"So," Elsa said, staring out the window of the carriage. They were all loaded up in the carriage and ready to go back to the castle. "Where does everyone think I've been?"

"Busy, reading, not wanting to be bothered, and these past weeks while you've been at the house I said you were visiting Rapunzel."

"I see." Elsa nodded. "Wait, does Anna know?"

"Of course she does. She came to the house a few times while you've been here." He smiled and looked out the window at the forest around them, the forest was mostly green with millions of wild flowers scattering random spots on the ground. It was really calming for him.

"Hey," Elsa said and looked to Hans. "Do you remember when that old woman came to the house? Blessing me with a child?"

"Yes, and I haven't seen her since." Hans shrugged. "Why?"

"What if I am pregnant?" Elsa asked, hoping for a happy response from him but she only got a cold stare from him then another shrug.

"Then we're having a baby." He said, not making eye contact. "I'd love to start a family with you but I'd like to figure us out before we throw a kid into the mix." He said, grabbing her hand and held it firmly. "Especially now." He added.

"I understand, it's just hard to hear that you don't want a baby." She said and tried pushing the subject away. But what if I am pregnant? Then what? Elsa thought and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh," Elsa said, thinking up a quick excuse. "That was a happy sigh. I'm ready to see Anna."

"Okay, good." He nodded, and gave a small squeeze to her hand. "I didn't want you mad at me."

"I'm not." Elsa shrugged and soon enough the carriage came to a stop at the back of the castle. Hans hurried Elsa out of the carriage and they stood near the back door to the kitchen.

"You head in and find Anna, I'll carry in your suitcase." Hans said and didn't give her time to object. He hurried back to the carriage and Elsa went into the castle, standing in the kitchen.

"Queen Elsa?" The chef, Victor, entered into the kitchen and gave her a weird look. "What are you doing in the kitchen, ma'am?"

"Oh," Elsa said. "Um, well, I-"

"That's okay, ma'am. No explanation needed but breakfast is waiting in the dining room."

"Oh! Perfect, thank you." Elsa smiled and made her way out to the entrance into the hallway. "Do you know if Princess Anna is there?"

"Yes, she is, ma'am." He nodded.

"Thank you, Victor." Elsa smiled and she practically ran into the dining room to find Anna and Kristoff sitting at the dining room table with Mia and Conner sitting in their height chairs. "Anna!" Elsa yelled and Anna stood up from the chair, knocking it over in the process, and ran out to hug Elsa.

"Elsa! Oh my gosh!" Anna said and hugged her tightly, then pulled back and looked at her from head to toe. "You look great."

"Thanks, you too." Elsa grinned and heard a quiet grunt. Elsa and Anna looked over to see Laila and Henry looking over to Elsa. Laila glared heatedly over to Elsa and Henry just gave Elsa a small smile then went back to eating.

"Why are you guys acting like you haven't seen each other in years?" Laila asked, taking a small stab into her eggs, making the yoke bleed out onto the plate.

"Well, I actually just got back from my cousin's home and it's been awhile since I've spent so much time away from Anna."

"Really? It shouldn't be too hard, I've heard how you shut Anna out for... Oh, what was it? Over ten years?" Laila smirked and watched as Elsa went from happiness to pure anger in a matter of seconds. "But please, go on with your stupid sister reunion."

"Get-" Elsa started and felt larger hands wrapped around her skinny arms but they weren't trying to hurt her, more or less comforting her. She looked back to see Hans standing behind her. He gave her a small smile and immediately calmed her down.

"Isn't it nice to have Elsa home everyone?" Hans asked, more so directing it at Laila. "Laila, could I have a word with you?"

"Oh, Hans! Lighten up, I was just teasing." Laila smiled, a horrible smile really.

"It really wasn't a question." Hans snapped.

"Hans, Laila doesn't need to go with you." Henry said and stood from his chair to grab more food.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll bring Laila back when you need sex, it shouldn't take more than five minutes." Hans said and everyone's jaw dropped, while everyone was in shock Hans grabbed Laila and took her out into the hallway and closed the doors after he left.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why he said that." Elsa said but Henry only shrugged it off.

"I'm perfectly fine, words don't hurt anymore really." He said, his words pretty slurred and Elsa looked down at his cup, it was full of a purple colored wine. Elsa stared at it in confusion for a few seconds until Henry said something that made her snap out of it. "Elsa?" He asked.

"Yes? I'm sorry... I zoned out for a second."

"Join us for breakfast?" He said and gestured towards the buffet of breakfast foods then to a chair right across from him but next to Anna.

"Sure." Elsa nodded, she was a little hungry and still couldn't figure out why the wine was so familiar. Maybe they had it at the wedding reception? She quickly cleared her thoughts and sat down to enjoy breakfast with Anna and Kristoff's company.
