Chapter 21 "Home Sweet Home"

"Let's get you home wifey."

Elena was sleeping peacefully when a thump woke her up. She blinked a few times, waking up groggily from her nap and saw Damon struggling with suitcases…Her suitcases. She looked around and memories of the morning events flooded back.

Some hours earlier

The drive back home had been a quiet one, a silence quickly broken the moment they reached home and her children had come bouncing down to her. Damon had to step in to keep Sophia from throwing herself at Elena, fearing she might get hurt. Elena wanted to tell him to let them but she preferred to let it be for now.
She was still feeling weird from Damon's attitude, given the last time they had talked before her accident, he had clearly said he was done with her. He had placed her on their living room couch and had blabber something about getting "the" room ready for her. She was not understanding his attitude – It was as if everything were back to normal – A world where her husband was in love with her and nothing had ever happened except for the physical pain that reminded her that she nearly died. Not standing being idle on that couch anymore, Elena painfully rose up, struggling to keep her balance. Slowly, she made her way towards the stairs, wincing as a shot of pain passed through her broken leg.

"And what do you think you're doing?" Elena raised her head towards the voice she had longed to hear for some many weeks before.

"I don't know. You tell me Damon. What am I doing here?" She asked, unable to retain herself any longer.
Damon frowned at her question and simply came down the stairs towards her. Without speaking, he scooped her up in his arms, looking at her straight in the eyes. He had to fight hard the urge to kiss her…The urge he had been having ever since she had opened her eyes on that hospital bed. He felt her wrap her arms around his neck and reveled in the feeling of her touch. He made his way towards their bedroom and Elena frowned even more as she realized where he was taking her.
Slowly, Damon lowered her onto their bed as he watched Elena closed her eyes, clearly remembering the softness of their bed. He smiled a little at the sight and wished he could just scoop up in bed with her.
Slowly, Elena opened her eyes and saw Damon staring at her with a smile. She intended to ask him again why she was her after what had happened but seeing that smile she had missed, those blue eyes and she could do nothing except get lost in them.
"You should sleep a little 'Lena. I'll be back soon."

She watched him leave and all she wanted to do was screamed "Stay!" but she did not. She watched him leave their bedroom and her.

The sound of something falling woke her from her slumber. Opening her eyes, she saw him struggling with her suitcases and she wondered what was going on.
"What is it?"

Damon turned around frowning as he saw she was awake.

"Sorry. I did not mean to wake you up."

"What's all that Damon? What is going on? Why am I here? Why am I in our bedroom?"

Elena knew she had yelled a little bit but she had to know.

"What do you mean why you are here? You had an accident. I brought you home, where you should be. What is there not to understand?" Damon was looking straight at her, coming closer to the bed.

"I remember what you said before the accident Damon. I don't want to be in a house where I am not wanted."

Damon sat down closely to her and without any words; he lowered his lips towards her and simply kissed her.

"Right. Who said you were not wanted?" He said, after pulling back.
