Street: Yeah blood relatives can. My Aunt and Uncle are my god parents. Yeah poor Jamie and Emma. This chapter answers that last bit.

iheartjelsa: Ah okay. Gotcha. I wouldn't think it would be awkward (people have like fifty year old Elsa in love with 17 year old Jack). Didn't quite understand that last bit, you contradicted yourself. If your asking for my help, my answer would be; of course I will provide any help I can.

barlowbabes: Yep you are correct.

Chapter 40: A Solution

Jamie finished telling Emma everything that the doctor had told him. Emma looked very upset. The news that they may not be able to have children was not something that they wanted to hear. Emma started to cry a bit and Jamie pulled her in for a hug. There was still a chance that they could have children though. They did have options. Jamie and Emma could adopt a child but after their doctor's meeting the next day, both of them had something different in mind. Their doctor had gone over all their options ranging from adoption to IVF to surrogacy. Jamie and Emma listened quite intently to what their doctor was saying before they made a decision.

The following week Jamie and Emma were meeting Emma's sister, Laura for lunch. Emma was a little nervous in asking her what they were about to ask. What if she said no? Jamie just hoped that she wouldn't. Laura greeted them both with enthusiasm before they ordered. It wasn't until they had their food did Emma start to talk.

"There was a reason why we invited you to lunch today," Emma said.

"I knew it," Laura said. "Free food? There has to be a catch. There's no such thing a free lunch."

"Well you don't really know but Jamie and I, well we've been trying to have a baby," Emma said.

Laura looked up and then got really excited.

"You're pregnant?" she asked.

"No," Emma gave a sideways look at Jamie before she continued. "Jamie and I, well we can't have children the normal way."

"What does that mean?" Laura asked looking worried.

"The doctor suggests that the best way would be to use IVF and use a surrogate," Emma explained.

"And we would like you to be that surrogate," Jamie said nervously.

There was a small pause as Laura thought over what they had said to her.

"Of course," Laura said. "Help you guys get a child? This would be awesome."

"Oh thank God," Emma said clutching her chest. "I honestly thought you would say no."

"Why would I say no?"

"Well because it would be putting your body through pregnancy and labour and it's all for someone else," Jamie said.

"Oh," Laura said with her face falling, "but it will be helping my big sister despite her flaws."

"Hey!" Emma said but they both laughed anyway.


Two Months Later

"Hey Anna?" Elsa said.

"Yeah?" Anna replied.

"Is labour hard?"

"It's the hardest thing you will ever do."

"Great," Elsa said very sarcastically.

They were both in the library. Anna was picking out a book to read to her children later that night when they would go to bed. Elsa was busy studying up on pregnancy. She was now three months pregnant and a small baby bump could now be seen. Anna turned around to look at Elsa and gave her a smile.

"Oh don't worry about that Elsa," she said warmly. "The labour is only one part. You then have to raise the child and that's no walk in the park."

"Oh yeah," Elsa said.

"And you have to do it with Jack," Anna laughed.

"Hey Jack will make a great father," Elsa retorted back.

"I'm just saying that Jack will probably screw the baby up in his own special way."

"Damn, you might actually be right there."

"Elsa I'm a mother, I'm always right."

"Is that a super power Mums get?"

"One of many my friend."

"Cool."


Jamie, Emma and Laura were all at the doctor's office. They were getting ready to see if they could proceed with the plan. However it was not to be. The doctor said they would have to wait a while before they could. This didn't really bother Jamie or Emma though. Just the fact that Laura had agreed to carry their baby was amazing.

"I just want to let you guys know that I get to be the baby's favourite Aunt," Laura said. "Not Sophie."

"I think that's pretty reasonable," Jamie said looking at Emma who nodded.

"Good," Laura smiled. "I also want you guys to know that I will do this as many times as it takes."

"I take back every mean thing I have ever done to you Laura," Emma said while Laura laughed.

"I like iPhones if you're looking for a way to thank me," Laura joked.

"Well we're a little broke from having to do this, so maybe next time?" Emma suggested which made everyone laugh.

"You know it's so lucky that I don't have a boyfriend," Laura said. "This would be a little awkward to try and explain."

"What happened to the guy at the Christmas Party?" Emma asked.

"Oh he didn't work out."

"Oh too bad."

"How would it be awkward?" Jamie said. "You're just doing a favour for your sister?"

"Well normal favours include like babysitting or picking up something for them, doesn't it?"

"Yeah they kind of do," Emma said. "But it's such a gesture. I'm sure than if someone found out the truth, they would love you even more."

"That's true," Laura lit up while made both Emma and Jamie smile.

"Do Mum and Dad know?" Laura asked.

"Not yet," Emma said. "Which is why we're telling them tomorrow at dinner."

"Oh joy," Laura said. "This is going to be fun."

"It's going to be interesting," Jamie said.


Emma soon found herself eating dinner with her parents, husband and sister. Emma was waiting for the perfect opening to tell her parents. Eventually they got onto it. Apparently one of Emma's Mum's friends' daughter was having her first child which was making the friend very happy to have a first grandchild.

"Speaking of grandchildren," Emma said but she didn't get very far. Her mother then interrupted her.

"You're pregnant?" her Mum asked eagerly.

"Why does everyone keep asking that?" Emma said before answering the question. "No I am not."

"Then what did you want to talk about?" their Dad said.

"We um, we um," Emma stuttered.

"We can't have kids," Jamie muttered.

"Oh no," Emma's Mum said. "So what are you guys going to do?"

"We've asked Laura to be a surrogate," Emma muttered.

"Really?" Emma's Mum looked at her youngest daughter with interest. "Are you sure you want to do this? It's a great thing to do for your sister."

"Yeah I do," Laura nodded. "Emma would do it for me if I asked."

"I don't know," Emma laughed which made Laura grin.

"Besides I want to help Jamie and Emma have a child. I want to be an Aunt," Laura continued.

"And we cannot thank you enough," Emma smiled.


Three Months Later

Elsa was at the dining room table. She had been running Gerda and Kai ragged with her constant and crazy cravings. She was now five months pregnant and she had found out the gender of the baby that day. She hadn't yet told Jack as he had been busy helping Gerda prepare the nursery. She was about to now though. Jack soon came into the room and gave her a small kiss before he sat down next to her and he told her all about his day. Anna and Kristoff came in followed by their three kids. Elsa was vividly reminded of ducklings following their mother.

"So how was the doctor's today?" Anna asked.

"You went to the doctor's today?" Jack suddenly said. "Why didn't I know about it? Is the baby okay? Are you okay? Is something wrong?"

"Relax sweetie," Elsa placed her hand on his. "It was my regular check-up. Everything is fine."

"Oh thank God," Jack said taking in a deep breath.

"I did find out the gender though," Elsa said slyly.

"What?" they all said.

"Are we having a son or daughter?" Jack asked.

"Am I going to have a niece or nephew?" Anna asked.

"What she said," Kristoff said jabbing his thump to Anna.

Elsa remained quiet while they all looked at her expectantly. Elsa didn't say anything while she dug into her dinner (which was chicken nuggets and cornflakes with marmite while the others were having plain old lamb roast).

"Oh come on Elsa," they all said.

"Alright, alright," Elsa said. She was enjoying herself by tormenting them. "It's a –"

"Dinner," Kai suddenly said coming into the dining room with food for Jack, Anna, Kristoff and their children.

"Oh come on," Jack said. "Kai we love you and can't function without you but you have horrible timing sometimes."

"Like how you and Jack were getting down and dirty in the library and Kai walked in?" Anna smirked.

"What?" Elsa and Jack both looked highly embarrassed.

"How do you know that?" Elsa asked.

"I know these things," Anna said tapping her nose.

Elsa and Jack blushed very deeply as Kai, who seemed to be enjoying the conversation between the royals, handed out dinner for all of them. Nobody spoke as they ate. Elsa was having a painful flashback and she was trying to get the image of Kai walking in on her and Jack and looking very embarrassed.

"So let's have a change in subject," Kristoff suggested.

"Yes," Elsa said. "Let's."

"Like if we are having a son or daughter," Jack said.

"Okay," Elsa put down her fork. She turned to face Jack. "It's going to be a boy."

She grinned at him. Jack looked simply amazed. Well to be fair, Elsa knew he would be amazed either way.

"A little boy," he whispered.

"So basically since it's going to be a boy, Jack is going to give the kid girl advice and end up failing so Elsa will have to correct the advice?" Anna asked.

"Yeah pretty much," Elsa said picking up her fork again.

"Hey!" Jack said. "I resent that remark."

"Sweetie," Elsa said to him. "It took you like what three months for you to admit that you liked me. How are you going to tell our son what to do when he likes a girl?"

"I will give our boy the best advice he can get."

"Let's just hope that the advice will be a repetition from what you are told by Anna or Kristoff," Elsa said slyly.

"Hey!" Jack said. "Stop teaming up on me!"

"Okay, okay," Elsa said. "I've had my fun. Jack I know you are going to be a wonderful father."

"Thank you," Jack looked rather smug.

"Despite your advice-failing skills," Elsa finished to which Jack looked mortified.

"Hey! What happened to stop teasing Jack?"

"I've changed my mind."

Jack slouched in his chair. His expression was so adorable. Elsa leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"Better?" she asked.

"Maybe," he said.

Elsa gave him another kiss. Jack looked a little happier which made Elsa laugh.

The next day Elsa was walking along the corridor and headed into her study to do some work. Inside she got a bit of a surprise. Jack was in there leaning over what looked like a family tree. On closer expectation, it was one of hers. Elsa leaned over it. Elsa's family history was recorded in quite a bit of detail. Well it would, it being the royal family and all.

"What are you doing?" Elsa whispered in Jack's ear.

Jack hadn't heard Elsa come in. He jumped slightly before realising that it was his wife who was standing next to him. Elsa had a bit of a grin on her face.

"Don't scare me like that Elsa," Jack said his breathing sounds returning to normal.

"Sorry," Elsa laughed. "So what are you up to?"

"I'm studying your family tree," Jack said simply.

"I can see that but why?" Elsa said slowly. "Is there some family reunion coming up that I don't know about? It would be quite a feat considering most of these people are dead."

"No I'm studying it for other reasons."

"Which are?" Elsa prompted.

"I'm looking for baby names," Jack said blushing a little. "I wanted to study up on your family history so I would know what kinds of names would be good to suggest."

"Aw," Elsa wrapped her arms around Jack. "That is so sweet."

"Yeah," Jack smiled.

"So any good ones you have found?" Elsa said leaning over Jack's shoulder.

"A few," Jack pointed to some of the names. "These are cool. I never knew that Scandinavian could be so cool."

"Yeah they're like that," Elsa laughed.

For the next hour, they tried to figure out what would be a good name to name their son. After a while, they eventually settled on a name they both liked. They went to bed that night feeling pretty good with themselves.
