The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the castle, casting a golden light across the richly decorated room.
The familiar sound of the wind whistling against the frozen fjords was a peaceful backdrop, though Anna barely noticed. She was too busy pacing across the large, cozy living room, wearing a path in the thick rug that covered the floor.
Kristoff watched Anna from the couch, where he sat next to Sven, his loyal reindeer, chewing on a snack as if completely oblivious to her anxious energy. He, on the other hand, had grown used to her pacing.
"Anna," he finally said, a look of amusement gracing his features.
"You're gonna wear a hole in the floor if you keep that up."
Anna stopped mid-step, turning back to look at Kristoff with a slight frown.
"I can't help it! I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin waiting for news. What if something's wrong? What if—"
"Anna," Kristoff interrupted, his voice soothing but firm at the same time.
"Elsa's fine. She's just resting. You don't need to worry so much."
"I know, I know." Anna replied, sighing as she flopped down onto the couch beside Kristoff.
"It's just...I can't help it. I'm excited, and nervous, and—well, you know how I get."
Kristoff chuckled and pulled Anna close, wrapping a strong arm around her shoulders.
"I do know. But Elsa's tougher than anyone. She's just tired from carrying around a baby, which you'd know a thing or two about if you gave yourself a minute to calm down."
Anna bit her lip, a sheepish smile creeping onto her face.
"I guess I am overreacting a little, huh?"
"Just a bit," Kristoff teased, squeezing Anna gently.
"But it's sweet. I'm sure Elsa appreciates how much you care."
Anna sighed again, this time in more resignation than worry, and leaned into Kristoff's side.
Kristoff's right. I'm just overreacting. Elsa's fine, she's just resting.
Elsa had reassured her yesterday that she was feeling fine, just a little worn out. Still, knowing her sister as well as she did, she couldn't help but worry.
The pregnancy had come as a bit of a surprise to everyone.
Elsa had always been focused on her duties as the ruler of both Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest, maintaining balance between the magical spirits and her own ice powers.
Though she and Kristoff had grown close over the years, Anna had never expected her sister to want children.
Elsa was always so measured, so careful with everything she did—and having a baby seemed like a huge leap for someone who once feared her emotions might harm others. But when she had announced her pregnancy, Anna had been thrilled beyond words.
Kristoff had looked both proud and a little overwhelmed, while Elsa, ever calm, had smiled with that quiet, serene expression she always wore when facing a new challenge.
Anna was excited too, but she couldn't help feeling a little protective. After everything Elsa had been through in her life—learning to control her powers, feeling isolated for so long—she wanted to make sure her sister was okay. More than okay, actually. She wanted Elsa to feel supported, loved, and as happy as possible during this new chapter in her life. Just as she was about to lose herself in another cycle of worried thoughts, there was a soft knock on the door to the living room.
