The boys were in fact at a club. Though not a strip joint, it was still a place were Harmony and Elena would kill Stefan and Damon if they were caught dead there without them. Many girls came up to the boys and rubbed up against them, which they objected to until they had a few drinks.
"You know, I...think I'm shocked at how today's society in young women dress." Damon said downing another drink. Stefan nodded.
"I believe that I think you're right. Especially her..." He said pointing at Caroline, who opened her mouth in shock. Stefan looked at the girl attempting to nuzzle her way under his arms and into his chest but he pushed her away gently.
"Damon Salvatore." Harmony's voice had the dangerous calm again. His eyes flashed to her and he looked away for a minute attempting to come up with an excuse.
"Stefan dragged me here." He said quickly, while his brother dealt with Elena. Harmony sighed and looked at everyone. "STOP! Have fun tonight but you better be there tomorrow." She said kissing him long and passionately.
"Do you Damon Salvatore, take this woman, Harmony Jane Valentine, to be your lawfully wedded wife, for as long as you both shall live?" The influenced Priest asked as the two joined hands, Harmony glowing and Damon's eyes lit up from when she walked down the aisle.
"I do." He said simply, as the moon was high above in the sky overhead of them.
"Do you Harmony Jane Valentine, take this man, Damon Salvatore, to be your lawfully wedded husband for as long as you both shall live?" He asked her.
Harmony nodded. "I do." She choked out, tears in her eyes.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. Kiss your bride." He said standing back as Damon lifted the veil from her face and kissed her gently and passionately. Elena smiled at Stefan across from the aisle and gushed as Stefan smiled in return. "Mr and Mrs Salvatore." The Priest continued.
"Uh, No Mr for me." Damon said smugly, holding Harmony in his arms. She rolled her eyes playfully and kissed him again.
Damon twirled Harmony around on the dance floor as the two danced, laughing while Stefan and Elena sat at a table.
"Can you believe their leaving for a month tomorrow?" Elena asked Stefan in awe. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, Stefan couldn't help but notice. He shook his head.
"Honestly, I'm kind of glad he's leaving and a little..." He didn't finish his sentence, but Elena knew the end of it.
"Damon, I know you're wrapped up in passion," Harmony breathed as they had their wedding night. "But can you not rip my dress into two?" His kisses were trailed on her collarbone and he mumbled something unintelligible as he proceeded down her body and pulled her dress down gently, not ripping it, but ripping what she had on underneath it, to shreds.
Elena walked quietly down the stairs of the boarding house while Stefan slept quietly. She looked both ways as she walked quietly into the kitchen to make some coffee. She straightened the robe and started making the coffee. The rain started hitting down on the windows and thunder was heard in the distance. Lightning crackled nearby but Elena continued.
"So I take it, you didn't get much sleep last night?" Harmony's soprano voice rang behind her. Elena jumped and then laughed as she continued to make the coffee.
"Did you?" She laughed. Harmony giggled quietly and nodded.
"Touche'." She smiled. Her eyes were sparkling more than usual, and her face glowed with some kind of force that Elena could only dote on. Her hair was pulled back and she was still in her pajamas. Elena continued to work and turned away from it to face Harmony.
"Aren't you up a bit early? I mean, your plane doesn't even leave until four." She pried as she sat at the table. Harmony shrugged.
"I didn't feel well at all this morning...I was just sick as I could ever be...I didn't even want to leave for the plane today." She said honestly. Elena then looked closer and almost squealed when she put the pieces together. "What?!" Harmony asked her nervously. Elena brought her closer to her and whispered in her ear.
"Are you...you know? Pregnant?" She asked her in a whisper in joy. Harmony pulled away paler, and shook her head.
"I can't be Elena. My body cannot sustain life." She said sure of it. Though her eyes sparkled a bit at it. Elena didn't believe it but pried no further as she heard heavier foot falls on the stairs.
"You two are up early." Damon said as he sat down across from Elena and next to Harmony. Stefan walked down behind him and stopped directly behind Harmony and Damon let out a feral snarl.
"What the hell did I do?" Stefan questioned as Damon stood up, fangs bared, gently but roughly pushing Harmony behind him, as if Stefan was a threat. Harmony glanced at the two, as Damon sunk into a protective crouch and snarled at Stefan to get away from her. Stefan took several steps away from Damon and came near Elena. Damon calmed down and sat down next to a perplexed Harmony, a confused Elena, and a somewhat frightened Stefan.
"That was weird." Elena and Harmony said in unity. Damon continued to glare at Stefan who glared back with just as much menace.
"Boys!" Harmony said standing up. "Calm down Damon. Stefan stop antagonizing your brother!" She scolded maternally. Stefan noted this in his mind and looked away.
"You sounded like a mom there Harm..." He noted in a whisper as he didn't want Damon to come across the table and rip his heart out of his body. Harmony nodded as the thunder and lightning picked up heavily. Elena turned on the weather news and sadly reported that their plane had been canceled until tomorrow. Harmony went upstairs to get dressed and Damon put his head in his hands.
"What is wrong Damon? You just got married and you, you were supposed to leave today but what is wrong with you? You almost ripped Stefan's face off!" Elena asked him seriously as she poured a cup of coffee.
"I'm not sure. I just feel like any male is a threat to her and me." Damon said as he sighed. Stefan took a big risk.
"You acted really protective of her. It was kind of scary Damon." Stefan said, "I wonder..." He said until he heard a scream from upstairs. Damon as the first one up the stairs, Stefan and then Elena. Stefan saw Harmony on the bed, clutching her sides and blood staining the sheets, she was crying and screaming, mixed with writhing in agony.
"Harmony!" Damon yelled, his eyes turning black and his skin changing as he looked at the blood. Stefan pushed him out of the room, yelling at Elena to grab a list of stuff.
"Go out and hunt now Damon!" He pushed his older brother out of the room. He turned back to the moaning woman on the bed and grabbed a towel, sliding it underneath her. He pushed down her skirt to find out where she was bleeding from and paled.
"Elena! I need a pair of scissors, gloves, and more blankets!" He called down the stairs. She shouted up something that sounded like a yes and Stefan began to work.
It took Elena a few minutes to locate everything she needed but when she got upstairs, she was shocked at what she heard, a baby's cry was ringing in the room.
Harmony regained consciousness about 15 minutes later after Elena had walked up the stairs and Stefan had cold water on her face. Her face had lost all sense of color and she sat up weakly as she listened to the sounds around the house.
"Wha-what happened Stefan?" She asked her brother-in-law weakly, her voice horse from screaming. Stefan had his back turned to her over looking a small bundle in his arms.
"Harmony...sweetie..." Elena began quietly, as she sat next to her on the bed. "Harm...I think you just had a baby." She said quietly. Harmony's face lit up and she smiled despite the pain.
"What? You're kidding me right?!" She squealed happily. Stefan shook his head and handed her the small pink blanket. The baby was a girl, and she had a tuft of black hair. Harmony laughed exhausted as the healthy baby girl slept. She smiled up at Stefan and Elena and sighed happily.
"Where's Damon?" She asked breathlessly. A dark shadow clouded the doorway.
"Right here." The velvet voice rang next to her as he looked down on the baby in her arms. His face softened and he looked at the baby girl in her arms, he nearly fell to the ground.
"She...She looks like you." He mumbled almost mutely. Harmony's bright smile faded when she noticed his expression was that of disappointment.
(What should the new Baby's name be?)
