Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for the amazing reviews! I only have this chapter and one more before I am ending this story. I am going to end this one and That Summer before I start any new projects and I'm only going to write 1 or 2 at a time because I know I take forever to update and I really am sorry for that. School is nuts, but over the summer I usually update 4 times a week, so please hang in there with me!

Reviews would be much appreciated! I love you all!

Clare's POV:

I couldn't help but gasp when I saw on face range that Julie had posted a frowny face and informed everyone she wasn't having a baby. In the comments one of her friends said the pregnancy was a stupid plan so I assumed it was all a fake. I couldn't help but I feel absolutely awful! I had treated Eli terribly and he was probably so hurt right now. I needed to go see him, but I doubt he will want to see me.

Eli's POV:

"Eli?" I heard a soft knock on my door before the familiar voice rang in my ears. Clare. She came. She must have heard.

"Come in." I spit viciously as I lay back in my bed. My voice sounded weak, almost as bad as I felt.

Clare frowned when she saw me, "Eli I'm-"She stopped herself and made her way over to the bed. She sat down next to me and cupped my cheek, only for me to push the hand away. She didn't seem hurt. She had that understanding look in her eye.

"I'm sorry Eli." She sighed, "I'm sorry I was so horrible to you. I won't use any excuses, I was horrible, you needed me and I was a terrible person. I don't expect you to forgive me, or want me back I just want you to know how sorry I am."

I sighed. I wanted to forgive Clare. I was crushed Julie had lied to me and I knew Clare could make it better but I was also crushed by Clare.

"I needed you so much Clare, I was so scared." I groaned, covering my face with my hands.

Clare nodded, "I know. I know you did, I was scared too though, the man I loved was having a baby with the girl that treated me horribly. I didn't know how to handle that Eli, but I know I handled it wrong, and I'm just sorry."

"Clare I don't know….I don't-"I stopped. I was so hurt by Clare; I was hurt by Julie too. I knew I wouldn't want to let Clare go though…I loved her too much.

She watched my face with patience and I knew she wasn't going to say anything else, so it was my turn to explain, "Clare I do love you, but I needed you. How do I know you won't leave me again?"

Clare sighed, "I can't give you a guarantee we won't fight and I can't promise things will be perfect, but I love you Eli and I want to be with you. All I can hope is that you can find some way to forgive me.

In a way I wanted to be mad. I wanted to tell her I couldn't be okay with her hurting me and leaving me in a time of need. But this was Clare, my Clare, I loved her and I wanted her in my life. I knew we could find some way to work this out, "I can forgive you Clare…"

Her big blue eyes that I loved lit up. She blushed, "Really?"

I nodded, "I missed you blue."

"I missed you too Eli…" Clare smiled, "So…"

When her face changed I recognized the look almost instantly. It was a mix of love and a mix of want; I had grown very familiar to this look.

I chuckled and wrapped my arms around her waist, quickly tugging on her so she was lying next to me. Clare let out a squeak, "Eli!"

I smiled and nuzzled my face into her neck. She giggled and shifted so she could straddle my lap. Clare leaned down to kiss my lips and we kissed but it was brief before I could push her off of me, "Clare…"

"Oh," She sighed, "I'm sorry did I do something?"

I shook my head, "No, not at all, but after the news with Julie…I know I'm young, but when she told me I was going to be a dad…I don't know…I was happy in a way. I never expected to like the idea, but I got used to it. By the time I was content with the idea she just took it away from me."

"I understand." Clare got off of my lap and lay next to me. She propped her head up on her hand so she could look at me, "You know you're going to be a great father one day…I just hope it would be with our child."

I smirked, "Did you just admit you want my babies?"

Clare rolled her eyes, "Well you do have great eyes."

I smiled, "I hope you can be the mom of my kids one day, but in the future, but tonight?"

Clare cuddled closer to me, "What about tonight?"

I smiled, "I just want to hold you close, whisper things in your ears, make you blush and maybe kiss a little."

Clare nodded, "That sounds nice."

"And tomorrow?" I smirked.

Clare bit her bottom lip, "Tomorrow?"

I whispered to her, "I was thinking make up sex."

"I would love that." She blushed.

Clare's POV:

When I came downstairs in nothing but Eli's shirt and my panties I couldn't help but smile. So we had broken the rules a little bit, but it was worth it. I missed him, I missed him a lot, but I was worried about him tonight too and I wanted to take care of him so I let him rest while I went on a food run.

I thought CeCe and Bullfrog would be out at a concert so I was terrified when I heard them open the door, "Oh goodness!" CeCe looked shocked when she saw me. Bullfrog just rolled his eyes and whispered, "Kids."

Bullfrog disappeared upstairs as CeCe sauntered into the kitchen. I silently thanked the Lord that Eli's shirt were enough to cover me.

CeCe smiled when she saw me, "So you two are…?"

I blushed, "Yeah…I'm sorry about Julie, I know she must have hurt you all."

CeCe nodded, "I was pretty disappointed in her, but between you and me I knew she was never right for Eli. I always hoped you two would find your way to each other."

"Really?" I couldn't help but smile. CeCe was like a mom to me and her opinion meant a lot.

She nodded before taking a sip of the soup I was cooking, "Needs some salt. I'm glad you and Eli are together; just take care of him tonight okay? He won't admit it, but I think Julie really hurt him."

I nodded and took my soup off to pour two bowls, "I won't hurt your baby boy, I promise."

CeCe nodded, "That's all I ask."

Clare's POV:

"Clare that was amazing, thank you." Eli smiled at me as we put our dishes on his bedside table. We had been watching crappy TV for a few hours but it was getting late.

"Anytime," I leaned over and kissed his lips, "I'm getting kind of tired, maybe I should get home?"

Eli rolled his eyes, "No. You're sleeping here Miss Edwards."

I giggled, "Oh I am?"

Eli nodded, "You are."

I smiled, "I would like that."

Eli slipped his hands under the shirt I had put on and he helped me out of it and my panties quickly since he was naked under the covers. We quickly cuddled up and he kissed my cheeks a few times before our lips met briefly.

"I love you Clare." He whispered.

I kissed his cheek, "And I love you Eli." And I fell asleep in the arms of the man I should be with, my Eli. Finally.

A/N: Filler chapter, probably just one more chapter after this before new story time! I hope it was okay?
