It's sad this story is finally to the end. ):

I hope this chapter is good for a final one. Thank you guys so much for sticking to this story till the end. (:

Eli's POV.

So it's been exactly 4 days since I was brought into the hospital, it's not that much fun here. I've skyped with Clare a lot well for 2 day but then she was released so she's been chilling in this plain white room with me as much as she can.

I don't completely look like shit anymore, thank god for that. Adam is always stopping in at random times to see how Clare and I are doing.

I've been slowly getting my strength back, I've been questioned intensely by the doctors and the officers. I told them the same story, the truth.

They still don't understand how I just miraculous came back after suffering that beating and had been left in the tunnel for day, the doctors told me I should have been dead but somehow I'm not.

Only Clare and Adam know how I came back, I told them everything that happened with Julia and my grand mom though I didn't tell them about the scenarios that had been shown to me.

I'll be released from this place in 2 days thank god, I can't even imagine how going back to school is going to be. Leaving Clare is gonna tear me apart even more, am I ready to leave?

I felt Clare stir next to me and rotate her body so she was looking at me, her blue orbs were staring straight into my soul. That feeling sent a shiver down my spine, apparently Clare had noticed that.

"Are you cold?" She said concerned. Her hands reacted for the blanket that was laying on her and placed it on my body.

I smirked, "Clare, Clare I'm fine trust me. I want you to be warm." I leaned down and placed a small kiss on her perfectly soft lips.

Her hand was lowered so it was placed right on my chest, as small smile appeared on her face. I raised my eyebrows at the adorable girl in my arms.

"Your heart has a weird rhythm to it, it's comforting in a weird way." She giggled while lifting her head up to look me in the eyes.

This girl is my everything, that look she gives me just make my heart melt. The only reason I'm here is cause she never gave up on me and gave me a reason to hold on for so long.

I look at her, my eyes went from her lips to her eyes. "I love you so much Clare."

The Scarlett rose on her cheeks, her blush was so cute I loved having this effect on her. I felt so empowered by that.

I didn't realize anyone had walked into my room until a heard an 'awww' in the direction towards the door, my mom always awed when she saw Clare and I doing something cute.

She pulled out her camera and snapped a picture of us, why does she keep carrying that thing around?

"I will never get over how cute you two are," Mom cooed about us, now I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Oh shush up mom," I whispered to her. Clare again giggled and turn to talk to CeCe, I didn't really listen into their conversation it was probably about some girl stuff that I didn't want to talk about. Where was Bullfrog?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a whimper next to me, I immediately turned to see Clare clenching her stomach.

I looked at her trying to figure out what to do, "Clare, sweetie what's wrong?" Her face looked like she was in pain.

I pulled her to me, stroking her hair trying to soothe her but that didn't seem to be working.

"Eli let me go, I'm about to be sick." Clare bolted out of the hospital bed as soon as I released her from my arms she jetted into the bathroom bringing up anything that was in her.

I tried to get up to help her but CeCe pushed me back down and gave me a stern look, she hopped out of the chair and went into the bathroom to help Clare.

This time I decided to listen to their conversation, "Hey Clare you eat anything bad recently?" I saw from the mirror Clare shake her head.

"Have these pains and the nausea been happening a lot recently?" The look on Clare's face told me she had to think about this a little bit.

"They've been pretty much every other day but it quickly fades away" My mom looked shocked to say the least, and Clare just look confused.

CeCe whispered something to Clare and her eyes just widened, I saw Clare mouth a no to my mom. What'd my mom just ask her? Is Clare okay?

Clare threw up one more time before she sat up again and cleaned herself up. My mom walked out and told me she'd be back in a few minutes.

Clare walked back into the room and hopped back up onto the bed with me, I stroked her arm up and down and she just relaxed into my embrace. She was concentrating really hard on something, I didn't want to break her out of her thoughts but I was curious on what my mom had told her.

"Hey Blue-Eyes what did my mom whisper to you that you got panicked over?" I mumbled in her ear.

Her breath hitched and I could tell she didn't want to talk about it yet, "I promise I will tell you soon okay?" I just nodded my head and she went back to just laying on me.

This truly was the best thing in the world just having her herein my arms us just being with each other and happy.

Not 10 minutes later my mom walked in with a bag from the grocery store down the street, "Clare come on." She ushered Clare. Clare walked out to the bathroom and they shut the door so I couldn't see what was going on, darn it.

I heard muffles and someone going to the bathroom, my suspicions were starting to rise and I didn't like that one bit.

After away they both stopped talking and everything was just silent, "Oh my god.." I heard Clare mumbled it almost sounded like she was crying.

"Clare? Baby are you okay?" I heard sniffles and she yelled back a yeah!

'What are they keeping from me?' The thoughts swarmed around my head.

The door to the bathroom soon swung open and out walked Clare and my mom, CeCe was rubbing Clare's back while Clare was just looking at the ground.

She finally glanced up at me and her eyes were bloodshot and her cheeks were very very puffy. That sight pretty much broke my heart.

"I'll leave you two alone," My mom whispered to us. She placed a kiss on Clare's forehead and then she walked to my bed and did the same to me.

I turned to Clare after I heard the door shut, I raised my eye brows at her and used my eyes to beg her to tell me what was wrong.

She slowly approached the bed and I reached for my hand, gently pulling me off the bed.

She helped me get to the bathroom and when I looked into the sink I'm sure the color drained from my face. I turned to look at her and more tears started to fall down her cheeks.

There is no way this is happening, my sweet Clare is pregnant? She's going to be having my baby?

Even though it's a bad time and all, I can't help but fell excited.I turned to her and just smiled she looked torn between being happy and being scared.

I took her hands in mine, "Clare even though this isn't the best time for a baby me being a college you being a senior and just all that happened I can't wait for you to have this baby. It's our baby, this is so exciting!" I must have sounds like a giddy school girl when I said that cause Clare start laughing through her tears.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and just smiled. "I'm scared" She murmured into my neck, sending tingles against my neck.

"Me too." I saw a flash and turned to see my mom with that damn camera but still the smile was on my face.

(2 days later)

My mom had finally signed the release papers and I was free to leave. I was gonna be at home for a week before I could return back to school which honestly I didn't want too. Maybe I could move to a college closer to Clare and the baby even though she might complain that it's ridiculous it's what I might have to do and get a job too.

I walked out of the hospital doors holding Clare's hand and my moms arm around my shoulders. I was truly happy.

I can't wait to go home and just lay in my bed and just hold Clare. We hopped into my moms car, the ride was fairly quiet aside from my mom and me humming to the songs that came onto the radio.

Pulling up the house brought another round of happy feelings through my body, I just couldn't keep this smile off my face. Everything was looking up from here.

I opened the door for Clare grabbed her hand and walked up the steps. The door was unlocked so we just walked in I put down my bags down and just breathed everything in.

I turned to Clare and she just had her eyes closed.

"Hey Baby Boy I'm going to visit your dad at the station he's getting lonely." She kissed both our cheeks and closed the door behind her.

This time Clare led the way up the stairs to my bedroom, I yanked the lock off that didn't need to be there anymore. I opened the door to my almost De-cluttered room thanks to Clare, Adam and my parents for that.

We laid down on the bed and just looked up to my ceiling that was painted to represent the look of the sky and the clouds.

Clare was gently rubbing her stomach absentmindedly. I pulled her close to me and placed my hands over hers as she rubbed her tummy.

"I'm hungry," She blurted out randomly. She immediately started to blush when I started to laugh.

Oh yeah she's pregnant.

"Well then my lady lets go feed you and the baby." She giggled and bounced off the bed to the door and to the kitchen in a matter of 10 seconds.

I shook my head at her cuteness, I eventually got off the bed and walked to the kitchen. Clare was sitting on the counter swinging her legs, humming some random song.

I started to get everything to make my famous lasagna, when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Start right here, I got it. Could you keep stirring the beef around?" I asked Clare. She hopped down and when to the stove.

I walked down the hallway to the door when I opened the door I was shocked to say the least there on porch were black rose petals scattered around with a vase of bright red roses in the middle of the porch.

I picked them and just looked everything over, I pulled the card out of the bouquet and read it over and over.

'Eli,

Congrats on your little miracle, Me and your Nana will be watching

Over your little family. That baby is blessed to have great parents like you and Clare.

You don't know how happy we are up here.

Don't screw this up or I will give you an awful beating!

(: Love you Elijah.

-Julia and Nana.

I smiled up to the sky and mumbled thank you. I heard footsteps behind me Clare appeared.

She saw the black roses then the vase of red ones and I handed her the note, a smile crept up her face and she crushed her lips to mine and the moment was pure bliss.

Clare took the roses out of my hands and wrapped her arm around my waist while my arm went around her shoulder, leaning down I kissed her nose and just smiled.

I was ready for everything life has ahead of me, I won't put life on hold anymore I know now it doesn't wait for anyone. The roses are symbol of the life ahead of me very bright.

That's the end of Roses. ):
