Clare's POV:

"Eli, there is something I would like to tell you. It is something that I never told anyone, but given the circumstances I think you should know." Clare said worriedly.
"Clare, you can trust me with anything." Eli said.
"Do you promise?" Clare asked.
"Yes." Eli said.
"Okay, when I was a sophomore K.C. got me pregnant. But that's not what's wrong, I had an abortion. I never told anyone, not even my parents. " Clare said.
" Are you serious Clare?" Eli asked.

"Yes, I decided that I just couldn't be a parent that young. I needed to escape." Clare said.

"You want another abortion, don't you?" Eli asked.

"No, I am older and I am ready for this. You said you would be supportive and I trust you will be." Clare said.

"Of course I will be supportive of your choice Clare. I am fully here for you." Eli said.

"Thank you." I lean over and I kiss Eli passionate on the lips.

Eli's POV:

I can't believe Clare has been pregnant before. I am really glad she told me though. I am even more glad that we are going to keep this baby. I am not against abortion; I am just against killing our baby. To be honest, I think I am falling in love with Clare. She is the world to me now.

This is our second chance. For the both of us. I have screwed up in the past, and so has she. We both have screwed up, but that won't change how things will end up. I am going to take care of this baby with her; I refuse to be a wash up father who abandons their child.

Clare trusts me, and that is really the only thing I can ask for. She told me that I was the only one who knows about her secret abortion. I think she know I would never judge her for this. It is her past, it is what makes her, her. When it comes to my past, I would be the same person either if I didn't live it. If Julia would have never cheated, I would have never have met Clare. I would have never fallen for her. So many if's, and only one answer. It was all destiny.

No POV:

Clare and Eli's date went well. Eli didn't judge her for her 'sin' and she was forever thankful for that. They became really close to each other that night. Both felt the sparks when they kissed. Both of the teenagers felt something they have never felt before. Love.

After the date was over, Eli went home and called Adam.

"Hello?" Adam said.

"Hey dude." Eli said.

"It's one a.m. what do you need Eli?" Adam said.

"I was just going to say thanks for the help with Clare, she and I are officially together now. We also have some news though." Eli said.

"Oh god, what did you do?" Adam said.

"Clare's pregnant." Eli said.

"What!" Adam shouted.

"We also decided to keep the baby and raise it ourselves." Eli said.

"Oh my god Eli, what have you gotten yourself into this time?" Adam questioned.

"Clare and I agree on this one." Eli said.

"Fine, but you are coming over tomorrow and we are going to talk about this when I am more awake." Adam said.

"Ok, see you tomorrow afternoon." Eli said.

Adam freaked out about Clare and Eli having a baby. He knew that there was a chance of Clare being pregnant, but he thought odds were on their side for once. Sometimes things don't always work out for the best. Adam knew he would have to talk some sense into Eli and Clare before it was too late and they screwed up their lives forever.

Clare knew she could trust Eli. He was an amazing person. Clare knew that he needed to know about her past, she didn't want any secrets screw up their new found relationship. All secrets do is screw up a good thing. They hide the truth and hurt everyone around you.

Adam's POV: The next day.

God Eli is so stupid sometimes. He speaks from his heart and not from his mind. He knows that you can't just have a baby with someone you just met. Clare was a nice girl, but she has her fair share of problems as well. Neither she nor Eli needed this sort of thing right now.

I was pacing around my living room anxiously waiting for Eli to get here. He and I needed to have a serious talk. I am in complete amazement that he wants to raise a baby with a girl he has only met maybe three times. This is so ridiculous.

Knock, knock.

"Hey Adam." Eli said.

"What were you thinking?" Adam said.

"What do you mean?" Eli said.
"You and Clare cannot seriously raise a baby all on your own. Both of you just met." Adam said.

"Well we talked about it, and we are going to date while she is pregnant and maybe take it from there." Eli said.

"This is ridiculous Eli, and you know it." Adam said.

"How is this ridiculous?" Eli said.

"Why doesn't she just have an abortion?" Adam said.

"Because she doesn't want to, I don't want her to." Eli said.

"You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into this time. You will have to take care of another life, and possibly have to stay with Clare forever." Adam said.

"I am falling for Clare, I really like her. I am will to do anything to help with this child she and I created." Eli said.

"I sure hope so. And you better not ditch her when the going gets rough Goldsworthy." Adam said.

"Trust me, I am not going to go anywhere, I am in this for the long run." Eli said.

Clare's POV:

I know that I have to tell my parents, but I am scared out of my mind. The first time I was pregnant, I told no one. It was my own little secret, and for some reason I trusted Eli enough to keep it that way. I think I am actually falling for him. He is a really special person. I really hope he pulls through and helps me with our little situation.

I thought about Eli all night, he was racing through my mind, and there was nothing I could do about it. Again on my mind today, I decided to call up Ali and ask her to meet me up at The Dot so we can talk. I need to tell her about the baby, I know she is going to kill me for not telling her right away, but I needed time to processes the news first. When time came to go to The Dot, I hopped in the car and drove there. I walk in the door, and I see Ali sitting by the window.

"Hey Ali!" Clare said.

"Hey Clare, what's new?" Ali said.

"Well, I have some news." Clare said.

"Ok, tell me." Ali said.

"Well, you know how Eli and I had sex at that party?" Clare asked.

"Yes?" Ali said.

"Well, we didn't use any protection, and now I'm sort of…" Clare said.

"Sort of what!" Ali shouted.

"I'm pregnant." Clare whispered.

"Oh my god Clare, are you going to keep it?" Ali asked.

"Yes, Eli and I decided to keep the baby and raise it ourselves." Clare said.

"So you and a complete stranger are going to be raising a baby together. That's not crazy at all." Ali commented sarcastically.

"Ali, Eli and I are dating now. We talked this over, and we can do it. We are taking things slow and that's how it's going to be for now." Clare said.

"Fine Clare, but if you need me, or if you get into too much trouble, you know where to find me." Ali said.

"Thanks Ali, you are a really good friend." Clare said.

A long conversation and a few tears shed, Ali and I said goodbye and I headed home. When I finally made it home, my phone started to ring.

"Hello?" Clare said.

"Hey Clare." Eli said.

"Hey Eli." Clare said.

"I was just checking to make sure you and the baby were doing alright." Eli said.

"Yes, we are doing fine. I was just about to make a doctor's appointment, would you like to come with me?" Clare said.

"Sure, I want to go to all of the baby related stuff, plus I want to hang out with you." Eli said.

"Awe, you are so sweet. I will call you when I have the appointment all set up." Clare said.

"Alright, I will talk to you soon." Eli said.

I finish talking to Eli, and I dial the number to the Doctor's office.

Ring, ring.

"Dr. White's office, how may I help you?" receptionist said.

"Hello, this is Clare Edwards. I need to make an appointment to confirm a pregnancy." Clare said.

"Alright miss. Are you over sixteen?" receptionist said

"Yes, I am almost seventeen." Clare said.

"Alright, then you don't need a parent to come. What time would be convenient for you to come in at?" receptionist said

"Any time soon, I would like to know as soon as possible." Clare said.

"Alright, we have an opening today at three-thirty. Is that feasible for you?" receptionist said

"That would be perfect. Thank you very much." Clare said.

I hung up the phone, and I immediately called Eli back.

Ring, ring.

"Hello?" Eli said.

"Hey, my appointment is at three-thirty today. Do you still want to come with?" Clare said.

"Defiantly. Do you want me to pick you up or just meet me there?" Eli said.

"How about you pick me up, we can talk on the way there." Clare said.

"Okay, I will be at your house at three." Eli said.

"Perfect, I will see you then." Clare said.

Eli's POV:

Wow, things happen fast. Clare and I are going to the doctor today to confirm her pregnancy. I am pretty sure she is pregnant because she has all of the signs. She is having mood swings, she is craving odd foods, and she missed her period. Even if she wasn't pregnant, I would still want to be with her. We have a huge past together, even if it is only been a month.

Three o'clock in front of Clare's house:

Honk, honk…

"Hey Clare, you look nice today." Eli said.

"Thank you Eli, you look great too." Clare said.

"You flatter me. Shall we get going?" Eli said.

"I think so." I drove off in the direction of the doctor's office.

"So, do you want a boy or a girl?" Eli said.

"Um, I would be happy with either, but I think I would want a boy." Clare said.

"That's sort of funny because I want a girl." Eli said.

"Well, I really would be happy with either." Clare said.

"Me too." Eli said.

After a short ride to the doctor's office, we had about ten minutes to spare. I turn to Clare and I capture her lips in a loving lock by surprise. A few minutes later, we break away from each other.

"Whoa, what was that for?" Clare said.

"It was just because you are my girlfriend, and I wanted to kiss you." Eli said.

"Well in that case…" Clare captured my lips in a loving lock and we stayed that way until it was three twenty-seven. We hurriedly made it into the building and checked in with the doctor.

We waited patiently for about five minutes until Clare's name was called.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" Eli said.

"Yes, you said you wanted to be here for me and the baby." Clare said.

"Alright, then let's go." Eli said.

Clare and I walked into a small white room with a bright light. Clare sat on the table coved with the sanitary paper while I sat in a chair in the corner. The nurse drew blood from Clare's arm and announced she and the doctor will be back in a few minutes with the test results. When she was gone, Clare and I sat in a comfortable silence until the doctor came back.

Clare's POV:

"Hello Clare, I'm Doctor White." Doctor said.

"Hello Dr. White, I'm Clare, and this is Eli." Clare said motioning towards Eli.

"It's nice to meet you both." Doctor said.

"So, what are the results?" Clare said.

"Well, you are pregnant. Congratulations." Doctor said.

"Wow, I already sort of knew, but to actually hear it makes it so much more real." Clare said.

"Indeed it does, it looks like you are about one month along. So you are due in February." Doctor said.

"We conceived our bundle of joy in May then." Clare said.

"It looks to be so. Now let's get an ultra sound to see how the baby is progressing." Doctor said.

"Alright." Clare said.

"Do you want Eli to stay for this, you are too early along to do a topical ultra sound on your stomach, and we will have to do a vaginal ultra sound to detect the baby's progress." Doctor said.

"I want him to stay." Clare said.

"Alright then, let's get started." Doctor said.

When the doctor was done with the ultra sound, she printed off pictures of the baby and I got dressed. The whole time I was getting the ultra sound, Eli held my hand. To be blunt, it was very uncomfortable having something like that jabbed up your vagina. It was worth it though, because it confirmed that our baby was healthy and right on track for progress.

No POV:

It was all too real now. Clare's Pregnancy was confirmed. Clare was nervous about it, and Eli was happy. Both of them found joy in knowing that their baby was going to be alright, and it was on track.

When Clare found out she was due in February to have the baby, she was hoping it would be due on Valentine's Day. She wanted to have a 'love' baby. She would be happy either way. Eli on the other hand could care less when the baby was due, just as long as he or she was healthy.

The two teens only had one problem; they had yet to tell their parents about the pregnancy. Clare and Eli decided to break the news to both sets of parental units after dinner tomorrow night. This should be one exciting evening tomorrow.


A/N: Alright, I got a new computer, and I cannot be happier. So I wrote a new chapter sooner than expected. I hope you guys liked it, I will post the next chapter hopefully tomorrow. It will be about telling both sets of parents. As always, I loved the reviews I received. You guys make me exceedingly happy. Thank you all so much!
