I had made Clare's favorite dinner, steak with mash potatoes and corn. It was her favorite. I was waiting for her to get home so we could talk about this baby. It's been a month and we have yet to actually talk about it.
Clare came in to the house and took a seat on the couch. Uh-oh she didn't seem too happy. I took a seat next to her. "Babe what's wrong is everythi-"
"Someone knows Eli." cut me off and handed me a letter. I looked at her confused but read the letter anyway.
I know about your secret Clare. Dating a student is not very professional. Especially if that student is Eli Goldsworthy who has a child already. You better watch out. I know your secret now and I can ruin your career as a teacher.
"What the hell? Who wrote this?" I was getting angry and worried. I can't be the reason Clare loses her job as a teacher forever.
"I don't know. It was on the windshield of my car. I can't lose my job Eli but I can't lose you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love you so much I can't lose you."
I forced my lips onto hers kissing her passionately and with as much love as I could.
"Hey who said you're going to lose me? I'm not going anywhere. When we go to school tomorrow we'll just have to be extra careful. I love you and I won't let anything come between us." She smiled and I gave her a peck on the lips. "Now come on I made dinner so we can have a talk."
I grabbed her hand and led her to the table. "Mmm Eli this smells so good." She said sitting down. I wanted to wait and talk about the baby after dinner so we ate dinner just making small talk about things. Once dinner was done I led Clare into the living room to sit on the couch.
"Clare we need to talk about this baby. All I know is that you're pregnant. It is my baby right?" I should probably check to make sure first.
She chuckled a little. "Yes Eli of course the baby is yours. I missed my period last months so I wanted to double check and when I took the pregnancy test it came back positive. I guess right now I'm just not sure what to do. Do you even want to be a dad of 2 already?"
"Of course Clare. But I want to do what you want to do. If you want to keep the baby I will be a good dad. If you want to give it up for adoption I will help you pick the parents but I will not let you have an abortion. I'm sorry that just is not an option." I hope Clare didn't want an abortion.
"Oh no an abortion never even crossed my mind. I'm totally against abortions. So I guess that leaves us with a choice to make. I think I my want to keep this baby but only if you promise to be a supportive father."
"Of course Clare I wouldn't be anything else. I love you and I'll love our baby just as much as I love Frankie." I kissed her again loving the taste of her lips. I pushed her down gently so I was on top of her. I heard her moans as I touched her.
"Come on let's go upstairs."
The next day
It was only 7:30 am. I came with Clare this morning after topping to see Frankie wide awake this early. Students were slowly making their way into the school. My best friend Adam came up to my side while I was walking.
"Hey dude how's Frankie doing?"
"She's doing really well. She's almost made a full recovery and can speak so much more." I was standing at my locker putting my combination in.
"That's great dude how are things with Julia and Fitz? How long they put away?"
I opened my locker and just as I was about to answer him a note fell out of my locker and onto the ground. I reached down to get it so I could read it.
Eli Goldsworthy I know all about you and your secret relationship with Ms. Edwards. Now I could keep my mouth shut and not say a word to anyone about this but I have to get what I want for that to happen. You'll be finding notes for you all around from me telling you what I want. Have fun with Ms. Edwards, while it last.
Who the fuck was this? Adam was looking at me with a concerned face.
"I'll talk to you later Adam I need to go talk to someone." And I stormed off to Clare's Class. When I got there luckily no one was in there yet.
"Eli? Hey what's up?"
I handed her the note and started to pass the room as she read the note.
"Where was this?" she asked as she finished reading.
"It was in my locker. It fell out when I opened it. I don't know who it is but I'm gonna find out."
Students started to enter the class as school was going to begin soon. I smiled to her and told her I would figure this all out because I will. Whoever is messing with me and Clare's relationship is going to get it from me because I love that women and nothing will ever come between us.
Sorry I know this chapter is short but I had to end it where I did for the next chapter to work.
