Jenna had taken Elena to the emergency room on a Sunday morning, after she had collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration. She had been fighting the flu for days and it had finally gotten the best of her.
When Stefan and Damon arrived at the hospital and where told only one person could go back to her room and Damon let Stefan go, knowing that Elena would want him when she woke up confused and disoriented.
Stefan sat next to her bed as she received an IV of fluids and antibiotics. She was groggy but awake when the doctor came in and stood at the foot of her bed.
"Would you like him to leave the room while I give you your medical information?" He said without looking up from her chart.
"No." Elena's voice was low and raspy. "He can stay." Stefan reached out and took her hand, careful not to touch the IV line taped to it. "What medical information? They told me I could go home after I got fluids."
"Did you know that you are pregnant?"
"What?" Stefan piped in from his chair.
"Elena's blood work came back positive for pregnancy. I am going to order an ultrasound. You can go home after that." He stated very matter of factly before exiting the room.
She and Stefan exchanged glances, before "you need to get Damon" spilled from her lips.
