"Get to know you better," he said, helping her of the sofa. "Or play football."

"We can do both," she said. "We can sit out, and watch Stefan play with his brother."

"Okay," He answered, taking Gabriella upstairs to bed.

"So," she started. "What's your favourite colour?"

"Green and red," he answered, as she laid down on her pillow.

"How old are you?" She asked.

"I'm a 18 year-old," he said, pulling the quilt over her. "I grew up in L.A, and my home town is Calabasas. I've never had a brother or sister. I only had My parents, who rarely talked to me, but loved me. Until, they never saw me again.

Then I had a girlfriend that dumped me. But that was before I met you."

"You loved me, even before you met me?" She questioned.

"Yes," he said, getting in beside her, and putting his arm over her stomach.

"Why are you putting your arm over my stomach?" She asked.

"To make sure it's protected for our children," he told her. "When their born into your womb."

'I'll be a mother.' She thought to herself.

Later that night, Gabriella woke up screaming and crying. Waking up Tyler.

"What's wrong?" He asked, taking her in his arms.

"I had a nightmare about my mother," she cried. "Saying that she wanted nothing to do with me anymore, and also saying that her life would be easier without me. But also, she said that she didn't want me as a child. Or a baby. I can't believe she would say that."

"It's okay," he said. "Don't worry. I can take care of you. Even as you get pregnant."

"I know," she said, when he dried her tears away.

"Go and get some water," he told her. "Then come back to bed."

"Or I can get it for her," A voice called.

"Okay," Gabriella said, as she collapsed, and as, Tyler catched her and laid her on the bed.

"Is she okay?" He asked Tyler.

"She collapsed," he explained. "But she'll be alright. I'll let you know if she wakes up, or if she's in a coma."

"Okay," he said, leaving the room.

After he left, Gabriella woke up to Tyler, who was holding her hand.

"Gabriella," he asked, worriedly. "I was worried about you. But other than that, your okay."

"I know," she said, while Damon put a glass of water on the bedside table, then he left the room to let Tyler and Gabriella have some time alone.

"Are you pregnant?" He asked.

"I don't know," she said, sitting up and putting her head up against the wall.

"Well," He said. "Let me know when you are pregnant."

She took a sip of water and went to the toilet, and threw-up. She came back out, as Tyler helped her into bed.

"You were right," she told him. "I am pregnant. But the best way to find out. Is to have a pregnancy test done, and to tell you that your going to be a father."

"Okay," he said. "I'll take you to the hospital in the morning."

She got under the quilt, laying her head on the pillow. Tyler got in after her, and kissed her lips. And laid his hand on her stomach, to see if it had a baby inside it.

"I'm gonna to take good care of you," he whispered into her ear.

"I know," she whispered back to him, when he took her into his arms.

They both fell asleep in each other's arms.


The next day, Tyler had done what he had told Gabriella. He took her to the hospital. To see if she was really pregnant with a baby.

"Gabriella Montez," The doctor called.

"Coming," she yelled, as Tyler helped her out of the chair.

They both went down into the doctors office, and sat down in the patient seat.

"Hi," the doctor said. "I'm Doctor Cooper."

"Hi," he said. "We came for a blood test."

"We can see if she's pregnant," he said, as she got on the Ultrasound bed.

"Lie down," doctor Cooper said, getting Ultrasound machine ready.

He put a pair of globes on, then put the gel on. Then saw a baby's head.

"She's pregnant," he told the both of them. "It's a girl."

"Wow," she said, as he wiped the gel away. With some tissue.

"And Gabriella," he called. "Make sure you eat healthy."

"Okay," She said. "I will. My boyfriend will remind me. It's good for the baby's health."

"That's right," He said, also taking a little bit of blood from her. Even from Tyler.

They got back into their car and drove back to the Salvatore house.

"Damon," Tyler said, entering the house.

"Yes," he answered. "What is it?"

"We're having a girl," he told him. "And we're planning on moving into a house here in Mystic Falls. But can come down and see us."

"Okay," he said. "But will the baby be alright?"

"Yes," he said. "The baby will be born here first, and then, we'll move into a five bedroom house. That is exactly like this one. But I'll ask her to marry me first."

"Okay." He replied. "But make sure she gets some rest."

"She will," he promised. "She will."

"But you have to get her to agree on moving in with you." He yelled. "And you have the house to yourselves. Me and my brother are going hunting tonight."

"Okay," he said, as Gabriella came into the house and laid down on the sofa.

"Our little girl will love it here," He said, kissing her lips.

"I know she will," she said, feeling the baby kick from inside her.

"Damon said we've got the house to ourselves," He told her. "And you have to agree to move in with me. Also into another house, so we can raise her."

"Okay," She said. "But you still have to get to know me better."

"I know," he answered. "You even have to marry me."

"It has to be before the baby is born," she replied to him. Taking an apple from the kitchen.

"Okay," he said, getting down on one knee, and took a box out of his pocket. "Gabriella, will you marry me?"

"Yes," she smiled, as he pulled her in for a hug. "A thousand times yes."

"I am so happy," he grinned, when Gabriella sat back down on the sofa, as he slid the ring onto her finger.

"Which date should we get married on?" She asked.

"February 6th." He said, kissing her lips and fore-head.

"I was thinking of getting one of our friends to organise the wedding for us," she told him, responding to his kiss.

"How about one of my closest friends?" He asked. "Melinda Gates is one, or Allyson Tinker, my mother."

"Allyson," she answered. "Did she ever take care of you?"

"Yes," he replied. "She was always there. But what about yours?"

"She was never there for me," she said. "She wasn't there when Troy hurt me, by twisting my ankle. When I couldn't move on it."

"So she shut you out?" He asked.

"Not only me," she said. "But also my father, who rarely knew me. I was brought up to be their daughter they never talked to. I knew Dimitri was able to help, and now, that I am with you. I can finally have a life without being lonely. Or hurt. By the people who hate me."

"I felt that way too," he answered. "My mother would always shut my father out of her life. I could feel it from her."

"She didn't know what to do," she told him. "And got herself pregnant again."

"You shouldn't worry about her," he said, seeing her tears. "Because she ain't worth it. We won't invite her. Unless she can charge her act towards you."

"Okay," She said, putting her hands over her flat pregnant stomach.

"Lets get you to bed," he said, picking her up bridal style.

"Okay," She said, eating her apple and throwing its core away.

"Rest," he told her, rubbing her stomach in circles, before she got up and ran to the toilet to throw up.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Just threw up," she said, as he rubbed circles on her back.

"Your gonna have that for a while," he said, getting a glass of water for her.

"I need to rest," she said, getting up off the floor, and going to bed, when he followed after her. Laying down beside her, whilst she slept in peace.

"Your gonna be a great daughter," he whispered, to her stomach. "We won't shut you out. Like our parents did to us. You'll be loved by us."


The next morning, Tyler went to find a home, so he and his fiancee could live in.

He had a look at a two bedroom house, before going back home to her.

"I found the perfect house to live in," he told her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "And its got two bedrooms. One us and one for the baby."

"That's wonderful," she told him. "When do we move into the new house?"

"Tonight," he repeated. "We move tonight."

"Okay," She said. "We need to get the baby clothes ready, and the nursery ready."

"I know," he said. "I love you."

"I love you too," she told him. "I think she's going to born in September."

"Or October." He said, as they headed towards Albuquerque to pack her things into her boxes.

"Gabriella," her mother shouted. "What are you doing?"

"I'm moving away," she told her, putting her boxes into the boot of the car.

"I'm glad," she shouted. "It means I did the right thing by shutting you out of my life forever, and I can enjoy my life with my new daughter. You are no longer my daughter, Gabriella."

Gabriella cried when her mother slapped her across the face, as Damon put the rest of the boxes into the car. When Tyler took Gabriella into his arms.

"Tyler," Stefan yelled. "Put Gabriella into car. Damon, Elena and I, will deal with her mother."

He put Gabriella in the car, as she cried herself to sleep, laying her down in the back seats.

"You'll be alright," he told her. "And so is the baby."

"Tyler," Klaus said. "We can take her to new Orleans. So you can start a life there with her.

Tyler laid Gabriella's head on his lap, and stroked her hair.

"She's having it hard," he explained "Her mother shuts her out, and slaps her own daughter across the face. Elena, Stefan and Damon, came to help. She needs to stay away from Albuquerque."

"I know," he said. "That's why we're taking her to new Orleans, so she won't get hurt again. She needs to know that she's safe. From all of that. We even can help take care of her."

"Me and Haley agreed to taking her in as our own daughter," he said. "We won't be like that witch who slapped her."

He kissed his adoptive daughter's forehead.

"She's carrying a baby girl," he told him. "I'll have to call Doctor Cooper and tell him that we've moved away.

"Stefans told him," he said. "You won't need to worry, and I know about the child she's carrying."

"Oh," he said, as they parked up in a parking lot for the night. And stayed at a motel for the night, whilst Tyler and Gabriella slept, Klaus filled up the car with some petrol. It took six days to get there.

"We're here," he told her, as they carried her things into their new home.

"Klaus, thank you," he said, putting the boxes into the living room, bedroom and into the kitchen.

"Your welcome," he said. "Elijah will be by to help out with her boxes. She'll need to be on bed rest. And you could feed her while she rest. I could help around the house. But it's only for today."

Elijah arrived in time to help his brother sort all the stuff out and when they were done, they left the house.

"Is our baby alright?" She asked.

"Yes," he said. "Klaus has told me to put you on bed rest. It means you lay in bed, or the couch."

"Okay," She said. "But I am counting on you to look after my stomach."

"I intend to do that," he said. "Starting now. Would you like some salad?"

"Yes," she answered. "I would love some salad."

"I'll go into the kitchen to make some," he said. "Whilst you rest."

While he did that, she read a book called The Hunger Games, and she put it on the bedside table, when her fiancee came back into the room, to give her salad to her.

"Here you go," he told her, as she began to eat.

"Thank you," She said, kissing his lips, and started to eat her food.

"So," he answered. "Who should we invite to the wedding?"

"Your mother, Damon, Stefan, Elena, Klaus and Elijah." She answered. "Also we can invite my worse friend, Taylor and Kelsi."

"But we need our aunts to come to," He said, almost forgetting them.

"What's your aunts name?" She asked. "My aunts name is Maria Louise Montez."

"My aunts name is Sarah," He said. "she used to play with me a lot when I was a child."

"Invite her," she answered. "she seems nice to have around."

"I will invite her," He replied. "But will she get along with our child being born? And will she get along with you?"
