The Expected Surprise
Chapter 1
Claire woke up with a start and was feeling very nauseous. She quickly untangled herself from her boyfriend Shane as gently as she could so she wouldn't wake him. Claire walked out of her room and once she was in the hallway, she ran to the bathroom. Flipping on the light switch and closing the door, once Claire was in the bathroom, she ran to the toilet and threw up. Once she was done she flushed and leaned her cheek against the bathroom wall, that's when Claire heard a soft knock on the door. She knew immediately who it was.
"Claire, baby, are you alright?" Shane asked opening the door some and poking his head in.
Claire nodded and Shane opened the door and walked in. He walked over and bent down in front of her.
"Did you throw up again?" he asked her
"Yeah" she answered softly
Shane reaches out and helps Claire stand up "Babe, are you sure you're alright, this is the been going on for two weeks."
"I'll be fine once I have some coke and crackers and lay down"
They walked into the hall and found Eve and Michael waiting with concerned looks on their faces.
Claire looked at them "I'm fine guys, sorry if I woke you."
"Two weeks in a row Claire, you really need to see a doctor." Her best friend Eve told her
"Eve really I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about"
"Well I'm tired of being woken up in the middle of the night hearing you toss your cookies" Eve glared at Claire.
The glare really didn't phase Claire, since was not dressed in all her goth make-up. She actually looked normal and innocent. But once the goth make-up and close come on, Eve was fiercer than any human Claire knew.
"I'm taking to the doctor in the morning. Maybe they can find out what's wrong and we can all get some sleep."
"Fine, I'll go. If it will make everyone feel better" Claire told them.
"Michael can you go get Claire a coke and some crackers? I'm going to lay her down." Shane told them.
Michael ran downstairs and Shane carried Claire back to bed and laid her down tucking the covers around her. Michael was back in record time with the coke and cracker. His vampire speed made him quick. He handed Claire the crackers and open the pop for and handed to her. She took a long drink, ate a couple of crackers and set them on the night stand. Shane crawled into bed next to her and wrapped his arm around her. Claire starts to drift off into a peaceful sleep.
Claire sat in the passenger seat of Eve's hearse. She didn't want to be here, put if it would get her friends off her back she would go. She did manage to get some sleep last night. Claire woke to find she was wrapped tight in Shane's arms. She smiled at the thought. But it soon passed when they reached the doctors office. Claire really wanted to call Shane but he was at work. Eve parked the car and Claire opened the door.
"Here you go CB, do you want me to pick you up when you're done?" Eve asked her.
"No, it's okay. I have to go to Myrnin's when I'm done. So I'll just walk." Clarie told her
"Okay, just don't be late for dinner. Tacos tonight" Eve smiled at her and Claire smiled back.
Claire got out of the car and watched Eve drive off. She turned and walked into the doctor's. When she entered she spotted the receptionist desk and approached.
