Okay, here's the next chapter. I loved writing this fluffyness. Part of what I've been dying to get to! Loveee Delena :))) Hope you guys enjoy this.

Around two of these sweet nothings had passed and Elena found herself enjoying the married life. Mr. Salvatore had agreed to let Maria and two other servants come stay at the boarding house to aid his son and his new daughter-in-law. Elena didn't mind, as having Maria around was a treat. The woman was teaching her how to do more things expected of women in this time, which Elena greatly apreciated. She could now cook a variety of meals, all of which Damon had enjoyed, and also was learning different customs, in speaking, table manners, hostess duties, tea parties, and just how to function daily. Maria was very perceptive. Almost as if she knew Elena didn't know some of these things, though the woman never asked or commented.

She had also began to teach Elena different tricks and habits in raising children. She wasn't sure if this was just the next part of the courses, or if Maria has guessed, what Elena had yet to tell anyone. Though at this point, there was no denying it. She was pregnant, two missed monthly cycles, and slight nausia had proven it. Not to mention the small but slightly noticable pudge that was now on her belly.

She didn't know if she wanted to be happy or scared. Estatic or worried. But she knew that she needed to tell Damon. Tonight, she told herself, I'll tell him tonight. He was gone mostly during the day, as his experience in the army had landed him a job on what could be considered the town's judicial system. Not too much work, as the town was small, but it paid well, and he seemed to enjoy it, so Elena was happy for him.

Maria agreed to help her with dinner, though Elena didn't tell her why she was making the baked mango-chili-chicken with greens and sweet dinner rolls, Damon's favorite meal. It came out perfect, and she had it practically waiting on the table when he walked through the door.

"Smells amazing," he complimented, as Elena walked up to greet him. He kissed her long and slow. After a moment she pulled away.

"I know it's a bit early for dinner, but I thought we could turn in early tonight?" He caught the wicked gleam in her eye and smiled.

"Anything you want, Sweetheart."

She grinned back, leading him to the table.

He told her about work and she told him of her day, a routine they'd fallen in the few weeks. She was surprised to learn however, that the town was still suspicious of vampires, though the attacks had been fewer lately. Maybe Katherine was finally getting smart in that department, and hunting outside of town.

"It'll all pass soon." Damon assured her, noticing her distanted look.

"I'm sure it will." She agreed easily, standing to take thier empty plates to the kitchen. She returned quickly before silently grabbing Damon's hand and leading him up the stairs.

Once they were in the room, she shut the door, but didn't head for the bed as Damon had assumed. Instead, she went to the window. The last of the setting sun was splaying in through the open drapes and it casted an orangish haze on her face. She closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth from the light. She felt the pair of arms slip around her waist, and she leaned back into his firm chest. They stood there as the moments passed, just loving the company and touch of the simple act. Finally, with a sigh, Elena drew the drapes closed around the windows and turned to Damon. He'd made his way to the bed, stripping down to just his trousers on the way. It was truly a sight she'd never get enough of. She slid off her own dress,tossed on a silk nightgown with straps and crawled into bed. Damon imediately opened his arms for her, and she rested in his embrace. As close as their bodies were she could feel his desire,as it pressing against his jeans. She wasn't surprised when only a moment later, he was laying kisses on her. Moving them so she was more under him, than next to him. She let him explore her body for a minute, before pulling him back up to her. He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before leaning back for an explaination of why she stopped him.

She smiled, knowing how happy he was about to be. Children in early marriage years were common in this time, even expected and yearned for, so why wouldn't he be happy?

"I love you, Damon." He kissed her neck again.

"I love you too, Elena, more than anything." He murmmured against her skin, dragging his tongue down the dip of her collarbone.

"Damon, there's something you need to know."

"Okay," he answered, continuing with his kisses, back up her neck and on her jawline.

"Damon." She pulled his face away from her body, looking him in the eye.

He smirked, "Yes, Elena?"

She reached out for his hand, and placed it on her stomache.

"Damon." She repeated, softer this time.

He seemed confused for a moment, then his face cleared, as it dawned on him.

His eyes moved to her practically bare stomache, and ran his hand over the barely noticable bump.

Then his eyes met hers again. "You're pregnant?" He asked in clarification.

"Yes, Damon, we're going to have a baby." She assured him, measuring the look on his face, and feeling relieved when it broke into a smile.

"Elena..." without any other words he kissed her. Not hungrily like before, but in pure joy. Then he pulled her against his side, his arms wrapping snuggly around her.

"I love you," he stated again, and she giggled.

"I love you too."

"How far along are you?" he asked excitedly.

"I'm not entirely sure," she answered, "But I think i was already a few weeks along at the wedding. I'd missed my first monthly cycle by then. I've just started the morning sickness though, so I'm not three months quite yet."

"Is the sickness bad?" He wondered, worried for her as usual.

"Not unbearable," she assured him, "Just annoying."

He chuckled a little at that. "This is wonderful, Elena. I wish you knew how happy you have made me, ever since I met you."

She blushed a little before kissing him. "I'm just returning the favor Damon."

He kissed her again, before asking more questions about the baby, the pregnancy, and what to expect. There was a lot of talking done that night, and not much else, but that was perfectly fine with her.

Elena was happier now than she felt she had the right to be. She was married to the love of her life, and was carrying his child. With luck, Katherine would leave soon, and the vampire rumors would simply become that, rumors. Life would be the way it was suppose to be. And as she placed a kiss on her now sleeping husbands cheek, before curling up to join him, she knew she didn't want her life to be any other way.

Sweet, sweet, love :) So now Damon knows, and everyone's happy. This was a great conclusion, but bowwowwow...the story yet continuues! Though the next chapter is going to skip forward a few years. It is not an Epilogue, as there is another twist coming up! What will baby Delena be like? Boy or girl? Will she have more children? Can Elena keep the life she's chosen? What if another force throws everything off balance? Will she lose her family all over again? Tell me your opinions :)))
