The next day, June 21st
Claire's POV
I got ready for my second date with Nolan. I got dressed in a more comfortable outfit, yet still cute. I did my makeup and hair and went down stairs. Haven was eating oatmeal and Zealand was watching Blippi on TV. He was in his Blippi stage and I hated it... Though Haven really liked it too.
I got Haven and Zealand in their jackets and put their shoes on. I got Haven buckled in the car and Zealand strapped in his seat. I got in and drove to Eileen's mom's house. I said goodbye and dropped them off, I had to hurry since I said I'd meet him there at 6:30 and it was 6:20. I drove off and got to the theater at 6:28. Nolan was outside the theater, waiting for me. He hugs me
"Hey, I missed you" Nolan says and I laugh
"I saw you yesterday" I say and he smiles
"I still missed you" he says, making me blush
"Me too" I admit and he grabs my hand. We go inside and pay for our tickets and he buys me popcorn and soda... He is such a gentleman. We sit down in our seats. The whole time the movie was playing, all I could think about was how Nolan was going to react to the kids. What if he doesn't want kids? What if he gets mad about hiding them? What if Zealand doesn't like him? All of that was going through my head... I think maybe I should tell him that I had kids... Is it too soon?
I look over at him, who was watching the movie. I grab his hand and he looks at me and smiles. He was so charming, I didn't want to lose him. He might react the same way Henry did when I told him I was pregnant... Why am I thinking about Henry? Henry was a jerk, I didn't care how he reacted, but I care about what Nolan thinks.
I watch the rest of the movie... Well, I slept through the end. I wake up on Nolan's shoulder who was trying to wake me up
"Good morning sunshine" he says with a big smile and I blink a couple times and stare at him
"Is it over?" I ask and he laughs
"Yep, did you have a good nap?" He asks and I rub my eyes. We stand up and I throw my trash away and we exit the theater. We start walking back to my car, but I stop
"Wait" I say and he stops and looks at me
"What is it, love?" He asks... He called me love, how sweet
"I haven't been completely honest with you" I start and he looks at me confused "I... The reason I wanted to come here instead of you picking me up is because..." I stop and start tearing up, he grabs my hands
"What's wrong?" He asks, he was truly concerned
"You're going to hate me and break up with me" I cry and he hugs me. I put my face in his chest as he holds me tight
"I could never" he says "it's only the second date" he adds, giggling and I smile
"I... I'm a mother" I tell him and he goes silent. It was silent until he finally speaks
"Really?" He asks and lets go of me and I nod
"Its ok if you don't want to date me anymore" I tell him and he looks me in the eyes
"I told you I wouldn't leave you" he says and I half smile "and not for a stupid reason like that" he adds
"But I have kids" I tell him and he smiles
"I love kids and always wanted a few of my own" he says and I start clearing up
"You're not mad?" I ask and he shakes his head
"No way" he says and I wipe my tears and smile
"Thank you for being so kind" I tell him and he hugs me again
"I'll always be there for you and I'll always love you" he says. How committed was he? It was only the second date and he was already making me promises
"I love you too" I say and we hug... Until I let go "now I just how to prepare my son" I tell him
"How old is he?" Nolan asks
"4" I reply and he looks down
"Must be hard for the little guy" he says and I nod
"Ever since we've lost Ezra, he's never been the same" I say and he nods "I lost a part of my son when Ezra died" I start crying again and he hugs me
"I don't know your son, but I'm sure he knows how much you love him and would do anything for him" he tells me and I nod
"I would" I say
"It might take some getting used to, but he'll understand" Nolan grabs my hands and looks into my eyes "I'm not leaving you, and I want to be there for you always, I want you to know that there is nothing you can say or do to make me leave" he promises and I smile and hug him.
