Clare's POV

There was a sudden pressure in my stomach. My water broke. My due date wasn't for another month. I sat up immediately sat up and shook Eli until he looked at me.

" What's wrong baby?" He asked rubbing his eyes.

" My water broke." I whispered, but loud enough for him to hear me. His eyes snapped open and looked straight in my eyes.

" Are you being serious? Come on we have to go!" He said shouting, running into the closet and throwing on random clothes. I got up, slowly, and put on my maternity clothes on. By the time I had brushed my teeth, Eli was already down the stairs with my bag and he was standing by the door, holding it open for me.

" Honey, we have time, we don't have to rush." I smiled as I walked out the door.

" I know, but I would rather be safe then sorry. He said as he opened the car door for me.

We drove to Berks County Hospital and filled out some paper work at the front desk. A nurse brought me a wheel chair, which I really didn't need, and put Eli and I in a room on the 3rd floor. They gave me one of those paper gowns to wear and hooked me up to an IV bag. After they finished, they left me and Eli alone for a little while.

" Ouch." I mumbled after the first few contractions. Eli pulled a chair next to the bed and held my hand in his. His thumb rubbed small circles on my pale hand.

" You alright, baby?" He asked quietly. I just nodded. The contractions came sooner and were more painful. The doctor came in and told me it was time to push.

" She's beautiful." Eli said as he held our baby girl in his arms. She had dark hair and a round face, with plump lips and a cute nose. She looked just like Eli but had my bright blue eyes. She was tiny, she measured at 19 inches long and 5 lb. and 11 ounces. Eli sat by my bed, the same place he had been sitting the entire time.

" We did good." Eli smirked and looked up at me.

" Yes we did." I chuckled a little bit. I started to drift to sleep, listening to the small sounds of Eli talking to Scarlett.

Eli's POV

" Hi baby girl, I'm your daddy. Your mommy is over there sleeping. You have an amazing family. Your mommy and I will always be here for you, when you take your first steps, when you go to school for the first time, and even your first heartbreak. I hop you are just like your mom, sweet and loving, but also a little feisty." I smiled and looked over at Clare, who was fast asleep. Even though her hair was a mess and she had no make up on, she still looked absolutely stunning. I stood up, still holding Scarlett, and gave her a small, but sweet kiss. I pulled back and lied Scarlett down in the little crib they had in the hospital. I covered her small body with a light pink blanket. I smiled to myself and turned around to see Clare sitting up in bed looking at me and smiling. I smirked at her and sat back down by her bed and took her small hand in mine.

" Hi baby." She said looking at me with her big blue eyes.

" Hi, how you feeling?" I asked.

" Good. So I heard you talking to our baby girl." She gave me a look and smirked.

" What's wrong with that?" I asked.

" Nothing, I think it's really sweet. And you are turning into a mush ball." She giggled.

" You know you love it." I smirked and squeezed her hand.

We both laughed a little.

" So when do we get to take her home?" She asked.

" The doctor said anytime today, if you are ready."

" Oh ok, let me get changed out of this ugly gown and then we can leave. She said as she slowly got up and walked into the bathroom with her clothes.

I smirked and went to our stuff to finish packing everything up. Just then I realized that we hadn't told anyone that Clare had Scarlett. I felt a little guilty. Clare came out of the bathroom, only in her sweat pants and bra.

" Are you trying to seduce me in a hospital? You just had a baby." I joked.

" I am not! I just forgot a shirt." She laughed at me and grabbed a shirt from the bag. I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her waist. I slowly leaned in to press her lips to mine. She kissed back immediately. The kiss was slow and filled with love and passion. She pulled away breathless and so did I. She gave me a quick peck on the lips and put her shirt on. We put Scarlett in an infant stroller and check out of the hospital. One of the nurses help us out to our car. Her face was priceless when she saw that we drove a hearse. I helped Clare into the back seat and handed her Scarlett, who was still wrapped in the pink blanket from the hospital. I hopped into the drivers seat and started the car.

" Hey blue eyes?"

" Yea babe?"

" Do you think we should tell people that Scarlett was born." I chuckled a little bit.

" Oh crap! We forgot to tell people! We have to tell them now!" She shouted then remember that Scarlett was sleeping in her arms.

" Sweetheart, we can call them when we get home and get situated."

" Okay, but I want to tell your parents first."

" What ever you want baby, I'm all for it." I looked at her through the mirror and smirked. She smiled back. The rest of the car ride was quiet, but comfortable. We pulled up to our house about a half an hour later. I helped her out of the car and grabbed the bag. She had Scarlett in her arms still, who to my surprise was still sleeping. We walked away from the car and my arm was around her waist. We went upstairs and lied Scarlett in her crib.

" She looks so peaceful, doesn't she." I said as my arm once again wrapped around her waist.

" She does. I hope she likes us." She looked up at me with worry in her eyes.

" Of course she will. I will be the bad parent that lets her get away with not eating her vegetables and you will be the parent that she comes to with her problems." I smiled at her. She just smiled back.

" Come on, we have some calls to make." She grabbed my hand and led me into our room.
