The next morning, Elena woke up with the need to throw up. She ran to the bathroom threw her hair back and let it out. She felt her hair being pulled back by someone as she threw up. They rubbed her back and soothed her.

She sat back embarrassed because she knew who it was. She didn't know how to explain it to him but she was going to try. "What's wrong, babe?" Stefan asked moving behind her and leaning her against his chest.

Elena sniffed as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I probably ate something weird last night." She said. "It's no big deal." She told him.

He didn't believe her. "You're crying, baby girl." He said softly. "It is a big deal." She started crying harder.

She wiped her tears away even though more were going to come out. "I can't tell you right now." She sobbed.

Stefan was confused. "What do you mean you can't tell me?" He asked a little upset. Elena kept crying.

"I just can't." She said and got up from the ground and walked away. Stefan was left on the floor by the toilet his girlfriend just threw up in. He got up slowly to go follow her. He walked from the bathroom through the doorway that connected to her bedroom and she wasn't there.

He walked into the kitchen and she had just put the note down that Katherine and Bonnie left saying that they were going to get breakfast. She was wiping her tears still but popped a piece of gum in her mouth probably because she didn't want puke breath. "What's going on, Elena?" He asked softly.

Elena sniffed and shook her head. "I told you already. I can't tell you right now." She told him.

Stefan scoffed and raised his voice. "What the hell do you mean you can't tell me?" He asked. This threw Elena off guard because he raised his voice. They never got into an argument like that yet. But Elena could feel it coming.

She looked at him in the eye. "It's just not something I can tell you right now." She said with slight anger and annoyance. "But I can tell you that I'm fine."

Stefan put his hands up with his palms facing upward as he asked again. "What does that mean, Elena? What does it mean that you can't tell me right now?" He asked with his voice still raised.

Elena was getting upset and angry now so she raised her voice too. "There is nothing to tell right now!" She practically yelled. "I was telling you that I'm fine and you keep insisting that I'm not! It could have been something I ate last night that I threw up! It's not a big deal, Stefan!" She yelled.

Stefan was confused. "Last night you could barely look me in the eye and talk to me for more than two minutes and today you are throwing up and crying and I don't know what the hell is going on, but it kind of seems like a big deal to me!" He exclaimed as he started to yell too.

Elena rolled her eyes. "But I told you I was fine, Stefan! Why can't you just take that as it is and leave me alone?" She asked. They had no idea that Katherine and Bonnie had come back and were standing in front of the elevator listening. Out of nowhere, Damon and Matt show up too. They were confused and Damon pointed to where he heard the yelling voices and looked at Bonnie and Katherine questioningly and they just nodded.

Stefan furrowed his brows. "I don't know, maybe because I'm your boyfriend, Elena and I want to make sure you're really are okay!" He yelled. "How is it so hard to think about that for a second?" He exclaimed. "We are supposed to talk to each other and you shutting me out and practically ignoring me is the complete opposite!" He yelled.

Elena wiggled her lips as tears started to burn her eyes again. "Just go, Stefan. Obviously you don't believe me that I'm fine so you can just go if your not going to listen to me." She exclaimed and put her hand up like she was just done with everything.

Stefan rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll go." He said angrily and completely ignored his friends and brother standing there and went down the staircase. Damon and Matt quickly followed and Bonnie and Katherine rushed to Elena. Her head was in her hands and she was sitting against the wall with her knees bent to her chest.

Katherine went on one side while Bonnie went on the other. "It's okay." Bonnie said rubbing her shoulder and putting her head on it.

Elena shook her head. "No it's not. Because I'm too freaking scared to tell him, I'm pushing him away and it isn't helping whatsoever." She sobbed.

Katherine hugged her tight with one of her arms. "You are just confused, it's fine if you need time, but you have to tell him that you aren't ready or something. Because if you don't he's just going to keep asking what's wrong and you guys will just keep fighting." She advised in a soft voice. "But also, I think you guys should calm down for a few days. Just let it settle, then go talk to him." She spoke again and put her head on her shoulder just as Bonnie did on the other side.

In front of the building, Damon and Matt finally caught up to Stefan and Damon stepped in front of him, grabbing his shoulders. He could see his eyes watering. "What the hell happened?" He asked urgently.

Stefan shrugged. "I don't know. She's not telling me something, but because I'm her boyfriend, I feel like I should know." He sighed.

"Well, maybe she's on her period and her hormones are getting the best of her. Like she knows it's not a big deal to tell you she's on her period, but because the hormones she thinks it is." Matt said. Stefan looked at him with what looked like a death stare. "So this isn't the time for comic relief? Okay." He said and backed away slightly.

Damon let go of his shoulders and looked at him in the eye. "I think you guys should let each other be for a little while. Obviously that got very heated and you guys should at least process it before you start to talk again." He told him. "It's your first big fight, right?" He asked. Stefan nodded. "Then just calm down. Take a few days. And then you guys need to talk." Damon said and patted his brother's shoulder. Stefan nodded again. "It'll be okay." Damon nodded and put an arm around his brother's shoulder and walked towards the cars.

The next day, Elena woke up realizing she had to go to work. She waited ten more minutes until she officially dragged herself out of bed. She walked into her closet and started picking out clothes. She decided to go with black skinny jeans and tansy top that laced up. She chose black, Steve Madden Bonelli wedges that tied around her ankle.

She was slow in getting dressed because she was not feeling up to doing anything today. First because she felt nauseous and also, she's been upset since yesterday about the stupid fight Stefan and her had. Elena wasn't being fair not telling the father that she is pregnant with his kid.

She grabbed her purse and keys off the counter and walked slowly over to the elevator. Elena pushed the button in the elevator lazily and watched the doors close. She backed up so she was leaning against the wall.

Elena held her purse by her knee with her finger wrapped around it holding it up. She felt so…dead. She probably had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep last night. Her phone rang in her hand but it took her a few seconds to bring her phone to her ear. Right as she did, she was walking out of the elevator because the doors opened showing the lobby. "Hello." She said into it.

Her assistant, Amanda's cheery voice appeared from the other side of the phone. "Hi." She said excitedly.

Elena opened the door to the parking garage and slightly smiled. "Hi," She said back not as excited.

On the other line, Amanda frowned. "What's wrong?" She asked just by the sound of her voice she knew something was up.

Elena unlocked white Range Rover Evoque SE SUV. "Just, trouble in paradise." She sighed as she got in. She switched the call to Bluetooth in the car and set her phone aside. "Are you at the store?" She asked as she buckled and hoped to change the subject.

"Yeah." She sighed. "What do you mean trouble in paradise? Is everything okay with Stefan?" She asked.

Elena rolled her eyes. "I don't know. He's just mad at me." She said.

"Do you know why he's mad at you?" She asked a little confused.

Elena tapped her fingers on the steering wheel as she slowed down because of the busy traffic that took over the streets of New York. "Yeah. I'm not telling him something that I know he should know but I'm too scared to tell him because I don't want to know how he's going to react." Elena told her.

Amanda hesitated to answer. "Well, you should tell him. No matter what it is. The longer you don't tell him the more mad he's going to get and that's going to create fights. Lots and lots of them." She sighed.

Elena was confused now. "How do you know? Are things bad with Brian?" She asked.

Amanda rolled her eyes. "Yeah. He's been acting weird lately and I don't know what's up so I snapped at him and we've been fighting." She said sadly.

Elena frowned. "Stefan and I had a heated fight yesterday. There was a lot of yelling. At one moment I wanted to slap him for not listening to me but I didn't." She said.

Amanda laughed softly. "I just don't know what's going on." She whispered. Elena pulled up in front of the store before answering.

"Well, I'm here, so we'll talk more inside." She said. Amanda replied with an okay and she hung up. Elena walked into her store to see Amanda behind the counter. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to talk because today turned out to be the busiest day ever and before they knew it; they both were tired and ready to go home.

That night, Stefan kept working. As soon as he got home he went straight to his office. Working put his mind in a different place, which was exactly what he needed.

Damon walked into his office and sat right in front of him. He smiled and stared at his brother who was typing away at his computer. Stefan stopped slowly and looked at Damon who was still staring. "Hi," He said.

Damon shifted so he could put his right leg over his left and lean back in the chair. "What's up?" He asked.

Stefan shrugs. "Just catching up on work." He says to his brother. Damon nodded. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

Damon smiled. "Just thought you could use some company." He says. "You doing okay?" He asked.

Stefan got a little frustrated. "No! I'm not okay!" He snapped at him. "I have been thinking about Elena all day, no matter how much I work and try and take my mind off of her, it's no use." He said leaning back in his chair.

Damon frowned and put his elbows on his knees and leaned on them. "I'm sorry, man," He said.

Stefan scoffed and stood up and turned his back towards Damon as he put his hands in his pockets and looked out of the window to the city. "You're not the one fighting with their girlfriend over something stupid." He said.

Damon sighed and stood. He thought about saying more but he ended up just walking out of his office and out of the building without a work back to him.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Elena was sitting on her couch staring straight ahead. She heard the elevator doors open but he didn't look up from her stare at the coffee table. "Elena?" She heard. She looked up when she heard the soft voice calling her name. Her mom, Miranda, was standing there confused.

Elena shot up from the couch and ran to her mom, tightly putting her arms around her neck. "Mom," She cried.

Miranda rubbed her daughters back as she noticed Elena started crying. "What's wrong, honey?" She asked with her beautiful, soft voice.

Elena closed her eyes tightly. "I'm pregnant." She blurted out as she cried. Miranda was stunned. "And I don't know how to tell Stefan and he's getting mad and frustrated because he knows I'm keeping something from him." She sobbed into her mothers shoulder.

Miranda took Elena over to the couch again because Elena needed to sit and she sure has hell did too. Her daughter was pregnant out of wedlock. Now, she wasn't going to disown Elena but she had the right to be surprised. "It's okay," she said, rubbing Elena's shoulder.

Elena shook her head. "It's not. He's the father and he has the right to know and we had a huge fight yesterday about it and Katherine told me not to talk to him for a little so we could both calm down, but I need to see him. I need to tell him that I'm carrying his baby." She cried.

Miranda lifted her daughter had off her shoulder and put both her hands on either side of her face and looked her straight in the eye. "You have every right to be scared and confused, Elena." She said and wiped the tears away with the pad of her thumb. "And whenever you want to talk to him, you can." She said.

Elena nodded and put her head back on her mom's shoulder. "I love you." She said tiredly.

Miranda smiled and nodded. "I love you too, honey." She said and lay back as she heard Elena yawn. "You can sleep." She said. Before she knew it, Elena was fast asleep on her and she had no way of escaping. She pulled her phone out of her purse that was next to her on the floor and texted Elena's father just to say she was staying the night at Elena's.

Miranda put her hand on Elena soft hair and softly rubbed it.
