Degrassiluver15, you have been reviewing my stories for a while so thank you. You always leave the same review, is it just a coincidence or you do that on purpose? I was really curious but thanks for the reviews anyway.
Eli and Clare were lying down on the couch watching a movie. Clare had been out of school for a while considering she was 9 months and was bound to have the baby any day now.
"I'm gonna go the bathroom." She got up and wobbled down the hall to the bathroom. She pulled down her pants and her jaw dropped.
"Eli…." She yelled and he came running in the bathroom. "What happened?"
"My water broke."
"What?" He yelled. "Are you sure it's not pee?"
"No, go get your mom." Eli ran upstairs to tell his mom and came back to Clare. She was now waiting for them, her heart beating really fast. Cece came running down the stairs with a baby bag.
"Let's go." They got Clare in the car and about two minutes with them being in the car, the pain started to kick in.
"Ahhh." She screamed, she grabbed Eli's hand and squeezed it. She began crying and screaming, practically ripping Eli's hand off.
"Mom, what do I do? She's crying."
"Its fine Eli, we'll be there in like 2 minutes. Keep holding her hand." Eli kept whispering in her trying to calm down. "It's okay, I love you, it's gonna be okay." But it didn't cause Clare to calm down any less. They arrived to the hospital and Clare couldn't even walk, the doctors had to pull out a stretcher to bring her inside the hospital. Eli and Cece followed suit.
Clare was about 2 hours into labor; the pain had subsided by now so she was calmed.
"How are you feeling?" Eli asked.
"Fine for now, I just wish they would get her out already, I don't like waiting." He gave her a chaste kiss, "It's gonna be worth it, I love you."
"I love you too." The doctor soon came back into the room, "Okay Clare, we're gonna give you Pitocin to help speed up the labor."
She took a deep breath and nodded. She looked at Eli, took his hand and smiled.
15 minutes later, there was nonstop screaming in this room. Clare was practically breaking Eli's bones from the pain from squeezing his hand, "God Clare, you're hurting me."
"I don't give a fuck." She yelled from frustration and the pain and squeezed his hand harder.
"Just two more pushes, Clare." The doctor informed her.
"I can't." She shook her head.
"Babe, just two more. You can do it." He kissed her cheek. She squeezed her eyes close and gave another push.
"One more." The doctor encouraged, "One more."
"I can't, it fucking hurts. "She cried.
"One more Clare, just one. Count to 5 and push. The baby is right there." She took a deep breath and pushed letting out a scream and felt relieved once she felt the baby pop out.
She was breathing heavily and swallowed the lump in her throat. She turned to Eli, "We're never having kids again."
He smiled and wiped her tears, "I won't let you go through that pain again." And he gave her a chaste kiss.
"Here you go Clare, you're new born daughter, Congratulations." They had her wrapped up in a soft green blanket. She smiled and took her baby from the doctor, "Thank you."
"Clare." Dr. Martens called. "Yeah?" She turned her head to him. "You remember what I said about the baby's' muscles?"
She hesitantly nodded and was afraid of his next comment.
"She's fine now, but she may develop it as she grows older."
"Uhm what do I do when that happens? Do I just let her live like that?"
"When that time comes, you can bring her back and we'll see what we can do. Okay?"
Clare nodded and wiped the tear that fell down her face. "It's gonna be okay." Eli said wiping her tears.
She looked at her baby and began to tear for another reason, "I can't believe we're parents."
"Me either." Eli smiled looking at both his girls. Clare was talking to her baby as if she could understand every word she was saying. Eli took her hand and the baby wrapped her hand around one of EIi's fingers.
"You want to hold her?" Clare asked and he nodded. "Doctor Martens, can you let my parents and his parents in now? Please?"
"Sure, I'll go get them." Then Clare turned to Eli and saw him talking to Ariana and couldn't help but smile at him, he was gonna make an amazing father.

About 2 weeks from the birth, the doctors informed Clare she was allowed to go home. Eli was lying down in the chair sleeping and Ariana was on her other side in whatever the doctor placed her in. She shook Eli and he woke up, "You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, we can go home now."
"Really?" She nodded in response. She sat up from the bed, aching. "Can you pass me my bag?"
Eli got her bag and she pulled out some black sweats and a big t-shirt since she still had her baby belly.
She took off the gown and put on her clothes, when she had to pull her pants up above her butt she hopped down and instantly fell aching in her lower region, "God damn." She muttered.
"What happened?" Eli asked.
"It still hurts." She said as she pulled up her pants and tying her messy hair up.
"Don't worry, when we get home you can lie down." She nodded and grabbed her bag.
"Can you get Ariana?" She asked.
Eli nodded and went around to get her. She was now covered and had a cute pink hat on her head since they were going outside; she was sleeping in Eli's arms.
"You ready? My mom said she's downstairs." Clare nodded and they made their way out of the hospital.

They were now walking in Eli's house. Clare headed straight upstairs so exhausted and Eli followed still holding Ariana.
Clare hopped in bed trying to fall to sleep as fast as possible. "Babe, should I keep her with us or in the crib?"
"Keep her here for now." She said. Eli lied sleeping Ariana down next to her mom. Clare wrapped her arm around her daughter and they both fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Eli was downstairs gathering their friends to come over to see their new baby. He called Adam, Alli, Fiona and Sav. They said they would be there in about 30 minutes, so they could surprise Clare.
In about 15 minutes, they were all there in the living room. "I'm gonna go wake her up, be quiet." Eli said as he went back up to their room.
"Clare…"He softly whispered.
"Clare…." He shook her a bit. She twist and turned until she opened her eyes, "Hmmm?"
"Can you come downstairs please?"
"For what?" She groaned.
"I want to show you something. Please." He begged.
"I'm tired." She said pulling the blanket up to her chin.
"Please." He kissed her cheek. She groaned, "I'll be down in a minute."
"Okay and bring Ariana." He called out walking downstairs.
"She's coming down in a bit." He informed everyone. They sat quietly and Eli stood near the stairs for standby. He saw her coming down the stairs with Ariana, "What do you want?" She asked as she walked down the stairs, tiredly.
She reached the bottom and turned to see her friends in the living room as they yelled 'Congratulations'. She smiled, "Thank you guys." She gave Eli a chaste kiss and walked over to her friends.

They were talking, catching up when they heard crying. Clare looked down at her baby in her arms and realized she woke up.
She tried to hold her, Ariana's head leaning on her shoulder but it didn't work.
"Maybe she's hungry." Sav suggested. Clare turned slightly, lifting up her shirt and bra and fed her baby which caused the crying to stop.
"I'm kinda jealous of our daughter right now." Eli told her. Clare laughed, "Too bad, you'll get your turn again."
"Alright guys, too much info." Adam said covering his ears. Eli continued to catch up with his friends while Clare fed Ariana. When she was done, she fixed her shirt and began to try to burp her.
"Can I do it?" Alli asked.
"Sure." Clare handed her best friend the towel to lie on her shoulder and gave her Ariana. "Just be careful." Clare advised.
"Don't worry."

About 2 hours later, Clare and Eli were upstairs after their guests had left about 45 minutes ago. Clare was feeding her again. For a new born, she sure did eat a lot.
A question was bothering Eli and he was tempted to ask, "You know how when we had sex, and I would suck on your breasts?" He asked bluntly.
She blushed and nodded. "If I was to do it now, would milk come out?"
She laughed and nodded. "That's so weird. Shouldn't there be a sensor so only milk comes out when the baby is drinking it."
"Well there isn't Eli."
"How does milk even get in there?" He said too confused about the female body.
"I don't know, will you just shut up?" She playfully ordered.
He moved next to her, "I can't wait to that belly goes down and we make love again." He whispered in her ear.
"And how are you so sure I want to?"
"Psht look at me." He gestured towards himself, "Of course you want to."
She smiled and gave him a kiss, "We will, sooner than you would expect."
Wow so this sucked, I never realized how hard pregnancy stories actually are. But this is probably the longer chapter so far so that's a plus. Hope you enjoyed and review
