AUTHORS NOTE: Claire is 19, Shane is 20.
This was not happening. It just couldn't be. But sure enough, it was true. Claire stared at the pregnancy test she held in her hand, her hands shaking. Eve was standing next to her, leaning against the sink in the bathroom.
Claire started having her suspicions of pregnancy earlier this week, when she'd abruptly woken early in the morning feeling sick. Of course, Shane had been by her side the whole week while she stayed in bed. Always taking care of her.
How was she going to tell him? It had been hard enough telling Eve that she thought she was pregnant. She wasn't ready for this. She knew it would be a hard pregnancy, if she decided to go through with it.
Eve was obviously excited about the thought of being an auntie. "So, when are you going to tell Shane? Your parents? Amelie? Ooh, this is so exciting!" She was practically bouncing.
"Hmm.. I don't know. When the time is right." Claire was starting to get more excited. She was still worried though.
They both headed downstairs. Claire mimed zipping her lips, she didn't want anyone else to know at this point.
The smell of chilli was wafting through the air. Her mouth watered, she loved Shane's chilli. She headed to the table, where a bowl of chilli and a coke were waiting for her. Michael and Shane were already sitting at the table.
It was the first time in a while that they'd all sat down at the table for a meal. And it was surprisingly fun, being together with everyone again, all her worries slipped out of her mind for that moment.
When they'd all finished dinner, Michael and Eve offered to do the dishes. It was about time, they'd been stacking up. Claire found this as the perfect moment to tell Shane.
He'd already gone to the couch, and so Claire followed. She went in and snuggle up against him, he put his arm around her. They were just watching mindless sitcoms, but she loved spending time with him. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. It seemed like the perfect moment, and yet she couldn't form the words in her mouth.
"Hey, Shane, I've got something I really need to tell you.."
"Yeah? This sounds serious." He replied.
"I…"
And suddenly there was a big crash. Shane and Claire both exchanged looks and ran to the kitchen where the sound was coming from.
Once they got there they saw it was just a few plates on the ground, Eve in tears and Michael mad. They'd definitely been in an argument. Eve suddenly stalked out of the room and pushed past Claire and Shane standing in the doorway avoiding eye contact.
Claire looked at Shane and Michael and went after her. She'd gone to her room and the door was close. She hesitantly knocked. After a few seconds Eve asked "who is it?"
"It's just me, Claire." She replied.
"'Kay, come in."
Claire slowly opened the door and saw Eve lying on her bed with a pillow over her face. "Ever since I was fourteen I've had a crush on that boy. Never imagined he would become a vampire. It's just, he's changing. Every day, I can see it." She told Claire.
"Yeah, me too." She put her arms around Eve. "But there's nothing we can do to change it. And he regrets it everyday, but there was nothing else he could've done."
"Yeah, I get that. Why am I getting so dramatic? You're the one with all the drama! Have you told Shane yet?"
"Uh, well. I was going to but then we heard a crash. We came to the kitchen" She told Eve.
"Oh. Huh. Well, you'll have to tell him soon… I mean, it's not as if you can just wait until you're about to have the baby, springing it on him then.."
That thought hadn't occurred to her.
"Yeah, well, I'm going to go to bed. I'm really tired."
"'Night, CB."
She walked down the hall and into her room. After quickly changing into her pjs she jumped into bed. She heard a soft knock at the door. "Come in!"
Shane walked in and came and sat on her bed. She sat up.
"There was something you wanted to tell me.. And I think I know what it is."
She got his hand and put it against her stomach. "I'm pregnant."
"That's what I thought. The morning sickness, tiredness, it all adds up. I'm sorry, but I just have to have a breather. Think things over. We're not ready for this"
He walked out of the room. Claire was okay with that, she knew it wouldn't have been a good thing. She was worried herself.
She drifted into a peaceful sleep, and sometime during the night, she felt soft arms wrap around her. With that, she knew everything would be alright.
Kay, so this is my first fan fiction. Please give me reviews! I'll write another chapter if this goes well. :D
