Eli's POV
Right as I rolled off of Clare, the baby started to cry. We were both so out of breath that we couldn't even sit up. She was crying her head off still so finally I got up and put my clothes back on and went into the adjacent room and walked over to the pink and white crib. I picked the baby up and walked back into my room and sat down on the bed with my back to Clare. "is she ok?" Clare asked crawling over to me. "yeah she's just hungry" I say in response. "do you want me to make her a bottle?" "no it's fine, I will." I get up from the bed and walk down the stairs to the kitchen with my daughter in my arms and make her a bottle. As I sit down at the table, CeCe walks in "Hey E" she says sleepily. "hey Mom" I say back looking down at my daughter. "you know you only have a couple of more days with her Eli. I don't want you to get too attached." I sigh and roll my eyes and then take the bottle out of the baby's mouth "Mom, can we talk about this tomorrow?" "Elijah," I cringe when she says my full name "Clare knows doesn't she?" "yes." CeCe comes and sits next to me. "Eli I know this is hard, but you have Clare. She will be right there." "I know." CeCe smiles and takes the baby from my arms. "you know, she looks exactly like you." I smile "yeah." CeCe hands me the baby. "goodnight Eli." We both get up and walk in separate directions to our bedrooms.
As I walk back up the stairs, I hear Clare snoring quietly in her sleep. I laugh silently and enter the baby's room. I sit down in the rocking chair with her still in my arms. I look down at my wide-eyed baby and smile. I slowly start to rock her.
Flashback
"ELIJAH" Julia screams as she rakes her long black fingernails down my chest to my abs. "I-I love you" I manage to say threw ragged breathes. Julia started to go up and down faster and I scream out. "I love you too Elijah" she purrs. We were almost "there" when she suddenly stopped her pace and started to go extremely slow on me. "JULIA" I scream "uhh uhh Jules p-p-please" "Eli just enjoy" I thought I was going to die. All of that painful pleasure was just too much. She was still going PAINFULLY slow when she hit her peak and screamed out. As she was coming out of her "moment" I had mine. I screamed out again and we both go limp. "I love you Elijah" Julia says through extremely harsh breathes. "I love you too Julia" I say back through equally harsh breathing.
END OF FLASHBACK
The baby falls asleep and I put her in her crib. "goodnight Julia" I whisper and walk back to my bedroom where Clare is sleeping. I climb back into the bed and pull the covers up and start thinking about Julia. I love Clare, but I miss Julia like crazy. A piece of my heart will forever be gone, and if they take my baby away, I don't know what I'm going to do.
