This is a new story that i started writing as a result of TVD withdrowal on Friday, just something short and sweet to start us off the rest of the chapters will be much longer I promise, hope you enjoy :)
Elena held her new baby to her chest while it slept, gently caressing the baby's cheek. Damon sat on the edge of the bed, his arm around them both as the baby gripped onto his finger with a surprising amount of strength for her small size. 'Just look at her.' Elena said, quite pointlessly in Damon's opinion as he couldn't take his eyes off the tiny sleeping child. 'She's perfect.' Elena rested her head against Damon's chest, letting herself close her eyes for a moment. Every muscle in her body was still shaking and she was exhausted from the 18 hours of effort involved in bringing her daughter into the world. If Damon hadn't been there holding her hand and talking her through it from that very first contraction, she doubted she would have survived the ordeal. It was all worth it though. Just to be able to see and hold her baby, finally after all these time, made the entire journey worth it. 'You know, we still need to come up with a name for her.' She murmured, opening her eyes just enough to see the blue eyes above her. Damon contemplated for a moment, and Elena felt his muscles tense ever so slightly, brows furrowing as he drew in a breath. 'What about… Stefanie?' he suggested.
'Stefanie? With an F?' He nodded. 'Stefanie.' She echoed, the name rolling off her tongue. 'Stefanie Martina Miranda Salvatore. I like it.' She couldn't stop herself giggling, and his muscles relaxed, relieved, 'our little Stefanie Salvatore.'
It was then, while the relief and anxiety of the past few months washed through them as they watched their child sleep, a timid knock from the door frame caught their attention. 'Jeremy.' Damon smiled. 'Come meet your goddaughter.'
