Thank you to Celticgirl84 for the idea of seven minutes in heaven

Chapter 35

The result showed up on the pregnancy test and Rachel was not pregnant. As soon as Rachel saw this her eyes welled up with tears as she was filled with disappointment. She now realised that actually she really did want to be pregnant with Eddie's baby. Eddie was also upset that the result was negative.

Eddie saw the tears in Rachel's eyes and embraced her into a hug and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Rach, it's going to be okay. Maybe now we've both realised that we do want another baby, so we can start trying."

"Yeah I guess so. But I'm still happy with the children we have. I love you Eddie" Rachel said pulling back and looking into Eddie's eyes

"I love you too" Eddie replied

Their hug was interrupted with a knock at the door.

"Come in" Rachel called whilst wiping away her tears as Chloe walked in

"Mum, you know I love you"

"Yes, what is it you want?"

"How did you know I wanted something?"

"I know everything"

"Well, I was wondering if Em, Denzil and Zach could come over tonight. We were just going to watch a movie or something.

"I don't know if I really feel like it tonight Chlo"

"Mum please, will go in the family room and you won't even know we're there. And they'll all go home by 10."

"What do you think Eddie?"

"I suppose it might give us a bit of peace and quiet" Eddie joked

"Oi!" Chloe said

"Yeah that's true. Okay I don't see why not. We're only having pizza for dinner and I have enough for them all so that's fine."

"Thank you so much" Chloe said before rushing out to text her friends

Rachel went downstairs to check on Lily and Michael, who were sat in the lounge watching a bit of TV. Phoebe was also sat in the lounge cradling Amelia. They all seemed happy so Rachel went and started to make the pizzas.

About an hour later Em, Denzil and Zach arrived. Chloe knew that Em liked Zach, and Zach liked Em but neither of them would admit it so she was going to try and play match maker. Rachel said that they could eat dinner in the family room so they went and sat in there with their pizza and Chloe put a music channel on in the background.

After they'd taken their plates out to the kitchen, knowing that they should do this to make Rachel happy, Chloe was thinking about the best way to get Em and Zach together. In the end she decided on truth and dare. She whispered into Denzil's ear to suggest it as she didn't want to make it too obvious that she was matchmaking.

"Guys, lets play truth or dare, Chloe you first" Denzil said

"Okay, I chose truth"

"Who was your first kiss?" Denzil asked

"Well that's a bit of a stupid one, when you already know the answer. It was you of course" Chloe replied "now it's your turn Zach, truth or dare"

"Urmm, dare" Zach replied

"I dare you to kiss Em"

Em gave Chloe one of her looks, but secretly she was pleased with the dare. Zach was also secretly pleased but also quite nervous as he'd never kissed anyone before. Em, on the other hand had kissed a couple of boys.

Zach leant in for the kiss and Em started kissing back. It wasn't long before the kiss went beyond the usual truth or dare kiss and into a much more passionate one.

After they finished playing truth or dare they put a film on. Em was sat in Zach's lap and Chloe was sat in Denzil's lap.

"Guys, lets play seven minutes in heaven" Em said

"What's that?" Zach asked

"It's where two people go in the cupboard and you have seven minutes to do whatever you want. You two can go first" Em said referring to Chloe and Denzil

Denzil took Chloe's hand and lead her into the cupboard in the family room and closed the door behind them. Em started the timer on her phone. Denzil snaked his hands around Chloe's neck and they started to kiss, gently at first but then becoming more passionate. Chloe started rubbing her hands through Denzil's ruffling it up. Chloe then felt Denzil's hands move down her body slowly ending up on her waist.

The kiss was becoming more and more passionate and all of a sudden Chloe felt Denzil slip his fingers down her shorts and underwear and up inside her. She wasn't expecting this. Her and Denzil had never done anything other than kiss, but now it was happening she thought she was ready.

Rachel walked into the family room as she had made some snacks for them all because she thought they'd all behaved really well.

"Where's Chloe and Denzil?" Rachel asked

"They're in the cupboard" Em replied

Rachel went over and opened the door. Em wanted to stop her but didn't really know how to. It didn't take long for Rachel to work out what was going on and she quickly closed the door again. It was hard to tell who was more embarrassed, Chloe, Denzil or Rachel. Rachel left the snacks for them and quickly went back to the lounge to join Eddie.

Denzil took his fingers out of Chloe as she buried her head into his shoulder.

"Oh my God Denzil, what is she going to say to me? What am I going to say to her?"

"It will be fine, I'm sure she's been there before" Denzil joked

"Denzil I can't believe you would put images like that into my head"

Denzil and Chloe walked out of the cupboard and Chloe quietly explained to Em what had happened. Em felt really sorry for Chloe and wished she could have stopped Rachel walking in on them.

At 10:00pm they all left. Chloe quickly shut the front door and rushed upstairs, not wanting to face her Mum. Rachel heard her go upstairs and left her for a couple of minutes before going to see her. She knocked on the door,

"Chlo it's me, can I come in?"

"Yes" Chloe replied reluctantly

Chloe was sat on her bed in her pyjamas thinking about what had happened. Rachel closed the door and went and sat down next to her.

"I know you're feeling embarrassed about what happened earlier, but I think we need to have a little chat don't you?" Rachel asked

"Mum I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did. Please don't be mad with me"

"Hey, I'm not mad with you. I was 14 once you know?" Rachel replied. Rachel had done much worse things with boys when she was 14.

"You're not?"

"No I'm not. But Chlo, you're not having sex with him are you?"

Chloe felt very embarrassed to be talking about sex with her Mum but knew that it couldn't be avoided.

"No I'm not"

"And you're not thinking about having sex with him?"

"No Mum. I'm not ready to lose my virginity yet. I really really really like Denzil, but I don't know if I want to lose my virginity to him. Maybe in a few years time, but definitely not now."

"Okay, good. Because I don't think you're ready to be taking your relationship to that stage yet. But when you do think that you're ready you will come and talk to me about it first, won't you?"

"Yes"

"Okay, it's probably time you went to sleep now"

"Okay, night Mum, love you"

"Night honey, love you too" Rachel replied placing a kiss on Chloe's forehead before leaving her bedroom

Rachel couldn't help but feel upset at how much her daughter seemed to have grown up in the past few months. Rachel knew she needed to keep a careful eye on Chloe's and Denzil's relationship from now on because she really didn't think her daughter was ready to lose her virginity yet. Although she was pretty sure that Chloe had meant what she said about not being ready yet.
