It had been a month since Claire had slept with John. She hadn't slept with anyone in a long time. She was normally to busy with work for dating. She couldn't get her night with John out of her head. It kept a smile on her face when she got bored at work. This weekend was her first weekend off since she came back. Maria, Daniel and Amy were coming over. Claire was cooking out on the grill. She was getting everything ready. Her doorbell rang. She answered it. It was them.
"Hi guys come on in." She said. They went in.
"Aunt Claire." Amy said.
"Hi Ames." She picked her up. "You're getting so big."
"I missed you."
"I missed you to."
"Are you staying this time?"
"Uh-huh."
"Yay!" Claire put her down.
"Hi Daniel."
"Hi." He said. "It's been a long time."
"Yeah it has."
"Where's the grill?"
"In the backyard through the patio doors in the kitchen."
"Ok I'll get cooking."
"You don't have to do that."
"I know you and Maria wanna talk it's no problem."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Ok."
"Mommy can I go with daddy in the backyard." Amy asked.
"Yes but be careful." Maria said. Claire and Maria sat down on the couch. "How have you been?"
"You know me work, work, work."
"We haven't really talked other then about your night with that John guy." Claire smiled.
"Maria I don't know why but I can't stop thinking about him." "You should've seen him he was gorgeous."
"So you've said."
"His eyes were s-
"So beautiful you could look right down into them."
"I know listen to me." "I sound like a teenager." "I need to get a grip." "I'm never gonna see him again." "Not that I would mine having sex with him again, oh my god it was incredible."
"I'm still surprised you did it." "That isn't like you."
"I know but he seemed so depressed and he was so fucking sexy." "I just wanted to make him feel better."
"I'm sure you did."
"I hope so."
"You should've at least left him your number."
"Maria you know I don't have time for that, then he'd call me and wanna get together all the time."
"From the way you've been talking you'd like to get with him a hundred more times." "You like him."
"How can I like him when I don't even know him?" "Other then that he's a great kisser and great in bed I know nothing about him." "I don't even know his last name."
"Ok guys time to eat." Daniel said.
After dinner Claire, Maria and Daniel were sitting around the patio table. Amy was catching fireflies.
"Claire, Maria tells me I've just landed a multi-million dollar account. Daniel said.
"Yeah." "I don't know much about them." "It's some sports company." "One of there top guys has agreed to do a commercial for our new energy drink Adrenaline."
"That's great." "How do you like being back?"
"It's great Europe was fun but after a couple years I really missed home."
"Are there big cultural differences?"
"Major." Suddenly Claire like she was going to puke. "Oh god." She ran up the stairs as fast as she could. She barely made it to the bathroom before she puked.
A few minutes later Maria went up to check on her. She knocked on the bathroom door.
"Are you ok?" Maria asked.
"Yeah."
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah." She went in. Claire was gargling mouthwash.
"I hope it wasn't Daniel's cooking."
"No I've got a stomach flu or something."
"How long has this been going on?"
"About two weeks." Maria felt Claire's head.
"You have a fever."
"Yeah I've been getting headaches to."
"Are you more tired then usual?"
"Maria I'm tired all the time." "You know I work late hours."
"Claire when you had sex with John, did you use a condom?"
"No." "I guess we were to caught up in the moment."
"I don't think you're sick Claire." "I think you might be pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"How do you know?"
"I had those exact symptoms when I got pregnant with Amy."
"I am not pregnant." "I can't be pregnant not me, not me."
"Calm down." "You need to buy a pregnancy test."
"Ok." "I'll buy one tomorrow."
"Do you want me to come by after work tomorrow so you don't have to take it alone?"
"Yeah."
"Alright."
"I bet I'm not pregnant though." "I bet this is just a scare." "Right?"
"It's gonna be ok."
The next evening Claire bought the test. Maria came over. She was waiting on the results.
"Claire if you are pregnant what are you gonna do?" Maria asked.
"First I'm gonna make an appointment with my doctor to be absolutely certain." "If I am I'd like to tell John but I can't."
"Are you gonna keep it if you are?"
"I don't know." "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." A few minutes later it was time to check the test. "It's time."
"Want me to check it?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." Maria picked it up. "Claire, it's positive, you're pregnant."
"What! "Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Oh my god." She started to cry. "No." "What am I gonna do?" "I don't know how to take care of a baby." "I can barely take care of myself." "Oh no." Maria hugged her.
"Don't cry, it's ok."
John was in his hotel room arguing on his cell phone.
"It was your idea to work it out!" He yelled. "Oh yeah blame everything on me like always Elizabeth!" Whatever bye. He hung up. He went into the bathroom to wash his face. As he was drying it he looked down at his wedding ring. He walked out of the bathroom got in his bag and got out the note Claire left him. He smiled as he thought of her.
Thanks for the reviews guys.
