Hello people! I know the last chapter was a bit short so I made this one extra long to make up for it. I kind of really liked this chapter, I really hope you guys will as well!


Chapter 3

Elena could hardly sit still during dinner that night and when her uncle told them about the young doctor who was coming there to work with him she had to bite her lip until it was bleeding to keep herself from beaming. It became even harder when the uncle announced that if this young man was a good doctor he was going to offer him to stay and take over the practise when Elena's uncle got too old. He was already feeling old and nobody in the family was or wanted to become a doctor.

After dinner Elena locked herself in her room and waited for Damon to arrive. She knew that she couldn't just meet him at the door and jump into his arms, since her uncle knew nothing of their love. Just as Elena was trying to figure out the best way to get Damon alone, there was a knock at the door and when she got up and opened Caroline stood outside.

"We need to come up with a way to get you and Damon alone" was the first thing she said after walking right into Elena's room.

"Just what I was thinking about" Elena told her. "But I haven't figured it out"

"I might have" Caroline smiled and pushed Elena down on the bed and sat down next to her.

"What?" Elena asked, eager to hear.

"I'll get Damon to take an evening walk when he gets here, and we'll come up with a place where you can wait and I'll lead him there. I was thinking behind the stable"

Elena nodded, it was a good idea. "And after I meet him, you leave too right?" She loved her cousin but she wanted to be completely alone with Damon when he came.

Caroline laughed. "Of course! Elena, I may be a bit annoying and dumb, but I get the need for privacy. And then I can expect you to return the favour when Klaus comes here in two weeks."

"Klaus is coming?" Elena asked, not at all expecting that.

"Yeah, he promised when he left me at the train station today" Caroline smiled. "He is free from the newspaper in two weeks, and he'll have three weeks leave, so he's coming to see me!"

"That's great Care, I'm happy for you!" Elena said, and she really was. Caroline had had her share of men just wantig her for her father's money or the fact that she looked good. Klaus didn't care for those things. He had moved to the states from England two years ago when he finished school and got a job as a journalist so he got to travel alot. He and Caroline met in New Orleans and then she followed him to New York when his work took him there. He loved her for just being her ad that was exactly what Caroline needed.

"But Care" Elena said after thinking for a few minutes. "I don't want to see him before I can see him."

Caroline looked completely comfused and Elena realized that what she said sounded odd.

"I mean that I want to go down to greet our new doctor and be forced to pretend I don't know him. I just want to run into his arms, you know?"

"Yeah" Caroline responded and sat still for a moment, thinking. "I've got it!" she said after a while. "I'll go down to greet him and tell father that you were tired and needed to rest, that is if he even asks about you, and then you'll come down after Damon has gone and say that you're going for a walk. Problem solved!"

"It a good idea Care" Elena smiled and heard a knock on the door. "Come in" she called, since she knew the door was open. A maid came in.

"Excuse me miss Caroline, miss Elena, but Dr. Forbes told me to tell you that the young doctor has arrived.

Elena stared at Caroline, a smile forming on her lips and Caroline smiled back at her.

"I'll make sure father doesn't need him for too long tonight" she promised and left Elena alone in her room with her thoughts, thoughts only of Damon.

Caroline walked down the stairs slower than she wanted, but she didn't want her father to be suspicious. He was standing in hall walking to a man with raven hair who had his back to the stairs. A man she knew to be Damon Salvatore.

"Well, Mr. Salvatore, it's nice to see you again so soon." she called halfway down the stairs. Her father looked up at her and Damon turned and smiled when he saw her.

"Same to you miss Forbes" he took her hand when she got down and kissed it.

"Yes" Caroline's father said behind them. "I understand you two already know each other."

"Yes I had the opportunity of meeting your lovely daughter in New York when I was visiting my brother there." Damon explained. "It's thanks to her I knew I could look for a job here."

"How fortunate." Dr. Frobes said. "I shall go and tell the maids to prepare your room, Mr. Salvatore." he continued as he turned and walked away.

"Thank you Sir!" Damon called after him before turning to Caroline, grabbing her arm. "Where is Elena?"

"She didn't want to have your reunion in front of father, so right now she is tired and resting, and later I will take you to a spot outside to meet her, a bit more privatly. You can thank me later." Caroline smiled, according to her this was the best plan ever, mostly because it was her plan. She had more practise breaking the rules of society than Elena had,.

"Resting?" Damon asked, looking a bit worried. "Is she not well?"

Caroline didn't really know what to say. There was nothing wrong with Elena but she sure had a situation, with the baby and all. "It's not my place to tell you." She told him, which only seemed to make him look more worried. But before he could ask more Dr. Forbes returned.

"Your rooms are ready and there is food ready in the kitchen as well if you are hungry after your journey."

"That's very kind of you Sir, but I think I will just leave my bags and than I'll take a walk around the gardens. I could use some fresh air."

Caroline's father nodded, he always improved of anybody who wanted to be outdoors. He told Damon to come with him to show him his rooms and Caroline ran up the stairs to tell Elena to go outside.


It was a bit cold outside and Elena pulled her jacket closer around her for warmth, not that it helped much. It was the end of September and summer was completely gone now. Elena realized she should have grabbed a warmer jacket or at least a blanket or something to bring with her. She turned quickly when she heard footsteps and Caroline's voice.

"Just behind the stable" she said.

Elena's heart started beating faster, because she knew he was just seconds away. She started walking slowly in the direction where she had heard Caroline's voice. And when she turned around the corner he was there.

"Damon" she breathed before she ran right into his open arms. He laughed and lifted her of her feet, spinning her around. She laughed, but seconds later she felt that her stomach didn't agree with the spinning.

"Damon" she managed to get out. "Put me down, now."

He quickly let her go and stared at her as she tried to collect herself and make the nausea go away, but it didn't seem to work, it only got worse.

"Oh no" she mumbled and ran over to a nearby bush and threw up behind it. She heard both Damon and Caroline hurry to her side and felt one of Damon's hands holding her hair out of the way while his other hand slowly stroke her back. When she was done she wiped her mouth and leaned back into his chest and he sat down with her in his arms.

"Where did that come from?" he asked, grabbing her hand, stroking his thumb over it. When she didn't answer he lifted his other hand and turned her face to look at him. "Elena is something wrong? Something you're not telling me?"

She slowly shook her head and shivered. She didn't know what to say to him, how to tell him.

"You're cold" he said. It wasn't a question, and even if it had been the answer would have been yes. She was freezing.

"I'll go get you some blankets" she heard Caroline say and turned to smile at her, silently thanking her. In return Caroline gave her a look that could only mean one thing; "tell him!"

"Damon" Elena started, unsure how to say this.

"You're too cold Elena" he interrupted her, and shrugged his own jacket off, wrapping it around her and then pulling her into his arms, running his hands over her arms and back to keep her warm.

"Damon" she said again, pulling away from his arms to look at him. "Damon I need to tell you something"

He didn't say anything, just stared at her, waiting for what she was going to say.

"Damon, I…" she sighed, gathered some courage and looked into his eyes. "I'm pregnant, Damon."


AND, there we have it! They are reunited, and Elena has told Damon her news. You'll have to wait till next time to see his reaction though, I really hope I can have a new chapter up for you guys soon! There was something else I wanted to ask you though. Have you guys read my older story "The 1950's"? I wrote like two chapters on it and then I got so many new ideas and now I just fid it boring to write, so I was thinking about deleting it, since I may not finish it. But I wanted to know what you guys think first. Should I keep it and see if I finish it some day, or shoud I just delete it?

Love to you all from me!
