Chapter 3: 'Love isn't a sin'
"I don't wanna lose you," I said as I held on to her hand.
"you will not." She said as she kissed on the tip of my nose.
"but what if tonight I mess up again." I made a face.
"You won't and even if you do, Damon, I and…," She placed my hand on her tummy and smiled, "and our bundle of joy would stand by you no matter what,"
My eyes were wide open, in surprise.
She smiled a very shy smile, the very smile that I loved, that I would die for, "I… found out that last night. I am pregnant, Damon." She looked at me with so much hope and love that I didn't know what to say. We'd been trying for a child for a couple of months, our doctor had told us that Elena had some problem due to which, it was unlikely she'd ever get pregnant, she was heart broken and told me to leave her be, since she'd been taught by her family that a woman who couldn't bear a child was no good, but I told her that it never mattered to me and that she was the women that I wanted to spend my life with.
Right now, all I could think was that, I could die for her, I love her and I loved the life we had created. Of course, I was so nervous. I didn't know how to raise a kid, fuck, a couple of years ago, I never wanted kids. But I had Elena and I just knew she'd be a perfect mother.
I fell on my knees and hugged her stomach, as I was overwhelmed by emotions, "I love you. I love you so much." I kissed lightly on her stomach, over and over again, my eyes filled with tears.
"Are you happy?" She asked me.
"I… baby, I have everything in the world now, everything that I never knew I wanted," I laughed and half cried.
"I am happy." I said as I stood up facing her, I cupped her face and kissed her on the forehead.

I thought, the dinner would be an alone thing with me and John but the whole family was seated too, Elena held my hand from under the table, we didn't dare tell anyone about Elena's pregnancy because she told me John might get a heart attack if he knew his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock. Although I was up for it but Elena nudged me.
"These are the special fishes, you should have them, love." John said to Elena.
"Oh really."
"Damon, can you please pass the dam fishes." John said to me.
"Nice, now we are talking normal, where are the fucking fries?" Damon said with a big smile as he handed him a plate.
Elena nearly choked while everyone on the table either shouted or gave him a death glare.
"There are children here." Miranda shouted as she pressed Jeremy's ears.
"But Mr. John-,"
"He meant dam, Damon. Not the D word." Elena said.
"I didn't say he said dick,"
"What is wrong with you!" Isobel screamed.
"Damon, now, I'm going to ask you something that is very important." John said, as picked up the napkin.
"Yes, sir." I said, expecting to be asked, some very important question.
"Do you (a big pause) love god?"
I let out a chuckle, expecting everyone to join me, clearly this wasn't serious. But then when he didn't, I made it look like I was coughing, "Of course, I do."
I looked at Rebekah's husband who had been eyeing me throughout the visit, he smiled at me in a pretty weird way, wait, he wasn't gay right. Not that I had any problem. But there was this look in his eyes, the look of adoration.
"Good. We should all love God more than anything," John said with a deep breath.
I nodded. "yes totally. I even teach all the children in my building about how f-ing awesome God is and how to lead a good christen life!"
"Really?" He said finally impressed, "Well, after dinner, I want you to read God's words to us, I'd love to know more. Teach me and our children about the reason we came to this world."
Oh, fuck! Oh fucking fuck. Damn it, you idiot. I was internally screaming. I should have kept my mouth shut, oh, now, I'm so done.
Jenna looked at me with an evil smirk as if she couldn't get enough out of this situation.
If there was any God, he'd be laughing too. Jesus, if you're hearing this, please save me, I'm so fucked.
..
..
They were all looking at me as if I was a baboon with a drum, Elena was biting her lower lip to the point of bruising it. She was so nervous and so was I. Why couldn't I just shut the fuck up!
I looked over at Rebekah's husband who was strangely looking at me pants now. What? Was there something on them.
The family of twenty was sitting and staring at me. Jeremy was on couch, with bonnie and Caroline on his either sides, Rebekah and her husband, and Alaric had dragged chairs to the living room. John and Miranda were sitting on the swing, while Grayson and Isobel were seated next to them. Elena's english cousins were sitting on the floor, indian style, along with others. Grandma Jo was sitting in the middle, all ears to me.
I was a porn star, I had performed in front of the world but I had never been so nervous.
"God. What is God. Why should we love him?" I started. "God is (pause) God." John narrowed his eyes at my words, "And we should love him because, we just should. We should love him a lot, so much that when a bee stings us, it should go away singing because that's the power of God, baby."
Elena closed her eyes, probably thinking, I was off my rockers.
"He's there for you no matter. ipod, ipad, try ipray. It's free." I said confidently.
Rebekah gave me a glance, as if I was something pathetic, which I was.
"God changes life. My friend, Cherry was a junkie before she found God, but of course, that was the day she overdosed. Anyway, God is-,"
"Enough, Damon." John looked at him with disappointment.
"Please give me a chance, I am just warming up," I said nervously, thinking of all I remembered about ten commandments but Grandma Jo gasped.
"I REMEMBER YOU. I REMEMBER NOW. OH HOLY LORD." She shouted. "I remember him saying the same in that movie Tits a wonderful life."
"Grandma, please." Elena whispered.
"John. John. He's a pornstar." She said, as she pointed at me.
Shit, they knew. The old hag knew.
"Aha."Alaric snapped his fingers. "Yes, I knew that I knew him from somewhere. He was also in Star whores."
"Long Dong John." Jeremy said, "That was his name. Of course, how can I not remember."
"Oh yes." Klaus and Elijah said, narrowing their eyes as if they have just recognized him.
"OMG." Rebekah squeaked.
Her boyfriend murmured, "I for sure knew he resembled the actor from the movie few hard men."
Dear Lord, he had seen the movie where I played a gay actor too.
"Oh lord, yes, I had a feeling that I had seen him before." Isobel gasped.
"Knew it." Caroline pumped her fist.
"Oh yeah." Grayson said,nodding.
John looked at everyone, in his house and then to Damon.
"I'll get to you in a minute but does anyone in the house not watch porn?" John growled. "Mother, really? I'm ashamed."
Grandma Jo bit her lip in embarrassment.
Then John turned to me, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked like he wanted to murder me. "You immoral bastard, how dare you step into my house, you unholy beast."
"Sir, please," I wanted to say something but he continued, "and how dare you lay your dirty gaze on my pure daughter,"
"Dad, stop." Elena pleaded.
"Get out. Get out now. There is no place in my house for a person who not only commits adultery but also films it,"
"But I have left it." I tried to say.
"Oh, shut up. You… disgust me," he was enraged. "My Lord, forgive us, for I have kept my family under the gaze of this dirty, unholy-,"
"Sir, if I may-,"
"No, listen to me, you sinner, get out of my house, get out with your gonorrhea infected dick, God knows where you had stuck it," he shouted in rage.
"He used to be bisexual," Jeremy mentioned.
"Shut up, Jer, how do you know?" Jenna shouted back.
"I think I saw it in that movie where he sticks it in the dude's ass," Klaus said.
"Why would you watch that?" Rebekah shouted. "Are you gay?"
"No. But your boyfriend is," I told her.
"WHAT! You manwhore don't talk about my man like that," She shouted at me.
"Oh, don't hate me because I am who I am, hate me because your boyfriend had been ogling me ever since I have stepped inside the house, hate me because your boyfriend is more attracted to me than he'd be to you." I screamed back at her.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Grandma Jo shouted.
"Oh shut up. Old hag. Your eighty and you still watch porn. You knew me because you watch me, you dirty hoe."
"Oh my god." She screamed.
"Did you call my mother a whore?" John launched on me.
"Please, daddy." Elena stepped between us, but John pushed her to a side and jumped on me, "You fucker, I'll kill you."
"Your mother fap to me, I'm better off dead." I shouted back.
And before I could defend myself, Elena ran toward the sink and vomited, loudly. Silence filled the room as she threw up.
"Baby doll, you okay?" I followed her and held her hair back. She nodded as she cleaned her face.
Before John can shout at me for touching his daughter
"Dad, I'm pregnant." She said, as she wiped her face with a Kleenex.
"What?" everyone shouted.
"Yes, dad. I am pregnant with Damon's child. And before you say anything let me explain please. Dad, I grew up with the values you gave me and I respect them, but I love this man, he loves me, he loves me enough to lie to you, he loves me enough to be like us even though this is not him," she said as she held my hand.
"Are you kidding me? Should I be a proud that you destroyed the legacy of our godly family," John said. "A child out of wedlock, daughter, you sinned, this is a sin,"
"This is our love, dad." Elena said, her hand on her stomach.
"I can accept this man as the father of your child, he is immoral-,"
"Dad, he loves me, isn't that enough, he's a good person, he is a good man, he will be with me till the day one of us die, till death do us part, do you know dad, we were trying to get pregnant, our doctor told us that there was rare chance that we could ever, he could have left me then and there, he could have chosen someone less problematic, more fertile, you know the kind of woman you'd want for Jeremy, but he stayed, he stayed dad, he made me laugh when I thought I was worthless, he cried with me when I lost my first baby, dad, he would never leave and that's what I love the most about him, I don't care about his past, I'm proud of who he is. My fiancé is an ex porn star and I am proud of him." She led my hand to her heart.
John sighed a heavy sigh after hearing everything. He looked at me in the eye and after a brief silence, he spoke, "I'll kill you if you ever hurt her,"
"I would rather die," I meant every word.
"Well, then welcome to the family," He said, opening his hands wide in a hug.
Awkwardly, I returned the gesture as the family awed.
"Sweet. We're finally a cool family, I can't wait to tell my friends that the hot boy from our favorite adult movie is Elena's boyfriend," Grandma Jo said proudly.
"Mother, for god sake,"
"Shut up, John, I have needs too you know."
While the situation turned back to normal, we left the fighting mother son duo and I dragged Elena to a side.
"What?" She asked me.
"You owe me a kiss," I said, pointing at the mistletoe.
She rolled her eyes. "Like you need that excuse."
I leaned in and eagerly took her lips in a kiss, oh, how I loved kissing her, it was better than breathing, so soft, so sweet.
"Promise me this is forever," She murmured, her lips, still atop mine.
"I promise," I replied. And I meant it. This was our happily ever after.
..
..
