Just as I thought everything was going great I got another letter, it was pretty much the same as the last one and I wasn't exactly impressed. She said that she's coming to see me because we need to talk but I don't want to talk to her, I don't even want to see her again. Apart from that little mishap everythings going fine. We went for a scan the other day and it was great to see my baby moving around inside Claire, not that it looks much like a baby. Well it does in a way I suppose. We found out from the first scan that the baby is due on June10. It's actually Christmas eve and we've decided that we are going to stay at home, I was debating going to Wales but I decided against it, so now we're going to Claire's parents house.

I spent a lot of time thinking about what to get Claire for Christmas and to be honest I've actually brought loads of things for the baby. I have brought Claire a nice new car though and an engagement ring, I'm going to propose tonight. I'm extremely nervous but I think she will say yes that's why I waited so long because I wanted to be sure that she wanted this. Now I'm sure this is what she wants and I'm hoping to spend the rest of my life with her. Claire's upstairs right now doing God knows what, I'm cooking her a special dinner and I've even got some non alcoholic wine stuff so that everything is perfect. Just as I'm checking how long things take to cook there's a knock at the door.

What the hell are you doing here?

Voice: You didn't reply to any of my letters so I had to come here.

I only just got one of the letters today!

Voice: Can I come in and talk?

No you bloody can't.

Voice: Well can we go somewhere else then?

No!

Voice: You're not being very fair Ian!

I slam the door in her face and then lock it, of course she doesn't go away and I know she's going to cause some kind of trouble. I think about sneaking out the back door but that means Claire will be left all alone here with that lunatic out there. She knocks frantically on the door and keeps shouting my name and then Claire starts.

Claire: IAN!

Coming babe.

I walk upstairs and find Claire in the bath, she looks so beautiful even though she doesn't look too pleased with me at the moment. I bend down beside of the bath and look at her whilst blanking out the frantic name calling coming from outside. Claire looks at me and I know she's going to ask what's going on.

Claire: Why aren't you answering the door?

I have and its just someone from my past who I don't want to see again.

Claire: Yeah but if they're are going to knock on that door like that all day they're going to give everyone a headache.

I know but they won't go away.

Claire: Well just go and calm them down a bit will you.

Sure babes.

I make my way back downstairs and head towards the front door, I really don't want to open it and see her again but I also don't want Claire to get a headache or be in a mood with me. I unlock the door and put my hand on the door handle and slowly open the door. As I open the door I rub my eyes in disbelief. What meets me on the otherside is not exactly what I expected.
