Elena looked at Damon; his hand was on her stomach, feeling the baby's strong heartbeat against his hand. He seemed so happy and content with the world.

"Is he alright?" Elena asked.

Damon looked at Elena, with raised eyebrows.

"We don't know that yet Elena." Damon did not want Elena to get her hopes up. Anything could happen; it was only early stages of the pregnancy. Something suddenly caught Damon's attention, he made sure Elena was still buckled in, and drove full speed down the dirt track. Elena put her hand over Damon's. He exhaled and slowed down; he knew that they couldn't run from Stefan forever. He wanted a stable home for his new family.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want him to hurt you or the baby," Damon was showing his sensitive side. Elena nodded in understanding but gave Damon the look to say 'you know he wouldn't'. There was a banging on the car window, and Elena screamed in surprise. Damon somehow managed to calm her down. He kissed her forehead and got out of the car. Elena tried to get out of the car, but one of them, most probably Damon, pressed their back against the car door.

"Damon, what…why…but…For god sake…" Stefan struggled for words; he was finding it hard to talk. Damon just stood there, staring at Stefan, pretending not to care. There was distinctive tension between the brothers. Stefan just collapsed into the dry dirt, sobbing uncontrollably. Damon had shattered all his dreams, taken everything from him.

"You took her from me, Damon; you have Elena, and now your baby." Stefan stated the obvious to Damon, digging at the soil. Damon looked away, feeling awkward and slightly guilty. He understood, full well, what he'd done, but Stefan made it seem a lot worse. All Damon had done is slept with Elena; he hadn't meant to get her pregnant.

Stefan managed to pull himself together, and he stood up.

"How is she?" Stefan knew he couldn't make this all about him, Elena was important too.

Damon quickly looked at Stefan, giving him a puzzled look.

"She's fine, Stefan. Why wouldn't she be?" Damon said to Stefan, getting irritated and frustrated with the situation. This whole conversation was built on questions and evil, heartbroken looks. Damon couldn't take anymore of this, so he got back into the car, and pressed his forehead against the steering wheel. Elena placed her hand on his back, trying to calm him down, she knew if he got too angry, he'd end up doing something he's eventually regret.

"He loves you so much Elena, and everything he ever wanted, I've got," Damon whispered, he did care about Stefan, and he'd realised that his desire to have Elena for himself, had left Stefan in a heartbroken mess. Elena felt guilty, realising that she'd always been a massive temptation for both brothers.

"I'm sorry," Elena apologized, curling in a ball on her seat, her hands on her slight bump. Damon sighed, he was frustrated but he wasn't frustrated with Elena, but with everything else. Stefan was giving him the guilt trip, and Damon was worried about Elena's health.

"Elena, this isn't your fault, never ever assume that. We need to go to Washington, up to Port Angeles."

Elena looked at Damon with a confused look, she wanted to know why Washington state, but she didn't want to fuss Damon.

"Let's go."

Elena slept most of the 2,850 miles, but when she was awake, she spent most of the time talking to her bump, that seemed to be getting bigger, as the hours progressed. Damon let her sleep with her head on his lap; it meant he could have one hand on her stomach, feeling his baby. While they were driving from Seattle to Port Angeles, Elena was sat next to Damon with her head on his shoulder.

"We haven't thought of names yet." Elena suddenly said.

Damon looked at Elena, and nodded.

"You've been sleeping most of the time, plus why don't we wait a little while?" Damon whispered.

"Damon, I'm the size of a whale already. I'm most probably going to have the baby any day soon. We need names," Elena exclaimed.

Damon sighed and kissed her forehead.

"I'm not fussed babe, as long as it's not Katherine or Klaus." He said with a chuckle.

Elena nodded, before being quiet again, soothed by the movements of her baby….
