CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

Tyler's POV

Weirdly after finding out about Rachel, I'm really calm. At first don't get me wrong I felt guilty and hatred but Clara helped me to cool down. The rest of the week, we have all discussed and Patrick has been doing his best. Clara seems to me busier than usual, but I'm sure it's to do with work. It's the weekend and I'm currently at home alone. Clara's in the bathroom doing god knows what. "Can you hurry up?! I need to pee!" I whine, then I hear her phone wrong and she curse. She runs out, "I've got to go, love you" She gives me a peck and grabs her back.

I walk into the bathroom and was about to pee when I saw something in the bin...a pregnancy test? I pick it up to see it's negative. I wonder why she didn't say anything. Hmm. I wash my hands and finally pee. And oh my god it felt amazing to empty the bladder. I hear some padding and see Rocky next to me. I zip up fast then see Elijah walk up to me. He looks at me with the face.

"You've done the dirty haven't you?"

Eli just looks at me with a bored face. Yep he did. I pick him up and smell his diaper to smell the worst thing ever. "So your basically a child genius but still haven't figured out how to use the toilet? I thought I raised you better" I shake my head and take him to his room. I change his diaper and bring him downstairs with me. We sit in his play pen and I get out his blocks, some of his books and the iPad. We spend the next three hours together. I get us food and Rocky joins us.

Watching Eli play is the best thing ever, I'd love another child. It would be the best experience ever, and I'm sure Eli would love another sibling. "Would you like to be a big brother?" I ask him as he puts the blocks together. He looks up and tilts his head confused. "A big brother, mummy has another baby?" I get the iPad and get a picture of a family. I can't expect him to understand but it seems like he does.

"Yes" He says cutely and goes back to playing his games. His curly hair dark hair is adorable, I'm happy Clara doesn't want to cut it yet.

We keep playing then we go into the garden. I get his football out and we all sit down. I throw the ball across the yard, Rocky running and catching it. He comes back and drops it, then I tell Eli to throw which he does. After a while I can see he is bored so I take him back in and give him his book. He looks weirdly excited, but I love it.

Clara's POV

This morning I wanted to do a test. I've been feeling nauseous but found out it was negative. I doubted the results so I went to the doctors and it was the same results. I felt disappointment, I get Eli is still very young but it would be nice to have another one running around. I just don't know how Tyler may feeling about this. I'm still on the pill so I shouldn't have been surprised nor disappointed by the results...it just felt like it could be.

I'm currently on my way to Lees. I texted her this morning that I need an Emergancy road trip. Aka drive to anywhere. She immediately calls me as usually we do this at the end of the month. When she did I ran out the house telling Tyler I needed to go. I felt guilty but I need to get my thoughts sorted.

I texted Amber and Mel to meet me there. Once I park up, I walk upstairs into Lees apartment and see the other two sitting. "I need you guys' help on something"

I turn around Lees walking towards me with concerned filled eyes, "Spit it out then. You got me scared!"

"I think I want another baby, but I don't know how to tell Tyler. But then again I don't want to go through that pain again...and the first kid we had was by accident! She wasn't ready! I don't know what to do! I've been busy helping to find Rachel and there's also work on my shoulders. Fuck sake! I don't know what to do. I just-I just want a family, and this isn't the only thing...I want to marry her Lee...I want to marry Tyler!" I ramble everything out and finally look Lee in the eyes after I stop pacing. The look on her face being pure shock. She then smiles widely and hugs me.
