Elsa's POV

I held Elijah's sleeping body in my arms and kissed his soft head. He crawled closer to my body pulling my shirt.
"He must be really tired." Jack's deep voice rumbled behind me.
I turned to face his smile. I leaned my body into his and laid Elijah on my chest. Both my boys began to fall into a deep sleep.
Once they were both sound asleep I settled myself into the embrace. Taking one of my hands and stroking around my lower stomach.
"Elijah, I know I'm not your real mother, but I am your mother. I may not have given birth to you but no other woman loves you as much as I do. You're the best thing that happened to your dad...and to me. I never thought id be a mother. But then I meet your dad and you and now I'm pregnant. The idea of having a baby of my own finally came to me when your dad had you and you became a part of my life too. When me and your father get married the next thing I'm doing... Is to legally adopt you as my son. I promise I will always treat you like my own baby. I love you and your dad; I know you and your dad will be great. You'll be an amazing older brother and Jack will be an amazing father. He already is with you and..." I whispered to Elijah as I began to sleep when suddenly jack kissed my neck and turned my face to plant a huge kiss on my lips.
I kiss back and smile as I see the happiness in Jacks face. "I love you so much Elsa." He whispers as he covers my body in a hug.
I can't help but giggle to his touch. "Wait right here." I smile and kiss jack as I get up off the bed.
I step out of the room and put Elijah into his crib. At first he fusses but quickly sinks back into his deep sleep. I kiss his head and run back to mine and jacks bedroom.
"Hey, babe, why'd you leave?" He asked as I crawled into bed with him.
He held me close as I nuzzled my head into his chest. "I wanted to enjoy my husband."
"Fiancé. We aren't married yet... when do you want to get married? I mean, should we wait till after the baby comes?" He rambled as I draped my hand along his chest. The way he spoke made me laugh, he is so cute when he's nervous.
"I don't know. It'd be nice to have the baby be a part of the wedding." I smiled at the idea as jack stroked the back of my head.
"Yeah. It would be. Imagine. Our little baby, dressed up in a pretty pink gown as the flower girl." He said looking out as he smiled happily at the idea.
I couldn't help but speak up. "Actually... I want a boy." I told him honestly. He looked a bit surprised by my wanting a boy.
"Really? I thought we'd want a girl. I mean don't you?" he asked as he sat up and held my head to his chest.
"I do but I really want a boy, and sure I'd love to have a girl later on in life but right now I want another little jack crawling around." I smiled as my hands played with his soft hair.
"Later? As in, having more babies in the future?" he said with a confident smirk. I couldn't help but giggle at the way he looked at me.
"Yes. I want to have at least another baby after this one." I smiled as I stroked the lower part of my stomach.
"Can't wait till then. It'll be, uh... fun." He said slyly making me blush. He leaned in to kiss me but I pushed him away and held him down on the bed.
"Not now, Jackson. After this one then we'll have another." I said as I began to grow tired and yawned.
Jack nodded as he lifted the covers over us and kissed my head. "Okay, sounds good. Goodnight"
I cuddled his chest and kissed his cheek. "Yeah, goodnight....
...Can't wait till then."
Jack chuckled as he pulled me closer to him. I turned to kiss him and he gave a passionate kiss.
We soon fell asleep in our warm embrace. I had dreams of the baby and of jack and Elijah in our future together. The night was happy and joyful as I felt the man I love hold me close. From the smile on his face he had as he slept I knew he was dreaming of the same things as me.
