Summary: This is an "EClare Affair". Eli's cheating on his wife with their newly divorced neighbor, Clare. Rumors travel and secrets unravel. Can they make it through all the pain and drama?
1 year later
It was a beautiful summer day. Clare, Eli, Justin, and their one year old, Rose, was at the park. They were waiting on Becky, Adam, JJ, Jake, and Katie to join them so they could all have a wonderful picnic. Clare smiled as she saw Eli and Justin running around the park, playing catch with the football. She was happy that she finally found someone to be with her. She was happy that she was comfortable in this relationship. Yes, their relationship has broken up a marriage, but it was worth it. She knew that Eli and her deserved each other. They both deserved to be happy. They were happy with each other.
Clare looked at her ring finger and smiled, loving how her diamond sparkled in the sun. After Rose was born, Eli had proposed to her right in the hospital. Clare found it odd, but happily accepted. She loved how Eli did weird, cute things. He was perfect for her.
Clare snapped out of her thoughts once she saw Becky and Adam walk over towards her. They took a seat on the blanket and smiled.
Later on, Clare found out that Becky was Luke's twin sister. She had no clue that he even had a sister. Becky had moved to Canada with her father when they were seventeen. She apologized to Clare many times once she found out what Luke had done. Clare told her it wasn't her fault and it was over now.
Things were very good between Adam, Eli, and Clare now. They put everything behind them and looked forward to the future. Adam admitted he no longer had feelings towards Clare and wished them the best. He is very in love with Becky and hope that one day they'll get married and have kids.
Jake, Jake Jr., and Katie walks towards them five minutes later. After JJ gives Clare and Becky a hug, he runs off to play with Eli and Justin. Jake turns to Katie and pouts, along with giving her those puppy eyes.
"Go ahead, Jake," Katie giggles.
Jake kisses Katie on the head and runs off to join the others.
"Adam, don't you wanna go hang with the guys?" Becky asks.
"Sure," he says, getting up and running towards the boys.
"So, how is everyone?" Clare asks.
"I'm great. Adam is such a wonderful person and I'm just glad I have him all to myself. He's such a gentleman and treats me like a queen. I couldn't have asked for anything more."
"Aww," Katie and Clare chorused.
Becky blushed and turned towards Katie. "And how are you?"
"I-I'm good. I think I am pregnant with our second child."
"That's great!" Clare said.
"I cannot wait until Adam and I have a child! Seeing you two with kids makes me want one now."
The girls laughed then turned to Clare.
"How are you, Clare?" Katie asked.
"I'm wonderful. I still feel awful about breaking up a marriage, but I don't regret it."
"Good, you shouldn't regret it. You deserve to be happy, especially after what you've been through," Katie said,
"Yeah," Becky agreed.
Clare smiled and turned her attention to Rose, was stirring in her sleep. She kissed her lightly on her forehead and began rocking her gently.
"Let Auntie Katie hold her," Katie said.
"OK, be careful. I want her to stay asleep."
"Clare, I've had a child before. I know what to do."
Clare shook her head and handed Rose to Katie. She excused herself from the girls and ran with towards the boys. She tiptoed near Justin before grabbing him from behind and spinning him around.
"Ahhh!" he squealed, "Mommy!"
Clare laughed and kissed Justin on the cheek before placing him on the ground. She walked towards Eli and wrapped her arms around him. Eli placed a kissed on her lips.
"You know I love you, right?"
Clare smiled and nodded her head. "I love you, too Eli."
"I know," he smirked, "Well, Jake, Adam, and I are about to start barbecuing."
"OK, good. We're hungry."
Eli smirked and kissed Clare on the cheek. Clare walked back towards the girls and sat on the blanket. Rose, who was now awoke, was giggling at Katie and Becky.
"What a wonderful surprise. I didn't expect to see you all here," a familiar voice called out.
Clare turned around to see Wendy standing there with her baby boy and a guy. Clare stood up and moved her curls out of her face. She placed a fake smile on her face, not trying to start any drama.
"Hello Wendy."
"Charles, this the woman I was telling you about," Wendy said, bitterly.
"Oh. She's not anywhere near ugly, Wendy. She's actually-"
"Don't finish that sentence, Charles!" Wendy said, cutting him off.
Eli walked over towards them and wrapped his arms around Clare.
"Hi Wendy, Wendy's guy friend, and little baby Wendy."
"Eli, this is Charles. Charles, this is my ex-husband, Eli. And this little fellow right here is Austin."
"So this is the guy you cheated on me with?" Eli asked.
"Eli, please don't start. We're having a family picnic," Clare said.
"Yeah, listen to your girl, Eli. Don't start with me."
"Wendy, I don't see why you're so bitter now. I gave you the house and moved away from you. What more do you want?" Eli argued.
"I don't want anything, now!" she yelled.
"Come on, Wendy. Let's go," Charles said, grabbing Wendy and pulling her away.
Once they were out of sight, Eli turned his attention towards everyone else. Clare now had Rose in her arms and was shaking her head.
"We're going to go finish cooking," Eli said, taking a step before Clare grabbed him.
"Eli, are you OK?" she asked.
"I'm fine, honestly."
"Eli, we're in this together. I don't want you to hide your feelings from me. I love you and I want this relationship to be healthy before we get married. Don't hesitate to tell me if something is bothering you."
"I know, Clare. Everything is fine, OK? I was just a little shocked to see Wendy here today."
"Well, this is a local park. We was going to run into her one day."
"I know. I'm so glad I have you, Clare," he said softly, before kissing her on the lips.
"I'm glad I have you, too. I can't wait until the day we get married."
"Me either. It'll be a beginning to a new life and I'm glad I'm starting it with you."
