Chicago, (three months ago)

Weddings.
Weddings reminds people of Soccer games. Initially its very exciting for few minutes then for next few minutes very predictable but the last few minutes are the best. You get to eat amazing food, get to dance on good songs, drink free booze and meet other attractive people and spend the night eating very expensive but delicious cake.

This wedding was just the same.

Rebekah Mikealson weds Jeremy Gilbert.

These two people were like chalk and cheese. Jeremy was a stoner while Rebekah was a style queen. When Jeremy was a tortured artist, Rebekah was the head cheerleader. if Jeremy were a vampire hunter, Rebekah would have been an original vampire but one thing they had in common was the the constant need of affection and attention. Rebekah and Jeremy lacked a proper family. they depended on the likes of their siblings but then they found solace in each other and hence they decided to spent the rest of their life with each other in sickness and health. To be each others forever…

" This is shit, i am not going to say that. Find solace.. i am not going to say that when i am pretty sure Rebekah is pregnant." the brown haired stock broker said.

" Stefan, Jeremy is my brother and your brother in law. What really happened doesn't matter. He appointed you as the minister and so you should perform all the duty regarding that and now go away. You being here is spoilling my beauty." the brunette beauty said.

" Elena sweetheart, you couldn't possibly get back what you don't obviously have!" Stefan said to his wife and ran out before the lamp hit his head.

STEFAN

Stefan hated weddings, it reminded him of his own. A Room filled of old, diseased and dying people attended his wedding with his nemesis. He hated Elena throughout Middle School, High School and coincidently during college because they both got in Stanford. Nobody was giving up their dreams to get away from the other. Their parents thought they were fated to be together. They were like soul mates. They didn't thing so.

He loved Jeremy. He played XBOX with him, talked about girls with him and played pranks on Elena with him. He was like his little brother and now his little brother was going to get married to the the mother of his future children. He did what most ministers did, he stood with his back to lake, where the stage was set up while the seats were being filled. He saw Jeremy approaching the stage with a blond guy with curly hair.

" Hey Jer! you ready for this formidable ceremony!" stefan screamed with a big smile. Jeremy gave him a nervous laugh and looked up at him.

" Stef! i am forever ready. Have you met him?He's Niklaus Mikealson. Rebekah's Brother and Nik this is Stefan Salvatore, my brother in law." Jeremy introduced them. Nik gave him a confused look.
" You are married mate?" Nik asked in disbelief. Stefan just nodded with a smile hiding his hate for that sentence,
" Why detest marriage then?" he asked.
" Are you married Niklaus?" Stefan asked him.
" Call me Nik and yes i am actually." he said with a big smile

" How many years?" Stefan asked.

" twelve years actually but we dated each other for a year before that." Nik said which made stefan widen his eyes in surprise and stare at Jeremy.

" Really? Twelve years. Its so long very long" Stefan remarked.

" Yup but she is the love of my life. Knew that when i set my eyes on her but took me a year to convince her that." he said.

Before Stefan could say anything, Jeremy asked Nik to get seated since the music had started.

" He is an alien.' Stefan whispered to Jeremy loudly.

The wedding ceremony proceeded without any problems and then came the after party.

Elena

" Stop eating will you?" Elena glared at stefan who was eating continuously.
" These rolls are amazing!" said stefan whose mouth was full of food and was refusing to put it down.
" Little Miss perfect ordered them ofcourse you would love them!" She snarled.
" My beautiful wife! Stop whining and start eating because that's the best part of this ceremony and you know that this marriage isn't gonna last. so might as well enjoy it." sometimes..only sometimes was there a situation in which Stefan was right and this was it. It was frustratingly true. Get wasted and eat all the cake and beautiful lobster for free. So, she started with the former, Get Drunk.
She just had two drinks when she heard the most irritating noise.
" Hey baby! I missed you!" the guy said with a thick British accent to a blonde woman.
" I missed you too my love!" the girl kissed him and sat besides him.
" Am I drunk or is this really true?" Elena asked her husband who was still sadly eating lobster and the looked at the couple.
" Oh! no thats Nik, Rebekah's Brother." he said. Elena looked at him quizitively.
" The one obsessed with his wife brother." Stefan said carefully. She could just say ooo and then tried to hide her face behind the drink.
" Stefan mate!" Klaus bellowed. Stefan looked at him and waved which brought upon anger on Elena's face.
" Hi what's up mate?" Klaus came with his wife and before Stefan could say anything, Klaus introduced her.
" This is Caroline, the love of my life" he looked at Caroline with admiration and love which made Elena willing to barf.
" Hello! And this is my lovely wife Elena." Stefan said while Elena faked her big smile.
They talked for a while, until the song changed.
" Hey, sweetheart let's dance." Klaus grabbed Caroline to the dance floor after excusing themselves from the conversation.
" I was about to barf." Stefan said while looking at them.
" They are dancing to Ed Sheeran's 'kiss me' what are they twelve?" Elena remarked with complete amazement and a bit disgust. They sat down, Stefan started earing whole heartedly and Elena started drinking.
"Atleast she does not have to beg him." Elena said sadly. Stefan caught up with Elena's mood and grabbed her to the dance floor. The song had changed to Shawn Mendes's 'life of the party'.
Stefan held her close. He had been married for a six months and one thing he knew was that happy wife equals happy life. As much as he hated his wife, he loved her. Being lose to her was something he cherished. He never told her that he loved her, he was in love with her once. That incident changed his life, it changed the way he looked at her. He was made believe of the fact that someone like Elena could never love someone like him and now all he has is hatred towards their situation. He tried but he could never hate her.

So, all he did was dance with her. She grabbed his shirt and hugged him while Stefan kept cheeks on her hair. Moments like these came very rarely, but these moments is what kept them together. The feeling of maybe.

" Hey, look Damon is dancing like a duck." Stefan pointed out which made Elena laugh. Damon did not know how to dance but that did not stop him from trying. Sometimes it could be too much.

Both of them started laughing when suddenly someone pushed Elena onto Stefan. Their faces touched, they were so lose that their breath was hitting each other and then one thing led to another, they started kissing. They never stopped for air and when they did, all they could see was lust in each other's eyes. Then one thing led to another, they approached the washroom and then it all happened. The deed had been done.

Two months Later

Pregnant.

How could two parallel lines on a stick change everything? How could life change in just two minutes? What happened and Why?

Elena sat on the floor of the bathroom in the house that she shared with her nemesis and that nemesis was going to be the father of her unborn child. She was perplexed and tensed, the only thought around her brain was ' Why? and How?'. How was she supposed to tell him? Will he trust her or will he help her throughout the whole ordeal? but the most important thought was whether she was ready for this kind responsibility?

She wanted this child because this baby was hers and if Stefan wanted this then theirs.

She was ready. Ready to tell him…..

STEFAN

It was a quiet sunday for Stefan. Elena was spending her time in the bathroom, His parents were off to New Mexico for their 30th Anniversary and were not calling or picking up. Damon went to New York for his final divorce settlement. His old neighbours were gone. He felt nine after a long time. So, to celebrate this he decided to watch the Die hard series and have some Pizza.

When suddenly, he heard the sound of a truck approaching near their house and stopping in front of the adjacent house.

" Hey Elena, did you hear that? That is our new neighbours!" Stefan screamed. He saw Elena coming out of the bathroom with a closed fist. She had something in her hand but Stefan chose to ignore it for a while.

" Stefan, there is something i want to tell you." Elena said slowly and politely. It kind of strange to Stefan. Elena was not polite especially not to him.

" What happened?" Stefan asked with a worried tone.

" I am…" Elena was interrupted by a knock on their door.

Stefan went ahead and opened the door...

" HEY NEIGHBOURS!" Stefan and Elena were shocked to see a very excited Klaus and Caroline. Caroline had a big cake in her hand and uneven a bigger smile whereas Klaus just smiled.

" hey" Stefan and Elena added with a very disappointing tone.

" We were just moving in and then we thought OH MY GOD! why not visit our best friends who are also our new neighbours" Caroline said with a shrilly tone and a loud noise which made Stefan and Elena wince.

" My beautiful wife here is carrying our third child. So i thought why not move somewhere big and safe or near our friends and family." Klaus added

Stefan could only smile whereas Elena started getting uncomfortable.

" WOW" Stefan said.

" I am soooo HAPPY!" Caroline screamed again.

" My Best friend and i will play cricket now every sunday." Nik screamed.

" OH lord save me!" Stefan screamed.

" I am Pregnant." Elena screamed.

All three eyes were on Elena now. Two eyes were happily surprised and the other, of her husband were bulging out with surprise and his expression was unreadable.

Every action has a consequence but this was a hard blow.
