3 months later

It had been three months since Damon proposed. Elena was now almost five months pregnant, and she was feeling happy. Damon was always there with her, comforting her, helping her, listening to her whenever she cried, and making sure she was safe. At first, when Elena started realizing that months were passing without any trouble happening, she was even more scared that Klaus had something big prepared for them. But with Damon's love and reassurance, she found herself accepting the fact that they're simply okay. Her baby was fine, and Stephanie's help was doing great. She was practicing with her powers as well, using her emotions to get what she wanted, and Stephanie was also trying to help her unlink the powers between her baby and Elena-Though it was very hard, since like Stephanie said, the baby and Elena had the same blood. Petrova blood.

"We haven't heard from your brother for a while," Damon said as he helped Elena make the bed.

"Yeah, I know," Elena sighed, "I miss him."

Damon tugged at the covers lightly, looking compassionately at Elena. "Elena, you know that I would love to take you to see your brother…But I don't think it's such a good idea, putting you at risk."

"I know, Damon," Elena said softly. "It's okay."

"No, really," Damon assured her again, "I hate keeping you here like you're some kind of prisoner."

"Damon, I know you want the best for us," Elena reached out to give him a peck on the cheek. "So don't worry your pretty little head about it, ok?"

Damon smiled, coming from behind her and wrapping her up in a hug. "Come on, let's make you breakfast," He said, picking her up. Then, with a cocky smile Elena couldn't see, he said, "Oh my God. I can't even carry you. You must weigh at least a ton."

He looked at her pouty face. The pregnancy made her thin body look much bigger, and he knew she was annoyed when he mentioned something. But she was just too cute when she was all riled up.

"Kidding, princess," He smiled, making his way downstairs.

Jeremy twisted on the hard bed he was sleeping on. He had been in that cell for three months. Alaric was so disappointed in him that he wasn't even talking to him. After he told Bonnie the news that Elena was still alive and pregnant, Bonnie couldn't even speak. The words caught in her throat, and she had left the cell sobbing. She didn't want to kill Elena's baby's father, she was her best friend. But then, with the device she was creating, she was going to save so much people. She knew that the best option was to warn Damon before the device would be activated so that he won't be killed, but it was easier said than done with the members of the Founder's council putting pressure on her. The device was supposed to be ready about a month before, but Bonnie was trying to complete the process in the longest time possible in hope that maybe she'd do the right thing.

She also hated the fact that Jeremy was in that cell, and was considered as a traitor. He didn't deserve it.

She took a deep breath. No, she said. I'm a witch, for God's sake, I should be able to make my own decisions.

She walked slowly to the cell in Jeremy's room, and the latter stared at her with pleading eyes.

"I'm trying to help Elena, Jer," She finally admitted. "I don't want to be the one that destroys your sister's life. Elena's my best friend, Jeremy. God knows how many nights I cried when she was taken away." She wiped a small tear. "I won't kill the man she loves."

"Thank you, Bonnie," Jeremy said, "I was so scared of Damon…But he loves her, Bon. He loves her too much… And the baby…"

"Shh, you don't have to explain," Bonnie assured him. "But I still have to do the spell. The members of the council are noticing something weird going on. I promised them that by tomorrow the device will be ready to use. This is where you'll be taking part…"

She cleared her throat. "I have a spell that can make a vampire immune to the device. Like I already explained, every vampire will be marked on this device, it will make the vampires weak and we can pinpoint exactly where they are. Some of them will be brought here, others will be simply killed. I did this spell to this ring here," She gestured to a blue ring. "Give it to Damon. If he puts it on, the device won't mark where he is, and he won't even feel anything."

"But Bonnie…If they know you released me…"

"Everything's being taken care of. Just head straight to the back door. Whatever happens, don't turn back. This place is under a spell right now, but I'm warning you Jeremy…whatever happens, just continue heading straight to Elena's. Don't talk to anyone, don't trust anyone."

"I understand," Jeremy assured her. "Thank you so much, Bonnie."

With that, Bonnie kissed him on the cheek. "Goodluck."

"Let me do the dishes," Elena moaned as Damon basically pushed her down on the chair again, wearing that teasing smile that annoyed the living crap out of her.

"Oh no, little missy, Stephanie told you you need lots of rest."

Elena groaned under her breath.

"What? You think I have vampire hearing for nothing?" He smirked, tapping at his ear.

"God, you annoy me," Elena mumbled.

"I love you too," Damon smirked again and placed a kiss behind her ear. "Now, stop whining and go take a seat on the couch. We can watch a movie."

Sighing deeply, Elena walked to the couch and made herself comfortable by the fireplace. "What are we watching? Oh…how about Nightmare on Elm street?"

"I don't think so," Damon called back, "I don't want you getting frightened or startled…it won't do you any good."

"God!" Elena shouted, throwing a pillow at him which he caught easily.

"Come on. Let's watch titanic," Damon suggested, inserting the disc as he made himself comfortable next to her. She gave him a cold look.

"Come on, pouty," He smirked, pulling her head back to rest on his chest, stroking her smooth hair as the movie started.

It was almost midnight now however neither of them were tired enough for bed. They were talking in the kitchen when there was a light knock on the door, and Damon raised his head up suspiciously, they weren't expecting Stephanie, and even if they did, definitely not at this time. He gestured for Elena to stay inside and moved quietly to the door.

"Jeremy! What are you doing here?" He recognized the person and immediately opened the door.

"I have so much to tell you…" Jeremy said, he was practically breathless. He had been driving for hours now, and he was exhausted, hungry and excited.

"Jeremy?" Elena called out and ran straight to him. "God I missed you!"

"I missed you too," Jeremy said, burying his head in her hair. "God knows how much things happened…"

He didn't let go of her, and Damon took some snacks out of the fridge and offered them to Jeremy. The latter thanked him, and after he had a handful of the grapes, he turned to his sister and Damon and started to explain everything.

"Damon, the device is against vampires," He said again. "Every vampire in this area will be weakened and pinpointed from this device. The townspeople are finally rebelling. I can't let you die, Damon…I have a witch on my side, but she still has to proceed. However, she gave me this…" Jeremy showed Damon the ring. "If you wear it, you'll be fine."

"There isn't really much choice other to trust the ring," Jeremy added again when he saw Damon hesitating. "Unless you want to travel to Europe in less than 24 hours, which is impossible."

Damon knew it was the only way. He couldn't just travel with his pregnant fiancé-not only across the country-but to an entire different continent where they didn't know who is to be trusted.

"Thank you, Jeremy…" Elena said, "I'm so sorry you got dragged into this."

The next morning, Jeremy stayed with them. He had assured them both that as long as Damon wore the ring, they wouldn't be discovered. No one knew where they were staying and if they were in the US at all. However, he did tell them what had been going on lately, between vampires and humans.

"Elena, you can't stay hidden forever," He told her when they were alone. "Your home is Mystic Falls, with me and Jenna, and your friends."

"Jeremy, you seem to be forgetting the fact that it's no longer me now," Elena chided lightly. "It's not just my decision. Damon's going to be my husband soon, and the baby I'm carrying-She's his daughter. I can't move in a town which is unsafe."

"I know," Jeremy sighed. "But I miss you, Elena. And Jenna almost went crazy. She had been taken to a vampire too, you know. When she got back and found that you were gone…" Jeremy wiped a tear. "Elena, it was horrible."

"I know, I know," Elena said, hugging him. "God, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault. None of this is."

"It's mine," Damon's voice cracked. "If Elena wasn't taken from her home and delivered to me…none of this would've happened."

"Klaus would still be wanting to hurt me," Elena assured him, "It's not your fault. It's my destiny. With you, I'm safe."

"I know that you love my sister," Jeremy said. "And like she said…Elena would still be in danger even if she didn't meet you. It would've happened sooner or later."

Damon stroked Elena's arm comfortingly.

But as they were talking, suddenly there was a huge noise from outside. Immediately, Damon fled to see what was going on.

And then, no one knew what happened.

The door was kicked down, and suddenly Jeremy was being held roughly and kicked at. Damon found himself being grabbed but his strength returned as he saw a man yanking Elena from her hair, and he flashed to him, ripping his head off and grabbing Elena's hand.

But before any of them could realize what was going on, more people with wooden stakes came to yank Damon. He felt himself being kicked at, stabbed, and then suddenly, he felt vervain in his eyes. He screamed in agony, the pain was too much that he thought he was going blind. His hand let go of Elena, and all that Damon heard before he was taken away was Elena's cry as the people separated them from each other, taking them to different ways.

They had been discovered…or betrayed.

Woah wrote that all in one setting. Review please?

Ohhh and PLEASE is there anyone that knows "heart of darkness" promo's song name? I'm dying!

And what do you think about the episode? I'm slowly gaining hope for Delena even in next week's promo, but don't hold your breath...It doesn't exactly mean they'll be fine, they never are cause the writers always throw something that makes Elena hate Damon. I soo hated that the bloodsharing scene was Damon's dream -.-
