He kissed me again before pulling back. "Have you thought of any names?" He asked.

"I like Nina Kate for a girl. But I haven't thought about any boy names. Have you?"

"Nina Kate Salvatore and Ian Joseph Salvatore." He replied smirking.

I snorted. "It would be Nina Kate Gilbert and Ian Joseph Gilbert."

"Fine let's meet in the middle. Their last names can be Gilberatore or Salvabert." He smirked while I laughed.

"No fricking way in hell."

"Well we could always get married and then we'd both have the same last name."

I froze as I looked at him. "Are you serious?" I spluttered.

"You love me, I Iove you, why not?"

"Because first of all were not even going out yet and secondly I'm only seventeen Damon I don't want to get married not yet."

I could see the hurt flash across his face so to make him feel better I asked. "Can I stay in here tonight?" He smirked as he pulled me under the covers and against his chest. "I thought you'd never ask."


2 months later…

I walked down the stairs as I headed towards the kitchen. Damon was cooking pancakes as everyone else sat around the table patiently waiting. "Hey." I called as I took a seat next Brook. Everyone mumbled there hello's and good morning's.

Damon finished cooking the pancakes and placed them all in the middle of the table. He walked over to me and kissed the top of my head as I took a bite of the pancake. "I'm going to meet Alaric to see if we can find anything else about Klaus."

"Have fun." I mumbled through a mouthful of food.

Jeremy quickly put his plate in the sink as he ran after Damon calling. "I'm coming to."

We've been researching ways on how to kill Klaus for just over two months now with no such luck. Everyday we've been searching for a weapon that can kill an original but all are efforts have been pointless. In a few months Elijah will come to collect me to bring me to Klaus and I'll die. I feel scared now about dying, before I didn't care because I was saving my family and friends but know the fact that my kids will grow up without a mom sickens me. But at least they'll have Damon.

There was a knock at the door so while me and Jenna where cleaning up Brook went to answer it.

"Hello." Brook said to man on the other side of the door. He smiled at her as he said.

"Hi, is Elena here?"

"Depends on who's asking." She said stubbornly.

"I own this place and I live in it."

"No, you don't. I know the people who live here and I know the person who owns it."

"Who Damon?" The man asked.

"Nope." Brook said popping the 'p'.

The man tried to peer around her but she stepped to the side blocking it. "Now I'll ask again nicely. Who are you?"

"Who are you?" He asked ignoring her question.

She took in a deep breath before she spat. "I'm the bitch that will shoot your ass in a minute if you don't tell me who you are."

The man smirked before he leaned in close and whispered. "You don't know what I'm capable of."

She pulled out the gun that was hidden in the back of her trousers and pointed it at him. "Oh I know exactly what you're capable of. You come here claiming to live here but if you really lived here you'd just open the door and walk in unless you can't which would mean you're a vampire and need to be invited in. So if that's the case I'd leave now because I don't have the best of tempers and there's no way in hell I'll be inviting you in any time soon."

Instead of leaving he started to shout. "Elena! Elena!"

As soon as I heard my name I walked towards the door. I gasped as I saw the person on the other side of the door. His eyes widened as he took in my state and my bulging belly. "Stefan." I said shocked but he didn't take his eyes of my belly.

He let out a cold laugh. "Wow, first me, then my brother and then some other poor sap."

"Excuse me." I exclaimed as his eyes, that used to be so filled with love and warmth but were now cold and filled with hate, stared at me.

"I came back here to apologize for running off and to tell you I wanted to give us another go and that I still loved you but I made the right decision leaving. So please do share, who's the father? Or do you not know because you've slept with so many other guys?" He spat.

Brook fired the gun in to Stefan's shoulder so he fell to the floor groaning in pain. She walked out of the door way and walked over to his body as he lay on the ground withering in pain as she shot him again. "Let's get one thing straight, you don't talk to her like that and for your information the babies are Damon's."

"Bullshit, vampires can't have children." He shouted.

"Guess again." She smirked before walking back in to the safety of the house. "Now I suggest you leave before Damon returns. He wouldn't like it if he knew you upset Elena."

I didn't realise until then but there were tears in my eyes. I'd only ever seen this Stefan when he was on human blood and he was a completely different person.

Brook closed the door before pulling me in to a hug. "He's a dick ignore him."

I stood there for a few minutes before Jenna came down the stairs. "Hey are you okay? What happened?" She asked as she saw Brook holding me. I pulled away to give Jenna a weak smile as I wiped my eyes. "Stefan just stopped by."

"Oh honey, come here." She ran down the last few stepped and pulled me in to a hug. "I have to meet Ric at the grill but I can cancel if you want."

"No, no, you go have a good time I'll be fine. I might just go for a nap any way I'm feeling a little dizzy." I admitted. She nodded as she opened the door but luckily by then Stefan had already gone.

A few hours later I awoke feeling much worse. I'd felt a bit dizzy before but know I felt dizzy, had a headache and my eyes couldn't focus on anything. I stumbled my way out of the room I shared with Damon and made my way down stairs and in to the living room. I slumped in to the chair across from Brook who was watching Dylan play with the puppy.

She looked up at me and furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you okay? You look terrible." She commented.

"Gee, thanks. But no I don't feel good." I said and then explained how I was feeling. She got up and came back in ten minutes later with a cup of tea in her hands. She handed it to me and smiled. "This should make you feel better."

I took a sip and immediately the taste exploded in my mouth. I let out a satisfied moan as I quickly gulped down the rest of it and instantly my sickness subsided.

"Wow, what's in this?" I asked.

"Blood."

"What?" I exclaimed.

"Blood." She repeated. "You looked like you were about to collapse. The twins are half vampire Elena I took a leap of faith and guessed you needed blood and I see it paid off because the colours returned to your face."

I stared open mouthed at her as it tried to register with my brain. I'd just drank blood… and I liked it.

Before I could form a replay she said. "I'm taking Dylan to the shop to get some sweets. I'll be back later." She shrugged on her coat and grabbed Dylan's hand as he pouted about having to leave the puppy.


Brook walked down the road leading to the corner shop as Dylan held her hand. "When are we going home?" He asked.

"In a few months, I promise."

"Can we bring Ava with us?" He asked talking about the puppy.

"I suppose we can." She said as she admitted defeat.

That's when she saw him. In the distance by the edge of the woods. He wore a look of remorse as he stood and stared at her. And then in a flash there was a stinging pain on her neck as someone's teeth clamped down on her artery. She heard Dylan scream before everything went black and she fell to the floor unconscious.


She awoke a few hours later in a white room. She winced as she pulled out the needles in her arms. She slipped her legs over the edge of the bed and slowly started to walk towards the door. A nurse walked in then as she saw Brook's unsteady legs she moved to grip her arm and try and lead her back to the bed.

But Brook wouldn't move. "Where am i? What happened?" She asked panicked.

"It's okay you're in the hospital. You were attacked and you lost a lot of blood. We also had to perform an emergency C-section." The nurse replied.

"What! Where's my daughter?" She screamed.

"We need to get you back to bed and you need to calm down."

"No where's my daughter?" She shouted.

The nurse sighed before saying. "We tried everything we could, but she didn't make it."

Brook's eyes filled with tears she turned to the door way as she saw Damon appear "Is it true?" She asked. He nodded. Her legs gave way as she fell to the ground sobbing. Damon sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his chest. After about twenty minutes her tears started to slow down and she asked. "It was him, you know?"

"Who?" Damon asked confused.

"My brother. I saw him before I was attacked." Then she paused before she started to look around panicked. "Where's Dylan? He was with me. Where did they take him?" She asked motioning to the doctors walking around the room.

Damon's brows furrowed as he answered. "He wasn't bought in with you. You were the only one at the scene when the ambulance arrived. I presumed he was at home with Elena."

"No!" She jumped to feet before trying to run for the door but Damon's hands wrapped around her waist stopping her. "I have to find him Damon. What if it's Klaus that has him?" She asked panicked as more tears streamed down her eyes.

"Brook you just lost your baby. You need to rest."

"What so in the mean time I can lose another kid too. I won't lose him Damon I have to find him!" She shouted.

"Get dressed you can't go searching for him like that."


After over an hour of searching they went back to the boarding house. As soon as the door opened and Brook walked in I jumped off the sofa and threw myself into her arms as my own tears fell on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry." I whispered.

Her body started to shake with sobs again as fresh tears made their appearance. "Did you find Dylan?" I asked.

She shook her head as she continued to cry. She pulled back as she wiped her eyes and changed the subject. "You'll need to drink a little blood every day to stay healthy." She walked around me then as Damon walked in and gave me a confused look as I mouthed the word 'later'. Brook bent down and picked up the little bundle of fluff in to her arms as she cuddled Ava close to her chest.

"Can I get you anything?" I asked as I wiped my own eyes. She shook her head before answering.

"I just want to be left alone."

Wanting to give her some space I told them I was off to bed.

Brook turned to look up at Damon. "You'll help me find Klaus won't you?"

Damon swallowed back the lump in his throat. "I can't."

"What?"

"We have no weapon to kill Klaus. So if we go barging in, guns blazing we'll die and right now my priority is Elena and my kids and I won't leave them to go on a suicide mission." He explained.

"You're kidding right? Whenever you needed help and got yourself in a life threatening situation I dropped everything to come save your ass. You know why I did that because you're my friend and that's what friends do. I dropped everything to come here and help you and you won't do the same!"

"No, I'm sorry I really am but right now I can't leave Elena and we both know we'd die if we did anyway."

She shook her head as she marched past him placing the dog down on the sofa as she opened the door but paused as she said. "Ask Elena about the deal she made with Elijah. You're so sure she needs you but she doesn't even expect to have a life in a few months and I mean this sincerely, when Klaus blows into town I hope he kills Elena and your children so you know what I'm going through." She spat as she slammed the door shut behind her. Leaving Damon speechless


Brook's feet brought her to the mystic grill. When she sat down Elijah walked in and sat down next to her. "I can help you." He said.

"Oh really how?"

"I know how to find your brother so you can get your powers back. And I also know a way to kill Klaus but I'll need your help."

"How?" She asked as hope filled her eyes.

"If a witch can canal enough power they can kill him." He answered.

"Like the place where over a hundred witches were massacred. If I could use their powers would that be enough."

He nodded. "And I know you know where that place is. But first things first. Do we have a deal?" he said as he held out his hand.

She placed her hand in his and shook it. "Deal."
