Ok so I was told by a fan "Please don't let Eli die" and I got an idea from reading the book "The Vampire Diaries volume 2: The Fury and Dark Reunion" Please let me know how you like it.
I woke up at 3am with Braxton Hicks Contractions which were normal to me. I looked over to see Alli asleep beside me and I got out of my huge bed without waking her. I walked down stairs and made some tea.
"Clare what's wrong are you ok?"
"Yea Eli I just have Braxton Hicks Contractions again they'll go away soon" I said as I rubbed my belly
"How about you relax at the bar instead of pacing around the living room and I'll make you some tea?"
"Sure that sounds wonderful"
Eli helped me to the bar in the kitchen and I sat on a chair, Eli kissed my temple as he waited for the water to boil.
"Clare how long have you had the contractions?"
"Not long they'll come and go when they please which is how I know they're fake."
"Ok, but if you still have them after you finish the tea we're going to the hospital"
"Eli I'm sure everything is fine."
"I know, but I like to make sure"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
I drank the tea that Eli made and sure enough the contractions stopped.
The sound of the kettle going off broke my trans and I'm jolted back into my Eli-less reality. I reached into the cabinet to grab a glass and a sharp pain went through my abdomen causing me to drop the glass.
"Damnit" I mumbled
I tried to pick up the glass, but failed.
"Clare are you ok?" Adam asked as he seen me
"Yea I have fake contractions and one of them hurt a lot and caused me to drop a glass"
"Don't worry I'll get it"
"Do we need to go to the hospital?" Alli asked
"No Alli I'll be fine"
I gripped the counter in pain with one hand and rubbed my belly with the other.
"Clare what's going on?" Alli asked as she ran to my side
"These stupid Braxton Hicks Contractions are getting fucking worse." I said through my teeth
"Ok well hold on I'll be right back"
Alli went away for a moment while Adam cleaned up the broken glass. I started to walk around a little as I continued to rub my belly. I just got in the living room and the door bell rang. Who the fuck stops by at 3 am? I answered it regardless.
"Hello" I said as I rubbed my belly
"Wow Clare you're huge" Jenna stated
"Gee thank you Jenna and hi KC"
I moved aside and let them come in figuring Alli called them and continued to walk.
"Eli the babies are kicking for the first time come feel"
Eli knelt in front of me, put his hands on my belly to feel the babies kick, then he looked up at me and smiled.
"Wow your house is big so where's Eli?" Jenna asked
I broke down and cried. Alli and Adam rushed to my aid.
"Clare it's ok."
"It's not ok I fucking hate this Eli should be here with me" I cried
Jenna rubbed my back and Alli shot her a death glare.
"I'm in fucking pain and he promised to go through this with me. Alli he promised me and now all I have left of the memories and thoughts of what could have been" I cried
Adam took KC and Jenna away.
"Clare it's ok Adam and I aren't leaving you."
I stood up and felt another strong sharp pain in my stomach signaling another contraction. I squeezed tightly onto Alli's hand.
"What another contraction Clare?"
I nodded
"Adam grab a car out of the garage we need to get to the hospital, Jenna get my cell and call Clare's doctor it's the only doctor in there, KC come get Clare while I get her suitcase" Alli shouted out orders.
Everyone scattered around and I was held up by KC and he walked with me to the car.
"So Clare do you know what you're having?"
"Two girls one boy"
"You're having triplets?"
I nodded and felt another contraction.
"Ok I called the doctors" Jenna said as she ran over to KC and I.
"Clare I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past"
"KC don't worry about it I found Eli and he was the best thing that ever happened to me. I don't regret anything except having to live without him."
"It'll be ok KC and I can help if you want." Jenna said
Alli soon joined and Adam started up a minivan as I started to get in.
"All three car seats are in the back of it"
I squeezed KC's and Jenna's hands as another contraction came on. I realized I, Clare Diane Goldsworthy, am indeed in labor. I entered the van and everyone else did the same.
"Did we get everything?" Adam asked
"Clare's in the back with KC and Jenna and we have Clare's suitcase in the trunk. We're good" Alli said
Adam pulled out of the garage and we took off to the hospital.
When we got to the hospital I was moved to a wheel chair and greeted by Dr. Borne as I was being wheeled through the hospital to Labor and Delivery.
"So how far apart are the contractions?"
"Every five minutes" Adam said
"Ok well lets get Mrs. Goldsworthy in a room"
Once we got into a room I had to change into a gown which Jenna helped me since Alli wanted to talk to Dr. Borne. After I got dressed Jenna and Adam helped me to my bed.
"Good morning Mrs. Goldsworthy do you happen to be related to Eli-"
"Say his name and we'll kill you" Adam stated
"So I'm just here to place monitors on your belly" the nurse said
I moved the blanket down and my gown up to reveal my belly, she placed two monitors on me.
"One will keep track of the babies heartbeats and the other will keep track of your contractions." She said and then left.
"Ok Clare so I talked to the doctor and he's going to put a sign on your door"
"Ok" I said not even caring about anything.
"Someone please tell me I'll be ok"
"Clare-bear everything will be ok I promise." Alli said
"And if it's not ok Alli and I will fix it" Adam stated
"And KC and I will help as well"
"Thank you guys"
Alli moved over to the machine that the monitors were hooked up on.
"So Clare it says here you're going to have another really strong contraction soon"
"Alli please don't tell me that" I said through my teeth as the pain hit me.
Dr. Borne entered the room.
"So Clare let's see how you're progressing" she looked over at the machines. "Well you're definitely in labor, we'll have a nurse bring hook an IV up to you."
"Someone give me their hand so I can squeeze it when a nurse comes" I said as another contraction came on
KC held his hand out I looked up at him.
"I'm used to it I went through this when Jenna was in labor she squeezed my hand the entire time"
The nurse came in and I grabbed KC's hand I let go once the nurse put the IV in my arm.
"Thank you KC" I said
"You're welcome"
"You two can go home and sleep if you want I'm sure you're busy with Christian and all." Alli said
"No my mom has him tonight which was how we were able to come." KC said
"It's going to be pretty boring here, but you two are welcome to stay."
"So Clare how are we feeling?"
"I'm in a lot of pain and when am I getting my c-section?" I asked
"Not until you're father along in your labor"
"Is there anything she can have for the pain?" Adam asked
"Yes we have bridge medicine it'll take eighty percent of the pain away and put her to sleep"
"Can I have that?" I asked
"Sure let me get a nurse"
"KC came back and gave me his hand again. It turned out that I didn't need KC's hand after all because the only thing the nurse did was hook it up to the IV that's already in my arm. I fell asleep once the medicine kicked in.
I walked to a field, Eli was in the middle of it sitting on a picnic blanket with some food, two champagne glasses, and a bottle of wine.
"Eli you know I can't drink I'm pregnant" I said as I walked over to him
"Not anymore"
I looked down and I noticed I didn't have a belly. I felt sad as I sat down.
"Don't worry they're fine." Eli said happily and he held me in his arms.
I smiled
"I miss you Clare"
"I miss you too Eli" I said as I nuzzled myself in his arms. "I love you so much Eli"
"I love you so much too and I'm glad Adam and Alli are helping you"
"Me too"
Eli leaned in and kissed me.
"Clare I have to go when you wake up tell the kids I love them."
"Eli don't go"
I was jolted awake when I heard someone calling my name, I felt tears coming down my cheeks, when I went to rub them I realized I had a mask on my face.
"Clare you're finally awake it's been hours" Adam said
I looked over to Adam and he was dressed in scrubs from head to toe.
"Why am I in a mask and where are my babies?"
"The mask is on you so you wouldn't wake up until we needed you to and they're getting cleaned up"
I heard really loud screaming and moments later I was given one of my children.
"This is your daughter she's 5 pounds and nine ounces."
I looked at her and she was gorgeous her eyes were close, but her hair was wavy and brown.
"Hi Danielle" I said
"Dannielle?" Adam asked
"She just looks more than a Dannielle than and Andrea"
"Oh"
Adam was pulled away leaving me with my baby.
"Hi Danni daddy sends his love from heaven" I cried.
Danni was sleeping in my arms when Adam came back with a screaming baby. He took Danni away and put the baby he had in my arms the baby stopped crying once I held him..
"Clare meet your son"
I looked down my baby boy looked just like Eli only he had light brown hair.
"Hi little Eli daddy loves you" I cried.
Alli walked over to us with another baby, sat next to me, and leaned over so I could see her. She had dark brown hair and looked more like me.
"Hi Andrea daddy loves you too" I said to her.
Moments later all three babies were taken away from us, I was moved into a different bed and taken back to my room.
I looked around and noticed my room was totally different.
"They put us in the Maternity Ward" Adam stated
"Thanks are they letting you both stay?" I asked
"Yes I told Dr. Borne what's going on and we're both able to stay by your side plus when the head nurse objected my evil side came out and changed her mind" Alli stated. I giggled a little.
"Clare how do you know Eli sends his love and that you had the babies when you woke up?" Alli asked
"Because in my dream I was with Eli only I wasn't pregnant, he told me the babies were ok, he misses me, loves all four of us, and to send his love."
Alli mouthed an "Oh" and Adam nodded.
"Are you hungry Mrs. Goldsworthy" A nurse asked
"No I'm actually not. I'm just tired.
"Ok we'll bring in two cots and let you sleep"
"Thank you" I said to the nurse then turned to Adam and Alli "Thank you both for being there."
"You're welcome, Adam and I sent KC and Jenna home, but they'll be back tomorrow." Alli said
"Ok"
"Clare you can go to sleep don't worry about us you've had a rough day" Adam stated
I fell asleep.
"Welcome back Clare"
"Hi Eli"
I walked towards Eli in a field and joined him.
"The babies are beautiful and I told them you love them."
"I know"
Eli kissed my temple.
"How about we cuddle and fall asleep like we used to?"
I nodded, kissed Eli, and laid down on his chest.
