The buzzing of the alarm didn't fail to wake both Clare and I up, like usual she squirmed as I pulled her closer to me. My hand moved down her stomach and I rubbed the small bump that had grown a bit within two weeks and kissed the back of her head. It didn't take Clare too long to roll over and kiss me with closed lips, causing me to kiss back before we both got out of bed. I watched a Clare rummaged through the closet in search of something to wear while I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans and a band shirt from the dresser, then got dressed. "We need to start the nursery soon." Clare muttered before walking into the bathroom.
"When we find out what the gender." I assured as I followed her to see her putting toothpaste on both of our toothbrushes, then handed me mine. We stayed quiet as we brushed our teeth side by side and I endured the harsh peppermint taste of the new toothpaste Clare picked out, then looked at the tube.
"Is there something wrong with the toothpaste?" Clare asked curiously after she spit it in the sink, only for me to follow her lead.
"It's strong. I'll be tasting peppermint all day. Peppermint flavored coffee, peppermint flavored cereal, peppermint lunch. It's not something I was planning on." I stated honestly.
"Eli, it whitens your teeth more." she said holding up the tube and I grabbed the other tube that I picked out from the medicine cabinet. "This is the same thing. It's just not as harsh and tastes better, besides it foams in your mouth as it kills the bacteria and whitens your teeth." I argued with her and wiped my mouth off as Clare stood on her toes to kiss me, I kissed back.
"Deal with it." she smiled as she broke from the kiss.
"Looks like I have to." I whispered back and kissed her once more before we made our way downstairs and I checked the time. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked curiously as I noticed Clare rummaging in the cabinets and bringing out everything and anything she could get her hands on. I looked at some of the food she quickly filled the counter with and scrunched up my face, part of me was curious as to what breakfast food she'd come up with using left over mashed potatoes, syrup, bacon, eggs, chicken, gummy bears, waffles, sprinkles, and left over spaghetti from two nights ago. The other part of me wanted to just remain silent and not ask any questions, but I knew my curiosity wouldn't allow that. By the time I was ready to open my mouth, Clare started to put some food away mainly the spaghetti and mashed potatoes as she grabbed other things from the cabinets.
"I'm experimenting." she giggled as I shot her a curious look only for her to smile back. Within moments Clare was mixing pancake batter in a bowl and some of the stuff she took out, she put back. "Would you like some?" she asked and I took out some blueberries from the fridge and popped one in my mouth.
"Please." I smiled at her and watched her make the pancakes. She of course added gummy bears to one of hers and some mixed fruit in two others, my guess was in case the gummies didn't turn out right. I poured us each a glass of orange juice, a glass of milk for Clare, and a cup of coffee for me, then got the table set along with one of Clare's prenatal vitamins that she started to take after eating. When Clare finished the pancakes, she came walking in with two plates and of course I walked over to take them from her. "How did the gummy bear pancakes turn out as they cooked?" I asked curiously.
"It cooked good, but I have a feeling that cooked gummy bears won't be easy to eat." she pushed her lips to the side as we sat down. I used my fork to poke at her gummy bear pancakes and chuckled a little as she tried to cut through it. "We need a dog." she sighed as she pushed it to the side and poured a little syrup on her other pancakes.
"Clare, no offense, but a dog wouldn't even eat that." I chuckled a little and she hit me playfully and I leaned it to kiss her a little. "You love me." I smiled against her lips.
"One of my downfalls." she sighed sarcastically and I put my hand on her stomach as I continued to eat and she laced our fingers together. After breakfast was done, we both cleaned up, Clare did dishes as I dried and put them away. By the time we got done it was time for us to leave and I triple checked to make sure we had everything. We started to drive Morty more, simply because when our baby gets here, we'd have to travel around in Clare's car since there's a back seat and it's a lot safer for our baby.
When we got to school, I parked Morty only to kiss Clare the minute I killed the engine. We made out for a few minutes to avoid the wondering eyes of the students inside and pecked each others lips before pulling away. "And so our time apart begins." I groaned and hopped out of Morty only to grab our things out the back. Clare kissed me lightly as I handed her things to her, then we started to make our way to two different buildings. Something I liked least, but like usual, we had lunch together and she sat in on a few of my classes. The students were accustom to it and since the news of my marriage to Clare along with her pregnancy, my students have stopped asking both of us questions and she stopped getting them altogether.
Once I finally got to my class room, I realized that it was a new semester meaning new students and freshman. Fuck. I wanted to sit down and let my head fall for neglecting the small bit of information, but luckily when I went through my briefcase I noticed the syllabus I had typed out a few weeks ago sitting in one of the trapper keepers along with a note from Clare causing me to smile as I read it. She must have knew that I'd forget about it. I was officially ready when my first class of freshmen came in and took out my attendance book. Within ten minutes my classroom started to fill up with a bunch of new faces, new faces that I'd eventually have to learn and I sat on my desk like I normally did. "I'm Professor Goldsworthy, Mr. Goldsworthy, teach, professor, and just about anything else works as long as it's not my first name. Keep it professional." I stated and started to hand out the syllabus to the students allowing them to pass them back. "I don't do roll, I ask questions. Until I know your names you'll answer saying your name first. Failure to do so will result in being marked absent. If you do not wish to be here, don't waste anyone's time and feel free to leave at any point. Don't expect my class to be easy because it's not. I believe learning should be fun, but that doesn't mean it will be fun unless you allow it to be." I explained as I sat on my desk and watched everyone look over the syllabus and watched a few make notes and go through their calendars causing me to chuckle mentally. "Any questions?" I asked and some hands went up. "Girl in the purple dress."
"Ana McDermont." she said as I marked her name off in the book. "You don't look as old as all the other professors. How old are you?" she asked curiously. "24." I answered honestly and she made a note of it, I'm guessing for a study or something. Other kids raised their hands causing me to smirk, even though the questions were probably more about my life than the actual class as I pointed to another student.
"Douglas Anker." he stated and I checked him off. "Does that mean you were 22 when you graduated college?" he asked curiously.
"It does." I answered honestly and Gretchen walked in my class grabbing my attention. "Is something wrong?" I asked and hopped off my desk and walked over to her.
"George is in a class in a different building, I don't know where the nurse is and I don't feel well." she admitted and I put my hand on her forehead to check her temperature, she didn't have a fever and I sat her down to hand out a book along with an assignment asking what everyone expects of the semester as well as what the class would be like, just to help get a feel of who expects what, then went to talk to Gretchen. "What are your symptoms?" I asked and she listed them. I went into my bag and grabbed out an aspirin for her and checked her schedule since it was in plain sight. She was off next class just like Clare and I set a desk aside. "Clare knows more than I do about this she'll be here next class, granted we're both free." I whispered and watched her lay down. I pulled out a space blanket from my closet and covered her up, then walked back to attend to my class. "Hand in the assignments as you finish them." I stated and pulled out one of my books to read. Not long after I started it papers started to come back and everyone sat back down as I looked at the time. There were fifteen minutes left of class. "Questions are welcome since everyone finished." I stated and watched hands go up and I called out another person.
She said her name before the question. "Are you and Gretchen married?" she asked curiously.
"No. We're not, she's a close friend of mine and married to one of the professors located in a different building." I assured and answered a few questions. Right as kids were packing up I walked to open the doors and saw Clare walking towards me and we kissed instantly causing everyone to cat call. "Clare, I need to be professional." I whispered after we pulled away and she looked at my class that was still in my room.
"Sorry." she whispered and I kissed her cheek.
"This is my wife." I introduced Clare to my class.
"I didn't notice a wedding ring." one girl pointed out and Clare instantly took my hand and held it up as she pointed to it.
"It never comes off." I stated and whispered to Clare about Gretchen only to watch Clare walk over and tend to her needs causing me to chuckle a little. Her maternal instincts were starting to kick in already, then I watched Clare as she stood up and walked over to me.
"We need to get George." she stated and my class walked out. I called him instantly and looked over at Clare curiously knowing she'd knew what my looks meant. "She's really ill. I don't know her symptoms. No fever, but she's nauseous, her stomach hurts, and she's sweating even after I removed the blanket." she informed me and I rubbed her stomach a little. Almost twenty minutes later George walked in and picked up Gretchen with no questions asked and nodded to us curtly as he carried her out. My guess was he was taking her home. Clare and I followed them and made our way into the crowded hall as we carried our belongings and held hands.
"Professor. Can I speak to you?" the dean asked causing me to look down at Clare as I went to let go of her hand. "She can come too." he informed allowing us into his office and shutting the door behind us causing me to gulp and Clare to squeeze my hand. We both entered in his office nervously and sat down in front of his desk. I felt like I was back in Degrassi sitting at principal Simpson's desk. I started to get fidgety and wanted to walk around the office just like I did with Simpson, only Clare rubbed the back of my hand to calm me down. "Mr. Goldsworthy. You're one of our best English teachers and with the lack of English teachers.." he trailed off.
"You want to give me more classes?" I sighed and rubbed my head.
"No. Mrs. Goldsworthy, you're how far along?" he asked curiously.
"Four and a half months. Our due date is March 28th." Clare said honestly. It was right before Spring break and I watched the dean nod.
"I'm putting in you're your maternity leave professor. A substitute will be taking over your class for the eight weeks and Mrs. Goldsworthy, you'll be required to do online schooling." he explained and sent us on our way. I was happy that I was nervous for nothing and kissed Clare's head when we left the office again.
"How was your first class?" I asked Clare and she sighed which meant it wasn't anything good.
"I hate my class." she sighed causing me to look down at her and take her schedule as she looked at it. I know the professor and he was fairly easy so I have no idea why Clare was complaining. A small groan elicited her lips when her phone started to ring and I looked down at her. "My annoyance." she sighed. "I fucking wish I was showing more." she looked down at her bump and rubbed it a little. "Please grow soon." she muttered. It was unlike her to actually want to show and I had no idea why.
"Clare." I said her name concerned as we finally got to Morty and hopped inside.
"I'm working with a partner. He knows I'm pregnant and married to you. He was in your class his freshman and sophomore year, Scott." she stated and I instantly remembered him. He was here for the same reason Clare was, he's a good guy. "He's so eager to do everything. He's nice and respects my opinion, but we're partners. We're to work together taking pictures and help each other with projects. We agree on a few things, but he wants to walk." she trailed off. "A lot. He also calls me lazy when I'd rather have my lap-top take notes for me, yet he copies my notes if he misses something." she went on and I chuckled.
"Give him time." I assured her and rubbed the back of her hand as we took off to our diner. The minute we got there, we made out in the car for a little and I was tempted to move us into the back since we were interrupted the last few times. "Clare." I whispered between kisses to grab her attention. "We need food." I smirked and she pulled apart.
"Eli we have two hours and forty minutes. Let's go home." she smiled seductively letting me know what she meant. I immediately drove us home and helped her out the minute we got there. Once we got to the door, we started kissing causing me to fumble with my keys as I unlocked the door and the minute we entered, Clare automatically set her phone alarm and walked to go cook.
"Tease." I whispered as I kissed her neck causing her to whimper and my hands to roam her body and down to her thighs as I stood behind her. "I need you." I whispered as I pushed my jean clad erection against her ass so she could feel. She immediately shut off the pan and turned towards me, wrapping her legs around my waist as I picked her up. We stripped off our clothing on the way to our room and I laid Clare on the bed only to smiled down at her as I removed her pants and panties, then kissed her a few times.
"Now who's being the tease, Eli?" she asked sarcastically and I pushed myself inside of her slowly and gently earning myself a moan from her. Moments later Clare flipped us over and started to bounce on me, my hands went to her waist, then to the undersides of her breasts as I gave them a soft squeeze causing her to moan more as I whimpered. I sat up and took one of Clare's breasts in my mouth only to taste breast milk that her body was starting to produce and started to work on her neck. "Eli that felt good." Clare whined.
"The milk doesn't taste good." I informed her only to watch her squeeze her breasts as a light liquid leaked out. She shrugged it off and held onto me as she continued to bounce, then I laid her down and started to thrust inside of her. Almost instantly her nails dug into my back and I started to thrust harder into her as we both moaned. "Fuck." I whimpered as she bit my neck most likely leaving a mark and left a few hickeys on her neck.
"I'm close." she whimpered and I started to go harder into her knowing I was hitting her spot. Within minutes I felt her walls tighten around me as she came on me. I smiled down at her and kissed her a few times knowing that I'm close. I started to whimper a little more and let out a few more moans letting Clare know I was getting closer and before I knew it, I felt my orgasm rip through me as I came inside her. We both started panting as I rode out my orgasm and kissed her passionately before falling beside her and lacing our fingers together only to check the time. We have two hours left.
"Damn." I breathed as Clare cuddled into me. "We've gone at it for forty minutes." I breathed, I didn't know how either of us were able to last so long with all the teasing that happened. We fell asleep minutes after I covered us up and we woke up to Clare's alarm an hour later giving us enough time to get dressed and eat. Not wanting to dress in something new, we've collected the clothes that were strewed in the house aside from her underwear and my boxers, they were new and we put the others in the hamper to wash at a later date.
After lunch, I walked Clare to her class only to find out it was canceled so she sat in on mine. When everyone came in the room I answered questions again as I got to know my students and Clare giggled at some of them and I passed back the survey asking kids what they expect from my class and other questions asking about them like I did with my previous class. During class as the kids were filling out their assignments, Clare sat next to me at my desk as she did her homework and squeezed my hand since I was reading. "What is it?" I asked and she pointed to her stomach and I rubbed her bump over her clothes and felt her grip loosen.
"I felt a weird pain like a kick or something. It hurt and I know why in the book, the girl wanted to kick the baby back." she mused and I chuckled and kissed the side of her head.
"It's too early for that." I whispered and she nodded.
"I know, but I don't know how else to describe the pain other than our baby kicking my organs or something." she stated and put her hand over mine as she moved it over her bump. "Keep it there. See if it happens again." she stated and I did as asked. I kept my hand on her stomach and nothing. After about ten minutes, Clare went to the rest room and came back shortly after and I looked at her. "No pain, but I want to go to the doctors to make sure we're both ok." she whispered and I dismissed my class early and shut the door behind them before walking back to her.
"Was there blood?" I asked curiously unsure of the reason for the pain.
"Of course not, I would've panicked if there was." she stated honestly and I kissed her head. "Good." I whispered and hugged her before pulling out my phone to see if I can get us a quick appointment and I did. Right after Clare and I finished school, we set off to the appointment to see what was up with our baby. Lucky for us it didn't take long to get there from the college and she took us back almost immediately.
"What happened exactly?" she asked and I looked at Clare as she explained it. Dr. Childs set up the ultrasound and soon our baby came on the screen as did a heart beat. "Would you like to know the gender?" she asked and Clare and I looked at each other.
"It's up to you, babe." I whispered.
"Please?" she asked and I smiled as I kissed the back of her hand.
"You're having a girl." Dr. Childs said happily and I kissed Clare chastely. "Everything is fine with both of you. The pain was just her probably stretching out. She's getting cramped and she's pushing your organs closer together." Dr. Childs explained and wiped off Clare's stomach in which I kissed the minute Clare sat up and pulled her shirt down. We're having a girl. I was so excited to find out I texted my parents immediately letting them know.
Once we got home, I cooked dinner and we both did dishes, Clare washed like usual and I dried them and put them away. After dinner we cuddled together on the couch as we watched TV. "Eli?" Clare asked and I looked down at her. "Can we start decorating the nursery and buying things for our little girl?" she asked curiously and I smiled at her.
"Of course." I whispered and kissed her lovingly as we cuddled, we went to sleep an hour after that as we cuddled. I can't wait for our daughter to start kicking.
Let me know what you think?
