Elena's POV

It's been 6 weeks since I started therapy, at the moment no one knew, not even Caroline. Camille knew, but she's not going to tell anyone. Damon hadn't mentioned anything about my weight which I was glad. They've put me in a program…weeks 1-6 are dealing with helping yourself through your problems. Week 7-10 is to talk to your family and significant others. Telling them, and allowing them to help you and you them.

"Hey baby." Damon's sweet voice rang as he answered my call "Everything okay?"

"Actually, can you take the afternoon off?" I hesitantly asked him

"Is Cami okay?" he gasped

"Yes, Cami is fine. I've asked Caroline and Stefan to watch her, if you can get off." I told him feeling my anxiety level rise

"Yeah, I'll close the office early. No worries, want me to meet you at the house?"

"Yeah that's fine." I sighed

**5 Hours Later**

I drove silently to the office. Dr. Naomi James greeted us; I was her last session of the day. "What are we doing here Elena?"

"Are you ready Elena?" Naomi asked me

"Damon…for the past 6 weeks I've been coming here 3 times a week…I want to marry you but we can't have any secrets…I'm suffering from PTSD. I've been unable to sleep for months causing weight loss." I took a deep breath "I've been afraid to tell anyone because often people don't want to deal with the baggage of another person…Part of the program I'm in is telling your loved ones. I love you and our family and just need you to understand." Tears fell from the corners of my eyes

"Elena…" Damon looked so hurt "I…I wish you would've told me sooner, I could've helped you."

"I'm so sorry Damon…I just…You treat me better than anyone I've ever known and I was afraid to lose this…us. I love you so much and I just didn't want you to have to deal with this kind of baggage, you deserve better."

"Elena…I want to marry you, every part of you. The good the bad, the ugly, all of it. I love the Elena sitting here in front of me. I don't need anything but you." Damon leaned forward and pecked my lips gently.

"I love you Damon." I wrapped my shaking arms around his neck

We finished the hour session and headed home. "Wait…Damon where are we going?" I asked as we passed the turn to our house

"I called Stef and Care; they can watch Cami for the night." He told me taking my hand in his free hand

"That doesn't explain where we are going…"

We pulled into the parking lot leading to the falls. We silently hiked up the hills. "You know…" I started as we reached the clearing…it was a full moon tonight "When you first brought me here, this is where I thought you'd propose if we ever got that far."

"I just felt it that night. I couldn't have planned anything better." Damon took my hand

"Last one in the water has to cook breakfast!" I shrieked taking off stripping down to my undergarments as I ran.

Just before I could jump in the water I felt his strong arms around my waist pulling me into the water. We came up gasping for air as we laughed. He pulled me in close and kissed me. "I can't wait to marry you Elena." He whispered

Damon had been so amazing to me. We've been together 7 months, and we hadn't slept together. Damon never pressured me, or even asks me for anything more than what we have now. It was part of the reason I love him so much.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Damon inquired holding me close

"You." I whispered our foreheads touching

"Elena, we should go." Damon sighed

Caroline's POV

"Stefan!" I screamed as I leaned over Cami's crib. I picked her up to hear her shallow breathing.
"Caroline? What's wrong?"

"SHE'S TURNING BLUE!" I cried out. "Call for help!" I was frantic. Damon couldn't lose two daughters…it may kill him.

The sirens grew closer as I did what the 9-1-1 operator instructed me to. The paramedics rushed in taking Cami from me. "Go with her Stefan. I'll be right behind you." I told my boyfriend

The ambulanced raced away as Damon's car pulled in the driveway. "What's going on?" he shouted "Where's Camille?"

"Damon, calm down we don't know anything yet." Elena told him running up to me

"We have to go. NOW. I went to check on Cami and she was blue." I told him getting in the car

We rushed to the hospital Damon not speaking a word. Elena tried to take Damon's hand but he jerked it away causing Elena to turn away crying. She was just as scared as him. We were all scared.

We parked and Damon ran inside before we were even out of the car. "Elena…are you okay?" I asked seeing my friend not make a move to get out of the car

She wiped her tears and spoke, "Yeah I'm fine…Uh, let's go find Cami."

"I just went to check on her…I don't know what happened." I began to cry allowing myself to stop and feel for the first time since finding the little girl.

"It's not your fault, you found her before…Let's just hope it was in time." Elena took my hand as we walked in to the ER.

Neither of us were family, (Yet) so they wouldn't even tell us where they were located, we decided on sitting in the waiting room until Stefan found us. "Girls, why are you down here?" Stefan asked us

"They wouldn't tell us where you were and Damon took off before we could ask." I cried "How's Cami?"

"You saved her life Caroline. The doctor said that if you had found her just 30 seconds later she wouldn't be here."

"Thank goodness she's okay." I sobbed into Stefan's arms "Where's Damon?"

"He's in with Cami. I'll take you." Stefan led us up to the pediatric ward

"Damon." Elena whispered coming into Cami's room

"Get out." He growled "If I had just stayed home this wouldn't have happened." Elena stepped back running into Stefan and me

"I SAID GET OUT!" he shouted at Elena

Elena took off running down the hallway towards the exit.

Elena's POV
I ran out into the parking lot and headed towards a waiting cab. "Elena!" I turned hoping it was Damon, but it was only Stefan

"No." I cried out "Don't defend him." Stefan kept running towards me but I hopped in the cab and told him where to take me.

We pulled up to the Mystic Grill and I got out paying the cabbie and walked to the park. The spot where we promised forever. The thunder began to rumble and lighting lit the sky. I sat out in the middle of the sidewalk and let the tears come. The rain mixed with my salty tears. I looked at the beautiful ring on my finger…he'd never spoke to me like that…Tyler…Tyler always yelled at me. I was trapped all over again.

The rain was getting harder now, but I didn't make a move. I belonged right here in the pouring rain. Hoping for something about the night to make sense. I was just as worried about Cami as Damon was. Wasn't he the one who said I was her mother? I held her at night when she was sick. I took care of her; I slept by her side night after night. I love her. She was going to be my daughter.

A/N: I'm sorry, but every couple has their moments. Review let me know what you think.
