AN: Uh.. yeah. LOL.
CHAPTER 14
'Whatever You Like'
"There, perfect." I smiled as Stefan dragged the box which had the crib parts in up the stairs. Damon was supposed to be helped us build it but he was 'busy', so it was just Stefan and I. He ripped the box open and the parts spilled out. "Wow..."
"Yeah," He scratched the back of his head, "this is going to take longer than I first thought." We knelt down and began rumaging through the pieces. Stefan found the instructions, "Great!" He threw the paper away.
"What?"
"They're in chinese." He bit his lip.
I looked at the pile in front of us, "It can't be that hard to build a crib, can it?" He gave me a look. "It's just a crib." I shrugged.
"A crib that has more than a million pieces." He joked, I laughed. "Come on, lets give it a go." He insisted. At first it was pretty easy, this piece went with that, and another fit inside another. No problems. Then as we ran out of pieces we starting making doubts. "Elena, do you happen to have another pole over there?"
"I don't think so, I'm kind of preoccupied in trying to work out how these two go together." I held up the two metal parts.
"My bad." He chuckled.
"You'd of thought they'd of had the decency to build it for us in advance." I commented as I gave up of the two metal parts.
"I think they'd be in the same situation as us." He laughed, but soon gritting his teeth as he fitted some pieces. "Mind you, they would of had Damon-" I raised an eyebrow at that, "You know what, scratch that." We both laughed.
After a while, it began to look like a crib. "See, who needs instructions?" I smiled.
"Yeah, we did good." He also smiled, we both stood up. He kissed me, but pulled away suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"Lets get married." He said, I chuckled.
"Um, we are." I held my hand up to show him the ring. He looked at me, "What, you mean right now?"
"Well not here and now, but soon." He said. "Think about it, in two and a half months we'll have Kyle, and then do you think we'll have anytime at all to plan a wedding?"
"Guess so, but how will we get everything done in such a short time?"
"We have Damon." He said simply. "And I'm pretty sure Caroline, Bonnie and Jenna wouldn't mind helping."
"Back up a minute, did you say Damon?" He nodded, "He wouldn't help with a crib, what makes you think he'll help with a wedding?"
"Damon's a sucker when it comes to bribery," We both laughed. "He'll give in easily."
"What are you going to bribe him with, tell him he can be best man or something?" I joked.
"That... and money, of course." He joked, kissing my cheeks.
...
After the crib was built and in its place, Stefan wanted to tell everyone about our wedding decision. I called round Bonnie, Matt, Caroline and Jenna. I told her to tell Jeremy, but if he didn't want to come then that was his decision. As we waited in the living room, Damon finally made an appearance.
"Hey Preggers." He grinned widely. "Oh come on Elena, I'm kidding." He said as I frowned. "Does having no sense of humour come with being pregnant?" He muttered, I immediately glared daggers at him.
"Have you forgotten about the food incident Damon?" His smile instantly disappeared as he shuddered. "That's what I thought."
Stefan was suddenly at my side, his arm around me. "Annoying Elena are we Damon?" He smiled, rubbing my stomach.
"No." He muttered.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, and everyone came in; Bonnie and Caroline called the couch much to Matt's disappointment. After they were settled, Stefan and I stood up. "So what's this announcement, I mean you're already pregnant and engaged." She chuckled, "And just to clarify so I don't embarrass myself again, it definately isn't twins?"
"No it's not twins." I smiled, she nodded and sat back. "Well, because we'll have Kyle in a few months, we won't have the time to plan a wedding afterwards, and even if we did it would take a few years."
"So, you're not getting married?" Bonnie asked, her bottom lip quivering as if she was a child.
"Oh we are," Stefan chuckled. Everyone looked confused. "We're getting married in a few weeks, hopefully anyway." Everyone's jaw dropped.
"A few weeks?" Jenna asked.
"Yes." I smiled.
"Is that... is that even possible?" Matt asked.
"Well, if you guys helped it would be." I said, "Would you help?"
Bonnie and Caroline stood up, "Of course!" They both exclaimed, both hugging me."We'd love to help." Bonnie grinned.
"I'm on dress duty." Caroline said quickly.
Bonnie whined, "Elena."
"You can both be on dress duty." Bonnie glared jokingly at Caroline.
I looked at Stefan, "Go bribe him." I mouthed to him. He grinned and nodded.
"Oh Damon..." He wandered into the kitchen.
Eeep! Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, I'll make it up to you in the next one. Now vote on my new poll, who should be maid of honour: Bonnie or Caroline?
Review?
