AutumnEve: Well the baby's gender was decided way in advance. I'm not going to say but you can tell based on my previous stories. Oh Pitch wants a boy because of the rules of succession which is before it was recently changed boys came before girls in the line of succession.

WickedMagic: Nice name! I've already picked the baby's name plus I couldn't use your name as it's Welsh and Elsa is Norwegian so the name will be at least Scandinavian.

BlackIris: The baby's gender was decided way in advance. I'm not going to say but you can tell based on my previous stories if the child is going to be a boy or girl.

MidnightRose: Okay Pitch's plan broken down for you based on what I have revealed. Pitch is using Fellen to take control of Arendelle (as he wants revenge on Elsa). Once he has control of Arendelle he will use Elsa's powers to expand his empire. Okay the bit with Arvid and Pitch was about Pitch realising that Elsa having a child could be dangerous if its a boy (based off the rules of succession as in those days boys came before girls in the line of succession) as he wants his child to be the heir to the kingdom. If Elsa has a boy then that child since that child will be the next in line and the future King of Arendelle which stuffs up Pitch's plan on having his own child as the future ruler. However if Elsa has a girl and Pitch has a boy with Elsa, then his plan isn't ruined. So Pitch is very nervous about Elsa potentially having a son rather than a daughter. I hope that clears up some things.

GeeklygirlJelsalover: Okay with Pitch's plan, he wants to have a child with Elsa and have his son be the future King of Arendelle as he wants his descendants to rule Arendelle after him. If Pitch's plan works out, he and Elsa will be married. Actually pregnancy difficulty depends on the person and definitely not the time period (look at Queen Victoria - she had nine children). Some people find it very difficult to get pregnant and some people have it really easy to get pregnant (it sort of depends on timing and genetics as well but that is only part of it), the rest just lie in the middle. I hope this was useful.

Chapter 21: A Smokey Experience

Two Months Later

Elsa was lying on her bed. She was extremely hot and bothered as well as exhausted. Being pregnant was really taking it out of her and she was only at twenty four weeks. She still had a while to go. She had no idea how Anna managed to keep her energy levels up high when she was pregnant. She made pregnancy look like a walk in the park but for Elsa it was much, much harder. But despite the difficulties, she loved every single moment of it. Elsa caused some snowflakes to appear and drift downwards onto her. She was glad she had these ice powers. It was helping keeping her cool a lot. Elsa would have gone crazy if she didn't have some cooling method. Anna knocked on the door and walked in. The second she did, she started to shiver and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

"It's freezing in here," she stammered out.

"I didn't notice," Elsa said simply.

"Well of course you wouldn't," Anna muttered. "The cold never bothered you but it bothers the rest of us."

Elsa let out a laugh. "It's just so hot though."

"Perks of being pregnant my friend," Anna said. "Now they're all waiting for you downstairs."

"Do I have to?" moaned Elsa. "I'm comfy just lying here."

"Yes," Anna said sternly. "It's your party that I have organised. I will not let you miss it."

"Fine," grumbled Elsa. "I'll go."

"Yay!" Anna clapped her hands excitably. "Let's go!"

Elsa followed Anna outside where a gathering of people were waiting outside. Elsa saw a lot people she knew such as Tooth and Rapunzel (who had brought Anna's children with her which made them all shriek with joy). Anna helped Elsa into a large comfy seat which made Elsa feel a hundred times better. She relaxed into it while Anna held her daughter Heidi. Her other children were running about with Kristoff chasing after them. Elsa's eyes made their way over all the guests at the party and she smiled at everyone single one. Some of these people she hadn't seen in a while and she was glad to see and talk to them again. Elsa's eyes soon flickered over to where Bunnymund was standing. He was standing a bit away from her chatting to Lady Tooth. Judging by their body language, they were quite intrigued with what the other had to say. Elsa watched as Bunnymund smiled and Tooth laughed and playfully slapped Bunnymund on the shoulder.

"Bunnymund and Tooth are certainly getting close," Elsa said to Anna.

"What?" Anna said.

For an answer, Elsa nodded over to where Tooth and Bunnymund were chatting. They both had the biggest grins plastered over their faces.

"They like each other," Anna sighed. "It's so adorable. I can't wait until the wedding."

"They've known each other like two months and you think they're going to get married?" Elsa laughed. "She's not you Anna."

"Hey!" Anna warned. "I was young and naïve."

"You met Kristoff the next day," Elsa gestured to Anna's husband to was chatting to Eugene.

"Younger," Anna answered. "By the way, you can't talk, you knew Jack like how long before you got married."

"Touché," Elsa said. "But we only got married because of the war. If there hadn't been a war then I probably would have waited a longer time."

"Sure," Anna said stretching out the word to which Elsa just rolled her eyes at.

"Elsa!" shrieked Rapunzel who had just come over. "Just think, the last time we saw each other was at the tournament and we saw Sir Jackson win. Little did we both know he would end up becoming your future husband, Anna's brother-in-law and the father to the future Crown Prince or Princess of Arendelle."

"Yeah, things change, don't they?" Elsa smiled.

"As sure as seasons do," Rapunzel nodded. "So how's Jack? How's he doing fighting for King and country?"

"Queen and country," Anna corrected her.

"Whoops," giggled Rapunzel. "So anyway, how's he doing? He's going to get a bit of a surprise when he comes back home."

"Yeah he will," Elsa said cheerfully before he face fell. "I actually haven't heard from him. Communication has been an issue."

"Ah well," Rapunzel sighed. "Anyway, I bet what people got you will cheer you up. I believe you might like my gift."

"Oh then gimme," Elsa laughed and so did the others.

Rapunzel handed over a long purple box. Elsa opened it and it revealed a beautiful green and purple hand sewn blanket with little crowns decorating it.

"My Mum made it," Rapunzel said. "Since we don't know if you're having a boy or a girl, I thought the Arendelle colours would look good."

"It's gorgeous," Elsa breathed. "Thank you. I would get up and hug you but that's a bit beyond me at the moment."

"I understand," Rapunzel laughed. "Let's see what other people got you."

Rapunzel got up and carried over a bunch of presents. They came in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Elsa didn't know where to begin. She just stared at the mountain of presents that Rapunzel was bringing to her.

"Opening presents!" someone yelled.

A stampede of people came over and for the next hour, Elsa was watched opening present after present. Elsa smiled at every single one of them. People got her all sorts of things for the baby. Elsa thought the baby was going to be quite spoilt. Even though there was a bit of a war going on, the baby shower wiped that from everyone's mind. However it wasn't wiped from Elsa's mind. She was happy, very happy but the fact that she didn't look into the crowd of people and see her loving husband there smiling and laughing. It all just reminded her that Jack wasn't there, he wasn't even close to Arendelle. He was fighting some, God awful, war. Elsa missed him a lot but at least she had surrounded herself with good people to help her through this time but she still wondered what Jack was up to.

Jack was getting ready for bed. They hadn't seen anything worrying since the day they had caught those two spies. Speaking of them, they weren't speaking. Nobody could get anything out of them that was relevant to what they wanted. They would just talk about random things that had no application to the war such as "Nice day, isn't it?" or "I've always wanted to travel,". Jack had feeling that they were toying with them, trying to shake them up instead of the other way around. The only thing that they had gotten out of them was the warning when Jack spoke to them. He still had no idea if the warning was specific or generalised about the war like they were going to destroy everything. Jack's commander thought it could be the mutterings of a madman but somehow Jack didn't think so. He thought it was relevant to something he just didn't know what.

Jack lay back on his bed, still thinking. He replayed the words over and over in his head. He was trying to detect anything he may have missed. He didn't think so. He certainly couldn't think of anything. Fellen was being awfully quiet. He didn't like that one bit. It was almost as if it was too quiet. He turned on his side, his thoughts then drifted to another area. It drifted back to Elsa. He wondered how she was doing. He was glad she wasn't alone in Arendelle. She had her sister and brother-in-law there and she also had Bunnymund who gave Jack his word that Elsa would be alright. He was glad he had Bunnymund as a friend. He knew about their relationship and still didn't say anything. Jack smiled to himself as he punched his pillow into shape.

Jack didn't know when he drifted to sleep but he did. His dreams were strange. His dream started out nice and relaxing. He was back home in Arendelle dancing in the Great Hall with Elsa. They were alone. They were dressed in the finest clothes imaginable. Jack then bowed to Elsa while she curtseyed to him. Music then started and Jack and Elsa got into position. They danced to a waltz which Jack remembered was Elsa's favourite dance to dance. Jack lifted Elsa into the air and twirled her around. She shrieked with joy and fell gracefully back into Jack's arms. Jack then spun them both around and smiled at the grin that was all over Elsa's face. Elsa clung onto Jack as he gently put her back onto the ground.

Suddenly Jack realised he wasn't alone. Elsa's snowman friend, Olaf, was with them. He was clapping along to the music. Jack was confused by Olaf's arrival but he didn't have time to fathom it. More people soon arrived, Anna, Kristoff, their children, Bunnymund, Lord Black, Nathanial, Pippa, his Mum and heaps of people that he didn't know. They were all bobbing along to the music. Jack stared at each individual. He was confused on why and how they were there. The room started to fill with smoke. Jack looked around and couldn't find the source of it. Soon the room started to fill with fire. Jack started to cough as the fire and smoke filled the room. Everyone seemed completely unaware of the rising danger except for him. Jack's eyes fell on Elsa who was laughing with her sister. She didn't even realise that the fire was creeping closer and closer towards her. Jack yelled out to warn her and he ran as fast as he could to get to her but Elsa didn't move nor did it look as if she heard him. Jack dodged streaks of fire to get to her but he was too late. He watched the fire engulf her and all of the guests.

"No!" Jack yelled.

Then he heard other voices, voices that didn't seem to be a part of what was happening. Jack woke with another yell and he had to calm himself that it was all just a dream. That was when he realised that a part of his dream was very real. He heard people running about outside and yelling.

"Fire!" they were yelling.

Jack sprinted out of bed and emerged outside. A part of the camp was engulfed with flames. Jack's fellow soldiers were rushing about trying to get water to put out the flames. Jack joined them. He grabbed a bucket from someone and threw it on the flames. Jack then realised that someone was still inside. Throwing caution to the wind, Jack burst into the house. He looked around and saw the person coughing and spluttering on the ground. Jack saw that it was his Commander. Jack heaved him to his feet and threw his arm around his shoulders. Jack made his way back to the door, coughing from the smoke as he went. His vision was starting to get comprised as the smoke filled the room up. Jack started to get to dizzy from all the smoke inhalation but he forced himself to continue. If he didn't, they would both perish right then and there and he couldn't let that happen. Jack forced his feet to go and to keep his vision straight.

He could see the exit in sight. Just a little more, Jack told himself and willed himself to go further. Just one step at time, he kept thinking. Jack the burst into the fresh clean air outside and collapsed on the ground with the Commander falling next to him. People instantly raced to them and dragged them both away from the smoke and fire. Medics were raced to them and got them fixed up. Jack could see that the fire was starting to get under control. It looked as if it started in the Commander's base of operations and spread to some of the surrounding buildings around it such as a couple of the sleeping areas and the rec centre. Thankfully there weren't that bad of damage though. Jack and the commander were both checked out and were taken to the on-camp hospital. Jack just had some minor burns and smoke inhalation. Luckily they both weren't bad and Jack could be up and about in just a few days. The Commander, on the other hand, had some serious burns and some bad smoke inhalation. He would have to be monitored. But thankfully he was sitting up and was talking. So it didn't look as if he was too bad.

All around Jack, people were wondering what could have caused the fire. To Jack, it didn't look as if it was an accident. It looked premeditated and deliberate. But that still didn't answer his 'who' question; who could have done this? No names came instantly to Jack's mind. It couldn't have been an outside man as the gates were firmly shut and the guard had been called to make a report and they said that no one was seen around the camp shortly or just after the fire. So did that mean it was an accident? Did that mean someone was perhaps accidently playing with matches and dropped one? To Jack that sounded very unlikely. The only person who had been in the Commander's Outpost had been the Commander and he was very quick to deny that he had done anything. He had said he working late on some plans when he saw the fire quickly spreading around him. He barely had enough time to react before the fire had overwhelmed the building. To Jack that sounded like arson, that someone had deliberately set the fire. But that brought Jack back to 'whom'.

"Commander!" a couple of soldiers came bursting into hospital room. They came in so suddenly, drastically and fast that the doctors were giving them scolding looks for disturbing the patients. "Sorry to disturb but there's been a development."

"What kind of development?" the Commander answered, his eyebrows narrowing in concern.

"Well sir, we were checking to make sure that everything and everyone was accounted for," the soldier said. "Then we passed the cell that we were keeping our prisoners in and we saw that it was empty."

"What!" thundered the Commander.

"They're gone sir!" the soldier said. "They've broken out."

Jack and the Commander exchanged looks. Guess they had figured out who had set the fire.

"There is something else sir," the soldier continued. "The bodies of Private Bernt and Corporal Ohlson were discovered just behind the jail with their uniforms gone. Our guess is that they killed them and took their uniforms to blend it which would explain why no one suspicious was seen leaving the camp."

"Bring me the soldiers on guard duty," the Commander ordered.

"We've already questioned them sir."

"And?"

"They did say that two soldiers were seen leaving and were stopped but they said that you ordered them on patrol duty. They had the right documents and everything so they were allowed to leave."

The Commander slammed his hand onto his bedside table. Jack and the other two soldiers jumped a little.

"Those sneaky soldiers," the Commander roared. "I want them found and captured.

"That may be difficult," Jack said. "It's dark and who knows how long ago they left? They could be long gone by now."

"We'll still sent up some search parties," the soldier who had spoken before said.

"Good," the Commander said. "I want these woods searched. They must be found."

"Yes sir!" the soldier bowed and quickly left.

"You really think they're gone?" the Commander said to Jack.

"Unfortunately I do sir," Jack said.

"Well maybe we'll get lucky."

"Let's hope so sir."

Filip and Pavel were racing through the forest. They were congratulating each other on a job well done. It hadn't taken them a lot of time to gain the friendship of those two blunder heads who had been guarding them. Pavel had simply told one of them to come close to him to listen to a secret and Pavel had slammed his head against the bars, knocking him out, before taking the key and freeing himself and Filip. The other had come in after hearing what was going on. Filip had overpowered him before he could even raise the alarm. After eliminating them, they hid their bodies and stole their clothes so they could blend it. It had worked. They had passed a few people who didn't even comment on them. Pavel had grinned at Filip. Nothing could stop their plan now. Everything was going according to plan nicely. So far, nothing wrong had happened and they wanted to keep it that way.

They had then quickly raced to the main building that Filip had overheard was where the Commander lived and which held all the battle plans. Pavel had slipped in with no noticing and made some copies of the battle plans and slipped them into his jacket. The Commander had walked in at the very moment. Luckily Pavel was able to sneak out the back to meet up with Filip. Filip had taken out the lighter he hid in his boot (they both had thought that the Arendelle soldiers had been stupid not to properly search them, all they had done was a rough search which of course hadn't amounted to anything). Filip and then started the fire with his lighter before they both raced for it.

They had been stopped at the gate but Pavel had stolen some patrol orders, it had been a part of their getaway plan. They knew they would be stopped and they didn't want the alarm to be raised before they were well out of sight. They presented their documents and were allowed to continue on their merry way. As soon as they were out of sight, they sprinted for it. They ditched the Arendelle clothes and continued to run for their lives. They knew that they would soon to be discovered missing and they would figure out that they were responsible for the fire. They would be looking for them. Pavel and Filip didn't want to be caught. They knew that if they got caught, it would be all over for them.

Their feet were getting tired and their bones ached but they still forced themselves to run. They didn't know how fast the Arendelle soldiers would react. For all they knew, they could be right on their trail. They could be just behind them, running to catch up to them. They did think they had a head start but they couldn't be sure. They still didn't stop running even when they saw their camp coming into view. They didn't want to be stopped right at the finish line, not when they were so close. They sprinted into view of the camp. The guard at the gate told them to halt but relaxed when he saw them.

"Pavel, Filip!" he said. "I thought you guys were goners. Last I heard, those Arendelle people caught you."

"All part of the plan Niels," Filip said. "Could you let us in? We have to talk to Fearling Commander Emil Falk. We have some news for him."

"Oh of course," Niels then called for the gate to open and Filip and Pavel entered the camp.

They knew that Fearling Commander Falk wouldn't be too happy to be woken up at this time but they did think that the news they were bringing would change all that. They knocked on his door and sure enough Fearling Commander Falk answered it. He looked furious at them. He glared down at the pair of them which would have made them run to the hills if they didn't have important information for them.

"Who dares interrupt me when I'm sleeping?" Fearling Commander Falk barked at them.

"Sir, its Filip and Pavel, you sent us on the Arendelle mission," Filip said rather nervously.

"I gather by the late night intrusion you have some news for me," Fearling Commander Falk said folding his arms.

"Yes sir," Filip said. He gestured to Pavel who pulled out the battle plans. "We got these for you sir."

Fearling Commander Falk took them with interest. A grin emerged on his face as he read the plans. He looked happier the more he read.

"Excellent," he said. "The fire to conceal we took them?"

"All done sir."

"Excellent! You've done well boys."

"Thank you sir," Filip and Pavel said.

"I think with these we can launch our first assault and then in time plan our final assault. Then after eliminating those blunder heads over there, we can focus our attention on Arendelle and Queen Elsa."

"Sir!" another Fearling came running over to Fearling Commander Falk. "News from Lord Black sir."

"What does our Lord want?" Fearling Commander Falk said with urgency in his voice.

"New mission sir," the other Fearling said.

"Which is?"

"Assassinate Sir Jackson Frost."

A/N: So I put a little OUAT reference in there, hope you guys got it. Okay bad news guys, my first exam of this semester is tomorrow, eek. So if there is no chapter tomorrow, that's the reason. It will because I will be stuck in a three hour exam trying to remember things that are impossible. It's stupid Stats as well. Man I have a love/hate relationship with that paper. I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter. Please review =)
