After A long day especially learning that the love of his life was pregnant with his child he knew he had messed up bad especially those awful words he never want to repeat to her so Eli knew he had to prove to Clare that he was not the boy he once was and he has grown a lot.Once Eli reached his childhood home he was home from university and working at the Dot didn't make as much he needed then the whole drama with Drew and how he was trying to get in between him and Clare and how the relationship almost ruined them even though technically they had been broken ever since that day when he arrived at Degrassi and found Clare and Drew…He shook his head replacing his thoughts with Clare his heart beats faster and those blue eyes oh those blue.eyes, her beautiful smile and gorgeous self and how brilliant she was and how kissable those lips of hers were how he wanted to-A voice interrupted his thoughts of Clare, yeah totally normal thinking about the mother of your child who called you out for slut shaming her but it was Clare his soulmate Which he claimed not even a year ago at his prom on a horse and carriage."Eli you home, sweet boy?" His mother calls out from the living room. His mother or even father knew that he and Clare were expecting yet or even the mess of it all. Eli shuts the door behind him, walking towards the living room, which was dark mahogany furniture with green/blue walls and cushions on the dark brown couch the Goldsworthys had mixed and matched pieces around the living room.Eli has his hand in his pocket as he walks over to the couch sitting down his chucks on his feet he takes a deep breath he knows he had to tell his parents they had to know "Mum I have to tell you something" he plays with his hand something he does.Cece Goldsworthy raises an eyebrow "Elijah Goldsworthy, what is going on, my boy?" She was gentle, but she knows when to be serious, and she knows when something is on Eli's mind.The 19 year old looks up at his mother he has to tell her "I got Clare pregnant but I just found out and I'm scared she'll hate me forever now," He regrets hurting her not just the nasty things he said but even back when he kissed that girl named after soap liquid who he finds annoying and now things with him and Clare where at their lowest point and of course he felt insecure he doesn't want to lose Clare he'd almost lost her before.Cece Goldsworthy was processing the news she couldn't believe her son got a girl pregnant that girl being the love of his life which was true her and Eli's father had seen Eli and Clare, "How far is she?""16 weeks, but I just found out, and I don't think she wants anything so with me…" he looks down "I may have said something that may have her hate me.." he admits."Oh my sweet boy, what happened? You and Clare were always so good," the older woman tells her son.Eli looks up "We were.. I love her more than anything. I was upset thinking another guy got her pregnant, so I said things I'm not proud of.""We all had done and said things we're humans, but if you love Clare, which I know you do, you'll work it out. Trust me:" she gets up, leaving the room.A while later, she comes back with stuffed wolf, which was Eli's when he was a baby "Here this might be a start now. Go talk to her and work it out."At that Eli then picks up Clarence and his paycheck from work and ran all the way back to Degrassi while he also picked up baby and tots baby programs to give to Clare he was going to be there for her and their baby and hopefully the last few weeks never happens again.Few hours later after he and Clare had talked and reunited they were back at her house Clare had told her mum about how Eli is the father of the baby which to Eli's surprise Helen Martin was very chill about but he could see why she was supportive of Clare so much since Clare been though so much and now he was with Clare alone sitting on her couch Clare was holding the stuffed wolf she looks at Eli with a grin, "How did you name the wolf Clarence" it was funny how it had some of her name.The older boy thought, he responded "Honesty I have no idea but I'm glad I gave it that name especially since the most amazing person in the world name is in it" he flashes his sly smile which made Clare blush.Putting down the wolf onto the coffee table, she moves a little closer, facing her body towards Eli, "Well our son will love it if he is anything like his father" she smiles.Eli felt so happy he couldn't believe he was having a child with his soulmate he thought they would be a little older with careers and Eli had put a ring on Clare's finger but he still going to be there even if they were only 17 and 18 but lot of people had done it at their age "I have a feeling our son be more like you and definitely have those beautiful eyes like you.""With your beautiful curly hair and gorgeous smile" Clare replied happily. She hadn't felt this happy around Eli in a long time."Possibly" Eli grins, as he watches Clare his eyes goes to her lips but he knows he had to make an effort to gain Clare's trust again but it was so hard not to kiss her she was so gorgeous especially with how her hair started to grow again and he never over all so he changed subject to what he thought was the safest route."You should come over. My parents would love to see you again. They missed you." He missed her too but for more reasons as a little nervous laugh came out as he rubbed the back of his head, something he always does.Clare's eyes light up when she sees Eli's parents. They were always so good to her and let her stay over a few times in Eli's bedroom, which her own mother never has to know about, "You know what I would love to." She smiled, then she felt the baby kicking. She looked at him, letting out small pain noises.Eli now looked worried, "Hey Edwards, everything okay?" He leaned closer, then his eyes winded when he realised it was the baby kicking, "Can I?" He asks.Clare gave him a nod while he gently place his hands onto her baby bump he could feel their baby kick his eyes filled with joy and many emotions then said, "That our son I can't believe this actually really?" He looks back up into Clare's eyes."He's really strong and definitely going to be a fighter just like you. I can feel it" she softly smiles."His mum Is a survivor in many ways. I think that is where he gets from both of us, but I can't wait" Eli gazed in her eyes they were dangerously closer now.Her heart beats faster as he then places one hand on her check, rubbing gently, "Clare I want you to know about the past, how I'm sorry for everything and I promise to be the man you are proud of."Clare takes his hand in hers, and their fingers interlocked perfectly, "Eli I'm proud of you always have been you are pretty amazing, you know that, right?" She always believed him even when he didn't think so she was always his biggest supporter.Eli tears up, "I don't know what I'd do without you Clare honestly I don't, and you saved me."Clare felt like crying "Eli you saved yourself you came so far and you should be so proud and happy but it also okay to try" she gives him a hug he felt her warmth and her shampoo which was strawberry which he loves on her.After they hugged, they looked at each other, "Let promise we look to the future and start fresh" Eli offers his hand with a sly playful smile.Clare giggles, taking his hand as sparks are still there "I promise Eli."
They were grinning, but at the same time, they get soulmates were trying to resist each other. They were still in love, but they were mending and getting back on track.
