Chapter 41: The Crown Prince
Four Months Later
Everyone was getting excited. Soon the newest addition to the royal family of Arendelle would soon arrive. Elsa, herself, was getting quite nervous. In less than a couple of weeks she would have to give birth. Anna was trying her best to calm Elsa down but she was only making things worse. Then after the whole labour thing, Elsa had to be a parent and a Queen. At the same time. This was going to be very, very difficult. They received constant calls from Mrs. Frost asking how long the baby will be. Mrs. Frost was clearly very impatient to meet her first grandchild. Jack was the same. He wanted to have his baby son in his arms very soon. Elsa was the same although she was freaking out a bit. Watching the birthing video that she had been given by her private doctor hadn't helped out at all. It had only made her feel a lot worse.
Elsa felt like she was prepared though. She had read every single book there was about pregnancy, birth and being a parent. She also had Anna's expertise to help her out. Anna had to run around after three young children all under the age of ten. She was more than an expert in the area.
Jack was having quite a pleasant dream one night when suddenly he could feel himself being shaken awake. He wasn't amused. He had been enjoying himself.
"Jack, Jack!" it was Elsa's voice and she sounded quite panicky about something.
Jack quickly opened his eyes and rubbed them before looking at the clock to see what time it was.
"Elsa, it is the middle of the night-" he stopped when he saw her panicked look. "What's wrong?" he said also sounding worried.
"I think my water just broke," Elsa whispered.
"What?" Jack tried to get out of bed so fast that he ended up falling over himself and landing in a heap on the floor. "Panic stations," he said. "Every man to his positions. The baby is early."
Jack quickly threw Elsa some shoes and a jacket while he himself got into a jacket. He quickly raced down the corridor while trying to do up his shoelace so he really hopped down the hallway. He quickly hammered on Anna's and Kristoff's door and he was met with a sleepy Kristoff.
"Jack, it's the middle of the night," Kristoff yawned.
"Baby time," Jack yelled.
"Baby time?" Jack heard Anna shout from her bed.
Jack raced back to his bedroom. Elsa had managed to get herself out of the bed and looked ready to go. Jack quickly grabbed the bag they needed. Jack helped Elsa out and soon they heard people running about. Kai appeared, dressed in a nightgown and told them that a car was waiting for them by the door. Jack helped Elsa down the steps while telling her breath in deeply. Anna and Kristoff were already by the door. They had just thrown coats on over their pyjamas and were wearing slippers instead of shoes. Jack had to grin at Anna's fluffy bunny rabbit slippers.
They all clambered into the car and headed off to the hospital. Jack raced around trying to find a wheelchair and quickly managed to find one. He got Elsa into it before he ran while wheeling her to the front desk. Jack collapsed at the counter while the woman looked surprised to see him there. Jack tried to get out what was going on through his heavy breathing but the woman didn't seem to get what he was saying. Eventually she saw Elsa and gave a little squeak before regaining herself. She typed some things into her computer and told them to head up to the maternity ward. Jack did so at top speed.
They were in a private room and soon Elsa was lying on the bed crying with pain. Thankfully the doctor came ten minutes later to help with that situation. The doctor examined Elsa before telling her that everything was okay and promised to come back soon. Elsa looked like she was in real discomfort. Jack held her hand and stroked her arm with the other hand. Anna and Kristoff soon came into the room and it looked like they were eating something.
"Where have you been?" Elsa asked.
"Getting food," Anna said simply holding up a white paper bag that contained some form of takeout.
"I want food Jack," Elsa moaned.
"You can only have ice chips," Jack said smoothly. He then turned to Kristoff. "But I'll have some of your hot chips."
"Help yourself," Kristoff extended the bag to him and Jack dug his hand it in and pulled out some chips before stuffing them in his mouth.
Elsa looked at the chips with longing. She hadn't eaten much that day and so she was probably starving. Jack didn't feel guilty at all. He was hungry too and he was just solving that problem.
"We got you a burger," Anna said handing him a bag.
"Ah excellent," Jack said taking it out and taking a bit. "Oh this tastes good."
"You guys are mean," Elsa groaned. "I'm the one in labour and you guys are stuffing your faces."
"Sorry honey," Jack said, "but we're hungry."
"It would be nice if you could share to the entire class but noooo."
Jack just laughed. Jack then put his feet up while Anna and Kristoff took seats next to Jack. They continued to talk for a while. The doctor came back twice during that time and told them that it would still be a bit of a wait. Anna had told them that the media had camped outside the hospital for the royal baby photos. Elsa was too uncomfortable to care. Jack, on the other hand, didn't exactly want his son to be paraded around but he guessed that since he will be the crown prince, he might just have to be.
"How much longer?" Jack whined as he stared at the TV. It was doing reruns of The Flinstones. Jack was starting to feel impatient but at least he wasn't the one who actually had to do the labour.
"Let's see," Anna checked her watch, "it's been seven hours already."
"This is taking forever," Jack said he turned to the baby bump. "Look son you are wanted in the world so you better get a move on as everyone is waiting."
"Jack, he will come when he comes," Elsa said.
"It's just taking forever!"
"Jack, think how I feel," Elsa reasoned. "I am the one who actually has to do all of it. You just get to sit there and watch and coach."
"We do have the easy job," Kristoff said.
"Yeah you do," Anna muttered darkly turning the page of the magazine she was holding. "Three labours and you don't hear me wanting a forth."
"But sweetie," Kristoff started.
"No means no," Anna said. "If you want to carry it, give birth to it, you go right ahead."
"But I can't do those things!"
"Tough luck then," Anna said to which Jack and Elsa laughed.
"Are we going to have a second?" Jack asked Elsa.
"Jack we haven't even had the first, slow down for a moment," Elsa said.
"I know, I'm just excited."
"And eager," Anna added.
"And eager," Jack agreed.
Night turned to day as they watched the sun come up. Anna checked her watch and saw that it was the early hours of the morning. The doctor came back in to do another check for Elsa. The doctor was smiling and told them that Elsa and Jack were about to be parents. Elsa was wheeled into the delivery room and a while later, Jack had a little bundle in his arms that had small amounts of white hair on his head. Elsa was lying back in bed. She looked exhausted but pleased. Jack passed the baby to Anna who simply thought he looked adorable. He had Jack's white hair and a sort of mixture between Jack's and Elsa's blue eyes.
"Anna meet Leif Jackson Frost," Jack said proudly.
"Hello Leif," Anna said. "I'm your Aunt Anna."
The next day Jack and Elsa headed out of hospital with little baby Leif in Elsa's arms. The media instantly started asking questions. They allowed them to ask a few and gave them some answers. When they got home, Jack raced off to tell his Mum and sister while Elsa headed to bed. Leif was sleeping peacefully in her arms so she put him in his crib just before she collapsed in her bed. Jack then came back into the room.
"So Mum is thrilled," Jack said.
"That's great," Elsa yawned.
Jack then lay down on the bed and before any of them knew it, they were both asleep.
Five Months Later
Jamie, Emma and Laura were at the doctor's office. Their doctor was going over some last minute stuff before she turned to the three people sitting opposite her.
"So you guys all understand what is going to happen?" she asked.
They all nodded.
"Alright," the doctor said. "Laura, let's do this."
After finishing up at the doctor's office, Laura went to get food with some of her friends. She felt weird. She could be pregnant and carrying her sister's and brother-in-law's child within her. It felt so nice to be doing something for them. She found the restaurant and sat down next to her friend Susan while she sat opposite her friends Natalie and Joan.
"So they're in there?" Susan asked.
"Yep," Laura said.
"Fingers crossed," Natalie said.
"So is the child biologically yours in any way?" Joan asked.
"No," Laura. "Well kind of, I am his or her Aunt."
"Gotcha."
The day flew past and Laura certainly didn't feel any different. She wondered if the whole thing had worked. The next day came and Laura decided to take a pregnancy test. The doctor had said it was early so potentially she may not be pregnant but that doesn't mean she won't get pregnant. Later that day Laura took the test and waited. She checked her watch and noticed that it was time. She stared at the result.
Jamie and Emma came over to Laura's. She told them she had news for them. They knocked on her door and let themselves in. Laura looked pleased about something. Jamie and Emma bother wondered what it could be. Jamie could see that Emma had an idea. He wondered if it was the same one he had.
"What?" Jamie asked.
Laura nodded her head in the direction of the table. Emma wandered over and picked up what looked like a pregnancy test. She stared at it before he features lit up.
"You're pregnant?" she said weakly.
"Yep," Laura said with a grin.
Jamie and Emma simply looked amazed and then they cheered and gave Laura the biggest hug. They were all so very happy.
One Month Later
Laura was sitting on the doctor's examination table with a gown on. Next to her stood Jamie and Emma who both looked quite excited. They were about to do a check to make sure the baby was doing okay. The doctor started the scan. She then got a really weird look in her eye. Laura wondered if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Um, have we talked about the possibility of multiple births?" the doctor asked.
"Multiple births?" Laura said weakly.
"I'm getting two separate heartbeats here," the doctor said with a grin.
Laura couldn't believe it. Two babies? They were worried that she wasn't going to have one! Jamie and Emma looked a little shocked themselves.
"Twins Jamie," Emma said. "Twins."
"And you thought I wouldn't even have one," Laura said in shock.
"Well doctors are wrong all the time," the doctor said grinning.
"Can you tell the genders yet?" Jamie asked.
"Not yet," the doctor responded. "Maybe next time."
Laura looked at the monitor. Two babies, this was simply amazing.
