Lets Start Today, A New

In the future

"Your boarding pass miss," asked one of the flight attendants looking at me. She took my boarding pass from my outstretched hand and read over the details on my boarding pass. "Seat 4a, is on your left, have a safe flight Miss Gilbert!" she said before then taking Caroline's ticket. Bonnie was already in her seat when I got there. I sat in the middle seat, shoving my bag underneath the seat in front of us.

"O-M-G" squealed Caroline, a little too loud in the already packed flight.

"What?" Said Bonnie

"Those guys are on our flight" Caroline spoke again.

"The hot ones?" I asked

"Yeah, they're two seats ahead of us!" said Caroline.

"I've got an idea" I spoke up, "how about you two go talk to them and I'll stay here and read the safety demonstration card!"

"No, no Elena" said Caroline "you are coming with us!" Caroline unlatched her seatbelt and just as she was about to get up one of the flight attendants told us we were about to take off. With that Caroline grumbled and re-attached her seatbelt as Bonnie and I giggled at her misfortune.

"That's fine" Said Caroline, "Don't worry guys, I will try and talk to them when we are in the air!"

Bonnie and I looked at each other and smiled, "Here, Caroline" I said passing her the safety demonstration card, "this will keep you busy till then!" Caroline unwillingly grabbed the safety demonstration card from my hand and began reading it, probably taking nothing in.

Throughout the duration of take off and when we were in the air, Caroline, Bonnie and I discussed what living in New York would be like. The three of us are renting an apartment on West 73rd street; it's a beautiful brownstone that is only forty minutes from school. We had already bought furniture and had it all moved in a few weeks ago, now it was only ourselves that needed moving in.

"Tea or coffee?" asked a flight attendant, who pushed a trolley with various beverages. The three of us declined any drinks but ordered a sandwich each. We had been in the air for over an hour and I was halfway threw 500 Days of Summer and noticed Caroline staring at me in the corner of my eye, whilst

"What is it Caroline?" I asked not really expecting the answer to be interesting.

"Nothing, just watching Tom and Summer's amazing love story, or lack there of.

"Yes, Caroline, I know how much you don't like Summer and her unwillingness to love Tom," I said looking at her.

"Yes, your right Elena, I do not like Summer, but I um have to um," she continued to stutter, "go to the bathroom," she said before taking off her seatbelt and running down the isle to the bathroom.

"What was that?" I asked Bonnie, who was still eating her sandwich and watching she's just not that into you.

"You didn't see that?" Bonnie replied.

"What, see what?" I asked whilst pausing Tom and Summer as they bicker about whether or not they are in love.

"She has been eye stalking one of the hot guys the entire flight, the one in the red, I can't believe you haven't notice!" Bonnie said smiling at me and giggling at the puzzled facial expression that has now taken over my face. I moved my body into Caroline's seat and looked down the isle. I caught a glimpse of Caroline and the man in the red talking to each other and laughing. Next to them was the man in the green, who as I watched Caroline and the guy in the red's conversation continue, the green guy was seeming more and more like a third wheel. I wasn't sure where the guy in the grey had gone, but seeing as Caroline was in his seat, I would say she waited for him to go to the bathroom and then went and stole his seat. Caroline caught my eye as she turned her head slightly to the side, I motioned my hand at her and she quickly turned her head back to the front and continued the conversation with red guy. I shimmied my body back into my seat and resumed 500 Days of Summer, only to find Tom being broken hearted over Summer's new engagement to a stranger. As I continued to watch their love story or as Caroline always puts it 'lack there of', I realised that just like Summer, Damon isn't the only one. As Tom's days flew by rather slowly, the airhostess came to our seats to collect rubbish. The airhostess walked away after I had deposited Bonnie's, Caroline's and my own rubbish into the bin the airhostess was holding. I was just about to resume the last ten minutes of the movie when the seat next to me suddenly felt occupied. My eye caught a grey colour worn by an unknown somewhat muscular figure to my right. My head slowly turned to meet this unknown figure and I was greeted with a genuine smile, which I reciprocated. The grey man that I had been eyeballing at the airport café, replaced Caroline in her seat.

"Ah Hi!" I said, somewhat unsure of how to begin.

"Hi, I'm Matt" he said extending his hand.

"Elena" I said shaking it.

"So, if you're a little confused as to why I'm sitting here, your friend Caroline stole my seat and then told me to come talk to you" he said nodding his head slowly.

"Yes, that sounds like Caroline" I replied.

"Hey, I'm Matt" Matt said again stretching out a hand to Bonnie, who gladly took it and introduced herself. After the introductions were out of the way Bonnie resumed watching her movie and Matt and I got to know each other. "So your going to Columbia and your studying what?" asked Matt, intrigued.

"I'm majoring in criminal law," I said "and Caroline is doing the same thing".

"Oh that's interesting, the criminal law thing, I have a friend studying criminal law as well!" Matt said facing me.

"Yeah, it hopefully will be," I said "Bonnie is doing psychology" I said motioning my hand at Bonnie who seemed very interested in the movie.

"So Matt what are you studying?" I asked intrigued.

He laughed before he spoke, "funnily enough I'm doing corporate law, so we will all probably run into one another."

"Yes, I hope so" I said in reply, smiling at Matt as I said it.

"So why did you want to get into law?" Matt asked.

"My mother did law and it seemed interesting, so I pursued it" I replied truthfully.

"Yes, I'm the same, except my father practices criminal law, he would love you!" Matt said again. I smiled in response. We had been in the for two hours and Matt and I had been talking for roughly forty minutes about what we hoped to do in the future, where we had been and even lightly touched the surface about our exes. Damon didn't come up that much and if he did, I didn't talk about him for long. Despite Damon and I being together for over a year and it was a great love if ever there one, but even being with Matt for forty minutes, made me not want to talk about Damon, but instead talk about him and myself. Our bodies were no longer dramatically separated, we were close enough but far away. I had completely forgotten that Bonnie was even next to me, when I felt my eyes rise to his and my body move closer to him. Matt immediately did the same thing, I felt our lips touch and his hand grab the back of my head to hold me in place. Our mouths open and we began exploring one another's mouths. Our tongues moulded together and our breathing grew thick. It was amazing, this feeling of connection; a feeling that I thought only Damon could give me and although it wasn't as amazing as Damon's kiss what was still incredible. Our lips then broke away and we were staring at each other, me at his beautiful blue eyes and him at my brown ones. I whispered in his ear to 'take this somewhere more private,' which he gratefully accepted and before I registered he was leading me down the isle, past Caroline and red shirt whose mouths were devouring one another and into the vacant bathroom. Matt's fingers locked the door and then pulled his shirt over his head. Matt's body, not to my surprise was wonderfully sculptured. His muscles were strong looking and his arms were a wonderful size. I must have been staring at his abs for too long, because his hands then started to unbutton my jeans, although jugging by his facial expression he was very flattered. As he guided my jeans down my legs, I started to unbutton the four buttons on my shirt. Once both of us had finished our tasks of unclothing one another; which may I add is quite time consuming, our mouths found one another's again and we continued to explore. Matt was standing in only his briefs and me in only my bra and panties. My hair had fallen and fell loosely at my waist. Despite the lack of room in the cubical, Matt and I made it work. His amazing hands came around my ass and helped to lift me up, whilst my hands studied his abs and chest. Our mouths continued to come together, until I felt the sexual desire grow thicker in the cramped space. Matt's hands unclasped my bra, whilst mine pulled my panties down my lower body. I was naked and I didn't seem to mind, even though I was in an aircraft bathroom with a total stranger, this encounter felt good, as did the kisses and touches Matt was expressing on my aching breasts. His hands stayed at my breasts whilst I helped his last remaining item of clothing down his lower body. Matt moaned as I grabbed his erection in my hand, whilst I lowered to my knees on the bathroom floor. I worked my hand up and down it, giving Matt instant obvious pleasure.

"Ohhhhh yeaaaahhhh" he groaned as I roughly grabbed his dick and shoved it into my mouth. Swallowing it over and over again, as Matt released his cum into my awaiting mouth. I released him from my grasp, which elicited another groan from Matt, although was quickly replaced by his desire to be inside me. Matt grabbed me by the shoulders, somewhat roughly and hoisted my up around his waist. We began kissing again, whist Matt's hands awkwardly went to my inner folds until I was wet enough for Matt to go in. As Matt thrust into me, I shyly moaned, which propelled Matt to go faster. Several thrusts latter Matt and I were gasping for limited air in the cubical. We got off one another and dressed quickly, Matt and I exchanged numbers once we were dressed and I decided I should probably leave first. I kissed Matt once more on the lips and unlocked the door, before exiting the cubical, passing Matt's two friends who looked at me and chuckled and I went swiftly down the isle and sat in my seat, between Bonnie and Caroline.

-Line Break-

Present Day

I poured myself a tea and placed two pieces of toast in the toaster. "Is one of those for me?" said Jeremy walking into the kitchen.

"Nope sorry, but there is some in the fridge if you wont to get it yourself!" I stated smiling at my wit.

"Fine whatever" he said before opening the fridge and pulling out the toast and some orange juice. I heard the toaster pop and outshot my breakfast. I grabbed the toast and started to butter it, whilst checking the time on the TV. "Jeremy" I said, not knowing how to start.

"Is the toaster ready?" he said whilst walking over to where I was standing and placing his toast in.

"Jeremy, I need to tell you something," I said, his face now searching mine for answers.

"What, what is it?" he asked.

"Jeremy, this is really hard for me to tell you, but I'm, I'm," I stuttered, unsure of whether to just blurt it out.

"Elena tell me, what is it?" he stated.

"Jeremy, I'm pregnant!" I blurted out. Not really wanting to tell him like this while we were making toast but it seemed like the quickest and easiest way. Jeremy was, besides Damon the last person that needed to know.

He looked at me; eyes wide and then he shut them, for only the briefest moment. He looked at me again, before asking, "is it Damon's?"

That was the last question I expected him to ask, "of course its Damon's Jer!" I said, making him probably feel like an idiot for asking.

"Well, I was wondering why you were eating more than usual!" he said again, trying to subtly recover.

"Jeremy there is something else, I haven't told Damon, I have only told you, Jenner, Bonnie and Caroline, so do not under any circumstances tell anybody else ok?"

"I won't Elena, I promise," he said pulling me into his embrace. Being pregnant not only got me sympathy but I was being hugged all the time.

After a few minutes, Jeremy and I parted, our connection suddenly becoming slightly awkward. "Good morning, you too" said Jenner coming down the steps and walking into the kitchen to join us.

"Good morning aunt Jenner," said Jeremy.

"Coffee" I said motioning toward the pot. Jenner nodded as she and Jeremy went and sat down at the kitchen table. I poured some coffee into a cup for Jenner and sat it down in front of her. She smiled at me and nodded as a thank you.

"So Elena, told me about the bun in the oven" said Jeremy, whilst looking to Jenner and then to me, smiling.

"Jeremy I didn't tell you that so you could say stuff like that," I said irritated. Jenner started laughing, whilst Jeremy got up, plate in hand and put it in the sink. "Well congratulations" said Jeremy, another attempt to mock me I thought. "I'm late for school, I'll see you when I get home mom!" he said before kissing me on the head and grabbing his bag that was sitting at the bottom of the stairs and walked out the door. Jenner laughed at me once again, before grabbing today's paper from the table and started reading the headlines.

I got up and washed the plates, before sitting back down next to Jenner.

"What time is the appointment?" Jenner asked taking away the sudden quiet that had formed in the room.

"Nine thirty" I said suddenly glancing at the clock. Nine thirty was in fifteen minutes. How had the time gone that quick?

"How convenient Elena, booking it on a school day" Jenner said glancing at me with a suspicious stare.

"It was the only one this week I could get with that doctor," I said truthfully.

"Alright, well I'll get my purse and the keys and meet you in the car in five, alright?" Jenner said before sculling her coffee.

"Ok" I replied before running up the stairs and into my bedroom. I got my bag and placed the two books I needed for school today in them and glanced at my self in the mirror, before grabbing a hair tie and pulling my hair up into a ponytail. When I got downstairs, Jenner was already in the car, I locked the front door behind me and walked to the front porch, down the stairs and got in the passengers side. "Lets go," I said and Jenner drove the 10 minutes into town and found a park outside the doctor's office. We both went in and as Jenner found a seat in the already busy waiting room, I told the receptionist I was here.

After waiting in the waiting room for around 5 minutes, my name was called. Both Jenner and I got up, the doctor smiling at us as she lead us down the long corridor to her generously sized office. "Hi Elena, my name is Fell, I am going to be your Doctor throughout your pregnancy, please take a seat," she said motioning her hand to a seat for Jenner and motioning the bed for me. I sat on the bed, letting my legs dangle from it.

"So Elena, I understand that you are eight weeks along?" said Dr Fell looking at her clipboard and then looking at me.

"Yeah that's right," I said nodding. She started to scribble stuff down on her clipboard, before asking the next question.

"Elena, when was the first day of your last menstrual cycle?" she said, not looking up from the clipboard.

Luckily I worked out and wrote it down the day I found out I was pregnant. "It was the August 29th," I said proudly.

"Ok and have you noticed any symptoms or problems since your last period? These symptoms can include morning sickness," she asked.

"No I haven't, everything has been pretty normal, it almost feels as if I'm not pregnant!" I said

"Yes that can be very normal" she said relaxing me. "Elena have you had any previous sexually transmitted diseases?" she asked.

"No!" I responded blankly, "No I haven't".

She looked down at the clipboard and asked if I had been pregnant before, I answered no honestly, whilst rocking my legs back and forth.

"Elena, do you smoke, drink alcohol or have used drugs during your pregnancy so far, or have done in the past that could impact on your pregnancy?"

"No!" I replied.

"Ok great" she responded, whilst writing down the results on the clipboard. After going through the options that I had about the pregnancy, asking me about my family history and Damon's, which I didn't know much about, she then told me she would be running some tests.

After completing all the tests in an hour, Dr Fell asked me to lie down and wait a few moments while she got the equipment ready for my first ultrasound. I smiled at Jenner, who had been excitedly waiting for the ultrasound all week.

Dr. Fell lifted up my top to expose my stomach. "This may be a bit cold!" stated Dr Fell, before squirting the blue gel onto my stomach. I flinched slightly as Dr Fell grabbed the transducer probe and rubbed it in circles on my stomach. The screen started to light up as Dr Fell started to move the tool around.

"Look Elena, this here" she said pointing at the area on the screen, "This is the head". Jenner smiled at me as I turned my head to fully see the screen. There where Dr Fell was pointing was the clear indication of a head, my baby's head.

"And here" Meredith began again pointing at a spot on the screen below the head, "that is the heart beat". I sighed, observing the miracle on the screen. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and looking at; the faint pitter-patter of a heart beat. The baby was small, about the size of raspberry. There was in some way the slight indentation of a hand and foot, but it wasn't clear enough. Jenner grabbed my hand as we stared at the heartbeat for five minutes. Dr Fell then turned off the monitor and the screen went black and my baby disappeared. She wiped my stomach, whilst I put my shirt back down. As I lifted up and twisted my body so that my legs were once again dangling from the bed, Dr Fell grabbed the clipboard once again. "So Elena, your baby is looking very healthy, so keep eating well and here are some foods and things that you need to stay away from. As you are eight weeks along, you will start to experience morning sickness, which is likely around the first trimester. I have determined the due date, which will be around Friday the 5th of June 2015. I have written down a list of prenatal vitamins that you can buy from the pharmacy in town," she said passing me a sheet of paper. She then gave me a rundown on any abnormal symptoms I may encounter and any discomforts I may have.

"Now Elena" she started again, "I would like to book your next appointment, to be in-" she started checking the calendar hanging on the wall. "Six weeks, you will be 15 weeks then" she said standing up and moving towards the door. Jenner scribbled down the date and time in her diary and the two of us got up from where we had been sitting for over an hour and walked to the door. "Elena if you have any questions or queries, don't hesitate to call, go down to the pharmacy to pick up the prenatal vitamins" she opened the door and Jenner and I walked out, "oh and Elena" she called after me, I turned around and heard her say "congratulations". Jenner and I walked out the doctor's office and into the car. Jenner drove me to pharmacy where we picked up some prenatal vitamins and then drove the five minutes to school. I arrived at the front gates; students were walking around talking and laughing.

"I love you Elena" Jenner said smiling at me and kissing me on the cheek.

"I love you too Jenner" I replied getting out of the car and walking into the grounds.
