AN: Hello again people. Thank you mfor comming back to see what I've now got instore for Claire and ashane this time.

Disclaimmer: I do not own Morganville Vampires. Rachel Caine does.

I know that at the end of the lst story I said that I'd post this yesterday but I didn't find the time as it was my birthday and I'm now finally 18 meaning I can now legally drink.

Chapter 1

Claire's POV

I can't

Believe that Shane proposed to me last night. I love Shane with all my heart and know that there and I can't wait for the day when I'll become Mrs Shane Collins.

I have a feeling that when I start planning the wedding it's going to so much fun (not the sarcasm). I've never thought about my wedding day before or about any aspect of it. I had always thought that I'd ge5t married but that it would be after I was done with Uni and was into my career and possibly also in my twenties but I'm so happy with the way that my life has turned out.

Shane's still asleep at this point ad I just love looking at him cause he looks so peaceful regardless of what has happened during the day. I also love that when I'm wrapped up in his arms when I move the slightest he's aware of it and will draw me back to him.

I'm glad that I don't have any plans as of yet cause I really don't want to leave this bed with Shane in it.

"Good morning Claire."

"Mmm, it is isn't it." We then started kissing like we always do.

"Or should I say the future Mrs Collins"

"I love the sound of that." We then went back to kissing. It didn't lead to anything we were just enjoying the peacefulness of our little bubble.

I think we should have realised that reality had to make itself known at some point though.

"Claire and Shane you two better stop whatever it is cause it's 12 and I know that you two haven't had lunch and I'm dying for details about what happened last night."

"We'll be right there Eve. Ugh. I don't want to move. Why couldn't she wait till we actually decided to surface to ask for details." I whined.

"That's Eve for you. I don't want to move either but I bet that we can get a chance to sneak away after a while and I think it might be a good idea to go eat seeing as how we haven't eating anything. I'm betting you're hungry."

Cue my stomach growling. Traitor. "Why does she want to know so badly?"

"I told her that I was going to propose so that we could have the house to ourselves again."

When we got downstairs Eve was sitting in Michael's lap and i bet annoying Michael cause she was not sitting still.

"You want to tell them or me?" I asked Shane

"You can tell them" He then wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest.

"We are getting married." I told them which then led to Eve jumping off Michael's lap and started jumping like a demented bunny.

"I'm so happy for you guys." She said as she hugged me. "Claire, let me know when you want to start planning and you can come with me to the kitchen so you can help with lunch and give me the details."

We didn't feel like cooking so we just made some sandwiches and I gave Eve what she wanted to know.

"He was so sweet last night. It was just like our first date. We went to the cinema where I chose the film and he paid for everything. After the film we came back here where he'd set up a candle-lit dinner but he'd actually cooked the food and it was really good. After the dinner he gave me a cake that I had thought was because of my birthday there was 'will you marry me?' written in icing. You can probably guess what happened after I'd said yes." I laughed.

"Have you thought about when you want to get married?"

"Not really. We haven't really talked about it or even talked about it. We've just really been celebrating the engagement." I giggled. "I would like to get married after I've finished Uni and I'd love for it to be in the summer. I would say in either summer or winter around Christmas time because you can never guarantee that there will be snow. But we have a year to make a decision and plan."

When the sandwiches were made we sat in front of the TV and spent the afternoon watching films. That was until Shane and I went back upstairs to celebrate some more.

Shane's POV

I love Claire. The day that I can call her my wife will be the happiest day of my life.

I'm glad that I was able to find Claire after all that I've been through from the death of my sister and my mother and now losing my dad. I do fear that if it weren't for Claire being there for me to turn to God knows what would have happened to me.

Today is going to feel like a long day cause I've got work whilst Claire is at Uni and then afterwards we are going to break the news to Claire's parents.

"You ready Claire?"

"Yep"

"Do you reckon they'll want to kill me?"

"Probably not, I don't think that there will be any reason for you to be afraid. Also if my dad did kill you he'd end up losing me."

We knocked on the door which was answered by Claire's mum.

"Claire, Shane. Come in. It's good to see you again Shane."

"It's good to see you too Mrs Danvers"

"Mum where's Dad, we need to tell you something."

"He's in the living room."

"Hi Dad."

"Hey Baby. Shane you still taking good care Claire?"

"Yes Sir" He always says that when he sees me. Surely the fact that she is still standing in front of him and is happy is proof enough that I'm taking good care of Claire. Plus I'd be a fool not to.

"Now Claire what was it that you wanted to tell us?"

"First, Daddy don't get mad. What we wanted to tell is that Shane's asked me to marry him and that I've said yes."

"Oh sweetie I'm so happy for you." Mum then hugged us.

"Are you sure this is what you want? Obviously I'm not happy because Claire you're my little girl and no father wants to see their daughter grow up but if Shane makes you happy and this is what you want then I'm happy for you."

"Dad I'll always be your little girl but I'll be married. I'll still need you dad just not as much as I did before I met Shane"

"Can I just ask one question, are you pregnant?"

"Dad," Claire sounded really frustrated with that question "No I'm not pregnant. I'm, still in Uni and don't think I'm quite ready for Children yet. I do love Shane though and can't wait to become his wife."

When we got home after dinner I could tell that Claire was relieved to be back home.

"I'm so glad to be home"

"Me too sweetheart. You know how your dad asked if you pregnant, what would you do if you were?"

"I don't know I've never thought about. I know that I want kids but I had always thought that it would happen after I was married. I guess if I were to get pregnant whilst I was still in Uni I would just hope that we would be able to come up with a solution. Any reason in particular as to why you asked?"

"Not really. I can't wait for us to be married and then have kids, watching your stomach grow and know that it's cause of our child."

"I like the sound of that. Except for the fact that I'll become fat, that bit I'm not looking forward to so much."

That night we just cuddled together and I started to dream of what the future could look like.

So what did you think. Let me know and I will see you next Friday
