Complicated

Chapter 23

~Elsa is nine months pregnant~

Elsa's POV:

I am so done with having this baby in my stomach. I am just anxious to see her and she's moving so much I can barely sleep at night. I love her already so much but my goodness.

Anyway, Jack and I are at home getting ready for work. He's been so helpful and caring. I love him so much.

I was sitting on the couch reading one of my favorite books, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." It's a good book I definitely recommend it. My puppy, Milo, is sitting in my lap the way he can.

We ended up naming him Milo. It suits him. He's already protective over me. It's a little strange but it's cute.

"Elsa, Snowflake, are you ready to go to work?" Jack asked.

"Hmm... yea. Just let me... do one thing..." I said trying to find my book mark. I know I've read this book many times but still I like keeping my place in the book.

Finally I found the book mark and stuck it in my book.

I put Milo on the ground and got up. I walked to Jack and smiled at him. He always had this smile on his face. I kissed his cheek and said, "let's go."

He chuckled and took my hand in his then we were off to work.

My father still hasn't said anything to me since he found out. It hurts that he doesn't care or that he doesn't want anything to do with this child. I just... ugh... it's a pain. You look for support usually in your family. I guess he just isn't happy with what I've done. Even though it wasn't my fault.

Anyway, we arrived at our work building. I'm supposed to go on maternity leave soon.

Many people greet us as we walk by. Jack and I are holding hands. We walk all the way to my office.

"Is there anything I can get you right now, Els?" He asked me. I smiled at him.

"No, I'm alright for now," I said.

"Just a few more days babe," he kissed my forehead.

"I know and I can't wait until she is born. I am anxious to see her and I just want her out of me," I said pouting a little.

"Just count down until her due date Els. She will be out very soon and you get to be a mother," he said smiling at me. I kissed his lips because he is just the sweetest man.

We broke the kiss due to someone clearing their throat. We pull apart to see...

My father standing in the doorway with papers.

"Hello, Mr. Arens," Jack says nervously.

"Hello Jack, May I please talk to Elsa alone?" He asked.  I got a little nervous. Why? I don't know.

Jack looked back at me as if asking if that was okay. I just nodded at him and gave a nervous smile.

"Of course sir," Jack said then left.

"Okay. So, you will have at least three months of maternity leave. You have papers to sign and highlight today," he said and sat the papers on my desk. I only nodded.

"And Jack will be taking your place within those three months, which means he will have to do both your work and his own," he said.

"But that's not fair to Jack. You should at least assign him some help from another person," I said.

"Okay then you can help him," he said.

"Dad, I wouldn't be able to help him because of the baby," I said.

"Well then figure it out," he said then left the room.

I sighed. Does he really have to be like this? I know what happened between me and Brandon was bad, but seriously?

Whatever I can't worry about this right now. I need to get whatever work I can right now done so I can go home with Jack.

~a few hours later~

"Hey, Els. Are you done yet?" I looked up to see Jack. I shook my head meaning no.

"I still have at least five pages to finish," I said.

"Anything I can help you with, since you know, stress isn't good for the baby?" He asked as he brought a chair to sit next to me.

"I don't think so. I mean I think I can handle this," I said chuckling. He hummed.

We just sat there. Me doing my work and him sitting there rubbing my back. It was soothing.

I finished after 30 minutes. I put all of my papers in a pile and was about to take them to my fathers office when Jack said, "I'll take the for you, I'll be right back."  He took the papers and left to my fathers office.

I was getting up to grab my purse from my side table when I felt something trickle down my legs. I looked down and then I feel pain. I scream.

My water just broke. Oh no. The baby is coming!!
