Eli woke up to Clare playing with his hair.
"Having fun?"
"Yes." Clare leaned into kiss him.
"So, Adam and Fiona have kids now. Wow."
"Yeah." Clare looked down.
"Clare?" Clare looked up. "Does it bother you that we're not married?"
"No, of coarse not."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Clare I love you."
"Eli it's alright . I'm not mad about the not being married. Can we just not talk about it and sleep more?"
"Alright."

Eli sat at the counter in the Dot. Waiting for Adam to arrive. The babies had to stay in the for awhile and Adam wanted to spend the last relaxing days with Eli. Adam came up and slapped his had on Eli shoulder.
"You're falling behind."
"What?"
"When we first went to Degrassi we always did the same things with our girls as the other. But now you are two steps behind."
"Well you didn't move in."
"That step was optional. So, hey when are you going to talk to her about getting married?"
"I did this morning, but she didn't want to hear it. Also, I'm still getting that feeling that it's not time."
"Dude, you're feeling that way because you are over thinking of every little thing. You need to only worry about her answer."
"Right."

Clare, Alli, and Fiona were shopping for baby clothes when Clare had to talk about some thing.
"Guys, Eli is really freaked out about marriage."
"Well doesn't everyone get that way?" Alli asked.
"Yeah, but he is always asking about it and I just want him to get down on one knee and say it."
"Then tell him that." Fiona said.
"No I want it to be a surprise and to actually feel it."
"You have to show him that you want to spend the rest of your life with him. You gotta ensure him that you're going to say yes. That's why Adam asked me."
"How?"
"You can make a big romantic dinner and have a little fun after words." Alli winked.
