ENJOY :D x Dr. B. Sorry it's a bit rushed x

Elena's head fell back into the pillows. She closed her eyes, relief spreading through her body and chasing the pain away. She felt Damon's hand brush her sweating forehead, his lips pressing on to hers. "Well done, Elena."

"Here's your baby." She heard the midwife say and she placed a tiny baby onto Elena's abdomen. Her eyes opened immediately and she saw baby Milo for the first time. Even covered in blood she though he was the most beautiful thing she'd even seen.

"Let's get him cleaned up." The midwife said scooping him up and carrying him away.

Elena looked at Damon, his eyes were full of tears and she felt her own tears spill down over her cheeks.

"We did it." She said taking his hand.

"Thank you Elena." Damon said "You did amazing. You're just…perfect. I love you so much."

"I love you too." She smiled weakly. "You're a dad!" she laughed, her joy bursting out

"Yeah." Damon said laughing too "and you're a Mom."

Elena beamed.

"How do you feel?" Damon asked looking a little concerned.

"Umm, A little sore." Elena confessed and Damon cringed slightly while rubbing her back lightly.

"Let's get you cleaned up, hon." A midwife said as she came into the room

"Where's Milo?" Elena asked

"He's fine. He'll be back in a little while. He'll get a name tag, weighted, measured, checked out and getting him cleaned up and ready for cuddles." She told them "You can wait in the family room or you can go to the baby" she added looking at Damon.

"I'll go see the baby." He said and Elena smiled. "I'll see you when you get back." He kissed her softly before he was lead along the corridor.

"I'm very impressed." One of the midwives smiled half an hour later. She was an older lady, plump but with a very kind face, "You seem very confident bathing and dressing a new born. It usually takes Dads an hour to get the arms and legs into the right part of the baby grow!" she laughed

"Our good friend just gave birth last week." Damon told her "So I've been practising." Damon admitted as he snapped the last few buttons on the baby grow

"It's refreshing to see you two, you know." The midwife said suddenly "You're both so young to have a baby (Damon tried to not smirk) but I can tell how committed you are to each other and to this little one. Sadly it's usually just young women on their own and no father it's nice to see the beginning of a little family."

Damon smiled and nodded "Yeah well this…" he picked up the baby and held him to his chest "…is for keeps."

"He's going to be one handsome boy." The midwife added "If he's anything like his father..."

Damon smirked and cocked his eyebrow "Oh Eve." He said reading her name tag "are you hitting on me? If I was twenty years older…"

He heard her heart race and she flushed "…then I'd still be old enough to be your mother." She giggled and Damon thought she looked pleased with herself as she fluffed her hair.

"Right, let's get this little man back to Mom."

Back at the Boarding house Milo shuffled down the stairs still half asleep. He was wearing a pair of pj bottoms but no shirt. He saw Liz blush slightly as he walked into the kitchen.

"Morning." She said while she rocked baby Noah.

"Hey." He yawned. "Ugh. I need coffee."

"I'll get it" Liz offered brightly as she stood up and passed Noah to Milo.

"Thanks Liz." Milo smiled "Hey little guy." Milo said holding Noah up in the air before cradling him

"Hey where is everyone?" Milo asked

"Oh" Liz said setting a cup of coffee and a bagel in front of Milo "Well actually…your Mom…"

"YOU'RE A BOY!" Caroline squealed running into the kitchen Baby in one arm, phone in the other. "That was Damon on the phone!"

"What?" Milo exclaimed "Mom had the baby…had me?"

"Yes!" Caroline beamed "Everyone's doing fine!"

"Why did no one wake me?" Milo said jumping up and handing Noah back to Liz. "I need to go to the hospital…when does anyone ever get the chance to see themself on their first day of life?"

In no time at all Milo was striding down the maternity halls in the hospital clutching a small stuffed cat teddy in his hand. He rounded a corner and saw Damon draining a cup of coffee beside a vending machine.

"Dad." Milo called

"Hey." Damon called down the corridor; he tossed the empty cup in the bin and walked to meet his grown up Milo. When Damon reached him he pulled him into a hug. Milo was pleased and returned it.

"So you're here. You're beautiful. Ready to come meet yourself?" Damon said as he let go.

"I'm not beautiful, I'm rugged and handsome." Milo grinned

"A rugged baby?" Damon pondered "Nah, you're just cute." Damon opened the door to a small room and stepped inside. Milo followed, he was actually quite nervous. He saw Elena tucked up in bed cradling him…baby Milo. She looked tired but so happy. Her smile was almost victorious when she saw him come through the door.

"Hey Mom, congrats on giving birth…to me!" He smiled

"Hi, Milo. Thanks!" she smiled "What have you got there?" she added

"Oh" Milo said holding up the Cat teddy "Well this is Mr. Cat. He's my beloved childhood toy, I brought him back with me the last time I time travelled."

"Oh let me see it." Elena said "Aww." She added as she looked at the stuffed cat toy.

"Mr. Cat?" Damon smirked

"Yes." Milo said a little shirty "He's very dear to me and you, Dad, have to go and rescue him when I drop him over the railings at the Lion house in the zoo when I'm six." Milo added

"Oh no. Poor Mr. Cat." Elena laughed placing him in the cot beside the bed.

"Do you want to hold him? Well you…" Elena said

"Okay." Milo replied before Damon took the baby from Elena and carefully placed him in Milo's arms. Damon sat down on the bed beside Elena and she snuggled in close to him.

"Wow. I am cute." Milo laughed as he looked at the baby bundled up in blankets "This is so weird."

"You can say that again." Damon smirked as he kissed Elena on the forehead.
