Stefan POV
"Lena?" I walked slowly into the kitchen afraid but desperate to know what was wrong.
I saw Elena sitting on the floor of the kitchen with her hands in her face, crying.
I immediately flitted to her side, rubbing her back and cupping her face in my hands.
"Lena, what's wrong?" I asked.
"I-m nn-ot su-re I ccc-an ddo this. I dd-on't kkn-ow hh-ow." She choked out.
So she wasn't the only one who was paranoid. Thank god.
"Oh Elena, don't stress. Please. I'm don't know how to do this either but I promise you that we will be the best parents ever, even though we have no clue how to do this. We have another month and half to figure this out, okay?" I reassured her, wiping tears from her cheeks.
"How do you always know the right thing to say?" She asked smiling.
"The benefit of existing for 163 years" I replied helping her off the floor.
"You know how hard it is to move around these days? Even to get off the couch is a struggle." She laughed.
"I'm sorry, that's my fault." I joked picking her up bridal style.
"I didn't mean it that way, I just meant that, I can't see my feet anymore and by back and feet are constantly sore but having such an amazing fiancee whose presence makes the pain go away." She complimented.
"Mmm... well, I have a few ideas that you could do with your fiancee after our bath." I teased.
"Sounds good." She smiled.
We were in the bath for god knows how long. Talking about all things wedding and baby. Us. In two weeks, we would be Mr and Mrs Salvatore and in just over a month, a family.
"So, baby names, crunch time" Elena suggested lacing her fingers through mine, rubbing her stomach, feeling little one kick.
"I think, little one agrees too, he or she wants a name too." I laughed.
"I have an idea for a girl - Lexi but I have no ideas yet for a boy. You?"
"Lexi? Why Lexi?"
"Well, she was your best friend and she was the one who convinced me that it was okay to be scared and made me realise my true feelings for you"
"Well, thats quite a reason, so what about for a boy?" I asked kissing her neck.
"Like I said, I haven't come across any names that I like yet, you?"
"Well, I haven't really thought about it but I've always like the name Angus."
"Angus? I like it."
"Angus and Lexi, it is then"
"So, whats the plan for tomorrow, Mr. Sexy?"
"Well, firstly may I say, you are making it awfully difficult for me to restrain myself in here."
"Haha very funny, so your attracted to a walrus?"
"Miss Elena Gilbert, how many times do we have to go over this, you are the most beautiful woman in the world and once again, like I said on several occasions throughout the years, especially on our vacation at the beach and at the lakehouse, never ever doubt that!"
"Stefan Salvatore, do you know how much I love you?"
"I wasn't aware, no but when we're finished here, you could show me."
"That sounds so promising, why don't we finish up here, right now then?"
I got up and out of the bath, wrapped a towel around my waist then helped Elena out.
"So where were we?" Elena questioned.
As I leaned in to kiss her, the door bell rang.
"Dammit. You stay here and I'll be back in a sec" I said speeding to the door. Who would be knocking on the door at this hour that we didn't know?
I opened the door to see the face of a little girl around the age of five, tears streaking her face.
"Please help me, I'm lost" she cried.
I got down to her level. "What are doing out here at this time of night?" I asked.
"I was playing hide and seek outside with my friends and they nearly found me, so I ran and then I couldn't find my way back home." She whimpered wiping her nose and eyes.
"What's your name?"
"Mollie"
"Mollie, thats a pretty name, I'm Stefan, would you like to come inside?"
"Yes please" she cried, wrapping her little arms around my neck and hugging me.
I gently picked her up, shifting her weight to one side, shutting the door and heading into the kitchen.
Elena POV
That bath was amazing, I thought. The wedding was coming up fast. I couldn't wait to be married to Stefan, to be a family. I had everything I had ever wanted.
Thank God, Stefan opened up to me about him being as nervous as I was about being a parent, now that we both knew how we felt, we could handle this together, like we did everything.
I dried off my hair some, got dressed into my yoga pants and one of Stefan's tops and headed downstairs, I heard the voice of what sounded like a young girl, surely a young girl wouldn't be out at this time of night.
"Stefan, who was at the door?" I asked walking down the hallway towards the kitchen.
As I walked into the kitchen I saw Stefan standing at the kitchen bench wiping the tears and dirt from a little girl's face, she couldn't have been more than five or six.
I watched mesmerised, how well Stefan bonded with a little girl he had only just met. He would definitely make a great dad.
"Who's this?" I interupted.
"This is Mollie. Mollie this is my fiance Elena." He introduced.
"Hi Mollie, what brings you here?"
"Well, I was playing hide and seek wif my fwends and I ran from them and then I saw your house so I came here for help"
"Well, would you like to call your mom and dad?"
"Yes pwease"
Stefan helped her off the bench and flitted to get the phone. Before I knew it he was back with an arm around my waist.
"What's your mom or dad's number"
"uhh I think its 765-959-4327"
Stefan dialled the number.
"Hello?" I faintly heard on the recieving end.
"Yeah, Hi this is Stefan Salvatore, I believe your daughter is Mollie?"
"Oh my god, we have been looking everywhere for her, is she with you?"
"Yes she came and knocked on mine and my fiance's door, looking for help, our house is near Wickery Bridge - the boarding house."
"Yes we'll be there right away"
"So your mommy and daddy will be here soon"
"Thank you. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" We both replied in unison getting down to her level.
"Um... well... are you having a baby?"
"I am" I smiled.
"Your very pretty too"
"Thank you Mollie. Would you like to feel the baby?"
"Ohh. Can I?"
"Sure"
She slowly walked over to me and placed her chubby little hand onto the top of my stomach.
She quickly flinched and pulled her hand away as the baby kicked the spot where she had put her hand.
"Did you feel the baby?"
"Yeah that was so cool, fankyou"
After ten mintutes of the three of us conversing, the door bell rang.
It was Mollie's mother, extremely thankful for looking after her and insisting she repay us somehow but we refused.
As Stefan closed the door behind Mollie an her mother, he smiled.
"You were amazing with her"
Blood rushed to my cheeks causing me to blush.
"You really think? I thought you were. It's such an attractive quality of yours, being good with children"
"Yes, truly amazing. You know what else is attractive, you, especially you pregnant"
"I think this could be continued upstairs.." I remarked walking towards him.
"My thoughts exactly" He smiled, lifting me up and flitting up to the bedroom.
