With this story, I have made it my own but I am using the Vampire Diaries characters, so I hope there is no confusion. Please enjoy. Remember no flames.
Next chapter will be up this weekend. Thank you!
Please don't hate me, too much. It had to happen, for the story to go the way I envisioned it.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and please review, but no flames.
I just wanted to say that I am sorry for not updating when I said I would. Last week starting from Tuesday until after Friday was just hell for me. It just went from bad to worse in a week. I was going to write you something Friday, but something else came up and I just couldn't write this chapter that night. I just couldn't do this chapter justice during that time and I am sorry. Then Saturday came and I was at a theme park around my house for a big Halloween thing they do and one of the old wooden roller coaster really kicked my ass. I was out for two days, feeling like I had been in a car accident. So I was just not in the right frame of mind to write this chapter. I just have a lot going on and a lot of bad as happened. I am holding a lot of angry in right now, so I am sorry for not updating and if this chapter doesn't feel like I put much into it, I am sorry. I have had a lot of disappointment this past week, so I am just out of it. I am sorry, but I hope you guys are happy that this is a new chapter and I hope you guys like it. So please enjoy and please forgive me for not updating when I should have.
Also I just want to say this again. I know my grammar sucks and that it could be improved. I am not stupid and I know this, but there is no way for me to improve it. I am dyslexic, to the point of not relearning certain things doing with the English language and if that annoys you, I am very sorry. I am trying to work on it, but its tough when you can't catch your own mistakes and everything looks right to you. I know I could use a beta, but I don't trust anyone that I meet over the internet and with this being something I have worked on for more than two years, I don't trust just anyone with it. I normally have my friends look it over, but they are all busy right now with their own lives. I do know that as soon as I am done with this story, I will be taking it down and then really improving it and then I am publishing it. Right now, can everyone just deal with the little mistakes and I will try to take care of them as best as I can. Please be understandable. I don't like being dyslexic as the much as you guys don't like my mistake, but thats life.
Elena had fallen asleep just after telling Jeremy everything that was going on, along with everyone's true identities. To say the least that it didn't go the way she hoped would be understatement. Jeremy did not take the news well, not believing her at first and even after Caroline showed him some of her powers, well he freaked out and then stormed out of the apartment.
Elena was beyond tired when Jeremy stormed out of the apartment, she just fall asleep. It had been a couple of hours now and Jeremy was not back, but Elena was beginning to wake up and she could hear both of Caroline and Stefan talking. She was curious to hear the heated conversation between Caroline and Stefan. So she kept her eyes closed and tried to make herself look like she was still sleeping, so she could listen to their conversation.
"This changes everything," She could hear Stefan say. "She wasn't pregnant in any of the other lives."
"Except the first one." She could hear Caroline mumble.
"I know…wasn't that one stolen from her?" She could hear Stefan ask. She hated remembering about that time in her life. She slowly put her hand on her still flat stomach, trying to make sure that neither of them would notice. She couldn't believe that she was pregnant and she was scared.
"Yeah…but it was ripped from her while she was still pregnant," Caroline slowly said. "I know this changes everything…but now it makes sense on why her powers have been acting up."
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked. "This isn't good…it changes everything and now with the battle coming."
"I know…I know," Caroline said simply. "Were just going to have to act like nothing is happening right now…but do everything in are power to protect her and the baby…the bitch can't know about this…and neither can Katherine."
"Yeah that would just start world war three." Stefan laughed.
"No shit," Caroline paused. "I don't know what is going to happen…because this really does change everything…so we need to be on our toes."
"Maybe we should drop everything…wait until the baby is born." Stefan offered. Elena hated hearing them talking about her like she wasn't even there.
"I'm going to have to go see Kol…and see what he thinks," She heard Caroline mumble before taking a seat where Elena's feet where on the couch. "Maybe your right…pregnancy can cause ones magic to change and some times not for the best."
"So then it would be best to wait." She couldn't wait for Caroline reply because she had, had a enough listening to them decide what was going to happen. She sat up quickly and glared at both Caroline and Stefan.
"I think I have a right to decide too…I'm the one that's pregnant and I am the one that is in the center of this." She shouted.
"Lena." Caroline tried to sooth her friend.
"Don't," She shouted at her friend. "More than anyone…I have a right to say if we should wait and if we shouldn't and even though I am pregnant…I can't leave Damon with that she devil," She screamed. "I couldn't stomach it down the road if I knew that he had to marry her and that they had kids…while our child will never get to know its father and he will never get to know our child…because I left him with Katherine…I couldn't do that to him…I couldn't leave him with her knowing what I know," Her voice raising with every word she spoke. "So guess what…you don't get a say…I do." She stood there shaking with so much angry.
"Audie…we are just trying to protect you and your unborn child." Stefan tried, but as soon as he stepped close enough to her, she stepped back.
"Lena…please understand that we want more than nothing to help you…but we just want to make sure you protected."
"What about Damon?" She shouted.
"We haven't forgotten…but now there is another to think about." Caroline said while standing.
"I more than you should know about the other person…I am the one pregnant." She yelled.
"Lena…if you want to keep with what we have been doing…then okay I will go with you," Caroline said before paused. "But we are doing things differently because now your pregnant…which means your magic is going to be different," She explained. "But we are going to have to keep going the way it was…meaning know one can know that your pregnant with Damon's child…he…nor can Katherine find out that your pregnant…it almost needs to be a surprise until the very end."
"I like that idea better…I can't leave him with her." She sniffled.
"I know Lena…I'll help you no matter what…but you have to promise me that no one finds out the baby is Damon's…unless you have talked to me or Kol about this…also we need more than ever to keep a low profile…so that means acting like nothing is going on," Caroline explained. "We'll still train on the weekend…but we need to make sure nothing seems out of the ordinary."
"I understand…I just also have to protect Damon."
"You also have someone else to protect too." Caroline said while hugging her friend.
"I am scared." She said while pulling back and putting a hand on her stomach again. "Maybe I am not."
"As much as that would make it easier…but I am betting anything you are."
"I guess I need a doctor's appointment then."
"Yeah…but first we need to talk to Jeremy when he gets home." Caroline said while pulling Elena down to sit down beside her.
November 26th 2017,
Elena and Jeremy had talked everything through and Jeremy had finally come around, which made Elena really happy to know that she had someone close to her by her side. They had just gotten back from having Thanksgiving at the Gilbert's house. She had stayed with Jenna and Alaric, since she had a room there. She was beyond nervous the whole time she was there, because worried that one of them would notice that she was pregnant. She did hear from Stefan that Damon and Katherine showed up for the holiday. She knew that it took everything in Stefan not tell Damon about the baby or kill Katherine where she stood.
Elena was already nine weeks pregnant and not so ready to go to her first doctor's appointment. No one really knew that Elena was pregnant and she was keeping it that way until after this appointment, she just wanted confirm but something deep down told her that she was. Of course Caroline, Stefan, Jeremy and Kol knew that she was pregnant, but everyone else didn't know.
Caroline and her made their way into the doctor's office and Elena was shaking. She was kind of hoping that the doctor came back and told her that she wasn't pregnant, but then another part of her was wishing and hoping that she was pregnant. Elena made her way to the front desk and it took her a few tries before she was able to speak.
"Welcome Dr. Vander's office…I am Mrs. Williston…do you have an appointment dear?" The receptionist said while looking up from the computer screen. The receptionist was a little old lady that reminded her of a grandma.
"I have an appointment…my name is Elena Gilbert." She whispered, afraid that someone there would notice her.
"Ah…here we go," Mrs. Williston said while looking down at her screen. "It looks like your appointment is right here…if you will fill out this paperwork…Dr. Vander's will right with you Ms. Gilbert."
"Thank you." Elena said while taking the paperwork and heading over to where Caroline sitting.
An hour later,
Elena was sitting back in the Doctor's office, waiting for the doctor to come back. They had talked about everything that could be talked about and Elena had answered all the information she could. They talked about family medical history on both sides and she had lied about the father, saying that it was a one nightstand that she had no idea who the father was. Elena was now sitting on the Doctor's table, just waiting. She had already had a pelvic exam and then a blood test, along with many more things that are required during your first prenatal visit. She had already found that she was pregnant and it was not sitting well with her, not because she wasn't happy, but because she was scared beyond belief.
"I am sorry Miss Gilbert…I had to run and get the machine to do a sonogram…I think it wise to do a sonogram to determine the due date since this was a result from a one night stand." Both Elena and Caroline wanted to slap Dr. Vander's, who was an older man with deep-set eyes and puffy cheeks. Both girls could not believe that the doctor had said something like that.
"I know I conceived on the 5th of October…it was the first time in almost three years since I had sex." She mumbled out, shaking a little bit. She felt Caroline take her hand, and she squeezed back.
"Please pull up your shirt…so we may begin," Dr. Vander's said while wheeling in an ultrasound machine. Elena began to rise up her shirt and it took everything in her just to do that. "Now this will be cold…so be prepared." Dr. Vander's said while some gel on the Doppler and then putting it on Elena's flat stomach. Elena shivered a bit from the cold gel.
"Let's see." Dr. Vander's said while looking at the screen and moving the Doppler around Elena's stomach, before mumbling.
"Is everything okay?" Elena asked nervously. She already felt very protective of her unborn child.
"Oh yes…everything is fine," Dr. Vander's said while moving the Doppler over Elena's stomach again. "The baby looks right on track…very healthy too," Dr. Vander's mentioned. "You look like you conceived on the 5th of October or around that day…and you are due June 28th." Elena's heart thumped against her rib cage hard and it made her tear up.
"Lena." Caroline said while squeezing her friend's hand.
"That's Damon's birthday," She whispered with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that it was possible for her little baby to be born on Damon's birthday. She hoped and wished that would be true.
"A family member?" Dr. Vander's asked while looking over to the girls.
"Yeah," Elena lied. "My cousin who passed away during battle…he was a marine…he was my best friend and the brother I never had...it was his birthday." She lied more.
"Ah…now you do know that your baby could come earlier or later than the 28th," Elena wanted to punch her doctor. "I just want to make sure that you don't get worried if your baby come a few days before or doesn't show up on the 28th…I know how some first time mother's are." Dr. Vander's said while moving the screen around so Elena could see her baby and it made her begin to cry more while she placed a hand on the side of her still flat stomach. She couldn't believe that she had a little human inside of her that was a mixture between her and Damon. It made her heart pound harder, because it not only excited her, but it also scared the living daylights out of her.
"When will I be able to tell the gender?" She asked hopeful.
"That won't be until your 16th week and up." Dr. Vander's said while pulling the screen around so Elena couldn't see anymore. "So right now you are nine weeks along…so it won't be until your third appointment that we will be able to tell the gender…you'll be having an appointment every four weeks until your third trimester…then you will be coming in every two weeks…and then after you 36th week…you will be seen weekly until the baby is born," Dr. Vander's explained. "At your next appointment…you will be able to hear you baby's heart beat." This made Elena's heart swell more. She didn't know what it was going to be like to be able to hear her baby heart beat for the first time. She knew that if she did, it would make everything more real.
"Thank you."
"Now…if you get all cleaned up…I'll have Mrs. Williston bring up your payment, along with your doctor's note so you can get your prenatal vitamins and different papers that will explain what type of food and drinks are allowed…and other little things that are allowed and not allowed during your pregnancy…your next appointment will be at the end of December."
"Could I get a picture?"
"Of course…I am sorry I forgot to ask," Dr. Vander's said while clicking at something on the screen. "How many would you like?"
"Just three will do." She whispered while taking the napkin from the doctor and beginning to wipe off her stomach.
"You get cleaned up…Mrs. Williston will have everything ready for you." Dr. Vander's said before leaving the room. Elena quickly got cleaned up and then jumped down from the table. Before she could take a step towards the door, Caroline had pulled her into a hug.
"I'm going to be here for you Lena." Caroline whispered while hugging her friend and it made Elena cry more.
"What am I going to do…we have the battle and Damon's not here," she cried. "I am freaking senior in college," She cried more. "I have no idea what I am going to do."
"Everything will be okay…I'll make sure of that," Caroline said while hugging her one more time before pulling back. "Now…we need to go schedule you another appointment…or we could always find another doctor." She laughed.
"No…lets go schedule another appointment." She said while going out to the reception area and up to the reception desk.
"Hello Ms. Gilbert…Dr. Vander's said you would be back in four weeks…so that would be December 26th…but since we are closed for the holiday…so anytime before the 21st that works in the four weeks or after the 27th…which day would work for you…I know you're a college student."
"Yes…I the 21st should be fine…but I need it in the morning since I have an afternoon class."
"How about at 9 in the morning?" Mrs. Williston said while clicking something into her computer.
"That works okay." She mumbled.
"Here you…this as your appointment date on it," Mrs. Williston said while handing her a little card that had her appointment date written on it. "Also here is the different list of do's and don'ts that Dr. Vander's wanted you to have…also here is the pictures," The old said while handing over a stack of papers and Elena took them slowly, not believing everything she need to read. "Also here is your doctor's note to get your prenatal vitamins." Mrs. Williston said while handing Elena a note with Dr. Vander's writing on it.
"Thank you." She said while handing over her credit card and then finishing up last minute paperwork before she was able to leave.
A few hours later,
They had gotten back a few hours ago after picking up her vitamins. She had told Rebekah that she was pregnant and Caroline had told her to tell Rebekah who the father was, so she did. They had to make Rebekah promise not to tell anyone, which both Caroline and Elena knew that Rebekah wouldn't do that to them. Rebekah promised not to tell anyone and that she would actually help with anything that Elena would need throughout the pregnancy.
At first Rebekah was surprised that Elena was pregnant and that the father was Damon, but she quickly got over being surprised and she was just happy for her friend. Elena was actually surprised how well Rebekah took the news and she wondered how the rest of the their friends would take the news. They just had not told Rebekah everything else and Elena wasn't sure if they ever would.
Elena was now sitting on her bed, looking at her sonogram picture of her unborn child. She couldn't over that she had a baby growing inside of her. Placing a hand on her stomach she began to smile at the thought that the baby was part of Damon. She was would forever have part of him.
"It'll be okay Lex…I promise I'll get daddy back." She whispered to her stomach and it surprised her. She didn't know why she had used that name, but something in her told her that was the prefect name for her child. She kept getting the feeling that the baby was a little girl and she didn't know why.
"Lena," Jeremy said while sticking his head into her room.
"Jer!" She said surprised while looking up at him. "Come in."
"So is that the baby?" He asked while pointing to the sonogram picture.
"Yeah," She said while wiping a tear away. "From what this book says…the baby is about the size of a grape." She said while motioning to the book sitting beside her.
"Really." He said with a smile as he took the picture from her. "You know Lena that I freaked out about finding out everything," He said slowly and she nodded her for him to continue. "But I want you to know that whatever you need…I am here for you cuz and I will do anything." What he said made her cry. "I can step in for Damon…until he gets here."
"Oh Jer," She cried more. "I feel so loved…both Kol and Stefan said the same thing, "She said while hugging him. "I wouldn't want anyone else by my side but you." She said while wiping at her eyes as she pulled back.
"Well I am here…and I know both Kol and Stefan will also be here too…along with Caroline and Rebekah."
"Thank you." She cried more. "Damn…my moods have been really weird lately." She lately.
"Probably because of this little one," He laughed while showing her the sonogram picture and she laughed too. "You know this little one will be very spoiled."
"Oh don't I…Caroline's already hoping it's a girl…so she can buy her all these cute little clothes."
"What are you hoping for?"
"I don't know why…but I feel like it's a little girl," She whispered while placing her hand on her stomach. "Something just tells me that it's a girl and I think I already have a name."
"Really…maybe because of what you are…your able to tell."
"Maybe…I would have to ask Caroline."
"Hey you two…movies about to start." Caroline said while poking her head into the room.
"We're coming," Elena said while standing and putting the picture down on her nightstand. "Care…I have a question for you."
"Shoot?" Caroline said while coming into the room as Jeremy left.
"Is it normal for our kind to be able to tell what gender they are having?" She blushed.
"You mean being able to tell if your baby is a boy or a girl?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah."
"Yeah…especially if you and the baby got a deep connection…you and your mom had one of those connection…she knew from the moment she found out about you…that you were a little girl."
"Really?"
"Yes…why?"
"I think I have one of those connections…because its weird but something just tells me that this baby," She said while placing a hand on her stomach. "Is a little girl…which now makes me wonder if the scene that Bonnie showed me is true…if the little girl I saw was this baby." She said.
"It could be…which is why we need to go see her."
"I plan on seeing her around Christmas and I'll just ask her then because I want the truth."
"Good…I'll go with you."
"No…I want to go alone and I plan on getting answers."
"Okay…now can we see the movie?" Caroline asked while going to the door. "Its my favorite."
"It's my favorite too." She laughed while linking arms with Caroline before they went out into the living room where the movie was just coming on. They were planning on watching the first Harry Potter film.
To my fellow readers and reviewers, thank you for all of your reviews. I hope you guys like this chapter. I know much doesn't happen, but again I just haven't had time to think about what I was going to write. I promise the next chapter will be a lot better.
So do you all think that Elena will be having a girl or boy?
Also I am sorry for not updating when I told you guys I would. Things came up and I just haven't been myself. I hope you guys like this chapter and please review, but no flames and please respect each other.
Also please be nice, I do not have any kids of my own and so I am not sure how to write about someone pregnant or a doctor's visit. I keep having to look it up online and asking my mom for advice. If anyone has information, that would be great, but please be understanding.
Ninaandianforever: Thank you for your review. I am glad that you loved. Yep, she is pregnant. What do you think she will be having. A boy? or a girl?
Guest One: Thank you for your review. I am sorry you feel that way.
4evaDE: Thank you for your review. No this story is nothing like my other story, it's just funny that this is happening at the same time as the other one, but no they are not the same. Also, I think you may want to reread the story. Damon wasn't cheating, please reread the story. He's really with Katherine just protect Elena, so its not cheating really. Please reread the story.
Imagination Run wild: Thank you for your review. She may have a girl and she may not. You will have to wait and see when Damon finds out and for Kat, she will get what is coming to her soon. Elena's powers will fully come in when she really needs them, thats all I am saying. You will be surprised with the outcome of the battle and who will be against who. The baby will be part god because of who its mother is. There is a reason for the child. Elena may or may not meet her parents. She will not go home, her home is wherever Damon is. I may be hinting at a relationship between Caroline and Kol, remember they did have a relationship a long time ago, before Caroline went to earth the first time and met Tyler. Jeremy is finally in on it and he will do anything to protect Elena and her unborn child.
taya: Thank you for your review. Yes, Elena does want everything over, but a few things need to happen before the final battle. Damon will find out, but when will be the surprise of it all.
Guest Two: Thank you for your review. I am sorry you feel that way.
jairem: Thank you for your review. I do have a few readers not too happy with me, but like you said that means I am doing my job. I like your idea about choosing to read and not choosing to read! The showdown will happen and both Katherine and Aphrodite better be ready, that's all I am saying. Elena may or may not meet her real parents. The baby might be a girl and it might be a boy. In the vision it was a little girl. Damon will find out, but when will be the surprise. The bound may or may not happen between Damon and Katherine, but I am not that evil. Thank you for sticking up for my story and I am glad that you like this story enough to do that.
YAZMIN V: Thank you for your review. She will slowly learn how to control them, but with being pregnant it's going to be hard. The baby is influencing her powers. I am happy that you are happy about her being pregnant, since a few aren't too happy about that development in the story. Yes, Elena will do anything in her power to protect her unborn child and to get Damon back. Jeremy isn't from a past life, nor is a god, sorry. Lol, Katherine's karma is coming quickly.
siberia21: Thank you for your review. I am glad you liked the first part of the last chapter and that you like Kol. I just love writing Kol into the story, he's a lot of fun. Some will lose their life in the up and coming battle. Lol, yes it was pretty clever out of Caroline and Kol. Thank you for what you said: "I stand on what I had said in my last review, I love that something good arised from the not exactly ideal reunion (how can it be ideal under these circumstances, right?). It's a motivation. I also provides enormous potential as the baby can have powers on its own, they can mix with Elena's, the baby can be trigger to Elena's powers, it's exciting." I am just going to say that your right about something you said in the quote that I copied and pasted on here. Jeremy's role will be mostly as a loving family member and someone who will protect Elena when needed. He's a warrior in his own right.
cesy: Thank you for your review. I am sorry I didn't update when I told you I would. Life came up.
EsmeraldTriste: Thank you for your review. Damon does have drama, but doesn't know he has the drama. Katherine will be interesting when she finds out about the baby.
Guest Three: Thank you for your review. I am sorry you feel the way you do, but I will not be telling jairem how to write his or her review, just like I won't tell you how to write you review. I am sorry.
Guest Four: Thank you for your review. I am sorry I didn't update when I told you I would. Life came up.
blackjackgotjacked: Thank you for your review and the advice. I know that my grammar is horrible. I am really dyslexic and so my grammar is affected and there is really nothing I can do about it. I know I should have a beta, but I just don't trust anyone on the internet to look over my story that I have been working on for more than two years. I have friends that normally look it over, but they are all really busy with their own lives. Please understand that I already know this problem and I am trying to work on it, but there really isn't much I can do with being dyslexic like I am. Please understand. I am sorry its annoying, I can understand that.
