Chapter 20

Damon P.O.V

2 weeks later.

The weeks since the scan had been perfect. Elena was beginning to get a slight bump which was barely noticeable and she tried everything to hide it even though it was barely visible. She'd already decided that she didn't want to tell anyone until they reached the safe zone.

"You nervous ?" I asked squeezing her knee as we drove past the sign welcoming us to Mystic Falls..

"Petrified" she said quietly. She's been quiet the majority of the ride, and I knew it was because she was scared about what everyone would say and think.

"You have me i'll be there the entire way, and either way if what Ric says is true and Jenna is always in a bitchy mood because of the pregnancy, I'm the one that should be scared she's probably going to kill me" I said, causing her to giggle.

"She's not that bad, she just wants them out already she still has a month left and she's getting hardly any sleep whatsoever, thank god i'm not having twins I don't know how i'd cope, this one is already enough" she joked. I could she the joy and love in her eyes as she placed her hand on the barely there bump, which she had decided to hide with a baggy t-shirt and her usual skinny jeans. But she was right, the morning sickness had a serious toll on her still, there were only few foods she could handle and there was the factor that she constantly had to pee especially on long car journeys, not that I was complaining it was all worth it in my eyes, even though I knew in upcoming months I was going to suffer severely due to the hormones.

Less than a half hour later we made it to the boarding house where we were staying this weekend. We were greated by the kids first who came running out to greet us, and shorty after Stefan, Lexi and baby Cory who was in Lexi's arms fast asleep.

"UKLE Damon" harry exclaimed flinging his arm around my legs.

"Hey little man" I said picking him up swifty and looked to see Lydia hugging Elena.

"Guess what we have a puppy" he exclaimed.

"Its about time champ" I said giving him a high five as I walked towards Stefan and Lexi who were still on the porch.

"See you finally caved, little brother" I teased him.

"It'll keep him quiet for awhile" he joked ruffling the hair of his eldest son.

"Hey Stef, Lexi" Elena called as she was being dragged in to the house by Lydia who wanted her to play. Harry soon struggling to get down to join his sister and Elena.

"Go on then you little guy" I said placing him down, as he went running after Elena and Lydia.

"They really do love her don't they" I whispered, as I saw the woman I love playing in the living room with the two kids.

"She's a natural" Lexi said. " You'll be lucky to have her as the mother of your children"

"Don't I know it" I whispered, as she looked up and saw me staring at her, she smiled at me, and quickly pulled her attention back to the Harry and Lydia as the demanded her attention.

…

"So me and Elena have some news, its the reason we've came up this weekend" I said, to Stefan and Lexi, later on that day, when the kids were in bed and it was just us up.

"I thought you were here for Elena's aunts baby shower"

"Well yeah and that"

"Well go on then" Stefan said.

"The suspense is killing us" Lexi said dramatically.

"You know he's one for dramatics " Elena said rolling her eyes causing them both to laugh.

"Ok, ok...well how do I say this your going to be... an uncle and aunt" I grinned at him.

"What" they both gasped jumping up and giving us a hug.

"Congrats brother" Stefan said giving me a man hug, whilst I saw Lexi hugging Elena.

"I don't know how I didn't see it, I mean now I know I can see it" Lexi said staring at Elena's barely changed physique.

"How" Elena asked nervously.

"I am a mother of three, I can tell these things, I was the same when I was pregnant with Lydia trying to hid it with oversized t-shirts" she said laughing.

"I juat wanted to hide it until I told my aunt, she probably gonna freak" Elena explained laughing.

"And kill me, she is a crazy pregnant lady after all"

And what are you trying to say" Elena said raising her eyebrow.

"What she is" I said defending myself.

"Your right she probably will kill you" she said half serious, half joking.

"Thanks for the reassurance" I moaned.

"You;ll be fine" Stefan reassured.

"No he won't, just because I was a very calm pregnant lady doesn't mean someone who's carrying twin's are" Lexi said laughing.

"I wouldn't call you, calm" I heard Stefan say under his breath.

"Thanks guys really making me feel better here"

"Oh and look here's her lovely husband ringing me now" Elena said laughing.

"Hi ric what's up" Elena asked.

I heard Ric on the other side of the phone and saw the colour drain from Elena's face.

"What, is she ok? I'm on my way now" Elena said said hurriedly barley keeping it together.

"Elena, baby what's up, what's happened" I asked concerned.

"Its Jenna she's been in an accident" she sobbed.

Elena P.O.V

I could feel my world falling apart as we made are way to the hospital. The night had started out so normally, happy even. Why was it all my happiness was short lived.

I had to think positively for Jenna, for the twins, for Alaric, Damon, and my baby. I knew that whatever happened I had to stay strong no matter what. I looked at the clock and it was already 7.30 pm we had left the Salvatore boarding house swiftly after receiving the phone call from Ric.

I had this underlying feeling that there was more to this then it being an accident. I mean Ric was in the car too and he came out with hardly a scratch. The car had come out of no where, Ric had said. It crashed into Jenna's side of the car, and they got her to the hospital as soon as possible, as she was unconscious. But |Ric has said that the driver of the black SUV ran away as soon as the accident happened. I already knew what had happened I was just trying my hardest to try and block out the thoughts and concentrate on Jenna and the Twins.

5 minutes later we were at the hospital and made are way to the waiting room where the rest of my family were waiting. Both Jeremy and Bonnie were sat in a corner hugging. Tyler was pacing backwards and forwards with Caroline. Matt was sat down next to a 6 months pregnant Amy. And Ric was sa with his head in is hands tears falling to the floor. I ran up to him and put my arms arounf him.

"You know this isn't your fault right?" I whispered.

"If I was more careful, though" he whispered back.

"The car came out of no where like you said" I tried to comfort him feeling Damon behind me, with his hand on his bestfriends shoulder, I got up knowing that Damon was probably the only one that could get through to him right now.

I walked over to Jeremy as he stood up to give me a hug.

"What have the Doctors said" I asked him as tears began to fall from my eyes.

"Not much other then that their going to have to do an emergency C-section to get the twins out as their under to much distress"

"What about Jenna"

"They don't know whether she's going to make it. She's lost a lot of blood" he whimpered.

"Oh god" I said throwing my arms around my younger brother. It was heart breaking to think that the woman that had been there for us over the hardest time of are lives was possibly going to die.

"She'll make it through this, if anyone can its Jenna" Caroline whispered.

Hours passed and still we heard nothing. It was 10.30 amd everyone was emotionally drained. Alaric being the worsted, he'd heard nothing about his unborn children and his wife and I could see it was eating him from inside.

Damon was sat by my side whispering comforting words into my ear, as was Bonnie doing the same for Jeremy.

But just tthen we heard footsteps approach the room, the door opened swiftly, to show a male Doctoe coming through the door with a clipboard in hand.

"Family of Jenna Saltzman" he called, causing everyone to jump up swiftly.

"Immediate family only" he said, causing everyone except me, Jeremy and Alaric to sit down.

"Everyone here is family, anything you say an be said to all of these people" Alaric said weakly.

"Very well" The Doctor said.

"You wife has suffered great damage to the right side of the body..."the Doctor begun, leaving us all in suspense with a luck full of sorrow on his face.

My heart instantly dropped, as I knew it was going to be bad news, causing new tears to form as Damon stood up next to me hand firmly in mine.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys, been busy lately. I am really sorry and hope you like the chapter.
