CLAIRE'S POV

I woke up feeling nauseous again. I felt bad about snapping at Owen. When I turned over there was a note in his place. It read: gone for a run, be back soon. Love Owen xx. A small smile crept on my face. I suddenly felt myself turn green. I ran to the bathroom and threw up again. I was shaking, Owen wasn't here to look after me. I really hoped this isn't going to become a habit. I went downstairs to get a glass of water. Owen was right my behaviour has been rather random lately. I running over the possible reasons, when it suddenly dawned on me. I might be pregnant. I was 3 weeks late, and that would it explain the stomach cramps and nausea. I can't be, it's just staring work again but this time for the devil. I mean Owen and I have never even spoken about having kids. Should I phone Karen? No, that would make things worse. Fxck, I had no clue what was exactly wrong with me and no clue what to do. Just then the door went. Owen. I decided that I wouldn't say anything until I was sure. I dropped my glass and clutched my stomach. "Claire?!" Owen's worried voice rang through my ears. I straighten up and leant against the island as Owen walked in. "Are you alright?" He asked, "yeah" my voice came out way to high pitched. Owen raised an eyebrow, "I'm fine, you just made me jump when you came in" luckily my voice came out normal this time. "Okay, do you want me to help clear the glass up" Owen spoke softly. "No, it's okay, you go and have a shower" I said breaking eye contact with him.

I cleared up the glass before going upstairs to get dressed. I went to the bathroom. I stared at my stomach in the mirror. I couldn't tell if I looked fat or not. I sighed and started doing my hair. I was a lot more conscious about my behaviour and just kept quiet. "I'm sorry about snapping yesterday" I said as I sat down at my dresser. "It's okay, I know the job has stressed you out a bit" Owen replied. Owen and I then downstairs for breakfast. He had cereal as usual and I decided to have a slice of toast and a banana. Even though I was starving, I didn't want to have to explain my peculiar appetite to Owen. A little while later Owen and I left for work.

"Claire" Owen said. "Hmm" I responded trying to focus on driving. "You know, you can tell me anything, right?" He sounded slightly anxious. "Of course, I love you" I said. I was confused at first why he had asked but then I remembered that I haven't been myself lately. "I love you too" Owen said just as we pulled into the car park. Owen decided to walk me to the control centre. As the elevator dinged, Owen and I were greeted with a congratulations banner. I closed my eyes in embarrassment, whilst Owen laughed and took my hand stepping out of the lift. "It was my idea" Lowery said gleefully. "Thanks" I forced at smile. It was bad enough Lowery knowing but now the whole office. Well that's just great. "Well, I have to go now. Thanks Lowery. I'll see you later Claire" Owen pulled me in for a quick kiss before leaving. Everyone was looking at me and there were a few awwws, I felt myself blush. "Okay, everyone back to work" I said before heading off to my office.

My stomach cramps kept getting worse. I thought about telling Owen, but decided it was a terrible idea. It was 12:00 I never normally have lunch but I was starving. I walked out of my office to go to the lunch hall. I then remembered that I had no idea where it was. "Errm, Lowery do you where the lunch hall is?" I asked. Lowery shot me a confused look, "you don't normally have lunch" he said puzzled. "Well that's not telling me where it is" I huffed. "Errm, I am just going now, do you wanna tell me what you want and I'll get it for you" Lowery replied. "That would be great thanks" I smiled. "Could I just a sandwich with some crisps please, oh and a bottle of coke." I said. "Sure thing" Lowery said getting up. "Oh and if they do cupcakes can I you get me one please" I called walking back to my office.

Lowery soon came back with my lunch. "Thank you, so much" I said, "anytime" he replied walking out of my office. I ate my lunch rather quickly. I couldn't concentrate. What if I was pregnant, would Owen leave me? I was really anxious. I had lost track of the time when Owen came in. "Babe, are you ready to go?" He asked. "Yeah, sure one minute" I replied tidying my desk. Owen drove us back home. I was so tired I just wanted to go to bed. I was cuddled up against Owen watching TV. "Claire, is it okay if go out for a couple of drinks with the guys from work?" He asked. "Yeah, you don't have to ask me" I laughed lightly. "I'm just making sure you'll be alright" Owen answered.

I heard Owen pull out the drive way. As Owen had left I went to go down to the corner shop to get some tests. I was really nervous. I had never really thought about having kids. I mean Karen would always say things like "you'll understand when you have kids" and I would reply with if. I had brought 3 different tests to be on the safe side. I look at the first one. It was positive. So was the second and third. Well. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. I chucked the tests in the bin, so Owen wouldn't see them. I burst into tears. What am I going to do. Went upstairs to bed, I didn't want to have to face Owen tonight.

A/N: Hey guys, hoped you like it. Claire is definitely pregnant!!! I will try to update tomorrow morning.
