Elena's p.o.v
Tonight the stars guide me back to the place where I lost my firstborn. Roslyn's Abbey was named after my premature stillborn baby girl, Roslyn Salvatore. Numerous birth
defects cost Roslyn her life. Hope helped Damon and me to survive that horrible dark period. I gave birth to two more babies, Tabitha "Tibby" and Shakespeare "Pierce"
since then. Here I am tonight at Roslyn's Abbey hoping to relive history all over again. Heavily pregnant, I walk through the front doors accompanied by Damon and
Bonnie. Stefan is looking after Tibby and Pierce at home. Meanwhile, painful contractions hit my body like an earthquake. I find it hard to keep my balance. My midwife,
Bonnie offers me a birthing stool. Damon massages my stiff shoulders. His encouraging words give me strength. Candles burn transforming the atmosphere into a
romantic environment, the perfect mood to bring forth another life. I drip pools of blood, sweat and tears. Who knew giving birth would be so difficult? My screams search
the heavens for relief. Sadly, no relief came during my time of suffering. I beg Bonnie to perform a spell that can ease my pain. She refused to perform a spell because she
believed my pain is temporary and will eventually go away."Elena, please stop pushing" Bonnie demands. "Why?!" I panic in the mist of a terrible contraction. "The
baby is in a transverse position. I need to shift the baby so it can fit through the birth canal" she explains. "Will Elena and the baby be alright?" concerned, Damon asks.
"Yes, Elena and the baby will be alright" the witch doctor assures him. Bonnie shifts the baby in which increases my pain even more. I use all of the strength in my body
to deliver the baby and placenta. Lifelessly, I watch on as Damon cuts the umbilical cord and Bonnie cleans up our son. Tired, my arms grow limp holding Casper for the
first time. "Stay with me, baby" Damon commands holding me close. "I love you" losing consciousness, I whisper. I see Damon cry for the first time in my life. Bonnie
performs cpr, but my heartbeat still decelerates. Roslyn and my parents appear before me. They take me home to heaven where I know no sorrow.
Elena's Flashback
Crying waterfalls, I swim in a bloodbath tonight. The ghosts of the abbey witness my suffering, but they don't offer any help. I am only six months pregnant. The birth
shouldn't be happening right now. "Push, Elena, Push" my midwife and Jeremy's girlfriend, Bonnie demands. "I can't do this. Its too early" fearful, I complain. "The baby is
coming right now. You don't have a choice. Now push" Bonnie pressures me. Obediently, I deliver my firstborn in which is a girl. Damon and I decide to name her Roslyn
because she is as beautiful as a rose. Sadly, Roslyn's life here on earth is cut short due to numerous birth defects. We bury her outside in the church's cemetery. Who knew I
would give birth then bury my baby on the same day? The pain is just too much that I vow to never become pregnant again. Bonnie's encouraging words and Damon's kisses
changes my mind eventually.
