Author's note: okay still not pregnant and I don't know how to be pregnant so I will make mistakes. (: I loved the reviews about what you want Danny to look like. The book is already written out so I cant change anything anymore but your baby ideas sounded cute(: I hope you enjoy this chapter.
When we got home, she suggested we do our homework that was due tomorrow. I sighed. Honestly, I completely forgot about school tomorrow. I didn't want to ask her what she would tell everyone once Danny started growing, so I didn't mention it.
I grabbed my French book and she grabbed her math notes and we sat on my bed and tried to focus. She laid on her back and held the notes in front of her face.
I smiled over at her and pushed my French book aside. I crawled over and put my hands on either side of her face and my legs on either side of her body. The length of my body wasn't pressing against her at all; there was no weight to hurt her or Danny.
She put the notes on the bed. "Eli, you cant honestly expect me to focus on math when you're on me, can you?"
"No," I laughed. "But I need help with my French homework,"
"Oh, really?" she looked up at me, like she knew what I was planning.
"It's not what you think. I'm just gonna say something in French and then tell you what I said. I need to see if I speak if fluently. Wanna help?"
Her face fell a little. "Sure. Go on, tell me anything. I'll see if I can guess,"
I smiled back at her. I knew French very well, so I decided to make this complicated. "Clare, je t'aime tellement que je vous ai aimé depuis je vous ai vu. tu es tout pour moi et je ne veux jamais te perdre. je t'aime dans tous les sens et chaque façon dont nous sommes togther est étonnant. Je ne pouvais pas être plus heureux que vous me donnez mon premier enfant. Je ne peux pas attendre d'avoir Danny et j'espère qu'il ressemble exactement comme vous. Je ne pense pas que vous aurez jamais undersand combien vous signifie pour moi. je t'aime, Clare, de tout mon cœur. Je vous remercie de me donner vous-même et Danny,"
She had a blank look on her face. "Well, I heard my name and Danny's name, so I'm guessing it has something to do with me and Danny?"
I nodded.
"Can you tell me what you said?"
"I could…but only if I get a reward," I hinted, a smile playing on my lips.
She glared back, jokingly. "Come here," she grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled my lips down to hers.
Well this was French homework we were practicing. I slipped my tongue into her surprise mouth and I felt her hands go limp on my back. I pulled away laughing.
"Can you tell me now?" she asked out of breath.
I nodded. "Clare, I love you so much I've loved you since I first saw you. You mean everything to me and I never want to loose you. I love you in every single way and each way we are togther is amazing. I couldn't be happier that you're giving me my first child. I can't wait to have Danny and I hope he looks exactly like you. I don't think you'll ever undersand how much you mean to me. I love you, Care, with all my heart. Thank you for giving me yourself and Danny,"
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Eli," she whispered. "Oh, Eli, I love you, too, so much. And every minute with you couldn't be better if we tried. Nothing and no one can compare to you. I need you, Eli. And as for Danny, thank you for giving me him. He wouldn't be here without you,"
"What are you talking about? You have to carry him for nine months. All I had to was stick my-"
She put her hand over my mouth. "Okay! I get it! But the fact is, we both created him,"
I smiled down at her. "Thank you,"
"Thank you," she echoed.
I leaned down and kissed her one more time, before rolling on my back and sighing. "Who do you think he'll look like? Me or you?"
"I don't know," she rolled on her side to look at me, propping herself on one elbow. "I just really hope he has your green eyes,"
"Or your blue eyes,"
"Either way, he'll be perfect,"
"Because he'll be ours," I twisted my fingers through hers and smiled. She blushed.
"You're right. He's ours. He'll be perfect. Especially, if he has the Goldsworthy genes,"
This time I blushed and smirked. "Yeah…"
She laughed. "Do you think we should go to bed?"
"Are you tired?"
"Kinda, yeah,"
"Then let's go to sleep,"
I got up and grabbed all our school supplies and shoved them into my school bag and her school bag while she dressed him her pajamas. She pulled the covers over her and closed her eyes.
I pulled my shirt and jeans off and just got in. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her against my bare chest. "Goodnight, Clare, I love you,"
"I love you, too, Eli,"
"I love you, Danny," I whispered, but she was already asleep.
We woke up the next morning and Clare puked again. I felt terrible. I wished I had to go through the pregnancy symptoms. I mean not only did she have to carry and eight pound child for nine months, deal with back pain, labor and giving birth, but she also had to throw up every morning. I wished I could do anything to make it better.
She got done and walked back into our room. I sighed. It was almost eight; we would have to get to school soon.
"Eli," she said as I pulled my shirt over my head. "I think we should tell Adam today at school,"
I zipped up my jeans and nodded. "Sure. I mean everyone's gonna figure it out eventually, but we can tell Adam,"
She sighed and laid down on my bed, legs hanging over the edge. "I cant fit into any of my jeans and I don't wanna wear sweats to school,"
I sat next to her and ran my fingers through her hair to calm her. "You're gonna have to for a little while. You going shopping today with your mom for maternity clothes. Only for today,"
She sighed and nodded. I gave her a pair of my black sweats and she pulled them on with a hoodie. I took her hand and we walked out to Morty.
When we got to school, we found Adam sitting with Drew and Alli on a bench in front of the school.
"Adam," I said. "Can we talk to you privately?" I looked at Drew and Alli. They began getting up.
"No, no," Clare protested. "Stay. They should hear this, too,"
I nodded and we all sat back down. I looked at Clare and nodded. She took in a deep breath and smiled.
"Okay, so I don't really want you guys to tell anyone yet, but Eli and I have something big to tell you,"
"You're engaged!" Alli screamed and smiled. "Oh my god, I knew it! I knew it! Drew, didn't I tell you? I knew it!"
"Alli, we're not engaged," Clare laughed. Alli's face fell. "I'm not engaged," Clare said again. She looked at each one of them. "But I am having Eli's baby,"
I smiled, hearing that. It sounded amazing to hear it come out of her mouth. Eli's baby. My baby. Danny.
"What?" Alli screamed louder then before. Clare shushed her. "You're pregnant?" Alli screamed-whispered. "Clare, you didn't even tell me you're having sex!"
"You didn't tell me either!" Adam yelled at me this time.
"You didn't?" Clare asked, turning to look into my eyes. The other three disappeared for a minute. "I thought guys bragged to their friends about sex,"
"Not me. That's personal,"
She smiled up at me and I smiled back, feeling the butterflies well up in my stomach and over flow into my heart.
"Okay, love birds!" Drew snapped his fingers at us.
"Clare Edwards. I cannot believe you're having Eli's baby!" Alli smiled.
It didn't sound as good coming from someone else, but it still made me smile. Clare was carrying my baby. My Danny.
"I am," Clare nodded.
The bell rang. Clare stood up with Drew and Alli. "Eli, Adam, you coming?" she asked.
"No," Adam answered for both of us. "I need to talk to Eli, here, about something called a condom,"
Clare rolled her eyes and the three of them left.
I looked at Adam. "Just for the record, I did use a condom,"
"That doesn't matter. Why didn't you tell me you're having sex with Clare?"
"Not having. Had. We had sex. It was only one time, like, three months ago on our anniversary. That was her gift and I couldn't refuse,"
"I get that. She's hot, but what about her abstinence pledge?"
"I don't know! She said it was time. And she looked so sexy and was kissing me and kissing me and I just, kinda, let my hormones take over," I admitted.
"And now she's pregnant,"
"I know, I know. It is my fault. I tried to tell her that, but she wont listen,"
"But it really isn't your fault. Eli, you're a teenage boy with a hot girlfriend that threw herself at you. How could you say no? And besides that, she wanted it. It wasn't like you forced her. So it's really both your faults," he laughed.
"I know, but he's not a mistake," I murmured.
"Whoa, wait, he? As in male? As in you're having a boy?"
"We're naming him Daniel. Danny for short,"
"Damn. I cannot believe we are sitting here talking about your soon-to-be-born son, Danny. I do have to ask one thing, though,"
"Shoot,"
"What was it like? What was she like?"
"Okay, we aren't having this conversation,"
"Oh, come on! Clare said herself guys are supposed to brag about this stuff. Unless she wasn't worth bragging about…"
He was trying to tick me off into spilling what it was like having sex with Clare and it was working. "She is worth it. It's just I wanna be respectful to her. Let's just say, it was amazing, she was amazing, everything felt amazing and now I have a son," I stood up.
"Okay, fine," she grumbled. He grabbed his bag and we began walking inside.
The rest of the day went by kind of slow. In lunch, Drew came up to me and pulled me over before I could find Clare.
"What do you want, Drew?" I wondered, glancing around the cafeteria to find Clare. "I need to find Clare,"
"You had sex with Clare?" he asked.
"Uh, kinda. Why?"
"Kinda?"
I tried to think of how to word this so it didn't sound cheesy. It was a whole lot more than just sex. "We didn't have sex, we made love,"
"Oh you made something," he muttered. "But, no, Alli wanted me to ask you because Clare wont answer any questions for her and she knows you wouldn't answer them to Alli, so I'm supposed to ask you,"
I looked at him, confused. "What does she wanna know?"
"She wants to know why you did it. Clare is abstinent and she wasn't supposed to have sex,"
I sighed. I knew that. I still felt bad about it. "Clare said it was the right time, and she was ready and didn't care about the purity ring. I wasn't going to say no,"
"Say no to what?" KC came up from behind me.
"Clare and Eli-"
"Dude!" I smacked Drew and gave him a shut-the-hell-up look.
"Clare and Eli moved in together," Drew saved. I sighed.
"Did you really?" KC asked. "That's nice,"
I knew KC wasn't too fond of me and Clare dating. I shook my head and found Clare, sitting at a table with Jenna, Alli, and Adam. Drew followed me over and sat next to Alli. KC didn't. He broke up with Jenna about a month ago, telling her he couldn't be a father. That disgusted me. If he didn't want to be a father, he should have kept it in his pants. At least I was there for Clare, and I wanted this baby.
Jenna and Clare were talking about babies. I smiled. Apparently Jenna was having a girl and they were discussing future marriages. I laughed. Danny wasn't even big enough to give Clare a baby bump and she was already setting him up.
Clare grabbed my hand. "What's funny?"
"So Danny isn't even here yet, and you're arranging marriages for him?" I laughed again.
"Alyssa is going to love Danny," Jenna promised.
"Alyssa?" I asked.
"Yeah. Alyssa Marie Middleton,"
"You're not giving her KC's last name? Good. He doesn't deserve it," I smiled at Jenna. I'll admit when I first came here and she was a bubbly, bottle-blonde cheerleader and I didn't want anything to do with her. But getting pregnant and her heartbroken had really made her mature. She's not as bad as I thought she was.
"No, he doesn't," Clare agreed and took Jenna's hand.
When lunch ended, Clare and I went to our separate classes. At the end of the day, I went to meet her at her locker and saw her talking to KC. Before I interrupted, I decided to listen.
"So, you're really pregnant?"
"Where did you hear that?" she asked him, turning to face him.
"No one. I heard you and Jenna talking about it in lunch. You really gave it up to him?" he scoffed.
"KC, he's one-hundred percent better than you,"
"And now you're pregnant with his devil child,"
I was about to cut in and tell him he better keep his mouth shut if he wanted to keep it attached to his face, but Clare shouted at him before I could.
"You're going to be a dad, too," she reminded him.
"No, I'm not,"
"So you're just gonna pretend like it never happened? You're really gonna leave Jenna all alone with your baby?"
"You don't get it, Clare,"
"No, I get it. You're scared, KC. You're afraid of this baby! That's why your running away from it! You're a coward and you always will be!"
"You don't know a thing about me now, Clare,"
"It doesn't matter! I know that you got Jenna pregnant and now you're leaving her because you're a scared little boy that cant man up to his mistakes!"
"Mistake? So you're calling the baby a mistake?" he started to look mad, like he was actually defending the baby.
"Don't even act like you care! You're the one who told Jenna to get an abortion! You don't want this baby! Well you know what, KC, if you didn't want to be a dad, you should have kept it in your pants!"
"You're one to talk! Emo boy didn't keep it in his pants!" he shouted back at her.
"So? He's still sticking with me and not leaving me with this baby alone. He's a real man. He takes responsibility for his actions and doesn't bail when he gets scared! He's more man than you'll ever be!"
"Is that why you lost it to him? Because you thought he'd be better than me?"
"This isn't about who's better or not, but for the record-he is better than you! This about you leaving your baby all alone. KC, you're father is in jail and hasn't been around you at all in your life and now you're doing that to your child!"
"Shut up!" he yelled. "You don't know a thing about my life or my dad or what's going on with me so shut your cocky, judgmental, stuck up mouth. Just because only Emo boy would give it up to you Saint Clare, doesn't make you all that. You're nothing but a bitch!"
I stepped between Clare and KC. "Alright, you need to get away from her now and stay away from her,"
"What are you gonna do about it, dad?"
"KC, whether you like it or not, Jenna is having your baby and you're gonna be a father. So, like Clare said, stop running away from it and man up to it. Quit being a coward,"
"Eli, you know you're terrified right now," he assumed.
"You're right," I admitted. "I am terrified. But I'm not terrified that my baby is gonna screw up my life. No, I'm afraid I'm gonna be a bad father, or that Clare is gonna go through pain just to give me my baby, but I most certainly am not running away from my baby,"
"You don't know me," he whispered.
"I don't have to. You got someone pregnant. Don't you care that your baby is inside of her?"
"Of course I care!"
"Then why are your leaving her alone with it?"
"Because I cant be a dad!"
"Then you cant be a man," I said calmly. I wrapped my arms around Clare's shoulders and pulled her away from KC. "C'mon, let's go home,"
We got in Morty and she started crying. I pulled her into my arms. "It's okay, it's okay. KC is a jerk, don't let him get to you,"
"It's not that," she sniffed. "Are you really scared, Eli?"
"Yes. I'm terrified. But I'm scared that I'm going to screw up Danny's life. Not that he's gonna screw up mine. Clare, he's only going to make my life better,"
She smiled and kissed me. I could taste her tears on her lips. I pulled away and started the car.
I had to drop Clare off at her parent's house so she could go maternity shopping with her mom. I didn't know what I would do while she was gone.
Author's note: well, there you go. Adam, Alli, Drew, KC…their reactions. Like? Dislike? I liked Eli talking to KC about it. I wish they would have a conflict on the show. Well, send me love…
