Chapter nine

The power of youth is on my mind. Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time.

"Excuse me" the nurse said beaming at the astonished couple. But with a change of heart she shook her head. "Young love, so beautiful" she muttered happily as she opened the door.

"A baby girl" Damon stammered shocked, Carina smiled and rubbed her stomach.
"Our baby girl" she said, Damon moved his hand to touch her stomach, she felt a little crestfallen by how he was controlling himself, she could see the internal battle in his eyes.

Indeed he was, the human 1800's Damon was soaring, jumping for joy and yelling with happiness, the first and last child he would ever have! Carina moved her hands to touch his, what shocked her was that he took one hand and held it, without eye contact, his eye on her stomach.
"Our baby" he muttered, Carina beamed, she let out a laugh, a little relief, along with her tears. Damon looked at her face, her shoulders shook, his forehead creased.
"Oh Carina no, don't cry" Damon said wiping her tears furiously he held her head straight so her eyes locked with his, she was sniffling, he leant their foreheads together, his icy eyes fixed onto her warm blue ones desperate for her to stop crying, she smiled at him.
"A baby girl, our baby, I never thought she'd have a chance" she chocked, he hugged her tightly and rubbed her back.
"You saved us" she croaked and he squeezed her tighter, he pulled back slightly, their cheeks almost touching, he moved his head towards her and their noses brushed.

Carina blinked, her eyelashes brushed her cheeks as she gazed at his lips then to his eyes, she just wanted to kiss him again.

Likewise, he gazed hungrily at her lips and then into her eyes, it happened in slow motion, his face inched towards hers slowly and their lips brushed.

The door burst open and Damon shot away in vamp speed he smashed a painting on the wall, Carina looked flushed and was breathing heavy, she clutched her heart and glared at Enzo who strolled into the room.

"So what is the little niece or nephew of mine going to be?" he asked, Stefan glared at him with so much hate Carina was surprised Enzo didn't burst into flames.
"My legitimate niece or nephew" Stefan hissed, Carina smiled.

"Hmmm" she hummed, Stefan's eyes pleaded with hers to tell him, but she was having fun with this.

"It's a boy isn't it?" Stefan asked his eyes wide, Carina pursed her lips.
"No, it's a bloody girl!" Enzo called and he hugged her and she smiled.
"It's a baby girl" Carina said smiling and Stefan blinked in shock.

Carina smiled as they all embraced her, but her eyes never left Damon's.

-.-.-

Enzo opened the car door for her.
"Wait, she is coming with us" Stefan said, Enzo raised his eyebrow.
"Well I do believe her stuff is at the original's house" Enzo said and Carina gasped.
"Klaus!" she yelled and pulled out the phone.
"Wait, since when do you have a phone?" Damon asked
"The original gave it to her" Enzo said, Carina scowled.
"Stop calling him that" she snapped annoyed, he put his hands up in surrender.
"Let me see that" Stefan said and she held it to her heart.
"It is a mobile phone, Nik gave me it and I have to call him" she said calmly, she unlocked it and then bit her lip.
"Okay help" she said, Damon walked over to her and tapped on the contacts book.
"That is a contacts book, and that" he said tapping the only contact called KLAUS and then pressing the green icon that immediately called him "Is how you call him" he said and then she pressed it to her ear and smiled at him and nodded.

After the first few rings she heard a noise and perked up.
"Nik" she said as he said "Carina" she heard him laugh slightly.
"How is the flight?" she asked
"It is fine, my own jet, my own blood bags and champagne" he said and she smiled
"I'm having a baby girl" she said excitedly.
"What? Congratulations!" he said and she beamed rubbing her stomach as she proceeded to ramble on to him about what happened eagerly into her new phone.

"Goodbye Klaus" she said as she hung up on him, she felt something drip, she looked down and saw a spot of blood on her boot, she frowned as it dripped on her hand, she immediately touched her nose and gasped slightly.

Hybrids don't get nosebleeds! She narrowed her eyes.

"Carina! Carina what happened?" Stefan asked rushing up to her, she looked at him confused, her hands were now covered in blood.

"I-I don't know, nothing happened" she said.
"Damon get me some tissue" Stefan said Damon's eyes widened slightly, she held her hand out towards Stefan, not knowing what to do as more blood oozed from her nose, Stefan pinched the bridge of her nose but it didn't seem to slow down.

Damon rushed back with tissue in his hands, Stefan pressed it to her nose as she frowned in a trance.

"Why is this happening? Does it happen to hybrids all the time?" she asked confused as her hands ghosted over her stomach.

"Hybrids? No, pregnant hybrids? Well there has never been one" Damon said.

Just then she inhaled through her nose as veins began to appear under her eyes.
"Oh dear" Enzo said laughing and her eyes turned yellow.
"I have some blood bags in my trunk-" Stefan said and she screwed her face up in disgust.
"I thank you, but I will have to decline that offer" She said and flashed away.
"Carina!" Stefan called, she stopped in front of a teenage boy, she smiled at him as blood oozed from her nose.

"Don't scream, don't move and forget all about this. Make sure you don't die for a few days" she said sweetly and then dove her fangs into his neck gulping furiously only to be pried away by Damon, she panted as blood stopped flowing from her nose, she sneered at Damon who wiped her nose with the tissue.
"You can't go doing that in broad daylight, this town hunts vampires" he snapped.
"How about an century old pregnant hybrid?" she asked, he smirked.
"I appreciate your wit, but Stefan is anti-from-the-vein" he said
"Our daughter was hungry... though, she had a rather odd way of showing it" she said and he smiled, she caught the trickle of blood from her chin with the tip of her finger and licked it.

"One last bite, quick" Damon said and she smiled and patted his cheek.
"Good sport" she winked and he rolled his eyes, she sauntered round to the boy and sunk her fangs into his neck, he grunted as she almost killed him, down to the last drop she bit into her wrist and roughly shoved it into his mouth, he too gulped it down and she smiled and patted his head.

"Off you trot, remember, don't die, if you do… I'll kill you "she said and he nodded and walked away in a daze.

"Come on Dracula" Damon said as he averted his gaze, she rocked back and forth on her heels.
"Uncomfortable?" she asked him.
"It's just not how I remember you" he said
"I have always been like this Damon. You just haven't seen it" she said and licked her lips for any last remains of blood.
"Satisfied daughter?" she asked looking at her stomach and pressing her palm to it.

"Lets go" Damon said but she was already gone.

Carina sat staring blankly at Stefan as he rambled about what to do and what not to do,

But she zoned in when he mentioned his nosebleeds.

"Your bloodbags don't satisfy me and your niece, I didn't kill anyone anyway… That was Nik" she said.

"I'm back" Katherine called sauntering through the door with duffel bags and shopping bags on her arms, another girl followed behind.
"Oh Carina" she said looking her up and down, Carina scoffed and crossed her legs.
"Yay the whiny sickness is back" she muttered, the girl glared at her and she glared back.
"This is Nadia, my daughter" Katherine said, Carina arched her brow at her.
"You have a daughter?" She asked
"Yes, what do you have?" she asked
"Looks like we have a thing in common" she said cooly
"Looks like it, congratulations" Katherine said coldly and beckoned the girl to follow her to her room.
"Nice to meet you, Carina" the thick accented Nadia spoke, Carina smiled sweetly.
"Pleasure" she said.

-.-.-

"Thank you Enzo" she said as he helped her out of the car, there was a party at whitmore, and she so happened to be invited… well by Enzo anyway…. Who invited himself.

"Oh god" Elena growled as she saw Carina and Enzo, she glowered at her outfit, she had another blouse tucked into a red skirt and a leather jacket and the same boots.

She vamp flashed towards them.
"What are you doing here?" she hissed.
"I am celebrating! I am having a baby girl" she said
"You can't get drunk" she hissed
"But I can have fun" she said shoving Elena out of the way.
"If you don't mind, I would like it if you shut up and stopped whining for once" she said and strutted away, Enzo shrugged smiling and followed a teenage girl into the house.

"forget this ever happened" she compelled an intoxicated teenager as she licked her lips, she fed him blood and he left, she rounded the corner and bumped into someone, she wiped her mouth quickly and looked up at the older man.

"Hello, sorry I didn't see you there" he said eyeing her suspiciously, she smiled.
"You have blood on you" he said
"Oh yeah, I had a nose bleed" she lied swiftly
"Oh, okay, my name is Doctor Wes, what is yours?" he asked
"Carina, Carina Bird" she said
"Well Carina" he said digging in his pocket, he pulled out a syringe, unnoticed by Carina.
"Well? Speak" she demanded, he jabbed the needle in her neck, she gasped in pain as he injected the burning fluid into her neck, she yelled in pain and clutched her neck.

"Nice try" she growled veins growing, "I was tortured by witches for years, the amount of vervain I consumed and adjusted to gives me enough time" she growled as her legs shook, she dove her fangs into his neck, his blood contained a lot of vervain, it burned her, he screamed and she growled, she fell to the floor and spat his blood out, she was slowly drifting to unconsciousness.

"Enzo!" She screamed.
"Carina!" Damon yelled coming to her, she weakly held her hand out to him and collapsed, he saw red as Doctor Wes escaped.

All he could focus on was saving Carina and taking her back to safety.
"Get us out of here" she rasped into the cool grass and he carried her bridal style and vamp flashed them to his car.
"Damon!" Elena called
"That psycho doc is getting on my last nerve" Damon growled as he laid Carina gently in the backseat.
"Oh for god sake! I can't believe she showed him she was a vampire!" Elena yelled
"She didn't do that!" he growled
"Oh yeah? She has blood all over her! She is so stupid" Elena hissed.
"I have just about had enough of you and your stupid jealousy problem! What the hell is wrong with you?" he yelled.
"Maybe it's because since she came back, you haven't even looked at me the same!" Elena yelled
"She is pregnant; she is carrying my child, what am I supposed to do? I'm not abandoning her, not again" he said
"You're choosing her over me?" she squeaked, tears coming to her eyes, his eyes stared into space in thought.
"Yeah, yeah I am, I chose my child, and my best friend" he said and slammed the car door
"Goodbye Elena" he said
"Wait Damon! No!" she yelled, he got in the car and turned on the engine, he glanced at Carina.
"I'm taking you home, you are safe with me" he muttered and drove off, in his mirror he saw Doctor Wes standing in the road clutching his neck.

He was going to get revenge on him, even more so now.

He'd never admit it, but he'd do anything for Carina.

Better late than never.

Sorry! Please don't be mad.

And Wes knows, ooo.

Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a wonderful time, I hope I get the chance to update soon!
