Chapter 5

Somewhere off in a bar Stefan had become a slave o blood, it ruled him and he followed Klaus around doing his bidding. He still knew in his heart he loved Elena and he had to keep him far away from Mystic Falls away from her. Sitting on a stool at a bar having a drink from a girl's wrist while Klaus watched from a near. He lifted his head and looked into the girl's eyes compelling her "offer my friend a bite." She turned around to Klaus and raised her wrist to him. He looked a Stefan and said "thanks mate but, I rather drink from my own straw" and he turned the girl head to the side biting into her neck. As the dark blood started to gush and run down her chest but under compulsion she didn't move once she just stood quietly as the blood was drained from her. Stefan took a shot and turned his head to the side as he watched Klaus he was getting antsy and decided to grab a fresh drink, he walked to a table of girls and said "ladies I was watching you all from the far and seems like you are partying hard, you guys wanna move this party back to my hotel" but just as they were about to answer Klaus came up next to Stefan announcing "leave them" Stefan bent over their table looks up at him and says "why? I'm still hungry" Klaus slaps his shoulder and tells him "because our quest has just walked in the door." He had been at the bar everyday from open to close and Stefan figured Klaus was waiting for something but asking was not his purpose. He turned his head and saw very thin man with shaggy hair, as he entered into the bar he seemed to be a very welcomed person and everyone knew his name saying "hi hank, hi" Stefan stood to his feet and asked "that! That's what you dragged me all he way to Alabama for?" Klaus nodded his head and said "relax Stef, you've yet to see his true self." They walk to the bar where Hank is sitting and each take a seat on the sides of him. Hank turns his head left and right and makes a comment "I don't want no trouble, had I have known this here was a vamp bar I would have never stopped." Klaus tells the bartender "excuse me I'm a little old fashion, I believe if you're gonna drink then you go…. How you say old school" and he tells the bartender "bourbon." The bartender pours the drinks and they all take one. Stefan is very interested into what Klaus wants with the man. Klaus asks him " so Hank where exactly is your pack?" Stefan was a bit surprised because werewolves aren't this scrawny. Hank looked dead into Klaus's face and said with the most serious voice "go to hell vampire shit" he threw back his shot and walked off into the rest of the bar to talk to other people. Stefan smiled as he chucked down his shot saying "I guess not everyone likes that original vampire charm" Klaus immediately snapped at him "shut up Stef."

In Mystic Falls Damon was in his bedroom looking a map of all the supposedly animal attacks surrounding Mystic Falls. He looked at the map and said "brother, brother, bother you're still as careful as usual, which means you haven't flipped the switch." Alaric walked in his room carrying a cross bow:

Ric: Should we really be looking for Stefan, I mean today is the day Elena's gonna see what is exactly in there.

Damon: We know what's in there. It's a baby but rather it's all human or half vampire is the question.

Ric: I think we all have forgotten the fact that Elena is an 18 year old girl that got knocked up by her boyfriend so when I say what's in there I mean boy or girl.

Damon: No! Ric it seems you have forgotten that Klaus is still out there and he thinks Elena is dead, and he finds out that she's alive and well now she jus might be bearing another little doppelganger possibility, it could be opportunity for another sacrifice or who knows what.

Ric: but isn't this why Stefan went with him to save everyone, lure them away from here.

Damon: my brother the hero. But doesn't mean it will work forever. (Just then his phone began to ring and he looks at it and lets it ring) let's go get Elena her birthday gift.

Elena was sitting the doctor's office with Bonnie and Caroline, Elena had just hung up her phone and she looked a Bonnie saying "this is so frustrating! I gave Damon a new location of where Stefan could be yesterday and he's probably gone off on his own to find him." Bonnie took her phone and held her hand saying "Elena, we're in a doctor's off about to find out about your baby, focusing on that." Caroline was nodding she agreed but she too was missing her big brother like Stefan. They both took one of Elena's hands and smiled at her. Just then the nurse came out and called Elena into a room, they all walked back with her. Sitting on the table nervous, Elena was quite unsure what to expect she hadn't thought much about this baby inside of her over the last three months, all of her focus had been toward finding Stefan. She knew that if she could at least find Stefan they could decide what to do together. Just then the doctor came in:

Doctor: Ms. Gilbert!

Elena: That's me.

Doctor: Hi, I'm Dr. Karpool. I'm gonna be your obstetrician. Judging your records I'm a little worried that you're just now seeking medical care. Are you religious or planning a home birth.

Elena: Ahh! No! I just.

Caroline: (looked the doctor in the eyes compelling him) keep the questions to minimum.

Doctor: (snaps back) okay so can you lie back and lift your shirt please.

Elena: (lies back and Bonnie helps her lift up her shirt) Here we go.

Doctor: (pushes on her belly) Well you baby seems to developing nice the size is good.

Elena: (breathing hard) yea I just started getting seriously fat.

Doctor: (takes out the goo for her stomach and squirts it on) it's a little cold.

Elena: (Shutters, taking a really deep breath) I'm so nervous!

*Caroline squeezes her hand and looks in her eyes**

The doctor takes the ultrasound wand and places it on her belly moving the goo around, as soon as the wand hits her stomach they begin to hear a heartbeat. The doctor announces "beautiful heartbeat it's perfect." He continues to move around and shows Elena the baby saying:

Doctor: here's its head, and feet, its hands. (Elena, Bonnie, Caroline are staring at the monitor in awe.)

Elena: (seeing something funny on the screen as maybe the baby was eating her insides she gasped ) oh my! What's that is it?

Doctor: (began to laugh and froze the picture) ha ha ha! Seems your little guy here is a thumb sucker. He's just sucking his thumb. Baby's do that in the womb too.

Elena: (looking amazed but shocked at the same time) HE!

Caroline: doctor did you just

Bonnie: It's a HE.

Doctor: I apologize did you want to know the sex.

Elena: It's fine, it's a boy! Wow!

The doctors takes the wand off Elena's stomach and cleans the goo off. He tells the "well your little guys seems to be happy and very healthy. I will go get you ultrasound video and pictures also a list of do's and don'ts for you." He left the room and Caroline immediately hugged Elena saying "wow Elena your having a mini Salvatore." Bonnie wasn't so convinced because she had in her mind that maybe this baby was more like his father than let on. She walked around in front of Elena and touched her stomach. Closing her eyes and concentrating, Caroline asks "Bonnie what are you doing?" Bonnie with her eyes closed said out loud "I'm trying to see if the baby is human or vampire, because without knowing what the baby is, I couldn't visualize it. But now I might be able to see its future or a glimpse." She went back to concentrating and started to chant "tuaro, nega sinne sar, tuaro nega sine sar, tuaro nega sinne sar" She gasped and in Bonnie's vision she saw a baby he was beautiful: with Stefan's green eyes, and Elena's tulip like nose, a smile that could be both his parents. He was being held by Jeremy who looked oh so happy to have him in his arms with Damon watching from a close. Her vision changed and the little baby was a little older with blonde hair and stronger features of his parents. He was standing in his crib looking at the picture of his parents from Stefan's room. She could see the baby change into a now about four years old and he still looked like his parents, Damon had just finished dressing him and picked him up taking him downstairs to his uncle Jeremy who the boy ran to. Jeremy scooped him up and said something but Bonnie could barely hear, maybe a name. Her vision began to crumble and she was back in the doctor's office. She looked at Elena and began to smile nodding her head saying "he's human, he's gonna grow and be a normal child." Elena touched her stomach and laughed saying "wow how is all this possible, I'm having a little boy." They all hugged, but as Bonnie hugged them she realized in her vision she never once saw Elena, or Stefan. The baby was always being taken of by his two uncles and the way the picture sat in his room meant that somehow or another Elena and Stefan would not survive to see him grow up.
