Writer's Notes: Thank you HisSecretLover18, munzke11, Guest, kouga's older woman, and JynxxD for all your reviews! It means a lot to have so much support. It's so funny that you mentioned Lexi JynxxD because when I started this from chapter one, JasperxLexi was a vision of mine, but I sort of tossed the BellaxJasper around too. It was a big struggle for me to conclude on what love path I wanted Bella to go down, all the way up until Bella walked out in the courtyard with Klaus. Please continue to give me your thoughts everyone on the progress of this story.

"Can't I wear the same dress to prom that I wore to Klaus' ball?" Bella groaned as she moved around her room getting ready while Damon lay on her bed, his legs crossed at the ankles and one arm tucked behind his head. He was watching her pull on her pants. He was shirtless, of course, and he was smiling at her wickedly.

"No, that is the dress that Klaus bought you. I want you to wear a dress that I buy you," he said, putting the emphasis on the 'I'. She stood there looking at him now, her dark skinny jeans fastened, and a long sleeved turquoise shirt in one hand and her black lacey bra she was wearing, pushed her breast up, threatening to spill out, making it hard for Damon to keep his eyes on her face. She had training that morning and so her hair was damp from the shower she took before she had to go to school. She had a layer of bruises up her forearms from Ezra making her hit padded tree trunks. This was supposed to make her arms stronger somehow.

"Well, I think that it's silly to own that many dresses," she continued to complain. She pulled her shirt over her head and Damon sighed a sigh of disappointed and she raised a brow at him. "If you wanted a show, you should have said something earlier and not wait to look like a sad puppy when I have to leave in like fifteen minutes for school," she said as he poked out his lip in a fake pout. "You're impossible, you know that?" She said as she walked over to him and leaned down and kissed him softly. "I will see you tonight. I suppose I'll let you buy me a dress. Surprise me," she said and then she felt sick. She hated feeling sick, and so she went into the bathroom as the bile rose in her throat. She leaned over the toilet and heaved a few times before flushing and going to the sink and rinsing her mouth. She put a hand to her forehead to check for a fever, but she felt fine. She was definitely over doing it with training. Damon was staring at her concerned in the doorway. "Are you okay?" He asked as he crossed to her.

"I'm fine. All this training has me out of sorts with myself," she said and then leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"You should probably take it easy some then," he said, running a hand down her arm.

"You know that I can't. Ezra and Uncle Ric are not going to let me just take a break. There's took much that's going to happen, and if I can't at least defend myself, then you won't have a girlfriend because I will be dead," she reasoned.

Damon frowned. "I wouldn't let you die," he whispered and then she leaned up and kissed him softly. "I know. I really have to go now. I'm going to be late," she said and then she was running out of the room before he could say anything else.

Bella bounced down the steps in a happy little step and ran into Jake. "Oops! Jake sorry!" she said as he reached a hand out and steadied her. Despite throwing up this morning, she felt pretty okay and nothing would bring her happy mood down. He was laughing at her. "I swear Bells. You're the clumsiest person I know," he said, and she rolled her eyes as she darted around him to the kitchen. Alice and Stefan were there, standing close together smiling at each other. Alice looked up at Bella as she grabbed a banana.

"Bella listen to Damon," Alice called after her and then kissed Stefan before grabbing his hand and they left out after Bella, jumping in her little red beetle car. Stefan didn't like the car either. Since the ball, there was a lot of mix ups happening.

First, Elena and Stefan broke up, then Alice and Stefan got together. Then Embry imprinted on Kol, and then somehow or another Violet ended up spending the night at the manor…with Klaus, but supposedly nothing happened there. Enzo and Damon have been doing the weird bro thing off and on since Enzo has arrived, and then came the call from Bella's mom.

"I'm sorry I never told you. I just didn't want to hurt you…" Renee had said to Bella. She couldn't really be too mad because her life was actually doing pretty good minus the whole doomsday hanging over their heads. Alice and Ezra had agreed that the war doesn't start until the leaves on the trees start turning orange for the autumn. Her mom was due August thirteenth. Apparently, the twins could come earlier than that because twin births rarely made it to full term, but they would be fine. She was having boy-girl twins, and she was waiting on names until she saw their little faces. Bella felt weird about being a big sister at eighteen, but she was happy for her mom, nonetheless.

Then she met Callum finally. He was incredibly shy and really anxious, almost like she was most of the time, but since Damon, she's started changing into a more confident version of herself, and Charlie actually approved. He did not approve, however, of them dating and living together, but he didn't say too much about it because Bella was an adult now and she could make her own choices. It wasn't like she could get pregnant or anything, so Charlie's worry was dimmed for now. But Callum was nice. Ezra had longer hair, but they were exactly the same in appearance otherwise. He spent his time with Bonnie a lot reading through grimoires and studying up on what they could do for the coming war.

Bella's thoughts of the past couple weeks were still rolling around in her head that she almost missed the turn to take for school. She noticed Jasper driving behind her with Lexi beside him. That was another story. They were becoming close friends and she loved seeing Jasper smile freely now, but Jasper wouldn't be far behind Bella anywhere she went now because of the Riley incident. Emmett stayed at the Mikaelson Manor spending most of his time playing video games with Kol and now Embry. Damon and Emmett butted heads a lot for some reason, but she never wanted to press the issue. Bonnie made a ring for Emmett and she was surprised at the startling blue eyes that Emmett had. She was so used to his topaz eyes that he never realized that they could be any other color.

They arrived at school without incident. Ezra and Alaric were in the parking lot still, and Bella realized that she got to school earlier than she thought she would. Which meant that she didn't have to rush so fast this morning.

"Bella, how's the arms?" Ezra called over to his little sister. Bella pulled her sleeves up and helped up her arms for him to see the black, purple, and blue patterns on her milky skin. He made a wincing sound and smiled. "I promise it gets better," he said and ruffled her hair, which had her batting his hand away. Alaric smiled watching them. They were acting like typical siblings and he wished that Renee could see Bella like this.

"Do we have to train tomorrow?" Bella asked as the three of them walked into the school. Jasper hung back in the parking lot with Lexi and now Alice and Stefan.

"We need to train as much as we can all the way until the war. You have to be able to at least defend yourself," Alaric said without a smile now.

Bella sighed but understood. Ezra smiled at her. "Hey, trust us. We're not going to let anything happen to you, but in case something gets by, you need to be ready."

"I know. It's just, I'm so sore…" she whined a little.

Alaric laughed at this. "Oh, what I have planned next week will make the tree trunks look like a kiddy ride," he said, and they split up once they got down the hall.

School always seemed to drag after lunch, but Fridays were generally faster for Bella. It was always the prelude to the weekend, and she ended up with 4th period being her free period, so she left early from school most days. She had gotten sick around lunch time, and she was sure she could use that as an excuse to skip training tomorrow, but she left school and headed back towards the boarding house. Prom was tonight anyways and so she had to get back and apparently be prepped for the night. She would never understand the need to gunk up your face and hair and dress up only to go dance with a bunch of kids you didn't really know and attempt to sneak liquor into the punch. It was all so clique and she really just wanted to stay home, but she was being forced to this think by not only Caroline, but Damon as well.

By the time she made it back to the boarding house, she already had a few excuses she could use to get out of tonight but walking into the house and to her room made her change her mind. Damon was in her room holding up a sapphire blue dress. The straps were slim that held up the heart shaped bodice and it shimmered in the light, casting a purplish hue. The skirts flowed down and there was a slit that ran up the side that stopped mid-thigh.

"Did I do okay?" Damon grinned widely as he stepped towards her, handing her the dress.

"Well, it's certainly very pretty and my favorite color," she said and leaned in and kissed him lightly.

"Go change and get it on," he ushered her into the bathroom.

It didn't take her long to pull the dress on. The fabric was stretched tight over her breast, but it was a little high waisted, so the material fell freely without clinging to her hips. The back was zippered, that she managed to zip herself using a bobby pin trick that Rebecca had showed her once. She wasn't sure about doing the whole hair thing, so she just left it down. It was sort of curly today and it wasn't frizzy at all.

She walked out of the bathroom and she saw Damon's eyes dilate with heated attraction and a smile played on his lips. "Well, I think I didn't just do good, I did fantastic…you look gorgeous," he said as he crossed to her and pulled her against him with a quick jerk. He took her mouth with his hungrily, his hands staying around her waist. When she protested when he pulled away, he only grinned and kissed her forehead.

"Violet is here, she insists on doing the makeup face thing," he said, taking a finger and making a circular motion around her face.

As if she was listening for her name, Violet just came on into Bella's room and then stopped, gasping at Bella. "Oh, you look so pretty!" She nearly squealed. Then she was pushing Damon out of the room. "Shoo shoo, I have to work," she said and then she pulled Bella back to the bathroom.

"I don't really think all of this is necessary," Bella whined as Violet fixed her face up with more gunk than she would ever need period in a lifetime. The smokey eye look worked really well for Bella, which Violet would know because they did have the same face. But wasn't necessary was the hair thing. Violet had done an elegant half up, half down style that she secured with some crystal pins that matched her dress. Which told her that Damon had help with the dress, or Violet was told what the dress would look like at least.

"There, all finished," Violet said, stepping back to admire her handy work. "You are absolutely stunning Bella," she said, and Bella smiled and hugged her sister.

"Thanks Violet," she said and then she felt sick again. "Ugh," she said as she went and leaned over the toilet and threw up. Which was surprising because she hadn't eaten since earlier. Violet frowned at her sister.

"Are you okay?" Violet said and put her wrist to Bella's forehead. "You don't have a fever."

"I'm fine. I've been training hard. I have to wear the long gloves again tonight because of the stupid tree trunks," she said, showing her sister her arms.

Violet wrinkled her nose. "Training shouldn't make you sick all day though…"

"I feel fine otherwise. I've only puked like three times today," Bella pointed out. "It could just be the stress on my body. I've had a bit of a headache today too."

"I'm not sure. Something doesn't seem right Bells," she murmured. "Maybe you should tell Uncle Ric that you've been sick today. Rest from training the next few days to recover?"

"Maybe. I might just do that," Bella said and then pulled some silvery long gloves that came to her elbows on and grabbed the new clutch that Damon bought to go with her dress, which was a dazzling silver. She hugged her worried sister and left her there to clean up the makeup explosion on the bathroom counter.

Damon watched as Bella walked down the stairs. Violet had brought over these crystal looking shoes that had a three in heel, so it wasn't something that Bella would break her neck in. He stood at the bottom of the stairs wearing a dark tux with a vest and tie that matched Bella's dress perfectly. He had a corsage in his hand that he nearly dropped as he watched Bella. She was perfect in every way and she was his. She smiled at him when he took her hand and pulled her to him and kissed her softly.

"You are incredibly beautiful, and I'm a lucky guy," Damon murmured, and Bella blushed.

"Move aside Damon, let me take a look at her," Enzo said and spun Bella around and she collided against him and she laughed. Enzo had been incredibly amazing since his arrival. Damon was never really upset or angry. They were essentially as close as brothers, and Bella believed that Enzo was actually Damon's best friend. Enzo did a little dance and then he spun her out and she collided with Stefan who then dipped her and spun her back to Damon. Stefan was grinning at his brother and Damon was actually smiling back. Despite everything that hanging over them, everyone was starting to get along better, and it made Bella happy. She was used to being so alone as a child, to having a family so loving and protective of her that she couldn't ask for anything better.

Mystic Falls Gym was lit up like an underwater paradise, twinkling lights hung from the rafters, streaming down, and everything was done in deep blues, light blues, and some purples, which also meant that Damon coordinated with Caroline since Caroline did all the prom planning.

"Bella!" Caroline rushed over to her and hugged her tightly. "You look amazing!"

Bella laughed and hugged Caroline back. She was wearing a champagne colored dress that fit her every curve and swooped at the ankles for a loose mermaid style. Elena was joining them now wearing a sparkling navy gown that was tulle and silk. Elijah was over off to the side watching Elena with a smile.

"Elijah huh?" Bella said, raising a brow to Elena and Elena just had this innocent look on her face. "What? He's really nice and he's helped me a lot. We're not dating, I just agreed for him to be my date tonight because he didn't want me to come alone," she explained.

Caroline rolled her eyes. "Uh huh. I'm sure. You need to have some fun Elena. Don't hold back, go jump him. He's actually really hot," she encouraged, and Elijah's mouth twitched humorously because the girls seemed to forget he had super hearing.

It wasn't long before Rebecca found them, Lexi and Jasper in tow. Rebecca wore hot pink, while Lexi wore black, and Jasper matched. He had his cowboy boots on which made Bella smile. Even dressed up fancy, Jasper didn't give up his cowboy boots.

Damon brought some punch over to Bella and then hooked an arm around her waist. "Well you ladies are looking hot tonight," he said and then kissed Bella's temple.

Violet found Bella and the group easily. Violet threw on her old prom dress because she hadn't really intended on coming tonight. It was a deep purple and it had one strap on the right shoulder. It sparkled and then faded into a light lilac color at the feet. "Bella, can you come with me?" She said, a light smile on her face. Bella smiled at her sister and then kissed Damon before grabbing Violet's hand and disappearing with her.

"Violet what's all this about?" she asked her sister when she drug here through the halls and to one of the girl's bathrooms. She locked the door and looked in all the stalls and then pulled a pink and white box from her purse. Bella looked at the box in her sister's hands. "You know it's impossible right?"

"When was your cycle due?" Violet's eyes were calm, but serious.

Bella thought about it. "I mean it's a bit late, but I've been training a lot, and stress can mess up stuff like that," she reasoned.

Violet shook her head. "I would feel better if you just took it," she said and when Bella raised a brow she sighed. "Please, just humor me."

Bella sighed and took the box. She opened it and took one of the tests out. The box came with three in it. She disappeared into the stall. "You're lucky I actually have to pee," she complained. After a moment, Bella flushed and came out of the stall and set the stick on the counter as she washed her hands. She didn't understand her sister sometimes. She was mildly irritated she realized. She shouldn't be irritated. It's not like her sister meant any harm from it.

"Bella…" Violet said after a few minutes. Bella had been trying to poke one of the pins back in place but was having a hard time with it. She looked over at Violet, who was holding the stick now with both hands.

Bella took the stick and looked down at it. "How?" Was all she could say. She set the stick on the counter as her hands shook. "I don't understand Vi, how is this possible? Vampires…they can't…"

Violet shook her head. "I'm not sure. I know I've read about vampire human hybrids before. They're not common, but it has happened before according to my mythological studies. Honestly, we should ask Enzo," she said and took out her phone.

"No! Are you crazy?" Bella hissed.

"Bells, he teaches the class. I'm his student. Plus, you have to tell Damon too. You can't keep it a secret."

Bella thought about this. "Okay, just tell Enzo to come to the girl's bathroom by the trophy case. He was dancing with Bonnie on the dancefloor."

Violet texted Enzo and a few moments later Enzo was at the bathroom door. "Vi? You summoned me, open the door," he said, and she opened it and he came in. She locked it behind him. He raised a brow. "Okay, I'm locked in the girl's bathroom with twins. Someone pinch me, am I in heaven?"

Violet slapped his arm. "No, we really need you. Well Bella does."

Enzo turned and looked at Bella, who looked sick and sort of paler than normal. "Bella? Are you okay? I can get Damon."

"No!" Bella put a hand up and then dropped it. This made Enzo's brow furrow with worry now. His eyes went to the counter and saw the pregnancy test sitting there. Realization hit him. "Oh," he said with an amusing inflection in his tone.

"I know I've read about it somewhere about vampire-human hybrids, but I wanted to get your take on it," Violet said, pacing around the bathroom in thought.

"Well, it's not common but it has happened in the past. Hmm," Enzo said and them stepped closer to Bella and rubbed a hand over her shoulders. "Bella, calm down. Your heartbeat is going to attract unwanted attention."

Bella took in a deep breath. "Okay. How accurate are those things?"

Violet picked up the box and read it. "Well, how late are you?"

"Uh…like a week?" Bella said after a mental calculation.

"A week!" Violet looked at her stunned.

"Ladies right now is not the time. How accurate does it say Vi?" Enzo continued to rub Bella's shoulders, releasing some of the tension.

"99.9 percent accurate when you're late," Violet said as she set down the box.

Bella groaned. "I don't even know how…. oh my god Damon is going to kill me," she put her face in her hands.

"I wouldn't be so sure, love. You know Damon wanted to have children when he was human?" Enzo said and Bella turned to look at him.

"That was when he was human Enzo, he's been a vampire for what 170 years or so?" Bella looked to her sister who was still thinking about everything, with her analytical mind of hers. "I need to get air. Don't say anything to Damon," Bella said, and Enzo nodded, letting her leave the bathroom.

Bella walked outside towards the football field. It was the only empty space she knew of that was not occupied by a bunch of horny teens. When she got there, she sat down on the bottom bleacher and shuddered. She placed a hand to her stomach and sighed. "How can this be real?" She said to herself. Tears had threatened to spill, but she kept them at bay. She was still trying to get over the shock of it all.

"Bella," a voice called from the shadows. Bella had recognized that voice. It was the voice that haunted her dreams at night, being left in the forest alone, her heart shattering in two.

Bella stood now and faced the voice. "Edward," she said coolly. She really didn't have the time or patience for him. "What are you doing here?" She snapped it out. She felt knots starting to form in her chest.

"I came back for you," he whispered and stepped from the shadows. He was wearing a simple tux, and he still looked the same. Topaz eyes, deep brown hair in waves on his head and skin as white as marble.

Bella scoffed. "Really? Edward, I got over you a long time ago."

"You're in a lot of danger Bella. I want you to come with me so I can get you far away from here," he took another step closer.

"I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm safe where I'm at. I have family here; my life is here Edward. You did nothing for me. You broke me, and you think that it's okay for you to walk back into my life when it suits you? Well, I'm telling you that you lost every right to walk into my life the day you left me to die in the forest and I got hypothermia," her voice didn't crack, and it surprised her that she could stand there without the panic rising. All she felt was anger for the man that stood in front of her.

"Bella, I was trying to protect you! But you go and do something stupid and run back into danger!" His voice shook as it rose, and he took another step closer.

"Stupid? The only thing I've ever done stupid is care about you!" She said, her jaw clenched. "I don't want you here, nor do I need you to save me. If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't have Victoria and Laurent chasing after me trying to kill me. I love you, yes. I did. I cared for you so much that when you left, I was broken to the point where I was going to die. You know how that feels?" She said and she was the one to take the step forward now. "You don't. You only cared about yourself. I know the truths about what really happened at my birthday party, but you blamed poor Jasper, your brother, and someone who really cared about my wellbeing. You, Edward Cullen, never once thought about my feelings in any of it, and you only did what you wanted to do." She took another step closer. "But let me tell you something, I really have to thank you because now, I have found the love of my life, and he's the one that will be with me for eternity."

Edward growled. "You don't understand how dangerous he can be!"

"Ha! Dangerous? At least when he bites me, he won't kill me! Oh, and my insides won't implode when we fuck because he knows how to handle control!" She spat at him.

Edward's eyes were wide. "Bella…this isn't like you."

"You don't know me Edward, and right now, I'm too hormonal and have way too many things going on in my life to worry about you. So, leave," she said, the fury dancing in her eyes.

He stepped to her, his hand grabbing her wrist to pull her to him. Her eyes shot to him like daggers as she made a circular motion with her wrist, side stepping and twisting his wrist inwards and rotating it around to where it locked it in place, and then she punched him in the face. Every bone in her hand pretty much shattered, but she was too angry to care. "Don't you ever touch me again," she growled this time.

He pulled away from her stunned. "Bella, your… hand."

"Worth it," she bit out the words. Then Elijah was emerging from the shadows, Klaus and Kol with him.

"Ah, you don't understand simple instructions. I warned you, Edwin was it?" Elijah said, his hands in his pockets.

"Bella, Love, are you hurt?" Klaus called.

"I broke my hand," she grumbled.

"How did that happen?" Kol asked, standing there, one hand in his pocket the other down at his side.

Edward growled. "You didn't say I couldn't talk to her. You told me to leave the ball. This is the high school, and not private property."

Klaus' face had a dangerous look as he stepped forward to Bella. He lifted her hand to inspect it and then kissed it before carefully moving her closer to Kol. "Little Swan, go with Kol. You're not going to want to witness what's about to happen to poor Eddie boy here."

"He's not even worth it Klaus. Let him be. Let him suffer," Bella said and turned and walked to Kol, who put an arm around her shoulders. When Embry appeared suddenly, she realized the imprint bond would have alerted Embry if Kol said he needed him. When Embry saw Edward he growled deep in his throat.

"Love, please make sure my brothers don't kill the poor bastard since it was Bella's wish that he suffer. Death would be too easy for him," Kol said and Embry nodded, going to stand with Klaus and Elijah.

Bella's knees were weak now and they threatened to buckle under her. Kol took notice of this and then swooped Bella into his arms. The pain in her hand was starting to hit her and she gritted her teeth. Kol sped away with her towards the school.

He made it into the hallway when Violet and Enzo saw Kol carrying Bella. They ran to her. "Bella!" Violet cried out.

Kol looked to Enzo. "Get Damon," he said calmly, and Enzo nodded, disappearing to go and get Damon.

When Damon made it to Bella, he had Ezra and Alaric running behind him, Stefan and Jasper not far behind.

Bella felt dizzy now with the pain in her hand. Damon took Bella from Kol's arms and looked down at her. "What happened?" His worried eyes looked her over and she couldn't get the words to form.

"Edward," Kol said and Damon cursed. "Did he bite her?"

"No, she hit him," Elijah was there now, with Klaus and Embry moving towards them. Elijah was wiping at some blood on his suit. "She hit him and shattered her hand on his face," he said smirking, looking at Bella.

Damon looked at Bella incredulous. "You hit him?" He asked and Bella nodded, groaning in pain.

"Someone give her some pain medicine, we should get her to the hospital," Ezra said quickly.

Bella shook her head. "No pain medicines."

"Bella that's ridiculous. I'll just give you my blood, you'll heal in a few minutes," Damon said, starting to bite his wrist.

Enzo stopped him. "Uh, let's just get her to the hospital. I think that this is one injury she might want to hang on to…you know."

Damon looked at Enzo with a confused look, but he nodded and took Bella out and put her in his car. Enzo and Violet got in the backseat. Damon looked to Alaric and Ezra. "I'll let you know when we get there."

Alaric nodded and then turned to look at Elijah. "Is he dead?"

"No, "Klaus sighed. "Bella's wish was he live and suffer."

"So, I ripped his arm off," Elijah finished and smiled a roguish smile.

Ezra laughed at this. "Well, the training paid off." He said and Alaric laughed in agreement.

"Oh yes, you two would have been proud. She gave him a what too, and then when he grabbed her, she threw him into a wrist lock and slugged him," Elijah said, amusement in his voice. He had a feeling that the strange man from the ball would show up again, so him and his brother decided to wait it out. "Pity she wouldn't let us rip him apart completely, but it makes sense. Bella's hatred for him is the only thing that spared him."

They all moved back inside to make sure that others knew about Bella's status and that they would find out more information later.

At the hospital Dr. Fell took Bella back to the room, Violet, Damon and Enzo following. "Bella is it okay if they're all back here?" Bella nodded, still gritting her teeth to fight off the pain. She had tears stained on her face from all the pain, but she kept refusing the pain medications.

"Okay Bella, we're going to do an x-ray on the hand. I know it's broke, but we need to know how severe the damage is," she said with a warm smile. Violet sat next to Bella, Enzo standing at the head of the exam bed and Damon was sitting on the other side of her.

"So, just a few questions and then I promise I'll roll you back for the x-ray okay?" She asked and Bella nodded.

"Any allergies?" She asked and Bella shook her head. "Any drug use?" Bella shook her ahead again and then her conscious wavered. She closed her eyes, and then she passed out.

"Oh, well. Do any of you know her medical history?" Dr. Fell asked.

"I do," Violet said and Dr. Fell nodded.

"Any alcohol consumption tonight? Is she a smoker?"

"No."

"Any sexual activity in the past 24 hours?"

"Yes," Damon said now.

"Is she pregnant?" Dr. Fell asked simply.

Damon started to answer but Enzo cut in. "Yes." His eyes looked to Violet, but he didn't look at Damon now. His eyes went to Bella's face. At least she wasn't in any pain with her being passed out, and now she really didn't have to sit through the stunned look on Damon's face he knew was there without looking at him.

"Okay. I'm going to have to do an ultrasound first to make sure the baby is not in distress before I sign off on an x-ray," she said and moved around the exam room, opening a couple cabinets and grabbing a few things.

Damon sat there in a stunned silence. Pregnant? This didn't make sense unless she…his eyes looked at her sleeping face. She wouldn't do that to him, he was sure of it. Enzo wasn't looking at him, and neither was Violet, so he could only assume that they knew, and he hadn't. She didn't tell him.

Dr. Fell looked to everyone in the room. "I'm going to have to take her dress off. If you guys can step just on the other side of the curtain, "she said, and Damon and Enzo moved behind the curtain. Enzo kept his eyes down at the ground. He didn't want to talk to Damon about this. This was something Bella needed to talk about with him

After a few moments, Dr. Fell said that it was okay for them to return. Bella was wearing a hospital gown now, but she was still passed out. The pain had to be great. Damon kept running everything over and over in his head. She refused pain medication, and Enzo stopped him from giving her his blood to heal her. How could this be real?

"Okay," Dr. Fell said and rolled a wand over Bella's belly and everyone looked at the screen, waiting to see the confirming results. "Look's like she's probably 5-6 weeks. Oh, well. There are two sacks, and two fluttering little hearts." She said and pointed to the screen. Damon was looking at the screen in awe, there was a baby, or babies in there. He looked back at Bella, his hand reached up and stroked her hair out of her face.

Dr. Fell put the wand away and then took the printed picture and handed it to Damon. "I'm assuming you're daddy. The heart rates are great. I'm going to go ahead and get that x-ray of her hand. I can assure you that we can protect the babies from the x-ray." She stood and left to find one of the nurses to help set up for a x-ray.

Damon stared down at the picture of the two little blips that Bella was carrying. Violet and Enzo looked at each other before looking back at Damon. He wasn't speaking or getting angry. He was just staring, with a look of shock still on his face.
