Chapter 14

Clare's POV

"When do you want to start looking at houses?" I asked, laying on my bed. "I dunno. Don't you think it would be best if we told our parents, or Fiona and Adam?" He said, rolling onto his side to face me and placing a gentle hand on my stomach. "Yea, maybe we should start with going to the hospital." I said, just to be sure.

"Okay. Baby, whatever you want." Eli said. "Do you want me to go make an appointment?" "Yes, please." I said, as Eli got up out of bed. "Where is the home phone at, Clare?" He asked. Obviousley not used to the set up of MY house yet. "Ummm, why dont you use your cell phone?" I asked him. "I left the charger at my house, and I haven't been back over there in a few days..." He admitted. I had forgotten... We had spent all of our time thinking about me and the Baby... We had forgotten about other stuff. "Oh... i think it is downstairs.. by the door... or on the couch... wait... it wasn't on the couch... Kitchen... that's where it is... the kitchcen..." I said. Eli looked at me, obviousley very confused. "Oh just look in the kitchen." I said, waving my hand.

"Okay... if you say so." Eli said, waving his hand lazily and walking down the hallway, the opposite way of the stairs. About thirty seconds later, he was walking back down the hall, stopping at my door. "...Wrong way..." He said... I didn't see him... i was already turned around and looking for some clothes to put on, but i could hear a smile on his face. When i turned around... i found out i was right. There it was. His perfect smile. The smile that melts me. "Just go find the phone," I said.

It was about another fifteen minuites before Eli returend with the house phone. I thought he would never return. "Did you call yet?" I asked him. He stared at me for the slightest second and gave me that goofy grin. "No, I was going to in like... ten seconds so hold your beautiful horses. You will get an appointment." He said, crossing the room and going right passed my bed, going to the dresser."What are you doing?" I asked him. "Putting on a shirt... it is cold." Eli said. What was today's date?

"Eli, What is today?" I asked... thinking. "October seventh... why?" Maybe he did have a reason to be cold. Well i wasn't cold. "Oh just wondering." I felt a sneeze coming on. I turned away from Eli and held my nose, but the sneeze never same.
Oh well. "Do you want me to call the hospital now?" Eli said, sitting down beside me on the bed. "Yes. Duh." I said. Sometimes Eli can be such an idiot and it gets on my fucking nerves... "calm down Clare" I told myself. Hormones. Damn. This is going to suck.

"okay i am on it."Eli said, dialing the phone. "Hello, yes, i would like to make an appointment for Clare Edwards." Eli spoke into the phone, The grin on his face had to be obvious to the secretary on the other end of the line. "She thinks she is pregnant." He said, standing now. "
Okay, that will be fine, alright, bye." Eli spoke with a smile in his voice, and from ear to ear on his face. "We have an appointment for tomorrow morining at around eifght thirty." He said, benidng down to kiss me. I closed my eyes, and slightly leaned. About the time Eli was an inch from my mouth, That sneeze was back "ACHOOOOO!" I let out a sneeze. When i looked up, Eli was wiping off his face. "Bless you." Eli said, with a seriousness that had not been there only seconds ago.

"I am so sorry." I said. He looked at me with his deep emerald eyes, and i knew it was okay, he didn't have to say it. He sat on the bed and pulled me into a hug. "Do you want to call the real estate office?" I asked, pulling slightly away, and turning to where i could see him. "Maybe in a little bit. Honey, we need to tackle these things one at a time. We do too much, we arent superman you know." He said, putting me back against his chest. I could feel his body heat through his shirt.

This was going to be hard. But it was going to be with Eli.
