OWEN'S POV

I was pacing up and down the waiting room. Claire had to be alright. "Owen Grady?" A doctor asked standing in the doorway. "That's me" I said jogging up to him. "We struggled to keep the baby, there was a small complication with Ms Dearing" the doctor's eyes were full of sorrow. Oh my God! This can't be happening. My legs felt like they were about to buckle and my heart felt heavy in my chest. "But, luckily you got to us in time, she going to need some time to recover but I can happily tell that both Ms Dearing and her baby are going to make it" he spoke calmly. "You know, you should really start with the good news" I said lightly. The doctor smiled a little at my humour. "Can...can I go see her?" I asked timidly. "Right this way" the doctor lead me down the corridor. I had to see Claire. We finally came to Claire's room; I automatically reached for handle but the doctor stopped me. "We think it might have been cause by too much stress, it was a dangerous amount because she's pregnant. However part of it may have been motion sickness if you were travelling before hand. Just try and distract her from whatever she's stressed about" the doctor said before walking off.

I opened the door to find Claire asleep in the bed. I sat in the chair next to her and broke down in tears. I was so relieved that Claire was gonna be alright. I held her fragile hand and kissed it gently. It horrible listening to the machines beep as Claire just laid there, steadily breathing. I was going to stay here so Claire wouldn't be alone when she woke up. She looked so calm and peaceful.

I had my head in my hands. I was lost without Claire, I so badly wanted to hear her voice. Hear her call me Owen. I could almost hear her now. Owen. There is was again, I shot my head up. Claire was trying to sit up. "Claire" I gasped. I helped Claire sit up properly. "Wh...what happened?" Her voice was wavering. "Am I gonna be okay? Is our baby gonna be okay?" Claire's voice was threatening to break into sobs. "Shh, shh, everything is fine. You're gonna be okay and so is our baby" I held her hand to try and get her to relax.

"Claire, I think you need to take some time off work" I said staring into her crystal orbs. "But...but" Claire stuttered out. "Only a couple of weeks or so. It's not forever and you need the rest" I spoke gently. Claire turned away from me and didn't say anything. I knew she wouldn't like it but it was for her own good. Claire let out a sigh before facing me again, "Okay, it's not forever" she spoke softly. Just then the doctor came back. "Good, you're awake. How are you feeling Ms Dearing?" He asked clicking his pen. "I have a headache but I'm fine. Can I go home now?" Claire replied. The doctor scribbled a few notes on his clip board before answering, "Unfortunately we have to keep you over night, for observation" He showed little sympathy for Claire and that angered me. I glared at him as he left, leaving Claire and I alone once again.

CLAIRE'S POV

I just wanted to go home with Owen. It was so unfair. "Owen, can you stay please" I asked. "I wouldn't think of leaving you" he answered before planting a firm kiss on my lips. "I'm sorry" I mumbled. "For what?" Owen asked peering into my eyes. "For this, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be spending your day here" I said. "Claire, it's not your fault; you don't need to apologise" Owen smile melted my heart. I know Owen told me not to worry but I couldn't help it; it's what I'm good at. I couldn't stop thinking about what Henry and Kevin were planning for this unknown hybrid. "You're thinking about it, stop it" Owen said sternly catching me off guard. "I wasn't" I lied, "Then why are you smiling?" He asked smugly. I bit my lip, "Errm, am I not allowed to smile or something?" I replied struggling to hold back my smile. Owen shook his head and started chuckling. "Why are you laughing at me?" I pouted. "You're too cute" he beamed at me. I felt myself blush, how is it that he can make me feel like a school girl.

"You must be starving, do you want me to go and get you something to eat?" Owen asked. It was getting quite late and I hadn't eaten since breakfast. "That would be great, thanks" I grinned. "I'll be back soon" Owen gave me a kiss before leaving. I hated hospitals, that made me so anxious. No one is ever in a hospital for a good reason. So for that reason they stress me out and that should be a good enough reason for me to go home. I was starting to get a small bump. It completely messed with my emotions. I was over the moon to be starting a family with Owen but I was also petrified. The thought of giving birth terrified me and pregnancy scared me.

Owen soon came back with with some food. "Babe, try and get some sleep" Owen said tidying our plates aside. "Okay" I replied, "Wait, what's happening tomorrow? I mean you still have to go to work tomorrow" I added. "I'm going to take you back home and I will have to go to work but Karen said she would come round" Owen said squeezing my hand. I smiled at him, I loved how much he care. "I love you" I whispered. "I love you too, but now you need to sleep" Owen said kissing my forehead. "But I can't sleep without you" I pouted. Owen rolled his eyes at me. "Pleaseee Owennn" I whined. "Fine" Owen gave in and climbed next to me. He wrapped his arms around me, I felt safe with Owen. I slowly fell asleep pressed against his warm body.
