Numb

Worry

A couple months pass. Elsa has had horrible sickness almost all day everyday for the past few weeks, Jack was by her side for all of it. Even if she didn't want him to. Elsa has started to show a little and her dress is starting to get tight, so she makes a new dress (the frozen fever one). She sighs, "that's better." She looks at herself in the mirror, she's pale, has puffy red eyes, her hair is messy, and she just looks dead. She hugs herself, "why are you doing this to me?" She asked the growing human inside of her. Jack walked in the room, "Elsa, are you okay honey?" She turned to Jack, he was worried, "why did you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?" She started to cry. Jack understood why she was upset, her sister is gone, her powers are still uncontrollable, and now she is carrying his child, also with uncontrolled powers. He hugged her and wiped her tears, "please don't cry, I don't like it when you cry. It's okay sweetheart." He kissed her lips softly and she hugged him tight, not wanting to let go, "I'm sorry." He smiled, "don't be, I understand what you're going through. Losing loved ones hurts, it kills you inside. But you have me and our baby now, and we both love you so much." She looked up at him and smiled, "thanks Jack." He smiled and kissed her head, "you want to nap for a bit? I can take care of things around here for you." She smiled, "really? You would do that?" He kissed her hand, "of course, you need your rest, and I am king after all." She smiled and went to her bed to lay down. Jack pulled the cover over her and tucked her in, "comfy?" She smiled and nodded before drifting off. Jack headed to her study to sign a few things when Kristoff stopped him, "there are some dignitaries in the ballroom who need to see you." Jack looked up and smiled, "tell them I will be there when I finish these documents, they are almost done." Kristoff smiled, "okay." Kristoff headed to the ballroom but when he got there a duke yelled at him, "where are the King and Queen, I need to see them immediately." Kristoff stayed calm, "sir, the queen is very sick, and the king is doing the best he can, he has a lot of work to do." The duke started getting even more angry, "now listen here, I don't care if the queen is sick, or the king is busy, get them NOW!" He demanded. "Sir I can't do that, the queen is with child and needs her rest. And the king is trying his best." The duke got even more mad, "I said I don't care! I need to speak to them both. Besides, that child will be as reckless and uncontrollable like it's mother, it is an abomination. Now, I said get both of them NOW!" Jack was behind the door listening, when he heard enough he walked out, "listen duke, you can't come to our kingdom and tell us how to run it, or drop everything we are doing for YOU'RE problems. My wife is with child and very sick. The baby is in good hands, and my wife is a beautiful woman who is just misunderstood. She is trying her best. And I'm busting my ass trying to do everything myself! I can't do everything at once, I'm only human, so stop complaining and deal with it!" Jack stormed off to his wife's room in tears to check on her. Kristoff and the duke looked at each other speechless, everyone else was quiet as well. Jack got to Elsa's room and lightly knocked, "sweetheart, are you okay?" He opened the door to see her still asleep, he smiled, "rest well my queen." He blew her a kiss and left the room. Meanwhile Kristoff had talked to everyone about coming some other time, when Elsa was well. Except for the duke, Jack broke the trade agreement with him and his country because of his insulting outburst.
