She grabbed the bed sheets in agony. Her eyes filled with water. Her last birth was not nearly as painful as this one. She gripped his hand and bit her lip. He kissed her forehead. She prepared to push.
"I love you Elsa. Everything will be okay." He says. She nods in agreement. She screams and prepares.
16 years later
She walked into the dinning hall. A strand of her light blond hair covered her eyes. She shook her head and walked to a seat next to her cousin Lily.
"Icelynn." Her mother spoke. She looked across the table. "You're late."
"Colden isn't here yet either."
"But your father, mother, aunt, uncle, and cousins all are."
"I-"
"I'll let it slide...because it's your birthday!" Her mother smiles happily. She can't help but smile back. She and her mother had so much in common.
Everyone at the table smiled and cheered. She can't help but think. Thinking is her thing. It always has been. She loves her family. No matter what they're everything to her. The dinning hall doors swung open.
"Happy birthday sis!" He slurs. He walks forward swaying. It feels like his world is spinning.
"Colden." His father called.
"Yes?"
"Sit down."
"What if I don't wanna?" Then he falls. For the third day in a row, Colden frost has managed to embarrass his family before 9:00 A.M.
