A Dying Wish

Chapter Nine: Engagement Ring

Love isn't complicated, they love you, or they don't. Or they want to be with you or they don't. It's simple.

Inside, some of the girls had come to greet Anna. All being in the same room, they began to gossip about the only thing that didn't include Anna's wedding. Jack and Elsa's engagement.

"It's ridiculous, she's not pregnant," Merida stated as she sat by the window, watching Anna, Rapunzel and Tiana gossip over Elsa.

"Well, it would explain why we never heard they were dating," Tiana argued back as she straightened out Anna's train.

"Rapunzel throw's up all the time and she's not pregnant," Merida remarked as she jested over to Rapunzel who was stunned as well as shocked at the comment.

"That was one time, Merida," Rapunzel exclaimed as she tried to explain for the millionth time that she was not a frequent person to throw up.

Jane walked in just in time to hear the discussion about Elsa being pregnant and the comment Merida made about Rapunzel. Jane had hold of a tray of champaign for all the girls and smiled at all of them collected their glass.

"Yeah, like that one time you throw up in the bathtub didn't count Rapunzel," Jane remarked as she took a sip of her campaign. All the girls laugh, all except Rapunzel who sent friendly daggers towards her friend.

"Look, all I'm saying is that if Jack really loved Elsa, how come we haven't heard one word about how he proposed?" Tiana questioned as she passed Anna her glass of champaign. All their heads began to nod.

Outside, Elsa was checking on the food that was set up. She wanted everything perfect for her sister. Anna deserved the perfect wedding.

Jack, seeing Elsa, made his way towards her.

"How's my favourite finance?" Jack asked in a joking manner but soon wanted to take it back when he saw Elsa's face. Elsa looked like she was on the brink of crying, "oh boy, what is it? What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all, unless you count the fact that my family thinks I'm pregnant with your baby," Elsa exclaimed sarcastically with a very stern and serious tone.

Jack tried hard not to laugh. He knew she was in no laughing mood, but the thought of Elsa carrying his child just made him want to laugh.

"What?"

"They think the only reason someone like you, would marry someone like me is if you got me pregnant," Elsa informed Jack as she shook her head, "Shit like that is what made me move 6,000 km away."

"So...did you tell them the truth?" Jack asked suspiciously.

"No, I lied. I told them that you weren't as shallow as you looked and that we decided to get married because of our deep and soulful connection," Elsa mimicked as she laughed at her self. The words were to cringe not to laugh at.

"Well, maybe this will get her off your back," Jack announced as he rummaged through his pocket to find the engagement ring North had given him. Taking it out, Elsa looked down in bewilderment.

"What is that?" Elsa asked.

"It's North's grandmother's engagement ring that he gave me, to give to you," Jack confessed as he glanced down.

Elsa was swift with her answer. It was simple and to the point. "No. No, forget it."

"What? Just try it on," Jack asked with a rigid voice.
