POV Jack

Finally the royal midwife came out of our bedroom holding our baby boy. She walked past me to Anna and gave her my baby to hold. I couldn’t take my eyes out of him, he was perfect and I just smiled and stand there on my thoughts leaning on my staff. Midwife couldn’t see me, of course. She is the superior midwife who travels in multiple kingdoms if the royal folk are going to have a baby.

“ Princess Anna. Could you follow me back to bedroom” the midwife politely asked from Anna who still was holding my and Elsa’s baby in her hands and singing him a lullaby.

Anna was in so much joy. “ Yes of course royal midwife” she answered her in a royal way and they went to delivery room our bedroom. Anna winked me while passing me. I was woken up from my daydream when I heard the door slam.

“Oh” I said and Kristoff hit me with an elbow to my stomach. “Hurry now daddy, she must be anxious to see you!” Kristoff told me with a smile across his face.

“ Uhh.. Yeah, my family waits for me! But how do I get in? I don’t want to scare the midwife by opening the heavy doors because she doesn’t see me?” I was thinking aloud and Kristoff told me that he saw a window open in the room when Anna went inside. I could use that and fly in.

Still laughing from joy I thanked Kristoff and flew outside the palace and right inside from our bedroom window.

I saw my dear Elsa lying on the bed looking so peaceful and beautiful. It must have been a great effort for her and I decide not to wake her up. Then I notice Anna and midwife across the room near the baby’s cradle. Anna is crying and I feel a lump in my chest and I squeeze my staff harder than ever, I look at Elsa and hope she doesn’t wake up on this.  I hope the baby is ok and  if not it would take ages for Elsa to recover.

I walk closer to them and hear the midwife speaking to Anna. Anna looks hurt and even more hurt when she looks at me.

Then I hear it. “It is highly unusual that the king…I mean that the husband isn’t here on this big day and it is weird that he didn’t took the title of a king anyway” midwife looked sad when speaking but she did it with grace in her voice.

Anna had tears on her cheek and the midwife continued. “ Please send a word to the father, I need to speak with him at once.”

I must have looked rather worried at that moment. I looked at Anna and she was looking at me with sad eyes. I tried to smile at her to her to have confidence.

Then Anna looked to midwife. “ Right now the father of this child is away but will be back soon. I will tell him personally”. Midwife looked annoyed this time. “ He needs to know at once about his wife.”

My wife? I did a sharp turn to look at Elsa laying on the bed with peaceful look. Maybe too peaceful? No, no.. “NO” I screamed in much more pain than ever before it felt worse than drowning. I fell on the floor in my knees and my staff fell on the floor far away from me.

POV Anna

Oh no, Jack knows now. He looks so broken while he is on the floor kneeing, his hands facing the ground and his tears froze before they hit the ground. Midwife only noticed the staff falling, she can’t see Jack because she doesn’t believe in him.

 I hoped that I could have been the one to tell him about my dear sister Elsa. He needs to hold himself together because the baby needs him.

I took a determined look on my face. “ I’m sorry midwife but you need to leave”

Midwife looked at me “Well if you truly want to tell the father yourself that is fine. I prepared a bottle of milk that you need to feed him at once. He is hungry”

I saw Jack stopped crying and watched us while midwife let me hold the baby again and feed him. Then she left. Jack was still looking at us and then he stood up. He looked at the baby I was holding. “ Do you want to feed him?” I asked from Jack wishing that I could read minds.

He looked horrified. “ No, no I couldn’t. Please you do it” he looked at the baby with smile and continued “ it may be possible that he can’t see me because of who I am. He might fell through me.” He just stared at the baby while I fed him.

I burbed  him after the feeding and Jack started to laugh. “ Look Elsa, he burbed his first time” Elsa didn’t answer to Jack of course. Then Jack realized this again and sadness fell upon him. I put the baby in baby’s bed.

 “Jack. Your baby is fine now. I will leave you for a while with your family. You need some time alone I figured”. Jack just nodded to me still looking at Elsa, his wife.

After I left the room I had to convince midwife that she would leave. We would manage this situation and I would be in a room next to baby thinking things through. The midwife left the palace even though it was night.

POV Jack

I’m all alone now.  I walked to the window and saw midwife leaving the castle. The sky was bright and stars shining. “I wish you were here with me Elsa”.

I hear the church bells. At first they have a happy tone because we had a baby boy and then there was a break. I heard a sad tone and the lump on my chest felt even worse. I buried my head in my hands.

“Why, why did you take her from me Manny!” I screamed to moon and walked to our bed. Again I fell on the ground. I hold my dear Elsa’s hand in mine and then I cried.
