It had been almost four months now since the Arendelle trio had returned home, reclaimed the throne, and sent Prince Hans and his remaining brothers back to the Southern Isles to face justice from their eldest brother who was now King.
Life had been good it seemed. Anna and Kristoff finally married and seemed happier than ever. Elsa seemed content in her role as Queen however, there was a certain sadness to the snow queen then again that just was her way most of the time, Though this sadness seemed different. Far more profound and rooted in something that had happened during her time spent in Storybrooke. At first, Anna had assumed it was the passing of her aunt, Elsa's mother Ingrid. But this sadness was different and went on for too long.
One morning when Elsa hadn't shown up for breakfast with Anna and Kristoff per usual the newly wed couple went in search of her. Finding her in the gardens of the castle, tucked away with it flurrying around her Anna was the first to speak. ".. Elsa? What's wrong?"
Before Anna could utter another word Elsa shot her a look. "I've just seen the doctors. I.. I'm pregnant." She said in almost a whisper. She flinched next as both Anna and Kristoff blurted out "
what!?"
Quickly Anna's mind began to race! Who was Elsa having a child with?! Who would she have even done..
that with. She wasn't married! What would happen to her? It was Kristoff who now spoke. "Who's the father?" He asked.
Raising her hand Elsa shook her head. "Please. I want to be alone. I.. am so terrified. I can't be a mother. I don't know how." She blurted out. Gently Anna moved closer taking Elsa's hands. "Elsa it's okay. We'll be here with you." She promised.
Kristoff however still seemed set on finding out who the father was. "Who did it?" He asked. Elsa looked to him "what do you care who the father is?" She snapped back though this time Kristoff was ready for her sass. "Because I'm your brother. Who did it?" He asked again.
Elsa sighed closing her eyes "... it happened in Storybrooke." She said quietly. "But I won't tell you who. It doesn't matter now anyway." She said certain she couldn't return to Storybrooke even if she wanted to. Which she did not!
Kristoff seemed hesitant "well.. it was... I mean he didn't.." Elsa rolled her eyes as she understood what Kristoff was hinting at. "No. It wasn't anything like that it was just.. a lapse in judgment."
She said tearing up as Anna hugged her. "It's gonna be alright Elsa. You're going to have a baby. And we're going to help you raise it. Right?" Anna looked to Kristoff who came over and nodded. "Yeah, of course." He said and came over setting a hand on Elsa's shoulder.
Sighing quietly Elsa knew that both Anna and Kristoff would support her. Though she was still somewhat in shock that she was pregnant. It was completely unexpected. How could this happen? From just one time.
