A/N: Thank you guys for the amazing reviews. This chapter will switch from Elena's POV to Damon's POV. It will be back and forth.


8 weeks pregnant

I was laying down on our bed. I started feeling sick. I was throwing up constantly and my hormones were all over the place. Damon told me that I needed to rest even though I knew I was fine. I barely got to sleep because I was getting sick all the time.

Damon was downstairs making me something to eat when I felt dizzy. I ran towards the bathroom and immediately threw up.

"Elena?" I turned around to see Damon walk in.

"go away, I don't want you to see this" I snapped at him as I sat on the floor with my back up against the wall. I watched him grab a wet wash cloth and wiped my mouth with it. I sighed at him "I look disgusting"

"no, you don't. You look beautiful" he told me brushing my hair out of my face.

"no, I really don't" I crossed my arms and felt another wave of nausea. I turned to face the toilet. I threw up again and Damon pulled my hair out of the way and rubbed my back trying to comfort me.

When I stopped I slowly sat back against the wall and put my face in my hands. I heard Damon sigh and took me in his arms. "everything will be ok, I promise"

"Im eight weeks pregnant and Im already miserable" I pouted.

"yes but it will all be worth it in the end" he told me rocking me back and forth. "why don't I put you in bed and give you a massage, okay?"

I nodded and we slowly got up and he carried me bridal style to our bed. He set me down so I was laying on my side and laid down next to me and started rubbing my back.


Damon POV

I was rubbing her back when I noticed her breathing steadied. I slowly looked up and sighed of relief when she fell asleep. She hadn't slept well for the last few days and wasn't able to keep that much food down.

I slowly got off the bed and grabbed my phone and quietly left the room. I walked downstairs to the parlor and called Dr. Fell.

Meredith "Damon?"

D "I want you to see Elena this afternoon"

M "my schedule is pretty full"

D "well than make room"

M "Damon..."

D "just do it, okay?"

M "Fine, how about 430?"

D "perfect"

I hung up and looked down at my watch. It was 12:30 now, so Elena was able to sleep for a while. I went back upstairs and laid down next to her. She snuggled into my chest and I protectively wrapped my arm around her waist.

I watched her sleep for a while until she started to stir. I looked at my watch and it was almost 3:30.

"how long was I asleep" Elena groaned.

"3 hours, I made an appointment with Dr. Fell for you" I said rubbing her stomach. She sat up slowly and winced grabbing her head.

"I can't get up" Elena told me laying back down. I sighed sadly.

"baby, you have to, you haven't been eating much and when you do eat, you rarely keep it down. Plus, your rarely getting sleep."

"tell that to the baby inside me. I never thought pregnancy was this bad"

"Ill bring you your clothes and carry you to the car, okay?" I suggested.

She slowly nodded and buried her head in the pillow. I kissed her hair and got out of bed to get her clothes.

When I got all of them, I threw them to her and she slowly got dressed on the bed. When she was done, she got out of the bed and clutched her forehead. "Damon, it hurts"

I walked up to her and took her in my arms. "I know baby...shhhh" I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the car.


We were put in an examining room when we got to Mystic Falls hospital. Elena was laying on the examining table when Dr. Fell walked in.

"hi guys, whats up"

"I feel like Im going to die!"

Meredith looked at me and I cleared my throat. "she hasn't been..."

"I can tell her what happened!" Elena snapped.

I put my hands up in defense. I knew she didn't really mean it, Dr. Fell had told us all the symptoms of being pregnant and one of them was mood swings.

"I can't sleep or eat because of this damn migraine, now give me something so I can go back to my life!"

"Im going to guess, from morning sickness?" Dr. Fell asked.

I nodded at her. "Well, she is 8 weeks pregnant and thats usually when you start to feel it. It just takes time, it will pass, but if you want I could give you pregnant pills that will help with the nausea and headaches"

"GOOD!"

Dr. Fell cleared her throat "Im going to do an ultrasound, okay?" We both nodded and as soon as Dr. Fell left the room I sighed.

"Elena, come here" I said as I walked towards her. I just wanted to comfort her as much as I could. Thankfully, she let me. She buried her head in my chest when Dr. Fell came back in.

"ok, this may be cold" I watched as Dr. Fell put this cream or whatever on Elena's stomach. She turned the machine on and started moving around her stomach. "theres the heart beat"

I looked and saw a little flicker on the screen that I assumed was the heart beat. I smiled at it, still processing that after 146 years of believing vampires couldn't procreate, I was becoming a vampire dad.

"is the baby gonna be any different since Im a vampire?" I was curious, I wanted to be aware just in case the baby comes out with fangs and scares the hell out of the doctor.

"maybe, Im going to be honest with you, Elena's pregnancy may be...different, seeing as how your not human"

I glared at her comment. "how different" Elena asked concerned.

"Im not sure, I've never heard of any vampire and human pregnancies, so far your pregnancy seems normal. But, I would just be aware of it...have a good day" I watched as Dr. Fell walked out of the room.

"maybe we should ask Klaus"

I looked at her stunned that she would actually suggest that. "you seriously want that hybrid freak who is obsessed with using your blood to make hybrids to know about our baby?"

She rolled her eyes at me and sighed "no, your right...than who are we going to ask?"

"I don't know, we'll see how it goes" I helped her off the table and when we walked out of the room Meredith had Elena's prescription.


We got back to the house and Elena immediately went upstairs and fell asleep after taking a pill. I tucked her in and kissed her forehead. I was relieved that she was sleeping.

When i got back downstairs, I saw Stefan. "how'd it go?"

I shrugged at him "ok, I guess, Meredith gave her pregnancy pills or whatever to help with the nausea" I started to make some dinner for Elena. Which was spaghetti.

"thats...thats nice"

I stopped making the spaghetti and looked at him. He was tapping his nails on the kitchen and he was sweating. I sighed knowing what this meant "please tell me you didn't kill anyone?"

He looked away from me making me sigh frustratingly. I ran my fingers through my hair "at least tell me you took care of it and covered your tracks?"

"I didn't kill them, but I fed on them...would you be able to help me control it?"

I sighed "yeah, but you need to listen this time, this was a bad time for you to start human blood" I said pointing the spoon at him.

"i know, its just, I was a little angry with Elena choosing you, and I don't know, I slipped"

I looked away from him. I felt guilty with being with Elena but at the same time, I don't regret being with her. "look, we never meant to hurt you"

Stefan smiled and nodded "I know"

"good, now, Im going to finish making dinner for Elena, you go do whatever you want" I said turning my attention back to the spaghetti.

"Im going to go to Caroline's, see if she will help me until your done with that"

"Ok, just don't eat the Sheriff"

"funny, no, Caroline wanted to hang out today"

"oohhh, do I see a threesome going on? You-Barbie-and wolf boy?" I said turning around to smirk at him.

He rolled his eyes at me "yeah, whatever bye" and he quickly left.

I started thinking, I wonder if he and barbie actually hit it off. That would be a problem especially on a full moon. We might need to be in Klaus's nice list. I heard someone walking upstairs, and I knew Elena was up.

"Damon?"

"in here" I screamed. She walked in and wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my back.

"hey babe, did you sleep ok?"

I felt her nod her head. "mmmhhmmm, this smells good"

I smirked "everything I make smells good, go take a seat, its almost done"

As she sat down, I could tell she was watching me. I heard her lick her lips and I smirked. "see something you like?"

"maybe"

I put her plate in front of her and kissed her "Ill be back, Im hungry"

"you can feed from me, you know" she said as she started eating.

I jumped in shock. She didn't pay attention to my reaction, she was dead serious. "wh-what, did you just say?"

"you can feed from me, I know you won't hurt me" I watched as she moved her hair away from her neck. She actually wants me to bite her on the neck.

"Elena, your pregnant, Im not going to feed from you"

"so, I still want you to"

I was stunned. I couldn't believe she was asking me to do this. She has always stayed away from biting unless Stefan or I were in desperate need of healing. I was fine, I was just hungry, I am perfectly capable of walking down to the cellar to get a blood bag. Its not like Im going to die if I don't have a drink right now. "Elena, I...no, not while your pregnant, if you still want me to after you had the baby than yes I will"

"oh, so you will bite other people but you won't bite me!" she snapped which caused me to jump.

"where is this coming from? Elena, id choose you in a heart beat." I walked over to her and tried to hug her but she pulled away.

"than prove it to me, bite me" she said standing up.

"Elena, no, Im not doing this while your pregnant"

She groaned in frustration "why not!" she started smacking my chest.

I gently grabbed her wrist. "Elena, why do you want me to?"

"because you told me that it was like vampire sex"

I widened my eyes, what the fuck kind of pills did Meredith give her? "yes, it is, but its just as good as sex"

"I just want to try it" she shrugged.

"Elena, if you want to have sex, all you have to do is ask me" I smirked, no doubt I would never turn down sex with Elena.

"I don't want sex, I just want you to bite me and I want to bite you"

"Elena, thats blood sharing, you have no idea what that will do"

"What will it do?"

"lets just say its personal, look if you want my blood, fine, but Im not taking your blood"

"fine! Forget I asked!"

She went back to her food and I went to the basement to grab myself a blood bag. When I came back up I poured it into a glass and went to sit next her but she moved a stool away. "Elena, are you seriously mad at me about this?"

I heard her sigh "no, I don't know why I snapped at you, I didn't mean to" she got up and put her dish in the sink and came over to me wrapping her arms around me.

I stood up and wrapped my arm around her while the other was holding my glass. "I know, although I am curious, what made you want me to feed on you?"

She shrugged at me "I just wanted to see how it felt, you would only have to take a little"

"Elena, you were talking like you wanted me to feed on you for survival"

"I was" she said nodding.

I sighed "Elena, if I was going to feed off you from survival, I would have to take more than a little"

"oh, well, I still want you to" She said resting her chin on my chest.

"Elena, no, Im not going to do that" I saw the disappointment on her face which made me want to change my mind. I hated disappointing her, but I was right in this situation "why don't you go put a movie on, Ill clean up and watch it with you" I tried kissing her but she pulled away and left the room.


When I got upstairs she didn't have a movie on, she was laying on the edge of the bed completely sound asleep. I sighed of relief, and took my shirt and pants off and slept in my boxers. I tried pulling her into my arms but she resisted so I let it go and turned to lay on my back.

I heard her roll over and she started kissing my neck causing me to moan. I carefully pushed her on her back and hovered over her and kissed her passionately. She deepened the kiss and extended her neck up causing my fangs to emerge. I sped off the bed and watched her look at me with a confused look. "if your going to seduce me just so I will bite you, you can forget about it!"

She rolled her eyes and went back to her side of the bed as I got on my side. I went to pull her closer and luckily this time she did. She snuggled closer to me as I spooned her.
