Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Negative. Negative. Negative. My heart sank yet again as I tossed the other stupid stick of plastic into the trashcan. Along with the other two. I guess not then. I knew what Anna herself, told me, I had proof right in front of me, yet I couldn't shake my disappointment. I hadn't realized how much it would affect me until I got back that night after the assembly.
Actually, I didn't even think about it after Rapunzel came back to chase us out of her room lest someone come in and catch us sleeping together. Anna gave me a quick kiss and bolted just as Eric came in, claiming he had a massive headache. (I wasn't worried about him because he barely even recognized me, what with him being half-asleep and all.) From there, I went back to doing my job without puking my guts up and only after I'd come back into my house did the thoughts begin to swarm me. Instead of that, I went right back out for a short drive, not to mention, so I could buy the things that would only suffice to give me more bad news.
I'm not pregnant with Anna's child.
Leaving a mess in the bathroom, I sauntered into my room and flopped face-down on my bed, burying my face in my pillow. Do I want- did I want to be pregnant? My stomach lurched, but I knew nothing was going to come up and eventually turned on my side to stare at the bathroom. I had no idea why I was feeling that way. Maybe because I'd thought too much about it, before talking to Anna, and that I had actually really wanted to be? I'd heard somewhere about a thing called baby fever that the majority of the ladies had at certain times of their lives and hadn't believed it until then. I have baby fever? Well, not for any random baby...
Sighing loudly, I turned on my back and tried to clear my mind as my hand absently rubbed at my stomach, but I quickly found myself wondering what it would be like to have a family with my redhead. The next second, I let out an annoyed snort at my weird behavior. Wow, this is way too early to be thought about, Woman. She barely turned eighteen. Not even graduated yet. There's no way either of you are ready for that big step. I blew my hair out of my face, pushing those thoughts away and I got back up so I could continue on my Arrow marathon. C'mon, Oliver. Distract me.
"Okay, you have to tell me who you're dating!" Belle lamented dramatically, threatening to choke me. I rolled my eyes and lazily avoided her hands.
"No." I stated, wiping my nose for the thousandth time. I was not feeling too good and I had to wonder why I allowed them to drag me out into the snow when all I wanted to do was hide under the covers. (Anna was at her dad's again this weekend, saying that they needed to fix, discuss, and do other junk that probably was better for me to stay out of.) I didn't mind because I'd woken up feeling like utter shit after she relayed the news to me. Coincidence? I think not! Thanks for the distraction, Oliver. I thought sarcastically.
"I know!" Rapunzel exclaimed, bringing me back to the table and making me kick her shin under the table. The brunette instantly cried out in pain before glaring at me. "I meant- Snow Leopard-" She cleared her throat as she rubbed her abused leg, "that I wanna know too. Geez woman." Muttering on about 'such a damned chipper mood' and 'needing to get laid,' Punzie then busied herself with blowing on her latte while Belle studied me closer.
"Are you sick?" She asked inquisitively, reaching over to put a hand on my forehead.
"Boy, nothing gets by you." I snarked before sneezing into my sleeve. My head was stuffy, yet my nose was running and I was actually cold, despite having the biggest jacket known to man on. No. I hate being like this! I should have gotten that shot before yesterday.' Like that would have helped.' I could barely hold myself in a sitting position, but instead of slouching back in my seat, I leaned forward, resting my head on my arms. "Wasn't that bad this morning." I mumbled, hearing gibberish instead, since my ears were clogged. I'll probably lose my voice sooner or later.
"Rapunzel, aren't you a nurse? Don't you have some sort of medicine to give her?" Belle sounded worried, but I waved her questions away, already knowing what that kinky brunette was going to say.
"Aw, got a fever, Baby?" Punzie cupped my cheeks, lifting my head up so she could put her forehead on mine. "I have the perfect remedy-" green eyes filled my vision and I stiffened.
"I am going to sneeze in your face if you don't back the hell off, Kritzer." I growled dangerously, well, as dangerously as a weakening sick woman could. She raised a brow and instantly dropped my head. And like the idiot I was, I allowed my head to thump into my arms while she dusted her hands off before turning to Belle. I groaned loudly as the sound of my own voice came back to knock me in the head as well.
"Never mind, I can't help this unfortunate human being." She told Belle before looking at me with a playful sneer. I gave her the bird and she laughed at me.
"Go away." I wiped my nose again.
"Elsa-" Belle tried but Rapunzel cut in.
"Fine, I will." She smirked triumphantly. "I've got a date anyway."
At that, I raised my head to give her a skeptical look. Belle wasn't on the same level as I was, so she was all too happy with this new set of information. I still wasn't sure about it, but from the way she was grinning from ear to ear, I had to rethink myself. Well, now.
"So, who is it?" Belle's eyes glinted like the hopeless romantic she was. "Don't keep us in suspense!"
"Oh, please do." I grumbled, but when Belle scoffed and hit my shoulder I cleared my throat in annoyance. "I mean, yes, please tell us."
"Well, only because I know she won't tell us who she's dating until she's ready, not to mention that Elsa said please." Punzie playfully nudged me and I about punched her. "Her name is Eugenia." As if Belle read my next thoughts, it was her turn to kick my shin. I was so shocked at her unexpected punishment that the pain didn't register until I saw Rapunzel frown at me, but by then, the moment was over. Ignoring my next bruise, I composed myself and shrugged.
"Eugenia? What happened to Ryder?" I asked instead, drawing both sets of eyes back to me. I realized that I'd interrupted their girl chat. Punzie rolled her eyes, leaning back and she pointed at me as if I wasn't supposed to bring it up. Oops.
"I told you about that the other night. It's over. Been over for the last," She paused. "I don't know, but remember when we partied that one night-"
"I was drunk too. I don't remember." I defended. Seriously, I needed to be so I could handle you.
"Ugh! I still don't know how An-" I saw green eyes widen in fear and she quickly changed her words, "A-anybody puts up with you." She sneered. For the life of me, I could not remember what she'd said that night. My mind was too muggy to think about it, though I had to give her some credit for not blabbing Anna's name like she wanted.
"Alright, I'm sorry." I lamented against my will. (I just really wanted to get out of here and back into my bed.) "Congrats."
"When do we meet her?" Belle asked and Rapunzel smirked.
"After we meet your significant other and when Elsa decides to tell us."
Both Belle and I looked at each other for a split second before letting out short chuckles. In all honesty, I wasn't sure if Belle was involved with Merida. My friend seemed to be dating the redhead, but Anna hadn't mentioned anything either. She could very well be dating Sven...'No. Wait, would he date her?' I shook my head, finally exhausted enough with these conversations to rise from the table.
"You know I will, I have to get over this cold first." I sneezed and wiped my nose one last time before excusing myself.
"I hope you feel better, Els." Belle stopped me by throwing her arms around my neck. "It looks like it's more than a cold to me, dear." She whispered and kissed my cheek, letting me go right after and I felt my stomach twist somewhat. I guess that could be partly true.
I only gave her a weak smile, not noticing the worry in Rapunzel's eyes too.
A fluttering sensation tickled my nose and I sneezed, turning back on my side. It followed me and I vigorously rubbed my nose. I just got it unstuffed! Murmurings of nothing in particular left my mouth as I again turned and buried my face into my pillow. I'm finally sleeping!
"Oh, wake up you." A voice drawled in my dream reality, making me crack open an eye to see Punzie leaning over me. "You took the medicine I left for you, right?"
"No." I mumbled, closing my eye. She knew I did because I had been out like a light bulb once I got back from that morning's coffee date.
"I hate to do this to you, but your parents-"
"Go see your woman." I drawled around a stretch. "I was having a good dream." Liar. But it was the peaceful kind.
"Good dream or not, you can't let me handle them alone!" She yanked my blankets off. "Your mom scares me."
"Well good!" I stomped after her like a five year old while she bounded down the hall ahead of me. "I swear, if you're lying-" I'd been trudging haphazardly down each step, making sure to voice my unhappiness through my stomping, when I heard the door close. Wait, did she- is she ditching me?! I frowned and picked up the pace, nearly stumbling down the last few steps until my feet touched the cool floor.
Just as I did, I opened my mouth to possibly yell at that traitor when I heard the deep bass of a guitar. My mouth clicked shut as my eyes searched for the source. The bass suddenly turned into a sharp funky beat and when I spotted my redhead, the first thing I saw was her hips keeping time with the beat. She was wearing her more tighter pair of pants that I enjoyed seeing her in. As much as I wanted to stare and drool at her delicious backside, my eyes snapped back up when she turned abruptly.
Hey...
She was wearing sunglasses, but when she turned to face me, she threw them away and pointed at me with a dopey grin, before going right back to playing. My eyes widened in surprise when I finally recognized the song and I barely held back my bark of laughter.
What's the matter with your head? yeah...
Hey...What's the matter with your mind and all your sighing?
And-a ooh-ohh
I had never seen her this goofy, but something told me that she was trying to cheer me up.
Hey...nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it.
Come on and find it.
Hell with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine
And you look so divine.
Tears suddenly stung my eyes, but I was afraid to move. Am I still dreaming? I had to pinch myself.
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
On that last one, she motioned for me to come closer by jerking her chin and my legs moved on their own.
Hey...what's the matter with your feel right?
Don't you feel right, baby?
Hey, oh yeah, get it from the main vine. Alright.
I said-a find it, find it, darling, love it.
If you like it, yeah-eh.
Hey...It's your business if you want some, take some
Get it together, baby.
Come and get your love...
I threw myself at her, not caring if she was done with the song or not. I wanted my redhead and nothing sure of an earthquake was going to keep me from her. "I want my love." I declared as I grabbed the neck of her new guitar and lifted her strap from around her shoulder. Instead of throwing it away, much like her sunglasses, I took the time to carefully set it down before wrapping my arms firmly around her neck.
"I'm so sorry, Elsa. I left you in your time of need." Her strong arms encircled me, causing my tears to flow more freely. "R-Rapunzel said she found some things in your bathroom-" Her voice faltered somewhat. "I didn't realize the kind of- I wasn't-"
"No, no, no." I sniffled and pressed kisses along her neck. I wanted to kiss her, but I didn't want her to catch what I had. "Y...you're here now and that's all that matters." I whispered as tenderly as I could.
"But-"
"Lay with me, Anna. Hold me." I swallowed the lump in my throat. She pulled back and leaned up to kiss me. I let her, only because I didn't want it to seem like I didn't want her to and I knew I would stumble over my own words, so I kissed her back. Tried to anyway.
"I told you to come and get your love." Anna murmured against my lips. "So kiss me like you mean it."
"I-I'm sick though."
"So?"
"What do you mean so?" I scoffed. "I don't want you to get sick-"
"I'll be glad to help you get over your sickness, Meu Bem. I'll do anything for you too." Anna pushed my hair out of my face, reminding me that I probably looked like a train wreck. "I love you, Elsa. Now, let me take care of you." She kissed my cheek.
For the first time, I was at a loss of words. I hadn't realized how much I needed her until that exact moment and I practically fell apart in her arms.
"I love you too, Anna. So much, you don' even know." I somehow managed to choke out.
"Oh, but I do." Anna argued. "Because I love you that much too."
A/N: Come And Get Your Love. by: Redbone. (I own nothing.)
That song is so awesome! I suggest you give it a listen if you haven't at this moment in time. Anyway, I'm not sure if this chapter came out right...but I did think it was sweet either way.
Thank you all for reading, reviewing, all that jazz and stay awesome! Tootles~
