Chapter 3
"Oh Elena I'd be honored," Rebekah gushed, "but not Bonnie or Caroline? Surely I would have thought you would have chosen one of them." Rebekah turned to Stefan, "and it's not Damon's because if he had been with Elena the whole world would know it - repeatedly."
"There's no way I'd ever sleep with him." Elena had a disgusted face as she spoke to Stefan. "Seriously! I've seen him naked and trust me, I'd never do that to you." Turning to Rebekah, she smiled. "I know that I could have asked one of them but I want you to do it. I'd think that you'd be good at it."
"Well thank you," Rebekah smiled. She sipped her tea calmly then content to let Elena move this gathering along at her own pace. She noticed her brother Elijah could not stop staring at Elena and she felt bad for him. Rebekah knew - before her brother had confessed it to her one evening a few months ago - that he was in love with Elena Gilbert. This must surely come as a blow to any hopes he might have had that they could be together.
"You're all not going to stop hounding me about who the father is, huh?" Elena asked after a pause. Stefan nodded and she sighed. "I'll tell Rebekah first so you two men do whatever." She looked at Rebekah and made a motion for her to follow her into the kitchen.
"You're going to tell me first?" Rebekah asked, calmly as she was standing at the door.
"It's Elijah's and before you start quoting just how cruel it was for me to hide it from him all these months-tell me how many enemies does your whole family have and how many of them would definitely use this child as leverage or a pawn?"
