Like I'm gonna lose you (Clawen)

The Hybrids

8 Months later.

OWEN'S POV

Claire is huge now, she due to start maternity leave in couple of weeks. I'm starting to get really nervous about becoming a Dad plus work is adding more pressure. There have been rumours about the hybrid some say it's a sharks others say it can shape shift. If I'm honest I think it's just some dumb fish. "Owen" Claire shouted from downstairs. Oh sh!t, oh sh!t, oh sh!t. Claire's going into labor, sh!t. I rushed into the kitchen to find Claire. "We're out of Nutella" she wailed at me. "Claire Elizabeth Dearing, I thought you were going into labor. Don't do that again!" I stressed although I was relieved she was about to give birth. "Okay, I won't" she said scrapping the last of the chocolate spread out.

I drove us to work, anxious about Claire. She looked as if she would pop at any moment. "Owen don't look so nervous, I'm not due for another 2 weeks" Claire laughed lightly at me. "I know but I need to be there when you do go into labor" I sighed. "I know, I know and you will; trust me" Claire tried to reassure me. When we arrived I walked Claire to the control room, you know just in case. I kissed her goodbye before heading back down the lift.

As I exited on to the hallway I saw Kevin Masrani. "Owen, just the man I wanted to see" He smiled. I hated him and he hated me, why is he now making an effort to be nice to me. Kevin obviously wanted a big favour. "I was wondering if you would be interested in training the new hybrid" he smirked. I bit my tongue, there had to be some kind of catch or he wouldn't be grinning like a Cheshire Cat. "What's the catch?" I said sourly. "Oh you know, only your job would be on the line and it would be such a shame to be made redundant especially as you have a baby on the way" Mr Masrani had a devilish look in his eyes.

I clenched my fists, I just wanted to punch him. "Fine. When do I start" I reluctantly agreed. I knew Claire wouldn't like this but I had no choice. "Good choice, you start now. Follow me" Mr Masrani was so smug. I begrudgingly follow him to the pool enclosure sectioned off from the public for the time being. I peered over the pool to get a look at the hybrid but all I could see were 3 fins sticking out the water. "What is it?" I asked stepping back. "Well, they are shark based with dolphin strains for intelligence and the rest is classified" Kevin said. "There's more than one?" I asked cautiously, "errm, is there a specific shark base? I added. "There are 3 of them and like I said it's classified" he responded assertively. I gritted my teeth, how can he expect me to get in the tank without knowing what they're capable of! "Well, I'll leave you to it and don't worry if anything happens the implants will shock them" Kevin smirked before leaving.

CLAIRE'S POV

I am so fed up with pregnancy, I need to give birth. I should of started maternity leave but I told Owen I still had a couple of weeks left. I got so bored at home, I needed to be at work. We were now open to the public and we're doing well but Masrani is insisting to reveal the hybrid. "Lowery, get the CCTV on the hybrids enclosure" Mr Masrani said striding into the control room. "Why" I snapped, "Oh, I just need to see how our new trainer copes" Kevin replied smugly. "I was unaware that we had a new trainer" I muttered. Mr Masrani just ignore my comment and kept his attention on the monitor. I watch as the trainer was lowered into the tank. Oh my god, that's Owen. What the hell is he doing. "Is...is that..." Lowery mumbled before I cut him off. "Owen." I felt so sick, I know that Owen feels the same way that I do about the hybrids. Why was he about to get in the tank with them.

"He's done so well with the dolphins, Mr Grady seemed liked the perfect man for the job" Mr Masrani watched amused. "They could kill him!" I raised my voice. I was trembling in fear for Owen. "It's fine they have shockers" Kevin said bluntly. I turned my head I couldn't watch. "Wh..what are they doing" Lowery sounded nervous. I turned my head back round to see 3 hybrids circling around Owen. Mr Masrani began to look anxious, "use the shockers" he ordered. I felt the colour drain from face. "I said use the shockers" Kevin said almost shouting. "They're not working" Lowery's voice was panicky. "OH MY GOD! GET HIM OUT OF THERE NOW" I shouted. Keep calm, Claire everything is going to be fine. "Owen, get out of there now" Vivian spoke calmly into the intercom but with urgency. The Sharks started to close in. Oh my god. "Owen get out of there NOW" Vivian said again.

I felt a tight pain in my stomach. Splash. My waters had broken. Oh my god. I had gone into panic mode. "Get Owen now!" I screamed. Lowery jumped up and ran out. Mr Masrani was shouting at Owen through the intercom whilst Vivian helped me to a seat. I didn't realise but I was crying. I need Owen now, he had to get out. "Is there anyone you want me to call" Vivian asked politely. "No, don't say that, Owen's gonna be here" I snapped at her. "Sorry" she mumbled. I looked up at the monitor to see Owen trying to get near the edge but struggling as the Sharks were still circling him. My contractions were getting worst. "Breathe" Vivian said trying to comfort me. I gave her look that said what do you think I'm doing.

A/N: Hey guys I hoped you liked it. Owen is in a life or death situation and Claire is going into labor!!! I started school tomorrow so I will be slower with the updates.
Bye for now ✨
