Part 14
Damon found himself drowning in bottles and bottles of bourbon at The Sinisters. He ordered more bottles for himself everytime he drank all of it.
"Oh man, you're wasted" sighed one of the bartender as he scanned him.
"I am, so how do you feel when you finds out that you're about to be a father?" he tried to talking through his hiccups.
"Is that what happened? Seriously man, you need to leave. I'll call the cab"
"No not before you answer me. Cmon, what do you think of some guys bonding?" He smirked.
"Well, since I don't have much costumers, I'll answer you're question", he took a seat at the stool next to Damon, "I'll feel happy. Hell, I'll feel ecstatic. Having a nice girl and a baby were a complete package. You can't just throw it all away. Especially when you love her enough to raising and caring for the child with her"
"Do you...do you think so?" Damon cleared his throat.
"Oh I know so, my girlfriend just gave birth to my baby girl two months ago. The day I could hear her and see her was indeed the best day of my life. And I'm not exaggerating, if that's what you're gonna say"
"I have to go, now"
"Well, good luck with your life, man"
He was just two steps away when he turned around to see the bartender, "But what if I haven't say I love her?"
"Well, do you?"
"I do, so much"
"Just tell her that"
"What if she doesn't forgive me? I said something really bad to her"
"Just try, man. You don't wanna lose your chance" Damon nodded and leave, "Hey do you want me to call a cab?" He shouted but he wasn't sure if Damon could hear him.
Stefan and Caroline was just fell asleep two hours ago when someone banging their door loudly.
"Ugh..Stefan make it stop. It hurts my head" Caroline whined and turning.
"No, you make it stop. I'm tired" Stefan said sleepily.
"Stefan, you're the man. Open it"
"Fine fine, you're bossy little thing" He got up and slowly walk to the door.
He surprised himself as he saw his big brother figure with red eyes and black circles in both eyes, his raven hair were stuck up in all directions, he smelled like bourbon and cheap taxi leather seat.
"Damon? What are you doing here?" Stefan rubbed his eyes and look at the clock on his desk, "In the middle of 4.46 a.m? seriously go bother someone else's life"
"I need your help, you and Blondie. It's important" He pleaded with his eyes.
"After what you did to Elena, you're expecting me to help you? No chance in hell!" Suddenly caroline stood beside his little brother with rage in her blue eyes, hand on her waist.
"Please, please Blondie. Stefan tell you're Lady it's important"
"Damon, what you did was over the boundaries. You hurt her even when you promised you were never gonna hurt her"
"When did I say that?"
"Almost every night in your sleep, I heard you"
"Yes, and I want to apologize. I was overstep and I realized that. Please Stefan I'm begging you"
This was new to Stefan because his whole life he never see or hear his brother begging to anyone. Even to their mother.
"Please Stefan, Caroline I'm begging you please"
"Okay Damon we'll help you. But if I hear you overstep again I'll hunt you down and kill you myself"
"If I hurt her again I prepared the stake and torch myself, thanks Blondie, lil bro" He grinned and left the lovebird standing.
Over the week Elena realized that she hadn't been eating more than four spoons of her mom home made macaroni and cheese, even she missed Bonnie's black forest. She knew it was hurting herself and the baby but she couldn't help herself recalling the day where she saw Damon that mad, his blue eyes filled with surprised and rage, she would do anything to wipes off the rage. She couldn't blame Damon for being that way, she understand he was just scared like she did. But if just Damon be still and listened to her explanation it would feel less hurt.
"Hey Lena, brought you something" Stefan slowly made his way to Elena's bed and put something on her desk.
"Hey Stef, what is it?"
"I made you Budino di Cioccolato, Dam...eh, my brother said you like it. He's busy running the company with father. And I just wanna say I'm sorry he behaved that way" Stefan looked down and stiffened a little when he felt Elena's hand touch his.
"Stefan, thank you", she smiled, "It's okay you can call him his name"
"I don't know what came over him, he did have an issues about serious relationships...and baby"
"Baby?"
"It's not really my place to say, you should ask him. Some day" He gave her a reassuring smile, it touched his eyes. That's why Elena's like her best friend boyfriend, he was sincere. "And I heard from Caroline you haven't eat much lately, so I made you Spaghetti Bolognese in style of Stefan Salvatore. With extra chesse, don't worry Damon said at least four time you loved cheese" He smiled and put the box of his spaghetti on Elena's food tray.
"Thanks Stef"
She spent they day eating, talking and laughing with Stefan. He told her that actually Damon feel sorry but he didn't have time to come down himself, but he will soon. Elena definately missed Damon, his sweet side, his jerk side, his cocky side. I missed him.
Katherine's been running around the apartement when she heard someone knocking.
"What?" She hissed as she opened the door and saw police men standing in front of her.
"Ms. Gillbert, you under arrest of attempted murder of Elena Gilbert" The policeman, the tall one, pulled out his handcuff and tried to handcuff her hands, but she struggled.
"NO! No, you can't put me in jail! It was not my fault. NO!" She screamed as the police brought her downstairs.
"You have the right to stay silent and have your lawyer on the phone"
"Finally, a happy ending" Caroline smiled when she saw Katherine being interviewed in the precinct.
"Not really happy ending Care, Damon's still need to apologize" Stefan exclaimed.
"Well, yeah, but after that we have to find our own happy ending" She kissed Stefan on the lips and they walked out of the police station.
(3 hours before the arrested)
"Niklaus Mikealson have confessed, she told him what she wanted and him and his men were planning the whole 'accident'. We have to dig out some evidences to convince the DA , but this evidence is enough to our chief" Officer Clarks held up the e-mail that has been print by the police.
"Oh thank God, so this is finally over? And Elena could finally have a wonderful life without Katherine in it?" Caroline piped up.
The police station called Stefan thirty minutes ago to tell him that Klaus have confessed. He called Caroline, which the first thing he heard after he told her was the high pitched squeled, but he didn't mind. They decided to met at the police office.
"You can say that " Officer Clark smiled at them.
"So, what do we do now? Aside from you guys dig out some evidences" Stefan asked.
"We preparing the arrest warrant right now, after that we will go to the apartement. Niklaus said something about her being in there for days now"
"Oh my god, Miranda! She'll get hurt" Caroline's frowned.
"No, . My team have been watching her for days. They'll know if something happened to . In fact is still in the hospital."
"Oh, right thanks" She sighed with relief.
"Is there anything you wanna ask?"
"No, just please keep us updated" Stefan said as he and caroline got up, "thank you so much for your help Harper"
"My pleasure " He smiled and wave them goodbye.
"We should celebrate it Stef, don't you think?" Caroline said as they walking hand in hand on the roadside, "beside, Bonnie just text me that Elena could go home tomorrow, I'm thinking a very warm and big welcome back party"
"You know I couldn't say no to you" Stefan kissed the tip of her nose.
They were blocks away from the police station when someone called Caroline.
"Caroline? Stefan?" Miranda called unsure.
"Miranda, hey" Caroline's frowned and glance at Stefan who mimicked her with the frown.
"Where were you guys? We were busy convincing Elena to stay another day at the hospital but her stubborness won, so I could use a little hand to pack up her things you know" She teased.
"We...uh, we were just got back from..."Caroline stuttered, "Stefan where were we?"
"Uh, we were at ...uh at the police station" Caroline shot him daggers which Stefan returned with apologetic shrug.
"Police station? What is going on?"
"Miranda, it's really not my place to say but...it's Katherine. She, uh, she was the one who hit Elena. Well, not literally but she asked someone to do it"
"What the hell are you saying Care? Is this a joke? Stefan you're not an expert on lying games. What is really going on?" Miranda frowned made her look more older and tired.
" , it's true. Caroline and I knew about this like a couple of weeks ago. We told the police and they finally caught her. Katherine told Elena about this but she didn't have the heart to tell you because she didn't want you imprisoned Kat"
"Wha-? It's...you guys is this true?"
"It's okay now, you know. They arrested her and her little minions. You guys are safe now" Caroline reassured her.
"But, but why?" She loooked even more tired and older when she sighed and sit on one of the bench and caroline wrapped her arms around her shoulder.
"Damon was one of Kat ex, she found out that Elena and Damon's been seeing each other on dates and she didn't take it very well" Stefan said carefully.
"But she's the nice sister, not the mean one"
"I guess time did change our heart" Caroline sighed.
"Bonnie, you finished? Home, I wanna go home" Elena whined as she carefully stood up.
She couldn't really stood up but she tried and the doctor said it's fine for her to exercise stand with cast on her feet.
"Stop being a mean three years old. You did have a lot of clothes in here. Were you planning not to going home but to stay here as long as...you live? Whoa, you did have your own closet here" Bonnie chuckled with two big bags in her hands.
"My mom brought them, turns out she still wanted me to look pretty in hospital. In case I meet the cute nurse or if i'm lucky a cute doctor" She teased and Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"Maybe you'll meet cute doctor. But I'd believe that one guy have been captured your heart since what? 2 months ago?" Bonnie smiled fade away when she saw Elena's face, "God Lena, I didn't mean like that. I'm so sorry, hunny"
"It's okay Bon", she smiled weakly at her, "I can't believe myself either. It's been rough couple of months"
"It did, but it's called destiny. Don't you see Lena? You were meant to fell to each other arms the day you got fired, you were meant to be Katherine's step sister, and you were meant to be pregnant to realized that somehow along the way you found your one true love. Well, even though you're not really realized it yet" Bonnie winked.
"Hey, since when do you become so poetry? And where did judgy and pessimist Bonnie gone?" She chuckled.
"I guess you brother changed her point of view of life"
"Oh don't tell me your lovey dovey thing to me with my brother" She shook her head and Bonnie's laugh.
"Cmon, the-girl-who-doesn't-believe-in-destiny, let's go home" Bonnie helped her to her wheelchair and they both slowly walked out of the room.
"SURPRISE! WELCOME BACK ELENA GILBERT!"
Elena smiled her 10.000 watts smile to every single one people in her apartement. She noticed there were Caroline, Stefan, her mom, Anna with her mom Pearl from downstairs, Bonnie's friend Rose with her boyfriend Trevor, and the last man standing in the back of the crowd, Damon.
"Oh, I am so glad you're home! I can't wait for the girls night" Caroline hug her tightly which she returned gladly.
"I'm happy to be home too Care, hospital didn't do any good for me. Look at my skin"
"Your really really need Vaseline on that Lena. Don't worry I'll buy you some" caroline smile widely at her.
"Elena, welcome home. I made something for you" Stefan handed her a plate of spaghetti bolognese with extra cheese on top.
"Thanks Stef, this is really my new favorite food" She put the plate on the table while greeting some other guests.
Damon's been quite in the back. Elena didn't like the tension between them so she rolled her wheelchair and came up to him, in the corner.
"Damon, hey, didn't expect you here. But thank you for coming" She smiled which only to find his straight face and firm lips. "And I just wanna say, it's okay. What you did and what you said to me were just because you were afraid. And scared. I was too you know, the minute I found out I was scared, for me, for the baby, for you."
"Why are you so forgivable?" he asked quitely.
"Because I know everybody needs a second chance. And I know you weren't thinking straight that night. Stefan told me about your baby issues, don't worry he didn't tell me why. So I figured that I forgIve you"
"I'm so sorry Lena. I didn't mean the things I said to you. I didn't mean it at all. It was just a blurt that I really regret. I hurt you" he said sadly as he keen on his knee and met her doe beautiful eyes.
"You're right, you hurt me. I didn't say I'm not angry about this Damon. But still, I forgave you and all I want is start a brand new with you. Forget the past and just looking forward to the future. Do you want that?"
"Of course I do Lena. I'm so so sorry for hurting you"
"You know I'm no angel Damon, but you aren't either. So let this brand new to be our fresh start with our baby" She said slowly afraid of hurting and scared him.
"Our baby" he tasted it in his mouth, "Our. Baby. I like the sound of that"
"Me too" she smiled," SO what made you change your mind you know about baby?"
"Apparently I was drunk enough to listened to a bartender" He frowned made Elena laughed once again.
"It's been too long since I haven't see your smile, Gilbert. You'd better pay for that and showing how beautiful your smile is" He smirked but it fade when he saw her reactions. Tears starting to welling up in her eyes.
"Elena, I...I didn''t mean like that"
"You said my beautiful smile Damon, so my eyes, my cast ankle, my hair, and all of me is not beautiful?" She sniffed, her tears started falling. Damn hormones.
"No, I didn't say that"
"You did, you did" She sniffed again adn another tears falling.
"Okay, I'm sorry, okay? I meant all of you is beautiful. In fact you are the most beautiful, sweet, kind and selfless girl I have ever met" he said lovingly at her and wiped her tears with his thumb.
"I am? I am the most beautiful woman you've ever met?" she smiled and sniff again, "Oh don't you play your sweet side to me, Salvatore" she scold, he frowned. It must be her hormones, keep it together Salvatore, you can do this.
"But it's true and hey cmon, you got a lot of people that misses you" he started to roll her wheelchair, "And Lena, I've got something to tell you. About my baby issues. I think you need to know"
"Okay, you can tell me when we're alone" She smiled and put her hand on his. My world is filled again.
