PART 15

Just a little after midnight everyone were going back to their own home. Caroline and Stefan would go to the penthouse, her mother would stay at Bonnie's house since tomorrow she would drive her to the airport to catch a flight back to Mystic Falls.

After seeing how close Damon and Elena earlier that night, Miranda felt it would be okay to left Elena in Damon's hands. She believed he would protect and care about her the way she did, even more she thought. Damon did broke her little girl's heart when he found out about the pregnancy, but tonight he proved to her that she could count on him to protect Elena and their little one. Damon hadn't left her side since she came over to him on the corner. He couldn't take his eyes off of her even when she's on a wheelchair with a cast would be it for her little girl.

Elena herself felt Damon acted differently toward her all night. He would say something like "Lena don't do that, just stay put" or "remember what the doctor said, it would be dangerous for the baby" when she was just trying to grab some glasses on top of the cabinet. It was overreacting she knew that, but on the other hand she thought it was really sweet. The way he cared for her, the way he cared for their baby.

"Thanks for coming Anna, " Elena's hug them as they stood on the door frame.

"It was our pleasure. Get better okay, Lena? We missed you for the dinner party downstairs" Anna said. The dinner party was just an usual dinner made by her neighbours once in a month. Every month they did it in different house, everyone that came should bring at least one bottle of wine or foods.

"Thanks, I'll try Anna. I missed the dinner too. We can do it in my house next month"

"Are you sure? You just got back from the hospital Elena. How about we do it in ours?" Pearl said as she glance at her daughter who nodded at her.

"Well, okay then. See you tomorrow guys" She waved them goodbye. Pearl was on the third staircase when Anna came back to talk to her.

"And Elena, your boyfriend was freaking hot. You sure are a lucky girl" She winked at her and followed her mother. She smiled shyly at herself before close the front door.

Damon said goodbye earlier after Elena having her second plate of Stefan pasta. She didn't mind but still couldn't stop to think why. He said he'll be back when everyone gone home but he still didn't show up.

She carefully rolled her wheelchair to her bedroom. Slowly tried to stand up and walked to her closet, grabbing her dark purple tank top and shorts. She tucked in her bed and turn off her bedside lamp.

It was almost 4 a.m in the morning when Elena felt something hit her bedroom window which on 5th floor with something small but hard. She fluttered a second and try to got up, cursing something about the poeple and they habit of annoyed others. She opened her curtain and saw Damon and three other man whom she didn't know stand outside. She could try to shout at him but she was afraid of waking up her neighbours so she catch her phone instead and calling him.

"Damon, what are you doing?"

"It's my way to say apologize. I'm sorry Elena, I know you forgave me but I still feel bad knowing I hurt you. I hope you like it"

Damon took out his brown acoustic guitar out of it's case and started playing it.

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

She couldn't believe her own eyes and ears. Seeing Damon sang her favorite song and hearing his velvety voice singing was...heaven. Tears started to falling from both her eyes.

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

Damon stopped and put his guitar down as he looked into her doe eyes up there.

"Elena Gilbert, I am so sorry for hurting you, for making you cry, for broke your hearts, for calling you names, for didn't accept our baby, for everything that I did wrong to you. I would never do that again, if you let me, would you give me one more chance to prove it? To prove that I love you Elena, hell, I've loved you since I laid my eyes on you" He shouted sincerely with his shappire eyes locked to her. Her neighbours got outside but she didn't care.

"Don't go anywhere. I'm coming down" She whispered through the phone and hang up. She carefully but excitedly walked out of her apartement to the elevator.

The elevator ride seems took hours before it reached the lobby. She stepped outside the elevator and some people in the lobby staring wierdly at her but she didn't care.

Finally she reached where Damon and his little band stood and gasp a little when she realized Damon wore such a fine outfit compared to her. He was wearing his Armani dark blue button up shirt, black jeans and Lugz black boots. He smirked as she stood dumbfounded in front of him, he took both her hands and kissing her knuckles. He didn't care if her neighbours encircle them. He wouldn't even care if the whole world staring at them right now.

"Elena, like I said back then, I love you. I'm not hearts and flowers kind of guy but for you I'll try. I just hope that your version of brand new start is involved me being the it guy for you" He said softly, his blue eyes bored into her eyes.

"Damon..."

"I didn't think I'd live for the day I make Elena Gilbert breathless and speechless" He smirked again and she lightly puched his arms. "I didn't expect yo to say that you love me too. I just want you to know that—"

"Could you please stop talking for awhile?" She faked scolding him, "I love you too Damon Salvatore. "

Damon stood there in silence after she said the six words to him. He tried to speak but no words could escape his mouth. He tried to breath but somehow it got stuck in his throat. He tried to blink but he felt something hold his eyes. No one ever said that after his mother died and actually mean it. No one but Elena, his girl, mother of his child.

"Are you-? Do you...mean it?" He said slowly.

"Of course I do, I love you Damon. Since the moment I laid my eyes on you" She teased playfully. People surround them started to clapping their hands joyfully. Some people cried their eyes out and shouted their names.

One of Damon's band guy tap him on the shoulder and gave him a bouquet of velvety roses in the tones of deep ruby, fuchsia pink, sunshine yellow and creamy white.

"I know it's cliché but yellow means friendship which we took that step a long time ago and I think we should be on the red rose step, means I love you, pink means admiration ..."

"And white means purity and innocence" they both said in unison.

"It means that our love is pure" Elena said softly as she kissed Damon's full lips.

He grabbed her cheeks softly with his right hand and his left hand found it's way to her waist, try to deepened the kiss. His tounge slowly trace her parted bottom lips and her tounge and his dance together. She slowly broke their kiss and pressed her forehead against his.

"And yes, I'll let you try to prove it. And yes I'll let you be the it for me" she smiled softly at him.

"Thank you, but I can't promise you that I'll be a good father for our child" he whispered sadly.

"You'll try and you'll succeed. I just know it Damon" she smiled again, reassured him. "Hey, you forgot to tell me about your...baby issue" she glanced at the crowded and saw them one by one left them alone.

"I'll tell you later" he winked, "I need some alone time with my girl right now, and my baby" he took her by the hands to her apartement. My world is definately on it's axis once again.

They spent hours just talking and laughing together. They were both laying together on Elena's bed with Damon's hand around her waist, holding her tight, and her head on his perfect chest. Damon told her that Stefan and Blondie, which he deserved a light slap on his chest for calling her bestfriend Blondie, helped him to get a band and flowers. He spent hours in his room learning to play guitar and the keys to the song. She was really touched by his actio. He slowly stroke her hair and glance at the time.

"It's almost 9 in the morning, don't you hungry?" Damon asked, looked down at her chocolate eyes.

"Starving" she rolled her eyes.

"Well, we can't let you and my baby starve now can we?" he smirked and get up. He took her hand and peck her lips softly. "What would you like now, princess?"

"Can I have broccoli cheddar omelet please?" she asked like a ten year old girl with her doe eyes.

"Sure you can. Cmon, you sit on the stool and let the professional works" they went to the kitchen. Elena did as she told and Damon took her apron on the table.

She watched him cook with so much joy in her heart. Butterflies flew all over her stomach and they seems wanted to go out and give Damon a kiss on the cheek. She never thought of this scene in her entire life. A man who loved her and gave a very precious thing for her was standing in her kitchen cooking her favorite breakfast dish. She just couldn't believe that Damon loved her.

The first time Damon told her he loved her, all she could think was why and how. She was nothing special, she just brought problems to his life. But then she understood that the man was just as hurt as she did before. He knew what losing a person you love means. He knew that past could never be erased but we could learned from it. So, that's why she have the courage to say those three little words back for him, from her deepest heart.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Damon watched her lose to herself.

"No, nothing. Just thinking how could I be so lucky" she smiled.

"Lucky? I'm the lucky one" he said simply.

"So, how about your issue?"

"You would never give up, wouldn't you?" he chuckled lightly.

"Well, I've been told that I'm stubborn" she smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, so it all started with one girl. I know you know, yep Katherine. A month after she almost slept with Stefan she called me. She told me that she...she was, she thought that she was pregnant. I told her to do the test and she did. It was positive. I said i wasn't ready to have a baby. I was just getting my life started" he stopped, looking at the floor then continue cooking. Elena kept quiet, wanted him to keep on telling her.

"She started to cry,and I just...I didn't know what to do. I asked her to get—" Damon seems hesitated but Elena touched his hand and smiled reassured him to continue with the story.

"I asked her to get an...abortion. I told her I can pay for the cost. So she did" Damon said quietly knowing what Elena's reaction would be, especially after she let out a heavy gasp. He thought she would leave him.

Elena's eyes widened as she heard word by word that came out of Damon's mouth. She gasp when she heard 'abortion'. Damon asked her to killed their baby? It wasn't her Damon. The Damon that she knew would never do that. She lost in her thought before someone touched her shoulder lightly with a sad and tired expression in his blue eyes.

"Elena, please say something" Damon took a seat at the stool next to her. Her broccoli cheddar omelet was on her plate next to her glass of orange juice.

"You, you killed your own child" she whispered.

"Technically I didn't I was just suggesting and she agreed. But you're right, I did kill my baby" he sighed defeated knowing what exactly she was going to do.

"The baby was innocent. They didn't even want to be born, they didn't know how they parents look like, how they're gonna react, they were innocent" she murmured.

"I know, God, I wish I know that back then . But I was so shocked and I was scared. What if I'd be a bad dad? A shitty dad?" his voice cracked at the end.

She slowly looked at him through her lashes. Then it hit her.

He was really scared. He just look like someone had been throw his own crap in front of him and rubbing it on his face. His eyes and expression was exactly like the night that she told him she was pregnant with his baby.

"Damon," She touched his cheek but he flinched, "Damon you won't know if you don't try"

"But what if the baby that you carry gonna be ashamed of me? What if they gonna be dissapointed and upset with me?" his blue eyes teary. Her heart broke looking at his soft blue eyes.

"Forget about what if's. Forget about all the negative thoughts in your head. You'll be a great dad and your children would be so proud of you. Remember what you told me earlier that you quit your job? Remember that the restaurant you're gonna buy? Remember your dreams with me? That you can see me with our baby in your future? Damon, you won't be like your father. You'll be like every father in the movies. You'll be great. You'll take them to the park, to the movies and drop them to school" she told him softly as she caressed his cheeks and kissed his tears away.

"You think so?"

"No, I know so" she smiled.

"So you won't leave me?" he whispered.

"Of course I won't, now why would I?"

"Because of my hideous past. I really really regret it Elena. If I could turn back the time I would. That's the first thing I would do" his voice was full of determination though he knew he couldn't turn back the time.

"I know I know you would. Which is why you'll be a great dad. You learned from your past, Damon instead of throwing them all away. I am so proud of you"

"You do?" he looked so innocent, like a little boy.

"Of course I do"

"My father never say that to me" he looked away, bitterness in his voice.

"And that's the other reason why you'll be an excellent father. You'll say that more often to our baby"

"Thank you Lena, for trusting me, for understans me, for everything. I love you" he smiled as he stood up and kissed her lips chastily.

"You are very welcome Damon, I love you too. Now let's dig in, I'm so starving" she grinned at him which rewarded with her favorite Damon's shy smile.
