Elena sighed heavily and shoved herself back against the many pillows that lay atop Damon's enormous bed, The doctor had told her and Damon that if she didn't rest then she could go into premature labor, and neither Damon, nor Elena wanted that, they wanted a healthy baby, so the doctor had told them that she would be placed under strict bed rest because if she stressed herself out enough again she could go into early labor again, not wanting that she had reluctantly agreed, her stomach was borderline huge, she would often cry to Damon that she felt like a 'fat whale' he would assure her that was not the case, he told her every day when she woke up that she was beautiful, and every night before she went to sleep, after being with Damon for three years she finally believed him, after Stefan left after the homecoming party at Tyler's her and Damon had given up on him, not straight away though, Elena still spent three months hoping he would come back, but he never did, she eventually submitted to Damon's charm, because after all she did love him, his gorgeous blue eyes, his deep brown hair, his muscular body, even though he was a vampire he was an amazing man, when they had found out the news of Elena's pregnancy they had been shocked, happy and worried, but Damon called one of his witch friends to ask some questions about vampire pregnancies, she had assured him that it was the same as human pregnancy, apart from when the baby was born it might need some blood, but only a small amount because it would be more human than vampire, maybe only a quarter vampire, not even half, the witch had said the child might have special abilities like vampires do when it grows older, Elena had been worried about that, asking how the baby would look, again, the witch assured her that the baby would look normal, as if though it was human.

She placed a tentative hand on her stomach and rubbed circles into it, Damon had gone to the blood bank to up his supply, they had wondered whether to have a home pregnancy or a hospital one, because Damon had access to hospital medication because he could compel the doctors to give him antibiotics to help with Elena's pain, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad, perhaps he could feed her his blood after she has given birth or during the process to make the pain ease, because vampire blood has healing agents in it that would surely make her pain disappear.

The baby began kicking, Elena smiled, they had chosen not the know the sex of the baby because Elena wanted it to be surprise, Damon had grumbled some about it, often muttering Salvatore's always produced Males first, Elena had laughed and patted him on the head, telling him that it might be a girl, she secretly wanted to prove him wrong, even though having a son would also be great, she wanted a little girl to dress up and play dolls with, she could relate more to a girl, or maybe she wanted twins, whichever.

She glanced down at her engorged stomach and sighed heavily, she wasn't getting any smaller, and another thing about being pregnant that annoyed her was the vanilla sex she was receiving off of Damon, she had explained many times that sex wouldn't hurt the baby, and he didn't have to go as slow as a grandpa, often in frustration she would push him off and tell him she could probably bring herself more pleasure than he could at that moment, he would scoff and complain about her raging pregnant hormones.

And she would often cry for no reason, she even cried at the sham wow commercial, Damon sat next to her laughing, afterward she had stormed out, claiming he had no sympathy for her and that it wasn't her fault that she was so hormonal.

She gently drifted to sleep with a smile on her face, but shot up when a particular hard kick roused her from her sleep, she pressed a hand to her stomach and smiled, this baby was getting testy, he or she wanted to be out as much as Elena wanted he or she out, she hated referring to the baby as he or she so she decides to call it baby, she wants baby badly, she wants to hold baby in her arms and gush over he or she, Caroline and Bonnie have argued many times with Damon on who's going to be there when Elena gives birth, of course Damon will be there because he is the father, but the girls also want to be there to coach her through it, she grew sad because Jenna had died earlier that year and she wouldn't be there to witness the birth of Elena's first child, so Caroline had offered to be there, as had Bonnie, so if the doctors don't agree she supposes either Caroline or Damon will compel the doctor to let Bonnie stay, it was frustrating really, Elena wanted to cry again, the hormones were becoming too much to bear

"Damn you hormones!" Elena shouted to no one in particular, she heard footsteps downstairs and sat up slightly

"Elena?" she heard Damon call as he climbed the stairs to his bedroom, she began crying because she loved him so much and was grateful that he was there

"Why are you crying 'Lena, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! It's these damn hormones, they won't go away, and I love you and all my friends so much, and I thank you for being here for me! I just can't deal with it all, these emotions all together are too much!" she wailed

He crawled up the bed to her and sat on the bed, pulling her into his lap.

"How can you have me in your lap, I'm so fat, I'm surprised I'm not crushing you! My size is consistent with a whale at the moment!"

"No sweetie, you're not a whale, you're my beautiful pregnant girlfriend, who is very hormonal at the moment, but I think I have something that will make her happy."

She glanced up through teary eyes, he reached behind himself and took a little black velvet box out of his pocket, her eyes widened, was this really happening, since they were on the bed he didn't get down on one knee, he gently opened the box to reveal a gold wedding band with a large blue diamond in the middle with many white diamonds around it.

"It was the ring my father gave to my mother; I want you to have it now."

He gently took her and looked up at her

"Elena Angela Gilbert, will you marry me?"

The tears began flowing again, she nodded and began sobbing with happiness

"YES! I'll marry you! I love you so much!" she wailed again, he smirked and slid the ring onto her finger.

They lay together all night talking about their future together, and names for baby, which made Damon laugh when she mentioned she was calling it baby now instead of he or she, or it for that matter, she kissed him once before resting down to drift to sleep, he rested his head next to hers and followed after her into a deep peaceful sleep.

Okay so I watched homecoming today, I know this has nothing to do with it but that scene between D and E made me want to write this because she is starting to love him and he definitely loves her, so I fit pregnancy into the equation, hope you like

Now here's the million dollar question, should I continue?
