The two weeks we waited for our results were hell but we got the good news there was nothing wrong with our baby I was worried over nothing but at least I knew now and I could just focus on our baby instead of finding doctors and learn how to care for a special needs kid
I was now twenty four weeks and looked huge already even though Stefan said otherwise I knew he was just saying that so that I didn't get angry or upset as my emotions haven't settled at all and I found myself getting angry or crying over the stupidest things
We pulled up at school and I noticed a lot of people looking at me hoping to get a second look at me as it was obvious that I was pregnant now and no baggy clothing was going to hide my bulging belly but it didn't bother me as much as I was happy that Stefan and I are starting our family
I was sitting in history paying attention to Ric when I found myself dozing as the baby has been keeping me up this last couple of weeks with its constant moving around and I eventually must have fallen asleep on my desk because Ric's and Stefan's voicing were calling me back to the land of the living
"Huh" I answered groggily
"Elena you need to be awake otherwise you will never pass finals" I nodded as I knew that but it was hard when you have a baby that loves to party as soon as I go to bed
"I know Ric I'm trying but this baby loves to play when I go to bed" I replied as Stefan grabbed my books
"I know it's hard for you dealing with being pregnant and school is a lot at once I'll try and help you out and Stefan can tutor you"
"Of course anything to help Elena graduate" we left and walked to my locker so that I could put my books away "Elena maybe you should talk with Mr Phillips about seeing if you can graduate early you're putting way to much stress on yourself with the baby and school"
"He'd never go for it Stefan he made it clear that I have to complete all my units, I'll be fine I promise I'll just go to bed earlier as the baby usually settles within a couple of hours" we were taking our final exams in two weeks and I was nervous as I couldn't afford not to pass and graduate
Our final exams took a lot of energy out of me as I was studying most of the afternoon when we got home, going to bed earlier so that I could get some sleep and hoped I did as well as I thought I did as this determined whether I graduated in three weeks they were so nerve racking it wasn't funny that I was so relieved when they were finally over
"So how you'd go" Stefan asked once we got home
"I don't know I hope I pass because it's my only chance" he nodded understanding
"Alright come on you finally don't have to study so we can go and do something we need to do" he stood up and held out his hand for me
"Stefan now's not the time to have sex" we haven't had sex in a month as I've other been so tired or busy studying
"I wasn't implying we have sex we have a nursery to build and fill with furniture" I smiled and took his hand going back to his car where we drove to Target and Babies R us
We brought a crib, changing table, bassinet for our room where the baby will sleep for the first couple of months at night as it will be easier, cot linen, blankets , a pram that had all the best features that was ages 0-12, a car restraint that could be removed from the car and made it easier to transport, baby sling, baby bath and we also grabbed a baby bag I know this was going to all cost a fortune and I felt bad that Stefan paid for it all as I didn't have much money but Damon allowed him to tap into his inheritance which made me feel even worse as that money was his even though he assured me he'd wanted nothing else to spend it on than his baby
We moved onto the baby clothes area and picked out a few onesies, day clothes and warm jackets keeping them gender neutral for now we will come buy more when the baby's born but we had enough to last us a few weeks and I would wash and reuse clothes which goes against Lexi's wear once rule that I never followed anyway and they were for a baby
By the time we got home I was exhausted we had the bigger stuff delivered to the house so they should arrive in the next few days, we took all the bags to our room since we didn't have a nursery set up or even an idea of what room we were going to have as the nursery
When we walked upstairs I could smell paint which had me curious but Stefan was smiling and led me to the room closest to the stairs leading to his room, I walked into the room to see Damon busy painting the room a light green colour it looked great and I felt tears roll down my cheeks
"Damon it looks great"
"Stefan brought the paint a few days ago and we picked this room as it seemed the most convenient as its directly in between our bedrooms now you've seen it you shouldn't be in here the paint fumes will harm the baby" I hugged him but then I grabbed my stomach as it tightened like a contraction but it's too early
"What is it" Stefan said running over
"Nothing" the baby was kicking and I didn't feel another so I must have been those Braxton hicks I read about "Were fine just kicking me in the ribs" I replied rubbing my stomach the baby is fine I kept telling myself that
"You gave your dad a heart attack" Stefan replied and put his hands on my belly he loved talking to our baby and feeling them kick I saw Damon looking over at us
"You guys are so cute one happy family"
"Oh come on Damon" I flicked my head towards my belly and came over and put a hand on my belly feeling my baby kick
"I think we have the new football player in the family" I rolled my eyes then left as I needed a nap there was way too much happening today that it was draining my energy, so while I napped Stefan helped Damon
When I woke up a little bit later I walked into the nursery I was breathless at the sight of Stefan and Damon covered head to toe in light green paint but the walls is what caught my eyes
"Stefan, Damon it looks amazing" I startled them and laughed
"You weren't supposed to see yet it's not done" Damon replied
"I don't care I love it" I went to kiss Stefan but decided against it because he was covered in paint
"What no kiss" Stefan said noting my step back from him and he turned mischievous I knew what he was about to do
"Stefan don't this is a nice outfit" I said but it was too late he hugged me and put paint all over my dress and jacket so I grabbed his brush and put a blob onto his face and hair
"You know this means war"
"What no I was just getting you back" I tried to run but he was quickly grabbing my waist from behind and lifted me off the ground
"Stef please don't" I got paint all down one side of my face as his answer so I picked up another brush and went down the other side of his face and next thing I know were in an all-out paint fight both covered in paint when it's finished
"Now that you're done painting each other Stefan a little help here" Damon said still painting the walls
"Don't shower without me" Stefan whispered in my ear
"You expect me to walk around like this" I replied gesturing down my body
"No I expect not I will be with you shortly" he said going over and finishing the wall while I went towards our bathroom and hopped into the shower washing my hair twice to get the paint out I then hopped out getting into tracksuit pants and one of Stefan's shirts before sitting on the bed
"You showered without me" Stefan whined as he came into view and walked into the bathroom having the quickest shower I have ever seen him take and came out of our closet dressed in his pyjama shorts and shirtless all clean of paint
"I couldn't sit down covered in paint I'm sure you survived" I replied lying down and closing my eyes after a long day
"Still tired" I nodded my head as he climbed into bed then started kissing me and pulling me towards him "I love you"
"I love you more" I replied straddling his waist and kissing him as I couldn't help myself
"Love you way more" he said moving his hands up my sides but I pushed them down and sat up so we weren't kissing and decided to tease
"You got sex last month"
"Exactly I want you" he whined
"Nope"
"Yesss" he whined pulling me back down to kiss him but I move my head to the side causing him to kiss my cheek "Please Em"
"Nooooo" I whined mocking him
"Elena are you mocking me"
"Maybe" I giggled as he started kissing my neck
"I will make it feel amazing" he replied all husky and god he could seduce me just with his voice so I grabbed the waistline of his pants and tugged down making him smile at me knowing he had won so he started helping me discard his pants and I quickly took my pants and underwear off before coming back down on top of him taking his full length "Oh I like this better"
"Just shut up" I replied moving on top of him supporting myself by placing my hands on his chest and pushing up and down his length I felt him grab my waist and joined me with each movement so I lifted my shirt off because I hate wearing clothes and then continued on top feeling myself build with each thrust we made together until I came with him and collapsed on top of him with him still inside if me riding out his orgasm while being careful of our precious cargo
"You're always feisty when you're on top" Mood killer Stefan strikes again
"Way to kill the mood Stefan"
"Sorry" he kissed my forehead pulling the blankets up over us and wrapped an arm around my waist before reaching down and pulling out of me and I winced "Did that hurt"
"It's been a while since I was on top" I muttered because I know it bothers him every time he hurts me
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be Stefan after almost two years you still panic and apologize every time you hurt me even the slightest bit I'm fine"
"I know it's a habit I suppose but it's because I don't like to hurt you"
I rolled off of him carefully shaking my head and turned away from him on my side but he snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me to his chest
"I love you"
"Love you too" I muttered before slowly letting myself fall asleep
