Omg, thanks so much! Sorry I haven't updated, with The New TVD episode yesterday I was stunned, I was excited and everything haha.
Enjoy!
Elena's POV
My world turned upside down. Damon was frozen in front of me, not moving or saying anything. I avoided his eyes as I sat on the couch in the parlor, my hands on my belly.
"This can't be!" Damon stammered, "H-How the hell does this happen?" He blurred to me and raised me from my shoulders. "Vampires cannot have children, Elena! We are dead!"
I just stood there in front of him, tears pricking my eyes. Sure, I dreamt of being a mother and being able to have a family… but not like this. This wasn't supposed to happen.
"What are we going to do?" I manage to choke out.
Damon blurred to where he kept his alcohol and downed three glasses of scotch.
"Damon, drinking won't help!"
"What the hell do you want me to say, Elena? I'm a hundred and seventy two years old undead living person, living twenty five years of these hundred and seventy two years as human. And in those twenty five years I didn't have a child. And now I get to be a father in my vampire life! How is that even possible…?"
"Damon, please," I said going near him, touching his shoulder gently.
"No, Elena," He said, wincing back as if he was stung. "I need some time. Alone."
Damon's POV
I disappeared to my bedroom and locked the door behind me, trying to process everything that happened. Elena was pregnant. The word brought shivers to my entire body, and millions of questions raced through my mind.
But I had to pull myself together.

Jeremy's POV
"I love you, you know that?"
I was with Bonnie at my house, and these past few months Bonnie and I grew much closer. I loved her and she loved me, and our relationship was serious.
"I know," she said, kissing me lightly on my lips. "And I love you."
She smiled her little lovely smile and I stroked her hair. "So, pizza tonight?"
"Sounds good," She agreed. "I'll call for delivery."
"I'll prepare the table," I offered, and Bonnie walked to her phone, searching through her contact list.
I was getting the knives out of the sink when I heard Bonnie scream, and I rushed to her. She was frozen in her place, her phone in her hand, white as a ghost. She looked like she was in a trance since when I tried to shake her it was like trying to shake a brick wall.
"Bonnie! Bonnie!" I shrieked as I tried to shake her again.
Another scream and Bonnie fell, unconscious.

Bonnie's POV
"Where am I? What happened?" My eyes opened slowly, and the wet cloth on my forehead startled me.
"You blacked out…"
"Oh my God, I remember! Elena's in danger!" I said, rushing to get up. But Jeremy stopped me.
"Calm down!"
"I saw a vision, Jeremy! There was Rebecca, she was with someone. She was very mad…"
The Vision.
Rebecca.
Rebecca was with someone. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. But I saw her laughing an evil grin while repeating the word revenge. She said that Elena will pay, she would kill her and her child.
Jeremy stared at me like crazy when I said the last word.
"It was just a dream, Bonnie. A daydream. Elena can't have a child, Bonnie, she's in love with Damon. Vampires can't have children!"
"I know, Jeremy! But I can't ignore a warning. Ever since I got that power I never had trouble in magic. It's been six months."
Damon's POV
"Can we talk?" I heard a soft voice coming from the other side of the room.
I unlocked the door and Elena was there, beautiful as always. She squeezed my hand.
"Look, I'm sorry," I started to say. "I shouldn't have left like this… but it's hard for me too, Elena. I wanted a family in my human life. Knowing that this happens in vampire life-"
"I understand," Elena cut me off, squeezing my hand even tighter. "But I'm scared, Damon. I'm young and with this entire vampire…"
"I'll help you, Elena," I assured her, putting my chin on her head. "I love you. No matter what happens, I'll protect you."
"Damon, you know you're the only person I love, right?"
"Of course I know. I would never doubt you, Elena. Never."
She wrapped her arms around my neck and I pulled her closer, comforting her and me at the same time.
We held on for what seemed like forever but then we were interrupted by Elena's cry of pain, holding her stomach. She twisted on the floor, vomiting blood, her eyes rolling. I immediately ran to her, picking her up, only to find her so hot that it looked like she had the flu.
Then I realized that I have seen similar to this very earlier in my life. This was definitely magic. My hands went immediately to Bonnie's number while I cradled Elena protectively against my chest, caressing her sweaty face as I carried her to my bed. She had lost consciousness.
Bonnie, pick up the damn phone!
"Hello?" A voice after what seemed like forever said.
"Bonnie, it's Damon. Please come to the house, Elena's in danger-"
But she had already hung up.
.
.
In less than fifteen minutes, Jeremy and Bonnie arrived to the house.
"Where is she?" Bonnie cried, barging in.
"She's upstairs. I put her on the bed but she's in pain, it's like the pain can't stop… I tried to feed her my blood but she wouldn't take it."
"Why not?" Jeremy shouted, "Just force feed her it! It's not like you haven't done it before!"
His words were like a stake through my heart, but since I understood that he was obviously worried now, I bit my lip and didn't say anything. Bonnie was already climbing up the stairs and we followed.
The minute I entered my room again, Elena's face was even more whiter and she was actually crying in pain.
"Please make it stop! It hurts!" She pleaded.
"What hurts?" Bonnie said, tears escaping from her eyes at the state of her dear best friend.
"My stomach, my body's weak and is on fire! It's like my own blood is breaking my bones!"
Bonnie took Elena's hand in hers and we saw her murmuring some words in Latin while I held Elena, her messy ponytail knotted around her face.
"Oh God!" Bonnie winced, as her own nose started to bleed. "They're stronger than me!"
Elena's face started to lit a few seconds after, but Bonnie was stuck in the trance, with Jeremy shaking her.
"It's enough! You're going to kill yourself! Elena's better, stop now!"
"BONNIE!" He screamed again. "STOP!"
She seemed to suck in air and her eyes went immediately to her best friend. Elena was still panting, sweat covering her neck and her face as she gasped for air desperately.
"Elena, you have to let me heal you," I said again, "This can't happen."
"No! I won't take blood… If there's someone alive inside of me I can't!"
"Then it's true!" Jeremy exploded, as he clung to me. "What happened? What did you do?"
"I don't know a thing-"
"Magic," Bonnie said, still weak as she sat limply on a chair. "There's magic involved, Damon. But I can't think how… I'm supposed to be the most powerful witch on earth and I didn't do this!"
We turned to Elena and I stroked her hair. "How are you feeling?"
"Better," Elena said. "The pain's almost gone…"
"We'll let you rest," I said, covering her in warm sheets. "I'll be back in a few," I added when Bonnie eyed me to go outside.
As soon as we were in the parlor Bonnie told me about Rebecca's vision.
"But why would Rebecca have an obsession about a baby? It doesn't make sense!"
"I don't know, I can't find a suitable reason," Bonnie said, pacing around the room nervously. "But she seems mad. All she thinks is about revenge, Damon. Only revenge and hurt."
"We can't let Elena go through torture," I growled. "Even if I have to kill the bitch myself."
"Damon, you're forgetting one thing. Elena is pregnant; we don't even know how to take care of that. What if her pregnancy isn't normal? What if it kills her?"
I looked at Bonnie, swallowing the words she said.
"We have to find ways to protect Elena, and we need to track Rebecca. But we can't go like everything's normal. Damon this is your child we are talking about. We're going to need help."
"Are you suggesting we'll tell the others?"
"Katherine and Stefan are in Bulgaria. We'll need their help, and Alaric, Caroline and Tyler's too if we're going to track Rebecca."
"And Elijah?" Jeremy offered.
"Maybe. But since they're originals, I don't know…" I said, biting on my nails. "I can't just trust everyone."
"I'll talk to Caroline," Bonnie assured me. "We'll be having a long talk."
"I take care of Stefan and Alaric," I said quietly, my heart almost exploding.
Bonnie went upstairs again to check on Elena and Jeremy sat on the couch next to me.
"You know what I was thinking, Damon?" He quietly said after a long time of silence. "I was actually planning to start living again. I want to be with Bonnie, Damon, for real and forever. But this can't happen if we keep having these things. For six months I found myself again, man. I lost my parents, Vicki, Anna, Jenna, My uncle… Elena lost her real parents. I've experienced ghost visions, Elena watched you almost die, she was damn sacrificed! I thought we could start over."
"I know, I did too," I said, my head down. "I actually asked Elena to marry me before that woman appeared in the diner."
"Oh my God! What did she say?"
"She didn't have the chance to say anything. Now I can't ask her while we're having all this. I wanted her to remember that day."
"We'll get through this," Jeremy assured me.
"We always did."
What do you think?
