Author's Note: So here's chapter 7...full of never ending fun! JK...but that's not the point! haha! Not very dark...pretty safe chapter! I hope you enjoy and please R&R!
When the baby's head finally began to emerge from her body, Elena's fears rose. Did he know what he was doing? She just watched as Damon's hands were delicately placed between Hannah's legs, holding onto the baby's head. From what she could see, it had blonde hair that seemed to contrast her own.
"Come on Hannah, push out your baby. That's it!" Damon would shout every few minutes as Elena held the woman's hand softly as she screamed.
"I can't do this. It hurts too much," She screamed in response at Damon's encouragement, her body seeming to tremble as the contractions continued to come.
"You can do this. You are a strong, brave woman. Push for me Hannah," He encouraged, as Elena continued to cringe at the sight.
The thought of Damon's hands between her legs made her stomach turn. The thought of him looking at it all like it was perfectly normal. The thought of a monster between her own legs caused her grip on Hannah's hand to tighten with rage.
The baby shoulders pushed through the opening as Damon yelled for Elena to grab a towel. It must have been just seconds later that with one last push , the baby was born, Damon pulling the baby to his chest. He stuck his pinky into it's mouth, removing whatever was blocking it's throat, leading to the baby's cries moments later.
Elena's eyes watched in amazement as Damon handed the baby to her. The baby rested in her arms, her face still frozen with shock. For the first time ever, Elena held a baby, one that seemed to tug at her heartstrings. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She wrapped the baby in the towel, wiping the goop off as it continued to cry.
Damon cut the umbilical cord, allowing Elena to pull the baby away.
"Take the baby out of here. Hannah does not want to get attached to it," Damon hissed as Elena snapped back into reality.
She obeyed his order instantaneously as she heard Hannah's whimpers as the placenta was delivered, Damon hushing her soothingly. The baby rolled around her arms as she rocked the baby quietly in her own room.
"You would make a lovely mother, Elena" He smirked in the doorway of her room, his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Thank you," She retorted in a dull tone. The thought of herself never having children or a husband made her eyes droop in sadness. Instead she would be held captive, cleaning and cooking for the rest of her life.
"I called Klaus. He will be here in an hour to pick up the baby with his wife," He muttered as he walked over to where she was sitting on her bed.
He sat down next to her, watching the baby as it tried to hold it's eyes open. Elena smiled as she imagined a life for the baby.
"What's the gender?" He asked in a kind manner, his arm grazing her own.
"It's a little girl with blonde locks. She is a gem," Elena answered, the baby detracting her attention from the monster beside her.
"Caroline will be so excited when she hears. She said she bought everything in either pink or blue for the baby, and will donate all the blue stuff if it turns out to be a girl" He commented as he placed his arm around her body.
"If you ever want a baby, Elena, just tell me. We will make arrangements. Whatever you want in life, it is yours!" He whispered quietly as the baby's eyes fell shut into a deep sleep.
"Just let me go, Damon. I can never have a life here in this house. I will never have a home or friends or romance," She whispered back, as a tear ran down her cheek.
She felt his hand wipe it away as he opened his mouth to answer.
"Everything you need is here. It's up to you to decide what to do with it. You have friends, you have a beautiful house with a pool, endless amounts of money, you have your own room, and you have me." He calmly said as he rubbed her shoulder.
"I will never love you, Damon. I could never love a monster. The other humans are my only friends, but that's not enough in life. You can't buy love or in your case...steal it," She cried as she continued to rock the baby.
"Well I guess you will learn to deal with that. I have given you everything, you are the one who is pulling away. Get that baby cleaned up and dressed before they arrive," He growled as he got up from the bed and left.
Elena quietly sobbed on her bed as the baby cooed, it's little hand holding her finger. She dressed the baby in a little dress made of lace before putting the matching socks on her small feet. She carried the baby down to the foyer where she heard Damon let them in.
"Caroline, it's a little girl, just like you hoped with blonde locks and a button nose," Damon announced excitedly as Elena stepped forward with the little girl still asleep in her arms. She hesitantly transferred the baby from her chest to the blonde woman, whose smile never faded.
"She is just stunning. Oh look at her Klaus. She is perfect!," Caroline confirmed as Klaus smiled with her. The same man that smirked when he saw Elena topless in the den. The thought of him as a Father made Elena cringe, but she knew Caroline genuinely loved the baby, maybe Klaus did too.
Later that day, Elena checked in on Hannah, cleaning up the room until it looked spotless. Hannah just smiled, her eyes tired and weary as she watched her television.
"Elena! I was so happy you attended the birth. It made everything so much easier," She exclaimed as she finished cleaning the room, which was now clean and tidy.
"I wouldn't have left you in there with him. I don't trust him," Elena spat out loud, her anger directed at Damon.
"I can tell he really likes you. I know when I see that look on a man. Just the way he looks at you," She announced loudly.
"Hannah, did he put you on drugs or are you just insane? I loathe that man and he loathes me with a passion. He is not capable of love. He treats me like trash anyway," She retorted as she adjusted Hannah's pillows behind her.
"He's not a monster, Elena. He is misunderstood. When it comes down to it, he would save you before any of us. He loves you, I know it," She smiled as she grabbed the remote for the television.
"He would save me so he could still have someone to cook his dinner or take off his pants for him, not because he loves me," She responded as she walked to the door with her arms filled with laundry.
"Give him a chance. He still has a heart even though he's the same age as my great great great great grandfather!" She laughed as Elena smiled slightly at her comment.
At dinnertime, she felt him walk behind her as she cooked on the stove.
"It smells delicious," He breathed as she felt his hand lightly touch her shoulder. She pulled her body away in response.
"Don't" She barked as she stirred the food in the pan.
"I have a surprise for you," He whispered in her ear, grabbing at her wrist lightly.
She immediately paused at his comment, causing her to stop stirring. She turned off the stove, as he pulled her toward the front door of the house. She was almost afraid of what he had planned. What was he up to?
As she walked into the foyer, there stood a handsome man about Damon's height with dirty blonde hair that was gelled neatly in the front. His green eyes were beautiful and captivating and his smile full of life. She continued to stare as they approached the man slowly.
"Elena, this is Gideon. He will be your new patient. Luckily I was able to find a fine looking man who happened to have AB negative blood...well actually I had to hack into some computers to find him, but that's not the point!," He announced, smirking as he always did. He released her wrist as Gideon continued to smile.
"Hello Gideon," Elena said, smiling in return. Finally, a human she could relate to. He could not have been much older than her- young, handsome, and sweet. Why would Damon do something like this? Why would the new patient be a young male when she knew he despised them?
"Hello! You must be Elena! I look forward to getting to know you. Damon has told me so much about you already!" He responded as Damon pointed up stairs.
"Elena, give him a tour. His room is on the other side of you," Damon stammered as Elena looked at him confused.
"Emily is on my other side. Where is she going?" Elena asked with curiosity.
"She had a change of heart and decided to leave. I needed a replacement and here he is. Well, don't keep him waiting. Be a good girl and when you get a chance, change your underwear. I know he's attractive, but geez, you don't have to announce it," He shouted with a huge grin as Elena's face turned red with embarrassment. She didn't even notice that her body responded to the man before her, but she knew Damon could smell it like the dog he was.
"This is not fair, Damon," Elena said, crossing her arms around her chest and jolting her lips in a delicious pout, "How come Emily gets to have a change of heart? How does she get to decide to leave? Not me..."
he leaned in and lifted her hand up, grabbing her chin tenderly in between his thumb and forefinger. Every instinct of his body is telling him to lean a little closer and nibble on her plump lips. Shaking off that thought, he says softly, "Because, you my Princess, are the ruler of my heart...and she...she's just a human for me to drain and sell to earn some shitty money... Do you understand, I'll never be able to stay a minute of my eternity without you?" she looked at him with those all consuming brown orbs of hers, now filled with amusement...
"You ass," She hissed at him as she led Gideon through the house, pointing and explaining as he intently listened to her. She had never seen anyone listen to her with such genuine selflessness... she knew she liked him already!
Author's Note: So there's a new man in this town! Why would Damon pick a young, handsome male for his next patient? We all know he doesn't like sharing Elena. Gideon seems like a very sweet man, but deep down, Elena likes the bad boys, am I right? She said she would never love Damon, but he seems to genuinely care about her...so sad! haha!
