Chapter One:

Sitting on the cold bathroom floor, holding a home pregnancy test is not my ideal way of Celebrating leaving Morganville. I have been sick almost every morning this last week and being the science geek I am, I put two and two together and hoped to God the answer wasn't four.

"Only one way to find out" I muttered to myself. Taking the stick from the box was quite difficult since my hands were trembling and it made me thankful I didn't get the other test in the supermarket that was packaged to point where it was simply impenetrable.

Finally the test stick was out of the box. Now the scary part I thought to myself, making my way over to the toilet to….do my business.

After a good minute on the toilet it became clear that I couldn't pee, either I had stage fright or I needed something more to drink.

Shoving the box and test stick under the bathroom matt, I quickly ran downstairs to grab a couple of juice box's from the fridge. I made a beeline straight for the kitchen.

"Hey Babe, what are you doing?" I barely heard Shane say from the couch. I didn't respond, couldn't respond. I was on a mission.

Swinging the kitchen door opened I wasn't surprised to see Eve sitting on the bench in just a black lace bra and a black pleated skirt as Michael groped her. Ignoring them I opened the fridge, grabbed 3 juice box's and was out of there before they even noticed I was there.

Just as I was walking past Shane, I heard him say in a hurt voice. "Why aren't you talking to me…did I do something wrong?" He had the puppy dog eyes on.

"NOT NOW SHANE!" I snapped at him.

The look on his face made me feel like I kicked a puppy. I would of gone over to him and hugged him, saying I was sorry or whatever, but right now I had serious business to attend to, so I kept walking.

By the time I was back in the bathroom, I had downed all three juices and was ready to roll.

I didn't read the result, I couldn't. Instead I stuck it under pillow and decided I would read it after dinner.

There was a gentle knock at my door. "Come in" I said in a cheery voice.

Eve poked her head in and frowned at my tone, but then shrugged. "CB it's your turn to cook dinner and I'm starving, so… yeah" I nodded.

"Okay" I smiled, "I'll be down in a second."

Eve frowned again. "Is everything okay CB?" she made her way into my room and sat on the bed next to me. "You can tell me anything…. you know that?"

"I'm fine." I lied "Just sad about leaving you and Michael, you're my family and I know Shane is coming to Boston as well, but it won't be the same. We won't be living together or anything. I'll be alone."

"Aweee I'm going to miss you too," she said hugging me tightly.

I felt her stiffen "CB what is that?" she asked hesitantly.

Once she let me go I asked "What are you talking about, what's what?" I turned to see what she was looking at.

Looking behind me I saw the end of the test stick sticking out from under the pillow. Crap I thought to myself, I guess I won't wait till after dinner.

"Is it a…pregnancy test?" she asked shocked. "Are you…pregnant?" Her eyes were popping out of her head.

"I don't know, I haven't checked it" I replied, wringing my hands nervously. "Can you check it for me. I…I can't," I pleaded.

She pursed her lips that were painted in black lipstick "Okay, maybe you should lay down while I read it…you know, just in case." I nodded and did as she said.

Reaching under the pillow I heard her mutter, "Maybe I should lay down."

I closed my eyes "if it's positive you won't tell Shane until I'm ready will you?" I asked.

"Of course not" she replied.

Opening my eyes again I asked hesitantly "What dose it say?"

She gasped "Umm… crap, your pregnant."

Everything went blurry. "Claire…Claire. You okay" I heard her say before everything went black.

OoOoOo

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE FAINTED?" I could distantly hear Shane yell.

"I mean what I said" Eve replied.

Opening my eyes, I could see them both at my door. They were so engrossed in their argument that they didn't realize I was awake.

Shane was losing it "IF I FIND OUT THIS IS YOUR FAULT EVE I'LL…."

"Shane" I said as loud as I could, efficiently cutting off his rant.

"Claire?" he was by my side within a split of a second, holding my hand in his and placing soft kiss's on my head. "Are you alright? Do you need something? Maybe water," he asked, sounding a bit panicky.

"I'm fine Shane. Just worn out, I haven't eaten much lately. I've just been too busy." I tried to convince him, with a small smile on my face.

"That's it!" he frowned. "I'm making you a feast then" and with that he kissed me softly before stomping down stairs with a determined look, ready to 'make a feast.'

"His going to make Chili isn't he?" I sat up, looking at Eve.

"Yep" she replied, popping the P.

Unable to hold it in we both just burst out laughing, Eve grabbed my dressing table for support, while I fell back on the bed, holding my stomach.

Once the giggles were over, I instantly felt bad. Shane was in the kitchen cooking, trying to help me out, while we were up here laughing about what his making.

"That was mean," I said biting my lip.

"Yeah it was a bit" Eve replied, whiling she sat next to me. "But funny" she added with a smile on her face.

We were silent for a second "So when will you tell Shane about…you know" she pointed at me then gestured to herself shaping a huge stomach.

Raising my eyebrows at that I replied "I don't know…probably after dinner." Then casually shrugged.

"Do you think Amelie will still let you leave?" Eve asked the question I dreaded the most.

"Probably not" I responded sadly.

Eve grabbed my hands "Then don't tell her."

"It's not that easy Eve. We don't leave till Sunday and it's only Wednesday. There is no doubt in my mind some Vamp will notice the extra heartbeat by then. I'm surprised Michael hasn't" Then again that's probably because I'm never really in the same room with him for long and when I am, his too busy feeling up Eve to notice.

"I'll try to keep him distracted tonight, while you tell Shane," she said, before standing up and making her way out my door. "Get some rest Mamma Bear opps... I mean Clear Bear" and closed the door behind her.

It was then that I realized how tired I really was. I was supposed to read one of Myrnin's old Neurology books, but I simply couldn't. Instead I did what Eve suggested and had a nap.

OoOoOoOo

ShanePOV

"Is she still asleep?" I asked Eve, as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yep" she replied, popping the P. While opening the fridge door to grab her beef sandwich that she originally made for work today, but forgot about it.

I was so furious at Myrnin "It's his fault…you know that right?" I told Eve, as I viciously chopped up pumpkin and potatoes.

Leaning up against the bench she took a deep breath. "Getting angry is stupid, why don't you go talk to him after you've finished cooking dinner. You know he… care's about her, If he knew she was getting sick he would stop." Eve suggested.

"I have a feeling if I go over there it won't be for a…talk" I muttered.

"That's true" she replied.

"There is something strange going on with her, she's been acting weird all day. I think she's going to brake up with me" It makes sense. I mean why would she want to be with me. It's not like I'm super smart or anything and lets be honest, I do come with a shit load of emotional baggage.

"Don't be such a Drama Queen. She's not going to breakup with you" She rolled her eyes at me. "What are you cooking anyway, I thought you were making Chili?"

"I told Claire I'd make her a feast and that's what I'm going to do," I told her confidently. "And I'll take some to her room"

She looked impressed and looked at the food. "So…what is it."?

"Roasted herbed Chicken with roasted Pumpkin and Potato's…. As well as a salad" I said feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Wow! Why is it you've never cooked this before?" She sounded angry.

"I only know how to cook it because I used to watch my mum make it every Sunday when I was little. It makes me think about her, that's why I don't cook it." I confessed.

"Oh…Sorry" she replied.

I shoved the veggies in the oven and turned to her. "Time to go shove a stake in Myrnin's heart" I said as I made my way to the living room to open a portal.

"Shane" I heard Claire's small voice from the stairs. "We need to talk…there is something I have to tell you" She said hesitantly.

My heart sunk.

ClairePOV

Thinking about telling Shane I was pregnant is nowhere near as scary as telling him in really life.

Sitting on my bed, Shane was the first to speak "I know what your about to say and it's ok, you don't need to be worried about me I'll be fine…if it's easier for me to move out, I can." It looked like his heart was braking.

He doesn't want to be anywhere near the baby, I couldn't help it, I began balling my eyes out.

"Why can't you stay with us?" I sobbed.

His eyes began to water "It would hurt to much to see you move on with someone else" His not making any sense.

I sniffed "You…you don't want anything to do with our baby" I don't understand, he only said the other day that he couldn't wait for us to have a family of our own.

It's a little bit earlier then we thought and I'm not over the moon about it, I mean I want to go to MIT, now that I really think about it, this totally sucks for me, but I thought he would feel different.

A confused look crossed his face "You're braking up with me?" he questioned.

I laughed like I've never laughed before. He thought I was breaking up with him.

He stood up. "YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY" he yelled, with a couple of tears rolling down his cheeks. He was about to storm out the room before I grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"I wasn't breaking up with you" I smiled up at him.

"You're not breaking up with me?" He asked surprised.

I wrapped my arms around his neck "No, but I am Pregnant" I said, giving him a soft kiss, which he was too shocked to return.

OoOoOoOoOoOo
