Chapter 4

Didn't see that one coming

"Damon. Damon I brought you some soup." I have to admit I was afraid to go into Damon's room. He mauled Rebekah when she tried. The lights were off and it was freezing in there.

I turned the lights on and saw him. Shivers went down my spine. He was pale and bony, eyes red, he just looked horrible. I cautiously set the soup down in front of him.

"Damon, you have to eat. Please."

"Elena, I have no reason to live."

" Am I enough of a reason?"

"No." If you heard a crack it was my heart.

"look, Damon. I love you but I love Stefan more. What am I supposed to do about that?"

"I don't know, Elena! It's always been Stefan right? I never had a chance, did I?"

"Bonnie said the spell will ware off in three days. But she also said that one way or another you will learn your lesson. She said you will be more responsible and Nicer. Like that's going to happen."

"Hmm. I can be nice if I wanted to."

"Responsible."

"No, probably not." I smiled.

I leaned in and kissed him. He didn't kiss me back. I felt offended so I pulled away.

"I love you. But you really should go, Elena." I frowned. Not what I wanted to hear. Then Bonnie busted through the door.

"Okay, you know what? I can't take this anymore. You two are like soul mates or something. If I have to hear Elena say one more thing about being in love with both of you I'm going to go crazy. Cito est praegnans cum daemonis infans."

What? "I'm sorry, what?"

"Well, Elena I just put a spell on you. You are now pregnant with Damon's baby girl. Enjoy." My mouth hung wide open. She popped back in.

"Oh, and Damon is now a vampire again."

I noticed. He was currently speeding around the room in a joy. Then he stopped in front of me.

"Guess what today is?"

"The day I got pregnant with your child."

"Doesn't matter right now." WHAT?

"Um, Damon-"

"I'm a vampire again. I feel so strong, so fast, so-"

Caroline skipped in. "Did I hear someone say the word pregnant?"

"Elena's pregnant."

"Bonnie!"

"You are!" That's when I started sobbing.

"Oh. My. God. I'm already planning the baby shower!"

"Caroline! No! No baby showers!"

"Elena!"

"Caroline!"

"Bonnie!"

"Jeremy?"

"Bonnie!"

"Elena!"

"Damon!"

"Elena!"

"Stefan!"

W all stopped and looked toward Stefan. "What, I thought we were playing a game?"

I giggled. Stefan started to look me up and down and my face went red with embarrassment. "Why are you so round?"

Damon rolled his eyes. "Brother, you don't to sugar coat it. He meant to say since when are you one of those fat chicks who talks about their feelings."

I hit him on the back of the head and looked towards Stefan. Rip it off, Elena, like a band aid.

"I'm pregnant. It's Damon's child." Damon already had his defenses up.

"I guess that means you're choosing him."

"Stefan...yes. I choose Damon." Tears literally welled up in his eyes.

"How wonderful. The next doppelganger. A vampire baby." Klaus. God, I knew this would happen.

Damon took a protective stance in front of me as did Bonnie, Caroline, and Jeremy. Stefan thought talking would work.

"Klaus-"

"Shut up! This isn't about you, It's about your brother and your girlfriend!" He reached into Stefan's heart and ripped just that out.

"STEFAN!", I screamed at the top of my lungs. My knees went weak and I dropped to the floor, sobbing even harder.

Klaus smiled at me. "I won't hurt you or your family. On one condition."

We all looked at him expectantly. He smiled and slowly walked towards the door.

"Give me your baby the day it's born. My little doppelganger." I gasped. No, no, no. Not my baby. Not Damon's baby.

With that he left. Just then Matt and Rebekah came through the door. Rebekah ran to hug me but Matt looked confused.

"What did I miss?"
