CHAPTER 1
Alaric stood in front of Damon on the phone with stefan. "What do you want me to do? Stand here and watch him die? Or force feed him the cure?" There was a pause on the phone and Alaric looked over at Damon Dying from the Werwolf venom. "Stefan" Alaric snapped again and the line went dead. "Damn it!" he snapped and flashed over to damon "I'm sorry pal" he said and cramed the small vile into his mouth crushing it in his jaw. He watched the infected wounds slowly disappear.
1 Year later
Damon let his eyes open slowly as the light streamed in from the window resting on Elenas face. He smiled to himself as her eyes opened. "Whats that face?" she asked smiling a little at him.
"What face?" He asked pushing her hair from her face and smiled.
"That face?" she said pointing at his smile.
"I'm happy" he said and sat up and placed his hand on her swollen abdomen "Why wouldn't I me?" he said softly and kissed her stomach feeling the gentle movements of the child beneath her skin.
Elena slid to sit up a little bit and placed her hand on her stomach "I never thought this would happen for me. to be pregnant with your child." she said and saw the same pain flash in Damon's eyes. "Look I know that you wernt happy that Alaric made you human but i don't know what i would have done if I lost you" She said.
Damon sat up and looked at her "Gone back to Stefan?" he said bitterly and slid off the king sized 4 posted bed and walked to the bathroom starting a shower. Elena looked at him and slid off the bed carefully and walked in and looked at him "Look damon. I know I was confused there for a while and leading you both on. but you are the one I am in love with" She said and closed the tiny space between them and tood on her toes and kissed his lips softly. "I love you, Damon"
Damon looked at her his hands on her hips "I know. I love you too, Elena" he said.
Elena smiled "Now no more pouting. Though how about that shower" she said softly and smiled mischievously making Damon chuckled.
they stepped into the warm jets of water as the bathroom began to steam up. Elena caressed his cheek and pressed her lips to his. Damon took the invitation bringing her body to his, making love to her in the steaming bathroom. Her skin pressing to the glass of the shower door as he took her over the edge and they finished with a tender kiss.
"I love you, Elena. So damn much" He said softly and ran his fingers through her wet hair, and she smiled at him.
Elena walked through the kitchen of the Salvator house dressed in Biking shorts and a red tank top that clung to you 5 month swollen belly. Stefan entered the kitchen retreiving a bottle of Burbon from the Fridge. "Oh hey.. How is my neice cooking?" he asked and Elena touched her stomach "Good.." She said she tried not to see the betrayal in his eyes. the awkward silence streached for a few second till Damon entered "Hello brother" He said "When did you get back?" Damon asked. Stefan he struggled for a little while right after he discovered Elena was pregnant. Stefan took a sip from his glass and looked at Damon. "Early this morning. I heard Klaus and Caroline were back from Louisianan"
Damon nodded slightly. He and Stefan shared a knowing look then they hugged and stefan retreated to his attic room. Elena released a breath she had realized she was holding. "We should have Caroline and Klaus over for dinner." She said. Klaus still needed Elena's Blood for his hybrids but aggreed to let her be while she was pregnant. "To Carry one the Patrova Blood line." He at told her last time he took some of her blood.
Damon made a face "Or not. The imortal Hybrid dick!" he said and Elena rolled her eyes.
"Well he is also Caroline fiance. And she is our friend" Elena leaned agasint the counter as her toast was down.
Damon leaned over and pecked her lips softly. "Fine. As you wish.. But if he gets anywhere near your blood I'll stake him" damon threated though being human there wasn't alot he could do.
Elena smiled and buttered her toast "WE still need a name" She said and looked at him
Damon looked at her a moment "I like Alexis" he said
Elean arched her eye brow "Alexis? as in Lexi? I think stefan would kill you" she said and watched damon chuckle "Yeah didn't think about that one" he said elena pulled her hair into a messy bun and looked at him. "What about Natalie?" she asked and damon made a joking gagging noise. "Ok Ok" she said and shrugged "Brilynn?" she said softly and looked at him
Damon looked as to think about it a moment. "Maybe but it doesn't quite seem right" he said. and shrugged "WE still have plenty of time" he said and walked over and stole a bite of her toast "Arn't you supposed to help Jeremy set up his apartment today?" Damon asked and elena looked at her watch
"Damn it! I gotta go" she said and gave him a quick kiss and grabbed her car keys "I Love you" she said and was out the door.
