Hi Everyone, this is my first fan fiction. I am going to be writing a long story that follows Elena and other TVD characters. Feel free to write a review! Thankyou.


-Chapter One-

Heart Wrench

Nine months in the future

INT. DELIVERY ROOM-NIGHT

My heart was beating profoundly; my thoughts racing a million miles an hour whilst the nurse yells again at me to "push".

"That's it Elena, you're nearly there, just push" the nurse said.

"Why don't you push?" I yelled back in an irritated fury. All I wanted was it to be over, I just wanted to be out of this hospital, I was so sick of lying in this hospital bed, covered in sweat. I felt another contraction take over my body and my body pushed as hard is it could, as hard as I could.

"Great work Elena, I can see the head. Just a few more pushes" said the nurse again.

My eyes squeezed shut and I felt my face turn red and with all my might I pushed. I took another deep breath and pushed again, my teeth and eyes clenched shut as the pain washed over me. I could feel the bright hospital lights shining into my tightly shut eyes.

"Your so close Elena, one more push and your done!" Mia the nurse said with a small amount of unhidden relief.

I kept my eyes closed and with everything I had I pushed, it felt as though I was using every nerve in my body. I pushed for what felt like 10 minutes and over my fast breathing and sweat-drenched face I heard the muffled cries of a newborn baby. I let out the last breath I felt I had and collapsed down into the pillows.

"It's a girl!" the nurse exclaims with sheer joy evident all over her face.

Her soft cries continued whist the nurse cut the umbilical cord, Mia then carefully carried her into the next room where she told me she was going to clean her.

As I lay in the hospital bed, sweat covering my body, another nurse came in and started patting my forehead with a cool wet cloth. After about 5 minutes of lying in the bed alone, Mia came back in holding the baby. She carefully deposited her into my arms, she was so still and quiet and as I looked down into her piercing blue eyes, a tear trickled down my cheek and landed on her blanket. I sat with her in my arms for ten minutes, looking down at her and deep down regretting my choice. Mia and another woman dressed in a black pants suit came back in to my room. Mia smiled at me and I knew I had to give her back. I gently placed a kiss on the top of her forehead and smiled at her, as another tear crept down my face, rolling off and hitting the bed sheets. Mia opened her arms and gently lifted her out of my arms and into her own. I immediately felt somewhat emptier. I would probably never see her again and as I lay in the bed tired and alone, my thoughts now over taking my mind, the other woman appeared next to me, documents in hand.

"Hi Elena, my name is Candice I am here with the Georgia adoption agency and I need you to sign these documents surrendering your child to the agency for adoption".

A million thoughts were running through my mind, but the biggest one was, why now? Couldn't they give me a minute, at least 5 more minutes with my daughter? But they didn't, instead they were making me sign these documents, while I was hot and sweaty.

I looked up at her, the pain was probably visible in my eyes but she placed the documents in front of me anyway. I took the pen from her and proceeded to sign on the dotted line. I didn't read what the two page document entailed, instead I just skimmed through it, having already been briefed on what the adoption agency wanted, what was expected and the rules and guidelines that I had to follow. Once I had signed every dotted line I was supposed to, I handed back the pen and documents to Candice and we bid farewell to one another. A wash of sadness washed over me as I saw the last traces of my daughter be taken away. Even if I was allowed to hold her one last time I don't think I could, seeing her tiny eyes looking up at me, made me feel somewhat guilty, but I knew my decision was for the best. Maybe one day we could reunite but right now, adoption is the only way she will have a happy life.


7 hours later

I sat up in the hospital bed, trying to get comfortable, the blue sky and the sun shone through my window, slightly blinding me.

"Elena!" a voice called out from the door way.

"Aunt Jenner!" I exclaimed, a sigh of relief passing through me.

"Oh Elena, I am so sorry I couldn't get here any quicker, I couldn't get a flight, then when I got one it was of course delayed and then-"

"Aunt Jenner" I interrupted, "its fine, I'm just so happy to have you here with me now" I said embracing her warm body.

"Oh Elena of course I would be here, Ric is coming too, I just told him to give us a few minutes first, I hope that's ok?" Jenna said searching my face for an expression.

"Yeah, that's fine" I managed to choke out.

"So how are you feeling?" Jenner asked.

"I feel fine, it was definitely an experience I will remember," I said

"No Elena, I mean how are you with giving her up? I know we have talked a lot about it, but you don't really know what's like till you actually lose her!" said Jenner looking at me quizzically.

"Look it was hard, but giving her up is the best thing for her, she will have a great life with a family that truly loves and can truly take care of her" I said.

"She will be very happy, I know she will" Jenner said smiling at me.

"The nurses said that I can leave in the morning," I told Jenner.

"Well" said Jenner "why don't I pack your things and I'll tell Ric to book a hire car and we can get you home?"

"Yeah that sounds great" I said, finely happy that I could go home.

"I called Caroline and Bonnie, they told me they were sorry they couldn't be here, but you know finals being on, they couldn't really get out of it," said Jenner, placing some of my toiletries in my toiletry bag.

"Yeah that's fine, they called me before I went into labour. I have been studying and I just can't wait to graduate to be honest," I said. Honestly I was relieved, not just relieved that I was graduating high school, but that Jenner had stopped talking about the baby and that I could now finally get back to my life. In two weeks I would be sitting my finals and graduating, I wouldn't be graduating with the senior class of Mystic falls High School, but having a baby changed that. My final year of schooling was spent with my Aunt's husband Ric in his old house in Atlanta. I felt like I was in a safe house, being with Ric for the majority of the day was quite boring, but as Damon's mother said, "it was necessary for Damon". Being forty minutes from Aunt Jenner and Jeremy and my friends was hard, but once again 'it was necessary'. The majority of the day was spent studying and doing schoolwork, via correspondence from Mystic Falls High School. Hopefully I would get into college at Columbia University in New York City. Columbia is where my parents went and they took me there when we were on vacation in New York and I fell in love with the campus. Ever since then I had dreamed of going there and now if the three of us get in, Me, Bonnie and Caroline would be hopefully sharing a dorm and roaming New York City. After the first 3 months of being pregnant, I stopped going to school and started doing my work at home. The school thankfully let me sit exams after I had the baby and allowed me to still be able to graduate. Being pregnant in high school was definitely not what I had wanted, but it had happened and it was now over, although I had missed at lot of what happened in our senior year, I still had my best friends that I would see everyday after they finished school and still went to parties and had sleepovers on the weekend.

"Elena I am going to let you sleep and Ric and I will come back in the morning and pick you up and take you home, ok?" said Jenner placing a kiss on my cheek and bringing me into her embrace.

"Yeah, sounds good" I replied, linking my arms around her back and resting my head on her shoulder. Jenner and I detached when a nurse came in and pronounced that, "visiting time was over". Jenner smiled and waved at me as she exited the room and I was left with only my thoughts. As I lay down in the bed, my eyes drifted around the room and found the ceiling, just like my eyes had when I came home after my date with Damon, the last real date we had before we broke up. As I counted the lines above my head, I slowly drifted off to sleep.


Present Day

The night was cold, my vision blurred, the soft pitter patter of rain trickled down onto the front and rear windows. My legs were slightly shacking from the cold outside air that seeped into the car. My mind started to think about how to tell him, about how I should break the news. The truth is I was stuck, but I was also afraid. Not only afraid of the future, but of how he may react. Suddenly I was taken away from my thoughts and landed back in reality.

"Hey, where is your head at beautiful?" he asked, placing a concerned hand on my slightly exposed thigh.

"What, oh nothing, I um" I stuttered, "I was just thinking about what a wonderful night I had, thank you again Damon, I love you". I said looking into his piercing exotic blue eyes.

"I love you too," he said staring at me for the briefest minute before turning his eyes back to the rode. As we drove over Wickery Bridge, an intense fog started to cover the car, making it difficult to see. Damon started to slow down and the car crawled to the other side of the bridge, both of his hands now on the steering wheel. Once we got to the other side of the bridge the fog cleared and we continued to drive the extra ten minutes give or take back into Mystic Falls. We quietly drove into my street and reached my house, the lights were illuminated as we came to a halt out the front. I reached for my purse and jacket in the backseat of the car, but Damon beat me to it. He grabbed the jacket and placed it in my lap with the purse on top.

"God, I don't want to let you go, are you sure you won't stay at my place, my mom won't mind you know!" said Damon.

"I'm sure, I really want to but Jenner has been a bit suspicious of the two of us lately, I caught her looking through my rubbish bin the other day, I think she was looking for a pregnancy test" I said slightly giggling at what I had just said.

"A pregnancy test!" Damon exclaimed, "Wow she is really getting suspicious".

"Well I think she is trying to be as protective as possible, its not like she is used to the whole parenting thing" I said blankly.

"Well then, I hope you dream about me," said Damon, grinning with his kilowatt smile. That smile is one of the main reasons I fell in love with him.

I laughed, emitting my white teeth, "I will definitely dream of you, I always do!" I said reaching over to Damon and cupping his face in my cold hands. My lips landed on his and our tongues slowly moulded together and danced a dance inside our mouths. I heard Damon moan against me, as his hands reached down to my thigh and started caressing my leg with his electrifying touch. His hands slowly started to venture up my thigh and over my skirt. His hand then left my skirt and brushed over my material covered pelvic bone. I shut my eyes from the sudden pleasure of the touch, although they quickly reopened when Damon's hand caressed my stomach. I flinched and pulled away; his contact on my abdomen became somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hey are you ok, what's wrong, did I hurt you?" Damon questioned, a concerned look taking over his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm sorry, I just should get going, Jenner is probably spying on us through a telescope at we speak" as I said it, I quickly spun around in my chair and looked through the window.

A laugh escaped Damon's lips and he kissed me gently and then pulled away, uttering three words "I love you".

I smiled and opened my door, exiting the car, before shutting the door I returned his words, put my coat on and walked up the stairs to the front door. After a few knocks Jenner answered and when I was safely inside I saw Damon's range rover drive away.

"How was your night?" Jenner asked, ushering me up the stairs and into my bedroom.

"It was great!" I returned, not really feeling in the mood for conversation.

"So, did Damon invite you to his house again? Or his he going to come climb through the window like last time?" said Jenner.

"He invited me over, but I declined the invitation and no he won't be coming through the window, I can't believe you even know about that!" I said quizzically looking at Jenner.

"Well he isn't exactly that stealthy, anyway have a goodnight, I'll let you get some sleep" Jenner replied.

"Goodnight Jenner" I said yawning and moving into my bathroom. After having a shower and washing my teeth I moved back into my bedroom, turned off the lights and got under the covers of my bed. After staring up at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, trying to come with ways I could break the news to him, I slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.
