Need Baby Names Please not too late!
Oliver's POV –
What the hell was going on?
Claire seemed to slip on the rug or something and fall backwards, I moved so I could catch her not for that Crakula but for Amelie. I know that she cares for Claire in a daughter sort of way; unfortunately I do feel the same. As she lands in my arms her breathing increases and she takes a gulp of air "Oliver run!" She screams I stay where I am, why do I need to run? "Oliver run now, go!" She screams fear dripping in her voice, so I run quite far away until I reach a dark corner on the edge of town. I place her down, almost carefully.
"Claire, what the hell is going on?" I demand her heart beat increases and she takes yet another gulp of air. She wraps her hands around her legs and huddles close to the extremely dirty side of the old motel building. "If you're not going to tell me, I will just call Amelie and ask. Are you going to tell me now?" I whisper viscously, all the while knowing I don't have my phone upon Amelie's request.
"No, fine I'll… tell you. You know of my… medical condition?" She asks quivering in silence against the cold, I whip of my jacket and place it round her, and she looks loss for words. I'm not that bad! All I can do is just nod for her to continue. "Well, I was waiting for Myrnin to return and my stomach started to hurt and I don't know what really happened… I couldn't stand the pain for long and then my gums started to bleed and canines grew long and sharp like… like…" She trembled not even able to carry on, I nod in response I know what she was going to say… fangs. But that's impossible she hasn't been turned I would have been able to tell if she had. However everything is impossible, especially the fact that she's pregnant with a hybrid child of that old crocks.
I know what I have to do, but not in front of her of course she might even be able to hurt me if that actually happened. I reach into by pocket and walk to left covering up my phone and dial Amelie, she picks up on the first ring. "Amelie I have Claire, send Myrnin to come and collect her. She fell off the balcony and I caught her. We're at the left hand side of the Rolling Hotel at the edge of town and tell him to hurry." I gawked down the phone; she hung up with a sigh and then almost immediately was in front of us.
"Where is she?" Myrnin keened franticly looking around until he spotted her.
Claire's POV –
"Where is she?" Myrnin keened franticly scattering around until he spotted me cowering in the corner, he started moving towards me. I screamed at that moment I could almost hear his heart breaking, so I pulled myself together forgetting the horrible things that had happened and ran up and hugged Myrnin so hard that if he wasn't a vampire then I would of broke bones. He hugged me make prudently, I don't blame him I did just scream when I saw him. I cried cuddling into his shoulder; he tipped my chin up and whipped away the tears falling "Let's get you to bed." He said swiftly not even giving me a chance to respond because he lifted me up and carried me, bridal style, back to the hotel where I saw the bags already packed and being loaded into the car.
"What's happening?" I yawned snuggling closer to his chest, trying to forget what happened about the day I had, but unfortunately I know that I will have to talk about it on a later date. And I really don't know what to do.
"We have to go back to Morganville; we've been out too long, my little bird. Go to sleep now." He whispered, as I snuggled up closer to him by head lying in on his muscly chest.
And I fell asleep…
###
(Ok this is after the airplane and car rides back to Morganville, because I have already done that so I didn't want to just repeat by self.)
Outside the Glass House – (Oliver and Amelie went home)
"Are you sure you want to go in alone?" He whispered hugging me goodbye and a sweet, tender kiss on the lips, I nodded and braced myself for what was about to happen. Myrnin was gone as I opened the door; Eve, Michael and … Shane were sitting there on the couch.
"Hi strangers." I joked walking past the threshold, to have them jump up at the sudden outburst, Eve ran over and hugged me.
"CB, AH! Your back! How are you, sit down!" That was more of an order than a question, we parted and as soon as I was separated from Eve I had Michael around.
"Hi Claire, you ok?" That was the kind, brotherly Michael I knew. I hugged him hard and separated from him to see Shane standing there looking awkward.
I moved closer and hugged him, he looked taken back for a second yet as I moved back he hugged me back kissing me gently on the cheek. "I've missed you, you know."
"I've missed you too." I whispered in his ear, no doubt that Michael could hear it. Eve shook my arm and I separated from Shane, not able to look him in the eye.
"CB, I've missed you too. It's been empty without you, you had a long trip. Go to bed and you can talk in the morning." And that was the Eve I knew, the mum/best friend, I knew she was right so I turned said night and went up to bed. As I turned to walk up the Eve mouthed to me I need to talk to you! So I nod and walk up to my room and shut the door waiting for Eve to make her entrance. About 3 seconds after Eve and Michael both burst into my room, Eve jumping next to me on the bed and Michael shutting the door and standing closely behind it.
"OK, Claire explain yourself. All I know is your pregers, its Myrnin's and it's impossible." Eve explained like I swear I already did.
"So I'm guessing you told Michael" I said glancing at Michael who looked intrigued and awkward "Ok I told you, there was this thing put on my family or something. I and Shane broke up, me and Myrnin went on a date and we took it slow first, then … and I got attacked by another vamp he saved me. I went to the hospital they told me I'm pregnant. The End."
That was a mouthful; she couldn't even comprehend what he and Eve were thinking. Michael was usually an open book and Eve just told you what she was thinking. Michael was just shacking he's head and Eve was looking quite evil, suddenly Eve was hugging me again. "How old, I mean like how far along?" Eve hushed putting her hands on my stomach, which earned her a weird look from me and Michael.
"I'm not sure about 2 – 3 weeks, I was gone for about 3 weeks so almost a month." I whispered back, I really hoped that Shane couldn't hear me because this was going to be one hell of a conversation. I turned over to see the silent Michael standing in the corner, "What do you think about this?" I really don't know what he was thinking; he just looked like a silent angel on the side lines.
"Well… I'm not entirely sure; if I was you I would tell Shane soon. He isn't going to take this well." Michael carped moving closer so he was standing next to the sitting Eve. Eve finally removed her hands and muttered something, like, no baby kick yet.
"It's not really he's chose, he broke up with me. I've moved on, yeah I admit it was fast but it was about a month. Why would he care anyway? You still haven't said how you feel about this?" I angered about Shane.
"Well I don't think it would be the best thing, but what's done is done and I will be supportive all the way." He whispered sitting down inches away from Eve, he gave me deathly stare.
"I'll tell him soon… After me and Myrnin figure out how, if it will do anything to me. I already know a few things. You know it was a long trip… I should get some sleep." I hushed and they nodded exiting the room.
I fell asleep…
###
It was about 2, 1 am when I heard a low knock at the door. "Claire… Claire are you awake?" I heard from the quiet whispered. I wasn't sure who it was, I was still half asleep.
"Yeah come in." I muttered and the door slowly creaked open, and Shane quietly walked in and stood there quietly. "What's this about Shane?"
"Claire… Claire I made a mistake, I never should have broken up with you. I was just angry and shocked about Alyssa, I still love you." He admitted moving closer and closer sitting next to me on the bed. I was still shocked; I didn't even notice him moving until his lips were against mine for a pure quick second because I moved away.
"Shane… I've moved on, you can't just come in here and assume I'll take you back! You. Broke. Up. With. Me. Remember." I yelled just loud enough for him to move back a bit in shock, however not loud enough for Eve to hear Michael I wasn't sure.
"Claire, I know I'm sorry! … Wait what do you mean you've moved on?" He shouted not even trying to keep his voice down. He stood up glaring at me with a deathly scare. "Common, Claire who you with? Who's better than me?"
"It doesn't matter, all you need to know is that I love him and we're over! Will you please get out of my room, please!" I demanded and he stayed where he was, sighing and breathing evenly.
"Claire, tell me who it is! Now!" He bellowed angrily putting on a pocker face, moving back slamming his fist down on the desk in the corner of the room. When I stayed quiet he yelled again "NOW!" At that moment, Michael was in the room door slamming open.
"You ok, what's going on?" As he said that Eve jumped in the room, yawning in no Goth makeup. They both looked weary and exchanged glances and I gave them a look that said I'm going to tell him, leave'.
"Claire you want to explain?" He growled and Michael and Eve walked out waving a hand behind them and closed the door behind them. I looked back at Shane who looked furious at them slamming his fist down again. "Thanks man, so Claire you going to tell me or not?"
"Fine... it's... its Myrnin." I mumbled not daring to look at him at all. He groaned and shook his head as far as I could tell. "Can you leave now?"
"Myrnin! Myrnin! You left me for that freak, that vampire!" He yelled completely hurt, I almost couldn't resist comforting him, almost. But that all went always when he scattered around the room. "Why? You been cheating on me all this time? I'll forgive this, but you have to come back to me. It's not like you can have a life with him anyway, he'll stay the same age and you'll grow old and die."
He yelled and stumped out the room, when I said nothing.
I lie back down on the bed and fell into a deep slumber, well at least for a little while…
###
Shane's POV –
I am going to kill Myrnin.
He has stolen too much this time, he turned my dad into a brain in a jar, turned my sister into a vampire and now he's stolen my Claire. That was too far. I marched myself out of Claire's room slamming her door shut, I ran down the stairs picking up Eve's car keys and drove to Myrnin's lab or as I like to call it lair.
###
I arrived at that Crackula's lair and stumped down the steps almost falling into the second from the bottom. I slammed open the door and barged in not even bothering to keep quiet. "Yo, come out here now blood-sucker." I yelled at in the dark air, moments later I heard shelves moving and Myrnin coming out standing in front of me.
"What?" He sounded agitated, looking like he was in the middle of something. Like. I. Care. I couldn't stand being in the same room as him, so I punched him. He didn't even seem to notice, stupid vampire strength. "I would rather you didn't do that again." He began and I punched him again and threw a sachet of silver nitrate on him, but he dodged. "I said don't do that, what do you wish to talk about?"
He was suddenly across the room, gesturing for me to take a seat next to him. I decide I would just because it would be easy for me to attack him better. I sat down "so you and Claire, what you do to her?" I whispered spitefully.
"I and Claire are deeply in love." He whispered dreamily, now I really just want to kill him. "That what you want, if you would please leave I have work to do."
I stood up and turned although this time I threw the silver nitrate on him, he wasn't expecting it so it mostly covered him. He screamed in pain and glared at me standing up and grabbing me by the shirt. "I'm going to hurt you very badly if you don't leave now." I shook my head and got my silver stake out of my pocket and held it up to his chest threateningly. "Ok. If you would please remove that stake…"
"Now why would I do that, I could kill you now and Claire could be with me." I chuckled moving the tip of the stake closer into his shirt, if you could call it that.
"Because you know it would just make Claire resent you further."
"I'm willing to take that chance." I laughed moving the stake even closer and closer into his rib cage.
"You wouldn't want to leave a child fatherless would you?" What, what did he mean leave a child fatherless, like what he did when he turned my dad into a machine. What child? He must of realised I didn't know what he was talking about because he continued. "Oh, didn't Claire tell you she carrying my child."
"You're lying… You must be lying, that's impossible." I moved away from him, dropping him and the stake. I backed off and dropped my gaze.
"Oh, yes it is impossible but Claire has always been the one to defeat the impossible. There was this curse on her family and you know when two lips pucker and… Well here we are." I ran out of there and straight home, into my room and slammed the door shut.
I can't believe that she pregnant with his baby…
Claire's POV –
I was asleep for about 5 hours a least, until I was woken up by the vibrations of Myrnin coming through the portal directly into my room at gone 10, did I really sleep that long? "Claire? Waky, waky." Myrnin whispered kneeling down next to my bed, without realising I stuck my arm out and waked Myrnin on the head thinking he was my alarm clock.
"Snooze." I mumbled removing my arm from his head after he yelped. I slowly sat up to see Myrnin standing there at the side of my bed looking quite annoyed, I wonder why? "Hi Myrnin."
"Hello Claire, now would you please explain why you were hitting me." He barked, straightening up and removing the covers from my bed and housing my up though I fought for a moment, I gave up.
"I thought you were my alarm clock, why are you waking me up this early in the morning? You could have called." I snapped trying to move back into bed, but Myrnin stopped me so I gave up on trying.
"Claire, do you realise that it is 10 a clock, we have to run some test and such. Will you please follow me, no need to change." He ordered and walked through the portal. Despite what he said I got ready and brushed my hair, running the straightener throw it a few times. Myrnin popped his head through the portal then pulling me along with him by grabbing my hand. I stepped into the dark rusty lab and couldn't see next to nothing, all the lights were off and Myrnin was nowhere to be seen.
"Myrnin, Myrnin where are you? This isn't funny, turn the lights on now!" I howled trying to get the fear out of my voice which I failed at. I looked around for my bag to get the weapons I have, but then it hit me I didn't bring it. Moments later Myrnin was in front of me kissing me, the lights flickered on to reveal Theo Goldman and his medical kit. I removed my lips from his, obviously nervous and curious "Hello Mr Goldman."
"Hello Claire, I guess you're wondering why I'm here." He smoothed and I nodded and he continued "I have to run some tested on you because of your new condition. If you would please take a seat on the lab table."
I took the seat on the lab table wondering what type of tested they had in mind; I hoped that they weren't any needles. "Mr Goldman what type of tested? Yo don't have to use needles do you?" I sleeked tensing up on the cold, hard table.
"Just the simple once, x-ray, ultrasound test and two maternal serums (blood) tests. Yet first we need to know what affects the baby has had on you, anything different been happening." Theo said, well there have been a few things… I couldn't say it so I glanced at Myrnin pleading for him to speak because he has been awfully quiet.
"She had, when I was away, a slight mishap or break down. When I arrived Claire was lying on the floor scratching her stomach, it was bleeding scratches and cuts all over it. Also she was crying in pain, I think she had fangs coming out of her bleeding gums. That's all isn't it dear?" Myrnin blurted moving further towards me so I was sitting in front of him.
"Thank you for putting it so kindly, but yes I think that's all." I said sarcastically moving a bit back, looking at Theo.
"You said that you were scratching your stomach, lay down I will need to inspect them. They may catch a disease or be harmful to you or your child." He asseverates throwing a few things on to the floor so I could lie down, although first he put down a plastic mat and a pillow. "Ok this might be cold."
"Shouldn't we be doing this in a hospital or something? I'm not sure the lab is the cleanness place." I spattered being almost frozen on the stomach because of the jel or whatever it is on me. Theo looked at me warily and turned to Myrnin.
"They wouldn't be able to understand what it's doing to you, Theo any clue why that happened?"
"Yes I have a theory, I think that the baby is half turning young Claire here. This is due to the fact of Claire's body it isn't, wasn't compatible with the foetus. You may experience some vampric like features, such as fangs, red eyes, strength and speed. I doubt that you will require blood; on to a different note have you decided on names?" Theo concluded and wiped the jel of my stomach, I hadn't really thought about names. Dammit I haven't told my parents yet!
"Damn, damn, damn! I need to go?" I snapped sitting up on the table, while pulling down my shirt.
"Claire what's wrong? Where do you need to go?" Myrnin asked moving in front of me, stopping me from exiting.
"I have to tell my parents, when I do you might want to hide. Damn!" I shuffled trying to move out of his way; Theo exited with a wave to Myrnin and the second he left Myrnin's lips were against mine. It was sweet and passionate; regretfully I had to break the kiss because I needed to breath. "This isn't going to detract me, I really need to go!"
"Well, then I will have to come to let us take the portal." He said buttoning up his shirt, which I don't remember doing but I'm guessing it was me. I look down and I'm in my shirt is undone as well, unmistakably Myrnin's work. I walk through the open portal behind Myrnin and enter my parents' house. "Hello Mr and Mrs Danvers, is it ok if me and little Claire have a word with you for a moment."
"Oh... Ok please sit down; would you like a cup of tea?" That was mum I moved out from behind Myrnin, and sat down he soon followed. Across from the small coffee table was my dad sitting there reading a newspaper the 'Oblivious times' or something.
"Dad, mum I need to talk to you. Please sit down; ok I have two things to tell you." I stuttered as mum came in and sat down, dad put the newspaper down and looked at both me and Myrnin eying us both up and down. "Ok I and Shane broke up."
They could at least try to hide their excitement; they both let out a sigh of relief. "Oh honey, are you ok?" Mum giggled in a typical mum fashion. "You know we will be here for you all the way."
"Mum, that was a long time ago but that wasn't what we wanted to tell you." I breathed I could see them both going pale. "Um… Well… You see…"
"Claire and I are courting and while we were away Claire got pregnant." Myrnin said bluntly placing his hand on mine entwining his fingers with mine for reassurance. Mum hugged me saying things like Honey that's great news and Are you ok, we support you all the way. Wow mum was supportive and dad, well dad looked think he'd just seen a ghost. He was in shock.
"Dad, are you ok? Dad, you in there?" I whispered in the thin air. "I think we should leave, bye love you" I stood up and Myrnin followed I waved goodbye and as I left dad stuttered.
"You have my blessing Myrnin, don't miss trust that." Myrnin nodded and followed me out. Once we were in the lab I took a long, deep breath that I didn't know I was holding.
"Well that went well, you o-" I was stopped in mid-sentence because Myrnin kissed me more passionately than ever before. Myrnin picked me up from my legs and used super speed into his bedroom, laying us down on the bed and … (imagination…)
###
"I love you." Myrnin whispered to me, slowly creasing my cheek.
"I love you too." I whispered back, he looked fantastic, his hair in black bouncy curls, his eyes a dark hazel seeping through me and his plump, kissable lips.
"What about Kim? For the baby if it's a girl." He suggested caringly stroking the small spot on my stomach, I hate the name Kim.
"No way in hell, too many bad memories."
"Britney."
"Troubled pop star, who use to do drugs and shaved her head, no."
"Alyssa."
"SHANE'S SISTER, NO WAY!"
"Amelie."
"Too much to live up to, plus one Amelie is all we need."
"Phoebe."
"I like that name but it's my cousin's name, and that would be awkward. I haven't seen her in a while remind me to call her; she's like a best friend to me."
"Caitlin."
"No way that's the name of this girl in my old school, who was a total nut job. She looks weird, lies and 'apparently' tried to kill herself." (Private joke = Remind you of anyone)
"Ada. No even I know that's a bad idea."
"Well how about a kind of unique name. Like Midnight, Eclipse, Mercy, Scarlet, Thorne, Spirit, Innocent, Mystery for a girl. Edward, Charles, Edwin, Jasper, for a boy."
"We'll all good suggestions, let's get back to it at a later date shall we. You look beautiful, glowing. Do you really want to annoy Oliver?" He whispered slyly, and I nodded "Let's say when someone asks that the baby is going to be called Oliver, oh, he isn't going to like that is he."
"No he is not, so what are we going to do for the rest of the day? Something to do with science preferably." I stated seating up getting dressed, into the clothes I had brought with me for overnight stays when we got back. Myrnin started nuzzling at my neck stopping me from getting up "No come on time to get ready work time."
That stopped him slightly but he tried to continue, so I jumped up and finished getting ready. I walked out into the lab and sat down reading a book, Myrnin walked in fully dressed well at least as much as Myrnin can be. He was wearing a red silk Edwardian shirt completely unbuttoned, a black waist coat, and black very skinny trousers and of course bunny slippers with fangs; can't forget the fangs. I tried to suppress a laugh, but it was too much bunny slippers were just funny on their own but the fangs and pinkness were just too much even if I had seen them on before. "Anything funny Claire?" He said all not to happy, someone's in a mood.
"No, no nothing at all. So what are we doing today?" I asked trying to get science on the brain, don't want to fall behind. What am I going to do about school? No way am I going to miss that.
"Not sure is there any experiments you would like to start?"
"There is one; I was reading this book 'The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod' and most of the vampires in the book used sun block to stay safe from the sun. I was wondering if it was possible to create one strong enough to let vampires stay out longer even once as young as Michael. What you think?" I said quite interested in the idea of letting Michael stay out longer…
What was I going to do?

I hope you enjoyed this story, it's the longest I have every written for Fan fiction. In the next chapter the plot is really going to kit into action because I have been planning it for so, so, so long.
5 Reviews = Update (And this time I mean it, no new chapter until reviews)
*Spoiler* Ok was it just me or in Black Dawn did Myrnin almost confess his love a few times.
Example A:
"I can't." He said softly. "Not until you understand that I did not want him dead. In no way is that true. I believed he was dead already, and I tried to spare you the pain –"
"Shut up. Just shut up and get out of my way."
"No!" In a shocking fast move, he backed her against the wall, hands braced on either side of her head as he leant in on her. (Getting a bit close there aren't we) "You know me, Claire. Do you believe me so petty, so… pathetic (HE LOVES YOU, KISS HIM!) that I would do this for selfish personal reasons? (What reasons would that be, HE. LOVES. YOU.)
Example B:
"You'll have a rare honour, Claire. You will be one of us. Few deserve it more. It is the highest compliment I can give. And it will please Myrnin as well." (And why would that be)
Example C:
"Bob would be very disappointed in you."
"Bob the spider?"
"He looks at you like a mother, you know. I'm surprise at your lack of work ethic. Think of the example you set for –"
So Claire is mummy and Myrnin is daddy, so Mummy + Daddy = Love. So he thinks of her as a wife possibly, yeah!
The part where Myrnin died I cried my eyes out then I whispered to myself It's not real, it's not real. It's just a dream. Thank God it was!
When Richard died I was just thinking just turn him now, Michael. It's an order! I cried and dedicated 'The Call – Regina Spector' to Richard. I don't think its Claire's fought at all it's the stupid Draugs and Amelie's for giving Claire the bracelet.
I met Rachel Caine and she loved my Team Myrnin bag!
