DPOV
The last few months after they had caught Eric had been smooth sailing. Everything was calm and peaceful. Damon only worked a few times a week at the office, opting to stay home or manage the building of their new home.
Right now he was standing at the bottom of the stairs, nursing a glass of warm blood Elena had heated for him. Elena was in the lounge playing with the girls who hadn't yet realized their daddy was awake yet. Contessa was walking from a coffee table to Elena, quickly crawling back to the table to hoist herself back up, and giggling the entire time. Arabella was sat next to Elena, looking at a picture book and telling Elena what animal was on the page.
His girls were growing up fast.
"Good morning, my sweet girls!" Damon called, deciding it was time to give all his attention to the girls before his little man arrived.
"Daddy!" The twins cried, both holding their arms out to be picked up. Instead of picking either of them up, he sat down next to Elena and pulled Contessa to his lap, he leant over to kiss Elena on the cheek, and further to kiss 'Bella who had crawled on her mums lap in an attempt to reach Damon
"Good morning, baby" he whispered seductively
"Mmmmm, morning to you too" she replied, her eyes fluttering from the gentle kiss he placed.
"What do we have planned today?" He asked, in between 'Tessa showing him the numbers on the pages.
"Kathrine –"
"Argh, why can't we just have a day to our selves!" Damon cut her off
"Because she's family, Damon"
"I'm so sick of her over here. She maswell move in!" Damon laughed.
"Dada! Don't say mean tings to katkat!" 'Bella cried, scowling at her father
"Oh come on. They're not even a year old at Kat has them under her spell!" He laughed
They went back to reading to the girls and having lunch after that. It was truly amazing to watch his baby girls grow up. Apparently his girls were well ahead of the average baby. They'd started talking, recognizing words and pictures (not quite reading yet), and 'Tessa was pretty much walking. Considering they weren't even one yet, the doctor was really surprised, especially because when they were born they were largely underdeveloped.
Then again, that was the "average baby" in the New World. It appeared Ally's triplets had developed pretty quickly, too. 'Tessa had formed quite a tight bond with one of the boys, Ryan. Elena had to tell Damon to back off, "they're not even one" she always said "stop pulling the shotgun card, he probably doesn't even know what it means!" but he always knew she was beaming on the inside, Damon sticking up for his little girls! A sight no one in Mystic Falls would have thought to of ever seen,
After lunch, they attempted to get a walk in before Kathrine graced them with her presence.
Elena was busy fussing over the girls while Damon finished cleaning up the dishes from lunch when he heard Elena gulp in a large breath and then groan from the front room. He came dashing out to see what had happened.
"Nappy?" 'Bella said, pointing at her mother was rubbing her tummy, frowning at the mess she'd made.
"My water broke, Damon, we have to-"
"Get to the hospital! Oh shit. Where's Caroline? She's supposed to take the girls! She's in Mystic Falls this weekend, fuck! What are we going to do… ahhh, how do you feel? Are you OK? Should you lie down? I'll call an ambo" he rushed over his words, taking Elena's arm and rushing her to the couch so she could lay down.
"Damon it's OK. Take care of the girls. I'm not in pain yet, just let me read to them while you pack an overnight bag for them. Call Ally, she'll be glad to take them" she almost laughed, rubbing a hand over her protruding belly.
"Where is your overnight bag?" Damon asked, bringing the girls over to Elena
"In my closet, it's packed already, with babies stuff in it too". She barely got out before Damon vamped upstairs to fetch everything and make arrangements for the girls. He sat down for a minute. Contemplating how far he had come in less than a year. This time last year he never thought he'd have a chance with Elena, and yet they had their third kid on the way right this minute. It seemed crazy. They'd travelled back to Mystic Falls once since they'd captured Eric, and they'd lied about when Elena and Damon had gotten together in order to explain the twins and the already protruding bump that Elena carried. Something that should be near impossible in the New World was an everyday occurrence in the Old World.
He thought of the time he ran away when he found out Elena was carrying twins. Thinking he couldn't handle it at all. Yet every day he spends with his girls he couldn't imagine not having them in his life. And now he had a little boy on the way. Baby Boy Salvatore. He had no idea on a name. Neither did Elena. They fussed over the girls names and they didn't even stick to some of the names they had picked out, opting for totally different names.
He hoped his girls treated their new brother like he had once been best friends with Stefan. Even though there was less than a year between his girls and his baby boy, they could still gang up on him. Damon knew girls could be mean. He sniggered, thinking about Kathrine, Rebecca, that back stabbing bitch Bree. He wouldn't raise his girls to lie, cheat, and back stab. His girls would be honest and caring, like their mother.
God he loved Elena. He was so lucky…
"DAMON!" Elena cried from downstairs, awakening him from his deep thoughts.
"Coming, baby!" He called back, rushing down the stairs with Elena's overnight bag and some clothes for the girls. If Ally needed anything, she had a key and access to the house.
"The ambo is on its away, I've let Ty know, called Jenna and Ric, and sent Caroline an email. Everyone is in the loop. Let's go!"
"Damon… we can't go until the girls are taken care for and the ambo is here…" she laughed "Because you don't want "yukky bodily fluids" in your car unless they're…. well other bodily fluids" she said, making an ikky face.
He had to laugh, she was right. As much as he wanted her safe, they'd been told by the doctor last week she was all clear, no need to rush to a hospital. Which was good for Damon because his car had recently been bought over from the New World and he wasn't about to dirty it up.
The ambo pulled up outside the house at the same time Ally did. Elena waddled to the door carrying 'Bella and Damon had 'Tessa. He handed her off to Ally before he ran back inside to grab their things. Even though Elena wasn't in a rush, he wanted to meet his baby boy. Not that him going faster was going to help anything.
By the time they got to the hospital, Elena was aching to push, and as soon as the midwife was all set up, Elena started pushing on the midwifes command. Damon held her hand and she squeezed super tightly
"Wholy fuck, Elena! My hand!" Damon look at his hand trying to wriggle it free
"MY BODY! YOU ARSE HAT!" She yelled at him, doing the breathing they'd learnt at pre-natal class.
"The heads crowning, Elena, Push a few more times and your baby will be here" the midwife spoke gently, trying to keep everyone calm.
A few more pushes (and an odd "crack" sound that Damon swore was his fingers) and baby boy Salvatore was born. This time around the baby was healthy and didn't need to be taken away like the twins had.
"Oh my god!" Elena said after taking a breath "He's beautiful!" she cried, cradling him close to her chest.
Damon took the babies hand, and like all typical movie scenes, the baby wrapped his tiny hand around Damons finger. "Wow, he's strong just like his mum" Damon said, surprised at the baby holding on so tightly.
"Do you have a name picked out yet?" The midwife asked
"Rory" Damon said, glancing at Elena
"Yeah, Rory. He suits it" she beemed at Damon.
"How are you feeling, baby?" Damon asked
"Ah, well I think we've got our family for a few years. I really don't want to do this again any time soon" she laughed
Damon managed to climb on the bed and lay next to his wife and Rory, "but you're so beautiful when you're pregnant"
"Damon! I'm not a cow! I can't forever be pregnant. Jeez. Just like my normal body for a while!"
"Yeah yeah, babe. You know I love you no matter what. I agree, this little family will do for now" he smiled, gently kissing his sons head.
"Rory Salvatore" he said, looking at his son thoughtfully
"The Salvatore family" Elena said, resting her head on Damons shoulder.
"Let's hope it's this peaceful forever" Damon whispered as Ally bought the twin girls in to meet their new brother, and let so the family could have time to themselves.
Ally POV
Ally entered the hospital and found her way to Elena's room, she knew Elena would have a quick birth, so basically before bringing the girls to the hospital like asked, she took them to the park for an hour before turning up.
"Oh he's adorable!" she whispered, knowing to be quite, it'd be awhile until the Salvatores had any quietness in their lives with 3 under one year olds. She handed the twins to Damon and gave Elena a quick hug "congratulations" she whispered. Kissing her forehead. They'd become so close over the last year, Elena and Damon were like family.
She turned and left quickly, she knew the family would want to be alone before everyone arrived from the New World.
As she left the hospital, a woman approached her with a wide grin on her face. "How are the Salvatore's?" She asked
"Who are you?" Ally asked
"I'm Martha, you don't remember me? Oh well" she sighed with an odd smirk on her face
"Ty's ex-wife?"
"Ex wife? PFt! I am his rightful wife. That stupid bitch was supposed to be dead! Anyway. You won't be able to forget me, soon. I have a message for you to pass on to the Salvatores" she smiled,
"Ah, leave them alone! They've been through enough!" Ally said, continuing to work to her car
"Well, not enough. Unfortunately for them the son Elena just bore is the key to what I want"
Ally stopped in her tracks, turning to the crazy Martha "And what the fuck is that?" she asked
"I want the barrier down, I want us to mix in with the New World. I want to carry on Eric's work. And I will, Ty shouldn't have crossed me. He'll regret it! I will bring down that barrier and that damn child will help me achieve it!"
"Can't you just give them some time to be a family?" Ally asked, frowning, wondering how the fuck exactly Martha was going to take down the barrier
"They have no time. I'm sick of the Salvatore's having everything. It's my turn" Martha said, before snapping her fingers and teleporting somewhere else.
"Fuck" Ally said, running to her car while frantically dialling Tanya's number.
