We start chapter 4 with Anna and Elsa sitting in their room, about one month since the start of the semester. Elsa has noticed that Anna has been spending a lot of time with Kristoff. "Who is this Kristoff guy you are always with?", she asks. Anna replies, "Oh, one of my good friends." "Just one of your friends. It does not seem that way to me." Elsa then says. Anna starts, "Well, uhh, he is nice, and funny, and smart..." Elsa, smiling at her sister, says, "So, you DO like him, you're blushing." Anna giggles, "I guess I do." "Ok, then. he does seem nice. if you do decide to, you know, bring him in, use protection, ok?" Elsa warned. "I want you to be safe, you don't need to end up pregnant, or with STDs.", she added. "Ok, Elsa.", Anna said. "Oh, and if you do bring him in, please let me know a head of time. No more surprises." Anna giggles.
After that conversation, Anna began to worry. It was Friday, and she usually gets her period on the last Thursday of the month. Elsa was right, the last thing she needed was to get pregnant. She was really enjoying university life and hated to have to drop out to raise a child. She worked really hard in high school to make it this far, and he Aunt Thema would be disappointed. She knew she would definitely disappoint Elsa. Not knowing what happened to Hans since the incident at the beginning of the semester, and not really wanting him involved, she did not want to be alone. She really did not support abortion, nor did she think she could give a baby up for adoption.
Apparently, she appeared lost in thought while hanging out with Kristoff and his friends at the union, because Kristoff asked, "Are you ok? You don't seem like your usual self today" Anna answered, "I am fine." Soon after that, she said, "Can I talk to you, alone." So Anna and Kristoff walked off to a corner of the room. After Anna told Kristoff her concerns, he said, "I am glad you trusted me enough to tell me, does your sister know?"
Anna replied, "No, I did not want to tell her until I knew for sure." Anna and Kristoff decided to go to the clinic. To her relief, she was not pregnant. She was then prescribed birth control, so she would not have any more scares. She thanked Kristoff for going with her to the clinic. Kristoff told her that he would do anything for her and her sister, and had she been pregnant, he would help. "You would do that?" Anna asked. "Yes, I would. If you let me, I would step in and take care of the child as if he or she were my own", Kristoff said. Anna looked into Kristoff's eyes, "Can I do something?", she asked. "What?" he responded. Anna kissed Kristoff on the cheek. Kristoff then kissed her back. It was offical, Anna and Kristoff were a couple.
Soon, it was near Thanksgiving break. Kristoff asked Anna, "So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?" Anna hesitated, "Well, I was just going to go home to my Aunt Thema." Kristoff asked, "Your Aunt Thema? I guess you didn't live with your parents." Anna looked down, "Well I did until they passed away in an accident two years ago when they were on their way to Elsa's graduation." "Oh, I'm sorry, Anna." Kristoff said. "You know, I don't remember my parents, I was I foster care my whole life.", he added. Anna then said, "Wow, I hear how bad that can be." Kristoff responded, "Yeah, there were some hard times, but my most recent family was nice. They said I could come back during breaks." "They sound wonderful, Anna said."
After talking with Elsa and Aunt Thema, it was decided that Anna, Kristoff, and Elsa would spend Thanks giving with Kristoff's foster parents. As Anna expected, Kristoff's foster parents were kind. Both Anna and Elsa enjoyed staying in their home and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Kristoff's foster family. "Not only was this the warmest, but this was possibly the best Thanksgiving ever", Anna said to Elsa, at the end of the week. The three of them went back to campus that Saturday, and the remainder of the semester resumed.
The semester was soon over, and both Anna and Elsa passed their final exams with flying colors. Anna decided to join Elsa with remaining on campus to complete the winter mini semester. Since Elsa had been staying on campus to take classes during both winter and summer mini semesters, she was able to graduate a year early. Spring semester came and gone and Elsa had graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, with a concentration in vocal music. The graduation ceremony went well, and this time Elsa was able to control her emotions without fear of freezing the president's hand. Aunt Thema had came down, and Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff had all celebrated at a nearby diner. Anna decided that she too would try to graduate early, and started taking summer courses a week later.
Time had passed, and soon it was the end of Anna's last semester. Just before the finals, Anna and Kristoff went on a date to a classy restaurant. Kristoff told Anna to dress nice, because they were celebrating their last semester together. Anna wore a bright green knee length dress, with her hair up. At the end of their meal, Kristoff took Anna for a walk into a park. There was a small creek with a bridge over it. Kristoff stopped Anna on the bridge. "Anna", he said. "I hope we can be together forever." He then got down on one knee and proposed to her. Of course, Anna accepted. They kissed for what seemed a long time.
Soon, Anna had graduated. She too graduated with a Bachelor's in Music Education, but her concentration was in instrumental music. Anna and Kristoff had spent that year planning a wedding, that was going to be held the next June. They had a beautiful wedding at a chapel. Elsa was Anna's Maid of Honor, and Kevin was Kristoff's best man. The reception was held in a private hall at the same restaurant that Anna and Kristoff had gone on their engagement date.
