Hey everyone, I'm back!
Sorry for not updating in ages... I've been really lazy lately. [awkward] don't you just hate it when someone comes up to you and says YOLO really loud, it's fucking annoying, so I'm like yeah unless you're a cat and then they're like huh? So I say because cats have 9 lives :).
Anyway, I've got loads of ideas for this story but I'm not saying nothing!
I'm so evil :(
Next chapter .
Claire's POV
Me and Monica had watched 2 movies whilst hours had passed – illegally Blonde and Elysium. [A/N I love these films, if you haven't seen them then watch them!] But Monica was still feeling ill, she's probably caught something. I shrugged it off and took the bin full of tissues and empty packets of food to kitchen when the doorbell rang.
I walked into the kitchen where Louisa was preparing food. "I'll get the door." I smiled at her and walked to the main door. I opened it to be greeted by the postman. He handed me a parcel and I signed them tablet things they carry. I brought the package into the lounge and sat next to Monica.
She sniffled and looked at me, god she did look ill. "What's that?" she asked pointing to the parcel. I shrugged and began to open it; sitting in the box was a pair of vampire bunny slippers and a small note with some purple splashes on it – only Myrnin could have sent this.
I avoided touching the purple on the note and read what it said:
Claire,
I don't have your number anymore but I know you now live with Monica. I thought now your back I could send you a 'welcome back' present. I know you would like a pair of the slippers. It's lonely without you in the lab no more and Bob dearly misses his aunty Clairey.
Myrnin and Bob x
I smiled at the note and pulled out the slippers. Monica burst out laughing but complained after 30 seconds from her stomach hurting from too much laughter. I grinned and slipped them on my feet, they actually fitted just right. "That's Myrnin for you." Monica commented. I nodded and yanked the blanket over my body before lying out on the spare part of the sofa. It was 23:17 and I was so tired. I closed my eyes and began to drift off into a peaceful sleep.
10 hours later...
I woke up to find Louisa calling my name and nudging my shoulder. "Claire, your awake!" she said, her blue eyes were wide open.
I rubbed my eyes and looked around the room; I just woke up on the sofa with Monica still asleep next to me. "What's up Louisa?" I said yawning.
"Claire, you have an appointment with Amelie at 11:00, its 9:30." She stated.
"Shit!" I cursed and ran upstairs. I started getting ready and before I knew it, it was 10: 43. I went downstairs and grabbed my bag and keys. Monica was still asleep on the sofa; I chuckled slightly and walked out the door. I climbed into the door and began to drive into the central.
I saw other cars driving past and it became much busier. Eventually I parked outside city hall and walked up the stone stairs into the main entrance. I walked to the reception and asked for the appointment. Bizzie sent me straight through and I walked into Amelie's office.
She looked up from the papers she was signing. "Good morning Claire." She said.
"Morning Amelie" I replied to her as I sat down in one of the chairs. We began to talk for a while; I then asked her why she wanted to see me.
"Well, I need to know how long you're planning to stay here?" she said and folded her arms onto the desk.
"Well, I'll be here for a few months but mainly I'm not sure." I replied.
"That's fine; I just don't want you to stay here all the time because of your job." She smiled.
"Oh, I'm having a break at the moment but I'll be here for a while." I confirmed, she nodded and looked at the papers beside her.
"Right then, that's all I need to know, if you have any problems, come find me, at any time." She said. I thanked her and left the office and continued to where my car was parked. I jumped back in and drove out of city hall.
I looked at the passing students; they brought back memories when I was a student at TPU. I pulled into common ground which was now much larger than before. I stepped out the car and strolled to the entrance, I was greeted by the smell of coffee and the noise of talking students.
I walked over to the counter where Oliver was serving. "Hey Oliver, can I have a Caffé Latte please" I said.
"In or out?" he smiled.
"In please." I replied, he began to make the coffee, I looked around, and common grounds had a more traditional look to it now, with wooden panelling and lamps on the tables.
"That's $3:50." He said, I gave him $5 and told him to keep the change. I grabbed my coffee and began looking for a table. I saw Monica and Rob sitting at a table by the window. Rob noticed me and moved next to Monica so I could take his place.
"Claire, I've been trying to cal you for an hour!" Monica complained and sipped her mocha.
"Sorry Mon I was with Amelie." I replied and waved at Rob, he nodded back and looked out the window.
"I swear she's trying to pry you away from me every day." She stated and we all began to laugh. I shook my head at her conclusion and drank the coffee I had.
"aren't you ill?" I questioned her."
"Yeah I am a bit, but I feel quite better I'm out the house." She grinned and stirred the coffee. Rob pulled out his phone as checked a text.
"Sorry guys, boss wants me back in work, see you a 4 Mon." He said with a sad smile and left.
"So you guys going out tonight?" I said giggling.
"Yep, but he won't tell me where he's taking me." She pouted. I rolled my eyes and drank the rest of my coffee.
We both stood up and walked outside into the fresh summer breeze and jumped into the car.
2 months later...
Monica's POV
It had been 2 months since Claire had come back and everything was going great. I and Rob were engaged and I was also pregnant, but Claire or Rob doesn't know that yet.
Rob had moved in and it was like we were all family. Claire and Rob are best friends and they treat each other like brother and sister. I sighed as I flicked through the channels; no one was home as Rob and Claire were at work. I was officially bored. The wedding is in 3 days and everything is sorted out, Claire is my maid of honour (of course) and my 3 cousins from Canada are going to be bride maids as well so everything is arranged.
It turns out Rob is more excited about the wedding than I am, he got the cake and the rings sorted out and I didn't even see them. Claire should be home soon and we were going to the spa later.
Right on cue, the door opened and I instantly knew it was Claire. "Monica you ready to go?" she asked and sat next to me. I nodded and turned the telly off, the spa was only around the corner but she still drove there though.
Claire's POV
Me and Mon were currently getting our nails done when she looked a bit uneven. "Mon are you okay?" I asked her. The beauty lady went to get something from the cupboard.
"Claire, I have something to tell you." She said and looked at her hands.
"Mon, you can tell me anything." I reassured her; she took a deep breath and looked at me.
"I'm pregnant." She blurted out and then covered her mouth. I squealed with excitement and hugged her. I couldn't believe my best friend, my sister was pregnant.
"Oh my fucking god, I'm going to be an aunt!" I said as I continued to embrace her.
"I can't wait to tell Rob." She said and grinned; I returned a smile and let the lady continue with my hands.
Day before the wedding...
Rob's POV
I smiled at Monica; I was going to see her tomorrow, walking down the aisle, preparing to be my wife. I was staying at my brother's house for the night as he was my best man. I was now saying goodbye to her, I could see Claire leaning on the wall.
Monica grabbed my arm, "Rob I have something to tell you." She said, I started to panic a little, was she calling it off?
"Rob, calm down it's good news, I'm pregnant." She smiled. A flood of relief washed over me, then it kicked in, she was carrying my baby.
I tugged a piece of her hair behind her ear and kissed her softly. I smiled and placed my hand over her tummy. "Bye Monica, and bye baby." I said before grabbing my bags and driving to my brother's house.
Claire's POV
"Aww that was cute." I said to Monica who sat next to me on the sofa. She nodded and smiled gently.
"I can't wait for tomorrow." She replied.
Woahh, talk about a twist! Ye I know, I had to skip like 2 months later cuz I just cba to write a load of crap so I skipped it a bit.
I can't believe I made Monica pregnant in this story; I actually never had that in mind!
It took 2 hours to write this even though it was short because I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to do.
Hope you liked the story,
