Damon pov.
It has been about two months since we found out it was twins, and in two weeks time we were going to find out the genders. We couldn't wait.
"Elena, you know we have the best life ever?" I said. She turned around and groaned, then she saw my face and smiled. She nodded.
She took my hand and placed it over her baby bump, which was starting to get bigger by the day. Now it was about the same size as two apples. Elena rolled back over, holding her hand on top of mine, which was still on the baby bump, and letting me pull her closer to me, so close that my waist was touching the small of her back. She moaned a little and held my hand tighter against our babies.
What did I ever do that was so good I came to deserve the love of my life's love in return and for us to be blessed with these two tiny children? I mean, before I met her I was a monster. Before I fell in love with her I was a monster. Hell, when I was in love with her I was a monster. But she still loved me. She still loves me. I don't get it. And I don't need to get it, I need to be with her. The love of my life. My 'soul mate' as Hero Hair puts it.
I was interrupted from my pool of thoughts when I felt something poke at my hand. Then I felt it again, and again and realised what was going on. "'Lena! Babie's kicking!" I told her super excitedly. She got her hands and put them right next to mine on either side. I could still feel the fluttering.
"Oh my God, now baby two is kicking!" She smiled, then tears started forming in her eyes as she turned round and looked at me. I slammed my lips against hers, moving my free hand to the back of her head. She took both of her hands off of the bump and put one on my waist, the other on my neck. I didn't want to, but I let go of the baby bumb as well, pressed my torso against hers and put my free hand on the small of her back, and we stayed like that for minutes, still kissing.
I pulled away quickly, and then slowly but passionately pressed my lips back to hers. We only pulled away when we needed to breathe, which, now that she was pregnant and we were both human, was quite often. Eventually, I pulled away and pecked her lightly, then rolled over and got out of bed. I heard footsteps outside and pulled my shirt on just as Jeremy walked in.
"Jer, what are you doing here?" Elena asked, genuinely confused.
"There's someone I think you should meet. Get dressed and meet me downstairs." he said, kissing her forehead and walking out of the room.
"He still doesn't like me, does he?" I asked Elena. When we told Jeremy and Alaric that we were engaged and that Elena was pregnant, Jeremy had threatened to stake me if I even thought about hurting Elena, ever, even though I knew I wouldn't. Jeremy still saw me as the guy who once snapped his neck right infront of Elena's eyes, and told Elena to switch off my humanity in order to stop the pain. He only knew me by the worst things I ever did. And I have a feeling us being brother-in-laws isn't going to change that.
Elena shivered, and then crawled out of bed to get dressed. Her morning sickness had gone, and we were both so happy about that. Right now the only bad bit was the anticipation to find out what the gender was, and we made a bet. Right now I'm betting that it's their both boys and she's bettig it's one of each. Now I just want to prove her wrong, even though I don't actually care I just want to meet them, I just want us to be a family.
When we were both ready, we walked down the stairs and saw Jeremy there, holding hands with some girl neither of us have ever seen before. "Hey, Jer." Elena said, snapping her fingers to get his attention. "Who's this?" she asked, looking at the girl like she once looked at Caroline, all judgemental and not at all eager to be around.
"This is Georgina, my fiancee. Georgina, this is my sister Elena and her douche-bag of a fiancee, Damon." Jeremy said. I smiled at him sarcastically and held out my hand for Georgina to shake. Elena hugged her tightly. Georgina looked confused.
"How come you never mentioned you have a sister?" She asked. Oh, I thought to myself. Jeremy is in trouble...
"That's my fault actually." Elena began. I knew she was about to come up with some lame excuse to save Jeremy. This should be good. "Me and Jer have lost everyone we ever care about, our parents, our aunt and uncle, our friends. Just everyone. So when I fell in love with Damon, Jeremy wasn't too happy. He didn't want to lose me and made me chose. I couldn't and went away with Damon for a few days, came back and Jer was gone." she took a deep breath and watched Georgina's face as she started to digest all this. "I think Jer thought I chose Damon over him and he was hurt so he pretended I never existed." she turned to face Jeremy and held his hand. "I didn't chose Damon, I went away with him to talk things over." she said softly. I never knew she could lie this well. Or Jeremy. He started to fake cry and hugged Elena tightly. "But seriously, he never mentioned me? Are you sure about that?" she asked, smiling a little. Georgina shook her head and looked back at Jeremy. I think he may be in a bit of trouble. But seriously, since when can Elena lie like that and if she can, has she ever lied to me? Great, now she's in trouble.
We all decided to go to the Grille and bond, Elena went off with Georgina to talk about baby stuff and embarassing fiancee moments while Jer and I just drunk in silence. I couldn't take it any longer.
"Jer, how many times do I have to say I am sorry for everything I ever did. I'm sorry I snapped your neck, I'm sorry I left that island when things got too emotional for me, I'm sorry for everything. I just want us to get along, is that too much to ask?" I snapped. He looked at me in surprise, and then randomly started laughing.
"I'm not mad at you. I just don't think you're any fun when you are with Elena. You used to go out drinking every day, let me play video games and ditch school and mess around. You used to be fun, carefree. But since you you found out about the baby you have been so serious, no fun at all. It's awkward around you. I don't hate you, I want you to be more fun." Jeremy said. I stared at him dumbfounded. I hadn't even noticed that the girls slipped in and where next to us. I only noticed when Elena wrapped her arms around my waist and pecked my cheek. I am assuming she heard every word Jeremy had just said.
"If you think he's no fun, spend more time with him, Jer. 'Coz trust me, he is so much fun to be around and would you rather your neice or nephew, wait did you say baby?" Elena asked. Jeremy nodded, looking confused. "I forgot to give this to you. It's twins." she said digging one of the ultrasound pictures from her bag and giving it to him. "Anyway, would you rather my children have an idiot with enemies at every corner for a father? Would you rather all of these enemies attempting to murder these kids every time he made a mistake? Or would you rather they have a nice, responsible father who will do everything they can to protect them, to keep them alive. Because I know what kind of father I want Damon to be. And the fact that he's changed so much makes me love him even more." She said, taking her arms away from my neck and starting to tear up. She walked away, and I followed her.
"I'm sorry Damon. I shouldn't have acted like that. I think these hormones are getting in my head." She laughed. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulling her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I lifted her up a bit, well I tried to at least. She was starting to get heavier. I gave up and put her down so I could just hug her.
"Hey, he shouldn't have said those things about me. Everyone says I am a better person now, more worthy to be your husband. Everyone likes me better now, you love me more for becoming more responsible, hell, even I like me better now. I like the fact that you are going to be mine forever and that we are starting a family and that you think I am a responsible father. Well, that I will be one. And I love you so much." I said. She had stopped crying, and looked alarmed as she let go of me and walked around me to get behind me. I turned around and saw why she was so frightened. Klaus.
Elena pov.
I was moved by Damons speach. He made me realise just how much more I love him like this, as the responsible man I am going to marry in a years time. And I can not wait. But then I saw him. I saw the man who I now realise will try to kill my children. I put my hand on my belly protectively and walked around Damon trying to get a better view. It really was him. Damon must have seen him too, because he pulled me back behind him to protect me and the babies from him. From Klaus.
"Well, well, well I see the rumours are true. The doppleganger is human and having a child with none other than Damon Salvatore. How very lucky for me." Klaus said, grinning. Damon put his hand on top of mine and squeezed my fingers.
"What do you want, Klaus?" Damon said, his voice shaking. Klaus grinned that devilish grin that only Caroline could stand and took a step closer to us. Damon pushed me back a bit.
"I want to see that your child is born safe and healthy, so I can use their blood to make more hybrids. It's as simple as that." Klaus said. He took yet another step forward, and this time Damon stepped back.
"Why do you need my child Klaus? I can make a deal with you." I began, letting out a breath I didn't realise I'd been holding. "Every month or so, I will fill a blood bag with my blood and give it to you to give to your hybrids. But, I will not if you ever try to harm my child. I will have him or her hidden away from everyone, even us, and I will kill myself so you can never make another hybrid." I said fiercly. Damon turned his head to look at me, but when I shook my head he turned back around. I knew I had just hit a nerve with both Damon and Klaus. I gave Damon's hand a quick squeeze, just becuase I could, and looked Klaus in the eye. He nodded. "Deal. And I swear I will never lay a finger on your child. Nor will any of my hybrids, or my family. Your child will never come to any harm. I swear to you." he said. I nodded and so did Damon, but ever so slightly. I moved forward to shake Klaus's hand on it. Damon stood frozen to the spot. I felt really bad but I had hit a nerve without intending to. But did I? I neded to make Klaus think it was real and the only way I could do that would be to make Damon think it was real. We stared at one another until Klaus got bored and walked away. Damon turned around and I knew I was in for a scolding.
"Did you really just threaten to hide our children from me and then kill yourself? Because if you did then I have no idea where the woman I am going to marry has gone and who this person is. And I have no intention to find out, I just want my fiancee back." He said, his eyes prickling with tears after what I had just said to Klaus. He waited for a response and when he didn't get one he turned away and started walking home.
"DAMON WAIT!" I screamed after him and started running after him, my eyes now pouring with tears I didn't even realise had been there. "DAMON!" I screamed over and over again until he finally looked back at me. I ran up into his arms and started letting myself cry properly. He wrapped his arms around my back and started crying into my shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I just needed to hit one of Klaus's nerves. I had to, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm so, so sorry Damon. Please forgive me." I said between sobs. He pulled away from the hug and kissed me softly. We stayed there for what felt like hours, never wanting to let go. Eventually, we felt a kick against my stomach which was pressed against his. We looked at the bump and started laughing. God, I miss this. Hugging and being together and not caring who sees us and judges us, because right now all that matters is that I love Damon Salvatore. And I am the soon to be Elena Salvatore. I really can't wait.
We let go of each other and walked home hand in hand, me occassionally placing his hand on my stomach when I felt one of the babies kicking. It was happy, and I knew I would have to let Caroline know that Klaus is back. She would rather me tell her than anyone else.
Me: Hey, Care. Get to the boarding house ASAP, need to tell you something very important. xo
Caroline: In mine and Stefan's room.
I smiled at that and walked down the hall to Caroline and Stefan's room. I opened the door to see Caroline getting dressed and Stefan concealed under the duvets.
"Sorry for... interrupting. But it's urgent, I swear to you." I said. Stefan lifted his head and Caroline turned around looking concerned.
"What is it 'Lena?" She asked. I took a deep breath, and walked over to Caroline and hugged her.
"Klaus is back." I said. She gasped.
