*Disclaimer: I don't own degrassi but I do own a bus load of books I have yet to read. I also only own Munro in this story

A/N: this skips a bit to Munro being almost sixteen Clare had him when she was 17 just to be clear.

Unconditonal Love

Fast Forward

I woke up with a start. "Clare what happened?" Adam sat up next to me and asked drowsily.

"It's nothing sweetie go back to sleep." I tried to brush it put his hand on my back and rubbed it in a soothing cicrular motion.

"It was about Eli wasn't it?" I nod with tears on the rim of my crystal blue continued to rub my back.

"It's all okay Clare." I get up out of bed.

"I'm going to go check on Munro." He nodded and laid back down in the bed.

I walk down the dark hall to my teenage sons' was hard to believe that in a week he would be week was going to be hell for me and the two wonderful people in my life.I reached the door to Munros' room. I open it and peer into the dim lit room I smile as I see him sleeping in an odd position that reminded me of Eli. The only thing he got from her was her nose and smile everything else was Eli up and down.

Flashback

"Clare Dianne Edwards will you marry me?" Adam was on bended knee holding a ring out in front of me.

"A-Adam?" I look at him confused.

"Clare I care a lot about you and needs a father figure and I know Eli woud want you to be happy." He looks up at me and fiddles with the ring.

"Yes Adam." I smile as he slips the princess cut engagement ring on my finger. He stands up and kisses me lightly.

Yes I had married my dead loves best friend and my sons godfather but it was right when we did it so I had little regret.

"Mommy?" Munro said sleepily.

"Yes Honey?" I said walking into his room and over to his bed.

"I had a dream about dad." I sat down as he sat up and rubbed his emerald eyes.

"Oh sweetie." I hug him tightly.

"I know what this week is for you and uncle Adam." He looks up at me.

Even though me and Adam had been married since Munro was four he still called him uncle and we were all okay with and Adam made sure he knew who his dad was.I felt tears start to fall from my eyes and down my cheeks.

"Mommy it's okay I didn't mean to make you cry.I'm sorry." I smile at him and let him go out of my tight hug.

"Sweetie it's not your fault I had a nightmare of the day your dad died and then I couldn't go back to sleep so here I am." I wiped the tears away.

"Mom you do know it's not your fault that dad died right?" He looks at me with his emerald eyes and hugged me.I was silent even though I understood what Eli had done I still felt like I was to blame.

"No sweetheart it was all my fault it's too complicated for you to understand." I feel more tears fall down my pale and Adam had told him that Eli had died defending me which was true but we didn't tell him the whole story.

He sighs heavily."Mommy I know daddy wouldn't want you to blame yourself and I don't either he died so you and I could have a life. That is something unconditional Mom.

I smile lightly he was so much like Eli it scared me a little."sweetie it amazes me how much you sound like your dad.I love you so much Mun." He smiles and I kiss his cheek."

"I love you too Mommy." He was the only teenager I knew that still called his parent mommy.

"Goodnight baby boy." I say as I stand up and leave his room.

"Goodnight mommy and daddy." I hear him whisper as I exit his room I smile through tears.

I walked to the living room and sat on the couch."Curse you Eli you made him just like you without you even being is that possible?" I say out loud to the ceiling. I finally go back to sleep.
