My life was a fucking fairy tale or at least it seemed like one. Ever since the talk of the adoption papers, everything was falling into place. Elena had been home for six weeks and we hadn't told anyone about our little miracles since Elena desperately wanted to pass her first trimester before we shared our news since she was worried about a miscarriage. I had told her she wouldn't have to worry about that since it was about time something amazing happened to her but I understood her fear.
Katie had been sworn to secrecy and for the most part it didn't affect her. Elena had put on so little weight at this point; the bigger concern was Elena's lack of mobility. Katie had been severely disappointed when Elena couldn't do the usual things with her since Mom didn't have the stamina to push Elena around for long periods of time. I came home every day at lunch to eat with my girls and to play a brief game with Katie.
Every morning I woke up on my stomach while I was pressed against Elena's front. She woke every morning to my fatherly love to her stomach. There were kisses and caresses constantly as I tried to reconcile to the idea that I would be here for the entire pregnancy. I would be in the delivery room to see our babies born and nothing would keep me from that moment.
She would reach out and run her fingers through my hair as I gave her stomach one last kiss. It was protruding a little and she had begun to whine about her clothes getting tight. I tried my hardest not to laugh at her discomfort but she was completely adorable. She had encountered some morning sickness and had been miserable for a few weeks. Then out of the blue, the morning sickness calmed and she began to notice tenderness in her breasts and fatigue. She also was dealing with some food cravings which had become code for, "Damon it's two in the morning can you go get me...?"
I had spent more time on the streets of New York at night in the past few weeks than I did when I was out partying. Elena was always apologetic when I came in with some crazy concoction she had been craving. Three times in the past week I had retrieved some mixture of tacos and some crazy sauce, usually chocolate for her in the wee hours of the morning. She had explained something about spicy and sweet all in one. I couldn't watch her eat it and I had made myself scarce.
Even now she was stirring beneath my questing lips and I sighed in contentment over her little baby bump. Sure enough her fingers tangled in my hair as she cocked one of her legs over my hip. Her cast was sometimes odd to encounter in the middle of the night but it was something I could live with for a little while. I glanced up to her face and saw a frown on her face. I moved up her body slowly so I didn't jostle her. We learned early on how bad her morning sickness was in the morning.
"What's wrong Sweetheart?" I asked as I leaned up for a kiss. Her lips were soft as she kissed me, her fingers scratching down my back.
"I kind of want a cheeseburger," she said thoughtfully. "Would you make one for me Baby?"
"Sure," I said as I sat up to pull on a pair of pjs. She pulled me down to her for a drugging kiss before sliding towards the edge of the bed. She pulled a skirt up over her cast and tugged a baggy tunic on before grabbing her crutches. Her mobility was a bit better now that she didn't need someone to push her around. I went to her and tucked her hair behind her ear before we turned to head to the kitchen. It was my day off and I was going to spend my time with my girls.
"Good morning kids," Mom said as she came out of her room. She was also radiant and I knew I'd never seen my mother look so beautiful. She reached out to help Elena adjust her shirt that was riding up in the back before we all went into the kitchen. I immediately got to work on pancakes for us and that burger for Elena.
"Mmm...that smells soo good," Elena moaned as she rested her chin in hands. Mom laughed as Elena watched me flip the burger as it cooked as if it was the holy grail of food. Soon enough it was on her plate with all the crazy condiments she would use. I flicked her nose gently and she smiled at me.
"Elena when are you going to tell everyone you're pregnant?" Mom asked. We both turned to look at her, our surprise clearly visible on our faces. "Oh please. She's been having all the symptoms for weeks now. I mean who wants a taco in the middle of the night with a candy bar?"
"But I...?" Elena started.
"Honey when I was pregnant with Damon, I ate this barbecue pork sandwich everyday for about two months. With Stefan, I was obsessed with M & M's. Now how far along are you Dear?"
"About fourteen weeks," I said as I moved to wrap my arms around Elena. She leaned back against me as she bit into the burger. She looked sheepish when we stared her but she continued eating anyway.
"When were you going to tell everyone about this?"
"Soon. We were waiting until we hit the third month," Elena said as she finished chewing.
"Well it will be nice to have a baby around. They are such treasures...except when they are crying or pooping. Then you want to cry."
"Wow Mom, thanks for the pep talk."
"Sorry son but it's stressful but completely worth it. Look how well you two turned out."
"It won't be a baby Victoria," Elena said softly.
"What do you mean?"
"We're having twins," I said proudly as I moved my hands down to her stomach. Her hand came down to hold mine and she smiled up at me.
"Twins? Oh my!" Mom exclaimed as she pulled Elena into a hug. "Two more grandchildren!"
"What's everybody doing?" Katie asked as she came into the room, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"We're telling Grandmum about the babies," Elena said as she motioned for Katie to come over. Elena wrapped her arms around Katie and began to lift her. I slid around and lifted Katie into Elena's lap.
"No more of that," I admonished her gently. "You need to relax and lift nothing heavy."
"Damon, I'm pregnant not an invalid," she giggled as she smoothed Katie's hair.
"I know but I'm going to worry and I'm going to be unbelievably overprotective," I whispered in her ear. I straightened and returned to my duties as morning cook while Elena spoke to Katie about things.
"You are going to have a family Damon," my mother whispered in my ear. "It's good to see you growing up." She kissed my cheek gently and I smiled. "Isn't about time you proposed to that girl?"

Things had been strange the last few days and I hadn't been able to put my finger on it. Damon was running between two jobs as he tried to decide where he belonged. Some days he wanted to throw his hands in the air and abandon his father's company and other days he couldn't imagine working for Elijah. Katherine had been absent for the past few weeks since she was sent to the west coast to smooth over some deals gone awry. That had been fine with the both of us but I knew that was a train wreck waiting to happen.
Victoria had been ecstatic over the news of more grandchildren and had taken to coming home with little baby blankets and stuffed animals. Damon had finally picked up the, "What to Expect when you're Expecting Book" and I just marveled at it. For some reason I wasn't as ecstatic. I was happy to be pregnant. I was happy to be with Damon. Something was off and I couldn't figure it out. Why was I not running out to baby stores and shopping? Why was I not reading that book religiously? What was wrong with me?
I did the only thing I knew to do. I pulled out my phone and called for advice.
"Hello Elena."
"Hi. I um needed to talk to someone. Can you meet me for lunch?" I heard the flipping of pages and soon I had my answer.
Thirty minutes later I was sitting at the diner, nursing a cup of tea. I idly looked at the menu but suddenly I felt queasy. This morning sickness was driving me crazy and I really wanted to not throw up all over the table.
"Order some toast and some chicken soup. It worked for me." I looked up and smiled as my lunch date slid into the booth.
"How did you know?"
"You're drinking tea and you look like you're going to vomit. It's what I looked like when I was pregnant."
"I need some advice Isobel."
"I know Honey. I could hear it in your voice. Let's order and then we'll talk." I nodded and ordered the toast and chicken soup while Isobel ordered a salad and an order of fries. She looked the same as the last time. Her hair was pulled back in a clip with a few tendrils dipping to her shoulders. She was dressed semi-casually in jeans and a flowing blouse under a leather jacket. I had always loved her clothes.
"Trust me, when you are done with the toast and soup you'll want some fries too." I nodded a little as she sipped her tea. "Now what is the issue?"
"I'm three months along and I feel weird, like I'm not happy about it," I said quietly as I nibbled on the toast. Isobel made a sighing noise and then reached out to take my hand in hers.
"You lost a child Elena. You are terrified you will lose this one as well. It's not irrational Elena. It's somewhat expected." I felt the tears in my eyes and she just held my hand.
"What if I lose them and Damon and Katie? What if Damon leaves like...?"
"From everything you've told me in the past, Damon's not that type of guy. If something horrendous happened, god forbid, he would be by your side."
"How do I know that? There's not guarantee. There's not a magic spell to keep us together. Nothing is forced. Marriage, living together, sharing a child doesn't stop people from splitting up. I mean you split up with two different men for two different reasons," I said as I looked down at the table.
"Damon loves you and I'm sure of that. The reasons my relationships didn't work was because I ran from them. I wasn't ready and I wasn't in love with them. You are in love with Damon and I know that because YOU have never been this happy. It's time you put your trust in someone else again," she said with a smile. "You deserve this and you shouldn't let an old fear ruin this time for you. Pick out names and decorate the nursery."
"Why do you think everything will work out?"
"Because you have been given a miracle and we don't see miracles end horribly. Now, tell me about his daughter of yours."
"She's not my daughter."
"If you think that, then you are seriously mistaken. You love that child and I'm sure she loves you. A mother doesn't have to be biological but then, you know that already," Isobel added.
"She's been off this week and I don't know why. She's quiet and she's avoiding talking to us."
"I suggest you talk to that girl then. Sometimes a problem needs a mother's touch. I'd hate to cut this short but I need to get back to the office. You'll call?"
"Of course. I'll get you a copy of the ultrasound in a few weeks okay?" She smiled and leaned down to kiss my cheek before putting some money on the table.
"Goodbye Elena."
"Goodbye Mom," I whispered as she walked away.

"Elena!" I spun around on my crutches and nearly toppled to the floor as Katie came running into me.
"Woah, Honey. Slow down," I said as she hugged me. "What is it?"
"I got a splinter. Can you get it out?"
"Where did you get one of those?"
"At Emma's. We were playing outside and I fell on the deck. Emma's nanny couldn't get it out and I said you could," she said as she walked down the hall to my bedroom. I followed her and sat down on the bed, motioning her to sit with me. Sometimes it was nice being supergirl.
"Let me see," I said as she showed me her hand. I took it and began to stroke her palm as I looked for the sliver of wood. "Katie, can we talk?"
"Okay."
"Honey, what's been bothering you? You know that I will listen to anything you have to say." She looked away from me and she withdrew from me. I didn't push but I continued to stroke her hand as I searched for the splinter. It was either a tiny little bugger or I was completely missing it.
"Do you still love me Elena?" She asked quietly and I paused in my ministrations.
"Of course I still love you. Why wouldn't I love you?"
"The babies." Oh God. That made so much sense suddenly.
"You think I don't love you anymore because I'm pregnant?"
"They're yours and I'm not," she said quietly. I pulled her into my arms and held her as she cried. I hadn't thought she would question my love for her and in our happiness; she had been lost in the shuffle.
"Shh Darling. I'll always love you, ALWAYS," I said as I rocked her back and forth.
"But I'm not your daughter," she whispered.
"Yes you are. I love you Katie and I can be a mother to you but it's up to you. To me, you are my daughter even if I didn't give birth to you."
"Really?" she asked as she sat back on the bed.
"Yes. I actually wanted to ask you if I could adopt you."
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"It means that legally I would be your guardian with your father. I would be recognized as your mother Katie. I would never try to replace your mom but I would be your step-mother."
"Can I call you Mom?" I started to cry and she looked freaked-out. I pulled her against me again and her arms went around my body. I held her to her as I thought of what she asked. She was so willing to accept me and I couldn't believe how easily everything was happening.
"If you want to but I know that whatever you would like to call me, I'll be happy with it." She hugged me again before pulling back to give me her hand again. "You are taking this extremely well Katie."
'I've had a long time to think about it and I love you. I want to have a mom again and I want you."
"Oh Honey, you have no idea how happy that makes me..."
"It's right there," she said as she pointed to a spot on her hand. I looked and saw the little piece of wood.
"Oh it's sticking out a little bit. Go get your Daddy's shaving kit under the counter. There's a pair of tweezers in there." She nodded and ran off to get it. I looked around the room and my eyes fell on the file folder on my desk. I got up and moved towards it, flicking the folder open and leaning down. I signed the forms slowly, looking at my signature on the line under Damon's. It would be official once the papers were filed.
"Here it is," Katie said as she put the little brown pouch on the bed. I moved to the bed and unzipped the bag, plucking the tweezers from the top. I leaned over Katie's hand and tried to grasp the little sliver. It jiggled a little and I had to hold Katie's hand still.
"Calm down Katie. I'm trying to get it," I said as I grasped the little sliver successfully. It slid from her palm and I threw it into the trash. I kissed Katie's hand gently and smiled at her as she stood up.
"Thank you...El...Mom," I stared at her as she smiled and ran down the hall. I lifted the pair of tweezers and opened the shaving kit to put them back inside.
"What's this?" I asked to myself as I pulled the little black box out of the case. I moved to open it and it slid open effortlessly. Nestled in the white holder was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. The silver band gleamed in the lamplight and the three stones shimmered. I lifted the ring from the holder and slipped it on my finger. It was a perfect fit. I looked at the shaving bag and then back at the ring.
"What's that?" I turned to see Katie had rejoined me and I looked back down at the ring. I pulled it from my finger and slid it back into the box.
"It's a ring."
"Did Daddy ask you yet?"
"Ask me?"
"To marry him. Daddy said he was going to..." she said as she moved to look at the ring. "It's so pretty."
"When did Daddy say that?"
"Um...before Christmas. He told me at the Carnival." But that was before I knew was pregnant. That was before I thought I was pregnant. That was before he told me he loved me.
"My God," I whispered. I brushed the fresh tears from my cheeks as I looked at the ring. He knew then what he wanted and I...my god.
"What's for dinner tonight?" she asked as she abruptly changed the subject.
"I was thinking roast beef sandwiches, green beans, and some fries," I said as I put the ring back in the shaving kit.
"Yay! Can I help?"
"Of course."

"Where are my girls?" I said as I came into the kitchen. Katie was using a salad spinner while Elena was stirring something in one of the pots, while leaning on her one crutch.
"Daddy!" I smiled at Katie as she hopped off the stool and came over to hug me. I swung her up into my arms and kissed her cheek before spinning her down to the ground. She ran back over to the salad spinner and pressed the button again.
"Not too much Katie. When that's done, pour it into the bowl," Elena said over her shoulder. I moved to Elena, wrapping my arms around her as I kissed her neck.
"How was your day?" I whispered against her skin.
"Enlightening," she whispered back. I thought to ask questions but opted to remain silent. She hummed lightly as she stirred and tested and I just closed my eyes and moved with her. It had been a trying day and all I wanted to do was crawl onto the couch with my family.
"You need a break Damon. You are working too hard."
"Shh...I'm resting."
"And as lovely as that is, dinner is ready," she said softly.
Dinner passed with little event. Elena was smiling and happier than I had seen her in a week and Katie giggled as she told us about her day. I remained mostly silent as my hand crept up Elena's thigh. She swatted at it half-heartedly and I smirked at her movements. Dessert was served and I followed Elena while she cut the pie, taking a moment to reacquaint myself with her feminine curves.
With the pie eaten, Katie ran off to watch a movie and I was left alone with my beautiful girlfriend and sink full of dishes. I picked up a towel and began to dry what she washed. She was sitting on a stool so she could rest her leg and I told her about my day. She smiled at some stories and gave me comfort when needed. It was nice to have someone who would listen to my crap and be there for me.
"Katie got a splinter today."
"She told me that," I said as Elena handed me one of the bowls to dry.
"We needed some tweezers and I uh got into your shaving kit."
"Ah," I said as I put the bowl away. "Did you find them?"
"Yeah and I found something else too," she said quietly. What could she have...oh shit. "I thought it was incredibly beautiful."
"Did you?"
"Yeah and Katie told me how long you've had it."
"Did she?"
"And you'll get no pressure from me. You'll know when it's right," she said as she washed the last dish. She turned to me and kissed my cheek before leaving the room. I watched her stop to talk to Katie. I stood in the doorway and watched as she leaned down to kiss Katie's forehead and then something happened.
"Goodnight Mom," Katie said with a smile. When had that happened? Elena smiled broadly and limped down the hallway.
"Katie?" I started as I moved to her side.
"Yeah Daddy?"
"You're calling Elena, Mom now?"
"She asked me if she could adopt me today and I said yes. I want Elena to be my Mom."
"Why?"
"Because she makes me happy and she takes care of me. She loves me and she loves you and Mommies do that."
"They do," I said as I kneeled down before her. "Are you ready to call her Mom? What about your mother?"
"Mommy doesn't want me and I don't want her either. I want a family and I love Elena. Can't it just be easy?"
"Yeah. If you both are okay with it then I'm okay with it," I said. She smiled and turned back to her movie and I stood with purpose. I moved down the hallway and found Elena sitting at the vanity, brushing her hair. She was already in her nightgown, her skin gleaming in the dim light. I moved towards the bathroom and opened the shaving kit. I opened the box and looked at the little ring nestled there and turned to stare at the woman I loved. I moved towards her, pocketing the ring and kneeling beside her.
"My daughter just reminded me of something," I began as I stilled her hand holding the brush. She turned a little to face me and I pushed her hair back over her shoulder.
"And what was that?" she asked.
"She reminded me that some things can really be just that easy. Sometimes you don't need some complicated decision or plan to do things right. Sometimes easy is okay."
"Okay..." I took a deep breath before looking at her and caressing her cheek with my hand.
"I love you. I think I fell in love with you when you fell into my arms that first day. You are such an amazing woman and you are the light in my life. I was drowning when you came here and now I'm finally moving on with my life and I have you to thank for that. We have a daughter together who is now calling you Mommy and we're expecting twins. Everything is coming together and I've realized I keep putting things off for the perfect moment. Anytime is the perfect moment when I'm with you."
"Damon..."
"I want you by my side always and I want to love you forever and be with you until you send me away. I want to have babies with you and see you in a beautiful dress as we pledge ourselves to each other. I want to be happy and I want to make you happy. I promise I will make you the happiest woman."
"You already do," she said as she reached out to hold my hand.
"Marry me Elena," She slid a little closer as I pulled the box out of my pocket, placing it in her palm. Her hand closed around the box and I reached forward to pop it open.
"Yes. Yes, of course. I love you," she said as tears gathered in her eyes. She wrapped her arms around my neck and began kissing me all over. Her lips were fierce as they showered my face with her kisses. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in for a kiss. She pulled back smiling like she had been given the best thing in the world.
"Let's get your ring on your finger," she smiled as I kissed her ring finger before sliding the ring onto it. "God does that look right," I said as I stared at it. It really did look perfect on her hand, as if it had been there this whole time. "You do realize I want to marry you as soon as you're ready Elena. I don't want to wait."
"Me neither. I do have one request though," she said.
"Anything."
"I want to dance at my wedding so we have to wait until this cast is off," she said with this beautiful smile.
"6 weeks then. We'll have our dream wedding Sweetheart and I will take you on a dream honeymoon before the babies are born," I whispered as I kissed her shoulder. "I'm going to serenade you and romance you until you are delirious with pleasure."
"Mmm...that sounds amazing. Do you have a plan?"
"I do, but that's my secret." She giggled a little as I nipped her neck. "I do have an idea for the wedding though."
"What?" she asked as she turned so I could kneel between her legs.
"The Manor in Mystic Falls. The gazebo would be perfect."
"You want to get married there?"
"You're surprised. It's your dream home and I would love to have some of its magic on our wedding day."
"Oh!" she cried out as she started crying again. She clutched me to her as she dissolved in the happiest tears I've ever been witness to. She laughed and smiled as she cried. "Damn hormones," she whispered.
"I love them," I answered. "Now when should we tell everyone about all of our amazing news?"
"Bonnie and Jeremy are coming this weekend for my birthday. We could invite Jenna and Ric up and you could invite Stefan over."
"And my father?"
"It's up to you Damon."

It was kind of scary to stand in the bedroom while Damon got everyone settled for dinner. I hadn't seen anyone just yet and I was so nervous to tell everyone everything. Damon had decided to invite his father but told me he would throw him out on his ass if I felt uncomfortable. Caroline couldn't make it and I was so sad she was unable to share in this amazing news. Everyone else had already arrived and I was putting the finishing touches on my outfit.
I glanced down at my shirt and glanced down at Damon's newest favorite body parts. My breasts had gotten larger and Damon was in love with them almost as much as my stomach. I glanced down at my open lingerie drawer and sighed at all the items I couldn't wear anymore when I realized I had gone up a cup size. I closed the drawer softly as Damon stepped inside. He came over to me and kissed me softly.
"Are you ready?" He asked as his hands slid around to my stomach. I nodded a little as he kissed my cheek.
"Is everyone out there?"
"Yep, Katie's entertaining them with her art."
"We should look into a summer camp or something. Maybe Jeremy can come visit and help her out. We should nurture her talents," I said as he rubbed his hands over my stomach.
"I agree," he said as he pulled me towards the door. He smiled at me and opened the bedroom door to escort me down the hall. I looked down at my baby bump and smiled. I was starting to show a little bit more and there was no hiding my pregnancy now.
"And I drew that one in the park," Katie said as she gestured to her newest creation. It had been a beautiful day and much warmer than usual so we had picnicked in the park. Katie had drawn the lake and the birds playing on the water. It had been beautiful and I wanted to have it framed and hung on the wall.
"Daddy!" Katie called as he rounded the corner. He tugged my hand until I came out from the hallway and there was silence as everyone stared at our linked hands. Bonnie's hair was shorter and it looked beautiful, brushing her bare shoulders lightly. Jeremy's hair had gotten longer and he looked incredibly relaxed as he draped his arm around her shoulder. Jenna looked tense and Ric was talking to Giuseppe about the business world.
"OH MY GOD!" Bonnie squealed as she ran over to us, jumping into my arms. She squealed again as she spun me around and I lost track of Damon.
"Shit Bon, why are you squealing?" Jeremy asked. I smiled at her as she leaned in to kiss my cheek.
"Because she's pregnant!" Bonnie squealed again. There was a beat of silence and I caught Damon's smiling gaze. A moment later and I was wrapped up in a group hug when Jenna, Jeremy and Stefan came running up. I was juggled between Bonnie, Jeremy, and Jenna before Stefan lifted me into his arms. He spun me around and gave me an innocent kiss. I head Damon's groan but Stefan didn't apologize for his kiss.
"That's my niece or nephew in there," he said as he rubbed my stomach. "Wait...why does your shirt say twins?"
"Because we're having twins dumbass," Damon said as if Stefan was an idiot. Stefan shook his head before chuckling.
"Well two is always better."
"We have more news," I said. "Damon and I are getting married in less than six weeks and we're doing it in Mystic Falls." There was a bunch of squealing as Jenna and Bonnie began rattling off ideas for the wedding and I just smiled as Damon came over to wrap his arms around me. Everyone seemed so happy at the news and I noticed Giuseppe was just staring into space.
"Mommy?" Once again silence permeated the room as everyone turned to look as Katie came up to me.
"Yes Sweetie?"
"Who's going to be in your wedding?" She asked with a little smile.
"First of all, I'm adopting Katie officially and I'm just so happy..." The damn tears started again and I pulled Katie into my arms. I heard a click and I looked over to see Damon taking pictures.
"Don't look like that Elena. I'm taking pictures of my beautiful fiancée and our children," he said as he snapped another picture. Suddenly there were glasses of champagne on trays and sparkling cider for me and Katie and we were making toasts. As the men moved to congratulate Damon, I motioned for Bonnie and Katie to come with me. I opened the balcony door and we slipped outside into the cool air.
"I wanted to talk to both of you actually. Bonnie, you have been my best friend since we were little and I know we had that falling out but I'd love for you to be in my wedding. Will you be my maid of honor?"
"Yes! Of course," she said as she hugged me. She pulled back and I could see the cogs turning as she tried to come up with maid of honor things to do.
"Katie, I want you to be my bridesmaid...not flower girl, bridesmaid."
"What's that?"
"It's a more grown up role."
"YAY!" she squealed as she hugged me. "Do we get to wear pretty dresses?"
"The prettiest," I said. She crawled into my lap and I just held her as we watched the city lights. I heard the door close as Bonnie left us alone. I held Katie and I felt her relax into my embrace, her breathing evening out as she slipped into a light nap. I stroked her hair gently as I thought about the past few months. In six months, I'd fallen in love; gotten a daughter and a future husband, gotten pregnant, and now we were planning our entire future. Six months ago I was a broke student, using a nanny job to stay afloat. I was finally getting my family back. How had all of this happened so quickly?
"Elena?" I turned to see Giuseppe standing in the doorway, leaning out onto the balcony but seemingly unwilling to take the next step.
"Yes Giuseppe?"
"Can I talk to you?" I glanced down at Katie and his eyes zeroed in on the tenseness off my hands on Katie. "I'm not here to talk you out of anything or frighten you. Can we talk?"

At this point in time, I think this story will be 30 chapters max, but we still have a bit to go. I do want to address one point before I get the question in the reviews. I think its okay Katie is calling Elena 'Mommy'. She's had about fourteen weeks to come to the decision about her feelings on the subject and to her, Katherine is from another lifetime. Some may think it's too fast but that's cool. Next chapter, Elena will talk with Giuseppe and Katherine will reenter their lives as the countdown to the wedding begins.
