So : ( feeling a little rejected after I noticed I lost one of my followers since the last chapter. Reviews of encouragement would certainly help. Also this chapter was inspired by the song Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. Enjoy loves ^_^

Elena's POV

After finally getting home I collapsed onto my bed and passed out almost immediately. Next thing I know I felt a warm breath in my ear. "Mind if I join you?" Damon's sultry voice roused me out of my sleep.

"Mmm, yes please." I rolled over slowly to allow Damon some space. I knew in the back of my mind it still wasn't fair yet. I was still with Stefan and technically he was now back but Damon insisted on keeping him away from me until he could process things.

I was still unsure what I was going to do, but as Damon trailed lazy kisses down the back of my neck and shoulder and snaked his arm around my waist I knew there was hardly a question of what I was going to do with myself. "Damon." I whispered with my eyes still closed, savoring his warm lips caressing my skin.

"Hmmm?" he answered. "I just want you to know something." I turned around to face him and took one of his hands in my hand.

This took him my surprise and his eyes became serious and smoldering as he waited for me to continue. "I know that after what happened, well things have been different." He gave a small smile and nodded, patient.

"Well, I know we have already talked about the baby a little and how it will be yours as much as mine and I would never keep that from you." I paused as he tilted his forehead to rest on mine making me look up at him and smile. "I just wanted you to know that although I don't know what is going to happen in the future, right now I want us to be together."

I waited for a reaction before quickly speaking again, "I mean I know I'm still with Stefan and I really need to talk to him about some things obviously, but I just don't think I can go back to him, at least back to the way things were, not after…" Damon's finger and thumb lifted my chin softly as I searched for the right words. "…this." I could hardly think clearly anymore. Damon was kissing my jaw line gently while still controlling his access with his thumb and finger directing my chin with the most tender of persuasions.

"I love you." His raspy voice came out almost as a moan. I sighed in response. "I love you too Damon." And my hand came to meet his face and pulled it to my own. "Now kiss me." He smirked with low eye lids and happily fulfilled my request.

He pulled me to be on top of him and I sat up slightly to straddle him. I started to go back in for the kiss but he held his hands up. "Hold on, I just want to get a good look at you. Right here, in this moment." I blushed under his loving gaze and finally laughed self-consciously.

"Why? So you can enjoy the last few times you'll see me without a giant belly?" He laughed with me. "Don't be ridiculous, you really think I'll find you any less lovely once you start showing?" I dropped my eyes and stared at the blankets bunched around my ankles. Of course I know this is what I want and I'd sacrifice my figure for a baby any day, but if Damon and I stay together most of our relationship will consist of a bloated version of myself. I couldn't help but feel insecure about it.

"Elena, look at me." His voice was gentle with significance now. "I will love you no matter what you look like, in fact…" He pulled my arms so that I was laying parallel on him and dropped his voice a few octaves, "you carrying something that we created together inside you against, well, basically against the laws of nature… that's the most incredible thing to me. It makes me love you even more."

My breath caught at the gravity of his words mixed with his intense gaze. I was completely swept up in our own world by the time I moved forward ever so slightly to close the distance between us.

It wasn't long before I lost patience for clothes and grinded my core against this growing hardness through our jeans. The pressure along was enough to make us both gasp. He tugged my closer in desperation after a few good grinds left me panting.

"Oh god Damon. Don't stop." I shuttered as he continued to tease my nipple through my thin tank top. "As you wish." He whispered heavily against my neck.

I could feel his fangs lengthen against my neck and suddenly my heart started to quicken. "Damon!" I tried to say it sternly but I could feel my confidence wading under the way his fangs were not grazing along my neck. I could practically hear the smirk in his voice, "You know I could get use to this."

I laughed lightly and shifted lower on the bed so that we were at eye level. "Get use to what?" I asked while looking into his eyes, he responded with his low lidded lust-filled smile. "You." And with that he went right back to paying special attention to my other nipple and continued his agonizingly slow thrusts against me.

I could feel myself practically soaking through my panties with the anticipation of it all. Soon his teasing left me overly impatient and in one aggressive move I whirled around to pin him under me and rip his clothes off. I paused for a moment and heard Damon, "Elena?" The abrupt movement left me light headed and seeing black spots. "Are you okay Elena?"

"I-I think I'm going to faint…" I said just before it all went black.

Damon's POV

"Elena?" I asked as after she flipped me over. She seemed like she was so into and now she is just sitting there with an odd look. "Are you okay Elena?" I tried again and this time I knew something was wrong.

"I-I think I'm going to faint…" she said slowly and then as soon as she started to slump I caught her. "ELENA!" I yelled shaking her carefully. Oh shit. I set her on the bed and yelled for whoever might still be around from earlier.

"Caroline! Bonnie! Tyler!" I looked downstairs but no one was there. I knew Stefan was back at our place but I still wasn't sure if he would do more harm or good. "GAHH!" I let out a frustrated sound not knowing what to do. For all I know Elena is dying! I couldn't think like that.

I picked up my phone with almost shaky hands and dialed the first person I thought of that would know what to do. He answered on the 1st ring. "Hello Damon Salvatore, to what do I owe this pleasure?" He was formal as ever.

"Klaus. What do you know about the vampire reproduction spell?" I was skipping the formalities.

"Well, well. Did our dear Elena go through with it after all? How absolutely wonderful, you'll have to give her and Stefan my congratulations." I was silent for a while trying to figure out what to say when he spoke. "Unless of course you are the one I should be congratulating." He waited.

"Yeah, it was me." I felt a small amount of pride from admitting it but then I remembered who I was talking to. "But you didn't answer the question. What do you know about the spell?"

He was in an uncharacteristically joyful mood today, "How lovely to know it was the eldest of the brothers to win Elena's heart after all. Now the spell you're talking about is very old indeed, but I did see it happen once before. Why do you ask?" He was suddenly all business and evil again.

A glance back towards Elena's room and a vision of her lying motionlessly on her bed brought me back to my panicked state yet again.

"She's passed out. I have no idea what's wrong." I said and my whole front crumbled into pure concern. Klaus noticed and seemed to be paying more attention now. "How long has it been since conception?" I felt sick. That must confirm it. This is related to the pregnancy. "Maybe a day, not even." I responded running a hand through my hair.

"I'll be there soon." And with that Klaus hung up leaving me even more worried than before if that was even possible. I instinctively ran back to Elena on the bed.

I grabbed her slack hand and kneeled next to her bedside. "Elena, if you can hear me I want to apology right now for bringing Klaus into this but I didn't really have a choice, I'm kind of freaking out here." I stopped and glanced down at her still tiny stomach,

"Hey little one. You're already making me crazy with worry. Don't do anything to hurt your mom now or me and you are gonna have some trouble." The corners of my mouth rose slightly at my silliness of addressing something that was hardly a day old. Oh well, at least it's calming me down a little.

I placed a hand over the spot where it would soon be very pronounced on her body and smiled a little bigger.

The moment was ruined by a knock at the door. Klaus. I thought as worry flooded back. I ran down stairs to meet him after hesitating in the entry way of Elena's room.

Once I opened the door I went outside to talk with him on the porch. "What's happened to her?" I asked trying to keep the treating tone out of my voice to possibly safe for later.

"You mean besides the fact that she is currently with a child?" He didn't even give me a chance to give my frustrated reply that was already forming in my mind. "She's starving more than likely; actually it would be the one that is starving. You see this isn't just an ordinary child you have growing in there. This child is the offspring of two vampires, nevermind the fact that you had to temporarily become human in order to conceive it."

His calm and knowledgeable voice had me asking more questions in my head but I settled on the most pressing one. "What can I do?" He scoffed. "Feed it of course. I expect your little witch didn't fill you in on all the pregnancy details like she should have. Guess it's up to Uncle Klaus to save the day." He ended with a smile but all I could do was roll my eyes to keep from verbally growling.

"So spit it out, what does it eat?" He stuck his hands in his pocket and glanced around a bit before responding with an outstretched finger pointing to a tree. "Well, mainly that." I followed his finger in disbelief. "Trees?" I furrowed my brows and was ready to yell at him to stop screwing around when he laughed.

"No don't be stupid. I was pointing to the squirrel." I looked at him still slightly confused, "So blood then?" He shook his head and came closer to me. "Not just blood mate, meat. Has to be fresh as well. It's a bit of a gory thing to watch but does provide the best nutrition. Seeing as lovely Elena is use to drinking blood by now the switch shouldn't be too tough. But don't worry as soon as she's given birth she'll go right back to only drinking blood and have back all of her other vampy traits as well."

I was still staring at the squirrel who now made it half way up the tree. "So fresh bloody meat? That's it?" I turned towards him with an eye brow raised. "You can feed her human food as well for her own nourishment but if we are talking about what the child will need to survive then yes, fresh bloody meat is the ticket." He then stepped away from the house and glanced up at Elena's bedroom window in longing.

"I so wish I could congratulate her in person. I did after all give you the information needed to safe her unborn child's life." He already wore a knowing smirk.

I signed. "Fine. You bring me the fresh meat and I'll let you congratulate us." I emphasized the us in order to make sure he understood this was going to be as much my child as hers even if it wasn't exactly planned on my part.

"Excellent. I'll expect you both at my house later this evening for dinner. In the mean time I'd catch that squirrel if I were you. She'll need something to hold her over. I'll be seeing you." And with that Klaus was gone leaving me to stare at the squirrel in question.
