'll go check on them, okay?"

Kristoff nodded, focused on his daughter.

Jack walked along the hall, wondering where they had gone. He poked his head into the library. There he saw them, sitting on the chairs. Elsa looked like she had seen a ghost.

She spoke in a whisper, "Anna, the last time was a week before Lucy's birth."

Last time? Last time what?

Anna gasped. "But that was… 4 MONTHS AGO! You're 4 months pregnant!?"

Jack froze. Elsa was pregnant? Oh. Oh.

She ran her hands through her hair. "I know! I should have noticed. I should have…" She trailed off, worry clouding her features. "What am I supposed to tell him?" She stared at her sister, tears forming in her eyes. "I can't! I can't do this, Anna! What if he-" She chocked back a sob. "What if he doesn't want to? What if he… Anna, what if he leaves me?" She sank to the floor, letting her emotions run free. She clutched her knees to her chest tightly.

He couldn't move. He could barely breathe, as he took in what was happening. Why was Elsa so afraid? He would never leave her. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He was unable to move a single muscle.

"Oh, Anna. I was going to ask you and Kristoff if Lucy was to be my heir." Anna stiffened.

Snow was falling, and had started to swirl around her. "I never thought this would happen! Jack is a spirit; he would outlive his own children… I fear he will leave me. It would be okay, just the two of us. I would grow old, and he would stay young. I wouldn't mind. But with kids? No. I can't do this!" She almost screamed. "I- I just CAN'T!"

Jack finally snapped out of his trance. He raced toward her, clearing a path in the storm. Anna stepped aside as he pulled his wife into a tight hug. "Elsa, oh, Elsa." He repeated over and over. Anna backed away slowly and left, wanting to give them some privacy.

Elsa clutched him like her life depended on it, crying and weeping into his shirt. "Don't leave me." She hiccupped. "Please, I'm so sorry. Please, don't leave!"

He pulled back "Hey, look at me." He said, softly, pulling her chin up, and she reluctantly met his eyes.

He looked angry and that just brought a new wave of tears into her eyes. "Don't be mad! Oh please, don't be angry with me! I didn't know! I swear, I…" She tried to break free from his hold.

But he didn't let go. "Elsa." His voice was firm. "I am not angry because of that. I am angry because you assumed I would leave."

She looked at him, confusion plain on her face. "You… You're not?"

"No! Elsa, I would never! I will never leave you. I promise." He tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "A child with you is the best thing that could ever happen to me! Aside from our wedding, of course." He sighed. "About the whole spirit thing… I'm not sure yet, but we will figure something out. We always do." He pulled her into a soft kiss. She smiled, all of her doubts instantly fading. She loved this man.

Almost 5 more months had passed and it could happen at any moment. Elsa was still working, despite Jack and Anna's protests.

She sighed and rubbed her eyes. She was really tired. She looked at the clock. It was nine pm. Seriously!? NINE!? Grumbling in frustration, she faced her husband. "This is your fault!" She complained.

"What is?" He said, looking up from his work.

"Me being hungry and tired all the time! I'm exhausted and it's nine! I haven't gone to bed that early since I was 10!" She said, throwing her arms up in frustration.

He chuckled and walked over to her. "Someone is being cranky." He commented, drawing her into an embrace.

"No, I'm not!" She grumbled again.

He smiled picked her up like she weighed nothing.

"I can walk you know!" She said, snuggling further into his arms.

"Really?" He raised an eyebrow and walked to their room.

She grinned as he laid her down on their bed. "I like this. It's like my own personal carriage."

He laughed and blew out the candle. "Join me?" She asked, yawning.

He knew he still had work to do, but Elsa always came first. He formed his suit into something more comfortable, Elsa doing the same with her gown. He lay down next to her, gently rubbing her swollen belly. "Any day now!" He whispered, excited.

She smiled at him. "I'm really happy." She said. It sounded kind of silly just to say that, but it was the truth. Her life was wonderful at the moment. Her little baby could arrive any day now, and she and Jack were closer than ever. He smiled at her. "Me too."

She turned on her side and felt his arms wrap around her from behind. They rested gently on her abdomen, their little baby. "I love you so much." He said, kissing her shoulder.

"I love you too." She responded, smiling as she fell asleep.
