Thanks for all the review and a big thanks to CHLOE2007 for writing the chapter please take a minute or two to write a review i would really appreciate it
The room was silent, you could hear a pin drop on the floor. Elena just stared at her family and friends, there bewildered looks upon there faces was emotionless
"How did this happen?" Caroline asked.
"Now come on Caro you know how this happened." Bonnie said, rolling her eyes at her slow friend.
"Yes Bonnie I know how it happened. Caroline protested, Weren't you guys using protection."
I've got to get out of here." Jeremy said standing up from his seat and grabbing his jacket from the coat rack and slamming the door as he left.
"Jeremy wait..." Elena said as she decided to go after her brother before Stefan held her back
"Give him time. Stefan said, quietly.
"But Stefan. One look at Stefan's face Elena just sighed, "Your right." She turned to look at Jenna who still had a stunned look on her face..."Jenna?"
"I don't want to hear it." Jenna said holding back a sob as she hurried up the stairs, Alaric not far behind her.
"Well that went well." Elena said, sadly as a tear slipped down her cheek, as she watched her family and friends all leave the room.
Stefan kissed her forehead and sighed. "There all just in shock. We'll give them a few minutes to let it all sink in and then we'll talk to them."
Jenna had gotten to the auditorium earlier then Alaric that afternoon so she decided to finish assembling the sets together. The news of her niece's pregnancy brought a shock to her, She wasn't ready to be Grandma or even Nana to a baby just yet.
"How's it going?" Rick said entering the Gym with a box full of colorful crafts in his hands.
"I just about have it all set up."
One look at Jenna's dishevelved state he knew she didn't get any sleep the night before. He had stayed the night with her just sitting on the loveseat in her bedroom to make sure she was alright.
"Have you talked to Elena yet?"
"No." Jenna replied curtly.
He took a seat next to her on the bleachers and put his head in his hands. Giving his students advice was easy but having to give it to someone he cared about was even harder.
"You want my advice?" Alaric asked?
As she looked up at him sighing she relented and said, "Please?"
"You can look at this two ways. One you can consider this a blessing in disguise, Elena is giving you your first grandchild, and you'll get to help her along the way to being the best mother she can be or you can just pretend Elena never told you and go on forgetting everything."
"What Rick was saying did make sense to her?" Now it was just up to her what she'd want to do with all the information she was given. She didn't want to lose her neice or be cut out from forming a relationship with the baby Elena was having in the coming months.
Sitting back at the bar Damon downed another shot of whiskey. Music was playing in the background Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley to be exact. The tone of the music was a great buzz kill. Yes Damon was happy he was going to be and uncle, but he still felt jealous that Stefan always got the girl.
"Don't you think you had about enough." Matt Donvan said sighing, as he watched this patron down another shot.
"Just shut up and pour me another."
"Ok dude." Matt said retrieving a bottle from behind the bar and filling the tiny glasses for his customer.
"My night's not going to end well." Damon said drowning the last of his drink and staggering out the exit door hoping to find something to feast on the rest of the evening.
"I'm off to lunch with Jenna now." Elena called to Stefan as he sat watching Tv in the Boarding house.
"Here let me zip you up." Stefan called as she entered the room.
She was wearing a simple mini black sweater dress, with black flats and her hair was neatly down, just the way Stefan liked it.
"Thank you."
"Are you staying the night?" Stefan asked?
"I don't know I didn't bring my jammies." Elena said teasingly.
"Maybe you won't need them." Stefan said, arching an eyebrow at Elena as he wrapped his arm around her and began nibbling behind her ear.
"As much fun as this is...I don't want to keep Jenna waiting."
"So you'll be a little late." Stefan cajoled.
"Walk me to my car please." Elena said taking Stefan's hand as they headed downstairs to her baby-blue sedan car out parked in the Salavatore's driveway.
"Before I forget I scheduled another appointment with Dr. Hine late this afternoon if your interested in coming with me."
"Of course I'd like to go, we're in this together." Stefan replied as he held Elena's car door open for her as she got into it.
"Just making sure...Kiss please." Elena said leaning over to recieve a quick kiss from him.
"Love you." Stefan replied.
"Love you to." Elena said waving good-bye to him as she drove down the lane.
Bonnie and Caroline were hanging out in Caroline's bedroom painting each other's fingers and toes listening to Bon Jovi music in the background.
"Can you believe Elena got herself knocked up?" Caroline blurted out as she began blowing on her fingernails.
"Now c'mon don't be like that." Bonnie reprimanded.
"I mean it's just so like Elena to get herself into this sort of mess."
"Still no word from Matt or Tyler I assume." Bonnie said sympthetically as she laid a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"So not the point Bonnie."Caroline replied defensively.
"Caroline, Elena needs us right now. Caroline was about to open her mouth before Bonnie cut her off..."No we've been friends with her a long time and right now she and Stefan need us to support them."
A dull silence filled the room before Caroline decided to speak up "You're absolutley right. I'm sorry."
"Appolgy accepted."
Leaning her head back against her pillows Caroline sighed, "I guess this just means Elena will be putting us both on babysitting duty once the child arrives."
Bonnie began laughing, "Lord help us all."
"Hi, Jenna sorry I'm late." Elena said, approaching the picnic table her aunt was sitting at."
"That's ok, I hope it doesn't bother you that I packed our lunches instead." Jenna said, retrieving a picnic basket from under the table and passing Elena a bolonga sandwich and a lemonade.
"No it's fine Jenna."
Soon an awkward silence fell between the two of them. They both just sat there and ate in relative silence. Elena sighed, taking her aunts hand in hers she began speaking.
"Jenna, I need to know how you feel about my baby."
Jenna sighed, "Honestly Elena I'm scared. Your still young and have your whole life ahead of you."
"I'm keeping my baby!" Elena protested.
"I understand that. Jenna said holding her hands up in mid air. I just want you to be careful and pray that Stefan will be there for you til the end."
"He will." Elena said, twirling the vervain necklace Stefan had given her on there second date.
"That's all I ask." Jenna said smiling.
Later that afternoon Stefan and Elena were sitting in the examanation room waiting for Dr. Hine to see them. Stefan was sitting beside Elena as she laid back on the table, legs in the stirrups.
"You nervous?" She asked Stefan as she watched him stare down at his hands.
"No I'm fine.
"It's alright if you are?" Elena said look down at Stefan quizcally.
"I'm ok?" Stefan leaning closer to Elena as she came in for chaste kiss.
They were soon interrupted when Dr. Hine entered the room. He was a short, stocky guy with a English accent. He specilized in young teen pregnancies since his own daughter went through the phase when she was only fifthteen.
"How is my favorite parents to be doing?"
"I feel fine doctor Hine." Elena replied. "This is my boyfriend Stefan, he's the father." Elena said introducing the two men to each other.
The two men stood up and shook hands.
I've made sure she doesn't do to much, and stays off her feet as much as possible. Stefan chimed in.
"That's good." Dr. Hine said, chuckling. Scanning Elena's chart thoroughly he stated, "All your tests look great now lets see if we can hear a heartbeat today."
Scooting his stool closer to Elena he put on his Stethoscope, and the probe out of his lab coat. "I'd like you to lift your gown please."
Lifting the paper hospital gown Dr. Hine turned on the sonogram machine and began guiding the probe across Elena's belly. Soon a faint sound of a heartbeat could be heard.
"Is that the baby?" Stefan said in awe as he watched the monitor carefully, smiling as there baby appeared on screen.
"Yes Mr. Salvatore, that in fact is you and Ms. Gilbert's baby." Dr. Hine said smiling.
"Wow!." Elena whispered.
"I'll give you two a moment." Dr. Hine said quietly as he got up from his stool and left the room. These were the small things he liked about his job, watching two people share the love of life they created together.
"What do you think?" Stefan said, squeezing Elena's hand gently.
"That's our baby Stefan." Elena said faintly that she herself could barely get the words out.
"Yep, that's our baby."
He was drunk, yes Damon Salvatore was drunk as he wandered the streets of Mystic Falls that night. One thought in the back of his mind was that he needed to sober up and fast. So he decided to head back to the mansion and sleep it off. Not getting to far though he spotted a shadowy figure off into the distance on horseback. Hearing the claps of thunder booming and heavy wind, he noticed the girl cling onto her mount to keep herself upright on her horse. It was no use, the wind had picked up and the clap of thunder spooked the horse as the young girl was thrown from her mount and her horse disapearing off into the distance.
Damon shook off his druken state. Using his vampire speed he rushed closer to the injured person lying unconscious on the ground.
"Ma'am are you ok?" He asked.
The girl didn't reply. Scooping her up in his arms he decided to head back to a secluded place so he can exam her more thoroughly. Heading over to a couple park benches he sat down with the girl in his arms. With the moonlight bright tonight Damon was mezmerized by the girl's beauty, she had long, curly red hair, long legs, and light olive green eyes. Making sure there was no lurkers around he stood up and headed back home. The girl just needed a safe place to sleep and tommorow morning he would find out more about her when she was awake.
