Heated Ice (Helsa)

Chapter Ninety-Six:

A/N:

So about the previous chapter, I don't want you guys to think down on Hans about him 'putting Elsa aside' because I still want you loving his character and he still loves Elsa and their baby but is pretty determined :) so don't think too bad on how Hans is being! :) thanks for reading <3

It was still the same day Elsa was picking out baby names and Hans was cooped up in Elsa's office, going over different notes he's taken. He was almost sure his father did it but wasn't sure how to go about it. Lately his father was talking non-sense about having Arendelle under his control as if he was King, he was becoming more abusive with his mother and god only knows how many bruises she hides under her dress. He seemed as if he was becoming a little more insane everyday and even worse, but he would have good days where he'd kiss Susan and act like he enjoyed his children's company, but then it'd snap right back to him being impossible to be around.

If Hans would take his father to the courts to be determined if he was guilty his father could plea insanity if he was smart about it, which he tended to be able to turn the tables around. The only thing Hans needed was hard evidence against him, the wine bottle would be perfect. They had Elsa's glass that she drank out of and it was for sure her's, the only problem was finding that wine bottle or at least the poison he had used on her.

The true way to find out where his father retrieved the faulty poison was to go into the darker parts of Arendelle or the surrounding countries and find the dealer. Hans quickly tore off a piece of scratch paper and scribbled a note to Elsa.

Elsa, I'm leaving for a day or two to go into the city. I'll explain when I come back. I love you, please don't give up on me. - Hans xo

He stood from the desk, leaving the note, and quickly headed up to their bedroom and dressed himself into non-king like apparel and headed out through the castle to retrieve a horse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elsa poked her head into the bedroom, not finding Hans there either, then looked in the library and still no Hans. She checked in her office and noticed his notebook of his notes sitting.

That's odd, he'd never just leave this? Elsa thought.

She headed over to the desk and saw a scrap piece of paper sitting on top of the notebook, she read it quickly and anger burned into her veins. How could he just leave me without saying anything? She quickly grabbed the notebook and note, climbing too many sets of steps up to their bedroom. She threw the notebook down onto their bed angrily and paced across the floor, fuming with anger.

"How could he do this to me?" Elsa whispered to herself and then she heard a knock at the door. "What is it?" She seethed and Anna cleared her throat slightly and opened the door. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." She said and sat down on the bed, laying a hand on her belly. She needed to calm down or it could hurt the baby, too much stress could hurt him or her.

"I just wanted to inform you that the guards said Hans left on a horse. He was dressed crappy and didn't have any royal type dressing on the horse. The guards tried asking where he was going and tried getting him to stay but he left."

"Trust me, I know. He left me a note, not even deciding to tell me in person. Oh, I am so pissed at him but I'm trying not to stress myself out for the baby."

"Kristoff always yelled at me, in a good way, whenever I got stressed out while I was pregnant."

"Instead Hans is stressing me out. What was so important in the city that he had to leave that moment? I don't even know when he'll be back."

"I wish I could help. I could send Kristoff out to find him if you'd like?" Anna said and sat down beside Elsa, wrapping an arm her shoulder. "I'm sure everything will be okay. I promise."

"Thanks." Elsa nodded. "But that's okay about sending out Kristoff." She smiled and leaned into Anna, having her little sister hold her. "I don't think anything will be okay until he finds out who did it or I make him give this up completely. He can't be doing this."

"Would you like me to stay up here with you for the night?" She asked and felt Elsa nod.

"Please." Elsa said and pulled away, looking over her shoulder at his notebook. "I want to burn that."

"Don't do that." Anna said and took the notebook. "I think you should hide it from him instead and tell him he needs to stop. Don't burn it because that won't do anything but make him extremely mad or upset with you. You guys don't need that, neither does that little guy." She said and pointed towards her belly then handed her the notebook.

"That sounds like a better idea than burning it." Elsa said and turned it around in her hands then smiled up at Anna. "Thank you, you always know how to cheer me up."

"Hey, it's my job as a sister to pick you up when you're down." Anna smiled.

Elsa was grateful to have her as a sister, she was so forgiving and very logical when it came down to it. She was so determined for everyone to be happy and was so selfless, worrying only about everyone else. Especially for her sister, husband and children. Elsa hoped that one day Anna would learn to focus on herself just a bit more and take a day off from being a super hero for everyone.
