Elena held tight onto Damon's arm as they strolled through Central Park a beautiful evening in the autumn of 1945. They had been to dinner and thendecides to take a walk. The night was beautiful and the sky was clear, you could see all the stars.

If you were nearby in the park only 10 minutes later you would be able to see a young woman with dark brown hair sitting on a bench. In front of her was a young raven haired man getting down on one knee. He said something and held out his hand to her. After a few moments later you could hear the young woman squeal and throw her arms around the young man as he lifted her up and spun around. He put her down again and put a ring on her finger.

The ceremony was small with only close friends and family. Both Damon's and Elena's parents were dead and their only close family left was Damon's uncle, Elena's brother Jeremy and her best friends Caroline and Bonnie. The day after the wedding the happy newlyweds moved into Damon's tiny apartment in New York, with just one room, kitchen and bathroom. After his efforts in the submarine in WW2, this tiny little apartment had been the only one he could afford.

Elena opened her eyes and turned around, only to find the deep blue eyes of her beloved staring down at her.

"Good morning." He smiled as he leaned down and kissed her. It was their second morning as husband and wife and he had never been happier. They pulled away and just laid there, staring into each other's eyes for a moment, before Elena got up.

"Where are you going?" Damon complained.

"To make breakfast" she replied. "I'm hungry." She grabbed her robe and walked out of the bedroom into the kitchen.

From his place in bed Damon could see her moving around while making them breakfast. He smiled as he thought of her. She was his. His wife, bound together by law. The only problem right now was money… Before joining the war effort Damon had been an inventor. He had come up with several great things, only nothing people actually wanted to buy. He sighed as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

An hour later Elena started on the dishes as Damon went out to try and sell his newest invention, a special dog collar.

Days became week and weeks became months. They had now been married for 5 months, and they were still very happy. Damon managed to get enough money every week by selling some odd invention to make sure they had everything they needed. He was either at home, working on new ideas, or out trying to sell them all day long.

Elena stayed at home, just like any typical wife would. She made him breakfast, lunch and dinner, took care of the dishes from every meal, cleaned the apartment and washed their clothes. And every once in a while she would have time to turn to her great passion; writing. She wrote small stories that she read to Damon every now and then. She content with her life, she loved her husband and he made her happy. That was all she ever wanted.

"Darling! I'm home!"

Elena jumped up from her seat and greeted her husband by the door.

"Hi" she said before kissing him. "How was your day?"

He smiled and put his arms around her back and brought her back for another kiss. "Brilliant!"

Elena smiled as he let her go to take of his coat and hat. "Dinner's ready in a few minutes."

"I'll just go freshen up then." He smiled at her and kissed her once more before wandering off to the bathroom.

After dinner they laid down on their bed, just enjoying each other's company. Elena snuggled closer to Damon for warmth and he wrapped his arms even tighter around her. He put his nose in her dark brown hair, enjoying her scent.

"Did you manage to sell anything today?" Elena asked.

"Just one of the light bulbs." he sighed. "People seem afraid to try anything new, they just stick with what's worked for them before. They're too scared to be modern."

Elena looked up at him, frowning. If no one wanted to buy his things, soon they would be broke.

"Maybe I should try getting a real job.."

"No, Damon." Elena sat up, looking sternly at him. "This is your dream, what you do best. I don't want you to give that up." She smiled as she caressed his cheek. "We'll manage. It's just the two of us, we don't need much."

"I worry about you. I want to be able to give you everything, everything you've ever wanted."

Elena smiled and kissed him. "You gave me everything I ever wanted the day you married me."

Damon's face brightened up and he pulled her in for another kiss, lowering her back down on the bed again.

Elena sat in the kitchen, clutching the hem of her dress. She was pale and had a worried expression on her face. Her thoughts were everywhere. She was afraid, but at the same time she was overjoyed. When she heard the door open she stood up, but didn't manage to move.

"Hello!" Damon yelled from the door. "Honey?" He took off his coat and hat and hung it up before entering to kitchen, looking for his wife. He found her standing by the table, seeming paralyzed, pale and with some odd look on her face.

"Elena?" he hurried over to her and grabbed her arm. She threw her arms around his neck and held on for dear life. He wrapped his arms around her back and could feel her trembling. "Elena?" he pulled her hands away and held her in front of him to look at her. "Elena, baby what's wrong?"

She swallowed as tears of happiness filled her eyes.

"I'm pregnant."

This was just something I came up with the other day watching this old series I loved when I was a kid. The parents in that story have such chemistry and I just thought of Damon and Elena. So I tried it out, hope you like it! Let me know if you want more of this!
