Clementine was disturbed from her sleep once again with the urge to throw up. It had been a consistent occurrence for the past few weeks, so consistent that she had a bucket by her bed. She bolted up, leaning over the bed and threw up into the bucket. She felt hands hold her hair back. Louis had been sleeping in the same bed as her since they got back from the Delta's ship 4 years ago. 

"Again, huh?" he asked, keeping her hair away from her face. Once she had finished, her head hit the pillow again.
"I'm sorry I woke you up." she spoke softly.
"It's okay." he replied, pulling her closer to him. She rested her head against his chest.
"Try to get some sleep. You've not had a lot these past couple of weeks." he said, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. She closed her eyes, praying she wouldn't be woken up again.

"Oh for gods sake, Aasim! Just wake them up!" Violet said, gesturing at Louis and Clementine, who were still peacefully sleeping, arms wrapped around each other.
"But-But that's weird, Vi!" Aasim protested.
"How is it?" Violet asked.
"How would you like to be woken up?" Aasim argued.
"Well, they don't have a choice. Louis has hunting with you soon and Clem has watch in 15 minutes." Violet said.
"Fine..." Aasim sighed, walking into the room. He gently shook Clem.
"Louis, stop..." she mumbled tiredly. Aasim shook her again, this time she opened an eye, seeing that it was Aasim, not Louis.
"Can you wake him up? Last time I tried, he almost took my head off." Aasim said, scratching the back of his neck. Clementine nodded tiredly and turned to face Louis. She gently kissed his nose, and his eyes opened ever so slightly before he leaned forward, and gently pressed his lips against Clem's, completely unaware that Aasim and Violet were there. After he pulled away, he gave his eyes a moment to adjust to his surroundings, and upon seeing Aasim, he let out a heavy sigh.
"Could you be any more creepier?" Louis joked, before rubbing his eyes and sat up. Then out of nowhere, the urge to throw up came over Clementine. She lifted the bucket just in time to catch her vomit. Once again, Louis instinctively held her hair back.
"That's still happening?" Violet questioned. Clementine nodded, before standing up.
"If you're still not feeling good, I can take your watch for you." Violet offered.
"Are you sure?" Clementine asked. Violet nodded.
"Come on man, we need to check the traps." Aasim said to Louis, who was lacing his boots. Louis put his coat on, and pecked Clem on the lips before leaving. Violet sat down beside Clem. A look of panic came over Clem as she realised something.
"Clementine?" Violet asked.
"Violet.... I'm late." she said quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. Violet took a second to realise what she was talking about. Her eyes then widened when she realised what Clem meant.
"Shit, are you sure?" Violet asked.
"Positive... Violet, I'm 99% sure that I'm pregnant." Clementine said.
"...is it Louis's?" Violet asked.
"What? Of course it is! What kind of question is that?" Clementine snapped.
"Sorry, just making sure." Violet said. They sat in an awkward silence before Clementine stood up.
"When will the boys be back?" she asked.
"About an hour." Violet responded.
All Clem had to do now was wait for Louis to get back.

Clementine had been sitting in the courtyard watching Tenn and AJ draw. She heard the familiar sound of the metal clanking of the gates opening. She jerked her head to the side to see Louis and Aasim enter the school. She practically sprinted over to them, embracing Louis in a tight hug. He seemed confused, but returned the hug nonetheless.
"Did you miss me?" he asked, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, but we really need to talk... it's important." Clementine said.
"Okay, give me a minute." he said, and he gave the rabbits he had on his belt to Omar before returning to Clementine.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I can't tell you here." Clementine said. He raised an eyebrow as she grabbed his hand and led him to the music room.
"What's wrong?" he asked, as she shut the door.
"I, um..." Clementine said,  fumbling with her words.
"Please don't be mad..." she said, looking at the ground.
"Why? Should I be mad?" Louis asked in confusion.
"Louis..." she said quietly. She couldn't find the right words to tell him that he was going to be a father. He took her hand and offered her a supportive smile. She took a deep breath before breaking the news to him.
"I'm... I'm pregnant, Lou." she finally said. She felt his grip on her hand loosen. She didn't want to look up to  see what his expression was. The room was silent for a few seconds, Louis processing what he'd just been told. Clementine finally looked up, and instead of rage on his face, it was a warm smile plastered on his face.
"You're not angry?" Clementine asked.
"Of course not... this is amazing! It's a baby, Clementine. Our baby. I can't be mad about that." he said.
"I thought you'd be mad... I thought you'd say that you we-" Clementine began, but was cut off by Louis engulfing her in a hug. Tears fell from her eyes, but they were from pure joy.
"I love you, Clem." Louis said, his voice a whisper.
"I love you too." she replied. Louis placed a hand on her stomach and smiled.
"And I love you, little one.." he whispered.
