Numb

Ready for baby

Elsa is now almost six months pregnant. The sickness had almost stopped as she walks around the village for a while with Jack. They passed by Oaken's, "Hello Oaken, what's today's special?" The big burly man smiled, "i have new flower wreaths and vases, also new shirts and pants. Oh, and some new shoes as well, ja." Elsa smiled, "anything for a baby?" Oaken smiled, "let me check in the back." He went towards the back of his store and brought out a crib with a light blue mattress in it, a soft blanket, and a fluffy white pillow, "here is one item I have. Let me see if I have clothes and bottles okay." Elsa smiled, "take your time, we're in no rush." Oaken went to the back and found a few onesies and sleepers and three bottles, "this is all I have." Elsa looked at them and smiled bright, "perfect, thank you Oaken." He smiled, "you are welcome. See you later." Elsa and Jack went back to the castle and put the crib by their bed on Elsa's side, "there, perfect." Elsa looked at the crib, "it's missing something." She twirled her hand and created a mobile to hang above it, it had a snowflake, Jack, Elsa, and Olaf on it. As she twirled it, it softly played a lullaby and she smiled, "perfect." She and Jack laid on their bed and rested a while before Olaf came in wanting to play. Jack smiled, "sorry buddy, maybe some other time. Okay?" Olaf smiled and patted Elsa's belly softy with his twig hand, "okay. Night baby Frost." He happily skipped out of the room. Jack soon fell back to sleep.
     Soon the baby is due. Elsa is in her study when it happens, she gets up and walks, well, waddles to their room. "Jack get the maids." Jack got up from the bed and ran to the medical room in the castle. He came back with a maid and the doctor, who checked Elsa. "You are at one right now, it will be a while so just rest." Elsa nods and rolls to her side to try and fall asleep as Jack softly rubs her back, "just think baby, soon we will meet our little one. And shower them with love and attention." Elsa smiled, she now loved the thought of having a baby, even if it has uncontrollable powers, she will teach it right. And NO gloves. About twelve hours later the contractions get worse, the doctor checks her again, "only at three right now, you're doing great." Elsa groaned in pain as she felt them get stronger. Jack held her hand, squeezing it gently, "just breathe sweetheart, it will be okay." She glared at him, "easy for you to say, you're not the one trying to squeeze a human out of your ass." He looked at her wide eyed, not knowing what to think. About 24 more hours of labor pass, she couldn't take it anymore, "please tell me I'm there." She cried. The doctor checked her, "nope, you're at about five, almost six now." She groaned, "I want this thing out of me!" She cried. Jack looked at the doctor, "can't you do something?" The doctor looked at Elsa, "you wanted it natural honey, no pain killers, no epidural, nothing. Plus you are too far along in labor for pain killers now." Elsa cried and screamed, she had never felt pain like this before, it burned so bad. Jack just held her hand, "breathe baby, remember to breathe. Here, squeeze my hand when it hurts most." She felt another contraction and she groaned, squeezing his hand hard. More hours pass, a total of almost 50 hours of labor, almost two and a half days. Elsa couldn't take it anymore, she was in so much pain. The doctor checked her again, "alright, get ready to push now sweetheart." Jack helped her sit up as she propped up her legs. "Alright, I want you to push when you feel a contraction." Elsa was already in tears, "o-okay." A contraction came and she pushed hard. "Do it again." The doctor said. She felt another one and pushed again. "Alright, I see the head, keep going." Elsa pushed one after another. "One more push Elsa." Elsa arched her back as she did the final push, soon hearing her baby cry. She tiredly laughed with tears in her eyes as she saw the maid clean and wrap her baby in a soft blanket. The maid came over and handed the crying newborn to it's mother, letting the baby's and Elsa's skin touch. "It's a girl your majesty." The baby calmed down as she felt her mother's skin and heard her heart beat. Jack and Elsa kissed as they looked at their baby, Elsa smiled, "Hope." Jack caressed baby Hope's little blonde haired head, "our little Hope."
