Like I'm gonna lose you (Clawen)

Telling Owen

OWEN'S POV

I woke up around 10:30pm, I had crashed out at 6:00pm. I checked my phone: 1 missed call and 1 new answer phone. Claire. My heart was racing. I was kicking myself for being asleep when she called. I unlocked my phone and dialled the answer phone straight away. "You have 1 new message. Received today at 9:16pm" the dial tone spoke. Then Claire's voice came to my ears. "Owen...I need you" she croaked before bursting into tears. I wanted nothing more than to hold Claire tight and tell her everything was alright. I hated seeing her upset. I stuffed my clothes back into the suitcase and slipped the ring in my pocket. I went down to the lobby to check out. I had to go and see Claire. I started the car up and drove straight to her house. Nothing was going to stop me.

As I pulled up outside, doubt started to fill my mind. Maybe this was a bad idea. I sat in the car with my hands shaking. I pulled out my phone and listened to the voice mail again. It broke my heart hearing Claire cry. I took a deep breath and got out the car. I grabbed my suitcase and opened the door with my key. I heard sobs coming from upstairs. "Claire?" I called out nervously. I sobs stopped immediately. Claire soon came into view at the top of the stairs. I dropped my bag and ran to embrace her. "Claire, I'm so so sorry" I whispered into her hair. "I'm sorry too, I still love you" she hiccuped. I kept my arms wrapped around Claire I didn't want to ever let her go. I pulled away and I got down on one knee. "Claire, will you take me back, I'm a fool for leaving. But I now realise we're not promised tomorrow, that's why I'll love you like I'm gonna lose you" I asked anxiously. I stared into Claire's puffy red eyes for an answer. Claire nodded and hugged me again.

I pulled apart and slipped the ring back on her finger. I planted my lips on hers. I missed her so much. We moved in sync. Claire pulled back breathless, I didn't ever want it to end. "Claire, baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean what I said" I whispered.

CLAIRE'S POV

I couldn't believe that Owen had come back. But I still couldn't bring myself to tell him. "I missed you" I breathed. He leant in and kissed me again. I just melted under his touch. Owen's lips were soft against mine. He gently placed his hand on my face and deepened the kiss. It felt like forever. "You should get some sleep" Owen said lightly stroking my cheek. "So should you" I said trying to stifle a yawn. Owen picked me up and carried me to bed. I was glad he had come back. I snuggled up against him as he wrapped his arms around me. I fell asleep comforted by Owen's heart beat and his warm body.

I woke up on Saturday morning. I thankful I didn't have to go work. I just wanted to be with Owen. I was craving pancakes. I carefully got out of bed trying not to wake Owen. I had to tell him but I didn't want to. Just thinking about it made me want to cry. My phone started buzzing, it was Karen, again. I wasn't going to talk to her until I've told Owen. Which might be a long time. I turned the hob on put the frying pan on. As I poured the mixture on I felt tears roll down my face. I couldn't stop thinking about how Owen would react when I told him. Just then Owen stumbled into the kitchen. "Something smells good" he said. I didn't reply because I didn't want him to know I was crying.

OWEN'S POV

Claire didn't answer me, something was wrong. As I made my way over to her I realised she was crying. "Claire, babe, what's wrong?" I asked concerned. "I...I" she stuttered. Her diamond blue eyes glistened with tears. I felt my heart break. I picked Claire up and sat her on the counter. "Claire, tell me what's wrong" I said softly. Claire mumbled something under her breath. "Huh?" I replied trying to catch her eye. Claire's eyes started welling up and her bottom lip began to quiver. "I'm...I'm pregnant" she blurted out before breaking down into tears. That was big news to me. I was completely shocked. "Hey, babe, don't cry, it's alright" I said pulling her close. "It's...it's not! You said you didn't want kids" Claire sobbed. "Claire, I told you I didn't mean what I said. The thought of me being a father just scares me" I whispered. "I'm scared too" Claire whispered back. "It's gonna be alright, we're gonna be proper family" I smiled. A small crept on Claire's face.

The house phone started ringing. "I'll get it" I said jumping up. "Hello?" I said picking up the phone. "Karen?" I was confused as why she didn't call Claire's mobile. "Oh, hey Owen, has Claire told you yet?" Karen called through the phone. "Yeah, wait, what? How long have you know" I questioned. "Only a couple of days, what about you?" Karen replied. "Oh, you know just coming up to 5 minutes now" I said. "What!!? Put Claire on now!!" Karen's voice shouted through the phone. I walked back in the kitchen, "Karen's on the phone" I said handing it to her. I watched Claire cringe as she put the phone to her ear. I was little hurt that Claire didn't tell me first but then again we had that fight. I couldn't believe I was going to be a father. Claire was carrying my baby. I snapped out of my day dream to realised Claire was explaining to Karen why she hadn't told me sooner. I was hit with a wave of guilt. I had left my pregnant fiancé alone. I'm such an a$$hole. But I'm back now and I'm going to spend every second looking after Claire.
