Elena's POV
I'm still embarassed even tho it's been three weeks since the 'incident'. I can't believe that he would...no wait, It is Damon I'm talking about. Speaking of the devil. "Hey, don't forget the doctor's appointment is this wednesday at 2: 15, if you wanted to go."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Damon...?"
"Yes Elena?" he replies with a smirk.
"Are you even a little terrified?" I asked. "I mean we don't even know what this child may turn out to be..." I bit my lip confessing my scary thoughts. "He or she could be a monster...wait that didn't come out right." I tried thinking of another way to put it. "What if we can't control our child? I mean half human- half vampire. How is that going to work?"
He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist. "Elena, everything's going to be fine." he reassures me. "Every little kid is a monster. There are many parents who can't control their children. But they don't have something that this child does. "
He gives me that bad boy smile that I love so much.
"Which is...?'
"You for a mom."
"Awe, Damon. "
"I could always compell our child to behave. It's the gift that every parent would wish that they had."
I couldn't help but to laugh. I love that he can make me laugh when I need him to.
"You're right about that. I'm glad I have you to talk to." I smile at him and kiss him. "Have you talked to Stefan about this?"
"Yes and he is surprisingly thrilled. He had always wanted to be a dad but he would settle for being an uncle."
"Wow."
"He actually invited us over later."
"He did?"
"Yeah, he wants to have a family dinner... whatever that's like. We can head over now...he did say 6"
"What time is it?"
"6:30..."
"Damon! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Slipped my mind...?"
We arrive at the boarding house at 6:45. Damon drove like a bat out of hell. I was practically yelling at him the whole time. He drove faster and said it was because he didn't want to be any later than he had to be. I think the real reason was because he didn't want to hear me bitch anymore.
Damon opens the door and holds it for me. I walk in and a crowd of people jump out from around the furniture. "Surprise!" They all yell. I jumped 10 feet in the air my heart racing. "Holy Shit!" I cover my mouth not realizing what I said until it came out of my mouth. Damon put his arm on my side.
"Elena, calm down it's just a party."
My heart was racing still. I don't know why it wouldn't settle down. I started to feel butterflies in my stomach. I look down and see my bump; it's noticable but not too big yet and I see my belly moving my shirt.
"Damon. Look."
Damon looks and sees how my shirt keeps moving. I look at him and he's grinning ear to ear. "He's strong like his daddy." he states proudly.
"He...huh? So you think it's a boy?"
"Maybe. We should probably make our rounds everyone is here for us."
I had just completely forgot all about it. Wow I must really be getting the pregnancy brain already.
Stefan comes over and has a big smile on his face. "Surprised you huh?" He asked feeling pretty impressed with himself. "I could hear Elena's heart from a mile away." he says jokingly.
"Funny... I feel so bad. Everyone had to wait for us for almost an hour."
"Not really. I figured Damon would forget so I made it for 6:30."
"Good call." Damon states with a smile.
Damon leaves to talk to Rick.
"Elena, I do want to thank you tho. You've completely turned him around."
"It's incredibly weird. But I know my brother, and I know he's better with you than without you.
A few hours later, everyone's pretty much drunk besides me for obvious reasons. It's so funny watching people.
"I should be upstairs grooming my hero hair." Stefan says out of the blue.
"Are you drunk?" Damon asks him.
"I don't know, Mom, am I?"
"Well. Seeing as how you called me mom instead of dad, I'm pretty sure that's a yes."
"Yeah. I'm not gonna lie. I'm feeling pretty good."
"I was hoping we could hang tomorrow. You know a little brother bonding. I know we don't actually hang out. We team up, we join forces, we activate our Wonder twin powers. " said Damon.
I couldn't help but laugh. These two, I'm telling you. haha
"Well, I'm feeling tired." I said while letting a yawn slip out involuntarily.
"Well then, I should be getting you home." He grabs the keys out of his pocket. I grab them from him.
"I'll drive. You've been drinking."
"Good idea." he slurs.
I hug Stefan goodbye and make my rounds letting everyone know I appreciate them coming out and celebrating with us. We get into the SUV and I make my way home. Damon turns the radio up so it's blaring. I turn it back down.
"What's the matter Elena? You used to like jamming out in the car. Remember our road trip to Georgia. That's when I found out how much fun you could be." He says smiling remembering every detail of the trip.
I see the Wickery Bridge knowing that it would take only ten more minutes to get home.
My eyes keep switching between the road and him. "I remember," I chuckled. "It's hard to forget." I look back at the road and see someone waving their arms around in the middle of the bridge. I was going too fast to stop. I slam on my breaks and swerve just missing the man. It was too late to see the car and we hit it.
Stranger's POV
Finally someone's coming. They can help me get to a garage. I start waving my arms to get their attention. They must not see me yet. I keep waving, I realize that they're not slowing down. "Watch out!" I yell at them. They obviously couldn't hear me. Just then I hear the tires screech trying to stop, the car swerves hitting my car then the guard rail. Before I knew what had happened, there was a huge splash." The black SUV wrecked into the water beneath the bridge.
"Yes Stefan, I`ve become you. How tragic for both of us. "
There`s no such thing as a bad idea. Only poorly executed awesome ones. "
