Lexi's P.O.V
I've never ever in my years or entire life seen Stefan so happy. It's shocking to think that one small accident can put a massive smile on his face. And of course Elena is glowing beautifully with her olive colored skin. They both shine together, as if they were meant to be. Honestly it's rare what kind of love they both share with each other, it's one that will never die even if they do decide not to be together which would be a mistake if they did.
I appear back to the reality of hunting with him. It's shocking to think that after my lonely years of feeling miserable, as a punishment from God for cheating death…that I'd be with Lee.
What we have is not as near close enough to what Stefan and Elena have, but it's good and real enough for me. I love Lee and that's all there is to it.
Whilst watching him struggle to find the animal's vein I giggle. He's such a clown but he's funny. He starts to growl with the rabbit's throat is deep in his mouth when he can't find the vein that he's looking for.
I begin to walk over to him where he is kneeling a few feet away from me. "Let me help you with that" I say holding out my hand.
He reluctantly passes it over. I know how he feels, exactly. It's the same way I felt when I decided to get Stefan on his diet and I joined him so we could experience it together, getting through it.
"Hand it over, I bet you I could do it" He says to me staring with his dark green eyes. The shade that could match the forest that we're standing in now.
"Fine…I'd like to see you try" I reply giving Stefan a challenging face. He lift his eyebrows and grabs the poor animal that we creatures have caught. It's fur is grey and it's eyes full with fright. I can hear it's little heart beating 500 beats per minute as I pass it over to the handsome tall man in front of me.
I can compare to how frightened it is but nothing can compare to the burning sensation in my throat that makes me feel like I'm incinerating from the insides outwards. I'd want more than an"Hand it over, I bet you I could do it" He says to me staring with his dark green eyes. The shade that could match the forest that we're standing in now.
"Fine…I'd like to see you try" I reply giving Stefan a challenging face. He lift his eyebrows and grabs the poor animal that we creatures have caught. It's fur is grey and it's eyes full with fright. I can hear it's little heart beating 500 beats per minute as I pass it over to the handsome tall man in front of me.
I can compare to how frightened it is but nothing can compare to the burning sensation in my throat that makes me feel like I'm incinerating from the insides outwards. I'd want more than anything for this rabbit to live but I can't die, not now. Not when I've finally found a man worth knowing.
His stunning blonde hair shines in the moon light as the wispy bits hang on the front and over his forehead. Stefan struggles to find the vein as well. It frustrates us that it feels impossible to gain anything to stop the thirst.
He growls and then in anger he speeds off to go find what he thinks is good blood, which it is but I still don't entirely agree with the fact that hurting innocent and honest people for our benefits is a positive matter.
I go after him speeding as fast as I can and trace his smell down. He's gone into the city and I believe he's going to make a big show of himself.
Just after seconds of finding his first victim I can see that he's on a rampage until I can hear his sobbing along with the painful drinking. I can smell the sweet scent that is of a human. It was beautiful and the best my scent my nose has ever brushed upon.
I turn the corner and can see a dark figure crouched over on a cold concrete step that has a scarlet liquid running down the rest of the sharp steps. Stefan is sorry drinking. He's got a person on his laps and cries into their throat as well as drinking from them and feeling bad…his humanity is being revived to the surface, which is a good sign it's just not a good way of resurfacing.
"Stefan" I say not in question and not in doubt. I must get his attention before he drains this person clear of their blood.
He growls back, he's not enjoying the drink at all and it doesn't seem to be quenching his blood thirst.
"Go away Alexia, I don't want to talk to you" He replies, he never uses my full name, never. It must really upset him to be a monster of the dark, a creature of the night.
"Stefan we CAN get through this, I just need you to stick with me, throughout our findings. We can do it Stefan, you can do it" I fade off into the background knowing that he's never had any help before and once he hear me, he'd snap my neck. But I'm older which means I'm stronger then he will ever be.
He doesn't reply to me, he's still crying though. I walk over some more and find the shock horror that he's not drinking from an adult. He's drinking from…a teenage boy…
I immediately step into is fest and find the boy barely being able to keep his eyes open. I rip the boy away from Stefan making sure to unhook his new teeth out of the veins, just in case it rips the neck open and we'll only have 8 minutes to get the hospital.
As a result of me taking away his walking blood bag he rapidly holds me up against the wall by my neck. I start to gag and feel strangled, unable to breathe.
"Stef…Sto…"I try to get out as much as I can and look into his bloodshot eyes that want what they see. He wants me dead but I'll never give up.
Once he realizes he's hurting me and I'm turning blue he than lets go and looks at me with even more tears in his eyes and they are filled with emotion.
"I'm sorry Lexi, I didn't mean too…It's just…I'm sick of this lonely life of having to live in misery. And then struggling to stay alive because I have only one friend and hope that I will one day get to see my brother again" He explains, he's now crying and wailing because he hates the life he's being forced to live all the time.
"Stefan, it's fine, I'll always be here for you, you need to know that. I will never turn my back on you no matter what or how deadly the situation is. I'll be here" I explain as he walks back over and begins to cry into my shoulder that is now soaking wet with tears that pour from his eyes.
He's angry and upset and it's the worst I've ever seen anyone.
I look at Lee struggling yet again even after I opened up the vein.
"You're useless" I giggle at him as he looks up at me standing over him tall. He gives me a strong smile and something pounces inside of me.
"Well so are you if I may say so myself" He winks at me and stands up, bringing me and tucking me into his arms, deep and then standing tall and leaning into my face so that he can kiss me. I peck him quickly and speed off into the distance. "Catch me if you can, Lover boy" I shout back giving him a wink that I know would be possible to see from where he stands.
Stefan's P.O.V
She's glowing again and it's impossible not to smile when she does. It's bright and I can't avoid not looking at my pregnant girlfriend who is sitting across the room reading a fashion magazine. I stare up at her out of the corner of my eye, I was reading the newspaper but she just lights up. Her stomach has grown big time and at any moment she looks like she's about to burst. Surely a supernatural pregnancy can take more than a day?
She spies me staring at her and looks up at me with confusion in her deep brown eyes.
"Oh nothing" I wink. She stares at me for a few seconds, smiling. She gets up but struggles to walk over, she tumbles a bit and I can tell that the result won't be a stand up straight it will be a fall and break. I immediately put down my newspaper and speed over to her as she grabs a hold of her back.
She's slow to realize that I'm helping her but she looks up at me and stares into my green eyes that must be filled with wonder as I stare into her deep content brown ones that just fill me with pure joy.
She didn't stop eating today and Lexi and I made sure she only ate human food otherwise if she drank any blood the baby would turn inside of her and would be able to hear and smell even see the blood around it and possibly drink Elena from where it's sat.
I think of what the day is 22nd of August and it's her birthday. I didn't know what to get her so I thought of progressing our life. Lexi had handed me something earlier today when Elena had gone for an afternoon nap. It would solve two problems and make Elena even happier than she already is.
It was starting to get dark outside and the sun had disappeared from the sky and was now replaced with my favorite planet. Perfect.
"Come I want to show you something" I whispered into her ear. Her face changed and I know that it will change even more later.
"Don't know if you've noticed Stefan but I'm finding it impossible to walk with this thing hanging off of me" She replied in a sarcastic tone that made me chuckle.
"Fine then" I said, bending my knees and picking her up, surprisingly she hardly weighed a thing in my eyes even though she was carrying herself and a rapid baby.
She's still shocked at how I can even pick her up with something so large that's growing inside of her. But it's wonderful; I love the fact that I can carry my two favorite people in the world already.
I speed down the stairs and out the front door where we are met with Lexi and Lee.
"Woah, hello" Lexi says not expecting us to be at the door and being met with a rather large Elena.
"Hey!" Elena giggles sticking out her tongue.
"You seem to be uh…progressing" Lexi says, I chuckle and wink indicating that I'm going to go and take Elena.
"I was just going to go and take Elena, to show her something" I say, indicating as if it wasn't clear enough. Lexi nods in return understanding. We pass each other and as I walk Lexi gently leans her hand into my back and Lee pats my left shoulder as a sign of good luck and well done.
After 5 minutes of running in the same direction on flat ground through the forest with a cute path we get to a house slightly smaller than Lexi's. It's half made up of glass and the outside walls were painted white…also like Lexi's.
"Hey that's a cute big house" Elena giggles, her hands still linked around my neck. Once she realizes we're headed towards it and not just passing by Elena gives me a serious look.
"What are you doing Stefan?" She asks me, but I don't make a sound and just give her a gleeful look, looking in her direction and not bothering with answering.
She stays silent as we enter the house that feels so warm against my skin. Elena had changed into a more fitting top that I didn't mind of seeing as she wanted a shower after trying to walk like a baby taking its first steps.
I take her all the way through and upstairs to a clean and neat room that had a double bed in the massive space that would be where Elena and I would slept tonight…if it goes well.
The bed faces a whole wall that is made of glass, just like my attic in Mystic Falls. I stand her up as she gains her balance in her burgundy loungers and long sleeve white top that fitted nicely on her skin.
She looks out the glass and can see the amazing view that is the Canadian mountains that were colored grey and held snow. The clouds just sat on top of the mountains covering them like a blanket. I wanted to show Elena what we would be living in from now on.
"Elena I know that Mystic Falls s your home and you have Jeremy there and you want to tell Bonnie and Caroline that you are doing just fine, but if you want to, we can live here. It's next to a good friend and it's private and peaceful, the baby will love it I promise, however if you want her to go to Mystic Falls and go to school then we can go back and live at The Boarding House it's no trouble but I honestly wouldn't mind home schooling her, I've been to school countless times an…" I'm cut off by Elena's voice. Her face seems so shocked but happy.
"Stefan...I'd be happy too" She said with a massive smile on her face as she tries to jump up and hug me but fails giggling. I whisper a thank you into her ear as she takes a hold of my neck again and kisses it, but is short lived when she pulls away and looks at me with confusion.
"What? Is there a problem?" I politely ask worrying if she's suddenly having second thoughts.
"You think that the…that the baby will be…a her?" She asks me spotting my words out of the massive speech that I used to win her over. Of course the baby feels like a her. It's calm and gentle just like her mother and I want it to be a her. To have MY girls at My side.
I nod, smiling. I'm so happy to have Elena and that we've got this far with each other. I know we haven't had any serious memories together but I know what I want them to be.
"Stefan!" Elena squeals slightly hurting my ears as she does.
I pull away knowing that I'm about to make another jump into life with what I'm about to do.
"There's something else" I say as she stand confused putting her hands and resting them on her stomach waiting patiently.
"What is it Stefan?" She asks me now very confused. For the first time I'm scared, scared of doing this. Scared she might say something to stop me.
"You can't say anything ok?" I ask. Slowly getting down on one knee as she now lifts her hands up and put them over her mouth shaking her head in disbelief. I can see the tears welling up in her eyes.
Elena's P.O.V
I could not be happier in my life right now. I have a growing child inside of me. I'm coping well with my thirst. I have a good friend and I have the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for, who is currently sitting on one knee as my hands are shaking and hovering at my gawping mouth.
He takes his left hand and digs into his lounger's pockets suddenly shaky and I know he's nervous as his breathing staggers.
"Elena Petrova Gilbert" He begins pulling out a black silky box just small enough in his hand. He opens it up and shows me a stunning ring that presents a simple silver band with a beautiful blue diamond that sits on top in the middle of clear diamonds that sit on either side of it. My eyes are starting to blur as the tears inside of my eyes start to pour one by one down my face. Stefan lets out a nervous laugh and whispers "I can't believe I'm doing this". I smile at his comment.
"Elena I know that we haven't been dating very long and I know that it's not traditional to do this, this early but we have had an amazing experience so far and I believe that you and I belong together. It's no lie that I love you with all my heart and that I wouldn't want to give it to anyone else. So as I present you with this ring which by the way has the stone that will protect you from the daylight in it. Will you do me the extraordinary and stunning honor of becoming Mrs. Elena Salvatore?"
I'm shocked, but a good shock. Stefan could not have put it any other or better way. He has just proposed to me and I need to make a decision as I force myself to ramble inside my head. He takes my right hand and gently rests the box inside it.
I feel like I can't breathe as I stare at the most beautiful ring that I've ever seen and my heart jumps a million times over. I've kept Stefan waiting as my heart throbs for the most handsome man I've met. It was time to make a decision and make it now.
I taking a deep breathe and remove my left hand from my mouth and setting it under my right hand, holding the black box.
His voice is pale as he get's even more nervous and shifty in his place. His face straightens out and immediately changes once I open my mouth and voice my answer to the man sitting in front of me.
