Story Disclaimer(s): This story takes place in the same time that freak show is occurring now (circa 1952). Meep did die and the twins are still at the camp. Dandy is not a large part of this and basically it starts after episode four. There are no terrors or killings/major massacres (that will directly affect the "main cast" of the story). Ethel isn't dying either and that doctor doesn't die as well. One last thing, there is no Maggie or Stanley.

Elsa is around 43-45 years old. She and Jimmy have been together since before freak show meaning their relationship started before the first episode aired if those terms make sense. Remember, this is fanfiction and anyone can choose to write what they want. This might be an acquired taste of relationship but in my eyes it works. Also I don't feel I have to type in full accent for each character, like I do with Kit and Jude. But I will type sometimes type in their accent if necessary. Enjoy.

Chapter One: A game of Scrabble

Everyone knew about Elsa and Jimmy. They never needed to make it a secret. Why would they? They were all family after all. Ethel knew, Eve knew, Paul knew, the twins knew. There wasn't one person who was part of that family who didn't. But no one, not even Elsa herself, would have thought their relationship would lead up to this.

"You say you're what now?! And you're 100% positive?" Ethel was in absolute awe. There really was no other way to describe how she felt and reacted to this news.

"Well you should know! You've been through this!And yes I am!" Elsa paced back and forth in her glamorous tent. She didn't know how to react about telling this news to her sister.

"Yeah well, I didn't think it would happen to you." Ethel scoffed and sat down. She needed to sit. It was definitely necessary to sit down at this time. Elsa stopped pacing.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She took a seat next to Ethel.

"Well it's supposed to mean that, A, I didn't expect you to get pregnant and, B, with my grandchild!" Ethel was happy for her but she couldn't help but be surprised. She never disapproved of her son's relationship in any way but it was still a shock.

"Well who better to give you a grandchild than me?" Elsa joked. Her smile faded. "I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to have this baby?"

"The same way all women do hun. Does Jimmy know?"

"Not yet. I planned on telling him soon, tonight."

"I don't wanna know. What you two do on your own is your own business. I mean, I already know you two have done it enough times to have a baby." Ethel smiled. "I'm glad you two are happy. You've kept Jimmy in a place to know that life isn't all bad, and that's never easy for us. Thank you."

"Well he's done the same for me and I'm happy to have his baby." Elsa was sort of shy to admitting to that but it was the truth.

"Don't be ashamed honey. It's always a blessing to have a child with the man you love. Especially if that man loves you back. Now in a few months you're gonna be a mommy!" Elsa had to let that sink in for a moment. She was going to become a mother. A mother to a child she is having with the man she loves.

"Do you think I'll be a good mother?"

"Of course! You've been taking care of us for so long. I know some of them feel like you're their mother."

"And you are all still my children, except for my lover of course, but I haven't birthed any of you by any means. Why do I feel like this child is going to be different?"

"Because they will. Your own flesh and blood, it means a lot, Elsa. Now I'll call your lover boy in here so you can tell him the news. Congratulations honey."

"Thank you, Ethel." Elsa smiled at her, letting go of their once held hands. It gave her a few minutes to reflect on what the future had planned for her.

"Hey honey." Jimmy walked in the tent causing Elsa to lose her train of thought and look up.

"Hello sweetheart." The couple gave each other a quick peck on the lips.

"Ma said that it was time to turn in so she headed to her caravan." Jimmy spoke as he unbuttoned his flannel and tossed it aside leaving his white t-shirt on.

"That's okay." Elsa pulled a box from under a few records and tossed it on the bed. "You wanna play Scrabble?" Elsa smiled and her lover smiled back.

...

"Go." Elsa looked at her tray of letters and thought "Perfect." She had the letters to spell yet another word having to do with the 9 month aftermath of her situation. So far she had spelled cradle, blanket, bottle, and even baby. How couldn't he understand what she was literally spelling out, right in front of him?!

"Nice word!" He said as he wrote down her score.

"Do you see a pattern at all?" Elsa questioned him.

"Yeah." Jimmy smiled. Elsa's face lit up. He finally got a clue!

"You do?!"

"Yes I do. You're always winning! I have to up my game!" Jimmy was oblivious.

Elsa was getting impatient with him. "No! Not that! Have you seen the words I've spelled?! Cradle, bottle, baby! I'm pregnant! I'm having your baby!" Elsa now stood up waving her arms in the air as a sign of "This is it"!

Jimmy had the biggest grin on his face as he walked toward her. "You're what?"

Elsa lowered her voice now, repeating what she said,"I'm pregnant." She smiled at Jimmy. As they embraced, he picked her up off the ground spinning her around. The two lovers were wildly laughing and Jimmy kissed Elsa hard on the lips. "I love you Elsa Mars."

"And I love you too, Jimmy Darling." The couple deepened their kiss and soon took a breath. "How are we going to tell the others?"

"We can worry about that in the morning." They laughed and pushed the game of Scrabble off the bed before tumbling back on it.
