maggie98: Still don't see the misunderstanding you are referring to as I don't consider Elsa misunderstanding the fact that Jack cheated. No the story isn't ending just yet. Still got a bit to go.

OoPoPcAnDy: Interesting idea. It's kind of what I'm trying to do for this story.

BlackIris: Interesting idea but I don't think I will write a wedding chapter as I've done it in other stories and I can't think of a way to be unique (I like to be original).

Guest (Banana): Awesome! Of course I got it, it was quite a sad moment.

Guest: Of course I want to visit England. It's cold wet and dark in New Zealand anyway (approx. 3/4 of the year) but maybe not polluted. Yes, New Zealand is nice and sunny at the moment. It's been nice. I actually think WE get the leftover fashion. You guys have amazing cool stuff. Aw, thanks, New Zealand would be lucky to have you if you decided to come here.

Brumby: Yep, a lot more.

TPATFan16: Ah thanks for clearing that up. I thought it would be something like that. I'll have you know you are talking to one of the biggest goody goods out there, so I am a little offended. If you want to get arrested and go to jail, that's fine. I'll be here, free as a bird, able to travel wherever, get good jobs. You can be a criminal in the low side of the world. I'll be living it up as a goody good. Besides being good is so much rewarding (I mean especially around this time of the year).

Chapter 21: Welcome Back Mon Amie!

Two Weeks Later

The last two weeks for Elsa and Jack were a bit difficult for them. As newlyweds, they wanted to spend a lot of time together particularly in the bedroom or just walking around holding hands but as they wanted to keep their relationship a secret until everyone was back in Burgess, it made that almost impossible. They had to invent code words for when they wanted to get together. So Elsa and Jack did a lot of 'laundry' together and went for an awfully number of 'walks' together. Elsa would be just sitting in her apartment and then Jack will walk in and declare that he was off on a walk. Elsa would agree and instantly drop everything she would be doing. Sometimes it would be the other way around. Elsa would be just randomly do thing and then declare she needed a walk or needed to do her laundry which Jack would jump up and offer to help. Although Jack had sometimes accidently misinterpret what Elsa meant by 'going on a walk', sometimes she would actually be going on a walk with Anna and Kristoff or be actually doing her laundry. It had been quite funny to see the look on his face though when he realised that she was going down to the laundry room rather than to his bedroom. However having midnight romantic rendezvous with Jack was certainty easy with Bunnymund not in town and thus meaning they didn't have to sneak around him as well as Anna and Kristoff. However it made Anna wonder why Elsa was always late coming home. Elsa had to make a numerous excuses from a midnight screening of The Lion King to having a desire for ice cream at one in the morning. Elsa wasn't even sure if Anna believed these excuses or not but she never questioned them.

Anna had interpreted all of Elsa's get togethers with Jack as attempts for Elsa to repair her relationship with Jack and didn't think it had anything romantic added to it. Anna still thought that Elsa had given up on a relationship with Jack and desired a more platonic friendship rather to a romantic one as Anna thought that Elsa was trying to move on from Jack. Of course everyone else was dense about the whole Jack-Elsa relationship. They probably all still thought that Elsa still hated Jack about something (they didn't know that the reason had been because he cheated on her while they were on a break). But so far, Elsa and Jack hadn't slipped up at all despite there being some near misses such Jack almost kissing Elsa before he went to work or Anna nearly walking on them while they were having a romantic bath together. But luckily the cat was not let out of the bag and Anna remained clueless that Elsa had married Jack in jail a couple of weeks ago.

Elsa was currently at the kitchen table along with Anna and Kristoff. Elsa was drinking a large cup of coffee while she watched Anna and Kristoff discussing their next appointment at the OBYGN. Elsa let out a long yawn and stretched her hands out.

"Why are you so tired?" Kristoff asked.

"Probably because she was out till three this morning," Anna said. She then turned in her seat to face her sister. "What were you doing by the way?"

"I was just…having a walk," Elsa said trying not to look Anna in the eye. She could never lie straight to Anna. She would feel really bad about doing it and then act all guilty which would be something that Anna would pick up on in an instant.

"At three in the morning?" Anna asked in an accusatory manner.

"Yes," Elsa said.

"In the pouring rain?" Anna asked.

Elsa then realised that it had indeed bucked down with rain the previous night. It would have made going for a walk a real mission. Elsa would have come back soaked.

"Y-Yes," Elsa said.

"Why?" Kristoff asked.

"I like the rain," Elsa said. "I find it very soothing."

"Aha," Anna raised her eyebrows. Elsa wondered if she was finally putting two and two together. Well it wouldn't matter if she did. Elsa and Jack had talked just the previous day and since people were coming together really soon, they had decided that their little secret should be shared amongst all their friends. Elsa was getting a little tired on having to keep her relationship with the man she loved from her the other people she loved.

Jack, at that moment, came into the room. Speak of the devil, Elsa thought as she smiled up at him. Jack did a little wink in Elsa's direction which thankfully neither Anna nor Kristoff picked up on.

"So I'm off to pick up Rapunzel and Eugene from the airport," he said.

"Oh good," Anna said. "Their fight should be getting in soon."

"Is there anything you need me to do while I'm out and about?" Jack asked.

"Not that I can think of," Kristoff said.

"Nor me," Elsa added.

"Great," Jack said smiling. "So I'll be back to see you all in about an hour, unless any of you want to come." He looked hard at Elsa when he said this. Elsa didn't have to guess what he had in mind.

"Sorry," Anna said. "But Elsa and I are going shopping for baby clothes and Kristoff had a dentist appointment in half an hour."

"Which I should be getting off to," Kristoff said. He gave Anna a kiss goodbye before he left the apartment.

"Well," Jack said. "I better follow him. I'll see you all at the bar later tonight then."

"Okay," Elsa and Anna said together.

Jack waved goodbye before he left. Anna turned to her sister.

"Shall we?" she asked.

"Okay," Elsa smiled.

Half an hour later, they were both at The Baby Factory browsing down the aisles looking at all the baby clothes. Elsa found some cute onesies for her future niece or nephew while Anna looked at little booties.

"So what were you really doing last night?" Anna asked.

"Dumping a body of my next victim," Elsa said. "I told you, I went for a walk."

"People don't take walks at three am."

"Say that to the people I saw walking around."

"Then those people were probably drunk or high," Anna said. "So, I'll ask again, what were you up to?"

"Walking," Elsa said very clearly and saying each syllable. "It's what humans do for exercise. You may not be very aware of it but it's when you put one foot after the other. It allows people to get from A to B."

Anna rolled her eyes. "Okay fine, if you do not want to tell me," she raised up her arms. "I admit defeat. Fine, you were walking out in the pouring rain at three in the morning despite risks and the fact that I know that you weren't doing that."

It was Elsa's turn to roll her eyes. She didn't want to say anything just yet, so she remained quiet. Anna would know everything soon and she would understand why Elsa had lied. So Elsa just contended herself with browsing the store. Anna, luckily, got distracted rather easily so wondering about what Elsa had done at three in the morning was soon driven out of her mind when she came across a whole new aisle of baby stuff. Anna arrived at the checkout counter with a whole trolley packed solid with baby things. Elsa wondered how Anna managed to fit so much stuff in one trolley. It was one of Anna's superpowers. The thing was, was that this was only the first wave. Anna was going to probably come back with Kristoff and Elsa to buy even more stuff.

Most people probably would have assumed that Anna bought so much stuff to take advantage of the sixty percent off sale that the store was currently having. If you assumed that, you probably didn't know Anna very well. She would have bought the same amount of items, if not more, if they were more expensive than the original price. Anna wanted to make sure that she had everything ready for when she came home from the hospital carrying her new baby. She was turning into one of those nervous first time mothers, although Elsa didn't blame her. When she had found out she had been pregnant, she had freaked out about what would have happened in the future. She knew that one conversation about it from Jack would have soothed all her troubles but wouldn't have stopped Elsa from freaking about how life changing a baby was.

Elsa and Anna got into their car after unpacking everything into the boot of the car. Elsa got into the driver's seat and backed out of the car park. The drive home was one in silence. Elsa liked the quiet. It allowed her to hear her own thoughts which were something quite uncommon growing up with Anna. Her thoughts drifted onto what it will be like when she and Jack finally tell everyone they're married. Anna would freak along with Rapunzel. Kristoff would probably be very confused as he had been kept out of the loop of the recent events (Jack confessing his love for Elsa, their kiss, the reasons which Elsa broke up with Theodore for and Elsa realising she wants to love Jack again) while Merida would be confused as she would be wondering why Elsa got back together with someone she hated (Elsa didn't hate Jack, she could never hate him, she had always loved him). Tooth would probably have a mix feeling of happiness and jealously as she had been the one who Jack had broken up with to get together with Elsa. Although she probably, along with Anna and maybe Bunnymund, be the least surprised out of everyone when Elsa and Jack tell their news. Elsa wasn't too sure on the rest. Jamie and Emma had been away for ages, travelling the world, so they had missed most of the excitement. The last time Elsa had seen them had been at her welcome back party. Eugene would probably act a lot like Kristoff would act. He didn't really know what had been going on which sort of confused Elsa. She thought that since Kristoff, Bunnymund, Jamie and Eugene were all Jack's best friends (and sort of formed their own version of The Marauders) that they would have the inside scoop on what had been going on. Well, apparently not as Elsa had only found out.

"Elsa," Anna's voice came suddenly out of nowhere and interrupted Elsa's train of thought.

"What?" Elsa snapped to it and looked around at her sister.

"That was our exit," Anna said. "What were you thinking about?"

"Oh just wondering about what the future will be like when the baby comes," Elsa lied, saying the first thing that came to her.

"Aw," Anna said as Elsa turned the car around. She rubbed her stomach which showed an obvious baby bump. "I often wonder that too. It will be great, won't it?"

"Of course it will," Elsa smiled at her sister. "It will be magical and wonderful."

"Excellent," Anna said. "Because that's what I think and Kristoff too."

Elsa smiled at her again while she took the right exit. Elsa drove the car into their apartment car park when they arrived at their apartment. Elsa helped Anna bring all their newly bought baby things into their apartment. They got a surprise when they entered the apartment.

"Surprise!" Rapunzel said raising her arms.

"Hey!" Elsa and Anna said dropping their bags. They gave both Rapunzel and Eugene giant bear hugs.

"So tell us about your trip," Elsa said as they sat around the kitchen table.

"Oh it was amazing," Eugene said. "Three weeks in Japan was really cool."

"And those little Japanese sentences you taught me were golden," Rapunzel said.

Elsa smiled. She had taught Rapunzel little phases such as 'where is the train station?' or 'where is…' and a few others. Elsa knew quite a few languages. Her first language was Norwegian before she had to learn English. Among English, Elsa knew French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, German and Russian. Elsa had started learning a little bit of Japanese and so she passed that knowledge onto Rapunzel.

Rapunzel and Eugene took it in turns to discuss their journey together. They got out their camera and showed them what felt like thousands of photos. Elsa felt a little jealous when she looked at the photos. She hadn't been to Japan since when she went the previous year. She had spent only a week in Japan before she moved onto Hong Kong. She didn't get to do half the things she wanted to do. She had crammed as much she could into those seven days.

"Don't forget," Elsa said. "We're all meeting at the bar tonight to celebrate everyone coming home."

"Oh great," Eugene said.

"I don't know if Jack knows," Elsa said. "So I'm going to go over and tell him."

"Okay," Anna said. She turned back to Rapunzel to continue discussing their trip in Japan. Rapunzel launched into some story about Eugene, a temple and a tiger. Elsa wasn't paying attention so she didn't know if she had gotten all the facts right.

Elsa wandered over to Jack's place and let herself in as the door was unlocked. She found Jack making what looked coffee. He grinned at her when she entered the apartment. She walked up to him and placed her hands around his neck. She leaned forward and gave him a small kiss.

"I should warn you," Jack said. "Bunnymund is here."

"Damn," Elsa said. "So no chance of a bedroom rendezvous?"

"As much as I would love to," Jack said, "and believe me I would never have pictured me saying no to you but I think Bunny would notice something."

"I see," Elsa said a little disappointed. "But tonight but be a little different after we finally tell everyone the truth."

"I'm kind of enjoying sneaking around a little," Jack said. "It feels quite fun."

"Yeah but do you really hate having to hide everything from everyone?" Elsa asked. "Having to lie to everyone about what we're up to? Not being able to hold hands in public or even kiss?"

"Now that you mention it," Jack said, "I do really want to acknowledge this. I want to be able to do all that. I want to take you out to dinner, be able to put my hand around you and cuddle on the couch. I want to be your husband."

Elsa smiled at him. "And I want to be your wife."

At that moment, Bunnymund emerged from his bedroom.

"Hello Elsa," he smiled at her when he saw her.

"Hi Bunny!" she said brightly. "So good to have you back."

"Thanks," Bunnymund said. "It's good to be back. Those boring corporate meetings were enough to make anyone quit."

"Try being in court," Elsa sighed. "One of my first cases involved prosecuting a guy who had been drink driving but he refused to pay the fine as he was adamant he hadn't been despite a blood test that proved he was twice over the legal limit."

"So and open and shut case win for you?" Bunnymund asked.

"Yeah," Elsa said. "It was just tedious trying to get something together for a case which should have had the guy pay the fine in the first place."

"What was the sentence?" Jack asked.

"I think he had to pay the fine and when he protested that," Elsa said, "he went to jail for a few days. It was something along those lines."

"Ah okay," Bunnymund said. "Well I better go get into the shower. I'll see you all tonight?"

"Absolutely," Elsa and Jack nodded together.

"Excellent," Bunnymund rubbed his hands together in excitement before he headed towards the bathroom. They soon heard the sound of shower going.

"So you wanna?" Jack said nodding his head in the direction of his bedroom. "Bunnymund can't hear a thing in the shower plus he likes to sing Cyndi Lauper songs."

"Really?" she said.

"Yeah, he does a mean Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," Jack grinned. "So can we?" he added in a flirtatious manner.

"Maybe later," Elsa teased blowing Jack a kiss before she left the room.

"You're killing me here," Elsa heard Jack shout before she closed his apartment door behind her. She let out a small giggle and headed back into her apartment.


Miles away in the hustling and bustling city of Oslo, Klaus Winters sat in the police department waiting for his turn to be seen. He had travelled on his private plane from Arendelle all the way to Oslo. In his hands were the files that Sonja had handed him not too long ago. He had done his own private digging to see if there was any truth to what he was reading. Initially he had thought that maybe Sonja was presenting him with information that she thought was important but may not be necessarily true. However after his team of private investigators found out that all of Sonja's information was true, he had been shocked. He had tracked her down and to his amazement had found her working for his own company. She had told him everything that she knew and it hadn't been a lot more than what she had told him when she came to see him. All she said is that Pitch Black had asked her to get the files for him and to send it to him. She didn't know anything further than that. She had come to her conclusions when she had read the file herself and Klaus was inclined to agree with her. Klaus was starting to think that there could be more to his brother's death than may what meets the eye.

The door opened and a man wearing a policemen's outfit came out.

"Mr. Winters?" he said.

"Yes," Klaus said standing up.

"The Chief Inspector is waiting for you."

"Excellent," Klaus followed the police offer up into the Chief Inspector's office. He had a grand office with large glass window that meant you could look out into Oslo and it was a fantastic view indeed. The Chief Inspector thanked the officer for bringing up Klaus and Klaus took his seat across from the Chief Inspector.

"Well now Mr. Winters," the Chief Inspector said. "What can I do for you?"

"Chief Inspector," Klaus said. "I would like you to reopen my late brother, Agdar Winters, and his wife, Idun Winter's, case."

"Reopen?" the Chief Inspector looked confused. He, of course, was quite familiar with the case as he had been the one working on it at the time.

"Yes," Klaus said. "Since the initial investigation ruled the deaths an accident, new evidence has come up."

"What kind of new evidence?" the Chief Inspector asked. For an answer, Klaus handed him the files. He flicked through them, his face changing expressions as he read it. He closed the files and placed them on his death. "Mr. Winters, this is all very interesting but freak storms happen all the time. Your brother and his wife were simply caught in one which caused them to send a distress signal. Their ship went down before any help could arrive. It's highly unfortunate but these kinds of events do happen."

"I do not believe it was just a storm that killed my family," Klaus said. "I would like you to investigate these new leads and a man known by the name of Pitch Black."

"Pitch Black?" the Chief Inspector looked confused. "Why and who is this man?"

"Pitch Black used to work for my company, Arendelle Industries but was fired by brother mere months before he died and he asked an associate of my to gather these files for him which all make me think he is involved. He does have motive and means."

"We can't go on a while goose chase," the Chief Inspector said. "I'm sorry Mr. Winters but we do not have the time, recourses or the manpower for something like this."

"May I remind you who makes annual donations to the police department?" Klaus said.

"You do but I still think-" the Chief Inspector said before Klaus cut him off.

"And I don't think Odd Reidar Humlegård (1), the National Police Commissioner, would like to hear about something like this," Klaus continued. "You see I play a lot of golf with him and during one round, I could expression my content at the police department."

The Chief Inspector looked a little livid but he composed himself.

"Very well," the Chief Inspector said. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you," Klaus said shaking the man's hand.

"Oh be sure to mention how helpful I'm being to the Police Commissioner, won't you?" the Chief Inspector said eagerly.

"Oh of course," Klaus said before he left The Chief Inspector's office.

A/N: First off, sorry about not putting this up yesterday, I was hanging out with a friend and got quite tired. Also, just would like to say that this is the first part of the next chapter as obviously the next chapter is a continuance of this. Also if anyone got confused by the title of the chapter 'mon amie' is French for my friend.

So Twas the night before Christmas here (because of the time difference, here in New Zealand we are ahead of the rest of the world in time). I am so excited for tomorrow. This shall be part one of two of my Christmas present to you.
