Diapers Chapter 3

"Clare-bear, I've got to go to work honey. I'll be home in a few hours." Eli placed his hands on Clare's waist as he pulled her in for a quick kiss. She smiled as they released and Eli kissed his son's head before running out of the door. Clare sighed before taking her child into her arms and walking into his room. She sat him in his cradle and grinned at the little boy. "Nappy time, Nat." She closed the door to his room and walked back into the living room. She took a seat on the couch and before she could realize it she soon fell asleep.

A few hours later she woke up to the sound of banging on the front door. She groggily rubbed her eyes and opened the door to come face to face with a frantic Bullfrog. "Bullfrog?"

"Clarabelle. It's Eli." Clare's face quickly turned to concern.

"What's wrong? Is he okay?"

"His office caught on fire. He should be fine but what I'm worried about is who did it to him and why." Mr. Goldsworthy shook his head.

"I need to go see him now!" She ran back into the house to grab Nathan and her keys. Bullfrog told her to follow him as the two cars drove off.

Clare's heels clicked as she raced down the hallway of the hospital with her child in her arms. She ran into Eli's room. Inside fast asleep was her husband. He had a cast on his arm and was breathing through an air tube but besides that he didn't look near as bad as she thought he would. She placed Nathan in Bullfrog's arms before slowly approaching Eli. She laid her hand on his. She could feel his grip tighten on her and she smiled slightly. At the least he did respond.

The one thing she didn't understand though was why someone tried to kill her husband. Who hated him that much? She had no idea but she was afraid that sooner than later she'd come in contact with who had harmed Eli.

I know not my best work and way too short. I hope to make it up to you in the next chapter. Please accept my apology and review. Thanks for reading and have a great day. Here's a sneak peek for what's soon to come;

"Haven't seen you in awhile have I?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see Clare of course. Why? Did you expect me to actually want to talk to you."

"We are not putting our child in adoption no matter how much you try to persuade Clare."

"We'll see about that."

"She hates you."

"I hate you. There's always one person in our lives who we all can't wait to see the day when..."
