Heated Ice (Helsa)

Chapter Twenty-Six: Lunch Plans and Baby Names

Elsa slept happily in her bed, deep into sleep and was far from nightmares and far from her troubles of Arendelle.

"Elsa?" Hans voice came from the doorway, he smiled at her sleeping form and walked over to the bed. He tapped her shoulder lightly and smiled as he watched her rustle around then opened her big blue eyes up at him. "Good evening, sleeping beauty."

"Hans." She smiled and stretched out her arms then sat up in bed.

"Anna asked me to come get you. Supper is ready and a letter has arrived from the Southern Isles for you. I don't know what it's about though." He said and sat beside her in the bed. "What made you take a nap?"

"I was reading then I guess I just... Fell asleep." She shrugged and snuggled up to him. "I didn't have a nightmare, thank goodness." She said.

"That's good." He nodded and wrapped his arm around her and hugged her tightly. "Ready to go downstairs?"

"I guess so." She shrugged and pulled herself out of bed. "I'm in my nightgown though." She said and looked down at her dark blue nightgown.

"I'm sure no one will mind." He shrugged and stood up from the bed and crossed the room to her.

"Okay." She nodded and they started walking out of the room together side by side. "How has your day been?"

"I worked for awhile when you were sleeping. Kristoff actually came down and helped me out."

"Really?" She asked, her eyebrows raising slightly. "I honestly didn't really think he liked you."

"I don't blame him if he doesn't like me but he seemed to have no problem with me."

"That's really good. You're growing on everyone." She nudged him softly and in return he nudged back, they both giggled quietly and Elsa smiled up at him.

"I want to take you out to the restaurant tomorrow if that's okay? Unless you're busy then we always have the next day."

"I think I have more of the invitations to write and I'll have Anna help but after we could go. When do you think the best time to go is?"

"I was planning on the afternoon."

"Then I'll wake up early to start on the invitations."

"I could help you?" He offered. "If you want me to, I mean."

"I would love your company but you don't have to help." She smiled and squeezed his arm softly and put her arm through his.

"No, please let me help. I insist." He smiled down at her. "We can let Anna sleep in."

"That's okay. I want to spend some time with Anna. Tomorrow sounds absolutely perfect though." She smiled and they walked into the dining room, hearing Anna and Kristoff quietly arguing.

"I'm am too pregnant for this, Kristoff. I'm not arguing anymore." Anna snapped.

"That's your excuse for everything now." Kristoff complained and slammed a fist down onto the table.

"Ahem." Elsa cleared her throat at the doorway. Anna and Kristoff's heads popped up and they both looked over at Elsa like a deer in headlights. "I hope everything's okay between you two." She said and walked into the room and over to her usual seat.

"It is, we're just fine." Anna said and took a sip of her drink.

"I'm serious, you two. Too much stress could be bad for the baby and for delivery the baby." Elsa warned and sat comfortably into her chair with Hans sitting down beside her.

"I'll keep that in mind." Anna nodded and looked over at Kristoff. "I'm sorry for arguing." She smiled and squeezed his hand slightly.

"I'm sorry too. We won't argue... We really don't have any reasons to." He said and kissed her cheek softly.

"I'm happy that everything is better." Elsa smiled and looked over at Hans briefly then back to Anna. "When is the baby expected?"

"The doctor said from a few weeks to a month or so but I'm just ready. I want to see my baby."

"What names do you have in mind?"

"Um, we're not sure. I just think we'll name him or her when they're born." Anna shrugged and picked at her dinner. "I was thinking Lucy though for a girl." She smiled and laid a hand across her tummy. "Kristoff was thinking Conor for a boy but Kristoff and Conor sound really similar."

"I think that whatever you both decide to name the child that he or she will be beautiful. Who knows maybe when I have children of my own that they'll have ice powers?" Elsa smiled at the thought of having a family one day but then felt somewhat guilty that her child could possibly be stuck dealing with the childhood she had but she would never shut them away from anyone or any of her family.
