Hello readers I'm sorry that I haven't updated for a while so to make up for it I've written a long chapter I've been sufuring fom writer's block but now am back and I'll probably even have chapter 3 up next Wednesday.

Thank you to all who have read this and to the people who posted reviews and added this to your favourites and story alerted and added me to author alert.

Now on with the chapter.

Chapter 2

Third Person's POV

(A few months later)

Today Claire wasn't looking forward to what she had to spend the day doing.

It wasn't the fact that she had to go to Uni but it was the fact that afterwards she had to go to work with Myrnin and she just didn't feel like arguing with him. In fact she also didn't really feel much like going to Uni which was strange for her but she didn't have much choice.

It wasn't strange for Claire not to want to spend time with Myrnin because ever since Ada 'died', for lack of a better word, he kept going on about how getting another human brain was needed to make the system that keeps Morganville safe from the vampires point of view and she always spent her time telling him that it wasn't needed or a good idea.

"Hello Claire. Are you alright?"

"Hello Myrnin, yes I'm fine" Apart from a headache that she'd been dealing with all day. "What do you need me today?"

"I want you have another look at the circuit we created. It doesn't work that well and I still say that it needs a brain."

"I'd rather not go through this again. I've already told you countless times that a brain is not needed and I refuse to let you try."

"But without a brain it will never work properly."

It seemed as though she had no choice but to go over this argument again.

"But what if a brain is used the same thing that happened with Ada could happen again."

"Do you know that would happen for sure? How do you know that Ada didn't just act like that because she was jealous of the fact that you were the one who got to work with me and she was in love with me and wanted to be in your place but couldn't be?"

"Can you guarantee me that it won't happen? Anyway it's wrong and you know it."

"But do I though seeing as I'm a vampire and people have been killed so that I can have their blood so why not just have their brain as well. Yours would be perfect as you understand all of this."

"But people in Morganville don't get killed for their blood so that argument doesn't work."

"Claire you do remember that I'm a vampire and could easily kill you when I want to."

Claire hated it when he acted like this. "I'm aware of that, I'd have to be an idiot not too remember that. Now I'm going to go before it gets dark. I'll see you tomorrow."

She'd now had enough of everything today as the headache that was only minor was now becoming more prominent. She was now not really looking forward to tomorrow especially as it was a Saturday and she was going to have to spend more time with Myrnin. Although in the morning she was going to start looking at wedding dresses with Eve.

She would just have to hope that she was feeling alright.

Whilst Claire had been dealing with Myrnin, Shane had been spending time looking at rings and really liking them. He felt like he was shopping for Claire's engagement ring all over again.

For the engagement ring he had gone to the jewellery stores that were in Morganville and looking online trying to find one that he knew Claire would love and was within his price range but he had wanted there to be a diamond/s because he felt as though she deserved them after all that she had been though.

After looking for a while he realised that there was plenty of time to get them and he didn't need to get them sorted now as they weren't getting married until next year after Claire had graduated.

Something that they did need to do at some point was speak to Amelie to ask for permission to leave for a couple of weeks for their honeymoon.

When he got back home he decided to play on the Wii and shoot things as he didn't have work and shooting things was all that was able to distract him from the fact that Claire wasn't there and if he were to text her he couldn't be sure that she would either not reply due not able to or she wouldn't hear her phone go off.

When Claire was finally home Shane was happy to see her and happy that he could wrap her in his arms like he had wanted to do all day long.

"How was your day baby?"

"Same as always when I've had to deal with Myrnin and Uni was as it always was. And I've now got a major headache."

"Are you alright? Do you want me to make you something to eat or get you anything?"

"I'd love something a sandwich or something."

"Well why don't you go and lie down upstairs and I'll bring you something."

"Thank you."

When Shane had made the sandwich he decided to grab a can of coke as the sugar and the caffeine helps cure headaches along with the tablets.

"Here you go Claire."

"Thank you, so what did you do today?"

"Not much really just stayed home and missed you a lot. Is it weird that I always miss having you in my arms?"

"Not really cause I do have to admit that it is my favourite place to be. I wish the next months would pass already so that I could be called your wife."

"I can't wait to be able to call you my wife and to also have an even bigger reason to hate any guy that looks at you or hits on you." He said smiling sweetly at her.

"Trust you to turn something romantic into an excuse to be allowed to land people in hospital." She laughed.

"Yep, but I bet you wouldn't have me any other way."

"You're right I wouldn't. I can see you being a great dad to our children. With the boys you'll be able to play sports with them and show them the proper way to treat girls and you'll be protective of the girls and be someone they can easily turn to."

"Yeah and you'd be a good mum as you'll give them the love they need and deserve and give them the proper care and attention. You'd be the perfect role model for the girls and you'd always know how to help them."

"Especially if the girls have a boy related problem as they'll be scared that you'd want to harm the poor boys."

"Not harm them just maybe perhaps scare them as no boy will ever be good enough for them. Something tells me that your dad feels exactly the same about you."

"I love talking about the future with you and it makes me wish that the next seven months would hurry up and pass."

"Something tells me that even though you say that now I bet that once we get further into the planning the time will fly by and you'll be wanting more time but I'll always be right by your side for you to fall back on and to help you out."

"How did I ever get so lucky?"

"I think you'll find that it's me that's lucky. You've turned me into a person who you know you can count on and you've shown me the proper way to love."

"I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this matter."

"How are you feeling now?"

"A bit better. I think talking about the future has helped and being wrapped up in your arms."

"Why don't you try and sleep and see if that helps. I'll stay up here as well."

She managed to sleep but it sadly it only lasted for a few hours when she suddenly came over with a wave of nausea and she just managed to make to the bathroom in time.

"Claire? Are you alright in there?" Shane asked.

"Yeah just give me a moment."

"Are you sure that you're alright?" Shane asked when Claire opened the door.

"I think so now."

"Do you want something to eat or drink?"

"No thanks I think I'll just go back to bed."

"Alright, do you want me to stay with you?"

"No it's fine you can go downstairs if you want to."

"Alright, I'll check on you later. Yell for me if you need anything."

Shane then went downstairs to let Eve and Michael know what's going on with Claire and then went back upstairs after grabbing some food.

(Next Day)

When Claire woke up the next morning she had to make another quick dash to the bathroom which also woke Shane up in the process.

"Are you alright Claire?"

"I'm fine Shane go back to bed." She replied once she'd finished retching.

"Claire I'm worried about you, please let me in."

"I'll be out in a sec." She said then proceeded to be sick again.

"Claire, baby please let me in?"

Claire realised that Shane was not going to give in so she managed to crawl to the door to let him in then lent her head against the cold wall tiles.

"Oh baby, how are you feeling?"

"A bit better now but I'd rather not move just in case."

"Do you want me to carry me back to our room?"

"Yeah, just let brush my teeth."

Shane held Claire whilst she brushed her teeth then gently placed her back into bed.

"Do you want me to get you anything?"

"Can you get me a glass of water please? What time is it?"

"It's about 9 o'clock. Do you want me to tell Eve that you can't go shopping?"

"Thanks. You don't have to do this you know."

"Yes I do it's my job to take care of you as your future husband and I want to do this for you. It's also your job to stay in this bed and I have every intention of making you stay here as well."

"Okay, fine."

"I'll be right back with your water." He kissed her on the forehead before leaving.

When Shane came back he was also followed by Eve and Michael.

"Hey Claire, heard you were ill, you feeling alright?"

"You heard from Shane or you actually heard?"

"Which one would make you feel better?"

"Ugh. Sorry you had to hear that. I feel so embarrassed."

"You can't help the fact that you're ill. Anyway on a happier note I've brought my laptop seeing as how Shane won't let you out of bed and I don't think it's a good idea anyway and you can't go shopping we could start online to get ideas."

"Sounds good."

"So that means Shane and Michael you've got to go and Shane knock if you need to enter."

Shane didn't want to leave Claire but saw that he had no say in the matter.

"Okay, now the boys have left let's get to work. Alright I've already decided that you're dress will either be black, purple or both."

"Liking the sound of that. Not going for the evil bride then?"

"I've just told you the colour not the style." They then burst into laughter.

"Ugh, hang on a moment." Claire had to make a quick dash to the bathroom. "Ugh, I so hate being ill."

After a couple of hours of looking at dresses and a lot of giggling they decided to have a break for lunch as Claire had not had anything more than a couple of glasses of water. They also knew that it might be hard to keep Shane away any longer and Claire needed rest.

"I hope that I'll be fine in the morning cause I hate having to miss spending a weekend with you." Claire moaned that evening whilst they were curled up in bed.

"I hope you are as well cause as I like caring for you and doing things for you, which I bet you like as well, but I don't like seeing you miserable or and I don't like you being ill. I think that if you aren't okay tomorrow you should see a doctor during the week at some point."

When they woke up the next day Claire once again had to rush off to the bathroom.

"I guess I'm not any better."

In the afternoon after Claire had woken up from her nap and had something to eat Eve got Shane to leave with the excuse of that they were going to continue looking at dresses, but in truth she had something important to ask Claire that couldn't be said in front of Shane.

"Hey Claire. I've got a question to ask you."

"Shoot."

"Do you think you could be pregnant?"

"I haven't thought it before."

"It's just that you're only sick in the mornings but yet fine in the evenings. I just think it could be a possibility."

"I think you could be right. Do you need to out to buy the test or not?"

"I know the perfect excuse."

"Hey Eve, is everything alright with Claire?"

"Yeah she's fine for now. I'm just going to go out quickly for the perfect way to cheer her up."

10 minutes later Eve was back armed with lots of chocolate and a few films that would allow for them to drool over fit guys.

"I'm back."

"Did you get what you wanted?"

"Yep, loads of chocolate and a few films, so I'll be upstairs with Claire should you need me but try not to." Then she dashed upstairs.

"Good you're back."

"I bought you a few cause they aren't definite."

A few minutes later Eve and Claire were sitting in the bedroom waiting for the three minutes to pass so they could check them.

"How long has it been?"

"Three minutes. Do you want to check them or me?"

"Can you do it?"

"Alright. They say you're pregnant. Oh my God I'm so happy for you."

"Are you serious? Oh my God I'm pregnant. I have to tell Shane. Shane! Shane!"

"What? What's happened?"

"Nothing I've just got some great news. I'm pregnant. You're going to be a dad."
