So, I finally had time to write this chapter. School has me wanting to rip my hair out. At least I have Thanksgiving break to update this story:)
I own nothing, if I did, I would be dating Damon, but sadly I'm not:/
Elena's POV
I tried to go to sleep that night but I couldn't. I always fell asleep in Damon's arms but, Im not in his arms. I tossed and turned onto my back. "Elena, whats wrong?"
I looked over to see Damon looking up at me. "I can't sleep...will you hold me tonight?" I asked him.
"of course I will" He carefully got out of his side of the bed so he didn't wake up Nina and walked over to my side. He crawled in behind me and spooned me from behind "Better?"
I nodded and a shiver went down my body when he kissed the back of my neck. I cursed in my head. That one kiss turned me on. I quickly got out of his embrace and picked up Nina carefully and put her down in her crib.
When I turned around Damon was looking at me with an confused expression. "what are you doing?"
I didn't answer but I just crawled back into bed and started kissing him. He eventually got the answer when our tongues were battling for dominance. He crawled on top of me but looked over at Nina.
"she won't wake up" I told him bringing his lips down to mine. He hesitated for a moment but pulled the blanket over our heads. Within a few minutes we were undressed and became one. When we reached our peak, he rolled over careful not squish me and pulled me with him.
Author's POV
As Elena was almost asleep, the doors that lead to Damon's balcony bursted open. It made her jump as Damon shot up pulling me closer. Elena was looking around the room and Elena looked at Nina's crib. She was still sound asleep. Elena swallowed hard "Damon..."
Damon got his boxers on and grabbed Nina. He gave Nina to Elena as she held her close. Elena kept reminding herself that Emily couldn't get into the house even if she wanted to. Elena jumped when she heard a scream from someone. She turned around and saw Damon clutching his head collapsing to the floor.
Her eyes widened and Elena carefully got out of bed and tried to comfort him with one hand while she held Nina in the other.
"isn't this lovely"
Elena looked up and saw Esther. Her eyes widened. I thought she was dead' Elena thought. "h-how are you..." Elena got interrupted when Damon was groaning. "Damon...are you okay?!"
He looked up at Elena and nodded before standing up. "Oh, wonderful. Your back" he said sarcastically. Elena watched as Esther and Damon were having a conversation.
"hmm, you are pretty cocky and brave considering I could kill you" She smirked.
Damon rolled his eyes "you won't kill me. You are just like Klaus, never follow through on your threats"
Esther looked intrigued. "yes well, I am hear for my children after all. I am still sticking to my plan" she said as she walked into the room.
"Well, I can tell you, that you won't be winning 'best mother of the year' award" Damon said.
"I am getting rid of the vampire population. Elena, you of all people should understand that" she told me softly.
"you would be getting rid of the people that I love, you are no better than Klaus" Elena yelled.
"Am I not? Ever since vampires came into your life, you have lost the people you have loved. Your aunt Jenna,..."
"Don't you dare use Jenna as an excuse for what you have done" I said annoyed.
"fine, well. I am here for that white oak stake" she said.
"well, we don't have it. So, why don't you move along, because quite frankly, your voice is very irritating. Now I know why Klaus killed you" he said.
"you are pretty cocky. I like cockiness. A plus side, you have the most gorgeous blue eyes and body I have ever seen" she said smirking.
"Id rather roll around in a pile of vervain before I ever even touch you. Ill get some disease, given your history with werewolves" he said.
Esther glared at him"fine, Ill leave. Just so you know, that baby will bring death to all supernatural creatures" She tried to get inside Damon's room but was stopped by a barrier.
"oh, did I forget to mention that this house is off witch limits" Damon said.
As she glared at Damon, she looked over at Elena"don't say I didn't warn you"
Elena looked up at him. "this is annoying"
He looked down at Elena and pulled her and Nina into a hug. "we will survive this. We always survive" he said kissing the top of her head.
"I know" Elena said smiling.
Damon pulled away and took Nina from Elena and put her back in her crib. Nina fell asleep immediately. He turned back to Elena"come on, lets get some sleep" he said.
Elena got into bed and Damon pulled her to his chest. Elena smiled and fell asleep within seconds.
Damon's POV
I woke up the s'morning and quietly got out of bed and carried Nina down to the kitchen. I sat her in her high chair and gave her a bottle while I made bacon and eggs for Elena. My phone went off.
D "what do you want, Barbie?"
C "Damon, where is Elena?"
D "sleeping, why? Whats going on?"
C "Alaric...he um...why don't you talk to Stefan...he is on his way"
She hung up and I looked at my phone. What if Alaric killed Klaus? I ran a hand through my hair and looked over at Nina. This could be the last time I would see Nina and Elena. I swallowed and my heart started to break.
I heard Stefan come in through the front door. I sped over to it, telling him to keep quiet. "What happened with Alaric?"
Stefan sighed "Klaus took the stake and killed...killed him"
My eyes widened "what?! I thought Elena had to..."
Stefan shook his head "Bonnie undid Esther's spell making him killable"
"I thought you can't interact with another witches' spell?" I asked confused.
"you can't but this was a crime against nature apparently. Bonnie said it demands balance and so every spell has a loop hole. This one was for him to become killable" he said.
"Well, where is he now?" I asked.
Stefan looked at me with sad eyes and hung is head down. "Damon...Klaus...he um..."
I held up my hand"don't, I got it. Alaric is...is dead" I said as I felt pain in my chest.
"Im sorry, Damon" Stefan said.
"Thanks brother. Don't say anything to Elena about this. Esther came over last night threatened Nina and now Elena is upset. Telling her this, will be too much for her" I said sadly.
Stefan nodded"well, Im going to tell Jeremy. Then, we can decide about a funeral" Stefan said as he walked out the door.
Author's POV
Elena woke up the next morning to find herself alone. Damon wasn't asleep or in the shower. She furrowed her brows and looked over at Nina's crib and saw that she wasn't in there either.
She got up and caught the scent of bacon. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Damon had his back towards her"good morning" he said.
She smiled "morning Damon" she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him. She nuzzled her head into his back and breathed in his scent. She heard a banging noise and she looked over to see Nina sitting in a high chair. She was frustrated she wasn't getting Elena's attention. Elena walked over there and picked her up.
"its weird. She grows normally, not like Renessme does on twilight, yet she understands everything" Elena said.
Damon walked over and handed Elena her breakfast and sat down next to her "well, thats because she has my genes"
Elena rolled her eyes"I hope not. One huge ego is bad enough"
"Elena, Im wounded" Damon said sarcastically.
"Well, why don't I fix that for you" Elena smirked seductively.
Damon grinned "I don't think our daughter will be too pleased to see us rip each other's clothes off"
Elena laughed but Damon could tell it was fake "whats wrong?"
Elena shrugged"I just can't stop thinking about what Esther said...about Her being death us all." Elena looked down.
Damon reached over and pulled her chin up"I promise you, I will kill anyone who touches you or Nina"
"Im still scared...about you. Alaric, he...is still trying to kill you"
Damon looked away. He knew he was going to have to tell her. "Elena, there is...something you need to know"
She looked at him confused"whats wrong?"
Damon swallowed and took Nina from her and sat her back in her highchair. "They got the white oak stake from Alaric, and Klaus came and he...he killed him" he said.
Elena was shocked. She was shaking, she opened her mouth to respond but couldn't say anything. Tears started forming in her eyes and Damon's heart started to shatter. He hated to see her cry. He pulled her into his embrace. He closed his eyes, he hated to see her cry but he knew that she needed to know what was happening.
He rubbed her back and looked over at Nina who was looking at us curiously "Elena, why don't you go back to bed. I'll take care of everything in here" I said.
I felt her nod and she pulled away. "will you come up when your done" she asked wiping her eyes.
I smiled "of course I will"
She nodded and left as I was going back to the dishes.
"Damon?"
"yea" I turned to face her.
"I'm sorry" she said smiling sadly.
I furrowed my brows and opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off.
"Alaric was your best friend" she said. She sighed and turned around to walk up the stairs. I swallowed hard, I had to be strong no matter how much I missed Alaric, I would never admit it to anyone.
A/N: So, I decided to kill Alaric, Im a little annoyed with the fact I didn't mention him as often as I wanted to. I wanted to focus on the witches and Nina. Yes, I know I used an Original's line. I just loved that line in The Originals for some reason and I wanted to use it here:)
