Chapter Fourteen:

Dean wasn't surprised when Damon announced that Ruby was pregnant because the elder Winchester brother had already known. After all, he had been the one to purchase the various tests for Ruby and he had also been the one that had been kicked out of the room by the pregnant blonde once they both realized that she was indeed pregnant. He couldn't help eying the older Salvatore brother suspiciously as he had expected Damon to perhaps be a bit more upset over the news that Ruby was pregnant. It was almost as if there were something that Damon wasn't saying.

Damon could feel Dean's eyes burning a hole into him and smirked softly before turning to face the elder Winchester brother, "I slept with Ruby."

Dean, who was already standing up, walked over to Damon grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and slammed the vampire into a nearby wall, "What the hell are you talking about?"

The blue eyed vampire grimaced before looking right into Dean's eyes, "While you and Sam were off hunting ghouls and goblins, I pissed Ruby off and in turn, the girl simply couldn't keep her hands off me."

He made the mistake of letting go of Damon and as he threw a punch in the direction of the vampire's face, the vampire in question used his vampiric speed to move out of the way which resulted in Dean's fist colliding with the wall. Blood trickled along Dean's fist and the only thing that kept Damon from attacking him aside from Ruby of course was the fact that he was well aware that Dean's blood was laced with vervain courtesy of Stefan. His features softened as he sensed her appearance and turned only to be on the receiving end of a rather harsh glare from the pregnant blonde. She went to her fiancé's side and tried to lead him to another room so that she could tend to his fist. Dean refused though and gave her a look which made everything all too clear to Ruby.

"Dean, I'm sorry. It didn't mean anything, okay? It's not going to happen again." She assured him letting his hands rest on her still flat stomach.

He was still upset, but having his hands on her stomach visibly calmed him, "It may not of meant something to you, Ruby, but it obviously meant something to him."

As if on cue, Damon vanished and Ruby was left speechless. She snapped out of it after a few moments and excused herself before heading back upstairs. She didn't see Damon in his room so she snatched the keys to his car before heading back downstairs. Ruby informed Sam and Stefan where she was headed though simply only told Dean that she was going out as she needed some time away from both him and Damon. Walking outside, Ruby got into Damon's car and drove over to Elena's house. The brunette in question had left to see Stefan by the time that Ruby had arrived so the troubled blonde was a little surprised when Jenna opened the front door instead. The auburn haired beauty let her in and soon enough the two of them were sitting down at the table with bowls of ice cream.

Jenna looked at Ruby and smiled sympathetically at her, "Okay I can tell that you have something on your mind so what is it? Feel free to vent, Ruby, I'm a good listener."

"You know how the wedding dress didn't fit me right at the fitting? It's because I'm pregnant. Everything is just so crazy right now and my feelings are all over the damn place. I just don't know what to do." She admitted and sighed softly as she slid a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

She wasn't surprised by the pregnancy announcement and simply smiled again, "Well congratulations on the baby. If you need anything, just let me know. As far as these feelings of yours go, them being all over the place wouldn't happen to have anything to do with a certain blue eyed Salvatore would it?"

"Yes, but it's more than that, Jenna. It's complicated at best. I've known the Salvatores my whole life. I dated Damon and we were even engaged once. He knows me better than anyone and we've been on this friends with benefits kick for years now. Dean, well, we hated each other at first. Well, more like he hated me. I somehow became the big sister that his little brother Sam never had. I was like the thorn in Dean's side, you know, and then all the tension finally exploded between us in the back of his car one fateful night. I always kept the Winchesters and the Salvatores in the dark about each other. It was Damon that ruined that when he followed me to a bar one night and inadvertently found me talking to the Winchesters. Dean and Damon pretty much hated each other since. Sam and Stefan are like the little pain in the ass brothers that I never had. Dean, I know he loves me and I'm having his baby. At the same time though, he and I both know that Damon loves me too. I just don't know what to do. I'm torn and I hate it." Ruby vented practically all in one breath and looked at Jenna.

Jenna nodded her head letting her mind process all of that information and looked at the blonde, "You were right. That is complicated. Look, you can't let all of that stress you out especially now that you are carrying a baby. From what I understand, no matter what happens, you will always have Sam and Stefan in your life which is good. Now you just have to figure out where your heart truly lies. Is it with Dean or is it with Damon? So tell me. Why did you say yes when Damon proposed to you?"

"Because I loved him. He wasn't always like the way he is now. The Damon I fell in love with was sweet, caring, romantic, adored his little brother, and had a way of expressing just how he felt about a person with one look. I mean, even when he became the Damon that he is now, I still love him because deep down he is still Damon. Hell, I've changed too. I wasn't always this bitchy. I was actually a good girl once. Go figure." She remarked and shrugged her shoulders with a soft smile.

She smiled eating a spoonful of ice cream and then pointed the spoon at Ruby, "Alright then, So why did you say yes when Dean proposed to you?"

"Because I loved him. I never meant to fall for him, but I did. He has this tough exterior, but he's a good guy at heart. Family is everything to him. I mean, what girl wouldn't want a guy like him? Now I'm having his baby and he's mad because I slept with Damon. Oh, I didn't mention that did I? Damon ticked me off and we ended up in his bed. Ugh, I swear, they both drive me crazy!" Ruby huffed and ate some more of her ice cream unaware that Damon was listening in to their conversation.

He smirked to himself and then vanished before anyone could see him. The next few days consisted of Damon running around making plans while Stefan tried to figure out just what the hell his brother was up to this time. It was Saturday morning when Stefan finally figured out what was going on though it wasn't that hard to figure out when there were people all over the place setting things up. The Winchesters were just as bewildered as Stefan was, but the younger Salvatore managed to corner Damon first.

"What the hell is going on? I expected you to kidnap the bride not plan her damn wedding." Stefan said looking at his brother suspiciously.

Damon shook his head and smiled, "Oh I'm sure you're not the only one. She is having his baby, Stefan. He's given her the one thing that I can't. As her best friend, I figured, what the hell, I might as well try to be supportive. So that is what I am doing, Stefan. My gift to her is her dream wedding. The wedding that Ruby has always dreamed of having. Now that is one thing he can't give her."

"Okay who are you and what have you done with Damon?" Stefan asked still eying his brother suspiciously.

The older vampire's laughter echoed throughout the house as he walked away from Stefan. He was just grateful that Dean was still willing to go through with this after finding out about his and Ruby's indiscretion. The bride to be was in Damon's room along with Caroline, Elena, and Jenna who were already in their bridesmaid gowns. Jenna was working on Ruby's blonde locks while Caroline worked on her make up and Elena worked on her nails. It didn't take long to get her all done up for the wedding and once her dress was on, Jenna zipped the zipper up and Ruby turned toward the full length mirror only to gasp in shock. It was a modified version of her dream dress and it fit her perfectly. It was a spaghetti strapped ivory ankle length gown with a light dusting of sparkles on the corseted bodice. It flared out at her hips and with her hair in loose waves as it was, Ruby looked almost exactly like she would of looked had she married Damon before either of them had changed. As with tradition, her something blue was a garter courtesy of Caroline, her something new was earrings from Jenna, and her something borrowed was a bracelet from Elena. To Ruby's surprise, Elena handed her a black velvet box along with a folded note. She unfolded it and smiled when she recognized Stefan's handwriting. How appropriate that I be the one to give you something old. This belonged to mother and I can't imagine giving it to anyone else. Don't worry, Elena understands. - Stefan. Ruby smiled brightly and opened the box only to see a beautiful silver necklace nestled inside. She teared up and mentally cursed her pregnancy hormones.

A knock at the door alerted the girls that it was time to take their places and they headed downstairs. Ruby put the necklace on and spotted Damon in the mirror looking absolutely gorgeous in a tux. She turned around and smiled softly at him. Damon froze at the sight of her and if he had a beating heart, it probably would of been beating rapidly at the moment. It stung knowing that was how she would of looked on their wedding day, but he pushed those thoughts aside as he approached her. He kissed her softly on the lips careful not to mess up her make up and smiled.

Damon gazed down at her and brushed his thumb against her cheek lightly, "Beautiful as always. Now I believe there is a groom waiting for you at the altar."

"Thank you. Wait, you're giving me away? Is this a joke or something?" She asked as she linked her arm with his arm and raised her eyebrow at him.

He chuckled as he whisked her downstairs carefully and then stopped just before they got outside, "No joke. If you would rather Stefan give you away, I can go switch with him if you like."

"No no, it's fine, Damon." Ruby assured him and smiled as he handed her a bouquet of flowers.

Damon stepped outside with her and smiled to himself as he heard her soft gasp. It looked exactly how she had always imagined it would look like. The garden was redone to look just like it did back in the late eighteen hundreds except now it was the site of a wedding. Her wedding to Dean to be precise. She knew without saying a word that Damon had been behind this whole thing and it simply confused the hell out of her. In the case of worst possible timing, Ruby whispered something to Damon before rushing back into the house. He simply chuckled and assured everyone that she would be right back. She somehow managed to use the ladies room without ruining her dress thankfully and then washed her hands. As she dried them, a somewhat familiar voice began to chant and the pregnant blonde felt herself growing weak. Her legs gave out as everything surrounding her went black and her head smashed against the edge of the sink as she collapsed onto the floor. It didn't take long for Damon to realize something was wrong and he shared a look with Stefan before vanishing into the house. Stefan informed the Winchesters of the situation and the three of them took off after Damon into the house. The elder Salvatore brother had reached the bathroom first and horrified at what he saw. There was blood on the edge of the sink and a pool of blood on the floor. He stepped inside and knew just by the scent that the blood belonged to Ruby.

"Oh God! Damon.." Stefan trailed off knowing without his brother saying a word that the blood belonged to Ruby.

Dean quickly realized what was going on and pushed his way into the bathroom grabbing Damon by the lapels of his suit jacket tightly, "You just couldn't handle the fact that she chose me over you, could you, Damon? Where the hell is she?"

Damon, already angered by the sight of Ruby's spilled blood, went into full on vampire mode and slammed Dean back first against one of the bathroom walls, "First of all, I would never ever hurt Ruby, you jackass. I love her. Second of all, I have no idea where she is, but I can guarantee you that I will find her."

"Guys, please, this isn't helping anyone right now. We need to focus on finding Ruby." Sam spoke up as he and Stefan separated their older brothers.

It was the gravelly voiced angel that spoke up catching the attention of both sets of brothers at once, "Damon is right. He did not harm Ruby nor did he take her."

"Then who did?" All four men questioned simultaneously as Damon's face returned to its usual handsome form.

Her body laid limply in the trunk of a car headed across town from the Salvatore Boarding House. Blood stained her forehead, a little bit of her hair, and some of her dress a deep crimson shade. She was still out cold when the car stopped and she was pulled out of the trunk. Her body was brought inside and laid limply on a table in the center of a room. Her wrists and ankles were tied down before a short incantation was spoken which only awakened the pregnant blonde. A gag was placed over her mouth to prevent her from screaming and from reciting any spells.

Bonnie smirked as she picked up a book and began to flip through it, "Sorry Ruby. You know, I truly hate to do this. I mean, it is bad enough that we have vampires running loose around here, but the last thing that we need is a demon child on the loose as well."

The brunette witch stopped once she reached the page that she was looking for and began to recite again. The pregnant blonde's bright blue eyes widened as she realized what Bonnie was doing. It was a protection spell that was commonly used to protect homes from evil, but Bonnie was modifying it to keep out the very same four men that were currently searching for Ruby. If looks could kill though, Bonnie would be dead on the spot from the look she was currently receiving from the pregnant blonde.
