I stayed in Stefan's embrace all night he didn't leave me and made sure I was okay but I knew that we'd have to face my parents and tell them that we weren't getting rid of this baby we wanted to keep it, we also had to talk with Damon as Stefan planned for me to live here with them but he had left early and we didn't get the chance
"So what do you want to eat" Stefan asked me looking in the fridge
"Bacon" I replied instantly I had been craving bacon a lot lately
"Is that a craving you don't usually eat bacon"
"I have needs Stefan" he laughed and grabbed some out of the freezer and defrosted the packet then started cooking the smell made me even hungrier
"LEXI IF YOU WANT FOOD GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED" he yelled and I laughed they were a couple of kids I swear its one of the reasons I used to love staying over here before all this mess happened as their behaviour made you laugh no matter how hard you tried not to
"ALRIGHT STEF" we heard her yell down the stairs and I laughed again
"What am I getting myself into" I muttered and watched him smile
"Shut it you and eat" he slid a plate full of bacon towards me, my mouth watered and I dug into it munching away like it was my last meal "Slow down you'll make yourself sick"
"This is actually a good morning I'd usually be throwing up by now" I replied chewing on my bacon sighing in happiness I could get used to this
"How long have you been throwing up for" he asked just as Lexi walked in already dressed and looking like she was ready for a fashion show
"Around two weeks" I replied closing my eyes relishing in the taste
"Gross do you have any pop tarts" Lex said rummaging through their cardboards
"No fresh out I can cook eggs" Stefan always did the cooking for both Damon and Lex when she stayed over which was almost every night
"Nope it's a low calorie day" she replied she was always worried about her weight then yelled out in triumph as she brought out Oreos and I laughed Stefan hid his Oreos from her
"I thought it was a low calorie day, stay away from my Oreos" he grabbed the packet but not before she grabbed three of them, I pushed my finished plate towards them and they both looked between me and the plate
"That was full when I walked in how did you eat that fast" Lex said laughing
"I'm pregnant and still hungry so shut it, you don't know what it feels like" Stefan laughed and put more on my plate
"You don't want to gain too much weight though" he said which made me glare at him and drop the bacon
"Wrong move Stefan" I heard Lexi mutter and sit down beside me
"It's all your fault if I do since you did this to me so if I get fat it's all because of you" I yelled and ran out of the kitchen
"I told you before no weight or sexual comments stupid" I heard Lexi say to him as he followed me, I ran up to his bedroom
"Elena I'm sorry you're not fat your beautiful still you just don't want to put on any extra weight aside from the baby weight"
"Just stop Stefan I get it I'm going to be a whale by the end of this"
"No that's not what I meant I just researched after Lex took you home yesterday and they say that you should only put on baby weight you will still be the beautiful girl I fell in love with if not more beautiful as your carrying my baby" I started crying happy tears and hugged him he sighed hugging me back I loved that he had researched into it for me it's cute how invested he is with this
"I love you" I yelled out and felt the tears flow down my cheeks
"There is no getting used to this" I laughed and apologised "It's okay you're just a little sensitive" I furrowed my eyebrows and saw him panic "No not sensitive I mean" I laughed again he was so cute when he got flustered
"Hey you two can we talk" we heard Damon ask from the doorway we nodded and sat down on the bed while he sat down on the chair by Stefan's bed "I've been to talk to your parents Elena" I wanted to scream at him that it wasn't any of his business but he held a hand up stopping any protests from us "Wait before you two scream at me, I told them that you're going stay with us throughout you're pregnancy Elena as I don't mind one bit" I sensed a really big but "But they want you two to consider adoption as they realised that abortion is wrong they regret making you consider that"
"No" Stefan replied before I could "They have no say in this were both almost eighteen and have a right to keep this baby which is what we want"
"Elena is this what you want" Damon asked me as they both turned to look at me I swallowed before answering certain that this is what I wanted
"Yes I don't want my baby just out there I want to keep them"
"Okay I'll support you's and help out as much as I can but Elena you need to tell your parents your decision you can live here as we have plenty of room if that is what you choose"
"Thankyou Damon" Stefan said hugging his brother
"Just know that this is going to be a huge responsibility for the both of you's you have to put this child's needs before yours and as much as I didn't want to be an uncle at twenty three I'm happy for you little brother and Elena" I hugged him as well
"It's younger brother Damon" Stefan replied
"We also have to let your school know if you want to continue going to school Elena"
"Do we have to" it wouldn't be long until the whole school knew by then
"Yes we do I know you'd rather avoid the rumours and stares but they need to know for your safety" I nodded and Damon arranged everything while I called home Stefan stayed with me for support
"Elena" my dad's brisk voice answered
"Hi dad"
"I'm guessing Stefan's brother has spoken to you"
"Yes he's talking to the school now, I wanted you to know that Stefan and I are keeping the baby"
"Are you crazy" he yelled and Stefan reached out for the phone but I held it out of his grasp
"No we aren't we don't want our child out there not knowing who we are, we know what we're doing dad and I hope one day you can accept our choice but for now I'm going to live here so I'll be by to pick up my stuff soon" I hung up without letting him reply and I cried against Stefan's chest
"They will come around Lena I'm sure, it is their first grandchild I know they probably wished the baby came later but they'll see we made the right choice" I nodded against his chest as I was getting sleepy even though I slept plenty last night
"You know I think that we should book in to see the doctor" I shook my head I really didn't want to see a doctor I hated them ever since I was little "We have to eventually, got to make sure our little one is okay" I shook my head again "Elena I know your scared of them but we have to make sure"
"Later I'm tired"
"I didn't mean now we can schedule one for a later date but we should soon since we don't know exactly how far along you are and that's important" I sighed and finally looked up at him
"I'm scared that they'll tell us that I'm wrong" it was true I may not even be pregnant and I caused all this trouble over nothing
"Then we need to know we can't wait until you start showing" I sighed nodding against his chest "Have a nap and we can call later okay" he helped me under the covers then kissed my forehead
"Lay with me at least until I fall asleep" I needed him with me
"Of course" he laid down beside me and ran his fingers through my hair until I fell asleep
When I woke up later that day I had to run to the bathroom as my nausea returned, Stefan had left and wasn't here but must have heard me wake up as he ran into the bathroom quickly puling my hair back as I heaved into the toilet bowl, I kept going until there was nothing left to throw up then grabbed toilet paper and wiped my mouth siting back
"You okay" he asked and I shook my head then had to heave again "Elena" he held my hair back and rubbed my back until it stopped again "Is this normal" I nodded as I have dealt with this the last week and hid it from my parents "I'm sorry you went through this alone" I chuckled and stood up once I'm sure it passed then drank some water rinsing out my mouth
"It sucks" I replied finally able to form words and laid my head on his chest he was cool and warm at the same time
"I was coming up here to wake you and ask if you wanted something to eat but then heard you"
"I couldn't possibly eat anything" I replied shaking my head
"You need to eat something since I'm guessing you just lost all that bacon you had this morning"
"I'm fine although crackers sound good right now it might settle the nausea"
"Uh don't know if we have any I'll check if not I'll run to the store will you be alright with Damon" I nodded and wondered where Lexi went but she probably went home I went downstairs with him, they didn't have anything so he was going to the store and I had written out an entire list of things I wanted telling him to add whatever he wanted and Damon added a few things as well, being here when Stefan isn't it was weird but I was now living here which was just as weird
"So you domesticated Stefan in two days I'm impressed" I pinched my eyebrows together as I thought that was an insult but he was smiling "I always did the shopping it's about time he pitched in who knew it would take getting his girlfriend knocked up to do it"
"Gee thanks Damon glad me getting pregnant could help you" I replied I told you he was inappropriate
"I never thought my brother would be the one having a baby before me"
"It wasn't like we planned it" I replied grabbing a glass of juice and sat down next to him on the lounge he was watching some car show which didn't interest me in slightest
"I talked to your school explaining the situation they will want to talk to you on Monday before class and I suggest you two see a doctor before then just to confirm the pregnancy"
"Thankyou Damon you didn't need to do all this for us"
"Yeah I did it's my brother and you're family now" he elbowed me softly smiling and I felt myself tearing up that Damon thought of me as family even though I was just the girl carrying his brothers baby it still meant a lot considering everything going on with my own family
I saw Stefan walk in carrying shopping bags once he saw me he set them down and walked up to me brushing the tears away
"Are you okay what happened?" he asked me panicking
"Relax Stefan it's just the hormones" Damon said "You'll give yourself an aneurism before the kid is even born"
"What did you say Damon"
"It's nothing Stefan don't worry" I replied, he nodded going back to the kitchen putting away the food
I walked out to help him but he got it done before I even got there and was making sandwiches which did look appetising but we had to do this appointment thing before we went to school on Monday like Damon suggested and I'd actually like to know if I was actually pregnant even though I highly doubt I'm not as I have so many symptoms and hate to figure out that all of this was for nothing
"We should call the doctors, Damon already told the school and suggested that we should find out if I'm actually pregnant before school on Monday" I said sitting down at the breakfast bar
"Well were free now if you want to call and see if they have an appointment" I nodded and we rang the number of an ob-gyn who had an appointment available in thirty minutes, I got changed quickly and we got into Stefan's Porsche driving to the hospital
I was bouncing my leg nervously I was kind of hoping that we could put off the hospital visit even though I knew we couldn't as it'd be nice to know if I was actually carrying a baby I really hoped I was as I didn't want to have to admit to my parents that it was a misunderstanding and in truth I had gotten so use to it and love the idea of having a baby with Stefan
"Calm down please" Stefan spoke up and placed his hand on my knee stopping it bouncing
"Stefan what happens if I'm not pregnant we went through all this for nothing" I replied voicing my worries
"Then we deal with it later but for now let's focus on the appointment, Elena there is no point worrying about the what if's" I nodded and we parked I got out of the car and he held out his hand for me I grabbed it and smiled glad he was here with me as I wouldn't have been able to do this alone
We walked to the right part of the hospital and I saw multiple posters of pregnant women and there were even multiple heavily pregnant women waiting for their appointment which made me look away as we walked up to the desk
"Hi we called and they said they could squeeze us in today" the lady at the desk looked up at the sound of Stefan's voice and smiled she was clearly in her mid-twenties but that still didn't seem to stop her ogling him like hello I'm right here
"Name" she asked him smiling
"The appointment should be under Elena Gilbert" she finally looked at me as if only just noticing that I was here like duh he's in the maternity ward
"Yes here you are take a seat and the doctor will call you in shortly" we nodded and took a seat where I resumed bouncing my knee as seeing all these heavily pregnant women made me nervous and more frightened of this
"Elena" Stefan warned placing his hand on my knee again "Calm remember" I nodded and looked up at the desk as the lady was staring at Stefan from across the room
"You have an admirer" he followed my gaze and laughed
"Sorry cougars aren't my type" I laughed and it felt relaxing but I stopped when I saw a lady who looked like she was ready to pop staring at us with pinched eyebrows but smoothed them out when she caught me staring back at her
"Sorry I don't mean to be rude and stare but you two look so young how old are you" she asked and I looked down
"Uh almost eighteen" Stefan replied for us and she looked away and didn't say anything else as she got called in she stood so awkwardly that her partner had to help her stand "I guess that's my future in six or so months"
"Thanks Stefan way to give a girl self-esteem issues" I replied and he laughed
"You don't need to worry about your self-esteem you'll always be beautiful to me"
"Elena Gilbert" a nurse called and I sighed then stood up walking with Stefan into a room where they took my weight, height and asked me the embarrassing but necessary questions like when my last period was and my symptoms then took a quick blood sample which I hated and had to look away as they stuck the needle in "Okay a doctor will be with you shortly" we nodded and Stefan grabbed my hand when I started looking around wildly at the posters and displays they had me feeling very overwhelmed by them
"Just breathe Lena"
"Okay Elena, I'm Dr. Alver I see in your charts your period is two weeks late and you've taken three home pregnancy tests which came back positive" I shook her hand and told her that's right "And I'm guessing this is the possible daddy"
"Yes I'm Stefan Salvatore" they shook hands and she prepped some equipment then spun back around to face me
"Okay Elena I need you to change into this gown and if you could pee into this cup I can do a more reliable test then we'll go from there" I nodded an she showed me to the bathroom, I drank some water then peed into the cup which was gross then changed into the hospital gown going back into the room where she got me to take a seat on the table and grabbed a white stick which she put into my urine sample then waited a couple of minutes which were hell on me I kept looking up at Stefan for reassurance "Pink means pregnant" she held up the stick and I saw a pink end "Congratulations you are pregnant" I nodded and breathed in and out calming myself down
