ELI

I didnt like the doctor, but after the Dr's appt, I knew Clare was happy and I wasnt sure if I wanted to ruin that by telling Bullfrog and Cece

"Clare, honey?" Is said. She had a happieness radiating off of her, that I was afraid to crush.

"Yea?"

"I start at work tomorrow. I am going to start working as a mortition for the funeral home on 4th street." I said. I knew I couldnt ruin her happiness.

"That is so great, Eli!" She said, throwing her arms around my neck. I gingerly wrapped my hands around her waist.

"Do you want to go ahead and tell my parents?" I asked. I had to do it.\

She backed up and froze. "Eli.." She said.

"We have to do it." I said, looking at her.

"Can't we just call them?" She asked, looking at me with a scared look.

"We could, but I would feel better if we told them face to face, Claire, they're my parents." I said. She just kept looking at me "Claire?"

"I guess. Lets get to you're house. I cant go home." She said almost absently.

"Are you okay?" I had to ask her. The tone in her voice told me she was so upset.

"I'm fine, Eli." She said. Horrible liar.

CLARE

Eli wanted to go out and tell his parents right after we found out, and the thought of it scared me, so much. I was only 7 weeks along, so we still had about 8 weeks before we absolutley HAD to tell anyone else.

"Eli..." I said, getting into Morty and buckling my belt.

"Yeah?"

"Are you scared?"

"Of course! Hell yes I'm scared, Clare. This is something we have to go headfirst into, and be ready by July 22nd. We made this thing in october, and its only December. Can you believe we are that far and you didnt even notice? We can make it through this . I promise." He said, and he kissed me. His lips barely brushing mine.

"Okay, honey."

We went back to his house, lucky for us, both of his parents were there.

"Clare?," Bullfrog said "Shouldnt you be in school?"

"Yeah, Mr. Goldsworthy, but um," I said. I didnt know how to say this. "we just came from the doctor's office."

"The doctors office?" His mother said. "Eli, why would you need to go to a doctor's office?"

Cece looked at me. She was such a sweet lady in her own.. punk, biker, dark clothed kind of way.

"Clare... Clares pregnant." Eli said. That was it. We werent going to hide it from them.

Cece had tears rising in her eyes. Bullfrog just looked surprised.

"Are you sure?" Bullfrog said.

"Yes, we're sure. We were just at Dr. Rodger's office. He confimed it. And we got an ultrasound." Eli handed Cece the pictures of our little bean baby.

"I'm seven weeks along." I blurted. Cece looked at me, love in her eyes.

"Well.. only one thing we can do." Bullfrog said.

I wondered. What could that be?

"Dad. You are not announcing our baby on the radio. I know you announce EVERYTHING on your radio station, but you are NOT announcing this." Eli said. I let out a giggle.

"Fine." was all Bullfrog said, crossing his arms over his chest.
