Author's Note: Hey guys, thought I would update. Who's excited for the season 3 premier tonight? I am rewatching season 2 right now actually =)
Anyways hope you like this chappie. Chloe's older brother shows up in this.
I rested my hand on my stomach, I watched as the scenery passed by before me as Damon drove us back home. First, we had to take Joey back home. I kept thinking, why were me and Damon so lucky? Why out of all the human and vampire couples out there me and him got this chance of having our own family? I didn't get it, I mean, I was happy, but something was gonna come out of this that we didn't like. I just had that feeling in my guts.
"Alright, Joey, your home." Damon said, he pulled into the driveway and parked the car. Joey who sat in his car seat in the back was fidgeting, trying to get out, he couldn't wait to tell the news to our parents about this. I wanted to tell them another time but, with Joey knowing that wasn't possible. He could keep secrets but, this was something he couldn't keep locked up for very long.
We got out of the car and Damon helped Joey out of the car seat, picked him up and put him down on the ground and then Joey ran up to mom and dad who were now on the porch. I walked around the car and up to Damon, he wrapped his arm around me.
"Mom, Dad, I'm gonna be an Uncle!" Joey yelled in joy, when our Dad picked him up. He looked at me and Damon in shock.
"Is this true?" He asked when we got up to the porch, I nodded with a smile, "Well, congrats." I guess he just didn't know what else to say. I looked over to mom and she had the tears building up, she quickly hugged me, almost felt like she was choking me instead.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it, I'm gonna be a grandmother!" She cried, I think in joy, it was hard to tell, she let go of me, "Oh my god...I'm gonna be a grandmother." This time she said it in shock more than excitment.
I laughed, "Mom, you know what's the best news?"
"What?"
"We're having twins." Damon got it out before I could, my moms mouth dropped, she was just in shock but, happy for us at the same time.
"You're older brother is gonna love to hear this."
"Eric's over in California, I'll call him tonight."
"You're not calling me." I looked past my mom and dad to see my older brother was out of the house, a smile lit up in my face and I ran past my parents and up to him and gave him a big hug, he spun me around.
"Eric, you came!"
He laughed, "I couldn't miss my own sisters wedding, now could I?"
He put me down, "I have to let you meet someone." I grabbed his hand and then walked him over to Damon, "Damon, this is my older brother Eric. Eric, this is my fiancée, Damon."
Eric put out his hand, "Pleasure to meet you, Damon."
Damon hesitated to shake his hand but, he did it, "Same." I could tell Damon was probably thinking, he was probably wondering how he was gonna win my brothers trust.
"You're early, is Becky back in California?" I asked him, his girlfriend Becky, who was his high school sweetheart and they've been dating for a long time, was one of my best friends.
"No, she has so much work to do, she just couldn't find time off." I sighed, I was really wanting to see Becky, she would just love to know that I was now pregnant. "She promised though to come maybe a week or two before the wedding."
"Well, I think you should go back to Cali then, I'm not having a wedding while pregnant."
"Wait, what?" Damon sounded shocked, "Why not?"
"Not when I'm pregnant, I want the baby...well, babies to be their at the wedding. It will make everything better."
"Do you want me to call Becky and see if she can get off of work so she can help?" My brother offered but, I didn't want Becky calling off work for a long time to help with the pregnancy. I had Elena, Rayne, Bonnie, Caroline, my Mom, and a lot of others to help. Sure, I would love to see Becky but, maybe she could come for the birth.
I shook my head, "No, I got a lot of other people helping. You can though tell her that she can come for the birth."
My brother smiled, "Alright."
Suddenly, I got that sick feeling again, "Out of the way!" I yelled and darted inside the house and up to the bathroom to throw up. This was terrible, I thought the medicine would work? The doctors had said it would. Maybe it just hadn't fully hit me. Damon, who wasn't able to run at his vampire speed because of my brother being here, showed up soon enough and sat down beside me.
"Chloe, are you okay?" My brother suddenly walked in, he knelled down on my other side.
I nodded, "Eric, I'm fine, this is what pregnant women do."
"Can, me and Chloe talk privately?" Damon asked, I looked at him with an eyebrow raised. My brother got up and then him and mom left, without a word. Damon got up to go over and close the door.
"Damon, what's wrong?"
Damon put his head down and then turned around to look at me with a serious face, "Chlo, I don't think you should go through this pregnancy."
"Why not?"
"Maybe because you are really sick."
"I'll be fine, it's not like I'm going to die...okay well, some women do but, I will seriously be fine. Don't you want us to have a family?"
Damon walked back over and knelled down, "You don't know how much and how badly I want that, but I don't want you to die over it. Who knows what a half human half vampire spawn could do."
"I'm sure they aren't that bad."
"Don't think about what happened in Twilight, this is reality."
I sighed, he was right, I couldn't rely on the fantasy by Stephenie Meyers, I had to think about what could actually happen in real life.
"Just give them a chance."
"But, what if giving them a chance means you die?"
"At least you got two beautiful children to remember me by."
"It won't be the same without you by my side. I can't live without you."
"I'm not giving up, this is my chance to become a mother, like I've always dreamed. Please, Damon, give them a chance."
"I'm calling Rayne, she needs to know about the situation, we need to know more about what could happen. We can't just sit and wait."
I nodded, "Alright and if Rayne tells me that I must abort the babies for my own health and theirs then I'll do it." I really didn't want to give up on these babies. I wanted to be a mother so badly.
