Stefan sighed cracking his knuckles, as he pushed his thoughts of Elena away and he got back to work. He saw his last patient for Friday afternoon and he had an hour or so till he had to see his last patient for the day so he went down to the maternity ward.

He checked in with Bonnie and Damon, Caroline was with them. She was getting a check up, Bonnie was three months pregnant.

He knew for a fact she and Elena are not friends anymore because she never wanted to even talk about Elena when Stefan brought her up. So he always let it be, though he wondered what happened between them. He had Caroline, but she never seemed the one to tell someone else's secrets.

Stefan's pager beeped so he had to leave, they all mumbled their goodbyes as

Caroline held Bonnie's hand as they watched the baby on the screen, she was in awe, she never got to see Stephanie in Elena's belly.

She didn't even see Elena until she moved to Atlanta to go to Emory, which is where Elena had ran off to three years before.

Caroline wanted Elena to be here so bad, she pursed her lips, "Elena would love to be here," she shyly whispered.

She bit her lip as Bonnie's eyes started to tear up.

Bonnie sighed, "Not now Care," Damon gave Caroline a warning look and squeezed her shoulder and kissed Bonnie on the top of her head. Caroline resisted the urge to roll her eyes. He was so protective of her.

Caroline gridded her teeth, why couldn't she just forgive Elena and move on?

When Elena ran off on the wedding day, Bonnie was so mad at her, mostly disappointed but then Elena was too afraid of Bonnie's reaction so she never called her to explain or to even say goodbye. So then Bonnie's disappointment turned into to anger and blah blah blah, now the best friends are no more. She sighed. She was the only mature one.

She smirked at herself. She hated just standing by and hiding everything.

Elena walked down the stairs early Saturday morning feeling refreshed after taking a morning bath.

Stephanie ran up to her, "Mommy!" she hugged her belly and kissed it before running back to watch TV eating her second banana.

Elena watched her crack her knuckles.

She shook her head, how could she be so much like him? Her heart ached, she missed him. She should have been nicer to him when she saw him at the café. She bit her lip as she munched on her oatmeal.

She needed to do something and she dreaded what she had to do.

Stefan was sleeping with his face stuffed in the pillow. He can never remember a time where he doesn't sleep on his stomach. He heard beeping and ignored it for a good 10 minutes until her realized it was his pager. Damn. He groaned to check who is was. Crap, he hand to go in. He sighed as he got up, it was his day off, and those were very rare, since he usually drowns himself in work. He got dressed in scrubs and grabbed a banana.

He walked out the door, and jumped into his Audi, a gift from Damon for his Medical Degree. He checked his pager again, he had to be at the sixth floor in ten minutes.

He got to the hospital and reached the sixth floor, where he was greeted by a nurse. She explained to him the basics of the situation for the patient. A transfer teen druggie.

His heart clenched, he hated seeing these patients. He always felt like he was helpless and couldn't help them properly. It would guilt him for days after seeing one, they were so young.

Though they would always get sent to him, instead of the other doctors. He was told the teens prefer his personality. He never judged and lectured them unlike the others.

He walked through the Rehab ward, wincing as he saw all the broken people. He reached the room where he was meeting the patient and his former doctor.

Stefan strolled in taking a good look at the young teenage he glanced at the doctor leaning against the bed. Stefan gave him a nod, and he nodded in response. It was a doctor thing, this time a bit awkward since he was replacing him.

"Hey Matthew," Stefan pat the patients shoulder, the boy smirked.

"I'm going to start helping you now," he looked into his eyes.

"Now it's up to you if you want to explain what is going on," Stefan glanced at the other doctor, "or if you want Dr.?" Stefan raised his eyebrows grinning at the former doctor.

The doctor shifted and cleared his throat, "Wesley. Paul Wesley."

Stefan froze. Could he be the same man Elena married? The father of her children?

Stefan licked his lips, "I'm Stefan Salvatore." he practically mumbled but he hid his shock and turned to smile down at the boy.

The boy wanted to explain himself and Stefan sat in front of him listening as closely as he could. Avoiding the man next to him.

He looked a bit mad. Usually when the patient wants to explain their illness, it's the number one sign that their former doctor isn't very good, and they don't like them very much. Though doctors usually brush it off, this guy was almost pissed.

Stefan sat up and said goodbye to the boy, who smiled when Stefan said he would check up on him in a day or so. Stefan felt hope, he might be able to do something for him.

When the boy walked out Stefan looked up at Paul, "It was nice meeting you Paul," Stefan smiled his most genuine smile. He was hurting on the insides as he looked into his gray eyes. He squinted as he realized he looked nothing like Stephanie.

His thought broke off when Paul decided to speak, he scrunched up his forehead, "I know your not allowed to talk about other patients, but do you know Elena Wesley?"

Stefan's eyes widen, but was he suppose to say yes? Or act confused? He then quickly recovered, and raised his eyebrows in question.

Paul watched as Stefan recognized the name, he was the same one Elena loved, he cleared his throat. "Because I just wanted to see if she came to her appointment this morning with Dr. Rahimi." He said curiously. Though he most likely didn't know the doctor. He wondered if they still spoke. Paul knew Elena didn't want Stefan to know of her situation. Elena said she hasn't seen him since the wedding day but she may have lied. He did see a slip of paper with his information and stuff. But it might be from a long time ago, he remembered how crinkled it was.

Stefan quickly recognized the doctors name. Dr. Yasi Rahimi.

She is one of the best drug abuse doctors in all of the U.S. He wrinkled his forehead. Why was Elena seeing a rehab doctor?

Paul saw Stefan's confused expression and worried he might know of the doctor, "I'm sorry, I don't want to get you in trouble. I just wanted to make sure my wife is alright." Paul gave him a tight grin, "Nice meeting you as well, Dr. Salvatore." He got his briefcase and strolled out quickly.

Stefan stared after him. Why is Elena in rehab?

Oh shoot, Paul and Stefan are both doctors. Wow. nice catch Elena ;) haha I know this one was short but there are certain things i want to happen in the same chapter and its complicated haha but chapter 7 will be updated in an hour or less :))
