The kingdom of Arendelle was blanketed in a thick layer of fresh, sparkling snow. The landscape looked like a scene from a winter fairy tale, with glistening icicles hanging from the rooftops and children laughing as they built snowmen in the village square. Inside the castle, however, the air was filled with an entirely different kind of magic…

Queen Elsa stood by the window of her chambers, gazing out at the picturesque winter wonderland. She had always loved the beauty of Arendelle in the winter, but this year felt different. As she rested her hand on her growing belly, she felt a wave of warmth wash over her. She was expecting her first child with Kristoff, the man who had somehow managed to steal her heart and change her life forever.

"Elsa!" Kristoff's voice called from behind her, breaking her reverie.

"You'll never guess what I found in the village today!"

Elsa turned to see Kristoff entering the room, his cheeks rosy from the cold and his hair tousled. A bright smile lit up his face, making her heart flutter. Kristoff always had a knack for bringing joy and laughter into her life, and now, with their baby on the way, that joy seemed to multiply.

"What is it?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Kristoff leaned closer, excitement sparkling in his brown eyes.

"They've set up a winter festival! There are ice sculptures, hot chocolate stalls, and even a sledding hill! I thought we could go check it out together."

Elsa's heart danced at the thought of spending the day with Kristoff, experiencing the magic of the festival.

"That sounds wonderful Kristoff! I would love to go with you. Let me just get ready."

As she prepared for their outing, she felt a flutter in her belly, a gentle reminder of the life growing inside her. She couldn't help but smile, imagining how different their lives would be once the baby arrived. The prospect of motherhood filled her with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, but with Kristoff by her side, she felt ready to embrace it all. Soon, she was dressed in a warm, elegant gown that highlighted her figure, paired with a stylish cloak made of a rich blue fabric. The dress not only made her feel regal, but also allowed her to move freely as she navigated through her pregnancy.

Kristoff waited patiently for Elsa to finish, a playful grin working its way onto his face.

"You look beautiful, as always," he said, his voice warm and sincere.

"Thank you," Elsa replied, her cheeks flushing slightly at the compliment.

"You look pretty dashing yourself."

And with that, they headed out of the castle into the bustling streets of Arendelle.

The village was alive with activity, laughter, and the sound of children playing in the snow.

As they made their way toward the festival, Elsa couldn't help but feel the warmth of the holiday spirit surrounding them.

"Look!" Kristoff exclaimed, pointing to a booth where villagers were making intricate snowflakes.

"We have to try that!"

They approached the booth, where a group of children were eagerly folding paper and cutting out delicate designs.

Kristoff picked up some paper and beganj to work on his own creation, glancing over at Elsa, who watched him with a loving smile.

"Are you sure you can make a snowflake?" Elsa teased.

"You're more of a rugged ice harvester than an artist."

Kristoff feigned offense.

"I'll have you know that I am a man of many talents! Just you wait!"

As he concentrated on cutting the paper, Elsa chuckled softly, feeling grateful for moments like this—filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a future together.

After Kristoff finished his snowflake, he held it up proudly.

"Ta-da!"

Elsa clapped her hands in delight.

"It's beautiful, Kristoff! Look at all the intricate details!"

"Of course, it's a Kristoff original," Kristoff said with a wink.

They continued to explore the festival, stopping at various booths to taste warm treats and admire ice sculptures.

Each moment together felt like a precious gift, reminding Elsa of the deep bond they shared.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the snow, Kristoff took Elsa's hand in his own.

"Come on. There's something I want to show you. It's a little further up the hill."

"Lead the way!" Elsa replied, curiosity dancing in her eyes.

They walked hand in hand through the festive crowd, finally reaching a hill overlooking the village.

The view was breathtaking, with the lights from the festival twinkling like stars below. The air was crisp, and a gentle snow began to fall, creating a magical atmosphere.

"This is my favorite spot," Kristoff breathed, gazing at the view.

"It's even more beautiful and special with you here."

Elsa felt a warmth spread throughout her chest at Kristoff's words.

"It really is incredible. I can't believe how perfect everything feels."

As they stood there, Kristoff turned to Elsa, his expression suddenly serious.

"Elsa, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've been thinking about for a long time."

Elsa's heart raced as she met Kristoff's gaze, sensing the importance of the moment.

"What is it, Kristoff?"

Kristoff took a deep breath, clearly gathering his thoughts.

"You know how much I love you, right? How much you and our baby mean to me?"

"Of course," Elsa replied, her heart swelling with love.

Kristoff smiled, but there was a hint of nervousness in his expression.

"I've been thinking about our future—about us...about our family. And…I want to make it official."

He knelt down on one knee, pulling out a small velvet box from his pocket.

Elsa gasped, her hands flying to her mouth as she realized what was happening.

"Elsa, I've loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. When I saw you, I knew with everything in me, I had to make you mine. You asked me when we first got together how I knew I loved you, and I couldn't answer you then. But I know now," Kristoff said, his voice trembling slightly as he continued, his words full of raw emotion.

"I know you don't believe in fairy tales. But if you did, I'd want to be your knight in shining armor. You've been through so much and I don't want to see you hurt anymore. Now, I may not be able to give you everything you're used to…"

Elsa's lips parted, tears already welling in her eyes. It was so surreal, she wasn't sure she could breathe.

Kristoff's voice grew more confident.

"...but I do know I can love you past your pain. I don't want you to worry about anything. You just wake up in the morning, that's all you have to do, and I'll take it from there. But there's one condition…"

He paused, holding Elsa's gaze with such intensity that she felt like they were the only two people in the world.

"You have to be my wife," he said, his voice filled with a deep, quiet plea.

"You asked me how I know I love you, and Elsa…I know now. I carry you in my spirit. I pray for you more than I pray for myself. And if you're away from me for more than a second, a minute, heck, even an hour...I can't stop thinking about you and your beautiful smile."

He smiled softly, his eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Because when you smile, my world is alright."

By now, Elsa was crying—full, silent tears streaming down her cheeks as she gazed down at the man she loved.

"So, Elsa," Kristoff whispered, his voice full of hope.

"Please…make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife. Will you marry me?"

For a long, heart-stopping moment, there was only silence.

Elsa blinked through her tears, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared at Kristoff. This was happening. This was real. Kristoff was asking her to marry him. She gazed at the ring, then back at Kristoff.

"Oh, Kristoff!" she exclaimed, overwhelmed with joy.

"Yes! Yes, I will marry you!"

Kristoff slid the ring onto her finger, his face lighting up with happiness.

They embraced and Elsa felt a surge of love and gratitude wash over her. This was the moment she had been dreaming of—sharing her life with Kristoff, the man who had stood by her side through thick and thin, the man who loved her when she wasn't capable of loving herself, the man who was everything and more to her, the father of her baby. Her knight in shining armor.

As they pulled apart, Kristoff looked deeply into Elsa's eyes.

"You make me the happiest man alive, Elsa. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and raise our daughter together."

"And I can't wait to be your wife," Elsa replied, her heart bursting with happiness.

"I love you, Kristoff. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Els," Kristoff said, leaning in to kiss Elsa slow and deep.

"More than anything and anyone in the world."

The world around them faded away as they embraced, sharing a moment that felt timeless. After breaking the kiss, they stood together, hand in hand, watching the snowflakes around them. The festival lights twinkled below, a celebration of their love and the life they were building together.

"Shall we head back?" Kristoff suggested, his arm around Elsa's waist as they began to walk down the hill.

"We shall." Elsa replied, feeling a sense of warmth and belonging enveloping her.

"I want to share our news with everyone!"

As Elsa and Kristoff made their way back to the festivities, they couldn't help but exchange excited glances and smiles. It felt as if their hearts were dancing with joy, anticipating the moment they would announce their engagement to their friends and family. When they reached the village square, the atmosphere was vibrant, filled with laughter and music.

Elsa spotted Anna, laughing with some friends near the hot chocolate stall.

"Anna!" she called, waving her arm.

Anna turned, her face lighting up when she saw Elsa and Kristoff approaching.

"Elsa! Kristoff! You made it back!"

"Just in time," Kristoff said, pulling Elsa closer as they joined Anna.

"What's going on?" Anna asked, noticing the glow on Elsa's face and the sparkle on her hand.

Elsa glanced at Kristoff, who nodded, encouraging her to share the news.

"Well, we have something important to tell you," she began, her heart racing with excitement.

"Okay, spill!" Anna urged, leaning in closer.

Kristoff took a deep breath, unable to hide his grin.

"I asked Elsa to marry me, and she said yes!"

Anna gasped, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Oh my gosh! You're engaged?!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around Elsa in a tight hug.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you both!"

"Thank you, Anna!" Elsa replied, her heart swelling with love for her sister.

As they pulled away, Anna's gaze flicked to the ring on Elsa's finger.

"Oh my God, Elsa! That ring is gorgeous! You have to tell me everything!"

Kristoff chuckled, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"We will, don't worry. But first, let's celebrate!"

They joined the festivities, laughter and joy surrounding them as they shared their news with friends and family.

Elsa felt a sense of fulfillment was over her; this was the life she had always wanted, the life she had always dreamed of—a loving partner, a child on the way, and a family that would support them no matter what.

As the evening wore on, they found a cozy corner near the bonfire, where people were gathered, sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the warmth.

Kristoff wrapped his arm around Elsa, pulling her close to him and smiling as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"This is perfect," Elsa said, taking in the moment, the warmth of the fire, the sounds of laughter, and the love surrounding them.

"Just wait until our little snowflake is here," Kristoff said, his voice filled with excitement.

"Imagine the fun we'll have together as a family."

Elsa smiled, her heart swelling with joy.

"I can't wait. I want to show her everything about this beautiful kingdom and the love we have for each other."

Kristoff leaned down, kissing Elsa's forehead gently.

"And I'll be right here with you, every step of the way." he promised.

As they sat together, surrounded by friends and family, Elsa felt a sense of peace and belonging that she had never known before. They were on the brink of a new adventure, and with Kristoff by her side, she knew they could conquer any and everything life threw their way. As the stars twinkled overhead, she felt a renewed sense of hope for the future. She and Kristoff had a love that could weather any storm, and as they celebrated their engagement, she couldn't help but look forward to the beautiful life they were building together—a life filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished moments.

In the days that followed, preparations for the wedding began, and the excitement in the castle was palpable.

Elsa and Kristoff spent their evening planning every intricate detail, laughing as they navigated the challenges that came with wedding planning.

One evening, as they sat in the castle's royal library, Kristoff looked up at Elsa with a soft smile.

"You know, I couldn't be happier. You make everything feel right."

Elsa's heart melted at Kristoff's words.

"And you make me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I can't wait to be your wife."

With each passing day, they grew closer than ever before, their love deepening as they prepared to embark on this new chapter of their lives.

And they knew that nothing would ever be the same again.
