The next few days – weeks – mark a return to normalcy. Elsa's principal stares at her for a full five minutes the first day back, before calling her to her office to have a "chat".
"So." Principal Oswald picks up a pen, then puts it down again. "This is... unexpected," she says.
Elsa offers a half-shrug. She probably should have said something earlier.
"I'm uh, not due until February," she says. "It's no problem."
The principal nods. "I heard your husband..." She trails off meaningfully.
"I'm fine," Elsa says. Her boss nods and lets her go.
