A/N: Hey all! Here's another short update! Hopefully the next chapter will be longer!
I DO NOT OWN TEEN WOLF, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, OR THE CHARACTERS.
Chapter Fourteen:
I opened the front door, too preoccupied with my thought to check the peephole, before pulling it open. I jumped, a little, when I saw it was Meredith, Caroline, Stefan, and Liz, on the other side of the door with gifts.
"I know that this isn't an easy time or transition for you, but a child is happy news. I know you'll be a great mom, Bon. Let us celebrate with you… please?" Caroline asked. I nodded, finding myself unable to be irritated with my friends.
"I'm so excited to be an uncle." Stefan told me, as he wrapped his arms around me, giving me a hug. I smiled.
"And I'll be an aunt!" Care exclaimed.
"And I'll finally be a grandma." Liz told me, warmly.
That was enough to quell the uneasiness in the pit of my stomach. One thing was absolutely certain – this child will be so loved. Just because I hate Damon with every fiber of my being, doesn't mean I'll hate my baby. If Olivia Benson's mom could love her, I could love my little bean. I might not know how to do much in this world, but I do know how to love.
We were laughing and surrounded by empty plates. The cake Stefan brought had been demolished.
Liz had been giving me morning sickness tips, when Laura interrupted her to tell us a story about Derek puking on her, as a child.
No matter how optimistic everyone else was, it didn't help me be any less depressed.
"We could get married." Derek's voice jarred me from my thoughts.
"Wait, what?" I breathed.
"I wanted to ask you, anyway, but this way less people would fight us on me being the father. I can't picture my future without you in it. I was planning on asking you, but this just sped up the process. You don't have to give me an answer right now." He assured me.
I never wanted anything as much as I wanted Derek. I wanted him to be my forever. I love him in a way that I've never loved anyone else.
"Yes," I said, not caring that it was before Derek could even propose. "Yes, Derek. I would love to be your wife."
What an emotional day. Tonight ended in happy tears, tucked inside Derek's arms. It's official. We're really doing this. Maybe things really will be okay.
