Chapter 4: Arms

"Elena, where'd you go?"

Elena flashed back to modern day and realized what she'd been doing. She turned to see Stefan walking down the hall.

"Hey, there you are. Lexi's here and Jenna and Alaric just pulled up."

"Yeah sorry, I was just having a moment."

"S'okay, I can't believe it's been six years." Stefan said replying to her unspoken thought.

"I know, they're little miracles."

"Yeah and they're our miracles." Stefan pulled her into a deep kiss.

She'd made it. Elena Gilbert – Salvatore made it through vengeful ex's and plotting Originals. She'd made it through bumped heads and upset tummies. And she realized that everything happened for a reason and this was how it was supposed to be.

10:30 pm

Birthday cake eaten and presents opened and non-claimable kids gone, Stefan and Elena were exhausted. After cleaning up the last bit of wrapping paper and plates, they made their way up to bed.

Elena walked over to get her pajamas and when she turned around she saw that Stefan had collapsed on the bed. Elena just turned and headed toward the bathroom.

A few minutes later she reappeared and saw that Stefan had changed and was under the covers. She came over and rested her head against his chest.

"Remind me again why we had kids?" Stefan questioned

"Because you can't say no to me," Elena said with a smile. "Plus you love every second of it."

"Yeah I guess, are you nervous?"

"About what?"

"The future."

Elena turned and propped herself on her elbows so she could look at him.

"No, I'm not nervous, know why? Because I have you, I have everything I've always wanted. I have amazing friends, an amazing career, and an amazing family. So I'm not nervous, in fact I'm anticipating the future. I want it to come."

"So are you sure you want to do this?" Stefan asked.

"Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about that," Elena slowly started her reasoning. "Well as it turns out, Bonnie didn't read the spell very carefully. It seems that the spell she performed was a little more permanent than we thought."

"Elena what are you saying?" Stefan said sitting straight up and looking at his wife.

"Well remember back a few weeks ago when we took that trip up to the lake while Caroline watched the girls. Well it was a full moon, and part of the spell was that you had to conceive on a full moon…" She broke off mid-sentence. "Stefan are you okay?"

Stefan had gone into shock. Elena had decided to go ahead and spit it out even though Stefan had figured it out.

"Stefan, I'm pregnant, again." Elena relaxed but Stefan didn't.

It took a few minutes, but he finally relaxed and leaned back against the pillows.

"So I'm guessing you won't be turning for another nine months?"

"Well I don't think transition would be too good for the baby."

"You're pregnant," he repeated

"I'm pregnant," she echoed.

"Again."

"Again."

"Wow," Stefan sighed.

"You can say that again."

"Wow," he sighed again.

Elena chuckled, "are you happy?"

There was a short pause before he answered. "Yeah, I really am. This is a miracle!" Stefan turned to give Elena a kiss.

"Good because it's a little too late to back out now," Elena just smiled as he leaned over to give her another kiss.

"Randa, Gabby hurry up. Daddy's taking you to school today," Elena called up the stairs. She could hear little pitter patter of feet upstairs and could only hope they were getting ready. She set their oatmeal on the table just as they came racing down the stairs.

"How many times have I told you, no racing on the stairs," Elena scolded

"We're sorry mommy," they said in a sheepish way that always melted her heart.

"It's okay babies just eat your oatmeal, you'll have to leave soon."

Elena went back to cleaning up the kitchen when she soon felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her.

"Stefan, not in front of the girls." She tried to pull away but the arms just got tighter.

"Wrong brother."

In that second she spun around to see Damon standing directly in front of her, signature smirk in place.

"God don't scare me like that." She swatted him away and went to clean up the girl's mess.

"Sorry you're just easy to scare," Damon said walking over to sit next to Gabby.

"Uncle Damon?" Miranda asked.

"Yes Randa-bear?"

"What happened to Auntie Rose?"

"Well she had to go home to see her family. She can't spend her whole time here now can she?"

"Oh okay," Miranda took that as a suitable answer.

Damon turned just to see Elena sigh and roll her eyes. He could tell she didn't like lying to them but it was to keep them safe. Besides, they didn't know if the girls were half vampire yet and they honestly didn't want to know. Right now they were alive and healthy. They didn't have to know that Rose had left to kill little bunnies for life. That was too cruel.

"Girls hurry up and finish so you can brush your teeth," Elena said in her motherly tone. The girls finished their oatmeal then ran (yes again) up the stairs. At the same time Stefan was descending the stairs.

"Morning," he said kissing Elena.

"Morning," she replied, "Are you going to pick up the girls after school?"

"Arg, no, I forgot I have a meeting with the publisher today."

"It's okay; I think my meeting with my editor is at twelve so I should be done by 2:30."

"Okay good," Stefan said then turned around and yelled for the girls to come. "Okay bye, I promise I won't be late for dinner."

"Ok we'll talk later about other things," Elena leaned up to kiss Stefan goodbye. Right on cue the girls came down and ran to give Elena and Damon a hug goodbye.

"Bye be good for the teacher, love you," Elena called. Once everyone had left, she finally relaxed in a chair at the table.

"Wow you guys are such a family," Damon snickered. Elena had almost forgotten he was in the room.

"Shut up! You're just jealous," she yelled throwing a balled up napkin at his head. He artfully dodged it but still…

"No it's weird, like were living in a parallel universe or something."

"Yeah I guess it kinda does." Elena pondered this for a second. "But if it is, I don't want to go back. I like it here." She smiled and got up to do her own work.

Damon watched as she left and chuckled to himself, "Yeah, I like it here too."

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for
You to let me go
You put your arms around me
And I'm Home

So tell me what you think! You'll get to meet the conflict in the next chapter! Please read and review! Also who else will cry if Stefan and Elena don't get back together by the end of the season! I know I will!
