Chapter 19

I lay in the bed at the hospital thinking to myself for hours on end. Pregnant. God I'm pregnant, I thought to myself as the doctor left the room. I was going to have a baby in a few months, a little human being was now growing inside of me and had been for the past 2 months. It was hard to get my head around. I looked at the clock and saw that it was, almost 8.30 am, where the hell was Damon. I was just about the grab my cell phone when he cam wondering in the room with a bag, by the looks of it full of pastries, the expensive kind and steaming coffee.

"And where have you been?" I questioned, arms crossed over my chest.

"Doing errands of course, I had to talk with the police about they are doing next but of course they couldn't tell me anything until you do your statement, next I was informing your family of the events, then I had to sort out work and make sure everything is under control, not before calling and checking you were ok of course"

"Ok, I guess your forgiven considering you brought food, I'm starving"

"I didn't know what you were in the mood for so I got you a bit of everything, coffee included"

"No coffee for me thanks" I decided, I had to tell him as soon as possible, now was the perfect time before all the drama began, with the police and I knew I had to tell him about the car and the texts.

"Are you feeling ok, you normally can't live without it"

"Sorry Doctor orders not allowed coffee any more in my condition"

"What, what did the doctor say? Your not ill are you i'll kill him with my bare hands, hunt him down, I swear if he has done any permanent damage I will" he said angriliy and I could see the worry in his eyes.

"You'd better sit down for this" I said to him pointing at the chair next to my bed side.

"Please tell me this isn't bad news I can't lose you" he whispered.

"The doctors found something when they got my blood test results back"i stopped letting out a breath preparing myself.

"The suspense is killing me here 'Lena please"

"Looks like later this year were going to be hearing the little patter of feet" I said smiling at him shyly.

"Wait...what, how can we hear the litt-...your pregnant" he gasped, shocked. He sat there for a minute in silence taking in the news, then all of a sudden he jumped up and pulled me from the bed bridal style, spinning me around.

"We're going to have a baby, seriously" he beamed at me, kissing me passionately, this was not the reaction I was expecting at all, he was so ecstatic it was unbelievable.

"Yeah, we're having a baby together" I said smiling as tears came to my eyes.

He sat down on the bed with me in his arms and hugged me, we sat there in the same embrace for several minutes.

"How many weeks are you" he asked.

"The doctor said 7-8 weeks, it an be determined when I have the ultrasound. You know what this means right, I got pregnant when we were in Mystic Falls for Jenna's and Alaric's wedding"

"But how you were on birth control" he said confused, "Not that i'm complaining" he added swiftly.

"Well, apparently having sex whilst you ill and on the pill is not a good idea" I joked.

"Wow, this alll just so sudden, you know now i'm going to be an obsessive control freak" he said, causing me to raise my eyebrow, as if to say aren't you already.

"I'm not that bad, well lets just say you haven't seen nothing yet" he teased.

"No how about we get some food in you before the cops get here" he said.

"That sounds like a good idea considering i'm eating for two now"

"What you in the mood for..." before he could finish, I got a whiff of the food and it instantly sent me stomach funny causing me to jump from his lap and run the joining bathroom, to empty the contents of my stomach for the next 15 minutes, I felt Damon behind me holding my hair back from face.

"The doctor jinxed me they said any day this morning sickness would be starting and the exact same day I found out, i'm on my knees next the toilet" I complained, as I got up sluggishly and walked back into the room. "Looks like i'm not eating anything this morning, the baby doesn't want" I pouted. Just then I heard a knock on the door, to see 2 cops coming in.

"Miss Gilbert, we are here for you questioning of the events of last night"

"Oh ummm, ok" I mumbled nervously scared yo bring it all back up again, I settled back in the bed, Damon by my side as the begun there questioning, which was on going for an hour straight. I decided I better mention the weird car that had been following me and the text message.

"We didn't know this activity had been going on" the cops said.

"I thought it was nothing" I mumbled and try to ignore the stare that Damon was giving me from the chair next to me.

"Well, we'll check the cctv to see if we can get any footage from last night of a black SUV near the area, and we'll have to check your phone details, we'll be on touch as soon as we have more news"

"Thank you, officers" Damon said, as I sat quietly on the bed.

"Goodbye Mr Salvatore, Miss Gilbert" they said as they walked out the room.

Damon begun pacing as soon as they were out of the room, I watched him for 2 minutes striaght and he still hadn't said anything to me and I saw the conflicted look on his face.

"Damon i'm so-" I was cut of before I could finish.

"Why didn't you tell me" he whispered.

"I-I thought it was nothing"

"You should know by now that when something like this happens to tell me" he fumed.

"It happened a few times, it wasn't anything serious"

"Still it frightened you and you didn't tell me. I could have done something"

"What could you have done Damon, he got to the P.I and neither of us knew about it. He does what he wants and there is nothing we can do about it whether we like it or not" I said to him as a began to cry. I was pregnant, and scared at the possibility that because of one man or rather two ot could be ruined and I could lose everything, these thoughts just caused me to cry further and before I knew it I was full on sobbing. I felt Damon's arms wrap around me in a comforting embrace to try and subdue my sobs.

"Shhh, baby, i'm sorry" he whispered, rubbing my back. I felt a twinge in my stomach as if I was going to be sick again, causing me to jump up from out of his eyes, and run to the bathroom for the second time that morning.

After a few minutes, I pulled away from the toilet and leaned against the wall after brushing my teeth with the toothbrush Damon had brought with him.

"You ok?" he questioned putting his arm around me, as I felt a tear seep out of my eye.

"Beside the fact this pregnancy is probably going to kill me, my hormones and emotions are all over the place, and I can't keep anything down, I'm just fine"

"I'm sorry for going off on you before, it's just I can't lose you, either of you" he said placing his hand over my stomach and the other on the side of my face.

"And I can't lose you either, but this is my mess Damon and I hate to get you into it, but now I have no choice considering I don't have my life to just consider any more" I said placing my head on his chest.

"As if i'd stay away anyway if you were pregnant or not" he joked trying to lighten the mood.

"You make a good point there" I teased.

"But seriously, no one is going to hurt you ot the baby" he promised.

"What about you" I whispered.

"Nothing is going to happen to me, were having a baby together I wouldn't miss that for the world. Besides we have the police on are side now"

"I suppose, just what if he tries something again"

"He won't because you want ever be out of sight again from anyone or on your own. We have happier things to think about know anyway, like the fact that the Doctor I seeing you today for your ultrasound so we can see are baby" he smiled.

I beamed back at him.

Damon P.O.V

"This is going to feel a little cold" the doctor warned Elena as he place some of the gel on her lower abdomen which would allow us to see are baby. I still couldn't believe it I was going to be a father, who would have thought me a father. I was pulled out of thought by Elena's quick intake of breath.

I looked over to the monitor which would show the baby, and I saw it, the little outline of a baby. I could see the outline of a head and the body, and it was then that it hit me it was the happiest moment of my life. I was having a baby with the woman I loved. Nothing could get better then this.

I looked over to Elena and saw a look of awe on her face and a tear streaming down her face. I squeezed her hand causing her to look at me and when she did I mouthed 'I love you' and see followed with a kiss.

"Well there's you baby" the doctor said.

"We'll have to make another appointment in a couple of weeks time so you can hear the heartbeat, but until then if you have any problems just call your local doctor or if it'd emergency come straight here. Oh and also Miss Gilbert I think your free to leave now you just have to fill in your release forms" the doctor smiled as he cleaned of Elena's flat stomach.

I helped Elena get up of the chair and put my arm across her shoulder as we went to the main desk to sign all the important papers that needed to be signed.

.

Days passed quickly and before we knew it we were back at the hospital for the scan to check for a heartbeat. Over the past couple of weeks the morning sickness had really taken a toll on Elena, everything she smelt or ate ended up being thrown back up it was very few things that she could keep down, which made her extra grouchy as well as her hormones of course. Here body was changing with this pregnancy. Her curves were already amazing, but as her body got ready to bear the child they were to die for, and her boobs, if it were up to me we wouldn't leave the bedroom, I couldn't get enough of them, and they were still getting bigger. I smirk spread aross my face as I thought about what we'd be doing later to celebrate hearing the babies heart beat for the first time.

"What are you smirking at" she questioned as we walked hand in hand to the room where are appointment would be taking place.

"You don't want to know" I said winking.

"I suppose I didn't really need to ask, did I?"

"You know me so well" I said laughing.

"Its a mutual feeling baby" she said fluttering her eyelashes at me teasingly.

"You really shouldn't do that if you want to make it to the appointment" I said, through gritted teeth as I tried to control myself.

"As if you'd want to miss this appointment"

"Your lucky this time" I said whilst narrowing my eyes and speeding up slightly.

"What's the hurry" she giggled.

"The sooner we finish this appointment the sooner I can have you" I said in a determined tone, casuing he to giggle like a school girl.

Over the last couple of weeks nothing had happened there had not even been a sniff of Klaus or Elijah anywhere. The police were able to find the black SUV that had been following Elena around and it was abandoned across the other side of the city. It was kind of a relief that he hadn't turned up but also worrying as to where he was and what he was planning yet.

We'd planned to go down to Mystic Falls next weekend as Jenna was having a suprise baby shower for the twins arrival which was it the nect month or show depending if they'd hold out that long, as Alaric mentioned how Jenna was certain she wasn't going to last another month as she already felt like she was going to burst.

We made it swiftly to the Doctor office and we seen straight away, and Elena was set up in the same bed she was in the following couple of weeks ago when she had the first ultrasound.

.

The appointment went amazing. The little thump thump of are babies heartbeat set everything in motion for me, and made it all the more real. It was time to settle down. Maybe move back to Mystic Falls near my brother and my niece and nephews. Build a proper relationship with my father , and raise my own son or daughter properly, not in the middle of a city full of business, but somewhere the white picket fence was possible. Where on Sundays all the family could come round and have a grill night , where at Christmas, we'd share it with everyone and take turns cooking christmas dinner and making memories as a family. I had my mind set, Mystic Falls was going to be home again, they always say home is where the heart lies, and although my heart will be forever Elena's, Mystic Falls was where I wanted to be with her.

All what was left to do was talk to Elena about it. I wonder what she'd think.
