Chapter 4: Another year of life

It had been a week since Elsa's humiliating ordeal and it was now the third day of her birth-week, which was in fact, her actual birthday. She and the freaks were thoroughly enjoying themselves as they did every year they celebrated her birthday. It was a lot of work planning the week but to the freaks, it was worth it. The week was a break from the show and other chores they did for the show. Not only was this week marking her day of birth, but her sixth week of pregnancy as well and Elsa was definitely feeling the symptoms of the pregnancy kick in. She got up later than usual, had occasional cramps, her breasts were sore, and she was nauseous. Ethel made sure Elsa was getting three proper meals every day and Jimmy made sure she got a good amount of sleep and didn't have a large, stressful workload put on her. Even with the amount of pre-cautions Elsa was having taken care of, the group still saw how tired she looked and how hard she was working to fully appreciate the things they planned for her.

"What's next?" Elsa smiled and waited for the next activity the freaks planned for her.

"Ya know Elsa, you really should turn in early tonight." Paul urged Elsa, but it was all part of the surprise he was in on.

"Why? Didn't you all have something else planned?" Elsa didn't want to ruin anything, although it was her special day.

"No it's ok, we can save them for the rest of the week. We have plenty of time." Eve went along with Paul and his timing.

"Are you all sure?"

"Ya, it is your day after all. Head to your tent and we'll have a fresh start tomorrow. Happy birthday, Elsa." Paul smiled.

"Thank you all for making this day special. Goodnight my monsters." Elsa stood from her throne she sat in during her birth-week and headed to her tent. As she was walking to her tent, she looked to the ground and saw a trail of red rose petals which lead all the way into her tent. Elsa looked up. A large white porcelain tub was fulled to the brim with water and rose petals. There was a note on the floor near the tub and Elsa picked it up.

The sweetest of flowers for my sweet flower.

Elsa laughed at the simple note. Jimmy could be so cheesy sometimes. Elsa stripped her entire body of her clothes, except for her bra, and her prosthetics and lowered herself into the tub as best as she could. Elsa let out a deep breath and rested her head on the edge of the tub.

"Happy birthday baby." Jimmy grabbed Elsa's shoulders and started to massage her.

"You know I could get used to this." Elsa smiled and relaxed her entire body.

"I know you could." Jimmy continued to massage her shoulders. "How were you feeling today?"

"Tired, sore."

"Am I helping that?"

"Mhmm. And in more than one way." Elsa hung her head forward. Jimmy rubbed her back.

"You wanna get out?" Elsa raised both of her arms and Jimmy lifted her from the rose petal, filled tub. He wrapped a towel around her and set her on the bed.

"Why didn't you take it off?" Jimmy motioned to her bra and Elsa shook her head.

"I didn't feel like it." She shrugged. Jimmy removed his shoes and clothes, and the towel from Elsa getting on top the bed with her. Jimmy kissed Elsa on the lips and inched his way to her breasts. He reached behind her about to unclasp her bra but she quickly moved his hands away.

"What's wrong? C'mon, you never take your top off. Tell me why you really don't take it off." Since the very beginning of their relationship, Elsa never took her bra or top off whenever they had sex. She told him it was sexy, and it gave their relationship an element of mystery but lately Jimmy was starting to wonder the real reason she never exposed her breasts whenever they had sex.

"I've told you before."

Jimmy pushed a piece of Elsa's hair behind her ear. It may have seemed as if their entire relationship was based off of sex because of that one action Jimmy imposed but that wasn't it at all. Jimmy loved Elsa with his entire mind, body and soul, and pleasing her was the way he showed it most often."You know that I would never force you so do something you don't want to do right? I've seen so much of you already. I mean, I just want to understand where you're coming from."

"I- I'm not young anymore, I just turned 43, my body isn't what it once was. We're 15 years apart, how- how can you want to be with someone so much older than yourself?" Elsa paused. "I don't take my top off because I'm embarrassed of my body reflecting my age. My breasts aren't as firm as all of the young woman you could've had a relationship with but didn't." Elsa looked down. Lately the couple had been going through alot of personal confessions. Jimmy lifted Elsa's chin with his finger.

"Hey, if I wanted that don't you think I'd be after it? So what if your breasts aren't as firm or you're not the skinniest woman out there. I love you for you, and I don't care what anyone has to say about us." Elsa began to cry and leaned into Jimmy, wrapping her arms around him. She sat up straight and reached her arms behind her, unclasping her bra and let it fall off her body. She tightly closed her eyes until she felt Jimmy wrap his arms around her middle and kiss her neck, once again working his way down to her breasts. He lightly brushed his hand across her chest and she gasped.

"Happy birthday Elsa." The couple wrapped their arms around each other, finally tumbling on top of the bed.
