Hellooo again my lovelies! As promised, chapter 11 is now uploaded! Shall I upload another one? ;)
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the nighttime fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over, you're the start
You're my head and you're my heart
No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
No light No light/ Florence and The Machine
"You told him?" Damon asked Rose without taking his eyes off the road.
"Yes; he deserves to know, he is the father..." she replied, choking back tears that threatened to fall down her eyes; she wasn't going to break, not again.
"What are you planning to do?" Damon asked again, his voice distant and detached.
"I don't know really... He deserves to be a part of the baby's life... I can't take that away from him..." she finished in a small but steady voice, she knew where Damon was getting... Klaus didn't react like the happiest man alive, but he didn't kill her all the same. His reaction was neutral, she was happy for that. Even though they didn't have the time to discuss everything, she wasn't going to take the baby away from him, he didn't deserve that, she lost her parents, her childhood wasn't prefect; she was very grateful for her grandparents, but that never meant that she didn't miss her parents... She wanted to give her baby that.
"So you are keeping it?"
"Of course Damon!" Rose replied shocked, as if it was a silly question.
Damon though didn't say anything else. He couldn't believe her! Okay, he knew that she'd never give the baby away or have an abortion, which he would never approve, but come on! Klaus does NOT deserve to be a part of this! He is a monster! Not that he was better but, not long ago he kidnapped Elena! How dump could she possibly be?!
"Are you going to say something?" she asked in a small voice, afraid of the answer, but she wasn't one to back away.
"What do you want me to say Rose?! That you are a fool? That you have no fucking idea what you are doing?! He is the bad guy! He doesn't deserve shit! Let alone a child! And he most definitely doesn't deserve you, Rose! Don't be dump! He wants nothing to do with you! He only cares about the baby and how powerful it will be! He killed thousands of people! People you knew! What the hell's wrong with you!" Damon yelled at her, not once leaving the road from his eye sight.
"You are wrong! He had been nothing but sweet to me! When Elijah attacked me he saved me! He cares about me! And you are being an asshole! After all I've been through tonight, you come and top everything up! I thought you were better than this! And don't you dare tell me the fuck to calm down!" Rose yelled at him, and as the car stopped moving, indicating that they had arrived, she immediately opened the door, got out and slammed it so hard the window glass almost shuttered into a million pieces, just like her dead heart...
She was beyond furious now! How dare he tell her all those things!? What an asshole! She was exhausted, she was dizzy and she felt like crap and, on top of all, after one hell of night, here comes Damon being the icing of the cake! Marvelous! All thoughts though were vanished when she saw Stefan's tear-stained face.
She rushed towards him and hugged him tight. He returned the hug, as he needed it very much right now. He wrapped his strong arms around Rose, holding her tight; she held him tightly and could feel him calming down in a while in her embrace. This hug was much-needed for both.
"What happened?" Rose asked pulling back to look at him. "How's Elena?"
"The doctors said that she needed a blood transfusion asap, and that she was dehydrated, but other than that, she'll be fine... I was so worried Rose..." Stefan whispered the last part, as fresh tears rolled down his face. "I thought I lost her..." he said sobbing a little more.
"I know sweetie, everything's gonna be just fine..." she said hugging him back, trying to comfort him; she knew what it felt like waiting for a loved one in the hospital, and how worried he could be, even though she was much more younger when she experienced it...
Damon was standing there listening to their conversation, as he was completely left out of it. So he decided to go and see Meredith, to ask her if they could see Elena tonight.
"What happened to you?" Stefan asked referring to Rose's tear-stained face and red, puffy eyes.
She took a long breath and started to explain. When she was getting to the part where Damon yelled at her, she looked around for him, only to notice he left. She thought he went to find a doctor to ask about Elena's situation. She continued, and had to stop for a few times, to choke back tears that overwhelmed her. Everything was too much for her to handle.
When she finished Stefan remained silent. She didn't want a repeat of what happened in the car, so she got up and began to walk, tears streaming down her cheeks, in a steady flow. She had to hold onto something or lean on the wall, since she began to feel very dizzy and her vision wasn't helping her at all. She was dizzy before today, but now it was something different; it was far more difficult to walk and see. Suddenly, the room started to spin around her and black dots blocked her already blurry vision. Stefan noticed her wobbling and got up, but before he knew it, Rose collapsed.
Stefan caught her immediately and started shaking her by the shoulders to wake her up; he now fell to the floor with her in his arms, getting more and more frantic as the seconds ticked by and Rose not responding...
"Rosee! Wake up! Come on!" no matter how hard he was shaking her, she wasn't responding. The color was drained from her face. Her head fell backwards and the rest of her body went completely numb and limp.
"What's wrong?!" Damon said appearing almost out of nowhere, at Stefan's screams of despair and got to his knees as well. Man! That girl sure knew how to bring boys to her knees!
"We were talking and then she got up...an- and...then... She just dropped!" Stefan exclaimed looking up at Damon, fresh tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Get a doctor! Now!" Stefan demanded, his voice ringing in the hallways.
He nodded and immediately flashed in vampire speed, not caring if anyone saw him, and found Meredith right were he left her before.
"What now Damon?" she asked getting a bit irritated; yes, the guy was hot, but some times, he was just a pain in the ass! -a hot pain in the ass, but still!
"Come with me! It's an emergency!" he said grabbing her wrist and literary dragging her along with him.
"What happened?" she asked when she found Stefan on the floor, with a very pale Rose in his arms.
"Nurse! We need a bed! Now!" Meredith told a passing by nurse, whom a while later appeared with a bed.
"Put her in the bed." the nurse instructed Stefan. He only nodded in response, unable to get any words out.
"Call... Kla-us..." Rose croaked in a weak voice, stirring a little when Stefan placed her on the bed.
"Sure. Everything's gonna be fine!" Stefan said tracing a finger across her cheek and smiling down at her, giving her a small squeeze to reassure her, even though he, himself didn't know... She smiled weakly back in response, not once opening her eyes.
"I don't know what could be wrong. I am going to examine her and then I'll come back and tell you." Meredith said taking off with Rose, not waiting for their response, which were only brief nods.
"It's all your fault you bastard!" Stefan said raging towards Damon, his green eyes blazing. "She went through hell and back tonight and you had to yell at her! She wasn't feeling well anyway and she risked her life tonight and we almost lost her already! Now what?!" Stefan yelled at Damon. He could see how much guilt Damon felt but he didn't care; as did him, when he yelled at Rose.
"What are you doing?" Damon asked suspiciously as Stefan got out his phone and dialed Elena's number.
"Calling Klaus." he replied not looking up and putting the phone to his ear.
"What?! Why?"
"She asked me to. And don't you dare say anything or I swear to God, I'll reap your tongue out and shove it in your ass!" Stefan declared, and Damon didn't say a thing.
Even though Stefan, did not trust Klaus, not after what happened with Elena, he had to call him; Rose asked him to and he was the father of their child, growing inside of Rose. Moreover, he saw how outraged Klaus was when Elijah pinned Rose and tried to stake her. If it hadn't been for him, for all he knew, Rose could be dead right now! He saw how delighted he was when she opened her eyes and how distraught he was when she found out who he really was. The conclusion is, Klaus really does love Rose and he could risk everything and anything for her sake. So that's why he was now calling him. He thought that Klaus would still have Elena's phone with him, and he was correct when he picked up the phone.
"What's wrong Stefan?" Klaus asked, no emotion leaking from his voice.
"It's Rose." he said sadly.
"What happened Salvatore?!" Klaus demanded, his tone immediately changed, full of concern and rage.
"Just come here, we are at the hospital."
"Be there in a blink." Klaus said ending the line. What the hell happened? Was it the baby? Was she okay? Did the events that occurred before had anything to do with it? He sped off to the hospital and found Stefan and Damon waiting in the emergency wing.
"What's wrong?" Klaus demanded glaring at Stefan.
He sighed, "She fainted and Meredith, the doctor who knows about vampires, is checking on her now."
"Why did this happen?" Klaus demanded. After a long, dreadful month, he finally got to see her, and now something was wrong! Perfect!
"She wasn't feeling well today, she told me she was feeling fuzzy and then there's what happened earlier..." Stefan didn't manage to finish as he was cut off by Klaus.
"And you let her come?! Even though you knew she was pregnant?! And not well?!" Klaus exclaimed, his voice only getting louder and louder, not really caring if anyone was hearing.
"I'm sorry! Okay! But your brother was the one who staked her and then pinned her on a tree! With his fingers choking her!" Stefan countered feeling irritated. Though he knew that Klaus was most probably right, he wouldn't give him the satisfaction of saying it out loud.
"My brother didn't know she was pregnant!" Klaus counter-argumented. Even though Stefan had a point and he could see it, he still stood his ground! He knew that Rose shouldn't be doing all this in her condition.
"Would you mind shutting up?!" Damon yelled at them, earning both their attention. "We don't know what's wrong, but this is certainly NOT helping! So would you mind shutting the hell up!"
Both Stefan and Klaus looked down, embarrassed of what they had done. Stefan took a seat, where he was sitting before, burying his face in his hands, while Klaus leaned on the opposite wall, hands in his pockets and his eyes not moving an inch above the ground, a look of pure fear and distraught written across his beautiful features, and Damon leaned on the other wall, crossing his arms over his chest. All three of them though, straining their hearing in the hope of hearing something that would somehow make the situation better. Things were pretty awkward, and time was pacing by very slowly for anybody's liking, until Meredith arrived and the three of them shot up from their positions and asked her what happened, frantic for the answer.
She took a long sigh and started, "Her blood pressure was pretty low and she had little blood in her system, that was the only thing that kept her going for that long, without collapsing... If she hadn't had that blood in her system..." Meredith didn't want to finish her sentence, they all understood it without her finishing off. Stefan and Damon looked at Klaus, with grateful glances.
"We needed to transfuse quite a lot of blood in her system. We are waiting for it to kick in and see how she will respond." Klaus looked sceptical, the doctor hadn't mentioned anything about the baby...
"Is the baby alright though?" Klaus asked in a small voice, for the first time, letting his feelings get the best of him.
"The baby seems to be fine." Meredith smiled sympathetically at him. "Though I am keeping her in for the night for observation." they only nodded. "We also have to do some tests as well, to see how far along she is, the due date, things she'll have to watch out. I was going to call her tomorrow morning, to drop by and do them, but since she's already here..." Meredith finished and put on a sympathetic smile for them. She could see how long they have waited to hear some good news.
"Can we see her?" Stefan was the one to ask, as the others remained silent.
"I believe only the father should be the one to see her for tonight, as I told you before, she isn't awake yet and neither strong enough." Meredith said looking at Klaus. She assumed he was the father since he was the one asking for the baby.
"Where is her room?" Klaus asked her quietly.
"End of the hallway to the left. I didn't transfer her from the emergencies, just in case. The rest of you I believe would be able to see her tomorrow." she added, and Stefan smiled back at her where Damon just nodded.
"Can we see Elena?" Stefan asked changing the subject, as Klaus moved towards Rose's room trying to keep a normal pace, still looking distraught; he refused to let his guard down until he saw her himself; until he confirmed that she was indeed okay.
"I think yes. She will be at the room opposite from Rose's. Goodnight boys." Meredith replied and waved a hand at them as she turned on her heel and left.
"Why didn't you tell Klaus?" Damon asked in a small voice, turning to look at Stefan, referring to him yelling at Rose. He felt so much guilt, he was one of the reasons she was in the hospital right now...
"As much of an asshole you are, I don't want you dead..." Stefan said turning and started walking towards Elena's room.
"Thanks Stef." Damon said quietly looking down.
Stefan only smiled, not looking back at his brother and nodded to acknowledge what Damon had said to him...
"Are you coming or what?" Stefan asked raising an eyebrow and turning to look at his older brother.
"Sure." Damon replied, catching up with his brother.
