Elsa stirred in the bed from side to side. They had assigned a room for her. With two maids on her door. She could not walk out without them tailing behind her.

For this Prince Hans was no where in site. She stirred in the bed once again, her mind running with anxiety. They'd been traveling for three months now, and in this time she'd bled once, she wanted for the day to end so they could leave and speak to Hans.

Maybe he could... She rolled in the bed again, slight cramps on her lower abdomen. She could swear it was coming.

Her eyes stayed on the ceiling, the home was quiet as if no one was there. For some strange reason it reminded her of when she was a child. When her parents were out with Anna, and she would lay there silently in her bed alone. She slightly cringed, her sister.

She felt a slight sharp twinge again, and this time she was sure.

Hans gracefully swung the sword with a smile. He had been challenged to a friendly sword fight, to prove to Theos he indeed was a royal guard. He had beaten him, and that had settled the little man's doubt.

The son of Efraín, Theos, laughed, Hans was indeed a member of the guards, he had beaten him fair enough. And now it was time to celebrate his victory.

"Van Buren, come!" He smiled broadly, "let's drink fer yer victery. I pay."

Hans smiled, but shook his head. "I am afraid i have another commitment. Thank you for your generosity."

The small man laughed and with his hand high placed it over his shoulder. "I heve miny female friends that meyvee well canvince ye aterwise?"

Hans raised his brows but shook his head nonetheless. "I have to get back to the Queen, now. Maybe some other time."

The man let go of Hans handed him his own sword. "Suit yerselve. Here, these is my debt te ye."

Without another word the small man was off.

Hans chuckled lowly and with his eyes on the sword began to the manor of the Berthelom family. The people who would host Elsa for the night.

He didn't know what else to do, he debated on the thought of going to the local alehouse, but his mind wiggled back to his wife.

He stood there in the middle of the pavement for a minute, then he began to walk out towards the manor again. He would go see his wife, he had not seen her all day.

Anna smiled as she signed the thank you cards that her promising council had offered; to send to the kingdoms. Since word had gone out about her pregnancy, many neighbor kingdoms had offered their best wishes, and had sent her presents. The 'right thing to do' was to send them thank you cards, and accept the visits they offered.

Cribs, quilts, wooden toys, money. And future possibilities of marriage for the unborn child, be it a boy, many were interested, be it a girl, many were also interested.

Anna was eager and euphoric. She couldn't understand what Elsa hated about being queen! Everything was always great. The council were great at resolving problems. Nothing marched in the wrong direction.

Kristoff sat to the side of the princess. His hair was slicked back tightly and he felt uncomfortable. Never had he received a gift, aside from Anna, and to him this was getting out of hand.

"Anna?" He spoke to his wife quietly, trying his hardest to not pester her.

She looked to him with that smile he had fallen in love with, "yes?" She finished signing the cards and handed them to Gerda who was to take them to the post office.

"I think..." The blond ice harvester kept his eyes on Gerda until she closed the door behind her. "We should just thank these people... But not accept the company, at least until Elsa gets back."

She shook her head, "oh Kristoff, Elsa would never allow it! You know how much of a prude she is!"

He rolled his eyes, "of course she wouldn't! Because like I said before she's the one who decides for the kingdom Anna. You're being manipulated by those people!"

The princess tightened her lips and rolled her eyes at him. "You're wrong."

He suddenly stood from his spot, this was becoming a recurring theme. "I am trying to look out for you Anna but you just don't listen!"

She stood too, from behind Elsa's desk and took in a deep breath. She held at his hand and placed it on her cheek, "I know you're worried, but please trust me. I am not doing anything wrong... I'm trying to lighten the mood of the country."

He slowly pushed away from her and shook his head. "As your sister, may I remind you, the queen, is out there trying to better the economy, these people use your name to waste money! Anna, you don't see it, they're using your name to get what they want! A life of luxury and parties! This has nothing to do with politics!"

She looked to him with a big frown, "yeah like you know anything about being a royal member..." With an angry expression she turned her back to him and crossed her arms. "Besides! They only want what's best for Arendelle, this will bring other countries to ours, and we can sign more contracts, hence have more trades and power!"

"Is that what they've told you?"

The princess nodded her head now facing him.

He sucked up his argument for the sake of her ever growing belly and took a deep breath. There was no use arguing with Anna. He didn't want to anger her so he did what any man would. Without another word he began towards the door. He stood before going out and looked back to her, "Just do me a favor..."

Her colored eyes locked in on his but she said nothing. He sighed and shook his head. "Don't let the crown get to your head. You look prettier without it."

To this her cheeks flushed and her mouth gaped open but no words came out. She shook her index finger angirly towards him and before she could reply, with a slam of the door he left.

How could he say something like that to her!?

The feeling of guilt began to take her, but there was nothing she could do about his thoughts. With a sigh she fell into Elsa's chair and pouted. They had been fighting a lot lately...

He sat there in the midst of the night, the fire was cackling softly, making the cool ambient warmer. He was close now to the abandoned castle, soon he would find the mirror, and soon he would find the bastard who took his crown away.

Jet Rhyus pulled on the small blade Madame had given him and pressed it close against his skin. It was so sharp that the faintest of movement could cut him. He chuckled lowly and put it back into it's sheath safely. Soon. So very soon.

Queen Elsa would be his.

Hans knocked on the window to the queens chamber. He had tried to near her, but they had assured him she was very well and that she had had dinner with the family and gone to bed after settling matters.

Instead of heading to his own assigned room, he decided he wanted to meet with his wife.

Elsa turned her head slightly, with brows suddenly furrowed, towards the noise coming from the window. The wind was blowing and she could see branches from the outside tapping the window as they moved.

She tried to close her eyes, but again was the noise, only this time louder.

She made to stand, but stared suspiciously.

"Elsa, it's me, Prince Hans! Let me in..."

Suddenly she felt as if she was in a nightmare, but the feeling shook off when she remembered she was married to him.

A giggle escaped her lips when she caught sight of him, and without a doubt the small flash of pink in her eyes caught his.

There was always something amazing about Elsa. She was a very beautiful woman, and always so confident. She was simply mesmerizing to him, a delight to his eyes.

"They wouldn't let me see you... And I couldn't stay away."

She lowered her eyes and smiled softly. "I'm glad you came Hans there's something we need to-"

He pulled her into a hug and pushed him her ever so slowly towards the bed, not letting her speak, his lips caught in hers.

His manly scent reached her, but still her mind was clouded. "Hans, please?"

He began nipping at her neck, not letting her speak.

The queen bit at her lip, she would make sure to speak to him in the morning, for now, she would enjoy her husband.

Xoxoxo

The morning came fast, and prince Hans rose early. He placed a small kiss on the forehead of his sleeping wife and slowly began to dress himself. He would run to the stables and ready the carriage for their departure as soon as she would say.

He climbed out the window and made quick on his feet to the stables.

Not one soul was up and running as of yet, and Hans couldn't be happier. He didn't know what would it be of him if anyone would know what was happening between the queen and him.

Soon the sun rose and Hans waited outside the manor to await his queen for departure.

She came out gracefully, with a very long pink dress hugging her figure. She was wearing her hair partly down and a cape flowed behind her. There was small buds of flowers decorating the dress's cape. Hans blushed when he saw her, but quickly held his emotions.

"Thank you for the pleasant stay at Sun Valley... I will make sure to come back to visit."

The knight bowed to the queen, with his wife and children behind him. "Please do my queen. It was a pleasure to receive our queen in our home."

They bid their formal farewells and soon the couple was out of the town.

After two hours of riding, and again deep into another forest Elsa requested a stop. Last night she hadn't had the chance, but she had it now.

She walked out of the carriage and stretched slightly. Her limbs numb from the travels.

"Hans?"

Said man jumped from the carriage himself and began to tend to the horses letting them free in the nearest tree so they could eat.

"Yes?"

She looked down towards the ground, her voice suddenly in a knot.

He noticed her behavior and quickly went to her, an expression of worry on his face. "What's the matter?"

She felt tears form in her blue eyes. But exactly why? She didn't know. It was supposed to be good news. She looked him in the eyes and shook her head. "I can't..."

With a hand on her chin he questioned. "What is it queen Elsa!?"

"I have not bled..."

He furrowed his red brows together in question, what did she mean by that?

"What?" He suddenly let go of her as realization hit him. Suddenly his eyes went wide and all he could do was lock his eyes on her flat belly. She felt the urge to cry now and all she could do was look to the ground.

They had been traveling for three months. They were still not finished with their deeds from the castle. "we have many stops left Queen Elsa!" He looked to her still flat stomach again. "What will we do!? How will you hide this from the world?"

She began to cry even more now.

He quickly made to hold her, "no, no, no... Please don't cry your majesty."

He held onto her, it was not that he was not happy, he was. It was just their situation, it was difficult. "Look at me."

The blonde did as he asked, but she was afraid to look him in the eyes.

"We will get through this. I'll look for a way to travel faster."

Elsa pulled away from him and hugged herself, the temperature falling a good degrees. "I'll make sure as soon as we get back, to explain everything... Who you are, what we are, and now our child."

Her gaze dropped once again. She felt guilt for some reason; Anna...

Hans pulled his lip in a thin line, if it wasn't for the situation he would be screaming out of joy. He was in love with her, and the idea of being a father it was magical.

He began towards her and held her from behind, he had made up his mind. "I promise I will not let anything happen to you or my child."

He kissed the back of her neck softly, "thank you, your majesty, for the best of gifts a woman can give a man. We have become one." He smiled at the end of his sentence.

Elsa pulled away and turned to face him. "I'm afraid."

He held on to her hand. "Don't be, you will be the best mother a child could ask for."

The temperature dropped a little dangerously now.

The prince caressed her hair, pushing it back behind her ear, he needed for her to calm down. "there is no one else I'd rather be with, sharing a child than with you."

He stared into her eyes, so lost, he loved the idea, now that the shock had worn off. "I'll give him everything he asks for I will not make the same mistake my father did. I will love him no matter what."

Her beautiful face was still showing worry.

"Don't be afraid Elsa..." He kissed her slowly, wrapping his arms around her. "I will be by your side. I promise."

Her eyes rimmed with tears again and without warning kissed him too. Her hands clutching to his body.

It was true it was dangerous, everything about this relationship was dangerous. But there really wasn't anything that she regretted. Their love had produced a royal, of pure blood. There was nothing that would separate them ever again. They were now one whole.

James smiled at the sight of his daughter laughing. The rays of the sun setting brushed her lightly tanned skin she was just so beautiful now. So happy full of youth.

Yes he was a proud father now. And a soon to be grandfather.

Suddenly Heidi faced him, with her hazel eyes full of wonder. "what could Berry be doing?"

Her big father pulled his lips then looked out to his land. "He's probably enjoying his time, Heidi."

She smiled at the memory of him, and she looked to her father who was staring off probably remembering him as well.

From afar she saw her husband walking back towards the house, tired and red from the blazing sun in from midday.

She stood with a frown on her face and made inside the house, leaving her father to greet Amos.

She regretted marrying him.
