Chapter 7
Elsa worked on the other side of the room trying not to look at James. She vowed not kiss him again after all she didn't even know if he liked her and she was too much of a coward to ask. James sat on the opposite side trying to hide what he felt. He knew that if his parents ever got word of what happened he would be in serious trouble.
After a while of torturing silence James spoke
"We have a council meeting tomorrow" he said while not looking away from his papers
"Thank you for reminding me I had forgotten" said Elsa in a very civil tone
"Did you forget because you are thinking of the person who is hiding something?" he said now looking at the queen
"Yes"
"Elsa you have to confront your sister"
"I never said it was my sister"
"She is the only person you care about enough to be worrying like that"
The way James said it stung a little .she couldn't believe that he thought she didn't care about him. Although she was hurt by the harshness of his words Elsa knew he was right.
"Fine then I will"
She walked out the door trying to not show him how much his words hurt her.
Kristoff and Sven where taking a break from work . kristoff sat on top of the cubes resting while Sven ate an enormous pile of carrots .
"Hey Bjorgman I heard your marrying the princess" said one of the ice harvesters named Lev
"Yeah what's it to you" said kristoff while removing his hat from his face
"She probably liked his long girly hair" said another man named Linus
"I bet you can't wait for the wedding night seeing as you've never had a woman" said lev while taking a swig from his flask
"Don't worry she can guide Blondie she already has experience" "you won't even have to do any work" said Linus making all the men burst out laughing.
"You shut the hell up Linus!" Kristoff got off the cubes and drew his knife out of his pocket.
"Wow calm down there ice master" said Lev with a wicked grin on his face
He punched Lev in the jaw instantly knocking him out. That made Linus very angry and he swung at kristoff. Linus was about two times bigger but kristoff had an advantage .He cut him in the arm and an allout brawl started between the ice harvesters. After the punches where thrown and scores where settled kristoff and Sven started making their way to the castle.
"I need to know if this is true" thought kristoff while Sven pulled the sled.
Anna sat in her room trying to sew some tiny mittens. They didn't look correct but it was good practice. She was pretty concentrated on her work when the knocking on her door alerted her of a visitor
"Who is it?"
"Your sister"
"Now's not a good time, I was about to take a nap" said Anna trying to make her sister go away
"Anna I know that's a lie open the door" said Elsa in slightly annoyed tone
"Sorry no can do"
"Well then you leave me no choice" said Elsa while twirling her set of castle keys around.
"Don't you dare!"
"Oh I will"
Anna opened the door with a very noticeable scowl
"I came here to talk to you" said Elsa
"About what? How to break into a person's room? Or is it about how to invade someone's privacy?"
"Anna I know that what I did was wrong and I am very sorry but you won't talk to me"
"Are you forgetting that you where the one who kept a secret from me and refused to open the door for years!"
"This has nothing to do with my secret mom and dad told me to keep it from you and everyone else!"
Elsa began to lose control of her emotions and accidently froze the floor where she stood. Anna put one hand on her belly and took a step back.
"I just need to know one thing ""Are the rumors true?" Elsa's eyes began to tear up as she reached out to her sister. Anna moved further away.
"What rumors?"
"Is it true that you and Hans…" Elsa couldn't finish the sentence
Anna only nodded as tears began to run down her cheeks
"Anna are you pregnant?" she wispered
She nodded again .Elsa walked over and gave Anna a hug as all the tears the princess was harboring began to pour out.
"What am I going to do?"
"It will be all right Hans doesn't have to know, we can raise the baby together" said Elsa while trying to console her sister.
"But what about kristoff?"
"I'm sure he will understand, you must tell him before the ceremony"
"The ceremony! everybody has been invited and I'm nowhere near done".
"We can work on that, I can help you please stop crying "said Elsa while holding Anna's face.
"What will the villagers say? I don't want my baby to be a bastard".
"Your baby won't be a bastard he or she will have the Arendelle name" said Elsa
"But people will know" said Anna with yet another tear streaming down her face
"Since when do you care what people think Anna" Elsa wiped the tear away from her cheek and gave her another hug.
After the princess stopped crying Elsa defrosted the wardrobes handles and explained to her how she figured out that she was expecting. Elsa recalled some rumors that she had overheard while the servants where chatting and explained how she found the strange tiny clothes in the wardrobe. After putting the clues together she knew there could only be one answer.
"But why didn't you tell kristoff?" said Anna in curios tone
"I was going to but I realized that you where the one who has to do it" said Elsa while braiding Anna's hair
"When should I tell him?"
"Today"
"Are you sure because I think it can wait"
"No Anna the sooner you tell him the better"
All of a sudden the sisters heard footsteps quickly walking away from the door. Elsa got up immediately to see who it was but when she opened the door there was nobody there.
"I guess all of this stress is driving me crazy I could have sworn there was somebody there"
"You're not the only one I heard it to"
"Then we should be very careful about what we say, there's a spy in the castle"
