Drunk Love

Part 10

Clara POV
I need to tell him.
I can't just keep a secret like this.
In a few weeks I'll start showing and then... Fuck.
FUCK.
It can't be too hard to tell my boyfriend that I'm actually pregnant, after the gynecologist told us I wasn't, with a cross breed between a time lord and a human.
Fuck.

I curl in a ball, in a pit if self hate for being so reckless.
All my life I've been told to use a condom and birth control. And now I go and screw the doctor without either. I COULD HAVE AN STI FOR ALL I KNOW!

Doctor POV
Slinking into bed, I try and calm myself down. I fall into a deep sleep after pulling the downed blanket over my body.

Clara POV
He's sitting in front of me drinking his coffee.
He didn't even look at me, let alone touch me. I slept curled up on my side of the bed while he lay, his back facing me, on the other. I had to hold in my sobs as he slept quietly.

I'm going to tell him.

"Urhm, Doctor?" I mumble quietly.
"Mhm?" He replies, barely audible. He looks up, a glint of, what looks like hope, in his greeny-brown eyes.
"I-I-I'm..." Staring at the floor I trail off.

Doctor POV
This has got to be it. She's going to tell me.
"I love you!" Unintentionally, the words spurt out of my mouth.
She begins to cry. No, sob. I watch her crumple underneath whatever she's going through.

Clara POV
"I'm pregnant..."
I mumble underneath my heavy sobs.
"I'M PREGNANT! HOW COULD I LET THIS HAPPEN I CAN'T BE PREGNANT!" I scream.

I feel his arms wrap around me and a sense if warmth spreads through my chest.

He is here. He loves me. Everything will be okay.

He whispers words of comfort into my ear. His thimble tracing circles on my lower back. I sit up and he presses his lips gently against mine.
Him. He's the only one that can make me feel so secure during anything. As long as I have him everything is going to be alright.
I will be alright.
We will be alright.
