Chapter 21

"You wife has suffered great damage to the right side of the body..."the Doctor begun, leaving us all in suspense with a luck full of sorrow on his face.

My heart instantly dropped, as I knew it was going to be bad news, causing new tears to form as Damon stood up next to me hand firmly in mine.

"...but it looks like she is a very lucky lady, the twins were delivered safely and are now in intensive care. Your wife is still unconscious due to the amount of drugs she has in here system, but we hope for her to gain consciousness by tomorrow at the latest" he smiled warmly.

"Oh thank goodness" I whimpered throwing my arms around Damon's neck. I looked at Ric to see him on his knees crying, and quickly rushed over to him to comfort him quickly.

"She's fine. There all fine" I whispered stroking his back.

"When can we see her" Jeremy asked, urgently.

"You can see her now, although your not going to hear much out of her till the morning" the Doctor replied.

"What about the twins" Alaric said suddenly, getting up and I saw excitement in his eyes at seeing his newborn children.

"You can see them now Mr Saltzman, but only two at a time" he warned.

"So what are they girls, boys, girl and bo" Caroline said quickly.

"You'll have to wait and see Caroline" I said as the Doctor led Alaric and Jeremy of to the babies.

"But you of all people now i'm not patient 'Lena" she mumbled.

"He'll be back before you now it" I said placing my hand on her shoulder. "But until then i'm in need of coffee and food".

"To the cafeteria we go then" Tyler said. Everyone was clearly in a much better mood after the good news that no one was dead or in any kind of danger, in truly was a miracle.

.

It was an hour later till we heard back from either Jeremy or Ric. Jeremy had left Alaric with the twins to come and tell the news of the new additions to the family.

"Well don't just stand there spit it out" Caroline whined.

"Considering you said it so nicely. The two new additions are both beautiful baby girls" he grinned at us.

"I show new it" Caroline squealed.

"I'm sure you did" I rolled my eyes.

"You know I did, I have a skill for these things. Just like now I can see Amy and Matt having a girl as well with Matt's blonde hair and Amy's green eyes" she said sticking her tongue out at me.

"Wanna bet" I challenged.

"If your prepared to lose sure"

"I bet that they have a little boy with Amy's hair and Matt's eyes"

"And the winner gets..."

"Leave it open" I said casually, not being able to come with anything straight away.

"Deal" she said shaking my hand.

"Do I have no say in what my unborn child is" Amy joked.

"Of course, were just making it fun" Caroline said smiling.

Eveyone just shook there head at her, laughing at how chilled out everyone now that the danger was gone.

Just then there was a tap on her back, and she turned around to see a young man.

"Are you Elena Gilbert" he questioned.

"Um, yeah" I said sucpiously.

"Some guy came to the reception and insisted you need this" he said handing her an envelop.

"Thanks" I mumbled as I stared at the envelop with to familiar writing on the front. I tore open the notw swiftly all eyes on me, with a curious glint in each.

I pulled out the piece of paper swifty and dropped as soon as a saw the words and instantly froze.

.

Damon P.O.V

"Elena, sweetie look at me what's up" I asked urgently as she froze.

"Letter" she whispered, as tears escaped her eyes.

I picked up the fallen piece of paper quickly and read the words on the paper:

Just a reminder that were still her L. Hope you liked the surprise.

No name was needed to know who it was from.

"That son of a bitch" I whispered and pulled her swiftly to her chest, as she began to fall to pieces in front of him.

"Damon what is it" Jeremy and Caroline asked urgently. I didn't reply and handed them the note.

"He did this" Elena sobbed into my chest.

"This is not your fault"

"Yea, it is if i-i-i ha-a-d just g-gone with him.."She begun but I cut her off swiftly.

"What and have him kill you. I don't think so. This is not your fault we are going to hunt him down. And I am personally going to tear him to pieces" I said a new agenda set in my mind. I was going to do it the legal way, but this guy had continually targeted the woman I love and my unborn child by hurting her and her family. He was going to pay.

.

The next morning came swiftly, and Elena had refused to go home until Jenna was awake and she had both her baby girls with her. Everyone else except Ric, and myself had gone home, and planned to back by 9 am latest and now it was 7.30 so they were due any time now.

The night had been emotionally draining, one of the twins had, had to go on a breathing machine as she had begun to struggle to breath but thankfully they were both doing great now. Elena had been crying the majority of the night blaming herself for the accident, even though I had tried several times to convince her it wasn't her fault she still didn't listen. She was now eventually sleeping in my arms, and had been for the last 2 hours or so. We decided that we would hold announcing the pregnancy until Jenna was awake and out of the hospital.

I stared down at the beautiful woman in my arms as she began to wake, and I new then today was the day I was going to ask her about moving back here. Back home.

"Morning"she croaked and snuggled her fae into my chest.

"Good morning beautiful" I whispered back.

"Has she woken up yet" she asked quietly as she began to sit up.

"No, not yet the Doctor came by earlier and said the latest she should be awake is by midday"

"So a few more hours yet"

"Gives us time to talk" I smiled at her.

"About?" she questioned.

"Us"

"OK, that doesn't sound to reassuring" she said raising her eyebrow.

"Nothing bad, just about the future"

"What about it"

"Welli was thinking about, possibly moving" he questioned.

"To?" she prompted.

"A bigger place"

"Well I knew that we'd have to considering we can't raise the baby, in your apartment. But i've been thinking, I want to move as well" she said nervously.

"Where we're you thinking" I questioned.

"You first" she said.

"No you first your opinion matters most"

"I was thinking back...here" she said quietly.

"Oh..." well I wasn't expecting that, it seemed we were more in tune then I could ever have thought .

"We don't have to if you don't want, its just after everything that's happened over the last 24 hours and probably the last month I want to be close to my family. I want to watch the twins grow up. I want to be there for my bestfriend for her wedding. I want to be there for you family to, I love those kids just as much as you do and I know you struggle being away from them. I just want to be here, with you. But if you don't want this. You should know i'll go where ever you go" she said looking up at me with tears in her eyes again. I looked at her with adoration in my eyes, she truly was a remarkable woman.

"You literally just read my mind" I said back causing a smile to break across her face, and her to kiss me swiftly on the lips.

"And just so you know. I feel the the same i'd follow you to the ends of the earth without questioning anything" I said placing my forehead on hers.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you" she smiled and again pulled me to her for yet another passionate kiss.

We were interrupted a matter of minutes later by Jeremy rushing in, when he'd gotten there I didn't know.

"She's awake" he grinned at both of us, causing Elena to get up swiftly grab my hand and pull me after Jeremy, feeling the happiest I felt since we'd found out that she was pregnant.

..

We rushed into Jenna's room to se her sat up with one leg in a plaster, and a stitch above her eyebrow and a couple of visible bruises on her right side.

"Oh Jenna" Elena whimpered flinging her arms around her neck causing Jenna to instantly wince in pain.

"I'm so sorry" Elena pulled back quickly.

"Its fine honey" she smiled. Alaric was by her bedside her hand in his.

"You really scared us there Jenna" I said.

"I'm gonna be fine"She smiled weakly, going down to pat her belly to find it smaller then before, way smaller and instantly a look of pure terror swept across her face, as she turned to Ric.

"Please tell me there ok" she whispered clenching his hand harder as her breathing became erratic.

"Calm down, there fine perfectly healthy" Ric replied quickly putting his hands on either side of her face.

"Thank go" she cried, "I need to see them" she said prompltly.

"I'll call the Nurse now" Elena said, rushing out of the room to find the nearest nurse.

..

Elena P.O.V

The morning had been a emotional rollercoaster. When Jenna saw the twins she instantly burst in to tears of happiness that her babies were alive and well, she'd held them both close, instantly bonding with the two girls. I was now the proud godmother of Miranda Anne Saltzman and Meredith Faith Saltzman. Both girl were absolutely beautiful, Miranda had clearly inherited Jenna's blonde hair and Ric's dark blue eyes, where as Meredith had much darker hair more brown then blonde with Jenna's eyes.

The hospital had decided to keep both Jenna and the twins in for following week to keep an eye on their progress and also Jenna's healing. The cops had turned up shortly after Jenna had woken up to tell us what we already new, it was one of the same men that had been watching me back in New York that had crashed into the car, meaning Klaus was definitely behind this, he never got his hand dirty except obviously when he wanted to hurt me directly. This just fuelled on Damon's need to track him down, as much as I tried to beg and plead he would not listen, i'd heard him on the one on several occasions throughout the week but every time I attempted to listen to the conversation he instantly knew I was there and changed the subject. True the whole situation had, had a big effect on me and I refused to allow anyone anywhere on there own in case any of his croonies were lurking around still.

We still hadn't told anyone but Stefan and Lexi about the baby, and no one new about us wanting to move back yet, we were waiting till Jenna was out of the hospital, which was today. Being the 27th of June, the day of Damon's death or so he liked to say. I had told everyone that I had important news to tell them, and they all agreed to gather at Jenna's as it was convinent considering everyone was going there tonight to see Jenna and the twins and welcome them home.

"You ready to go" I called to Damon who was in the bathroom, joining the bedroom that Stefan had given us for our stay in Mystic Falls.

"Nearly" he called, walking out buttoning up his shirt, with a worried look on his face.

"You'll be fine Damon" I said getting up and wrapping my arms around his waist and placing my head on his still bare chest as he hadn't gotten to buttoning the top of his shirt.

"You can say that you don't have the possiblty of being shot"

"Don't be so dramatic, your lucky she isn't pregnant and can't walk" I teased.

"Thanks for the moral support".

"You know I love you"

"Funny way of showing it"

"Well...i could show you just how much I love you" I drawled slowly undoing the few buttons he had done, fingering his waistband.

"Hmmmmm...i like the thought of that" he said seductively, and instantly pulling me into a earth shattering mind blowing kiss, as he led me towards the bed and pushed me down and began attacking my neck as I pulled away to catch my breath, he began to unbutton my jeans and slid them down my legs, and with that we spent the next half hour, of me proving how much I loved him.

...

We were on our way to my childhood home, dreading what everyone was going to say.

As we arrived swiftly to house, to see Alaric's replacement car on the front, indicating that they were already home. We walked striaght in knowing that there was no need to knock and found everyone in the living room surrounding Jenna who was sat on the cushioned sofa with Meredith in her arms, and I saw Miranda in Caroline's arms sleeping quietly.

"Finally your here" Caroline said quickly trying not to wake the baby in her arms.

"We weren't that long" I said blushing at the reason we were late.

" Hmmm and I wonder why you late" she hinted instantly knowing why we were late. It actually surprised me that she hadn't already guessed that I was pregnant, as much as I hated to admit it she normally instantly knew what was up.

"What are you wearing Elena" Caroline grimaced as she handed Ric Miranda so he could place her in her crib upstairs along with the now sleeping Meredith.

I looked down at my clothing, I was wearing a big jumper of Damon's and my usual jeans.

"Clothes" I remarked back.

"No your wearing a jumper 2 times to big for you" she eyed me suscipously.

"I've been Ill, so I don't really are what I look like" I replied quickly trying to cover the real reason.

"Hmmm" she said simply.

"Show what's the news" Bonnie siad trying to change the subject.

"Wait where's Matt and Amy?" I questioned, i'd expected them here.

"Oh, Amy wasn't feeling to good today so Matt stayed home with her to keep an eye on her"

"Oh ok, well I would have liked to tell everyone together...but I suppose it doesn't matter they'll find out either way" I said as Damon grabbed on to my hand for moral support.

"Well..." Jenna asked curiously.

"Umm, well were having a...baby" I said quietly.

"What" everyone exclaimed.

"I so knew you were gonna be next to have a baby" Caroline said.

"Your having a what" Jenna exclaimed.

"Baby, you know the same thing you just had" Damon said sarastically, instantly cringing at the sarcasm.

"Oh and were moving back here" I said quicjly trying to give them something that wouldn't cause as big a reaction.

"Don't try to change the subject, can eveyone leave the room please while I talk to Elena please" Jenna said in a calm voice, cauing everyone to murmur that they were going to go and check on the twins or go for some fresh air. Damon tried to get away quickly but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Oh don't think i'm doing this alone" I said to him seriously and dragged him across to the chair across from Jenna.

"So how mad are you" I asked her quietly.

"I'm not mad Elena, shocked but not mad" She said finally. "Your a fully grown woman, I can't dictate to you what you choice to do with your life, your parents wouldn't have wanted you to grow up being told what to do"

"It wasn't planned it just happened" Damon said.

"I kinda guessed that. I just thought i'd have to wait a good 5 years before you made me a great aunt" she groaned, causing us to laugh.

"I'm happy for you honey, both of you even though the baby is going to have have asshole gene's, you'll be a great mother and father" she teased.

"Hey"Damon said, insulted.

"Lets just hope this one has more my DNA then yours" I teased.

"I could change that" he whispered.

"Oh really"i said seductively .

"Aunt still in the room" Jenna called, causing us to laugh as she shook her head.

"Alright its safe for you to come in now" I called, as everyone came in swiftly, with grins on their faces, with innocent looks on their faces trying to hide the fact they had just been listening to the entire conversation.

"So I believe you owe me" Caroline said to Bonnie.

"You bet against whether I would get pregnant"

"Of course we did" Caroline said rolling her eyes as if I should have known by now that she would have done that.

"I'm so happy your moving back sis" Jeremy said pulling me into a big bear hug.

"Me neither" I said gasping for air causing him to let go.

"It'll be great having you around more, especially with twins, I mean were gonna need a babysitter" Ric joked.

"That's being left to Jeremy, got this one to look after. I'm sure it's going to be hell with half mine and Damon's make up" I said shaking my head

"Well i'm just glad my maid of honour is here. Looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us considering i've finally set a date" Caroline grinned.

"What? When?" I asked excitedly.

"2 months from today, August 27th"

"I'm so happy for you Car" I smiled hugging. "Although, i'm going to be just over 5 months pregnant then"

"It's an inconvenience, but what one more added to the wedding" she teased.

I smiled at all my family surrounding me the news had gone down better then expected. Now all what was left to do was tie up all loose ends in New York, including quitting my job and Damon sorting out his company, as wells as my birthday which was up coming in just a couple of weeks, helping Caroline with the wedding, find a job and a house and finally end this whole business with Klaus. Something told me the next few months were going to be FULL of drama.

Just then there was a knock at the door, I got up from the chair I had occupied seeing no one else making an effort to get the door.

I pulled the door open swiftly, to see someone I hadn't expected there.

"Mr Salvatore" I asked, curiously, thinking to myself how did he know where we were the last I heard he had been out of town on business.

"Hello Elena dear, Stefan told me Damon was here and I need a word with him"

"Oh, come in" I said stepping aside to let him past. Damon's father looked wearier then the last time I had seen him.

"Damon, your dad's here" I said as I walked into the living room, awkwardly.

"What" Damon exclaimed, jumping up off the couch causing me to become even more sucipous.

"What are you doing here"

"I have what you need" Giuseppe replied.

"And what would that be" I said putting my hands on my hips, looking at Damon curiously.

"Can we take this some where private please" Damon asked, causing me to glare at him. "I'll tell you later don't worry" he said before leaving me stood there with my family staring wondering what had just gone on.

…

Damon P.O.V

"You could have called" I growled as we got to his car out front.

"I'm sorry for intruding but I thought you'd want to see what i'd found"

"Well come on then"

"I found where he's currently staying, just outside of Georgia. But I found some intresting information, some one that could help you bring him down" he had an edge to his voice and I could tell I already wasn't going to like the answer.

"Who"

"Katherine" he let out slowly.

Well this was going to be interesting.
