Claire started walking without thinking about where she was going. It was hot outside and the sun was glaring down on her. She heard the door open behind her and Shane sprint out.

"Claire, please listen." He said from behind her. She spun around. "You have to hear me out. I don't want you to have to go through everything. I don't think we're ready."

She sighed. "Okay. If you don't want this baby, and to get rid of it, then it's over between us." She replied.

"I just don't want-"

"'Kay, bye Shane. I'm moving back in with my parents."

It had been six months since she'd broken up with Shane. She hadn't seen him since. Of course, Eve and Michael came over to visit. Claire didn't really go out these days. She didn't want to accidentally see him.

Claire had been two months pregnant when she moved back in with her parents, and telling them hadn't been easy. Her parents had supported her through everything anyway.

Not a day had gone by that she hadn't thought about him. Here she was, sitting in her room thinking about him again. It was about 2am but Claire couldn't sleep, it was just too uncomfortable. Her parents were away at some Vampire conference.

There was a tap on her window. Then another. She got up and walked over to see what was outside.

"Claire!" A voice yelled.

Wow, that was weird. She slowly pulled open the window and peered out.

"It's Shane! Can I come up?" Oh my God. It was Shane. What could she do? It had been so long.

"'Kay." That was all she could come up with? He was probably going to run back home now. She wouldn't blame him. Oh my God. And she was the size of a house. He would be repulsed by her. He hadn't wanted the baby.

She went and sat on her bed and waited for him.

He came in through the window. "Claire." He said. "How many times can I beg you'll take me back? It's been six months. Six long months. I need you. I haven't stopped thinking about you."

She'd felt exactly the same way.

"I don't know. I mean, you didn't want a baby, yet here one is." She pointed to her stomach.

"I'm ready for all this now. How can I explain? Move back to the Glass house. We'll be a family."

It was all she could ever want and more.

By now he was sitting next to her on the bed. She felt tears come to her eyes.

"Shane, do you realise how long I've spent sitting in my room thinking about you? I can't really go anywhere. I've missed you so much."

She leaned into him and he put his arms around her.

"Hey, Shane? Do you remember how you said you were ready to be a family."

"Yeah."

"My water just broke."

"Oh my God. Do we need to go to the hospital?" He asked.

"Yes. Soon."

"Okay, I've got Eve's car."

"We should go then."

He got up and dragged her up with him. She awkwardly waddled to the front door.

"You can't run can you?"

"Probably not."

He swung his arms around the back of her legs and picked her up then sprinted to the car and put her in the passenger seat. He then got in and drove off to the hospital.

This was it, she thought. All these months had been in preparation for what was coming.
