AN: Chapter 4. XD

17 weeks later. November 8th 2011.

"Ugh Jenna, I swear this kid is trying to kill me." I complain, squeezing the life out of her hand.

"Well, he just decided he wanted to join our dysfunctional family sooner than we planned."

I laugh, but then another contraction starts.

"I might need that hand some day, Elena." Jenna says, trying to pry my hand off of her's.

"I'll go get the doctor." She says, walking out into the hallway. When she returns I grab her hand again. "The doctors coming, just hold on."

"I want Damon."

"What?" She asks worriedly.

"Call Damon. I want him here with me. Please Jenna." I plead.

"Ok, ok, I'll call him. Don't go anywhere." She says sarcastically. I roll my eyes and look for something new to squeeze.

Ten minutes later and the doctor is telling me to push. Not exactly something you want to hear when your in pain. I'd much rather have him yelling 'Get her a sedative' or morphine or something. Giving birth was not something I imagined myself doing at 18. Maybe starting college or moving away from home but not being a parent.

"I can't do this" I whisper in realization. "I can't do this alone." I tell Jenna.

"You won't have to." A familiar voice says from the doorway.

"Damon" I sigh in relief. He rushes over to me and grabs my hand, pushing the hair off my face.

"I'm scared." I tell him.

"Its ok to be scared." He says.

"Want to know a secret?" He asks.

I give a faint nod and he leans forwards, his lips at my ear. "I'm scared too."

I squeeze his hand, reassuring him now. After many more excruciating minutes with that god forsaken doctor and his damn commands to push, I hear a cry. A baby's cry. The doctor cuts the umbilical cord and hands him to me. I stare in wonder at my baby boy. Damon kisses my forehead and stares at the little miracle in my arms.

"Congratulations on your son. What's his name?" The doctor asks.

"Alexander Zane Salvatore." I tell him, smiling, eyes never leaving my baby's.

"Welcome to the family, baby Alex." Damon says smiling.

After that they have to take Alex to the nursery to get cleaned up. The smiles never leave mine and Damon's faces.

DPOV.

After walking to the front desk and getting a wrist band, I decide to head towards the nursery. The nurse who lets me in keeps staring at me like I'm some kind of germ.

"Salvatore" I tell her, and she nods. I follow her to the back and she picks up a newborn. I feel the smile spread across my face once again. She steps towards me expectantly but I step back.

"Aren't you going to hold him?" She asks, annoyed.

How the hell am I supposed to know how to hold a baby? I almost ask her. She sighs and steps towards me again.

"Sit down in the rocking chair. Now hold him like I am now. Just make sure you support his head and you'll both be fine." She says.

She leans down and lays him in my arms. "You have a beautiful son." She tells me.

My breath gets caught in my throat. He's so small and fragile. I use my pinky and play with his fingers. He grabs it and wraps his hand around it, holding on tightly. A smirk appears on my face. At least one person here likes me.

"Hey little man, I'm your uncle Damon."

I spend the next two days in the nursery or in Elena's room. Alex hardly ever leaves my arms when he isn't in Elena's.

I'm sitting in the chair beside Elena's bed watching her sleep, Alex is wide awake in my arms.

"You get to come home today" I whisper to him. His eyes stare into mine curiously, his hand once again wrapped around my pinky.

"Your mom let me decorate your room, so its pretty awesome. I should probably let you know what your going home to."

"There's aunt Jenna and her boyfriend Alaric, who's my only friend besides your mom. Alaric used to be a vampire slayer but now he sticks to teaching. Jenna helped raise your mom. She's a fun women just don't get on her bad side, that's when things get ugly."

"You have another uncle, his name is Jeremy. He's a punk but he has his good days. Jeremy is dating your mom's best friend Bonnie. She's a witch, literally."

"There's your god mother Caroline, AKA vampire Barbie. She's annoying and talks a lot, but other than that, and don't tell her I said this, she's pretty cool. You already met your mom but you can't even begin to imagine how awesome she is yet.

"Then there's your dad. His name was Stefan, and as you probably guessed, he was my brother. He died this summer. Your mom loved him very much and I kinda did too. He was a great guy, and probably would've been a great dad if he'd had the chance."

"There's not much to say about me. Just know that I'll always be here for you no matter what. Whenever you need someone to talk to just let me know. I think I already love you, little man."

EPOV.

After getting Alex settled in his car seat with a pacifier, we were on our way home. I hadn't been this happy in months. When we get home Damon takes Alex out and holds him, leaving me to carry the bags.

"Thanks for the help Damon." I say sarcastically. He turns to smirk at me before walking inside.

I drop the bags by the front door and walk inside to see Damon pouring himself a drink while holding my baby with one arm.

"Damon!" I yell. I walk over and take Alex from him, going to sit on the floor in front of the couch. After Damon gets his drink he comes and joins us.

The next day while Damon is at a council meeting, I get Alex dressed nice and warm and put him in his car seat. When we get there I carry him to the head stone and sit down, holding him in my lap.

"Congratulations, your a daddy now."

"Stefan, meet your son Alex." I say smiling. "He's three days old today. Isn't he perfect?"

"I think he has your eyes. I can't believe we made him. Its really a miracle if you think about it. Even Damon loves him."

The next few weeks are spent, changing diapers, getting puked on, and learning to live without sleep. After 2 months, baby Alex finally decides he's ready to sleep through the night. I wouldn't have survived this long without Damon's help.

I open my eyes to Damon's room again. I get up and walk towards the door, hoping to go grab some breakfast. When I reach the door I turn around and take in the sight on the bed. Damon is sleeping on his back with Alex lying on his chest. They both look so peaceful. A smile appears on my face as I walk downstairs to make coffee.

AN: The next chapter might leap a few months ahead. Unless you guys want me to focus on the early months XD
