Complicated

Chapter 32

~3 months later~
~One day before New York~

Elsa's POV:

Well... everything is packed for our trip. We will be there for six months. Lila at least likes Ariel. Which is good. I've gotten to know Ariel and she's a nice person and good with kids. Lila doesn't want to go though. Believe me I don't either especially since Jack won't be with us. Lila's not happy about that either.

Jack and I are laying on the couch, cuddling. My head is resting on his chest. We are watching Toy Story. A Lila pick. She's playing with her toys in front of the television. She is a bit upset with me because we have to go and she wants Jack to come too. I'm letting her choose what to do today since it's our last day here.

I sighed and kissed Jack's cheek.

"I love you," I mumbled.

"Els," he said. I pushed myself off his chest to look at him better.

"We will see each other again. You act like we won't see each other ever again," he chuckled.

"Well, sorry. I'm not going to be here for six months and I won't be able to see you for that long," I said a little bit offended.

"Elsa, I know it will be a long time without us seeing each other but we will see each other again. And I guarantee that when you get home there will be a surprise waiting for you and Lila," he said.

"Frostbutt I don't need a surprise when we come home. I just need you. I wish you could come with us," I sighed out.

"Hey, I will come visit you guys in New York. I love the both of you so much," he said and kissed my lips.

"Hmm... I want you there with us though," I frowned.

"Babe, you know I can't. I will get days off to come visit you two though. I'm not sure if there is anything else I can do," he said. I sighed again.

"I don't understand my father sometimes. He's letting Ariel come with us. She's going to watch Lila and help me if I need help. I don't know why you can't have that job because you will actually be with us. I don't know," I said.

"I think it's to keep you from being distracted. You are going to be in charge of the company in a year. Maybe he wants you to have more experience?" He questioned.

"I don't know," I sighed and laid back down on his chest.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, Lila?" 

"I'm sorry,"

"For what sweetheart?" I said as I got off of Jack's chest and picked up my daughter.

"For not wanting to go," she said and diverted her eyes from mine to the floor.

"Oh, no. Sweetie it's okay for not wanting to go. I don't want to go either. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. But you know what I think?" I said making her look up at me.

"What?"

"I think we are going to have fun in New York. There are many things to see and we could walk around. Uncle Jack will visit us too," I said and she smiled when she heard "Uncle Jack."

"Really?"

"Yep," I said and bopped her nose, "Let's try and look at the bright side okay?" She nodded. I looked back at jack and saw him smiling.

"How about we go out and get some ice cream?" Jack asked.

"YESS!" Lila exclaimed. That caused me to giggle and kiss her cheek.
