15th January, 2009
Claire woke up feeling sicker than usual. It was almost two weeks since she'd found out she was two weeks pregnant and she was very happy, especially after her visit to Mohinder and he seemingly put her mind at ease when she was worried if the baby was West's or Sam's, because she'd fallen pregnant so soon after being with both of them in quick succession. However Mohinder had told her to be happy, so she assumed he knew the baby was West's.
However, she hadn't told West up to this point about the baby at all. So far she had managed to hide her morning sickness from him, so he really had no clue what was going on with her at all. But today she really wasn't feeling well at all. She wasn't just feeling sick though, her stomach was very sore. As she got out of bed she got such a severe pain it made her double over. She quickly went to the toilet for fear of having a miscarriage, but there was no blood there.
West wasn't at home and she really didn't know what to do. She was really bad, and she felt it was bad enough to go right to the hospital rather than just her local health center. She had nobody to turn to who could get her to the hopsital quick enough, Nathan wasn't able to do much with being in a wheelchair, so there was only Noah left.
Picking up the phone and dialling her home number, it went to the house voicemail as she thought it might, with a bit of luck somebody would be at home and get the message soon enough. "Dad, Mom, anybody" she said, before another pain over came her, "I need hel...." she couldn't get the sentence finished however as another pain hit her, so severe it made her pass out onto the floor.

Noah heard the phone ring as he entered the house first. He tried to make it, to answer it, but he was too late. Waiting for the voice mail to register in the answering machine. He picked up the phone and began to listen to the message. It was Claire, but she didn't sound good. Unfortunately the phone went dead. Something had just happened to his Claire Bear.
Fortunately, he knew where she was, or so he hoped immediately charging through the door, he made his way past Sandra and Lyle and jumped back into the car. Slamming the door, he pulled out of the drive way. The gas to the medal, he sped off toward West's house.
Screeching to a halt in West's driveway, he jumped out of the vehicle. "Claire?!" he yelled. "Claire?!" he repeated. He ran up the sidewalk that lead to the front door. He began to slam his fist against the door.
No one answered and he began to worry about Claire. Reaching down to the door knob he twisted it. But the door was locked. So he had to break in. Turning his right side to the door. He charged at the door, shoving it open. He stumbled in to the house as the door moved to his momentum. Gathering his balance, he began to search for Claire. And there she was fainted on the kitchen floor. He picked her up, after checking her pulse and trying to wake her up. Obviously she didn't wake up, but her heart was still beating.
Carrying her out to the car. He put her upright in the passenger-side seat. Buckling her in, he shut the door beside her. A tear began to roll down his cheek. He couldn't lose his Claire Bear now. He jumped into the drivers seat. Igniting the car, he reversed out of the drive and again the pedal hit the metal.
Half-Hour Later
Noah pulled up right at the emergency entrance. Jumping out of his car, he began to yell. "Help! Help!!" He wrapped around the car and opened the door. Two nurses ran out with a gurney. Noah laid Claire's seemingly lifeless body on it. Nurses left Noah behind as he rubbed the tears out of his eyes.
Then he remembered about West. How they were just at his house. He wondered what Claire was doing at his house without him being there. But knowing Claire, that she would want him there he called him up.

He had been flying around, just trying to clear his head, well, for no particular reason actually, he was really just... flying. He liked just flying, he liked the fact that he was like Superman, well, without the superspeed, freeze breath, heat vision, and all that. He liked the fact that he could just, fly.
Of course, things got more stressed when you have your girlfriends dad calling you telling you she is at the hospital, that she passed out. "I'll be right there" He said, putting his phone in his pocket and flying at the fastest speed he could, straight for the hospital.
He landed at the entrance to the emergency ward, and just bolted. When he got to the reception, he asked for Claire Bennet's room, assuming that that's what Noah would have put her under, and ran straight there.
"Whats wrong with her?" He said, running into the room and asking Noah. Hopefully, he could tell him, West couldn't stand seeing her like that.

The last thing Claire remembered was collapsing onto the floor of her kitchen after calling home to see if anybody could have taken her to the hospital. She had missed Noah come to the door, knocking on it, breaking it in to get her, and taking her all the way to the hospital in the car. She had been out for the whole time of it.
However, now she was beginning to stir again, but she was still in considerable amount of pain, which was weird because she hadn't been able to feel physical pain since Gabriel had taken her power from her. But she was feeling this and it was agony. Pulling at the mask on her face, she slowly looked around with her eyes.
"What's happening to me, what's wrong?" she asked in panic. The doctor realising she had woken up, gave her a calm smile.
"It's alright, keep calm" she began. "My name is Patricia, I'm a mid-wife" she continued.
"Mid-wife?" Claire asked in a confused voice, "But, I'm not..." she trailed off, as she watched the doctor's expression change.
"Claire, you were pregnant" she said softly as she took Claire's hand, "What you are experiencing are pains from what we medically call an ectopic pregnancy, do you know what that is?" she explained to Claire asking her the question.
Claire shook her head slowly, tears in her eyes. "No, can you explain?"
"Of course. An ectopic pregnancy is when the foetus begins to develop in the fallopian tube instead of the womb, it means the egg was fertilised after it had come out of your womb and would have been your next period" the doctor began her explanation. "However, when an egg gets fertilised in the fallopian tube, the soon as the feotus begins to grow, expand, the fallopian tube doesn't have the capacity to stretch like the womb can, so it causes massive pains and discomfort, and if not caught soon enough can actually kill" she gently explained some more.
"So we will have to do an emergency abortion of that pregnancy" she finished her explanation removing her hand from Claire after gently squeezing it. "I'm sorry" she added. Claire was now sobbing her heart out, the thought of having West's baby would have been wonderful.
The doctor then left the room to go and speak to Noah and West who were standing outside.
"Mr Bennet" she addressed Claire's father, and then acknowledged West with a smile, "Her brother?" she asked, because she obviously didn't know.
"Anyway your daughter has suffered what we call an ectopic pregnancy, it's where the foetus begins to grow in the fallopian tube instead of the womb, it can in some circumstances kill the woman, your daughter has been lucky enough to come in with this extremely fast, we will have to perform an emergency abortion on her to save her life" the Mid-Wife explained to Noah and West with a sad smile.
"This signs of an ectopic pregnancy don't usually show until the foetus is at least eight weeks, so she must have been at least two months pregnant, if you excuse me, we have to get this surgery done as soon as possible. I'm afraid you'll have to continue to wait outside" she said softly. She then went back into the room to where Claire was.
"Now Claire, you've experienced this pain because you were at least eight weeks pregnant" she said calmly and we'll soon have this pain stopped for you.
"But I couldn't have been as far on as eight weeks..." she trailed off, that would mean it was Sam's baby and not West's. She then began to think maybe it was for the best, she wouldn't have wanted Sam's baby anyway given the current circumstances now.
The Mid-Wife then gave Claire an injection which sent Claire into a deep sleep within a few moments and then she began the procedure. After an hour it was complete. Patricia then went back out to where Noah and West were waiting.
"You can both go into the room now, she'll wake up soon and everything should be okay, but we'd like to do a further scan now just to make sure" she said to them, as she went back into the room and held the door open for them both.

Noah stood next to West as the mid-wife doctor appeared and explained what was going on. He couldn’t believe this. Was Claire actually pregnant by Sam? How more ironic can this get, he thought. Noah looked over at West, then back to the doctor. “Thanks for keeping us updated.” Then she left for an hour.
An hour or so had passed before the saw the same nurse. The nurse informed them on how the procedure went and that they could go see her. Noah smiled at what he heard, then followed the lady in. He walked up to Claire, waiting for her to wake.

West was a bit, shocked as the mid wife explained what was going on with Claire. Firstly, when she asked if he was her brother, he cut her off instantly. "Im her husband" He told her, harshly, watching her look at him almost unapprovingly.
As she explained to Noah and West what was going on, West was starting to get emotional, angry. "Well stop bloody talking about it and get her into surgery!" He said, his voice raised, almost yelling.
It only got worse when she said that Noah and West would have to wait outside. "No way!" he told her. "Im staying with her, you can't stop me" He said to her, this time, it was yelling, he had to shove the security guard off him as he came over, noticing that West was getting angry.
The midwife walked into Claire's room, and the security guard held West in a tight grip, preventing him from moving. To his luck, his grip was loosened on his right arm, and he managed to swing a fist at the guard, hitting him in the face.
When the guard dropped his arms to cover his face, West ran to the door of Claires room, to the side of her bed. "Claire, your going to be ok" He said to her. "Im going to stay with you the whole time" He said, but the guard came in and dragged him out of the room. "You'll be fine, Claire" He said, getting cut off as the door was closed by the midwife.
After about an hour however the mid-wife was back out and speaking to West and Noah, telling them that everything had gone well and they could now go into the room.
"About time" West snapped, as he ran into the room beside Claire who wasn't awake from the minor operation yet.

The mid-wife didn't say anything to the young man who was actually her husband and not her brother as he went off on a rage at her for not allowing them into the room. He was obviously upset at his young wife's current position, so she didn't see any need to make him feel any worse than he already did. However she was glad when the procedure was over and could allow both the men waiting outside into the room.
"As I said earlier we have to do another scan just to make sure that everything is clear" the mid-wife explained and then she put some gel on Claire's stomach and moved the scan paddle over her stomach. Pointing to the screen she said, "This is where the other foetus was growing which is the wrong place, it could have killed her if she hadn't been brought in when she was" she explained.
She then moved the scan paddle over her womb and that's when there was a faint sound of a second heartbeat. "That can't be right" the mid-wife muttered, not too loudly but probably loud enough for them to hear.
Just at that moment Claire began to come around, pushing herself up onto the bed slightly.
"What's wrong, is everything alright?" she asked slowly as she looked from the mid-wife to West and round to Noah, smiling weakly at both of them.
"Well we just removed a foetus from your fallopian tube which was causing your problems, the ectopic pregnancy you were made aware of when you were brought in?" she started to explain, and took in a breath and smiled, "but it would seem you are still pregnant Claire" she said as she ran the scan paddle over her stomach again.
"Yes you definitely are still pregnant and this foetus looks as if it's only about four weeks old" the mid-wife said with a smile.
Claire looked from Noah to West, and then grinned, "I'm still pregnant, that must mean it's your baby" Claire said to West. It had to be. She hadn't been with Sam like that since early December. Claire began to cry, the emotions had got the better of her. First she had a baby die, and now she still had a baby in her.

Noah understood why West was putting up such a fight to see Claire, but once he punched the security guard he knew West went to far. Thankfully, West went without a fight as he was taken out of the room. An hour later the nurse returned, West gave a quick comment. Hearing this, Noah shot a look of disgust to West. “West. Now that was uncalled for.” he said as he entered the room.
Claire had finally awoke as the Mid-wife began to explain the situation. Noah sighed as he found that procedure and he was glad. But then as the nurse put a scan over Claire’s stomach, confusion settled in. Claire was still pregnant. And obviously West was the father to be. He smiled over to West as Claire looked over to West from after looking at him.
“Four weeks, and it’s Wests. Dang Claire you bounce back fast.” Noah joked.

Mr. Bennet gave him a mouthful as he said 'about time'. West almost gave him one back, but held onto it, it wasn't the time or place. When the mid wife said Claire was still pregnant, West knew it had to be his, which was great.
"Yes!" he said, excitedly, but it was immature, and he knew it. "I can't believe your pregnant with my child" He said. He was honestly happy about it, and couldn't wait.

Claire couldn't believe after everything she been through she was still pregnant and the good thing was West seemed happy about it and so did her dad Noah. Which was sort of strange, considering he was going to be a grandfather. So was Nathan. Oh, she'd have to tell Nathan she was pregnant too. Claire had heaps of thoughts going through her mind but the main one was that she was healthy, still pregnant and very happy. Which was weird given that she was in pain earlier and upset at having lost a baby.
When Noah commented on her bouncing back fast, she could only laugh.
"I'd rather like to call it a miracle" Claire said with a smile as she touched her stomach with her hand. She looked at West who seemed to be very joyous about the idea. "It's great isn't it?" she asked him with a smile, but she really didn't have to ask that question, the look on his face and his reaction was enough proof he thought it was wonderful.
"So, how you feeling granddad?" she asked Noah as she looked at him with a grin. She was teasing him, she just hoped he knew that.

Noah was glad that Claire was pregnant again. Not just for the fact that he would be grandfather, but it lifted Claire’s mood right back up again just after her first kid died. Just like he said before, she jumps back fast. He laughed to himself as he thought of it. “I am proud of you, Claire Bear.” he said as he approached her and began to caress her forehead.
“But I should leave you to alone.” he smiled over to Claire and then to West. Then turning on his heel he began to make his way out of the room. Opening, the closing the door behind him.

Claire was laughing and mucking around, which made West feel good. He laughed when she called Noah grandad, it was going to be funny, getting used to Noah as his father in law. Well, it was going to be hard altogether, half the time, he got the feeling that Noah didn't like him most of it.
Noah decided it was time for him to leave, and he left, leaving Claire and West to talk. "I can't believe we are having a child" He said to her. He just waited in the room, looking at his beautiful wife, the love of his life and soon to be mother of his child.

Claire smiled at Noah when he said he was proud of her and began to caress her forehead. "Thanks dad" she said in a warm voice and taking his hand in her own for a few seconds. "I'm proud of you too" she said softly. However a few minutes later he then said that he should leave her and West alone. She didn't mind having Noah there, but it would be good to have some alone time with West to celebrate their news.
"Bye dad, thank you for taking care of me" Claire said, not that she had to thank him for something he would have automatically done as a parent anyway, and then she watched him walk out of the room leaving them both.
When West said he couldn't believe that they were going to have a child Claire just smiled again. "I know it's amazing isn't it?" she asked, as she gently put her hand on her stomach and placed West's hand on top of her own.
