Lost Within Love-Chapter 7
I give Eli a stern look. I can t believe he just stood there and said that. I didn t want to know what my mom was going to say. Her mouth was open and she couldn t believe what Eli had just told her.
"Clare honey, sit down."
I take her advice and take a seat. Eli is standing by the door I could tell he was awkward.
"What do you want to do with the baby Clare?"
"Wait mom you re not mad?"
"No what am I going to do about it now? I trust that you really love Eli. And I don t know if he loves you but it looks like it." We both look at Eli near the door just standing there.
"Hey Mrs. Edwards"
"Eli its ok you can sit down I want to know what you guys are going to do with this baby."
"We ll we didn t really go over that." Eli says awkwardly
"Clare, Eli I think it would be in your best interest to give up this baby your guys aren t ready to be parents."
"I think she is right Clare we aren t ready."
"No I want to keep this baby and mom you can t tell me what to do with it."
"Clare I am just telling you for your own good."
"No mom you want to control me and my baby well it isn t going to happen."
"CLARE we're just trying to look out for you" Eli practically screams
"Wait your on her side, Eli I want this baby I want us to be together Eli I love you so much I can t give this baby up its part of me and its part of you."
"Clare I know it s hard but we aren t ready don t you think the baby should have a stable home."
"Eli and I are only looking out for your best interest trust me it is going to be hard doing it at such a young age. Don t make the same mistake as me. That s why I wanted you to be pure."
"Are you saying I am dirty mom? Was Darcy a mistake now? Eli let s leave."
I drag Eli out of the house to his hearse. I didn t want to be in that house for one more second I just wanted to be with Eli and only Eli. He and the baby were my life now and I am ok with that.
"Clare we can't"
I cut him off.
"Listen Eli get in the car and let s drive somewhere I don t want to hear your shit I am having this baby and there is nothing anyone can do about it."
"If you really want to keep it then, Fine but we are getting our own place. And I pick the name :)"
"Fine Eli" I said with a smile
"How about we take this to my house my dad is still at work we can have some alone time."
"I would love that Elijah." He hates it when I call him that. We go back to his place and it was amazing.
"Eli your house is so nice."
"What did you expect a trash can?" He smirked
"Shut up."
We walk into his house and down to his basement which was his own little apartment. It was so Elijah Goldsworthy. He takes my hand and pulls me to the bed.
"So Clare what do you want to do play scrabble?" He teased
"I think you know what I want Elijah."
