Both Caroline and Stefan walked through the hospital's doors hand in hand. As they approached the waiting room, Caroline let go of Stefan's hand as she walked up to the front desk." Hi, we are here to see Elena Salvatore. Can you tell us what room she's in please?" Caroline asked as she set her purse down on the desk for a moment.
The receptionist looked up from her computer." Are you family?" The lady asked as she moved her fingers across her keyboard.
" Yeah, She's our best friend and our sister-in-law. As matter of fact, She's here about to deliver our first niece." Caroline answered as she smiles softly as she felt Stefan's hand on her back.
The receptionist nods her head." Mrs. Salvatore is in room 207. Just down the hall and towards your left." She said with a friendly smile.
" Thanks," Caroline said as she grabbed her purse and grabbed Stefan's hand, dragging him down the hall towards Elena's room with her. As they got to Elena's room, Caroline peaked through the door room window and saw Elena laying in the hospital bed. She then also noticed Damon sitting right beside her holding her hand. Back then Caroline couldn't stand Damon, and it wasn't because she slept with him or the fact Damon used to compel her to forget. It was because when she learned that her best friend fell in love with Damon, Caroline was afraid that Damon wasn't good enough for her or the fact Damon might end up doing something really stupid and totally screw things up with Elena and Caroline was going to kick his ass for hurting her friend, but he has proven Caroline wrong and their love was stronger than ever, and here they are about to be parents and Caroline couldn't be happier.
Caroline pulled the door open as she walked into the room." Hey, how's our girl doing?" Caroline asked as she walked towards Damon and Elena as Stefan closed the door behind him. Caroline sat on the other side of the bed beside Elena as she felt Stefan standing right next to her.
" She's resting, but the doctor said it won't be long," Damon said as he grins softly as he stroke his thumb back and forth against the back of her hand.
" What about you, how are you doing?" Caroline asked as she looked over at Damon for a moment.
" I'm good, just anxious."
" Are you nervous?" Stefan asked with a smirk.
" Nah." Damon answered as he shook his head, he then stopped for a moment." Well, maybe just a little." Damon said with a chuckle. Nine months ago when Damon learned that Elena was pregnant, he was nervous too. He was also afraid that he wasn't going to be good enough to be a father since his own father wasn't really the father of the year. Giuseppe Salvatore was abusive to him and Stefan, both Physically and Verbally. He even sent their own mother to die on her own when she was dying of consummation, except that she didn't really die, she just abandoned her sons to become a vampire and left them with their abusive father.
But now that Damon is about to be a father, he solemnly swears to never be that kind of father Giuseppe was, even though that was back In the 1800s. He promised to be the kind of father, his daughter and wife need him to be. Damon wants to be the kind of father, their daughter could look up to. The kind of father who will always put his daughter above others.
" You will be fine, and you know that Stefan and I are here for you guys," Caroline said with a smile.
" I know thanks Care," Damon said with a nod. He then looked over at Elena as he noticed Elena waking up." Hey beautiful." Damon said softly.
" Hey." Elena said as she smiles even bigger, she then glanced over and noticed Caroline and Stefan by her side." You guys made it." Elena said as reached for Caroline's hand.
Caroline took Elena's hand into hers as she nods her head." Come on, you know we couldn't miss the birth of our niece, of course, we had to be here." Caroline said with a smile and a chuckle.
Elena was about to say something when all of sudden she felt another contraction. As she squeezed both Damon's and Caroline's hands, she gasps as she felt the sheets getting wet. She then looked down and then back up at Damon." I think my water just broke." Elena said through a chuckle and a huge grin." I think you should get the doctor."
Damon grins even bigger as he leans forward and kisses Elena passionately and deeply." I will be right back." He said as he got up from the chair he was sitting in and let go of her hand as he walked out of the room and went to find Elena's doctor.
Caroline sighs as she nods her head." We are gonna go wait outside. We love you." Caroline said as she gave Elena's hand a friendly squeeze before letting it go. She then headed towards the door and waits for Stefan to walk out with her as she held the door open.
Stefan leans down and gave Elena a friendly kiss on her forehead." Hang in there mom, you can do this." Stefan said softly as he grasped her hand for a moment.
" Thanks Stefan, go see your wife, you will see you're niece soon." Elena said as she nods her head.
Stefan walked out of the room the moment Damon came back with the doctor, Stefan walked over to Damon and embraced him into a brotherly hug." You got this, dad." Stefan said with a chuckle and grin.
" Thanks, uncle Stefan." Damon said with a smirk as he let Stefan go.
Caroline leans up and gave Damon a friendly kiss on his cheek." They're waiting for you." Caroline said as she gently patted his chest." You better get in there." She said as she backed up and grabbed Stefan's hand.
Once Damon walked in back into the room and closed the door behind him, Caroline tucked on to Stefan's hand as she leans towards the waiting room. As she sat down in one of the chairs and pulled him down into the next chair.
" So, uncle Stefan, how are you doing?" Caroline asked with a smirk as she placed her hand against his face.
Stefan grins as he slightly turn his head down and kisses the palm of her hand, before grabbing it." I am good, Aunt Caroline." He said as they both laugh softly. Stefan then took a deep breath as he leans over and kisses her passionately and deeply.
" Let's have a baby." Stefan said softly after he pulls back and looks deeply into her eyes." What you say, wanna try for one of our own?"
Caroline bit her bottom lip as she was started to think about it. Caroline loves and adores Lizzie and Josie, and even she's really not their Biological mother, she did give birth to them and raising them as her own has been an amazing experience for her and she'll never trade it for the world. but she always wanted a family with Stefan, from the moment she took the cure, and became human, Caroline wanted them to have a family.
" I think, we should." Caroline said as she smiles even wider and giggles as she nods her head.
Stefan let go of the breath he was holding as he grab Caroline's face with both hands and brought her lips closer to his as he kisses her more passionately and deeply as he groans softly against her lips." I love you."
Caroline smiles against his lips as she kisses him more deeply and passionately." I love you too." She said softly.
...
Couple hours later, Damon walked out into the waiting room heading over to Caroline and Stefan." Hey, you two, wanna see your beautiful niece or do you guys just wanna stay out here and make out all day?" Damon asked with a small smirk.
Caroline playfully pushed Stefan away." No, we are coming. How they doing?" Caroline asked as she got up from the chair she was sitting in.
" Mama and my beautiful daughter, is doing an amazing well. My amazing beautiful 6LBs and 7.OZ daughter is here guys, and I'm officially a father." Damon said as he started to laugh but in a good way. Damon hasn't been this happy in a very long time, and he's truly blessed.
Caroline walked up to Damon and threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug." Congratulations, dad. I am so proud of you." Caroline said with a nod.
" Thanks, Caroline. That really means a lot coming from you."
" Come on, introduce your daughter to her favorite Aunt Caroline."
When all three them walked into the room, Caroline was the first to walked towards Elena who was now holding her beautiful niece in her arms." Hey, Can I hold her?" Caroline asked as smiles softly.
Elena nods her head." Yeah of course, you can. Just be careful with her head." Elena answered as she gently hands over her daughter to her best friend and sister in law." You got her?"
" Yeah, I got her." Caroline said as she looks down at her niece." Hi, I am your Aunt Caroline, and this wonderful man standing right here next to me is your Uncle Stefan." Caroline said as she looks up at Stefan and smiles softly." Wanna hold your niece?"
Stefan nods his head as he leans down and kisses her forehead." Yeah, I do." Stefan answered softly as he gently took his niece into his arms." Hey, there." He said softly." What's her name?"
" Miranda Caroline Salvatore." Elena answered with a huge grin.
Caroline gasps softly as she heard Elena gave her niece her first name as her middle name." Really?" Caroline asked as she smiles through the tears.
" Yeah, I wanted my mom's name to live on, you know as a tribute to her and I wanted to give her the middle name of my best friend, because you've been there for me and not just through out my pregnancy. Through everything Caroline, and I want to thank you."
" You don't have to thank me, I am always gonna be here for you know matter what." Caroline said as she smiles softly.
" There's something I wanna ask you guys."
" Of course, anything." Stefan responded as he looked over at Elena.
" Would, you guys do us the honor of being her God parents?"
Both Caroline and Stefan both looked at each other as they both nods their heads." Yeah, of course." They both answered as Caroline walked over to Elena and hugs her best friend tightly.
AN: I know in Legacies Damon and Elena's daughter is name Stephanie after Stefan, and yeah about using that name for this story. But I thought why not use Elena's mom's name instead and use Caroline's for her middle name. I also thought of making Bonnie the God Mother, but since Bonnie is living in Pairs with Enzo. I just thought Caroline would be prefect. More chapters are coming, Happy reading everyone!! As always leave reviews. I do love reading them.
