When I get to the front door she's standing there shaking and holding the
gun in her hand then I look down and see Claire lying on the floor. I
quickly bend down and turn her over so I can see her face, her eyes are
closed and she is still breathing. I can't see any blood or anything then I
notice the bullet lying on the floor by the kitchen door and relief rushes
through me. Claire opens her eyes and looks towards me, I grab hold of her
and cuddle her tightly. I turn outside to see that she's still standing
there staring at me.
I'd get out of here before I call the police.
Voice: But I need to talk.
If you think I'm ever going to speak to you again after this you've got another thing coming!
She sighs and leaves, I close the door and carry Claire upstairs to bed. I put her down on the bed gently and then lay beside her.
Claire: Are you ok?
Yeah I'm fine. How about you? You're not feeling ill or got stomach pains or anything have you.
Claire: *smiling* Ian darling I'm fine really I am but its nice to know you care so much.
After that little incident I decided that maybe proposing wasn't the right thing to do well not at that moment in time. That didn't stop me though I actually asked her on Christmas day and I remember as if it was yesterday. It was late in the evening and we had just got back from her parents, I took her upstairs to the bedroom and then I got down on one knee.
Claire: Ian what are you doing?
Will you marry me?
Claire: Yes of course I will.
Claire grabbed hold of me, pulled me onto the bed and held me tightly in her arms whilst kissing me gently. Everything just felt so right in that moment when she said yes and the moments afterwards when we just stayed on the bed together holding each other in our arms.
I'm so glad I asked her and now we've been engaged for nearly four months and life is great. Claire only has about a month of the pregnancy left and the doctor said that both Claire and the baby are healthy and that there should be a natural birth. I think I'm looking forward to the birth more than Claire but that's understandable because she's the one who's got to go through all the pain. I just wish I could help in some way. We're going to Wales to see my parents today and are planning to stay there until the day after my birthday and then we'll have a few weeks to prepare for our babies arrival. I've put everything in the car now and I'm just waiting for Claire to get ready but as usual that takes her years to complete. Finally she's ready and we start our long and tiring journey to Wales. We've just arrived and already Claire looks exhausted so as soon as everyone's said hello I'm going to take her upstairs for a rest. Everybodies really fussing over Claire and asking her loads of questions about how the pregnancy has been and all that stuff. It is starting to annoy me because surely they must have noticed that Claire looks extremely pale and tired or it could just be me worrying too much.
