Ch.9 Let the Sun Shine In
(DREW)
After getting Clare's bags in my room I grab our backpacks and we go downstairs to do our homework. I never did give Clare her native studies homework but it's still in my backpack.
"Hey I hear you're moving in," Adam remarks when we get down to the basement.
"Yeah I can't believe your mom was okay with it," Clare responds.
"I can, you would have been living here from the start if you'd just told us," Adam says in a slightly scolding voice.
"I know but I didn't want to do that Adam, Drew would have resented me. I didn't want him to be forced into the situation; he had to come around on his own. We all know Audra would have forced him to participate and be around, he was angry enough as it was I couldn't do that to him. I wanted Drew to come around but he had to be ready," she says and I feel even guiltier than before which I didn't think was possible.
"I'm sorry it took me so long Clare," I apologize wrapping my arms around her.
"I'm just glad you did come around," she smiles kissing my cheek.
"Took you long enough though," Adam scolds me.
"I know, I know I have a lot of making up to do but let's start on our homework for now," I request.
Adam goes back to what he was doing and I give Clare her native studies homework while I get out my math homework. Clare ends up helping me with math even though the class is a grade above her but it is basic, at least for her it is. Dallas gets home just before dinner is ready, like always, he comes in through the basement and drops his backpack to the floor.
"Hey Clare, congrats on the baby, I think," Dallas says closing the basement door.
"Now that Drew and I are back together and in this together congrats are in order," she replies with a smile and then mom calls us up for dinner.
Clare stands up and we all start going up the stairs, Dallas is leading followed by Adam and then Clare with me behind her. But she suddenly stops, leaning against the wall and shutting her eyes like she's in pain or something.
"Clare?" I say worried, taking her hand and putting a hand on her shoulder. Dallas and Adam both turn around to look at her and Adam puts a hand on her other shoulder.
"I'm okay," she says but she sounds kind of weak, "just a little…dizzy," she pauses before saying dizzy like she's searching for the right word and dizzy wasn't quite it.
"Is that normal?" Adam inquires.
"Yes, there's a lot going on in my body right now, I'm building a while other life it takes a lot out of me, the doctor said it was all normal," she assures us.
"Let's get some food in you, get some of your strength back," I tell her putting an arm around her in case she falters or passes out.
She makes it to the top of the stairs and my dad hugs her welcoming her to our home and family but I get a very censuring and disappointed look from him. We sit down to eat and Mom starts talking about what to do to the basement for us and the baby. After dinner the four of us kids go downstairs to do more homework, Clare goes for about an hour before curling up to sleep.
"I think I'm going to take her upstairs, put her in my bed in case she gets dizzy again," I tell Adam and Dallas and they nod. "Clare, come on let's go up to our room," I say shaking her lightly.
"Why?" She asks in a lightly groggy voice.
"Because you're falling asleep down here," I reply.
"Come on I'll carry your books," Adam tells her.
She yawns and stands up; I gather my books and the two of us get her up to my room. She lies down falling asleep again almost instantly and I sit on the edge of the bed by her feet.
"Is she okay?" Adam questions.
"She can hear you and she's just tired go finish your homework Adam," Clare comments.
"Okay, call me if you need me, I'm sure Drew will take care of you," Adam says putting a hand on her arm and then leaving my room closing the door as he goes.
I start on my homework but I keep glancing at Clare, what Bianca and Owen said about her having a hard pregnancy and being worried about her ring through my head and I'm worried. I'm nearly done with my homework when Clare suddenly groans and jumps up running out of the washroom. I throw down my book and follow her into the washroom where she loses all of her dinner as she pukes it up in the toilet. I sit behind her and pull her hair away from her face, rubbing her back gently.
"Are you okay?" I ask when she's done.
She leans against the wall, and looks at me with these sad sallow eyes that just break my heart. "I'm okay, it's just morning sickness, it can come at any time of day," she informs me.
She starts to stand and I grab onto her helping her up, she links her arms around my neck and puts her head on my chest, she feels weak, kind of shaking and her heart, beating against my chest, seems to be beating really fast. I remember what Owen said about her getting dizzy and everything. I scoop her up in my arms and carry her into the bedroom again laying her on the bed.
"You should get back to sleep," I tell her brushing a strand of hair from her face.
"I'm not so tired anymore; could you get me some water to wash out this taste in my mouth please?" She requests.
"Of course, I'll be right back just don't do anything," I say going out of the room. I go downstairs and get a glass filling it with water from the pitcher in the fridge. Mom and Dad are watching the news in the living room and I almost go back upstairs but then I stop. "Hey Mom," I say and she looks back at me, "did you get sick when you were pregnant? I mean did you get morning sickness even at night?" I ask her.
"Not at night but well into the afternoons, especially for the first couple of months, I barely at a thing until I was four months along. Why, did Clare throw up?" Mom queries.
"Yeah," I nod.
"Perfectly normal dear, I'll make her some peppermint tea," Mom tells me.
I nod and go back upstairs taking Clare her water, she's sitting up and she's regained some color which is good. I hand her the water and she smiles taking several sips before setting the glass on the nightstand.
"Thanks," she grins.
"You sure you're okay?" I ask her again.
"I'm okay Drew it's just part of the pregnancy, anyway I've got some homework to finish," she says grabbing her book.
I'm not sure I believe her but I get my books and start back up on my homework, Mom comes in a few minutes later with some tea for Clare telling her it will help with her stomach. She sips at the tea slowly while finishing her homework but she's tired when we're done, Adam comes in to say goodnight and we get ready for bed. Clare decides to sleep in one of my shirts, I don't mind at all as she looks quite sexy in my shirts. She gets in my bed rolling on her side; I get in on my back and put my arm out. She lies with her head on my chest and her arm draped across me, I wrap my arm around her.
"I love you Clare and I'm very sorry," I tell her, stroking her back.
"I know Drew and I love you too," she whispers against my chest.
She soon falls asleep again but I stay awake for a while, worried about Clare and our baby, full of guilt for leaving her and not being able to face this from the beginning. After a while exhaustion takes over and I drift to sleep. We wake up to my alarm the next morning, Clare is still in my arms and I kiss her gently, caressing her face.
"You're still here, I thought I was dreaming," she grins opening her eyes to look at me.
"No I'm still here, I'm never leaving you again," I assure her.
She sits up and stretches, we get out of bed and get ready for school before going downstairs for breakfast.
"How are you feeling Clare?" Mom asks.
"Pretty good this morning, not so nauseas yet but that could change," she replies but with a smile.
"I made you toast with fruit for breakfast and some more tea," Mom tells her.
"Thanks Audra," she grins.
Mom smiles and strokes her hair, Dallas and Adam are already at the table and they are stuffing themselves with bacon and eggs. I also fill my plate with bacon and eggs, scarfing it down too while Clare eats a piece of toast and a little melon, she does drink all of her tea though. I drive the four of us to school after breakfast and Clare sits up front. Owen and Bianca are on the steps when we get to school; Bianca hugs Clare before kissing Dallas.
"How are you feeling?" Bianca asks Clare.
"Better than yesterday," Clare replies taking my hand and I put my arm around her.
"Yeah well it only took Drew two months and being sent several hundred miles away to come around," Bianca comments.
"I know I screwed up but I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her," I reply turning Clare to me and capturing her lips.
"Hey are you guys back together?" Becky asks and I look at Adam amazed that he hadn't said anything yet. Guess Dallas didn't tell the team either because Luke is with her and looking just as curious.
"Yes we're back together, we never should have broken up and she wasn't really dating Owen, they were faking to make me jealous. I freaked out was so angry because I couldn't handle the fact that Clare is pregnant. But I am happy about it now, she's moving in and we're raising the baby together," I announce.
"Wow that was a lot of information so early in the morning," Luke remarks.
"Oh congratulations you're going to have a baby, I'm so happy you're back together! Oh I love babies, I'll be happy to babysit," Becky squeals hugging us both tightly.
"Whoa Becks slow down she's only umm…" Adam pauses looking at Clare.
"Thirteen weeks pregnant, I just started my second trimester," Clare informs everyone.
"So you broke up with Owen then?" Luke asks still confused.
"We were never really dating," Owen clarifies but Luke still looks confused so Owen looks at Clare with a grin. "Told you it would work," he says winking at Clare.
"Yeah a little too well, I think I owe you a punch or two," I comment to Owen.
"Yeah probably, let's go inside," Owen says quickly, moving behind Dallas before I can follow through.
All of us move inside now, we walk to Clare and Adam's lockers. Becky and Luke go to their lockers across the hall and they all start getting out books. When they're done we go to the senior lockers and the rest of us open our lockers. Now that we all have our books we all walk out to the foyer and sit on the steps. Clare sits on the step below me and leans against me with my arms around her.
"Weren't you dating my brother yesterday?" Tris inquires coming up with Maya, Cam, Tori and Zig.
"Actually we were faking Tris, we were never really dating," Owen informs his brother.
"I'm confused," Zig says sitting down, as do the other niners.
"We were trying to make Drew jealous," Owen says.
The niners are still confused so we go over the whole story again; I have a feeling we'll be doing a lot of that today. When the bell rings I walk Adam and Clare to their homeroom, they have the same one. I kiss Clare at the door and then walk to math, a class I have with Jake.
"So she's really pregnant?" Jake asks when I sit down.
"Yeah she's pregnant, thirteen weeks, Helen kicked her out the second she found out, disowned her for it," I growl.
"Helen's a bitch but you turned your back on her the second you found out," Jake counters.
Ouch! Right in the feel bads. "I know, I screwed up too, believe me I know. This isn't an excuse but I'm just a kid and I was scared and angry. We always used protection I just couldn't handle the thought of being a father. I did a terrible thing by abandoning her but I know I screwed up, I will never do it again and I'll spend the rest of my life making it right. Helen doesn't care at all she just kicked Clare out, told her she wasn't her daughter anymore."
"Dad and me are coming over for dinner tomorrow night to show you guys plans for the basement. Helen may have turned her back on Clare but we haven't." Jake says and I smile. "I just wish she would have told me," he adds under his breath but I hear him.
Plenty of other people in the class heard him say Clare was pregnant but it doesn't matter we're telling everyone today anyway. The bell rings and Armstrong starts class, then a student comes in and hands Armstrong a note.
"Mr. Torres, Principal Simpson would like to see you," he says and the class makes noises like I'm in trouble.
I leave class and start walking to the principal's office, Clare appears from around a corner. "Hey what are you doing out of class?" I ask her.
"Principal Simpson wanted to see me," she tells me.
"Yeah me too," I comment holding the note in my hand.
"He must have heard about my pregnancy," she remarks.
We get to Simpson's office and the secretary waves us in, we go to the door and Simpson motions for us to come in and I close the door. We sit down and I take Clare's hand.
"I heard some rumors spreading around school that you were pregnant Clare," Simpson says and I squeeze her hand.
"She is, the child is mine, she's living with us now," I speak for both of us.
"It's true Sir, I was never dating Owen and Drew just needed some time. We're together again and we're raising the child together. Audra and Omar let me move in, they're making some changes to the basement to make it an apartment for us," Clare informs him.
"Good I'm glad to hear it, I just need to know because word will get out and some parents will be concerned. Also as you get farther along you'll probably need some special considerations. How far along are you?" Simpson asks her and I actually feel proud because I know the answer.
"Thirteen weeks," she tells him.
"What about your parents Clare?" Simpson asks and she tenses up, I kiss her temple and squeeze her hand a little more.
"My mom kicked me out and disowned me when she found out, no one in my family is involved," she informs him.
"I just talked to Jake, he might be," I speak up.
"Do you think your mom might try and hurt you?" Simpson questions and now I tense up.
"I think she never wants to see me again," Clare says.
"Okay, I'll inform all your teachers, both of you, of Clare's pregnancy. You two can return to class," Simpson tells us, we smile at him, get up and walk out of the office.
"Do you want me to walk you to class?" I ask Clare.
"No I'll see you at lunch," she replies and then grips my shirt and kisses me.
"I love you," I tell her as she walks down the hall to her class.
She turns back and smiles at me, "I love you Drew."
(CLARE)
"I have to use the washroom, I'll meet you in parenting class," I tell Adam when homeroom lets out.
"You alright?" Adam questions.
"I have to pee Adam, not throw up," I reply.
"Okay see you in class," he smiles and walks off.
I walk to the girl's washroom but it's full so I go to the one closer to the office. After I'm done and I'm leaving the washroom I see Eli at the secretary's desk.
"Running late?" I tease.
"Therapy this morning," Eli explains, "what happened to you yesterday, you weren't here after lunch and Adam wouldn't tell me why."
"I got sick at lunch and Owen took me home," I reply.
"But you're okay now?" Eli asks.
"Yes but I'm pregnant," I reveal and Eli's eyes get wide, his mouth dropping open.
"You're…is it Owen's?" Eli inquires seeming to struggle with the concept that I'm pregnant.
"No it's Drew's child and I was never really dating Owen, it was a rouse Owen thought Drew would get jealous a…"
"Hold it," Eli interrupts me, "you've been pregnant this whole time? Drew knew and he was angry about it, he hit you and threw a planter through your window. He was drinking and all that and you want him back?"
"I still love Drew, he didn't take the news well, he freaked out and had a lot of anger he needed to deal with. He didn't mean to hurt me Eli; you've been in a bad place before too and done things you weren't proud of. Drew apologized Eli, he feels bad and he knows he has a lot to make up for but he wants me, and our child. I'm living at his house now, Audra and Omar and going to turn the basement into an apartment for us. If I can forgive Drew then so can you," I assert.
"I still think it's rotten that he walked out on you but I guess he did come around. He better not screw up again though," Eli says as we start walking to our classes. "Hey if you were going to fake date someone why wasn't it me?"
"Eli!"
"What? I'd think that would have driven Drew crazier than you and Owen," Eli comments with a smirk just as we arrive at my class.
I laugh and go into class sitting at the table with Owen and Luke because I'm used to doing so now.
"What was that about?" Owen asks.
"Eli found out I was pregnant," I reply.
"Clare you're pregnant!" Connor exclaims walking into class.
"Yes Connor, the baby is Drew's we're back together and I was never really dating Owen," I tell him quickly.
"And she's moving in," Adam speaks up.
The teacher comes in and we have to read in our text book and listen to the teacher give a lecture which is boring. I'm so bored that I'm actually glad when the bell rings for lunch even though I'm not hungry. I walk out of class with Owen, Adam, Luke, Becky and Connor, we start heading for the caf finding Drew and Bianca coming out of their business leadership class. Drew puts his arms around me and gives me a gentle kiss.
"Let's go to the Dot for lunch," Drew offers.
"Sure but I'm not very hungry," I reply.
"Doesn't matter you need you eat something," Owen says.
All of us walk to the Dot grabbing Dallas and even Eli, Dave and K.C. on the way. We take over most of the café, I order a salad and ginger ale but don't eat all that much. Drew and Owen tell K.C. and Dave all about my pregnancy and the fake relationship and everything. After we eat we walk back to school, hanging out in the courtyard, Drew and most of the other guys eventually get a football and start passing it around while Becky, Adam, Eli and I sit on the picnic tables.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jake asks suddenly from my side.
"I didn't tell anyone Jake, anyway what would it have mattered there's nothing you can do," I comment.
"I could talk to your mom, I could have helped," Jake says.
"Talking to my mom won't do anything; she's already made up her mind. There's nothing for you to help with Jake. I was living with Lucas now I'm moving in with Drew; we're going to raise the baby together. Mom already made her position clear, besides you're already helping by working on the basement with your dad this weekend," I point out.
"I still wish you had told me, I'm your brother," Jake says sitting down.
"She didn't even tell me and my brother is the one that got her pregnant," Adam comments.
"She didn't tell me either but she told Owen." Eli complains.
"I didn't tell Owen he figured it out, we both told Bianca when she started freaking out on us that we were going out, which we weren't. We had to tell her what was going on," I tell them.
"Dad and I will be over tomorrow night to go over the plans for the basement, your mom isn't coming though," Jake tells me.
"Good," I reply as the bell rings.
Some people start heading inside but Drew, Owen, Adam, Bianca, Dallas and I all have a spare period right now. We remain on the picnic table and I lean against Drew, I love the feeling of being back in his arms. Inhaling his scent and feeling his chest as it breathes, for a while I thought I might never feel these things again. Owen is great but I'm in love with Drew and nothing beats being in the arms of the one you love.
"So are you going to have a baby shower and stuff?" Bianca asks.
"Mom will make sure she has a baby shower," Adam says.
"So what are you hoping for, boy or girl?" Adam inquires.
"Honestly I wasn't even sure I was going to keep the baby, I really haven't thought about it," I respond.
"Both are kind of scary, little girls are probably easier, Adam and I got in all kinds of trouble when we were little trying to jump off the roof to be Super Man and other stupid shit. Then again teenage girls scare me but I'll be happy as long as it's healthy," Drew replies and I kiss his jaw.
Talk turns to hockey because Owen and Dallas play in the championship game next week. I start to fall asleep in Drew's arms but the bell rings all too soon. Since Dallas and I both have native studies next and Drew has geography with Owen and Bianca, Drew kisses me before we go back into school. A lingering kiss that makes my lips spark and ignites the fires of lust in my loins. As we're walking to class I start to feel woozy, my vision goes a little blurry and I feel like my heart is pounding. I don't quite feel like throwing up but if this sensation doesn't stop I might vomit. It gets to the point where I can hardly see or walk and I grip onto Dallas' arm making him look at me.
"You alright?" He asks and I nod. "Yeah I don't believe you," he replies.
He moves in front of me, bends down a little and picks me up by the legs so he's giving me a piggyback. I gasp and throw my arms around his neck, the bouncing sensation of the piggyback ride only makes the woozy sensation worse but he takes me all the way to class and I'm glad I'm not walking.
"Don't tell me you broke up with Drew again and you're dating Dallas now," Dave remarks when we come into class.
"No just giving her a piggyback, she wasn't looking so well," Dallas tells him.
"Are you okay Clare?" Becky asks worried.
"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy it's perfectly normal," I assure them.
We sit down and class starts, with time the feeling goes away and by the bell I feel normal again. Dallas, Dave and Becky still walk out of class on either side of me, Dallas keeping one hand on my opposite shoulder, his arm lightly draped across my back like he's waiting to catch me if I fall.
"Hey Gorgeous," Drew smiles when we meet up with him, Owen and Bianca.
"She got dizzy or something earlier, keep an eye on her," Dallas tells Drew.
"She's been getting dizzy or something a lot," Owen speaks up.
"Maybe we should take you back to the doctor," Drew comments in an anxious tone.
"Guys I'm pregnant, I'm building a whole other life, it takes a lot out of a body," I remind them.
"We have to head to practice," Dallas says.
"I'm coming over to do homework so I'll be over when you get home," Bianca tells Dallas.
"Sweet," Dallas grins and takes her by the waist to kiss her.
"I'll check on you after practice," Owen comments giving me a light hug.
We wave to the Ice Hounds, Adam joins us and we drive home with Bianca following. The first that all of us do is get a snack, then we go down to the basement to do homework. Lucas calls to check on me and I tell him about people coming over this weekend to work on the basement, he says he'll be over to help. Dallas brings Owen home with him and Audra orders pizza for all of us for dinner. By the time dinner is done I'm finished with my homework and want a shower, and Drew. I've been horny for the last hour but the basement was full of teenagers. Owen and Bianca both leave after dinner; Dallas has to start on his homework and Eli calls Adam so he disappears into his room.
"I'm kind of tired can we go lay down?" I request of Drew when we're alone with Dallas in the basement.
"Yeah sure," Drew responds closing his book.
We gather our stuff and go up to his room, I drop my stuff on the floor, close and lock his door and put on some music. Drew is sitting sideways on his bed, his legs outstretched and his math book in his lap. I walk over taking the textbook off his lap, straddling his legs and gripping the short hairs at the back of his head. My other hand resting on his shoulder I lure his lips into a feverishly salacious kiss. Drew's hands come to my waist, his lips parting and my tongue slips in, dancing with his tongue. My body moves, undulating above him, yearning to be filled by him, consumed with a desire to feel him. I deepen the kiss and his hands squeeze me just a little tighter, I might never have pulled my lips from his, I was breathing just fine and was relishing the kiss and the feel of his kiss again. Drew however begins to pull away after a few minutes, I don't want to pull out of the kiss and I nip his bottom lip in protest.
"I thought you were tired?" He inquires.
"I lied not tired, horny," I reply kissing him again and running my fingers through his hair as my lips attach to his again but Drew pulls out of the kiss all too fast.
"Okay but don't you think you should…" he starts but I take off my top and kiss him again.
This time I break the kiss, "Talking too much, my hormones are going crazy and I'm horny."
"Yes I can see that," Drew laughs, "you want me to eat you out like Owen did?"
"No you're really my boyfriend I want you to make love to me," I inform him.
"Won't that hurt the baby?" He asks but he's already taking off his shirt.
"Drew I'm thirteen weeks pregnant, our baby is maybe two inches we won't hurt it by making love. No stop arguing I'm pregnant and I want to be made love to," I assert.
"Yes Mistress, you're a lot more demanding when you're pregnant," he chuckles.
I pull at his jeans, opening the fly and yanking them down. Drew kicks off his shoes, sitting to take off his socks, then off comes the rest of his clothes. Now that he's nude, he gets on the bed, crawling over to me, unzipping my skirt and pulling it off my legs. Now he takes off my shoes, his eyes roving over my body and he makes a carnal grin.
"Oh how I missed this body," he smiles his eyes popping with anticipation.
I giggle and pull him down to kiss me; while we're kissing he unhooks my bra and takes it from my body flinging it across the room. His hands grip my breasts, squeezing gently and I moan. Drew rolls my nipples between his fingers until they become hard, he pulls out of the kiss and begins kissing along my neck, down my clavicle and along my side and I giggle. I open my legs, he gets between them, propping himself on his arms and gazing at me. I smile and bite my lip; Drew leans down and kisses my belly very softly, so softly his lips tickle.
"I can't believe there's a little life in there," he says and kisses my belly again.
Drew moves down a little more pulling at my panties, he gets them past my hips and he pauses to lick at my clit. My eyes go half lidded and a shuddering moan comes from my lips. He pulls them down a little more, kissing my inner thighs, I start to twitch, my body writhing in carnal desire and excitement. Finally Drew lifts my legs to pull my panties off all together. I feel him hard now as the head is poking at my pussy lips, I pull in a breath, gripping Drew's lower back as he enters me, thrusting in slowly and we both moan. My legs bend at the knees, my heels digging into the bed and my hips bucking. Drew puts one arm under my lower back, the other being used to keep his weight off me. He starts out slow but now that he's inside me, now that our naked bodies are touching and our hearts beating together we become almost desperate for each other.
Steadily we move faster and faster our bodies moving as one, melding together with the heat we're producing. My nails scratch along his back, our bodies moving in tandem, speeding up together, Drew thrusting deep into me and I moving to take him all in. The build increases, the need to climax becomes almost unbearable. Faster and faster we move, panting with quivering breaths, our bodies trembling and shaking with orgasmic energy. I tense and relax, my body tightening around him until finally I release in climatic eruption! Aware that his family is all home I muffle my orgasmic cry into his shoulder and he does the same only muffling it between my breasts. I go completely still but Drew simply slows down steadily, pulling out only when both our orgasms have dissipated. He pulls out inducing my body to another wave of erotic quaking. I curl on my side and Drew lies on his side next to me, holding me in his arms.
"All better?" He asks and I nod. "Next time you're horny you just need to say so," he grins.
"Everyone was home," I pant trying to catch my breath.
He laughs and kisses my nose, "I love you Clare," he says and then scoots down kissing my belly gently, "and I love you baby."
Update next Tuesday, possibly with some more sexy time but definitely including the renovation of the basement.
