35 The Choice

POV Elsa

My worst nightmare. I am looking at the clock, waiting for the minutes to pass. ‘Please, please’ I plead in my thoughts. Seconds felt like hours and minutes like days. Finally.

My hands shiver when I took it from the table. Two pink perfect lines. No, this can’t be happening. I had a lump in my throat and tears tried to escape from my eyes. I look at the bathroom’s makeup table. There they are, in perfect line and mocking at me. For five days I have tested, hoping it to be false. It isn’t.

“Conceal, don’t feel.. conceal, don’t feel,” I repeated my old mantra aloud while I sat on the toilet seat. Hugging myself while swaying my body.

KNOCK.

KNOCK.

”Hey, everything alright?” I heard Jack’s voice from behind the door. Gladly I had locked it up since he gently tried to open the door by handle. “Everything is just perfect!” I responded to him, my voice sounded almost too high. This is what you get from pretending.

After a moment of silence I heard him speaking again. “Open the door, Elsa,” he said with demanding tone. “J-just a moment,” I gasped and I quickly stood up. I took out a small pouch where I hide the evidence. I stuffed the pouch behind of the toilet seat.

BANG BANG.

Jack was hitting the door with his fist, “Open up! You’re making me worried!” Jack sounded scared and when he was about to hit the door the third time I opened it up. He seemed confused while he held his arm in the air, halfway to hit the door once again. He looked confused but quickly he embraced me, rubbed my back.

“J-Jack?” I whispered and he tightened his grip. ”I was afraid that you’re freaking out again.. that is what you said when you were afraid,” he whispered to my ear. “You remember that?” I gasped and he smiled and nodded. ”Somehow I do, I believe that my memory is returning. Perhaps I will have the spirit memories back fully before I.. I.. never mind,” he sighed. ”It would be interesting to know if I will love you twice as much with twice of memories,” he grinned and I chuckled. Then I remembered the pouch that I hid from him. My smile faded away.

“You should go and meet the citizens Jack. I don’t feel well today,” I whispered to him while I moved some of his hair from his forehead. “Alright, I will try my best,” Jack smiled and kissed me. I really felt sick, like my insides were twisting.

Jack left the room, ” See you in the afternoon.” He waved his hand. He really doesn’t enjoy that much for the paper work but he enjoys being with people. I look at the clock once again, “Time to go.” I whisper and I quickly change my outfit.

I sneak out from the castle and go to the car where driver is already waiting for me. He took me to another village. “Your majesty, where to?” the driver asked from me when we arrived to the town. “Take me to ‘Women’s choice’, please,” I said quickly. The driver gulped, “But your majesty isn’t that --.”  I sighed, “Just take me there.”

I look out from the cars window and I feel a big lump in my throat. When I find out I wanted an appointment with doctor, to end it all. My eyes water and I see how the fall has already started to come. It remains me how in the fall the air goes cooler, things start to frost and soon there is winter. It reminds me of him.

Now I realize that I am holding my stomach. “We are there, your highness,” the driver says and goes outside from the car. He opens the door to me. I inhale deeply when I read the sign ‘Women’s choice’. I step inside the clinic and a nurse comes to me. “What is your name miss?”

“M-my name is Elisabeth Winter,” I lied to her and she checked the list. “Oh, sorry to tell you but the doctor will be late. It will take him couple of hours before it is your turn,” she smiled to me sadly. I nodded, “Sure.. I will wait.”

I lean my back against the waiting room’s chair. Why things have to go like this always? I closed my eyes now, trying to gather my courage. I cannot freak out now, otherwise I might freeze the place and Jack is not here.. Jack.. A tear escapes from the corner of my eye.

POV Jack

Gladly today there weren’t so many town’s people to get my approval. Approval from a king. Weird, I really don’t consider myself as the king type but that came with the deal. Although I would have been perfectly happy with just her.

“Hey! Just got back!” I yelled at the door. No response. Odd. She told me that she wasn’t feeling well. I rubbed my neck while I walked to the bathroom. I washed my face with cold water and I took the towel to dry afterwards. It dropped to ground and I bended to lift it up.

My eyes caught a glimpse of something behind of the toilet seat. I reached onto it and I took it out. It was a small pouch. I untied the strings that were holding it closed. My heart just skipped few beats when I stared at the contents. My legs didn’t carry me anymore and I fell to sit on the toilet seat. My hands quivered wildly when I took out the first one.

I stared at it. ‘T-two pink lines,” I gasped and then I stood up. I poured the whole content of the pouch to the table in the bathroom. I spread them out with my hand. “All of them,” I whispered while I watched them. Quickly I went to bedroom and took out a mobile phone. I dialed Emma’s number.

“Hi Jack!” Emma said cheerfully. ”Please tell me, ” I said and I tried to swallow the piece that I felt on my throat. “Pregnancy tests, how do you know the result,”  I whispered. “Uh..Well..” Emma sounded a bit confused but continued, “Negative is no lines, failed test comes if the control line doesn’t show up and positive is two pink lines.” My heart was now fluttering, two pink lines. I stare at the pregnancy test which I am holding.

Moment of silence ended. “Please tell me that you’re expecting,” Emma sounded desperate and anxious. “Umm.. No.. false alarm,” I lied to her and ended the phone call. I let myself to fell on the bed to sit. I stare at the positive test and I know that there are more of these. “So this you tried to hide from me,” I whisper and I clench the test in my hand.

Quickly I stood up and went to Elsa’s trusted maid. “Hello Maria,” I smiled to her my most charming smile. She stopped dusting the vases on the corridor. “Yes your majesty?” She curtsied me.

”Where is my wife? Queen Elsa?” I smiled to her again and she started to move restessly. ”Well, go on. Tell to your king,” I must use my position now. How annoying. “S-she went to a doctor’s appointment. The driver might know where, he just returned.” Last words the maid had to yell to me since I was already running downstairs and outside.

I saw the black car. The driver was polishing it. “Hey, you took Elsa to somewhere?” I went to him and he startled. “Y-yes your majesty, I took Queen Elsa to her destination.” I nodded to him, ”Take me to that place. Right now.”

The driver did as I told him even though he didn’t seem happy about it. We drove to another town and then he stopped the car. “Women’s choice?” I read aloud the sign. ”Yes your majesty, I am sorry,” I saw how the driver quickly looked at the other direction.

My head started to summarize things. The positive pregnancy test, her being secretive. The doctor’s appointment in another town and the place being called ‘Woman’s choice’. Even the driver feels sorry for me. My head felt dizzy when I opened the door and stepped outside. I looked at the ground with my mouth slightly open, my heart was aching. She was there all alone.

Then I saw Elsa. She just stepped outside from the clinic. “Elsa!” I yelled to her and she turned around, her French braid flew in the air because she turned around fast. “J-Jack?” she gasped. I walked to her faster than ever before. My hand brushed her cheek, ”Please tell me t-that you d-didn’t.. w-we didn’t even speak it t-together.” My voice broke down totally.

My head jerked down, I tried to hold my tears. “Jack, I am happy that you are here,” her voice was warm and she took my hand to hers. I looked at her, I felt confused. She moved my hand to her stomach. “I was going to do it Jack, abortion..b-but I couldn’t.. I realized that the life that grows inside of me is part of us. It will be beautiful and I will have part of you after you’re gone, right?” She smiled and tears fell on her cheeks.

“Say something J-Jack.. You wish for it also?” She wiped tears away and her lower lip shivered. My hand shook a bit and then I placed it better over her stomach.  A sly smirk formed on my face, she sighed from relief from the sounds of it. I kneeled down, holding my hand still on her tummy and then I hugged her. My head was against her stomach. I chuckled, we well have a baby. At least she will.

She laughed nervously, “Jack. People are staring. W-why wouldn’t we go to family planning clinic together tomorrow?” She smiled and messed up my hair. I stood up and embraced her, she kissed me by cupping my head between her hands. “I love you Jack,” she whispered before we entered the car. My hand touched hers and she clasped our fingers together. I leaned towards her and then I whispered to her, “I love you too, the love of my life and future mother of my child.” She turned bright red and I smirked to her which made her giggle for few moments.

The ordeal must have been exhausting to her since she fell asleep against my shoulder after 30 minutes drive. I let her sleep the whole way and I winked my eye to car driver. He was peeking from the rear mirror. He glanced at Elsa and then at me, I knew what he wanted to know. I showed him thumbs up and he smiled widely. “A secret,” I whispered and Elsa slightly moved. The driver nodded.
