Chapter 10

'Stefan calm down!' I practically screamed.

Stefan had become a thrashing blur and Damon was having a hard time holding him down. Just that moment Caroline and Bonnie walked in.

'What is going on?' They both asked together

'Okay, Caroline I need you to help Damon hold Stefan down. Bonnie can you perform a spell to hold him still?' I asked kindly

After five minutes we had Stefan sat their trying to move but couldn't. Caroline and Bonnie sat down and watched calmly while Damon came to my side and wrapped his hand around my waist.

'Are you ok?' I asked softly. Once he nodded I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and turned to face Stefan. His eyes were wide with horror at what he had just seen.

'Stefan, when you left I was so upset and Damon was there for me along with everyone else, but he loved you and so did I so he understood how I felt. I need you to understand that when you left I felt that the ripper part of you was someone I didn't know and didn't want to know. You left me stranded and then one night Damon changed. He invited us around for dinner and then I remembered how he kissed me and I decided then that I loved him. Then things carried on from there and about two months later I became pregnant, we found out that any Doppelganger could become pregnant with a vampire as long as they are human. I decided that I would keep the baby and Damon said he would stay with me, he then proposed to me and I accepted.' I held up my left hand to show him the Lapis Lazuli silver ring on my third finger. His breath hitched at the sight of his mother's ring. 'I'm sorry Stefan but I love Damon and we are going to build a family together, I know that sounds harsh but you had your chance.' I smiled sadly up at him and before I knew it Damon had stepped in front of me and started to talk to Stefan but I stepped to stand next to him and squeezed his hand.

(Damon)

Elena had explained to Stefan what had happened and I felt sorry for him, but I could tell that he was trying to compel her so I stepped into his line of vision. Elena though stepped right next to me as I was talking to him. I'm going to have to talk to him alone.

'Elena would you mind if I spoke to Stefan alone for a minute?' I tried to send a message through my eyes that I would be okay. She squeezed my hand and left, Bonnie and Caroline following her, I heard them enter our room. Ah Elena was going to show them the new editions to our nursery.

'Now brother I'm going to ask you to stay away from me and Elena until you forgive yourself and us, we can't change what has happened between us but you could still be our friend Stefan, still be my brother' I said with extra emphasis on the brother.

'I can never be your brother' he spat at me 'You stole my girlfriend and my whole life!'

'Hey she was your ex-girlfriend and I love her' I replied coldly.
