Eli's POV
I was ready to smack her. What the hell was Janine's problem? Why was she here? Janine smiled at me, her lipstick almost making me sick. She had on eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara. She was wearing a short halter top red dress. It was like she was going to see a movie star, not me. "Elijah." She purred. I rolled my eyes. "You know what, Janine? You could have saved yourself all that make up, you still look disgusting. Get the hell off my porch." I told her, putting as much venom into my words as possible. She batted her eyelashes and said "Oh, Elijah, don't be so defensive. You know you'd love to be with me. Your wife is so boring. Please, you could have so much adventure with me." She moved closer towards me and quickly wrapped my arms around my neck.
She pressed her lips to mine as I desperately shoved her away. I made aloud muffled noise and pushed her. She was shoved backwards, and almost fell in her stilettos. I glared at her. "Listen, you desperate piece of trash. I love Clare more than anything. I love my child more than anything. Clare is the only woman I want. I've never hit a woman before in my life, and you're pushing it. Stop harassing me and my family or I'll sue you for sexual harassment and assault. Get the hell away from me and Clare." Janine looked like she got slapped. She looked at me like I was a Martian, and then slowly backed away. "You're a jerk. You're passing up a hell of an opportunity." She said. I rolled my eyes. "You know what Janine? I'll go out with you when Hell freezes over." I slammed the door in her face and watched through the window as she walked towards her car, got in the front seat and drove away crying. I turned around to see Clare standing there, smiling at me. She was smiling? "I've been over there the whole time," she said, "gesturing to the steps. "That was really great of you, Eli." She murmured. Her voice had changed, it was rugged. Sexier. She moved towards me and wrapped her arms around my neck. She kissed my face over and over and then slowly kissed my lips.
I thought I had died and gone to Heaven whenever she started pulling at my pants. I grinned and kissed her. We ran up the steps, and I stopped for a minute. "What's wrong?" Clare asked. "I can do it now." I smiled at her words but said "Let me check on Jade first. Hurry up, get undressed." I said to her, my voice like velvet. I quickly went into Jade's room and gazed into her crib. She had Clare's shape of face, and dark eyebrows. Her eyes were exactly my color, and she had Clare's perfect pale skin. He lips were the colors of roses, and shaped just like Clare's were. Her cheeks had a slight blush. She had a few locks of very soft babyish hair on her head, the same shade as mine. Her body was so small, the size of a slipper. I leaned down and kissed her soft skin. I grinned, and ran into the room of my other love, preparing to rock her world.
*The next morning*
I woke up just in time to see Clare walk out of the room, fastening her robe on. I had slept my first full night since Jade was born, and it felt pretty good. I gently got up with her as she went in to feed Jade. "How many times have you been up?" I asked Clare as I went into Jade's room, yawning. "Three." Clare said. She smiled at me, blushing. "Thanks so much for last night, Eli." I smiled contently to myself. "My pleasure." I grinned. Last night had been Heaven on Earth, and that was putting it mildly. I asked Clare if she wanted breakfast, and she nodded. I went downstairs and made pancakes. My wife deserved something better than eggs this morning. Clare came downstairs, burping the baby on her shoulder. She smiled whenever she saw the feast I'd made her. She handed Jade to me, and I held her against me. I kissed the top of her head and she made that wheezing giggle noise again. I gently wiped the spit off of her lips with my shirt. I looked up to see Clare smiling at me "You're such a great dad." She told me. "Yes," I said, "I am."
A few minutes after Clare was done eating, my cell phone rang. I flipped it open and held it to my ear. I didn't even need to say hello before Adam's excited voice was in my ear. "Tracy's having the baby!" he said, excited. Tracy, the young girl they were adopting their daughter from had apparently gone into labor. "That's great, man!" I said. "Little machismo is finally going to be a baby daddy huh?" "Hell yeah, man! It's about time, too! Fiona wants you to come over right now, the baby's going to be born any minute! Bring Clare, you two are the godparents! Got to go, man, Tracy's pushing!" The phone hung up and Clare looked at me. "Tracy's having the baby, Adam wants us to go over there now." Clare's eyes widened and she smiled. "Yeah, c'mon, let's go." She ran upstairs to change as I put Jade into a blue onesie. I was putting Jade into her car seat as Clare ran out and got into Morty's passenger side. We drove to the hospital quickly, barely following the speed limit.
Whenever we walked into the hospital with me carrying Jade in her carrier, Janine came up to us. Me and Clare both stiffened, and my fist rolled into a ball. She looked very sad and she mumbled something. "What was that, Janine? I couldn't' hear you." Clare said heartlessly. I looked at my blue eyes. Wow, when did she get pissed and still manage to be so sexy? "I just said I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing; I'd taken some pills and drank a little before. I'm sorry." Janine walked away after her confession, and I just nodded stiffly. We raced into where Adam and Fiona sat, cuddling their baby. Adam and Fiona looked up whenever we walked in, tears running down their faces. Clare ran over and hugged Fiona and I quickly gave Adam a man hug. They were both looking down at their child who was wrapped in a pink blanket. She was tiny, with dark eyebrows and light peach fuzz hair. She had chubby cheeks, like Jade but was sleeping so I couldn't tell her eye color. "This is Nevaeh." Fiona murmured. "Heaven spelled backwards." Adam explained, his eyes not leaving his child. "Nevaeh Isabella Torres." Fiona murmured. And we all sat there, looking at our children, Heaven and Light, Nevaeh and Jade.
