Chapter Two
Testing Day
Elena awoke to Bonnie yelling her name from down stairs and bright sun. She clutched her stomach, sitting up and putting her head to her knees as terrible nausea overcame her. Bonnie came rushing in and screamed for her mom seeing Elena doubled over in pain. Mrs. McCullough sat next to Elena on the bed, "What's wrong Sweetie?" she asked gently.
"Morning sickness." Elena groaned.
"You're pregnant?" said with the same surprise in her voice as Bonnie had last night. Elena nodded miserably and then had to get up, the nausea turning into gagging. She ran to the nearest bathroom just in time. Bonnie and her mother were at the door when she finished with a cool washcloth and water. Elena thanked them both and went with them down stairs. They had breakfast out, Bonnie's father reading the paper at the table and sipping coffee. She wasn't really hungry but she knew she needed to eat something so she'd have something to throw up if need be. She sat next to Bonnie and across from Mr. McCullough.
"So, what are you girls going to do to today." Mr. McCullough asked though the paper.
"Goin' to the doctor to see if Elena's really pregnant!" Bonnie said too cheerfully, "Oopsy, sorry Elena." Bonnie said and covered her mouth. Elena hit her head on the table, everyone was going to know, why didn't she tell Meredith first? Mr. McCullough folded the paper down so only his eyes were poking over the top. He look Elena over and mumbled something that sounded like, "It was bound to happen sometime." then cried out in pain when Mrs. McCullough rammed her foot onto his under the table.
"Excuse me." Elena said, taking the glass of orange juice that Bonnie's mother had given her and walked to her bag, getting her cell phone and calling Meredith. Her answer wasn't as immediate as Bonnie's and Damon's had been when she had called them.
"Hey Elena."
"Hey Meredith, I need you to come over to Bonnie's house so I can talk to you."
"I'll be over there as soon as possible."
"Thank you!"
" 'Kay, later." The line went dead and Elena walked back.
"Meredith's coming over soon." Elena said to Bonnie as she sat back down. Bonnie nodded, busy eating. Elena only had the piece of toast on the plate then there was a knock on the door. Elena got up and hurried to the door, there stood Meredith. Elena called Bonnie and they all went to Bonnie's room.
"Bonnie already knows, as well as her parents, my aunt, and Damon." Elena began, "Meredith, I might be pregnant with Stefan's child."
"I thought that wasn't possible." Meredith said with her usual calm voice.
"Well, apparently it is because I never had sex with anyone but him." Elena said.
"We're going to te doctor to get a more accurate test for her." Bonnie said.
"Why did you call me over, you could have just told me on the phone."
"Because I need you to keep big mouth over there quiet about it and that much more support." Elena said.
"If it helps." Meredith shrugged.
"God, you're a life saver! Thank you!" Elena said and then looked at her watch, it was about ten thirty, "You guys wanna go?"
"Sure." Bonnie said, Meredith nodded. They walked down the stairs together and Elena got her keys out.
"We're going to the doctor's!" Bonnie yelled through the door when they were outside and closed it. They piled into Elena's car and went to the nearest clinic. Elena got checked in and all of the paperwork filled out and was taken in a few minutes later.
"Hello Elena, I'm Doctor Kincade. So it says you want to get a pregnancy test." the man said. She nodded, her eyes pointed to the floor in embarrassment.
He touched her shoulder, almost intimately, "There's nothing to worry about Miss Gilbert, doctor patient confidentiality. I won't tell anyone anything unless you want me to, and you're not underage, you should be able to carry full term."
"Umm... can I take the test, please?" Elena asked, getting uncomfortable.
"Oh! Sorry," he said handing her a clear plastic cup with a lid, "You know the drill, come back when you're done."
"Thanks." she said and hurried to the girls bathroom.

A little later she walked back to the room. The doctor took the bottle and handed it to the nurse and she too it to the lab.
"Um, can I wait with my friends?" she asked after a while of awkward silence in the room. He nodded and waved her away, she scurried out eagerly. She sat in on of the tacky waiting room chairs with her friends.
"I swear the doctor was hitting on me." She said and laid her head back so it hung over the back of the chair and placed her hands over her face.
"And that's bad?" a male voice asked. She immediately thought that it was Doctor Kincade and sat up, then saw it was Damon.
"God! Don't do that to me, Damon!" she said, her voice half relief, half anger.
"Thank you for the warm welcome." he said playfully.
"Miss Gilbert, we have your results." a lady in a lab coat called.
"Cross your fingers guys!" she said enthusiastically and got up, feeling sick with worry and actually feeling sick again. She walked to the counted and was handed a two papers. She waited to look at them until she was with her friends. She turned over the first paper, it had a large red ink stamp across it that said POSITIVE and was enveloped in a hug by Bonnie.
"Congrats, Mommy." Damon said, she detected a hint of sadness in his voice but ignored it. Meredith patted her on the back. Elena looked at the second paper, check up dates and pre-natal vitamins she needed. She folded that and put it in her bag and walked out of the clinic surrounded by her friends. They all went back to Bonnie;s place, and as the day got later Damon and Meredith left.
"Bonnie?" Elena asked when everyone was gone.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still have Stefan's number programed into your phone?"
"I think so, why?"
"I want to tell him about his son or daughter."
"Alright." Bonnie said unsurly, taking out her phone and scrolling down her contacts. She stopped and Stefan's number and handed Elena the phone.
"Can you talk to him first? I don't want to have a mental breakdown when I hear his voice." Elena said.
"If you say so." Bonnie said hitting the green 'call' button. It rang a few times and then Stefan picked up.
"Hey Stefan!" Bonnie said, there was a pause for Stefan and then bonnie spoke again, "Elena has something really important she needs to tell you." Bonnie said and passed the phone to Elena. elena took a deep breath.
"Hi Stefan." she said shakily.
"Elena, what's wrong?" his voice was music to her ears. She'd forgotten how smooth it was, he'd gotten a little of his Italian accent back.
"Um, you remember the night before graduation?" she asked.
"Yes, why?"
"You're going to be a dad." Elena said, her voice wavering over dad.
"That can't be possible! We can't procreate."
"Oh, it's possible, I've got the morning sickness and the test results to prove it." Elena laughed.
"I'll be back by tomorrow Elena." he said and hung up. She smiled, "Bonnie, he's coming back."
