Author's Note: So, this chapter will have a surprise for Eli! And not a bad one. Because I love him so much. Let's just say that zeldaskeeper is probably psychic. I'm currently watching Degrassi Better off Alone part 1 because it's on teennick. Defiantly a very good Eli episode! It's good for making me want to write more. So is the song "Suburbia" by Juice Monkey, aka the song playing while the contest for Dead Hand concert tickets is going on, where Eli bobs his head in such an adorable way. This chapter may also have some Alli drama, but if not, that will be in the next chapter for sure if its not this one. Zeldaskeeper is my favorite because they review so often!

Chapter 10

Eli's POV

Oh Lord, what could my dad's "surprise" be? If we're moving again I will refuse to leave with them. I finally have friends, and an almost girlfriend. But moving would be bad news, and he put a smiley face… I don't know what it could be. I was home, but afraid to get out of Morty. But the surprise might be something awesome, so I should get it over with anyway.

"There you are Eli! Come inside honey! We have big news." My mom sounded excited. It couldn't be too bad then, so I went inside. Both of my parents were beaming.

"Sweetie, you're going to be a big brother!"

"Wait mom, you're pregnant? That's great!" I was serious too, I love kids! But wow…it was still a shock.

"Yes! I suspected that I was pregnant a few months ago, but I didn't really check until today. I'm 2 months in!"

"Aw mom, dad, I'm so happy for you! I've got lots of homework, so you guys have fun celebrating" I went up to my room. I had to text Clare.

Eli: Clare! I'm gonna b a big brother!

Clare: No way! So awesome, xoxo

I guess I had nothing to worry about in the first place.

The next day, Adam's POV

Drew and I got to school kind of early, before Eli or Clare, and since I didn't want to wander the halls alone, I stayed with him. He was talking to Clare's friend, his current make out buddy. Then Eli walked over, very excited.

"Dude! Two pieces of good news. One, I'm gonna be a big brother! And two, Clare and I kissed again."

"Dang! Go Eli! Three times man!" I high fived him. After I said "three times", Alli looked terribly confused.

"Wait, you and Clare have kissed? THREE TIMES?"

"Uh yeah, we have…she didn't tell you?" Alli looked pissed off.

"No. As a matter of fact, she did not. I can't believer her! Ugh!" With that, she stomped off. Eli panicked, he didn't want Clare to be mad.

"Man! I thought she would have known! They just made up, now they're going to fight again, aren't they." He was scared.

Clare's POV

"CLARE EDWARDS." My head spun around to an angry looking Alli. Must be more Drew troubles.

"What's up Alli?"

"Don't you 'what's up Alli' me! How could you keep this from me! Your boyfriend told me all about you two kissing. THREE TIMES. I mean, I could understand if it just happened and you didn't tell me yet. But THREE TIMES, SERIOUSLY CLARE? YOU DON'T TRUST ME?"

"Alli! First off, he's not my boyfriend. Second, we've both been busy! I haven't even seen you since it happened. I would have told you! I just had so much going on. I mean, I barely believed it myself!"

"So you guys aren't like official yet?"

"No! If we ever were, I would call you up screaming, and you know it."

"Aw, that's so sweet! I'm sorry I spazzed out…it's just I thought you were keeping this from me on purpose or something…"

I honestly didn't keep it from her on purpose, it just never crossed my mind to tell her. I know I'm not a very good friend, but I didn't want to be fighting with her again so I had to make up a little white lie. Then I saw Eli.

Eli's POV

Clare was standing with Alli and neither looked upset, so I don't think they're fighting. I'd feel terrible if I caused the fight.

"Oh look, here comes your boyfriend"

Hmm. Boyfriend? I like the sound of that…

"He's not my boyfriend Alli!" I had to put in my two cents for this conversation.

"Aw man, I was getting my hopes up for no reason"

"Oh shut up Eli. So how does it feel to be an almost big brother?"

"Awesome actually. Time for class though…but first, Alli, could you leave us alone for a sec?" Alli would probably think I just wanted to make out with Clare or something, but I had to ask her something. A special something. Alli walked away and Clare looked nervous.

"So Clare, will you, uh, be my girlfriend?" She answered almost too quickly, which made me smile.

"Yes!" I gave her a quick kiss and walked away.

Elijah Goldsworthy, you've got yourself a girlfriend. Never thought that would happen, eh?

Clare's POV

I'm officially dating Eli Goldsworthy. Good thing I've got my first class with Alli because she would be so mad if I didn't tell her right away.

"So now I can say 'here comes your boyfriend' without getting hit, because your official, right?"

"Yes Alli, I know you've been dying for that. Can you believe I'm dating Eli Goldsworthy?"

"I knew it would happen, Clare Bear! You two are just SO cute."

Adam's POV

As I was about to walk into my first period class, Eli grabbed my arm.

"What's wrong with you man?"

"DUDE, SHE SAID YES." That's all he said, then he started almost running, and he jumped up in the air. Not something I'd expect Eli to do. I didn't even realize what he meant by this. 'She said yes.' She probably meant Clare…

OH MY GOD, ELI FINALLY ASKED HER.

Author's Note: So, did you like the surprise? I didn't want it to be like "we're moving" or "we're divorcing" or anything that would take Eli out of the story or something. Now I have a serious question. Does anyone else have a serious fangirl moment when Eli says "Ouch!" or when he does that half smile when he's still standing up against the pole on the street? Cause I sure do. Next chapter, I'm thinking maybe some sort of jealousy? I'm not sure, what do you guys think? Review please! And this will probably be the last for today, but you never know! And I will be updating frequently tomorrow because I'll be sitting having nothing else to do. I love you guuuuys! Reviews please :D
