~ Clare's P.o.v ~

Eli and I were still happy and in love. He finally met his mother and got all of the answers he needed. Cindy and CeCe bought a little cottage close to the theatre that Eli and I now owned, we changed the name to Degrassi theatre. Adam had become really close to us. We still had our room under my dressing room. Yes I still played the leads in most productions, only because Eli made me. He still hadn't proposed. Which I acted like it was fine, but I was wondering why he wouldn't propose. We still had no kids yet. But we were really busy with the theatre right now anyways.

At the moment we were snuggling up together in bed.

He was playing with my hands while I was just looking at him.

"Why do you keep looking at me? I know I'm gorgeous, but you don't need to be shy about it." He said while winking at me.

"Believe me I'm not shy around you anymore. And I know you're gorgeous. Obviously it's the reason I'm with you." I said jokingly.

"Ouch my lady. No need to be so heartless. So….. you want to prove to me that you're not shy around me anymore?" he said. I knew where he was getting at.

"Well that depends. What did you have in mind?"

"Oh I don't kno-" and then he kissed me and got on top of me while rubbing his hands up and down my side.

"mmmmmmm Eli."

"shhhhhhh"

He started to untie my corset and took off my nightgown as I took off his clothes.

"mmmmm Eli. I need you in me NOW!"

"Hmmmm. Sorry babe. No can do."

"What?ELI!"

He then started to suck on my body. ALL over my body.

"Eli please just fuck me. Stop teasing me."

"if you insist Clare. I can see somebody is a little eager to start a family."

"Well I'd rather get married before we start a family actually."

"What?" dammit. I wanted to talk about this, but not right now. Not right before he was about to make love to me.

"Eli please can we talk about this later?"

He then got off of me and started getting dressed then threw my cover up at me.

"No. I think we should talk about this right now before I get you pregnant."

"Eli why are you being like this?"

"Being like what Clare? I'm sorry for being mature and talking about our future before getting you pregnant when you haven't even talked to me about your feelings at all. Can you please get dressed Clare?"

I sighed and got dressed.

"What's on your mind Clare?"

"Eli there's nothing really on my mind other than my raging hormones at the moment."

"Don't lie to me. Dammit Clare. Are you mad because I haven't proposed to you yet? Or are you not happy with me anymore?"

"What? Eli your being ridiculous! Of course I want to be with you. I love you Eli. I always will. And I'm not mad that you haven't proposed. I mean I thought you would've proposed by now, but Eli you've only been out in public for a year. You have barely gotten comfortable to everything. I completely understand why you haven't. I don't blame you and I'm not mad at you. I'm just eager for it to happen I guess. And I don't think we should start a family until we are married. That doesn't mean we can't make love to each other." Truth is I was getting scared that he would find another girl that he liked more than me. I know that's not like Eli, but you never know.

"There's something else you're not telling me. Spit it out Clare."

"Eli it's just me being a typical woman. It's no big deal."

"Okay then. If it's no big deal you'll tell me what it is. Enlighten me on you being typical. Because your not the typical woman. That's one of the reasons I love you so much."

Sigh.

"It's just what if you find another girl out in the city? One that's prettier than me or funnier or better in bed or rich or a princess? I can't help it Eli. I've already lost enough people who claimed they loved me and would never leave me and then they did. I can't go through that pain again. Especially when it comes to you."

"There we go. Clare do you really think I would find somebody better than you? First of all this theatre, this town is full of whores, second I made a promise to your father that I would never leave you, that I would ALWAYS watch after you for him, third you are gorgeous, you are funny, you are an animal in bed ;) , I don't care about stuck up rich girls, and your my own customized princess. Clare I love you because you are unique. And plus you saved my life. You brought me out of my cave, you supported me when I first met my mother, you didn't give up on me when I did kill a few people, and you didn't give up on me when all I had was this cave and music. I would never leave you. And your father didn't leave you by choice Clare. He left because he was in pain. He needed to go. But he loved you enough to leave you in the hands of an angel and Cindy. It was hard for him. Probably the hardest thing he ever did. But if it meant you were always protected than he was happy. And I'm the only man he trusted with you. He told me I would steal your heart. That's how he wanted it. And that's what happened. And as far as kids go. I agree. We should wait until marriage." He told me as I started to cry. But not because I was sad. Because I was happy he still chose me. He then pulled me in for a hug.

"I can't believe it's been a year. A whole year Eli. It's been a year since all the madness happened. It's been a year since we fell in love. It's been a year since my father died. It's been a year since we promised each other eternity." I smiled at him.

"And it's almost been a year since I came out into public to run after you."

'It's almost your birthday" I told him with a smile on my face.
