I do not own the Morganville series, only this story line and Kellan.

Chapter 1- Parental Visit

''Claire! Claire! Seriously, get up!'' I was rudely awakened by the insistent yelling coming from… the other side of the bed? Wait what?

''Uhhh'' I grumbled, feeling someone shaking me violently

''What?'' I snapped, suddenly feeling more awake from the intrusion. ''Claire! Your parents are here!'' Exclaimed an entirely familiar voice, the voice of my hot first long-term boyfriend Shane Collins. I stared at him a little while, wondering how I got so lucky to have him, then it hit me like a ton of bricks what he just said, Crap.

''Crap, Collins why didn't you wake me earlier!'' I asked as I jumped out of bed to get changed, whilst Shane stood by my bed watching me. I raised an eyebrow and blushed deeply

''Do you mind? There's no show till 8' I giggled to myself.

''Funny Danvers. Now come here and give me some loving'' he chuckled as I stared in horror as he lunged at me and threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He opened my bedroom door and ran to the bathroom.

''Shane! No stop! My parents, Shane!'' I squealed as he put me in the tub and turned on the cold water from the shower above me.

We started spraying each other when the door burst open with Michael, Eve, my parents and Oliver. Everyone had a smirk or an amused expression on their face... everyone except my parents that is. '

'Claire! Cover yourself up!'' my mother sighed sounding very tired and I looked down to see I was wearing short pajama shorts and one of Shane's band shirts, I could of died of embarassment.

''Sorry mom, but I was kidnapped and tortured by a brute'' I joked, glaring pointedly at my grinning, wet boyfriend.

''What!? Claire, did he hurt you?'' my mother exclaimed, concern and anger all over her face, I just couldn't resist and burst out laughing and in turn got a furious look from my father

''Daddy? Are you okay?'' I asked scared that he might start something with Shane... again. It was a hard life.

''Claire, get your things you're staying with us for the weekend'' My father said glaring at Shane and not even hiding it.

''Daddy, I understand you don't like Shane but you can't keep me from living here'' I sighed, rubbing my fingers to my temples, feeling a headache coming on''

''Mr Danvers, if this because of me then you should understand-'' Shane tried to explain, but was rudely interrupted by my dad

''Save it, you mother and I wanted you to stay for a weekend because we thought it would be nice for you to catch up with a certain someone... you do remember Doreen's son, Kellan right?' my father explained excitedly. Doreen was my mother's best friend in school and her youngest of two sons, Kellan used to be my play mate when I was a child and, well, he was my first crush.
