Chapter 7:
Another month had gone by since Damon and Alaric's attempt to rescue Stefan. Upon returning home Damon was very short on the details of how it all went because he was trying to keep her safe. She had pleaded with him several times to tell her what happened but he would not say, and Alaric was the same way. All Damon told her was Stefan is still alive and by staying with Klaus he's keeping her safe. Elena was getting bigger, when she started back to school it was a bit strange to be walking the halls pregnant. All the questions and stares, most wondering if it was Stefan's and where was he? But Elena kept her head up and walked halls not in pure shame but with pride to be carrying Stefan's child. The upside of things was Jeremy was coming around and being helpful to Elena, on the first day of school when everyone was whispering and staring he stood for his sister and walked her to every class holding her hand. Elena had left the ultrasound pictures and video in his room with a note that said: Can't wait for you to meet your nephew. He watched the video over and over and even did a sketching of the picture, he thought to himself that it might not be so bad to have a nephew.
Caroline and Bonnie had become Elena's rock too, they were trying so hard to keep her mind off finding Stefan because everyday Elena thought of a new place Stefan could be and would bring it u saying "I think he's close?, there's been animal attacks in South Carolina?" But they would remind her over and over that she was indeed pregnant and to go vampire searching was not good for her or that growing boy she was carrying. Caroline and Bonnie had decided to give Elena a surprise baby shower because she hadn't gotten anything for him besides the blue onesie's Alaric had given her. After ditching her at school with Jeremy they went over to Damon's to talk to him about possibly hosting the baby shower at his place.
Damon: Judgey! Vampire Barbie!
Caroline: Don't be an ass Damon!
Bonnie: Let's talk!
Damon: (walking into the house further, turning toward them) So what do I owe this unwanted visit
Caroline: Well you see how bummed Elena is with Stefan being gone. I mean she's all pregnant and big and her impending baby daddy/vampire boyfriend is not here to help which sucks. So we were thinking that we would throw her a baby shower. I mean she's carrying this beautiful little boy (turning toward Bonnie) that Bonnie says is unbelievably cute! and she hasn't done anything for him, I mean he doesn't even have a name.
Bonnie: The least you could do is let us having it here. I mean your brother is the father. (smiling, with a smirk)
Caroline: You wouldn't have to do anything besides show up. I mean this will definitely make her feel a lot better.
Damon: Ok
Caroline: You don't even have to come just let us borrow the house. We promise to clean up after and keep everyone downstairs.
Damon: Hey Barbie, I said okay!
Bonnie: Why?
Damon: I have my reasons (walks over pouring a drink)
Caroline: great (pulls out her phone) I'm gonna have all the supplies delivered here.
Bonnie: Why are you all so willing to be helpful.
Damon: Because, I messed up in Alabama! I could have got Stefan to come home all I had to do was tell him!
Bonnie: Tell him what Damon!
Damon: (knocks back a drink) about the kid! He would have come rushing back with cradles and diapers.
Bonnie: Damon! You never told him, why?
Damon: I really don't know but don't judge me because regardless I was protecting her. If Klaus finds out she's alive! This is best, we still don't know all the answers of this kid.
Bonnie: Well about that!
Damon: Looks like I'm not the only one walking around with secrets! Ooooh! Spill!
Bonnie: When saw the vision of Elena's son, In the vision I could see him when he was an infant, a toddler, and a five year old. And every time he was either with you or Jeremy. Elena and Stefan were no where in the vision expect a picture in his room that he stared at. Damon, I don't know if Elena and Stefan survive this?
Damon: (In shock) what do you mean they want survive this? If the kids the problem then we get rid of it.
Bonnie: Damon, No! He's human. We can't just hurt him he's innocent.
Damon: Innocent huh! But some how his mother's gonna die! (angry) Fine! You wanna play this game okay! However this turns out when we have to pick a life to save I chose Elena, I will always chose Elena! So you better use every little witchy spell you have to stop me because, If this starts to go south. Elena will be alive in the end.
Just then Caroline came back in and she was seeing the mood changer in the room and said "no, no, no, no, you already said yes Damon. You can't change your mind." Damon walked away saying "do as you want I don't care." Bonnie was left with the thought of how to protect two innocent people now because Damon had made it clear that he will eliminate the problem if needed.
Elena had just arrived home from school and she was really hungry, she walked into her kitchen and pulled down a bag of chips saying "is this what you want little one." She munches on the bag reaches for a nice cold apple juice. Jeremy soon came in and saw her eating, he smirked and walked in saying "you should feed my nephew more than just chips." He pulled out the bread and meat from the refrigerator and stared making her a sandwich. She watched him smiling and touched his hand saying "thanks Jer for being here for me, I know that all this was a bit shocking to you but I'm glad you so supportive now." Jeremy was cutting a tomato and he looked up at his sister smiled and replied "I'm your brother, your all I have. I'm sorry I was such an ass but I want you know I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna be a good brother, and amazing uncle. Yea especially since the other alternative is Damon." Elena touched her belly and said "you hear that little guy, you've won over your Uncle, and you're already loved so much. " Just then Elena felt a kick and looked a Jeremy , she placed her hand out for Jeremy to come closer and put his hand on her belly. Jeremy felt her stomach and then he felt kick. Jeremy started to smile and said "wow he really is in there, isn't he."
Damon was upstairs in his room trying to think of possible reasons Bonnie couldn't see Elena in the kid's future. He was racking his brain and couldn't think of any other excuses. He grabbed his jacket and left for downstairs to leave the house, downstairs his living had been transformed into a frilly baby blue motif with so many presents, toys, and diapers. Damon looked over at Caroline saying "been exercising your vampire works I can see." Caroline looked over at him a replied "at least I use my powers for good", Damon walked toward the door and saw Bonnie placing out napkins and said "I'll be back so ….. yeah" and he left. Once he was gone Bonnie placed the napkins back on the table and headed upstairs to Stefan's room. She entered his room seeing all of his things, she had never been there before and was astonished how his room reflected jus exactly how Stefan was. Immediately walking in she saw what she came for a picture of he and Elena on the nightstand next to the bed. She walked over to the nightstand and picked it up and then began digging in her purse, until she found the ultrasound picture of Elena's baby boy. Placing the pictures down on the bed she took out a grimoire she they had took from the Martin witches and opened the book. She opened the book to a page reading: PROTECTION! She took out a candle and lit it, closed her eyes and began to chant: mal la sege un du so mori canto, mal la sege un du so mori canto, mal la sege un du so mori canto. All of sudden the pictures began to float in the air, she took he candle and burned both the pictures until they were ash. She started to chant the next part say: Calle mus do mi, calle mus do mi, calle mus do mi, calle mus do mi. Until the candle light had gone out. She looked down and the picture was back on the bed, picking up the picture she flipped it over and on the back was the ultrasound picture. Putting it back in the frame and the grimoire back in her bag she exited the room.
Damon had gone over to Elena's house, walking up to the door he backed away and decided to go in through the window. As he entered he saw her sleeping on the bed with her belly covered up by the blanket. He walked over to her and watched her breathing, He touched her face and brushed her cheek saying "how can I covet my brother's girlfriend , why did it have to be you?" He pulled back the cover a littler and stared at her belly he put out his hand to touch it and as soon as he did his hand was blocked as if he wasn't invited. He kept trying and he couldn't understand, looking at Elena he wondered was this baby truly human. He placed his hand back on her face and stoked her cheek once more as he kissed her forehead and left the room.
Thanks for reading! I don't know if it was confusing but it will be explained a little bit more in the next chapter. The story will keep evolving so please keep reading. Damon always wants what his little brother has, shouldn't it be little brother wanting what big brother has.
