Hello my lovely readers so I'm finally granting you with chapter 7! First off, I hope you all had a very happy Halloween! So I want to kind of give you an explanation as to where I'm going with the story. Originally it was simply an assortment of one-shots, but with the new baby storyline that's kind of changing a little and I want to explain the method to my madness. So the whole point of this sequel is to just highlight important events in their lives instead of starting a whole new story with a plot and everything, which is still what I intend to do, but with Elena being pregnant I feel like there's a lot of things I want to include that are happening within a shorter span of time in their lives. So basically all the pregnancy chapters are like one super long one-shot split up into different chapters if that makes any sense. I just want to include all the beautiful parts of bringing a life into this world and there's no way it can fit into one or two chapters. Anyways, the story will jump further ahead in time once the baby is born and stuff and I promise we'll get to them when they're older, and possibly married and all that good stuff. Anyways, if there's something that you want me to write about during Elena's pregnancy please let me know (i.e. A sentimental moment or something that goes a long with pregnancy.) I've never had a kid so I'm sure there's important moments that I don't know about so please give me your wisdom in the reviews! And thanks again for all you who have stuck with me through this and reviewed so far, I love you all!
Chapter 7
DPOV
After that horrible family dinner Elena and I are petrified about what would happen if we were to break the rules so we have followed them, and it will be the death of me I'm sure of it. I miss sex. I just miss it. I think this is the longest drought I've ever had, especially with Elena. Normally she and I would be fucking on every surface we could find multiple times a week, but ever since she got pregnant her parents have kept her on lockdown. I spend most of my time here because I can't tear myself away from her while she's carrying my child, and it has been 3 weeks since we've done anything even remotely sexual, which is making us both miserable. I've had to settle for pleasing myself in the shower thinking about having her long tanned legs wrapped around me. Now she's sleeping soundly next to me in her bed, and I can't seem to tear my eyes away from her. She still looks exactly the same, no one would know she was pregnant unless she told them, she claims to have gained weight but I don't see it, just her breasts have gotten fuller, which I am certainly not complaining about, it's just too bad I can't enjoy them. I don't understand why her parents are so worried; I mean she's already pregnant so it isn't like anything worse could happen. Either way we literally haven't been in the house alone once since she came back home. It's all so unreasonable, we're going to be living together in a few months, yet now we can't even be alone together, which is a sick fucking joke. Besides, isn't sex encouraged during pregnancy?
"Damon..," Elena said pulling me from my thoughts around midnight.
"Yeah baby," I asked turning on my side to face her.
"Can you get me the salt and vinegar chips," she asked sheepishly. Lately she's been craving anything salty, so I went to the store the other day and bought everything I thought she might possibly want so we could have it on hand for late nights like this when everything's closed. I also bought every type of chocolate I could find because I know she's going to want that too. The person ringing me up at the market looked at me like I was insane for buying hundreds of dollars worth of salty snacks and candy, but I couldn't care less as long as Elena's happy.
"Sure," I said kissing her quickly before going down to the kitchen and grabbing the whole bag to bring up to her.
"So you're feeling better," I asked her getting back into bed.
"Yeah I don't feel nauseous right now," she said stuffing a handful of chips in her mouth.
"You look beautiful," I said grinning at her.
"While I'm stuffing my fat face," she said rolling her eyes.
"Elena you are so far from fat," I said chuckling.
"I've gained weight and gone up an entire cup size," she said pouting.
"Oh I know," I said wiggling my eyebrows.
"You're such a perve," she said giggling.
"No I'm just desperate, I miss you," I said moving closer to her pulling her against me.
"I miss you too," she said leaning her head against my chest.
"I was thinking we could go to New York next week," I said looking down at her. "We could see my grandmother and stop by our apartment, I feel like this is something we should tell her in person."
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea," she said with a small smile. "Yes! We'll finally get out of this house, I'm losing my mind."
"I know me too," I said chuckling.
"Thank you for agreeing to follow my parents stupid rules," she said pressing a quick kiss to my lips.
"Hey I'd do anything for you, you know that," I said tilting her chin up at me and caressing her bottom lip with my thumb. "You should sleep, you have an important doctor's appointment tomorrow."
"Okay," she said putting the bag of chips on the floor and cuddling her body with mine again. I'm just so grateful that things have improved over the past month. Elena seems to have accepted her fate, as have I, and her parents are no longer angry with her. Me on the other hand, that's a different story. They allow me to come over whenever I want and since that awful dinner there hasn't been any yelling or lecturing, but they hardly speak to me and I can feel their hatred radiating from them every time we're in the same room. They think I corrupted their daughter, which I suppose is partially true if you want to get technical, but it wasn't like I ever pushed her to do something she didn't want, and she was the one that told me she wanted to have sex that night I took her virginity. I do see their side of the argument, especially now that I'm going to be a dad. If I welcomed a boy into my house and trusted him around my daughter only to find out he'd taken her innocence and gotten her pregnant I'd blow a gasket. Then again, Elena and I love each other and we chose to have sex because we wanted to show our love for each other physically and that was our decision to make. There's right and wrong on both sides, I just wish her parents could forgive me and accept that this baby is my child too and they're stuck with me forever, and I know Elena doesn't like seeing the tension between them and me. The last thing she needs right now is stress.
"Damon you're thinking very loud right now," she said pulling me from my thoughts.
"Sorry, just go to sleep you need rest," I said kissing the top of her head.
"No, tell me what's bothering you," she asked worriedly. "Is this about the baby?"
"No I love that baby as much as I love you," I said taking her hand in mine and squeezing it. "I'm excited to start a family with you."
"Okay, well what's going on then," she asked turning around to look at me and running her fingers through my hair.
"I'm just thinking about your parents," I said shrugging and trying not to show any weakness. I don't want her to know how much the issues with them have gotten to me because it'll only upset her, and with the pregnancy hormones she gets upset over just about anything.
"I'm sorry they're being so difficult," she said resting her forehead against mine.
"It's okay I'll live," I said smirking at her.
"They will get over it eventually and things will be better," she said looking right into my eyes. I just hope she's right.
EPOV
"Elena you still have over half of that bottle left to finish," Damon said eyeing me closely. We're sitting in the waiting room with Katherine and my mom for my first doctor's appointment, and I was told to drink 3 bottles of water before I came in because I'd need a full bladder for the ultrasound, but I swear if I even have to look at water again I'll die.
"I've had 2 and a half that's basically all I need, and I have to pee so bad," I complained pouting my lips.
"Come on pouty, just down it quickly," he said giving me that look he knows weakens me every time he wants me to do something. I glared at him before dramatically unscrewing the lid and downing the rest of the water before throwing the empty bottle at him.
"Happy," I asked him crossing my arms defiantly.
"Ecstatic," he said smirking.
"It's easy for you to get me to do this when you aren't the one who has to pee so bad but can't, this is pure torture," I groaned slumping down in my chair.
"Welcome to womanhood sweetheart, it sucks," my mom said with an amused expression on her face.
"If I could do this for you I would," Damon said taking my hand and making me smile.
"I appreciate that, but seeing my incredibly hot boyfriend pregnant might ruin our sex life just a little bit," I whispered softly so no one else could hear me.
"Well we wouldn't want that to happen," he said smirking at me.
"Elena have you thought about when we're going to start telling people about this," my mom said interrupting my moment with Damon. She's been doing that a lot lately; her and my dad couldn't make their disapproval more obvious if they tried.
"I've already told the people who I trust, and everyone else will just figure it out when they figure it out," I said shrugging.
"Seriously mom don't stress her out," Kat said with a huffy breath. I don't know what I'd do without Katherine being around, she's been on mine and Damon's team from the start of this, and I think she is slowly thawing my parents.
"I'm not trying to stress her out, I just think this is something to consider," she said setting down the magazine she'd been reading.
"I suppose people will know when I start showing or when I don't go back to school, whichever comes first I guess," I said biting my lip nervously. I hate the idea of everyone knowing that I'm pregnant; I mean this is Mystic Falls. I've known every single person in this town since I was born, and the second they see that I'm pregnant at 17 the judgy eyes of disapproval will be upon me. My parents have set me up with a private home tutor to finish out my senior year, that way I won't have to go to school with a baby bump and I'll still be able to apply to colleges if it's what I decide. The only person I've told is Caroline, but I know that the second everyone else at school finds out I'll be at the head of the gossip mill.
"Well Damon knows you want to keep this on the down low right," she asked looking between us.
"Obviously," I scowled. "The only people he's told are Stefan and his uncle, and we trust them."
"No need to get bent out of shape I was just asking," she said raising her eyebrows at me. After a few more uncomfortable minutes the nurse took us back into one of the rooms so I could see the doctor.
"Hey, it's going to be fine," Damon said standing next to me and taking my hand in his. I swear sometimes it's like he can read my mind, and he always knows exactly what I need.
"Good morning Elena," Dr. Montgomery said with a warm smile when she walked into the room. She's said to be the best pre-natal specialist in the area, and of course Damon insisted that I only see the best so he's paying for it. She wasn't even on my insurance plan. She started by asking me millions of questions about how I've been feeling, my periods and family medical history; she did a pelvic exam, and blood tests. When it was time for the ultrasound I started getting anxious. I'm going to see the first real image of my child.
"So is this your first ultrasound," she asked pulling a machine towards me and sitting down in the chair next to the reclining table.
"Yeah," I said with a nervous smile. Damon stayed where he had been, keeping his left hand firmly intertwined with my right while he stroked my hair softly.
"Well it's pretty easy," she said encouragingly as she turned the machine on. "Now this is going to be cold for a minute, but you'll get used to it," she said squirting some kind of gel onto my stomach and using the wand to spread it around. She moved it around looking at the screen closely for a few minutes and I felt myself getting more nervous. What if there's something wrong?
"So how's she looking doc," Damon asked as I squeezed his hand tighter.
"Everything seems to be looking good," she said smiling. "Take a look for yourselves." She pointed at the picture and turned the volume up. "That's it right there inside your uterus, and that noise is its heartbeat. It's not much bigger than a kidney bean right now. Not all doctors do ultrasounds or Doppler every time, but I'll always do it because I think it's necessary to really know if the baby is healthy, and all of my patients like to see it."
"Oh my god," Katherine said walking closer to the screen. "That's so cool, I can't believe there's like an actual human inside of you."
I was speechless. I felt tears welling up inside of me that I couldn't seem to control as I looked at the first real image of my child, and heard their heart beating. I looked up at Damon and he was looking at it in awe, his eyes full of tears too.
"The picture is brilliant, it's so much more clear than when I had these two," my mom said as she studied the screen.
"That's our baby," Damon whispered in my ear kissing the top of my head, both of our eyes still filled with tears. For the first time since I found out I was pregnant I finally feel completely and utterly happy. I know I'm young and ideally this shouldn't be happening for another couple years, but in this moment looking at a child that Damon and I created I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride.
"I love you," I whispered in his ear as he kissed the top of my head.
"I love you too," he said happily.
"Oh you two are just too sappy for your own good," Katherine said smirking at us.
"Hey this is exciting," Dr. Montgomery said with a small laugh as she faced us. "So Elena do you have any questions for me," she asked smiling again. I've found that she always has a relatively content look on her face that's comforting, and I know that as this gets harder it'll be a relief.
"I don't think so," I said shaking my head as she gave me a towel to wipe the gel off my stomach.
"Okay, and dad what about you," she said looking towards Damon, and I saw the taken aback expression on his face at the word dad. It made my heart melt how happy it seemed to make him.
"Uh no I think we're good," he said before clearing his throat. Leave it to Damon to act all manly when we all know he's getting just as emotional as the rest of us.
"Okay well if you have questions just call my office, and if you have any issues let me know as soon as possible. I'm sure you'll be fine, but we don't want to take any risks."
"Okay, thank you Dr. Montgomery," I said shaking her hand and climbing off the table. She handed me a printout of the ultrasound and a DVD that we could keep with us too.
"So we should probably discuss our trip to the Hampton's with your parents," Damon said once we were home and alone in my bedroom.
"Yeah, I hope they don't give us a hard time. They've let me go dozens of times in the past," I said biting my lip nervously. Grandma Salvatore loves when we visit her, so we try to make trips there as often as possible. My parents never had a problem with it because we were staying in her house, and as far as they knew we were being supervised and didn't share a bedroom. Granted, Grandma Salvatore doesn't really have any rules for us, but my parents never needed to know that. In all honesty she practically encourages the intimate side of our relationship, last time we were there she had sparkling cider and chocolate covered strawberries sent to our room, but she's also never had a daughter or granddaughter and that gives her a different perspective. She even bought Katherine and Stefan a trip to Hawaii last Christmas, with their own private bungalow. She's definitely at the top of the list of cool grandmothers.
"Dinner should be ready in a bit," my mom said when we walked into the kitchen. My dad was sitting at the center island reading the newspaper.
"Well actually Damon and I wanted to talk to you," I said anxiously.
"Oh lord, what's happened now," my dad said setting his paper down and looking at us suspiciously.
"Nothing's happened," I said slightly annoyed. "We just wanted to check with you both to make sure you'd be cool with us visiting Grandma Salvatore next week. We want to tell her about the baby in person, and it'll be hard to make a long trip when I'm heavily pregnant so it would have to happen in the near future. Damon has next week off from his summer school classes and it's the perfect time for us to go."
"So you'd be staying in Grandma Salvatore's house right," my mom asked skeptically.
"It's the same thing we've always done," Damon said with a tight smile. I know it bothers him how little they trust us, or well mostly him.
"I suppose it's fine," she said sighing heavily. I felt relief take over my body; after all of these insane rules that they've made us follow I thought it would be a lot harder than this to get permission.
"So your grandparents will be there," my dad said looking at Damon with a stern expression on his face.
"Yes of course, the main reason we're going is to visit with them, and it'll be nice to get out of town for a bit. Their house is a lot of fun during the summer. They have a huge pool and beach access, I thought Elena could use a little vacation since it is summer after all," he said with a charming smile. That's one of the things I love about Damon, he can charm the pants off anyone, even someone who's insulting him.
"Are you going to fly or drive," my mom asked as she took the garlic bread out of the oven.
"I think we'll fly this time, 8 hours is just too long to be in a car and it's early enough in my pregnancy that I still can," I said nervously fiddling with my bracelet.
"Well hopefully you have a nice time," my mom said forcing a smile. "Anyways, dinners ready so do you mind setting the table?"
It was late when the car finally dropped us off in front of the Salvatore's estate Sunday night. Damon and I flew into JFK and Grandma Salvatore insisted on sending a car to pick us up at the airport, but she also just called to inform us that she's not going to be home tonight. Apparently a friend of hers in the city had some kind of emergency so her and Giuseppe Senior are going to be staying there until tomorrow, which has encouraged Damon to mutter every innuendo he possibly can think of since we left the airport in Richmond. I still can't get over the fact that in order for us to have some alone time we have to fly to New York and stay with his grandmother. It isn't like I'm complaining; it has been a long time since we've been together intimately. The maid helped us into the house setting our bags down in our usual room, and the second she left he had me pinned down on the mattress pressing kisses all over my neck and chest.
"Stop I probably smell all gross from the plane and the long car ride," I said giggling and pushing him away.
"Elena you could have spent the last 3 hours soaking in garbage and it wouldn't stop me," he said pointedly.
"I'm not saying we can't have fun, but maybe we should clean up first." I smirked at him pushing him away from my body before standing up from the bed and slowly pulling off my tank top to reveal my black lacy bra and gesturing him with my finger in a come hither motion. He had a goofy grin on his face as I stepped out of my shorts and turned around to walk into the bathroom and fill the tub. I felt his strong arms wrap around me from behind as I dropped the bubble bath in waiting for it to fill and I could already fill his erection pressed against my back.
"Someone's in a rush," I said turning around and wrapping my arms around his neck pressing a slow and sensual kiss to his lips.
"Mmm someone isn't moving fast enough," he said moving his fingers around my back to unclip my bra. I let it slide to the floor and he immediately moved to cup a breast in each hand making my nipples stand in attention. "You have no idea how badly I've wanted to do this these past couple weeks." He started kneading them between his hands pushing them together and licking in between my cleavage making me moan, with the increased sensitivity it feels like heaven and I'm close to coming from this alone.
"The water," I said breathlessly as he buried his head in my chest nipping at my skin.
"Oh oops," he said smirking and turning off the tap when the tub was about to over flow. He helped me step out of my underwear before lifting me up to wrap my legs around him and slowly settling us down into the warm water. I had a leg on each side of his hips effectively straddling him while my head rested against his chest and he ran water down my back. I swear this must be what heaven is like.
"Do you think you're grandma will be mad," I asked him a few minutes later pulling my head up to look him in the eye.
"Now is really not a good time to talk about my grandma," he said smirking and nudging the inside of my leg with his erection. I felt my breath get caught in my throat and the wetness pooling between my legs growing more achy, but I need to get this off my chest.
"I know, but I'm just nervous to tell her," I said frowning. "She likes me right now, and I really don't want that to change. What if she thinks I trapped you or that I'm stupid for accidentally forgetting to be safe?"
"Elena she isn't going to be mad," he said stroking the side of my face lovingly. "I think she'll be the easiest to break the news to, in all honestly she'll probably be excited."
"I just can't handle one more person looking at me with disappointment in their eyes." I felt a stray tear running down my face, but he brushed it away quickly with his thumb and tilted my chin up so he could look right at me. To this day I'm still not used to his perfect blue eyes, even after all this time I can't get over how stunning he really is.
"Elena don't let anyone else's opinion upset you, you're the most beautiful pregnant girl in the world and this baby is going to be a blessing for us, do you understand me?"
"Do you really think that, or are you trying to make me feel better?" He literally laughed out loud at my words.
"Elena Gilbert when have I ever lied to you," he said with that devilish smile of his as he cupped my face with his hands.
"Okay, touché," I said giggling and pressing my lips to his. I wrapped my fingers through his hair bringing his mouth even closer, granting his tongue entrance to my mouth. His fingers slowly grazed up and down the skin of my back making me tingle with excitement. I reached down in between us and grabbed his length between my fingers slowly stroking it up and down.
"Elena," he groaned as my hand started moving quicker. He suddenly pulled my hand away before pulling my hips closer so he was right at my entrance. The tip of his cock rubbed against my clit and I let out a loud moan. He smirked before pulling me in closer and guiding me down onto his waiting member filling me to the hilt and I cried out so loud I pray to god that if anyone else is in the house they're as far away as possible. I almost forgot how good this feels. He had his hand on my back and I braced myself on his shoulders before I started bobbing up and down over him. I rolled my hips hard and he let out a loud groan. He brought his mouth down and started flicking his tongue over my nipples and sucking them into his mouth.
"Damon…," I moaned breathlessly and the devilish things he's doing with his tongue are only urging me to move faster and roll my hips even harder. He shifted beneath me for a moment before grabbing my hips hard and pumping up into me hard, hitting my G-spot with every thrust and the pleasure is so surreal my vision is starting to blur. "Yes, yes right there, god Damon." Some how I managed to meet his thrusts and he buried his head into the crook of my neck silently saying my name over and over again like a prayer and pressing kisses all over my skin.
"Elena god," he groaned as I continued to roll my hips hard. He grabbed my ass and pulled me in even closer eliciting a shriek from me. Water was sloshing all over the place as I moved up and down quicker. Damon was meeting my thrusts and before I knew it my orgasm hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Oh god oh god Damon," I shouted as I came, my orgasm sent him over the edge with me and I collapsed onto his chest. He ran his hand up and down my back lazily as I sunk all the way down in pure exhaustion. We stayed like that for a minute as our heart rates returned back to normal and he pressed kisses to my shoulder. I looked up at him with a dazed expression on my face and I couldn't help but blush at the way he's looking at me like I'm some sort of art piece or something, which I don't understand because he's like a cross between a Greek god and an Abercrombie model, but even better.
"You are so beautiful you know that," he said softly brushing aside a piece of my wet hair.
"You're the beautiful one," I said nuzzling my face in his neck.
"Turn around," he whispered softly into my ear.
"Why?"
"So I can wash you hair," he said with that smirk of his that always gets my blood boiling. We spent the rest of the night that way. Washing each other, and then making love until the early hours and neither of us could move anymore. I woke up around 6 to my stomach gurgling, and not even a moment later I was running into the bathroom just barely making it to the toilet in time to throw up. I felt Damon come up behind me to hold my hair, and when it finally ended I sunk down into the tiled floor tiredly.
"Hey are you okay," he asked kneeling down in front of me and softly brushing aside a sweaty piece of my hair. "Do you need something?"
"Can I have some water," I asked wincing at the terrible taste in my mouth. He hurriedly grabbed the glass on the sink filling it with water and handed it to me. I drank it quickly before handing him the empty cup, which he set back down on the sink.
"Come on let's get you back to bed," he said picking me up from the floor and carrying me back into bed bridal style. This has become a fairly normal routine for us these past couple weeks. He lied down next to me stroking my back softly until I fell back asleep. The second time I woke up I felt fine, but that didn't stop Damon from asking me if I needed anything every 5 minutes, and he held me close as we walked into the dining room to see his grandparents. He's too overprotective for his own good.
"So what brought on this visit," Grandma Salvatore asked looking at us suspiciously. "Don't get me wrong I love it when you two come, but is there a reason you're here in particular?"
"Well, we actually have some news," I said apprehensively setting down my fork. I feel like I'm going to throw up, but I'm not sure if it's morning sickness hitting me again or nerves; it's probably both.
"Uh Elena is pregnant," Damon said looking between his grandparents. I felt my skin turn a deep color of crimson the second he spoke. Obviously he wanted to jump right in.
"We wanted to tell you in person," he said nervously and I took his hand giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Wow," Giuseppe Senior said with a slightly shocked expression on his face. It's better than anger so I'll take it.
"How far along are you," Grandma Salvatore asked me softly.
"I'm 8 weeks," I pulled the ultrasound out handing it to her and she took it gratefully. It was quiet for a moment as they both studied it together on the other side of the long table.
"This is just…wow," she said looking up at us as tears glazed her eyes. "How are you two handling the news? And your parents?"
"Well it was hard at first, but they're adjusting and we're actually kind of excited about it," I said looking up at Damon who was smiling down at me.
"This is wonderful," she said wiping her tears away and standing up, motioning for Giuseppe Senior to get up with her. "Well don't just sit there come and hug me, it isn't every day I find out I'm getting more grandchildren."
Damon and I both hurriedly rushed over to hug her and she actually seemed genuinely excited about the news. She sent the maid to make a photocopy of the ultrasound and demanded for us to mail her copies of all the future ones. After breakfast she started excitedly discussing getting the nursery ready in our penthouse, buying baby clothes, and having the christening in her church. It's nice to have someone who's been through this before to be excited with. While my mom has accepted my fate, she hasn't really shown a whole lot of interest in it. Even Damon's grandfather who tends to be more on the stoic side seemed excited. Now I just want to know if it's a boy or girl, but I'm about 90% sure I know the answer to that already.
