A/N: Good day! Thanks for the reviews last chapter and I have found a song! I have found it! Okay so I'd like to thank IndyGirl89 for introducing me the song The Sun Is Rising by Britt Nicole! I believe that song describes Nicholeia the most and it was really touching so you should all go check it out! I wanted to thank everyone else for giving me song options because they were all so amazing so thank you! Enjoy chapter 28!
"So we'll all just meet back in the parlor at ten?" Derek confirmed as he and Anna stood next to each other by the gates along with Elsa and Kristoff.
"Yes and make sure there is no rough housing….Anna." Elsa said directly to Anna as Kristoff helped her put on her cloak.
"Psh, please! I'm not that immature!" Anna scoffed.
"Yeah…" Elsa said and clasped her hands together gracefully in front of her. "So I guess we will just…go then."
Anna and Kristoff shared a hug and kiss goodbye while Elsa and Derek did the same thing. The two couples made their separate ways, Anna and Derek going one way and Elsa and Kristoff going the other.
"So how did you and Elsa come up with this idea? Not that it's a bad one, I actually think it's good for us to get away from our spouses before we kill each other, but did you plan this out of the blue or have you done it before or-"
"Anna!" Derek interrupted.
"Sorry! The no longer living baby inside me is making me crazy today!" Anna peppered up.
"If the baby was no longer living and growing, you wouldn't be having symptoms and Elsa told me you were cramping yesterday so your baby is very much alive smarty pants." Derek laughed.
"It's feisty pants, mister!" Anna said and pointed a finger at him.
"My deepest apologies, your Highness." Derek laughed and pulled her into a friendly hug. "I'm glad we could do this."
"Yeah it's gonna be really fun! I have the perfect idea first!" Anna squealed.
"I don't know if I want to hear this…."
"Shush! Okay, how about we go bungee jumping!" Anna said with the biggest smile on her face.
"Yeah that does sound fun! But…uh you are pregnant…." He laughed nervously.
"Oh right…duh, Anna!" Anna giggled and face palmed.
"Any other ideas in that bright mind of yours?" He smiled.
"Well….oh! We could always go horseback riding! I'm pretty good at riding Sven….except for when I fall off….which I always do….so that probably isn't safe for a pregnant person." Anna bit her lip.
"Or at all?" Derek nudged her.
"Please, nothing Anna Bjorgman does is safe."
"That couldn't be more true, but you should probably start doing more safer thing now that you'll be a mother of three." Derek suggested.
"I know….okay Anna stop being selfless!" Anna said to herself.
"You're everything but selfless. You know that, everyone knows that. We don't even have to get into details because you know how selfless you are, okay?"
"But-"
"No." Derek said. "Now come on, I have an idea." He smiled.
"No way!"
"Swear to God."
"You seriously got all of it right? How is that even possible?" Kristoff asked in disbelief.
"I'm telling you, that was the only thing I was ever good at." Elsa explained.
Kristoff raised an eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Fine, maybe I was good at some other things but geometry was my best." Elsa smiled.
"So let me get this straight, when you were sixteen, your tutor gave you a one hundred question geometry test for school and you got every question right?"
"Every question, Kristoff." Elsa laughed.
"That's incredible! Is Anna good with geometry?" Kristoff asked.
Elsa just laughed. She covered her mouth delicately with her hand and giggled with her eyes closed. "Oh, I am sorry. Um, not necessarily. She's better at….well…..she is much more better at….Physics than I am." Elsa shrugged.
"Physics?" Kristoff asked in disbelief.
"Hey, she is good at something, I'm aware. We just have to…."
"Find that out?" Kristoff finished.
"Exactly. Now come on, there's something I want to show you. Anna told me that she has recently gotten you into chocolate." Elsa said with a slight giggle.
Kristoff gave her a goofy smile and shrugged. "I mean….yeah." He laughed.
"Perfect! Then follow me." She said and grabbed his hand lightly.
"What are we doing here?" Anna said hesitantly.
"Hey you should be used to this, it's an ice rink!" Derek presented it with his hands.
"You know I suck at ice skating. Elsa's been trying to teach me for years and I can't do it. Also, won't it be dangerous because I'm pregnant?"
"It's funny how now you care about making sure you don't get hurt during this pregnancy when you have to do something to face your fears but if it's something you want to do, it's all okay." He said with an eyebrow raise.
"Don't pull and Elsa eye raise on me." Anna said and frowned. "Fine, I'll try but if I fall I'm going to beat you."
"I'd never let you fall, Anna. You're my sister and I wouldn't let Kristoff or especially Elsa kill me." He laughed.
"Are…..are you a good at ice skating?" Anna asked.
"I guess we'll have to find out."
Anna smiled and the two ordered two pairs of skates that fit them. There were two options of skating they could do which consisted of having an hour lesson or just winging it. And both Derek and Anna's personalities reflected upon the second choice- just winging it. Anna grabbed Derek's hand and squealed as they approached the ice itself and began moving. Anna, being almost seven months along stumbled on the ice while her brother-in-law tried his best to hold her up. She gasped a few times and tried her best not to curse when she'd slide due to the fact that there were little children around.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap!" Anna whispered as she shuffled on the ice. She smiled when she finally got a steady pace while she and Derek glided on the ice.
"You're doing it!" Derek praised and next thing he knew they were on the ground, his arm wrapped instinctively around her stomach, making sure she landed on top of him and not on the ice.
"Anna! Anna, are you okay?!" Derek asked, ignoring the pain ripping though his back.
"Am I okay? I think the real question is are you okay? My fatness fell right on top of you!" Anna said and scrambled to get up but was just too weak.
"I'm perfectly fine, lass. How about we not ice skate." He suggested as he helped her to her feet and held his back.
"We can't just give up now! How about one more time around and if we screw up then we can do something else?" She said. "Please?"
Derek sighed and then shrugged. "Why not?" He smiled.
"Yay! Thank you!" She squealed and the two began skating hand in hand, stumbling a few times but getting another easy glide.
"The breeze feels wonderful." Anna commented as they continued skating.
"I'm surprised it's in the forties right now. Arendelle is usually in its mid-twenties around the end of January." He said.
"Maybe all of the love is thawing the snow." Anna smiled and nudged Derek.
"I think you and snowflake always have something to do with it." Derek chuckled.
"Snowflake?" Anna asked.
"What? Oh! Snowflake is my nickname for Elsa." He said and smiled down.
"You really love her, don't you?" Anna asked.
"Love isn't even a word. She is my second half. She is the best person ever, really. I'm sure Kristoff feels the same way about you."
"He does, well I hope so." Anna laughed shakily.
"Of course he does, I can tell by the way he looks at you." He smiled.
"Really? How….does he look at me?"
"Like you're the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Here we are." Elsa smiled as they stood in front of the shop with the most bizarre chocolates in all of Arendelle from all over the world.
"I've heard about this place….Anna talks about it all the time." Kristoff said as he looked up in disbelief at where he was.
"I'll let you in on a little secret." She smiled and beckoned him closer to her with her hand "I've never been here before."
"You, of all people, haven't been to the most popular chocolate store in all of Arendelle?"
"I've never had time." She shrugged. "Shall we?"
"We shall." He smiled and offered his arm which she happily took.
"Ah, your Majesty, welcome! What can I do for you and Sir Kristoff today?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Good afternoon James." Elsa smiled quaintly. "We are here to try some of your said 'bizarre' chocolates."
"Well you've come to the right place, ma'am! We have chocolates here from Venezuela, Belgium, France, Ireland, Ecuador, Germany, and even the United Kingdom." He said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Ecuador?" Kristoff asked with a smile and looked at Elsa.
"Ecuador." The shopkeeper confirmed.
"We'll try all of them." Elsa said and handed the shopkeeper 7 krones, Norwegian currency.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to pay me, I mean this is your-"
Elsa put her hand up to silence him. "Please, it would be an honor."
"Very well, thank you." He said and accepted the money.
"So what do you have for us to try first?" She asked from the other side of the counter.
"Why don't you two come back here and we can do this privately." He offered.
"Why?" Elsa asked.
"Well I figured you didn't want to be bothered with other people in the stores…I mean…."
"It is hardly a bother, sir. We would gladly stay right here and try the chocolates." Elsa said with a forced smile. She hated labels.
"As you wish, your Majesty." He shrugged. "Uh….okay this first chocolate is from Belgium and it's called Cavalier Stevia-Sweetened Dark Tablet."
Elsa and Kristoff took a piece of the chocolate from James and Kristoff shoved the whole thing in his mouth while Elsa took a small bite.
"Well…..?" James asked.
"This is hell of a good piece of chocolate." Kristoff laughed and licked his lips. Elsa tried not to laugh at his word choice but giggled slightly. "What do you think Elsa?"
"It is fantastic." Elsa said and closed her eyes, breathing in the sensation of the chocolate.
"What's next, what's next?" Kristoff said and rubbed his hands together.
"This is a rare chocolate from Ecuador called Pacari Chili Spice Bar." James said and handed them both another piece.
"Is it spicy?" Kristoff asked with his eyes staring down at the bar.
"It would be a lie if I said no." James laughed.
"Don't be such a baby, Kris. Here, we'll try it at the same time." Elsa offered and patted his shoulders.
"Fine." He said and the two bit into the spicy chocolate.
"How about this one?" James asked.
Kristoff's face twisted at the spicy sensation tickling his taste buds and put the chocolate down on the counter, shaking his head no while Elsa was sighing with a smile on her face.
"Do you really not like it?" Elsa asked in disbelief.
"No offense, James, but this is the most disgusting chocolate I've ever eaten! It shouldn't even be called chocolate."
Elsa and James just laughed as Kristoff drank some water.
They tried chocolates from the United Kingdom, Venezuela, and Ireland as well. The chocolate from the United Kingdom was called Bargain Basement Green & Black Organic hot chocolate that Kristoff found delicious that Elsa heavily despised which was weird considering hot chocolate was her sanctuary. The chocolate from Venezuela was called El Rey Caoba Discos that had a smooth texture and a caramel filling. Both Kristoff and Elsa loved it and actually decided to buy it for Derek and Anna to try later. The chocolate from Ireland was fairly simple. It was called Butlers Chocolate Mint Crunch Bar and it was way too minty for Kristoff and Elsa but nevertheless it did taste good.
"Here is my personal favorite all the way from France!" James said and handed them each a piece of the chocolate called Bonnet Apotequil Bar. It was 75% bittersweet chocolate and the cocoa from the beans was harvested in Peru before being shipped out around the world.
"Is this organic?" Kristoff asked.
"No, Sir."
"Okay."
Without wasting another second, Elsa and Kristoff stuffed the chocolate in their mouth and chewed before coming to a conclusion.
"Thoughts?" Kristoff asked Elsa.
"It's uh….it's bitter that is for sure. It isn't bad exactly but it isn't that….good." She said and licked her fingers daintily.
"I think it tastes awesome! Good choice James!" Kristoff said and shook his head getting an eye roll from Elsa.
"Here's the last one all the way from Germany, your friendliest ally." He said and handed them the chocolate.
"What is it called?" Elsa asked.
"Ritter Sport Dark with Hazelnuts Bar." Kristoff answered for him.
"How did you know that?" Elsa laughed.
"I read the label." Kristoff said and pointed to the chocolate behind the glass counter.
They both put the chocolate in their mouths and right away sighed in content at the chocolate. Kristoff and Elsa smiled at each other and high fived. They had found their favorite.
"No Anna this is way too dangerous." Derek said
"How is this too dangerous? I do this all the time!"
"Exactly! This is way too dangerous."
"Where's your sense of fun!?" Anna pouted.
"I can't cut your hair! I've never even used this before!" He said holding the knife like he's never held one before.
"You've never used a knife before? Wait, what?" Anna laughed.
"No I've used a knife before, just….not to cut someone's hair." He said hesitantly.
"Please Derek, I'm going to hopefully be a mother of four and I want a whole new look! I may be the Princess of Arendelle but I am still a person. And I would like a new look. So can you please just give it a trim?"
"Anna I don't-"
"I order you to." She said sternly.
"You order me? I happened to be married to the Queen of Arendelle." Derek smirked.
"I am royal by blood so I suggest you cut my hair before I have you beheaded!" Anna yelled but then broke out into laughter along with Derek. "Just do it."
"Fine, fine!" He said and took the knife and held up a bunch of her red locks.
"Don't shut your eyes!" Anna yelled and Derek snapped them open and laughed awkwardly.
"Whoops, sorry! Okay I got this…." He said and began rubbing the blade against Anna's hair and soon about two inches of her long hair fell to the floor. They were in Kristoff and Anna's bathroom sitting on the chair in front of a large mirror.
"I swear you're going to stab me in my neck." Anna huffed.
"Shut up." He laughed and cut some more of the hair off. "I am underqualified."
"Why are we doing this again?" Anna asked.
"Because you and I both have no friends and stupid ideas." Derek answered honestly making Anna laugh.
"Okay keep cutting!" Anna laughed.
"Okay calm down!" He said and sliced of more and more of her hair.
"How does it look?" Anna asked after about five minutes.
"It's definitely shorter than it was before. Two inches really make a difference, lass." He said.
"But does it look bad?"
"I wouldn't say that. But people will notice a difference and probably question it."
"You know what we should do?" Anna smiled deviously.
"Tell me." Derek asked and looked at her in the mirror.
"I found a chest in one of the spare rooms with wigs and….bald caps."
"I want alcohol." Elsa admitted as they walked down the sidewalks of Arendelle and made their way to a park bench.
"Well doing that while pregnant probably isn't the best option." He smiled.
"No? Really? Thank you so much for telling me that I would've never figured it out myself!" Elsa laughed.
"Why do you do that?" Kristoff asked.
"Do what?"
"Whenever you're with me you're so calmed and relaxed but in public you're regal and polite. You don't always have to do that." He said with a sympathetic look on his face.
"But I do. I have to set an example for Arendelle and if they see their Queen being immature, it won't…"
"It won't what?"
"It would just be unprofessional." She said and looked down. "Are you chilly? It's pretty cold out here."
"Are you cold?" Kristoff asked.
"Kristoff you should know this by now, the cold never bothered me anyway." She winked. "But you didn't answer my question."
"No I lived in the mountains for twenty-one years. I'll be fine." He smiled.
"So how are you doing with the whole pregnancy thing? Is Anna feeling alright?"
"She's so scared. She is set that our baby isn't alive and I know that isn't true but….you know you still have that feeling." He shrugged, obviously scared.
"I believe that the baby will be beautiful and healthy just like the twins. She's probably paranoid because of what happened with your previous baby." Elsa said quietly.
"I agree, I do. I'm just praying and hoping for the best. It'll be okay, I promise." Elsa said and squeezed his hand.
"Will you do the magic?" Kristoff asked.
"Excuse me?"
"The magic. Will you do it? I love ice and you make the most beautiful ice so….can I see some?" He smiled and shrugged.
"Of course." Elsa laughed and rubbed her hands together delicately, forming a small snowball in her hand. Kristoff looked at the snowball like a little child. She smiled at him and tossed the snowball up in the air and it exploded into a thousand little snowflakes. Kristoff let them fall on his palm as he looked closely at their form.
"Beautiful." Kristoff breathed.
"Watch this." Elsa whispered, standing her and Kristoff up and hitting her palm on the bench covering the whole thing in glistening ice. She held her stomach as Kristoff kneeled down and ran his hands along the ice.
"I wish I could do this." He laughed and looked up at her.
"You must really love ice." Elsa concluded.
"Love….yes I love ice. I always have and I always will." He said.
"Interesting." Elsa said and next thing he knew, snow was in Kristoff's face.
"Hey, what was that for?" Kristoff laughed, wiping the cold snow off of his face.
Elsa shrugged. "Want to have a snowball fight?" She said and giggled.
"Wait, what? I thought you hated snowballs?"
"Kristoff, I am the Snow Queen, I live to have snowball fights."
"Then count me in!" He said.
A large amount of snow was already on the snow because in Arendelle, most of the snow came in January instead of December. Since it was fairly cold out, no one was at the park so Kristoff and a almost eight month pregnant Elsa made their snow forts, under one condition: no magic. Elsa agreed to the terms and after about fifteen minutes, both of their ice forts, or shields, were done and they were ready for battle.
"Come at me Bjorgman!" Elsa yelled as she crouched her best behind her fort.
"Oh, you're so on Bentonia!" He yelled back and threw his first snowball but ended up hitting a nearby tree ten feet away from Elsa.
"Is that the best you can do, ice harvester?" Elsa laughed in a cocky manner.
"What can you do without magic, snow Queen?" He challenged.
"Plenty!" She replied and threw a snowball and it hit him square in the face. She snorted as he wiped the snow from his face. He stuck his tongue out at her but she rolled her eyes and got her next snowball ready but was hit in the face right away by Kristoff's snowball. She jerked back a little bit but then brushed it off.
"Ha!"
"Don't get used to it! I'm just getting started!" Elsa called to him.
Kristoff just blew her off and threw a trio of snowballs and they all landed successfully inside Elsa's fort but none hit her.
"I am utterly disappointed in your aiming and throwing skills." Elsa said and quickly tossed a snowball and missed by a long shot. Embarrassed, she looked back down and picked up another snowball as one slid right past her face.
"Oh I don't think so!" Elsa yelled and threw another cluster of snowballs as it hit Kristoff right in the face even though he had ducked behind his fort.
She looked up so see if he was alright but he hit her right in the face and she fell back. Kristoff's eyes widened and he ran over to his sister-in-law to see her lying on the ground with snow all over her face and gripping her stomach. Kristoff panicked and he placed a hand on her heart to see she had a pulse and he began shaking her and calling her name.
"Elsa! Can you hear me? Are you okay?" He called. A small smile appeared in the corner of her lips and she hit him in the side of the face with a snowball and laughed.
"Ha! Got you! You're a sucker for a good sob story!" She laughed.
"That is unfair! I thought you were really hurt there and if you were I wouldn't have known what to do!" He yelled at her.
"Aw you care about me that much?" She said with puppy dog eyes and lips.
"Of course I do!" He said, sadness in his eyes.
Elsa just formed a slow smile at him and he shook it off and smiled back helping her to her feet. She patted him on the chest and pushed him slightly out of her domain.
"We're still in battle, sir." She said and raised a snowball. Kristoff ran back to his fort and ducked before Elsa could fire. Kristoff gathered up a few snowballs and fired at her getting her every time.
"Take that!" He yelled.
This went on for about two hours, just the two of them throwing snowballs at each other like little kids, unordinary little kids. No magic, no rules, no responsibilities, and no fear.
It was around eight in the evening, even though they decided on ten, they all found themselves back in the castle at eight. Kristoff and Elsa bathed, kissed their already sleeping children, and made their way to the parlor where a fire was burning in the grand fireplace with four mugs of hot chocolate and some crackers and cheese.
"I wonder where our spouses are." Kristoff said as he and Elsa sat down on the blankets in front of the fireplace.
"You can never be too sure." Elsa laughed and sipped her mug but the heat burned her tongue. She flinched and quickly iced her tongue a little bit and sighed. She cupped the mug and held it there to cool her drink down more.
"You do know that I won that snowball fight, right?" Kristoff spoke up.
"You did not! It was a dead tie." Elsa said and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, sure. Say what you want but I know I won."
"You are such a liar!" She laughed. "I won completely!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
In all of their bickering, they didn't realize Derek was standing right in the doorway. He cleared his throat and smiled at his favorite people, but his eyes mostly fixated on his wife who looked so beautiful. He loved how pure she looked right after a bath. Her hair was long and wet, little waves here and there, and absolutely no makeup. Not that he didn't like it when she wore makeup, he loved it a lot in fact, but seeing her pregnant and healthy made her look so much more beautiful to him. He couldn't stop smiling at her.
"Hi darling." Elsa said sweetly. "Where's Anna? Aren't you going to sit down?"
"Hi beautiful. Yeah but Anna has something she needs to uh…..tell you. We kind of had a mishap today." He said.
"Please don't be mad." They heard Anna's voice from behind the wall. They sat there in silence and once Anna emerged, they dropped their mugs next to them.
"Anna?!" Kristoff panicked and stood up running over to her. "What….what happened!?"
"Well Derek was giving me a haircut and he accidently cut all of it off and now I'm….bald." She said shamefully.
Elsa was just sitting with her hand cupped over her mouth in disbelief. "Y-You mean you have no hair?" She quivered.
Anna shook her head and frowned. "I hope you'll still love me though." She said, Derek standing in the corner trying so hard not to laugh.
"Of course we'll still love you but…." Kristoff was at a loss for words.
"I have an idea." Anna said. "How about I just snap my fingers and grow my hair back?"
"Anna….what the hell?" Kristoff asked.
"Sweetie, why don't we get you a wig or something." Elsa said and used the couch to stand up.
"No need!" She laughed and pulled the bald cap off of her and let her long strawberry blonde locks fall. Kristoff and Elsa could've died from relief as they exhaled breath they didn't even know they inhaled.
"You suck." Kristoff said. "That was cold."
"I love you!" She said and tried kissing him but he turned away and laughed. "I did get a haircut though, see?" She showed her hair that was cut two inches. It actually looked good.
"I like it feisty pants." Kristoff smiled and let his arm circle her waist.
"You gave me quite a scare there." Elsa smiled and hugged her sister. "I missed you today and your husband is a cheater."
"Don't start!" Kristoff yelled.
"Oh I will start! So this is what happened….."
A/N: Oh Elsa just let it go. OMG can you believe they're making a Frozen sequel in book form? I am truly disappointed I was really praying for a movie sequel. Well I guess this sequel is better than nothing, right? What do you think? Okay so I for sure have the names now so tell me what you think I picked out. Just give me a boy and girl name that you think I picked. The top four girls were Adelaide, Genevieve, Evangeline, and Clarisse and then the boys were Adam, Michael, Gerard, and Timothy. So just pick one! Next we'll do names for Anna's baby! LOVE YOU! And again thank you to IndyGirl89 for choosing the best song!
I'm so tired so I'll answer reviews next chapter! Review though!
BOOM! CLAP! SOUND OF MY HEART! THE BEAT GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND! BOOM CLAP! YOU MAKE ME FEEL GOOD! COME ON TO ME, COME ON TO ME NOW!
