Okay guys I'm back. I've read my reviews and can't believe how supportive you all have been and want me to continue this story. It makes me feel great. Sorry I've not updated in 2 years. Just got busy with trying to finish school and moving. But I'm hoping to finish this story and continue it. So here we chapter 10 is now up.
Chapter 10
Hormones and Cravings
I'm now in my second trimester and 4 months along in my pregnancy. The morning sickness has stopped finally. I have finally developed a baby bump. Shane and I have started working on the nursery getting it ready for the twins. We go in a couple of weeks to find out the sex of the babies. We're hoping for one of each cause that would be perfect. But we really don't care as long as they are happy and healthy. I was sitting on the couch with my housemates watching a movie when my food cravings started to kick. My cravings have been out of this world one being I've developed a major craving for sex in the last month. It seems that I just can't get enough of Shane. But that's a whole other story.
"I'm hungry" I blurted out, still keeping my eyes on the TV.
My two bestfriends and boyfriend looking at me. Eve answering "Again, jeez Claire Bear you only ate an hour ago."
"I'm eating for three here. Give me a break." I started to get defensive. Have I mentioned that my hormones are also out of control. It seems that everything upsets me now.
Eve rolling her eyes at me and said "At this rate you'll be eating everything in sight. I get it that you're hungry and trying to keep the babies healthy but damn it seems that every time we turn around you need to eat."
I was kind of hurt at what she said to me and started to tear up some. Stupid hormones, have I always been this sensitive? Shane was rubbing my back trying to calm me down and not stress myself out. Apparently I'm a high risk pregnancy because I'm small and having twins so the doctor wants everything to go as smoothly as possible.
Shane getting upset with Eve, "Leave her alone Eve. You know she can't have any stress on her so stop picking on her."
"I'm not picking on her, I was joking. She's the one being all emotional," said my bestfriend.
With that I got up and ran upstairs to mine and Shane's room. I sat on the bed and started to cry. I heard Shane yelling at Eve. I really didn't understand why she was being this way.
"What the hell Eve, what is your problem? All she said was that she was hungry and you have to give her shit about it?" Shane was really yelling now.
Eve yelling back "Well it's not my fault she is being so emotional all the time."
"She's pregnant Eve. I don't get why you're being such a bitch towards Claire."
They went on yelling at each other for a while. The strange part was that not once did I hear Michael telling them to stop or coming to Eve's defense like he always did when her and Shane always got into it. I couldn't take the yelling anymore so I walked out of my room, out into the hall, slid the picture on the wall aside and hit them button. As soon as the door opened I went up the stairs and closed the door behind me. I laid down on the couch and started to cry. My mind was all over the place and couldn't think straight.
I most have fell asleep at some point because I was being gently woken up by a familiar voice.
"Hey sleeping beauty" Shane said running his had up and down my arm.
I gave him a small smile and stared back at him gazing into those beautiful dark brown eyes that I always found myself getting lost in.
"Hey," I replied back in a soft voice
Cupping my face, "What are doing up here?"
"Needed some peace and quiet. Too much yelling going on and needed some time to think."
"I'm sorry about that baby. I just don't know what her problem is and I didn't mean to upset you. I don't want any stress on you or the babies." Shane told me as he lifted me up from the couch and sat down next me so I could snuggle up to his side.
"It's not your fault Shane. I'm just being emotional and over sensitive."
"That's nothing to be ashamed or sorry for. There's just something going on with Eve. Michael doesn't even know."
I just nodded and snuggled in deeper to Shane's side. "Shane I've been thinking."
"About what babe?"
"Maybe it's time for us to find our own place. We're going to be parents and a family soon. I feel like it's time for us to be on our own and have our own house. We can't stay here forever."
Shane was really quite now, I wonder what he was thinking. I was about to ask when he finally answered, "How long have you been thinking about this, because I've been thinking the same thing too."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean sooner or later it's going to get crowded. I know they want to help but I feel like we should be doing this on our own."
I fell more in love with Shane tonight. I can't believe he feels the same way as me. I was so happy I started crying. I leaned forward and hugged him. After a few minutes I drew back and to look at him. He leaned forward and gave me a light kiss.
"We're gonna have to tell them soon though, but not tonight." I told him
He nodded agreeing with me. Just them my stomach grumbled. Shane let out a little chuckle. "Let's go get you something to eat. What are hungry for?"
Smiling I said "Chicken wings with spicy BBQ sauce, chocolate coved potato chips, pickles and strawberry ice cream, oh and pizza rolls dipped in mustard." Yes I have weird food cravings.
Shane just laughed and pulled me up, "I think that can be arranged" as he opened up the door and walked me downstairs.
We went into the kitchen and I sat down at the table as Shane started to pull all my request out of the fridge. He threw the pizza rolls in the oven and the chicken wings in the microwave. Once everything was done I indulged myself in spiciness and sweets. Once I was done I went upstairs and took a shower. I finished and walked back to my room and crawled in bed with Shane who was already there waiting for me. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep with only one thing on my mind. How are we going to tell Michael and Eve about wanting to move out?
Okay please tell me what you think. Give me at least 3 reviews and I'll put up another chapter. What was Eve's problem? Why is she being mean to Claire? We'll find out soon and something drastic will happen to one of the members of the glass house later on in the story. Plus we'll find out the sex of the babies.
