There was a deep hole in her heart, and her bed was cold and lonely. She didn't want to admit it, not even to herself, but she missed him dearly. She missed his touch, his scent, his lips.

She was confused. Everything that had happened was a mess. It was a horrible way to get attached to someone, but it had happened to her. She could not rest. She turned to the side and the image of her small baby girl flashed through her mind. Again she turned.

Her eyes lingered to her ceiling, the walls were blue from the hue of the full moon from the outside.

Rest was not coming to her, she missed Gretel, and she missed her husband.

Elsa stood, walking ever so slowly like a ghost over to the window. Her skin bathing with the light of the moon.

Arendelle was a beautiful kingdom indeed. It was covered in snow and the ambient was quiet. She loved her kingdom, but her heart yearned for the love she needed. For her daughter, for him.

Her blue eyes teared, it had been one week already that she slept alone. One long week that she would only hear reports of her daughter. One long week that she desired to hold her little princess.

She turned to face the portrait of her late father that was hanging in the middle of the room. She felt defeated as a woman. She did not have the courage to do what was needed.

It pained her hard, how her life had gone to extremities. She had gained, but then lost everything.

There was a sudden knock on the door, making her jolt in surprise.

"Your majesty!" She could hear the voice of a man whisper, it sounded familiar, but she could not tell who it was.

With furrowed brows she walked on over to the door, opening it to find Kai with a cup of warm tea in hand.

"Kai?"

He smiled sadly, "I'm sorry to intrude at such a late hour my queen, but," he looked to the doors hinges. "It's very difficult to ignore the growing ice on your door frame."

Elsa opened the door for him to come in, she had not even undressed from the day, to rest.

"What is the matter your majesty?" He placed the teacup on a nightstand, and placed his hands behind his back.

Her arms went around herself and she walked on over to the window again.

"Everything is wrong."

He shook his head, "yes my queen, since prince Hans has left, you have been different." He shook his head.

Her eyes were wide and towards him. "Please don't call him that."

He made to sit on the bedside, and Elsa followed.

"There's some things that need to be said my queen."

His eyes went to the portrait of her father, "what is happening your majesty?"

There was a long moment of silence, and Kai lowered his head.

"Gretel is my daughter."

She knew that he had suspected so many things. Mainly because he had known for so long already of Hans identity. But what he didn't know was about Jet Rhyus, and his plans.

"Why have you waited for so long to introduce her then?"

She stood suddenly, her expression full of anxiety. "Because! How will I explain to my council that I secretly wedded the late prince Hans, who is hiding behind the name of Berry Van Buren! And that the very man who wanted to take over Arendelle, is the father to the heiress of the throne!?"

Kai stood by her side and held at her shoulders.

"It was Jet Rhyus!" She began to cry.

"I didn't want any of this to happen!" There was more ice suddenly everywhere.

"Your majesty..."

"He gave me a potion, one that made me fall in love with the first man I saw! That woman that came for him was the witch who gave him that potion for me!"

"And the first man you saw was prince-"

"Yes!" She cried even more now.

"Even after the spell was broken, I cannot get him out of my heart, that, that, man who did Anna wrong... He, he is the father to my daughter..."

She clung onto Kai her tears staining his shirt. The stubby man looked at her with sorrow, his fingers running through her soft hair.

"My queen... This is not your fault..."

She shook her head, "and it's my daughter's?"

Kai looked to her, "if you love him queen Elsa... Then why not-"

She pulled away from him and again hugged herself. "Because I betrayed Arendelle."

"No-"

"Yes, I betrayed everyone! I betrayed Anna!"

There was tears flowing from her eyes, "don't you see..."

"All I see my queen is that you're chosing others best interest instead of your daughters."

Elsa shook her head, "you will never understand... Just leave."

Kai took no offense by the queens request and he simply nodded. When she was under too much stress he knew it was better to leave her be.

"Very well my queen, we will speak in the morning."

He quietly stepped out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

Elsa wept quietly as the shards of ice in her room grew.

Xoxoxo

"Ok," Guinevere fluffed Jack Frosts jacket and fixed a few strands of ashy hair back into place. "Now talk to her, she will accept if you presist."

Jack smiled to the side. He did not know why he was nervous, but he indeed was.

He had been pushed to the side for a while, because the queen had many things to rearrange after her return.

But now that everything flowed smoothly he was accepted by the council to finally arrange a meeting with her.

He was very happy to be able to talk to her, though she was older than himself, she was a very beautiful woman, and not to mention a queen.

"Now remember, stay on her good side."

Jack chuckled but nodded nonetheless.

He walked on over to her office,where she was, and knocked on the door three times.

There was no answer, but he could hear her voice on the other side of the door.

He knocked again, and when there was no answer, he opened the door slowly.

His eyes caught sight of the queen as she wrote on a piece of paper.

The royal gaurd that was assigned to her, sat atop on her desk one leg on the ground and the other higher, with his hands folded, and facing her, it looked almost inappropriate.

She did not seem to mind his casualty, but it seemed odd to him. "Excuse me your majesty?"

Elsa looked up quickly as the unnoticed man crept in.

Hans stood quickly and placed his hands behind his back.

"It's me Jack Frost, the Duke of Burgess." He smiled proudly and walked in even further.

"Yes Jack Frost... Nice to see you..."

"I was here... Wondering if you would like to share a meal with me... Alone."

Hans stood at her side, and rose a brow, his eyes half closed looking to him.

"A meal?" Elsa suddenly asked. "Listen Mr. Frost... I appreciate your offer, but-"

His eyes suddenly went wide with worry, "no, no, no, before you say no my queen, please consider it."

He smiled shyly, "it doesn't have to be today, it could be in a week. After all I'm stuck here until your fjord unfreezes!"

This made Elsa giggle slightly, and Hans furrowed his brows at her.

"I will think about it Sir. Frost. I don't make any promises, I am fairly busy with my paper work here."

He nodded knowingly and randomly walked on over to a couch and sat himself about.

Elsa looked to Hans, and he shook his head.

The prince began towards the door and looked annoyed towards Jack Frost, "your majesty, if anything arises I will be out here, at the door."

She nodded and he closed the door behind him, Elsa going back to her papers.

There was a very long period of silence, which to Elsa felt awkward.

She could tell there was something on his mind, but she didn't know what it was, or what he wanted from her.

"What does it feel like?" He asked her suddenly. His eyes to her, but lost as if remembering something.

"What does what feel like?"

He chuckled softly and stood, his hand in the air. "To control it... The weather, the snow, the cold."

Elsa hadn't expected this question from him. She could've sworn that he was interested in her, or just the spot of king.

She smiled, "it's magical..." She blushed, "it's a part of me."

He smiled at her answer and bit his lip. "Thank you for your time your majesty."

Without another word he walked back towards the door.

"Jack Frost..." She called on after him.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to face her.

"I will not accompany you alone nowhere. Berry Van Buren must be with me at all times." She stood and he eyed her slender figure. "If that seems like a problem to you then I'm sorry."

He shook his head. "It would be no problem with me."

She smiled then, "we can accompany you tomorrow in the afternoon. In castle grounds."

"Your dinning room seems like a good place to meet."

He chuckled and she laughed slightly. "We will meet you there."

He bowed low and began to the exit. Surprised to find Berry Van Buren close to the door as if listening in on them.

Hans stood tall, but hovering only a few inches above him.

"See you tomorrow afternoon." Jack winked at him and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The princes face went red and he walked inside to the Queens office.

"You accepted his invitation!?"

She simply sat in her spot behind the desk, looking through endless papers. "Yes."

He was flabbergasted, "what!? Why would you do that!?"

She eyed him slowly and returned to her papers. "Because I can not keep denying-"

He banged his fist on her desk, giving it a small dent. "You're married to me, have some respect!"

She flinched at the sudden change of mood, and her eyes went to his. "Excuse me prince," she just wanted to get him out of her head. "Hans, but according to everyone else I am not married to anyone."

He leered at her with sudden anger. "I promised to stay faithful, for your honor, and this is how you repay me!?"

She ignored his words and continued on her writing, trying hard for his words to not reach her heart.

"Elsa, answer me!"

"That is queen Elsa to you, Berry Van Buren!" Anna suddenly walked in on the two, Hans had not realized he had left the door open.

He shifted back to stand, and the princess walked in with an angry expression on her face.

"How could you disrespect your queen?"

Elsa looked to her sister who held the little prince comfortably on her breast.

"You are forgetting your place Van Buren." She turned to look to him, "Elsa how could you let him speak like that to you?"

"Anna it's fine, I can handle this myself."

"No it's not." She lifted her eyes to the redheaded gaurd, because to her, no matter how close to Elsa he was, he was just another gaurd.

"Maybe he needs some time off?" Anna suggested, "he has not taken a break since your return."

Hans shook his head and began to breath heavily.

"Anna, please... Why is that your here?" Elsa spoke up changing the subject suddenly.

Her younger sisters brows were furrowed towards Hans, but she went on anyways. "I received this letter for you, it's from a knight, his name is Adam."

Elsa blushed suddenly at the memory of him, and Hans face grew even angrier.

"Thank you Anna, I will get to reading it as soon as I can."

The princess eyed the prince and slowly walked on out of the office. Her small bundle beginning to hum as he woke.

Elsa quickly made to close the door and with hurt shook her head.

"I am not your property Prince Hans." She made her way to the desk but lifted a finger to his face, "I am your wife by mistake."

He grabbed at her hand, and snarled at her, "mistake or not you're still my wife."

"But you forget I feel nothing for you!" Elsa began to struggle against his grip, making the prince grab at her waist.

"I know you feel for me queen Elsa!" He struggled as she tried to free herself. "Because I see it in your eyes."

She suddenly stopped her movements and locked her eyes on his. "Why don't you admit it queen Elsa?"

They stayed there in that position for a couple of minutes, her eyes on his and his eyes on hers.

There was pleading in his gaze, hurt, need, and it pained her to see him like that. She wanted nothing more than to be in his arms without any care, but she knew it could not be.

"No priest will marry you... I am your husband, and though that potion was the reason for it, I know, I just know, you still feel for me."

He licked his lips and his eyes lingered on hers. There was no answer from her. She was still with his arms around her waist.

"I know you love me..." He began to lean in towards her, his lips getting closer to hers.

Elsa began to shake with nerves but she let him near her, suddenly and softly he began to kiss her. She felt that need that his eyes demonstrated, that heat that she longed for was there.

It was of longing and hurt. It was of passion and love. There was so many things that that kiss brought to them that they had not realized when they had began to unclothe one another.

Elsa began to tremble as he lost himself in the passion. Soon he had her under his weight, laying together in the comfort of her couch.

Hans grunted as his hands gripped on her bare hips, and Elsa laced her legs smoothly against his body.

Before they went further, he stopped, his eyes drowsy and his breath heavy. He waited for a signal from her to stop, but he saw her hooded eyes and that blush on her cheeks.

"I love you queen Elsa."

He leaned in for another kiss, and she dug her nails on his back.

They ticked together in rhythm as if a clock in time.

Xoxoxo

Elsa sat in the middle of her bed, tears streaming down her face.

She had betrayed her sister, and herself. She had let prince Hans of the Southern Isles take her as his, and she had enjoyed every minute of it.

She felt dirty. She felt crazy, but underneath those negative emotions, she felt right.

She wanted nothing more than to run once more out to the north mountain with her daughter and Hans and never look back.

She despised that she was the queen, and she sometimes envied her sister. Anna had no worries about the other countries looking at what she did. Anna had absolutely no worries about who the father of her child was, because politically, she was second to the throne. But Elsa, all eyes were on her, and if any country saw just the smallest amount of weakness in the throne, they would try to overtake her kingdom.

Just as Hans once tried...

She closed her eyes suddenly, she had forgiven him.

Xoxoxo

Hans gently touched his little babys face, she was growing quickly he could see it.

Her newborn features had already faded and that beautiful face of a baby was coming. Indeed time was going by fast.

He picked up the little princess as she slept and walked on over to his own bed.

There was an undeniable smile on his face, of satisfaction, he had been with the woman he loved.

"Ye look well." James looked through the opening of the door inside, a small smile on his face.

The prince looked up to find the big man already stepping in.

"Has something changed with the queen?"

Hans shook his head, "not much," he stared at his daughter and kissed her adorable cheeks.

"She wants to see Gretel."

James eyes twinkled. "There's more to this itn there lad?"

Hans chuckled and smiled.

"She..." There was a pink tinge on his cheeks and James boomed a loud laugh.

"Well then that offer for one of me daughter's to be your bride is dropped then. "

The big man nodded his head and went on about to hold the little princess. " I'm glad for ye lad."

He smiled genuinely and took the bundle from his arms.

"What will happen then?"

Hans looked out the window, the calmly falling snow so beautiful in the moonlight.

"I really don't know."
