Elsa
"Jack!" I shout, taking a bite out of my cupcake. He comes running down the stairs and into the kitchen. Because of his socks and the wooden floor, he ends up skidding in and crashing into the counter.
"Here! I'm ready!" He says and I stand up wiping my mouth. He helps put on my small coat and puts his hoodie on as I head towards the garage. "How late are we?" He asks and I check my watch.
"10 minutes" I say.
"Plus 20 for the drive" he says as we get in the car.
"Half hour late" I say and he starts the car.

"You're late!" Anna shouts.
"Sorry, Elsa went into labor" Jack says.
"He's kidding" I say and give her a hug and walk in to the condo. She leads me to the couch where I take a seat to rest while Jack talks to Kristoff.
"You look like you're ready to blow" she says and sits next to me.
"Feels like it too" I say. The doorbell rings and Kristoff answers the door and in come my parents. "Mom, dad" Anna says and we both stand.
"What are you guys-"
"Anna invited us for dinner" my mom says.
"Oh" I say and Jack walks over to me. It's quiet and no one seems in the mood break the awkward atmosphere. All except Anna.
"I'll go and check on the food" she says. "Uh, Kristoff?"
"Yeah" he says and they both go into the kitchen. Jack and I have seat on the couch while my parents pull out a chair at the dinning table.
"I didn't know they were coming" I whisper to him. "We wouldn't have come" my parents were mad when they found out about the baby. I was 2 months pregnant when I told them, and they didn't approve.
"You can't avoid them forever" Jack says and takes my hand. We stand up and he leads me over to the table where we take a seat. Jack across my mother and me across from father. "Mr, Mrs.Dale" he says.
"Evening Jack" my mother smiles. "Elsa" she looks at me. Anna comes back into the room with the sides and Kristoff carrying the main dish.
"Okay"Anna sighs. She takes a seat next to me, at the end of the table and Kristoff at the other end next to Jack an my mother. "Dinner's served" she smiles.
"I'll cut" Kristoff says standing up with the knife in his hand. He cuts the chicken as Anna attempts to keep things from getting even more awkward.
"So Jack" she says, "how's work?"
"Uh, great. The kids are good"
"Kids?" My mom asks.
"I've been an intern for a while, at the high school Elsa and I went to. I'm helping with economics, because that's what I used to do, at the company.." He says drifting off. Probably to avoid talking about the company.
"What about you Elsa?" My dad asks. "You quit a couple months back. What do you do now?"
"I'm practicing, writing."
"Doesn't seem like a very stable" he says. "We still have an opening for you, feel free to come back."
"Feel free to shut up" I says into my cup. Only Jack seemed to hear because he holds in a laugh, then clears his throat to cover it up.
"Anna is doing a fantastic job at running it with Kristoff" he says.
"Thanks dad" she mumbles.
"So Elsa" Kristoff breaks the silence. "Heard you went to the doctors again. Any new pictures?"
"New pictures?" My mom asks.
"She likes to bring pictures, of the baby, and how it's doing. I have two others on the fridge" Anna says.
"Oh" my mom say hurt and I feel bad. It's my dad who I'm upset with. Even after he found out that I was pregnant, he still tried to convince me to marry Kristoff. Jack is the only one who knows though.
"I-I have the picture, if you want to see" I offer ashamed. Out of all the people she should be the first one to see, aside from Jack. I reach into my purse and take out the most recent picture. I hand it to her and she nearly cried looking at it. "So big" she smiles, "boy or girl?"
"We don't know" Jack says and holds my hand.
"John look" she show my father the picture and look of embarrassment takes over. Either because of me or that he tried to bribe me into marrying.
"We should finish eating, we need to leave soon" he says.
