"Oh my god."

"I know."

"Oh my god."

"I know."

"Ohmigod!"

"I know I know!"

Elena falls back on Caroline's bed, frustration seeping from every pore in her body.

It's the day after Elena last doctor's appointment and the three of them- Bonnie, Elena and Caroline- are all in Caroline's room, sitting on her bed. Caroline's house has turned into some what of a safe house for them. Sheriff Forbes is never home so they don't have to watch what they say, in fear of being overheard.

"I just… oh my god!" Caroline squeaks, blue eyes wide.

Elena swears to God, if Caroline says that one more time she's going to freak out.

"You already said that," Bonnie notes, shooting Elena a sympathetic look.

Caroline runs a hand through her blonde curls. "I know, I know," she says, sounding like Elena now. "But I just don't know what else to say! I mean, Damon confessing his love for you and then compelling you! Its just so..."

"Insane?" Elena asks.

"Unrealistic?" Bonnie asks, helping Elena out.

"Impossible?" Elena asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Unbelievable?" Bonnie asks.

Caroline rolls her eyes at them and their negativity.

She pursues her lips but, with a fierce certainty, says, "No, I was going to say romantic."

Both Elena and Bonnie gape at her. All the words they had said fit perfectly in Elena's opinion, but romantic? She doesn't think romantic quite fits the situation.

"Romantic?" Bonnie asks, giving Caroline a "you have lost it" look, one that Elena is also currently wearing.

"Yes," Caroline says, raising her chin in the air. "Romantic."

"How?" Bonnie asks.

Elena sits up and looks at Caroline, curious of her answer.

"Well," Caroline says, her blonde eyebrows squishing together. "For one, he came to your house to confess his love for you. But he told you how he doesn't deserve you and Stefan does, right?"

Elena nods, her mind drifting back to the dream until Caroline's voice brings her back into the room.

"If Damon Salvatore more or less says he's not good enough for you and won't let you remember because he thinks you deserve better, than obviously that means something. Damon loves you so much that he let you be with Stefan. He decided not to interfere anymore."

Elena thinks that over. In a way, Caroline is right. If this really happened, then Damon did tell her that he wasn't good enough for her and he did let her go. He let her be with his brother. Elena has to admit, it was one of the most unselfish things Damon had ever done. For the last year, Damon has tucked his own feelings for her away so she and Stefan could be happy together.

"But what if this dream didn't happen and is just that- a dream?" Elena asks.

"But what if its not?" Bonnie asks, surprising Elena.

Caroline and Elena both gape at her.

"What?" Bonnie asks, sheepishly. She sighs. "Look, we all know that Damon is not my favorite person in the least, but Elena, come on. None of that was just a dream."

"But how do you know?"

"I don't," Bonnie says. "I can't say for sure, concrete that it is but look at the last year. Damon hasn't tried one thing. He didn't try to mess you and Stefan up. And look at the last two months. He's been with you every step of the way through the whole pregnancy. Why in the world would he do that?"

Elena knows Bonnie is right. She wishes she wasn't, but she is. She can try and convince herself Damon has been there for her because its his brother's child and Elena is his brother's ex girlfriend. She can convince herself its because he had rescued her so many times in the small time she'd known him or that he suddenly feels like being a good guy. Hell, if she tries hard enough, she can convince herself its because she looks like Katherine, but she knows the truth.

Damon loves her.

"So what next?" Bonnie asks.

For a moment Elena feels an overwhelming since of déjà vu. Two months ago Bonnie asked the very same thing when she found out she was pregnant. Two months later, the answer remains the same, even if the situation is very different.

"I'm going to go talk to Damon."
