A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys, I really appreciate it.

Damon's POV

"what are you doing here Sage?" I asked leaning against the door.

Sage shrugged. "I heard Finn was alive, so I thought he might still be in town"

"well, he was but now he is spending time with his mommy" I said smirking.

Sage tried to get in but was blocked by the barrier. "oohhh, Im sorry, you haven't been invited in"

Sage gave me an evil smirk. "Well, I guess Ill just stay somewhere else. My dinner got away from me last night"

I knew she was talking about Elena. Maybe she was just looking hungry. Maybe she didn't want anything to do with Elena. I hope that is true.

"so, I heard your in love with a human. Did you forget everything that I taught you?"

"Nope, I haven't. I just don't do it anymore" I smirked.

"humanity makes a vampire weak. This human has you wrapped around your finger. Im also guessing that she owns this house and thats the reason I can't be invited in...I would love to introduce myself to her" Sage gave me an evil grin.

"yeah, sorry but she is sleeping right now, so I think its best that you leave"

"you wouldn't happen to be dating my dinner from last night would you?"

I swallowed hard "How would I know what your dinner looked like? I wasn't there"

"hmmm, well, I better go than. Im going to go say hi to Klaus and Rebekah. See if they want to go out for a bite to eat since you obviously forgot what it means to be a vampire" Sage was taunting me. She knew I would snap. I haven't forgotten what it means to be a vampire, but it all ends when you fall in love.

"well, good luck" I said closing the door. I took a deep breath and walked back into the kitchen and sighed in relief when I saw Elena sitting there.

"are you okay?" she asked me.

I was debating if I should tell her about Sage but she already had enough things to worry about. Although, I hate lying to her. "yeah, Im fine. Why don't you go get dressed" I smiled at her.

She nodded and went upstairs. Once I knew she was upstairs I quickly pulled out my phone and called Stefan.

S "hello"

D "Stef, Sage was here"

S "what?"

D "im sorry, did I stutter? Sage was at the house"

S "what did she say?"

D "the basics, vampirism, she talked about Elena"

S "does she know who she is?"

D "I don't think so, I think she was just hungry and Elena was suppose to be one of her victims. Anyways, Elena and I have to go to her doctor appointment, I need you to make sure Sage isn't stalking the house. I don't want her seeing Elena"

S "alright, Ill leave Caroline with Klaus. Im on my way"

I hung up and heard Elena turning off my bedroom light and walking towards the stairs. My phone beeped. I looked down at it and I got a text from Stefan.

"everything is clear. Theres no sign of anyone"

I sighed in relief and put my phone away just as Elena was coming into the kitchen. "hey, you ready?" I asked.

SHe nodded and I wrapped my arm around her waist walking her to the front door. I walked Elena to the car and opened the passenger door for her. Once we were both in the car I drove away as quickly as possible.

"Damon, can...can you slow down?"

"oh, sorry. I-I wasn't paying attention" I said gripping the steering wheel.

"Ok, Damon, whats going on?"

Fuck Im caught. "what do you mean?"

"Your my best friend/boyfriend, Damon. I know you better than anyone and I can tell your tense about something. You have been ever since you answered the door. Who was at the door?"

I closed my eyes and sighed. "Elena, its not important"

"Damon, since when did we start lying to each other?"

I sighed frustratingly. I knew I was going to have to eventually tell her, but I didn't want it to be now. "Elena, the person at the door was...Sage"

I looked over at her to see her facial expression. Her face was filled with fear. "wh-what did she say?"

I turned back to the road. "she doesn't know that were together. She just said that her dinner got away. She said she is town for Finn, so hopefully, she will leave soon"

"well, hopefully Klaus finds her and reasons with her" she said.

I nodded as we pulled into the hospital parking lot. We waited in the waiting room for what seemed like hours.

"Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore?" the nurse said.

Elena and I both got up and went to the room the nurse gave us. Elena sat on the examining table while I pulled a chair close to it. I could hear her heartbeat and I realized she was nervous so I grabbed her hand. "its going to be okay" I assured her. She gave me a weak smile and nodded.

"Damon, Elena" Dr. Fell walked into the room. "what brings you in today?" she said washing her hands.

"I've been under a lot of stress, I want to make sure the baby is okay" Elena gave her a weak smile.

"okay, Ill do an ultrasound and see if there is any problems"

Elena and I both nodded and Dr. Fell turned on the ultrasound machine. Elena pulled her shirt up and Dr. Fell roamed around her stomach while looking at the screen. "your baby seems fine, but stress can cause some problems with your baby. I think your going to need to be put on bed rest for a while."

Elena groaned. "is that all? Im just going to stay in bed all day? What about school?!"

"Elena, Im sure barbie and witchy will bring your assignments home" I told her.

"yeah, but what if I don't understand what happened?" she asked sadly.

"perks of being around 146 years, I know everything" I smirked which cause an eye roll from Meredith and Elena.

"ok, so everything else looks good, and Ill have the secretary schedule another appointment for you guys later on in your pregnancy" Meredith smiled as she left the room.

I helped Elena off the examining table. Im glad that she has to stay in bed. That way, Sage won't be able to get to her. Hopefully Sage isn't roaming outside my house when we get home. If she is, Im shoving Elena inside, and then Ill rip Sage's heart out!

I took Elena to the car and held the door open for her. The ride home was silent. "Elena, your going to be fine. You just need to rest"

"I don't want to. Ill be bored all the time" she said folding her arms across her chest.

I sighed sadly. "Elena, unless you want something to happen to the baby, you have to do this"

"whatever! Ill stay in bed 24/7 while you and Ric go get drunk at the grille"

I flinched at her comment. Obviously Ric and I had gotten drunk at the grille before, but that never bothered her. "I wasn't planning on it. I was planning on spending tonight with you"

I saw her smile which made me happy. I can't stand to see her upset. It breaks my heart. I took her hand and intertwined our fingers.

"since I have to be held captive, can you at least make me my fried pickles?"

I chuckled "of course, what else do you want?"

"I don't know, I just want pickles"

I laughed at her statement. Im curious. Will she still love pickles after she has the baby? Knowing her, she would probably scold me for giving her pickles.

"don't fucking laugh at me" she says as she hits me.

"ouch, that hurt" I said sarcastically.

she rolled her eyes "cocky bastard"

"ooh, but babe, you love it" I said. All of a sudden she unbuckled her seat belt and attacks me. To risk an accident, I pull over to find out that she has ripped my shirt open and is biting my neck which caused me to moan. I push her gently back in her seat. "What the fuck was that?!" I said.

"I don't know, I was just really horny, but you ruined the moment" she put her seat belt on and turned her back towards me.

what the fuck is wrong with this girl? I sigh and start the car to go back home.

When we pull into the drive way and I help Elena out of the car.

"well, well, well, it seems you really have lost your ways."

I looked up to see Sage leaning up against the wall by the door. Elena gasps and clings to me as I gently push her behind me.

"So, I see you fancy my suppose to be dinner" Sage says coming closer. "maybe I should, pick up where I left off...what was it...oh yes, I was about to rip your throat out" Sage says as she lunges for Elena.

I throw Sage backwards and slam her into a wall "Elena! Get inside!"

"Damon, not without you"

"Elena, GO NOW!"

She starts crying but runs inside.

Elena's POV

I run inside but I leave the door open as I pull out my phone and call Stefan.

S "Elena?"

E "Stefan! Get to the boarding house now! Sage is here and she is fighting Damon"

S "Ok, Im on my way"

I hang up and turn back around to see Damon pinned up against a wall by his neck and Sage holding a stake directly above his heart. "I suggest you come out here, or Ill kill your precious boyfriend"

I start crying harder as Im about to step outside. "ELENA! No, stay there!" Damon says.

"Damon, shes going-"

"ELena, its okay" he interrupts.

"No, Damon, what about our-"

"Elena no!" Damon says giving me a 'don't say it' look.

I start sobbing. "please, Sage, Ill do anything. Ju-Just let him go"

"nope, sorry, say goodbye to your boyfriend"

"NOO!" I said shutting my eyes, too afraid too watch. All of a sudden I hear scrambling outside. I open my eyes to see no one there. I start to go outside when I see someone appear in front of me. I scream trying to run further inside but they grab me.

"Elena! Its okay!" I turn around to see Damon standing there. I pull him inside and hug him. He pulls away "hold on, I have to get Stefan. Hes still fighting Sage, stay here"

He lets go of me and runs out of my sight. I start shaking, praying that Stefan and Damon are okay. I head back in the living room and start pacing until I hear the door shut. I look up to see both Damon and Stefan. Stefan covered in blood.

"oh my god!" I said running towards them. I run into Damon's arms, but look at Stefan. "are you okay?"

"yeah...Im...fine. I just need a blood bag" he said starting to walk away. As he says blood bag, I remember the bodies in mystic falls. The ones torn apart. "wait! Stefan. Did you rip those people apart?"

"What people?"

"on the news, I heard animal attacks, people being ripped apart"

"No, Elena. It wasn't me. A full moon came and went, maybe it was a werewolf" he says walking away.

I nod remembering that werewolves tend to come to Mystic Falls just as much as vampires do. I shake the thought out of my head and turn back to Damon hugging him. He rubs circles on my back "sh, Its okay, were okay"

I pull back "did you kill her? Sage?"

"No, she staked Stefan in the stomach and sped off" I nodded and kissed him. He pulled away after a few seconds "okay, go to bed, Ill make you your fried pickles okay?"

I nod and kiss him as I walk up the stairs to Damon's room. I got in bed and started worrying. Why did all of this have to happen when Im finally beginning to start a family?
