Elena POV

The wedding was fast approaching, everythig was organised. Apart from my dress and the bridesmaids dresses, I'd been so preoccupied with trying to be stress free and organising everything else, it hadn't crossed my mind.

Bonnie and Caroline had begged me to go shopping with them. We decided to go to Richmond, there was heaps of Bridal Stores there apparently, they had mapped out every store that we had to visit.

The doorbell rang, was it already 11? I wasn't even out of my pyjamas. "Elena, your not even dressed yet?" Caroline whined. "Sorry I lost track of time, I'll be ten minutes." I said heading up stairs. How was I going to buy a wedding dress that would still fit in two weeks, when I was expanding by the day? Somehow it would work. Stefan had gone tux hunting for the day with Damon, surprisingly. They wouldn't be home for hours if Damon had anything to do with it.

We arrived in Richmond, the first store Caroline and Bonnie dragged me through was amazing, I couldnt believe the size of it. The first floor was wedding dresses and the second floor was bridesmaids and flowergirls. This was going to take us a while. I sat and watched as Bonnie and Caroline paraded around the changerooms like models in at least fifty different dresses.

"Elena, this one is so elegant and afterwards you cant shorten it and wear it again, don't you reckon?" Caroline asked as she and Bonnie posed in a vintage purple dress that flowed from the waist to the ground.

"I think we found our dresses" I laughed after what seemed like eternity looking at bridesmaids dresses. And we still had to find my dress, this day was going to be long. It had only been two hours and my feet and back were already screaming at me. Great.

We headed downstairs and was greeted by a Sales Assistant, "So which one of you is the bride?" She asked. "That'd be me" I smiled slightly raising my hand. "Were you looking for type of dress inparticular?". "Well something, that can accomodate to this" I smiled placing my hands on my bump.

"Well, your in luck, we just received our new maternity line last week" she said pointing to a rack in the corner "If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask."

We had been lookingfor hours when we finally found the dress.

It was beautiful, a vinatgesque crepe satin and chantilly lace gown, long sleeves with button detail, a cut out back with lace embellishments, it was perfect. It just had to fit.

"Omg, Elena its amazing. Stefan will faint, you look that beautiful." Bonnie squealed.

I looked over to Caroline, tears streaming down her face. "Your so pretty Elena, the wedding is going to be perfect." She said.

"Well, that was easier than I expected, so pay for these, then lunch?" I asked.

Bonnie and Caroline dropped me home at 4, we'd been shopping since 11:30. To say I was exhausted was an understatment.

"Hey Beautiful" Stefan greeted me with a kiss, as I walked through the front door.

"Hi" I said reaching up on my toes, wrapping my arms around his neck and returning the kiss.

"Mmm, how was your day?" He asked rubbing my side.

"Great, we go everything we needed at the first store we went to then grabbed some lunch but I'm so tired, my feet and back are screaming at me, I'm just tired of being tired." I replied my voice breaking.

"Oh, Lena. If you felt like that why didnt you say anything, they would have understood." He comforted me putting his hands to my cheeks and stroking them. "Why dont I run us a bath?" He asked picking me up bridal style and placing me on the couch, "then after our bath, I'll give your feet and back a rub whilst you relax, but whilst your waiting I'll get you some ice-cream." he smiled.

"How am I so lucky to be with someone as amazing as you?" I smiled.

"Because, Elena Gilbert you are the most amazing person I have ever met, your beautiful inside and out, extremely selfless, kind, warm and to be honest when I'm with you I forget what I am" He smiled.

I blushed "I love you so much."

He came back in with a big bowl of my favourite cookies and cream ice-cream and headed upstairs.

Stefan POV

As I walked upstairs I thought about how lucky I was at this point in my existence. We had survived Klaus and the originals, I was engaged to the love of my life who is carrying our child - our little miracle. How did I become so lucky? After everyhting that has happened, how did life become so perfect?

In a month and a half, I would be a father, Elena a mother, we would be parents.

Shit. How was I supposed to do this? I have no clue how to be a dad. No. Don't freak out, put on a brave face for Elena, she's probably just as scared as you.

I put on the bath and went downstairs to get Elena. As I walked down the stairs I heard a quiet sob, "'Lena? Everything okay?"
