A/N: This story is set during season 4. Elena is still human and she and Jeremy live with the Salvatores.

"I'm pregnant you ass!" Elena shouted as she walked back into her and Damon's bedroom where he was lying on their bed.

"What?" Damon asked, genuinely confused. "How is that even possible?"

"You aren't a vampire anymore, moron!" Elena screamed.

"Thanks for bringing that up," Damon muttered sarcastically.

Ever since Damon had taken the cure in order to save his own life, the whole human thing had been a sore subject. He had tried to convince Stefan to turn him several times, but his younger brother had been less than sympathetic while giving Damon a whole speech about how it was a second chance at living. Damon had gone to every vampire the he knew of in town with no success. It turned out that no one wanted to turn Damon back whether it was because they thought that it was a curse or because they thought that it was too funny to have Damon as a human.

"You asked how I could be pregnant," Elena pointed out. "You're human now. You can have kids."

A look of realization crossed Damon's face as he finally realized what she had meant.

"Oh," Damon said quietly. "So you're actually-"

"Yes, I'm actually pregnant," Elena interrupted in an exasperated tone. "What, did you think that I was lying?"

"Ummm," Damon said, knowing that there was no right answer to that question. "I thought that maybe it was a joke?"

"Oh God," Elena let out as a realization came over her. "I'm going to be that girl that got pregnant in high school. I am that girl that got pregnant in high school. I knew that I was late, but I didn't think that I was really going to be pregnant when I took the test."

Damon saw the look on Elena's face and could tell that she was panicking even more than she wanted to let on.

"Maybe you should sit down," Damon suggested as he moved to sit up.

"I don't want to sit down," Elena told him. "…Damon, there's a baby inside of me."

"Well not exactly," Damon began, but quickly shut up when Elena glared at him. "Sorry."

Damon slowly got up off of the bed, slowly was the only way that he did anything since he had become a human again, and walked over to her.

"How am I going to tell everyone?" Elena asked. "Most people still aren't happy that we're together. They are not going to react well."

"Who cares what other people think about us?" Damon asked as he pulled Elena into a tight embrace.

"I do," Elena told him. "I don't want everybody judging us."

"That's their problem, not ours," Damon pointed out.

"I don't want to be the pregnant girl at school," Elena told him.

"I probably wouldn't either," Damon agreed.

Elena began to laugh into his chest.

"What?" Damon asked.

"I'm just picturing you pregnant and with girl hair," Elena responded.

"I look hot, right?" Damon asked her.

"Sure," Elena comforted him in a not very convincing tone.

"What? I couldn't pull off being a girl?" Damon asked.

"The way that I'm picturing it you have the same face and clothes, but other than that you're a girl," Elena responded. "And I don't think that you could pull off the whole pregnant thing even if you could pull of being a girl."

"Well I know that you'll be able to pull of the pregnant thing," Damon told her. "You look good no matter what."

Although Damon was internally panicking over what they had just found out, he knew that one of them had to remain calm about it… At least on the outside.

"I'm sure that I'll look real great with a giant stomach," Elena responded sarcastically.

"You will," Damon told her before kissing her.

"This is your fault you know," Elena pointed out. "You didn't tell me that you had taken the cure until after we had already had unprotected sex."

"I was dead for a long time," Damon defended. "I've long since forgotten about the idea of being able to get anyone pregnant."

"I'm going to tell everyone that you're too stupid to use a condom," Elena threatened as she pulled away from his embrace. "So that they all know that this is your fault."

Damon suddenly realized that Elena's voice had very quickly switched from teasing to annoyed as soon as she had mentioned that it was his fault.

"You're mad at me," He realized out loud.

"Really?" Elena said, pretending to be shocked by that new information. "I wonder why."

"I'm sorry," Damon told her honestly.

"No offense, but sorry doesn't make me not pregnant," She pointed out. "So it isn't exactly good enough."

"So you want to..?" Damon trailed off since he knew that it was not a good subject to be bringing up and that it would probably only make her angrier.

"No," Elena responded. "I'm not going to get rid of it, but that doesn't mean that I'm exactly thrilled with the situation either."

"Stefan never would have gotten you pregnant," Damon muttered under his breath. "Even if he was human… He would have remembered to use a condom."

"This isn't about Stefan," Elena said with a frown. "This is about us. It's your baby, Damon."

"I know," He responded. "But maybe you picked the wrong brother."

"No, I didn't," Elena insisted. "I love you, even if you are an idiot. And it's not like I'm going to change my mind now and go raise the baby with Stefan."

"Well he would make a way better dad," Damon pointed out casually.

"No," Elena told him. "I'm not leaving you. And even if he did play the role of the father, it's not like you wouldn't be around all the time anyways. I bet that you'll be a good father."

"Based off of what?" Damon asked skeptically.

"I know that you'll do anything to protect our baby," Elena told him.

Damon just shrugged in response.

There was a brief silence before Elena spoke up once again.

"I don't want to have to get all new clothes for when I get fat," Elena complained.

Jeremy walked into the doorway, causing Damon to mentally curse about not being able to hear him coming with his stupid human ears. Damon hadn't even known that he was back home, let alone that he was upstairs.

"What's going on?" Jeremy asked. "What are you two talking about? Why is Elena going to get fat?"
