Damon and Elena had just finished getting dressed and ready when they both heard a car pull up outside.
"That will be Meredith" Elena smiled excitedly.
Damon got up and flashed down the stairs opening the door.
"Good you can help me unload this" Meredith said pointing to her car that seemed loaded with equipment.
"How did you get it in?" Damon asked.
"I had to pull a lot of favors with the other doctors" Meredith shrugged impassively ad opened her boot.
"Oh thank you meredith" Elena grinned running out and giving her a hug, she couldnt wait to see what would come up.
"Elena I want you to know that this equipment is for human children, and considering you and Damon are vampires we have no idea what we could see" Meredith explained not wanting elena to be dissapointed.
"I know but its so exciting" Elena smiled and went to pick up some equipment but Damon gently slapped her hand away.
"Pregnant women aren't meant to lift anything heavy" Damon scolded with a smirk.
"Im a pregnant vampire which means i can do it" Elena retorted.
"I wouldn't risk it" Damon said giving her a look. Meredith watched the interratiction with wide eyes, she had never seen Damon look so... normal.
Once inside Meredith set everything up and ordered Elena to lay on the sofa.
Damon was nearly trembling with excitement, the only thing stopping him from doing so is the worry that his reputation will be ruined by meredith.
"Lift your shirt please" Meredith smiled and Elena lifted showing her small yet noticible bump. Meredith squeezed on the cool gel and used the wand to start scanning. Both damon and Elena held there breath whilst staring at the screen in anticipation, hoping to see there little creation.
Finally a picture appeared on the screen, there little bundle was curled in a tight ball.
"There you are, this is your baby" Meredith smiled.
Elena felt tears beginning to form and she stole a quick glance at damon to see his eyes fpcused souly on the baby, they had a slight glassy look to them.
"Those are the arms and these are the legs, and im pretty sure you can see the part that is the head" Meredith smiled looking at the screen gesturing to the different parts.
"Do you know the gender?" Elena asked her eyes not moving from the screen, her tears have finally spilled over onto her cheeks.
"Do you both want to know?" She asked and Elena looked over at Damon.
"I prefer surprises" Damon smiled leaning over and wiping away the stray tears off Elena's cheeks.
"A surprise it is" Elena grinned giving him a soft peck on the lips.
"Well then i guess there's just the heart beat to hear now" Meredith stated with a smile, "But before i do that, how many pictures do you want?" Meredith asked.
"7, one for each of our family, Bonnie, jeremy, Matt, Caroline, Stefan and Alaric" Elena answered and meredith sent the image of to the printer.
She swiftly flicked a switch and the room that was once silent, was flooded with the sound of what Elena thought was water, the slow and Steady thump of a heartbeat was the only other sound interfering.
Damon couldnt hold it back anylonger and a single tear fell from his ocean blue eyes that seem to glow with emotion.
"Its slow, but im guessing its to do with the vampire heratige although i cannot be sure, how have you been feeling Elena?" Meredith questioned.
"Fine, i still have more normal diet of blood but i also sometimes have human food, nothing seems to have changed yet" Elena shrugged.
"Well i would suggest increasing your food intake since the baby has some form of a heart beat it appears to have a human aspect to it" Meredith advised.
"Is there anything else we can do? Anything at all?" Damon asked.
"Not really, making sure Elena has no stress and is comfortable is one of the best things you can do" Meredith reasured " I would say your due date is in august some time"Merdith smiled and Elena nodded she had 7 months to get ready to be a mother.
"Thank you meredith" Damon smiled and shook her hand.
"Your welcome Damon, Elena's next appointment is march 8th, so basically next month, i will be here then" She informed and began to pack up.
Damon helped and in no time, Damon and Elena were left alone, still reliving the events of what had happened earlier in there minds unable to forget, and wishing they never did.
"Are you happy?" Elena asked looking up at him.
"Of course i am, i have never been happier Elena" Damon smiled bringing her down on the sofa so they would lay together, Elena resting on his chest.
"What do you think the baby's going to be? She asked softly.
"I think we are going to have a mini Elena" Damon whsipered with a smiled "what do you think?"
"I dont think i know, we are having a mini Damon" Elena smriked.
"What makes you so sure?" Damon asked curiously.
"Its a mothers instict to know" She smiled patting his cheek playfully.
"Definatly a girl" Damon mumbled.
Just then there peaceful moment was ruined by the front door being slammed open making Damon and Elena jump into defence.
"You had the baby scan without me?" Caroline squeeled accusingly Bonnie, Matt and Jeremy following close behind.
Damon and Elena looked at each other and smiled taking one anothers hands.
