It was a miracle…they'd actually managed to find the cure…Damon and Elena had taken it together. They were both human. But that had been over a year ago. Since then, Damon had proposed, they'd gotten married and even managed to complete their first semester of college together.
Damon had a weekend class exploration trip for one of his classes and was leaving in a few hours. As he packed, Elena walked into the bedroom and wrapped her arms around him from behind, kissing his shoulder blade. "I'm going to miss you." she pouted softly. Damon turned around facing her. He moved, laying back on the bed and pulling her down on top of him. "I don't have to go…" he said. "Yes you do. We're regular college students now. Who have to go on class trips worth a fourth of our grade." she said, leaning down to kiss him. "You sure you'll be okay here all by yourself for three days? I know you've been feeling under the weather." he said, tucking her hair behind her ear. "It's just a cold. And I'll be fine. I'll lock the door and watch girly movies and eat junk food. I'll be fine." she assured him.
An hour, she was kissing him goodbye and watching him walk out toward his car. She walked back inside and suddenly a wave of nasuea hit her. Running for the bathroom, Elena threw up. "Ugh." she sighed, crawling back toward her bed, crawling into the bed.
Hours later, when she crawled out of bed, Elena walked into the kitchen to get some sprite to settle her stomach. Her eyes flashed to the calender. February 3rd? She counted back. She was late. Her mind flashed to her retching stomach. Oh God…it wasn't possible, right? They weren't even trying. Grabbing her car keys, Elena walked out to her car and drove to the drug store. Picking up a pregnancy test, she drove home and followed the instruction, then paced as she waited for the alarm she'd sat on her phone to go off. When the alarm sounded, Elena reached for the test, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She opened her eyes and stared at the little pink plus sign.
2 days later, Damon walked in the front door. "Hey baby, I'm home!" he called, sitting down his bags. Elena ran through the house, jumping into his arms. "You're home! You're home! You're home!" she squealed. Damon laughed, wrapping his arms around her. "Someone missed me." he laughed. She nodded and jumped down. "I…I have some news." she grinned. "Okay…shoot." he said, sitting down on the couch and pulling her into his lap. Reaching into her back pocket, Elena pulled out a plastic baggie holding her pregnancy test. He took it with wide eyes. "We're having a baby?" he asked. Elena nodded happily. "We're having a baby!" he laughed, jumping up and spinning her around. Suddenly he sat down, his head in his hands. "Oh God. We're having a baby.
