Elsa's POV

I woke up in the morning, for the first time in forever not screaming and crying. I felt perfectly fine minus the massive hangover. What can I say, I'm a really heavy drinker when I want to be, I grew up in Russia after all. I wanted to smile, then I noticed I had no clothes on, and there was an arm wrapped around my waist.

WHAT DID I DO!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I wanted to turn to see who this guy was, but for a reason I didn't. Maybe because I actually felt happy and safe in his arms, and seeing his face might ruin the whole moment. I have no memory of who he was, but I do remember some bits of last night, and I remember it being amazing.

I sighed in content and closed my eyes feeling the mystery boy take a deep breath in and pull me closer.

"Morning Elsa." they said in a husky voice that made me freeze.

I slowly turned around to see Jack looking at me. I slept with Jack!

SHIT!!!!!! DID WE USE PROTECTION?!?!?!?

"Jack, how much of last night do you remember?" I asked.

"All of it." he said smiling. Why is he smiling at me?!

"Did we use protection?" I asked and seeing his eyes get wide told me the answer.

I wiggled out of his arm, and ran into my bathroom. I pulled out a pregnancy test, and took it, followed by the longest 6 minutes of my life. When the timer went off, I looked at it and didn't know how to feel. Should I be happy or sad? How was Jack going to react?

Maybe I'll try a psychological experiment.

I pushed my thoughts away and proceeded with my normal daily routine. I showered, put on some makeup, then ran to my closet. I threw on a pair of cyan blue jeans, a pale pink sweater with an ice cream cone on it, and a pair of Uggs. I left my hair down, then walked into the kitchen.

Jack or Alice wasn't in it, so I just made my breakfast. I cut up some fresh fruit and made myself a protein shake.

"Elsa..." Jack said walking into the room dressed in a pair of jeans and a white sweater, "Are you...... you know... pregnant?"

"No." I responded waiting to see his reaction.

Jack's POV

Moment Elsa ran out of the room, I had a panic attack. I slept with her, and she could be pregnant!!! OMG!!! I'd have murders for children!!

I quickly ran into my room, and got myself dressed. Then I paced back and forth panicking. Why did I sleep with her, and why the hell didn't I use protection?!?!?

I heard noises from the kitchen, so I walked out there to see Elsa emotionless as always and making breakfast.

"Elsa..." I said walking into the kitchen, "Are you...... you know... pregnant?"

"No."

I let out a sigh of relief and started to thank God, and she chuckled.

"That relieved that you aren't going to have a son or daughter with me huh?"

"Yes..... I mean no...... I mean, hah, I'm at a loss for words." I stuttered out.

"Hey, I was just teasing you." she chuckled, "I get it. No one would want kids with me." she said drinking her protein shake.

She isn't half bad, but she has a point. It isn't an attractive quality having the first thing you do when you wake up is to torture someone.

She sat down at the table, and silently ate her breakfast.

After that she went into the tortore room, and was in there for around an hour. When Alice woke up, Elsa was still in the room. So I just sat down, and made breakfast for Alice and I.

When Elsa came out she had a smirk on her face, and I know all too well what she had done in there.

"Alice, you are up!" she said, "So, before you leave for school, I have a question for you."

"What?" Alice said sounding uninterested.

"Well, Christmas is coming up in 3 months, and the Russian ballet is doing the Nutcracker. I wanted to know if you wanted to go to Russia with me to see it?" Elsa said.

"No, I don't want to go anywhere with you." Alice said, "Just leave me alone." then Alice went into her room, and Elsa sighed.

"Elsa, come on. Don't give up on her yet, she is just grieving." I said, but Elsa ignored me. She just walked onto her couch and looked out at the city.

I walked over and sat down next to her.

"So, why does someone who is so wanted sit and looks out such a large window?"

"I was underground for half of my life. One of my biggest fears is I will wake up and still be in that prison of a place. It gives me a sense of reassurance, that this is real and I am free." she responded blankly, "Besides, that is missile proof glass. Nothing is getting through that."

"Elsa, don't be upset about Alice. I know deep down you are." I said and she chuckled while shaking her head.

"You don't know the first thing about me." she said. I sighed and grabbed her chin, then made her look at me.

"I'm starting to." I said. I looked her in the eyes, and again found myself wanting to cry.

"Jack, I know we went to the store yesterday, but we are out of strawberries. Please could you go and get some?" she asked.

"Wait, you trust that I'll come back?!" I asked shocked.

"No, I expect I'll never see you again." she said.

I looked at her super confused, then put on my coat and left. I ran to the store and bought some strawberries, then stopped at a Starbucks for a really long time trying to decide what to do. It ended up with me walking to the airport and buying a ticket.

She gave me my freedom, and I'm going to take it. I understand her somewhat, but I don't think I can live knowing what she does for a living and that room, and do nothing about it. I have faith that Elsa will take care of Alice, according to Kristoff she was mother material once, she could be again.

I walked into the plane and sat down. I was sick of this mission, I was just ready to go home, and continue on with my life.
