Chapter 15

The next morning was hectic to say the least. Jenna was as emotional as hell, I was exhausted, from the past couple of days and Bonnie, Caroline and Amy were trying to make everything perfect for Jenna, although Amy wasn't much help as she had to keep going to the bathroom, thanks to morning sickness, she's had her doctor's appointment the day before and found out she was infact 8 weeks along, she decided she would wait another 4 weeks just to be safe before announcing it to everyone, obviously except the people that already knew being me, Bonnie, Caroline, Jenna and obviously Matt.

Jenna wasn't much good either, she was restless and kept complaining about being the size of a house.

"You know on my wedding day, I never thought i'd be the size of a whale" She complained.

"Either way you look beautiful, it doesn't matter at the end of the day your going to be marrying the man you love" I reassured her.

"Still, its just my luck, not only am I carrying twins, one of them has there foot or something lodged in my bladder and I constantly having to pee" she groaned.

"Well, hurry up and pee we need to get you ready we have 3 hour to get you ready aswell as ourselves" Caroline going into wedding mode, everytime she helped a client with a wedding her mind was set on the task, no matter whoever it was.

When Jenna finally came out of the bathroom, we got to work, me on hair with the help of Bonnie and Caroline on makeup, Amy was left to make sure everything was ready to leave as well as get herself ready and make regular toilet trips, the pregnancy was taking a serious toll on her, I was so looking forward to being pregnant one day, I thought to myself sarcastically, between being sick, constantly having to pee and the hormones, it was something to look forward too, one day.

We finally finished on her hair, her hair looked amazing, I had to admit it. It was pinned back of her face with small flower pins, with some curled pieces framing her face. It was half up half down and curled.

Then we were left to put her in her dress. She looked amazing, even that was an understatement.

"God, Jenna you look amazing" I said with clear emotion in my voice that gave away I was about to cry .

"Thanks.."She said as she was beginning to cry herself. "I can't believe i'm getting married...i never would have seen myself with someon like Alaric, I always chose the jerks, and here I am marrying this amazing guy, and in just I few months i'll be having his babies, its all so unreal"

"You deserve it" I said hugging her.

"Alright, emotional moment over, chop chop, we don't have time to re-do you makeup. Elena we need to get in are dresses we have about an hour to get ready and to the church."

"Yes captain"

We got in are dresses in record time, and got to our hair and make-up. We decided for the bridesmaids that we should just go for basic updo's and basic make-up to make sure we didn't draw any attention away from the bride on her big day.

"Finally were already" Bonnie said.

"With 15 minutes to spared" I said slumping down on the sofa in the living room. Jenna was in the bathroom again.

"Has anyone spoken to the guys"

"Nope, I haven't actually I expected the to call but they haven't yet"

"Hmm...i'll call Damon now"

I took out my phone and dialled Damon's number.

It rang for about a minutes and there was no answer and just as I was about to hang up he picked up.

"Hello" he said hoarsley.

"Please tell me your up and ready?"

"Just...were just getting to the church"

"Why do you sound like you've just woke up"

"Because we only did about 20 minutes ago"

"That's just great...how much did you drink last night"

"Too much, but were all here...and alive"

"Well that's nice to know...How's Ric"

"Hungover and complaining, so pretty much the usual"

"Well get him some painkillers and coffee..i swear if he looks like shit when we get to the church, i'm afraid you will be deprived for I very long time"

"I'm on it"

"That's what I like to hear, so soon" I said hanging up the phone.

"So how are they"

"Hungover, but at the church"

"Well at least their at the church an not still in bed"

"Who's not in bed" Jenna asked, as she came down the stairs.

"No one...oh look the cars are here"

"Well, I better go" Amy said.

"You can ride with us you know"

"Probably not a good idea the way my stomach is at the moment"

We all laughed. "It'll fade eventually" Jenna said.

"I hope, so see you at the church, and Jenna you look beautiful you all do"

We all made are way outside and too the car that was driving us to the church.

.

Damon P.O.V

"We need painkillers and plenty of coffee for the groom" I said as we got in the church.

"I'm fine"

"No , your not you look like shit and I get the blame if you do and get punished, so come on Ricky boy get these down you" I said as one of the attendants in the church handed me a big cup of steaming coffee and two tablets.

"We have exactly 15 minutes for that to kick in, and that the bride gets here, are all the guests here?"

"Yep, Jeremy's waiting outside cause he's giving Jenna away, my parents are here and family as well as friends and work colleagues"

"Good, we just have too wait now...at least you look abit better" I said to Ric.

"Remind me why we drank so much last night" Tyler asked from the corner.

"Apparently we though it'd be a good idea" I said sarcastically.

"Well...it wasn't" Tyler mumbled.

"Oh take it like a man, for goodness sake"

"I don't see how you don't look as bad as either of us, you drank more"

"I can take my alcohol, apparently the rest of you can't"

"The brides here" I attendant in formed us.

"Come on guys lets get this show on the road".

We all stood at the front of the church side by side, as the music began to play.

And I saw a glowing Jenna walking up the aisle, Jeremy at her side, she looked amazing I had to admit. But that's not what took my breath away it was Elena that did, she was right behind Jenna and I fixated on her. She was truly the most beautiful woman in the room. It was then that I had pictures of her walking up the aisle dressed in white, her round with my child inside her. I wanted it, I wanted it all. I wanted it with her, know one else could make me happy like her. I'd been having the debate with myself for days. I hadn't just fallen for her I was in love with her. And it was now imagining the kind of future we would have together, that I finally realized. I knew I could have never have had such a future with Katherine and I was well an truly over her. I never thought I could love another woman again, but to be honest what me and Katherine had was never love it was her manipulating me and brother against each other and knowing what buttons to push.

She caught me staring at her and smiled. The music stopped as Jenna was at Ric's side. And service began.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honourable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into inadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace" The whole church was in silence, after that initial part the wedding went smoothly and fast, the whole time I kept my eye on Elena and her pure beauty and all I could think about was how much I wanted to hold her, and tell her I loved her. But I knew now wasn't the right time for obvious reasons, not just because it was in the middle of a wedding but also with the situation at present and how she's just recently been posioned by some one from her past. I decided to save these thoughts for a later date, and concentrate on my best friend getting married.

"Do you Alaric Daniel Saltzman, take Jenna Maira Sommers to be your wife – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" Alaric said swiftly no hint of hesitation as he kept his eyes on Jenna, I could tell he was beyond happy.

Do you Jenna Maria Sommers, take Alaric Daniel Saltzman to be your husband – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" she said happily and I could see a tear stream down her cheek, I looked to see Elena and most of the other women in the church crying.

They exchanged rings, with each other next and the Vicar continued on.

" Bless, O Lord, the giving and receiving of these rings. May Alaric and Jenna abide in Thy peace and grow in their own knowledge of your presence through their loving union. May the seamless circle of these rings before the symbol of there endless love and serve to remind them of the holy covenant they have entered into today to, faithfil, loving and kind to each other. Dear God, may they live in Your grace and be forever true to this union. Amen" He hands each of them the others rings, and tells them what to say.

"Jenna, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honour you. In the name of the Father, and of the son , and the holy spirit with this ring, I thee wed" And Alaric placed the band onto Jenna's wedding finger.

"Alaric, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honour you. In the name of the Father, and of the son , and the holy spirit with this ring, I thee wed", and she does the same placing the ring on Alaric's finger

"As Alaric and Jenna have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a Ring, and by joining hands; I now pronounce that they are Man and Wife"

"You may now kiss the bride" And with that Alaric placed a kiss on Jenna's lips causing and uproar in the church of clapping from the guests.

.

The wedding was a great success and after many photo's being taken and having to do normal wedding stuff such as the meal and everything else I was glad when it came to the evening and I could finally have some fun and be with my girlfriend. It was still werid having a girlfriend I had to admit but now that I finally did reliaze that I loved her I wanted her to be more but I knew it was too soon.

"Well, hello beautiful"

"Hmmm, hi handsome"

"I haven't had much of a chance to talk to you today or do this" I said as I pulled her into a kiss.

Everyone else was off on the dance floor dancing the night away. Jenna and Alaric were in the middle dancing as they had just had there first dance together.

"I missed not having you next to me last night" she said as we pulled away.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss you"

"As if you could ever lie to me" she teased as she kissed me.

"Come on lets go dance" I said and pulled here on to the dance floor as a slow song started to play.

I pulled her to me and started dancing with her.

"Your quiet a dancer, Mr Salvatore"

"I know, its not the only thing i'm good at"

"Oh, I know" she said winking at me.

"You look beautiful today, if I haven't already told you that"

"Thanks, you don't look to bad in a suit, infact you look kinda hot"

"Don't I know it" I said as I spun her round and then kissed her.

"Hmmm, always soo full of yourself"

"You say that as if you don't love it"

"Oh i'm not complaining just stating a fact"

We danced like that for around an hour to all songs having fun and talking.

"So I saw I very inviting store room before wanna join me" she asked me seductively

"Well I can't say no to that can I, whatever my girl wants she gets" and off we ran to the store room away from everyone else looked at us curiously.

.

Elena P.O.V

We emerged awhile after and went to find everyone. They were all sat in a corner a corner together laughing and talking. Alaric and Jenna were off talking to his parents and family, so i'd have to wait until later to talk to her before they went of on there honeymoon tommorrow.

"Hey, guys" I said as Damon sat down and I sat on his knee.

"Hey, where have you to been"

"Around" I said blushing.

"I bet you have"Tyler snickered.

"I'd rather you didn't have this conversation right now younger brother present"Jeremy whined.

"Jeremy come dance with me?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure" he got up and I got up and made are way to the dance floor.

"So what made you want to dance" he asked.

"I just wanted to say mum and dad would have been so proud of you today"

"You think?"

"Yeah, of course you've grown up into this amazing man. You are getting ready to set up your own Gallery and selling art pieces"

"Yeah, thanks to your boyfriend. They'd be proud of you too you know"

"Not as much as you. I've done things in my past that i'm ashamed and that they'd be ashamed off"

"Elena, that was a bad time for you they would have never have been ashamed. We all make bad decisions in life I mean look at me I used to be a stoner, who didn't give a shit about anything"

"You were 16 Jer, and just lost your parents I didn't expect you to be all happy after it that was your way of dealing. As for me, I was 19 nearly 20 when all this happened"

"You have to move on from it Elena, what happened happened. You just have to remember you have people that love you and would do anything to protect you"

"I guess, since when were you the smart one anyway, I thought that was my job"

"Well, you've been gone awhile 'Lena" he teased.

"Yeah, I know and that's gonna change i'm visit more I promise."

"Promise?"

"I promise I will, besides i'm gonna need to be here more with my brother having his own Gallery and everything"

"Yeah, Yeah"

.

Damon P.O.V

I watched Elena dancing with her brother and smiled. I was so smitten and I love with her it was unbelieveable.

"So you heard anything back of that private investigator yet" Caroline asked.

Last night before we had started drinking, we had all decided that we should find out where Elijah is and make sure Klaus was still in prison, just to be safe. As long as they were a far, far way away from her, then everything was fine.

"Nope, not yet. We just have to wait" I answered.

Just then my phone began ringing, and it was a n unknown number.

"Hello"

"Mr Salvotore its Trevor"

"Oh, hi did you find anything"

"Yes, and I don't think your going to be too pleased"

"Go on" I said tensely, casuing them all to look at me curiously.

"I'm afraid that Mr Klaus Smith was released from prison"

"What? How long has he been out?"

"Since Friday, Sir, he and his brother are currently in New York, but after tracing there current activity it appears that they are leaving the area together".

"I want you too watch every move they make, I don't want one moment of them being unwatched"

"Yes, Sir, I'll be in contact when I have more news"

"Thanks Trevor" I said tightly.

"What is it, Damon" Caroline said urgently

I looked behind me to see Elena and Jeremy still Dancing.

"Turns out Klaus was let out of prison and they are both leaving New York"

"What, I thought Klaus was ment to be in for at least another 2 years"

"Well, apparently not, the bastard got out some how, and found out where Elena was and went after her"

"Crap, what are we going to do" Caroline said putting her head in her hands, the looks on everyone's faces was one of distraught.

"We have to wait, it's all we can do" I said.

"I can't believe this she was finally happy again. Now there both back, I could kill them"

"Trust me I am going to see them suffer. They drugged my girlfriend, she ended up in hospital, she could have died if she had, had any more of that drink, all because they can't get over her. Now Klaus is out we have to try and keep this from h-" I was cut of by them widening there eyes and shaking there heads and staring behind me. I turned around to see Elena, eye's widened tears in her eyes.

"K-klaus is out" she whimpered and ran off out the door and towards the exit.

Shit.
