Flashbacks are in italics

We walk into the boarding house and find Damon and Jeremy in the study. Stefan looks at me and he can tell I am in no state to speak so he does.

"Damon we need to ask you something. And please, we need a serious answer."

He gives us a smirk and says, "Well that depends on the question."

I sigh and roll my eyes. Why does he have to be so difficult sometimes? I see Jeremy give a slight chuckle so I shoot him a look to tell him to shut up. He immediately becomes serious again. He may be a vampire now, but I'm still his older sister and that look works every time.

Stefan ignores Damon's comment and continues. "We didn't think it was possible, but it seems that Elena is pregnant." It's quiet for a moment and then Stefan continues. "And—

But he is cut off by a very pissed off Jeremy. "What? How the hell did that happen?" He looks directly at me. "Do you always just jump into bed unprotected? You should have been more careful!"

Now I'm pissed. "He's a vampire, Jeremy! I didn't think I could get pregnant and if I had known of course we would have been protected. So back off!" That's when Stefan steps in.

"Okay, everyone needs to calm down." Stefan yells, cutting off whatever Jeremy was about to say. We're both still angry but we quiet down. "As I was saying…" He looks at Damon. "Damon, we want to know if you have ever some across this before."

Damon smiles. "I personally am not familiar with your predicament but I have heard things." He stops there.

Now we're all impatient. "Well, what have you heard?" I ask maybe a little too forcefully.

Damon just continues to smile as if we're talking about the weather. "Well, it's mostly like a real pregnancy, Twilight got it all wrong. The baby won't rip out of you, that's just revolting. And it won't grow ridiculously fast either. The pregnancy will still be nine months and when the child reaches the age the mother was when it was born, it will stop aging. So in your case, once the kid reaches seventeen it will stop growing. And now the vampire parts, the kid can be sustained by either blood or regular food, but will likely prefer blood. Also, Elena, you will not crave blood, that is just gross as well. The baby will also be a little more durable and faster than a human. And that's about it. That Stephanie Meyer chick really should have done some more research."

I give him a confused look. "Damon, where did you hear all this?"

He smirks again, "Oh, you know, just from the grape vine, rumors."

I hear a door slamming upstairs and its then that I realize that Jeremy is no longer in the room.

I sigh and look at Stefan. "I'm going to go talk to him." I kiss Stefan on the cheek and head upstairs.

"Jeremy? Can we talk?" I knock and open his door and see that his room is a complete mess. His desk, bed, and dresser are all turned over. The lamp in his room is in pieces on the floor near my feat. He must be really angry; I can't believe he did all this. It's been six weeks and it's still hard to get used to the fact that he's vampire. I remember that night perfectly.

I walked in the front door and find it eerily quiet. I lean on the banister and yell upstairs. "Jeremy? Are you up?" But I get no answer and then I hear some noise coming from the kitchen

I walk into the kitchen and can't believe what I'm seeing. My recently discovered biological father lying on the floor covered in blood and clearly dead. There's just so much blood.

I run the phone and am about to call 911 but I stop myself and instead call Stefan first. It's such a coincidence, this could not have been random and must be vampire related.

He picks up right away. Before he even says anything I rush out, "There's no time to explain, just get here now!"

"I'll be right there." And he hangs up.

I run upstairs and into Jeremy's room hoping that he's not hurt as well. I see him lying on his bed; looking like he is asleep and at first I feel relief. But as I look closer I can't see the rising and falling of his chest. I run to him, screaming his name. I shake him, trying wake him up, but he just lies still. At this point, the tears are pouring down my face.

I don't see any blood or any marks on him, he looks so peaceful. I look around the room trying to see if there are any signs of s struggle but there's nothing. Only the normal mess that you would find in a teenage boys bedroom. That's when I see the bathroom is wide open, the light is still on, and something orange rolling around on the counter. I run into the bathroom and see an empty bottle of pills and an empty vial that's stained with blood.

I'm so shocked by what I found in the bathroom that I don't even hear Stefan come up behind me.

"Elena, what the hell happened? John is dead in the kitchen and Jeremy is just sleeping right through it." And that's when he sees the tears in my eyes. "What is going on?"

"Stefan, Jeremy isn't asleep. I think he's turning into a vampire."

"What? That's no possible unless he has vampire blood in his system." That's when I hand him the pill bottle and vial. He looks at them for a moment. There is a small amount of blood left at the bottom of the vial, Stefan sticks his pinky finger in it and tastes it. He sighs heavily. "That's definitely vampire blood." He then walks over to the bed and puts two fingers on Jeremy's neck. "His pulse is way faster then it should be, yet he's not breathing. Your right Elena, he's changing and I'm sorry but he's too far into the conversion to stop it." He could see how emotionally drained I was and pulled me into him. "Come on. We need to get Jeremy back to the house and don't worry about John, Damon is taking care of it."

We get back to the boarding house and wait there in silence for Damon to get back as well. Time felt like it was moving in slow motion, I almost couldn't comprehend everything that had happened.

The front door opens then closes and Damon meets us in Stefan's room. We're sitting on the end of Stefans bed and he has his arm around me, trying to comfort me.

"I cleaned up the kitchen and got rid of Johns body. I also forged a note from John to your Aunt Jenna saying that he was leaving town and isn't planning on coming back."

Stefan looks up at his brother, "Thank you Damon. But it seems like we have another problem." Damon doesn't say anything so Stefan just continues. "It appears that Anna gave Jeremy some of her blood and he drank it along with a bottle of pills." Stefan nods his head toward the couch, where Jeremy was lying. "He should be waking up soon."

As if on cue Jeremy starts to stir. He wakes up and looks around at all of us. "It worked?" He asks to no one in particular.

We all just look at him but finally Damon is the one to answer. "No, not yet. You need to drink good amount of human blood before you fully become a vampire. If not, you die."

I can't hold it in any longer, I was so upset. "What the fuck were you thinking Jeremy? Why would you do this? To me? To Jenna? How could you do this to her? Did you even think about what this would do to her because now we have to pretend your dead or ran away, just like Vicki. Did you think Jenna wouldn't blame herself? Because you know she will! Damn it Jeremy!" That was the last thing I said to him and then I walked out, slamming the door behind me. I was so angry I couldn't be in that room any longer.

I went and sat outside on the front porch, I don't know exactly how long I was out there for before Stefan came and sat next to me and took my hand in his. My shed tears had long since dried.

"We explained everything to Jeremy. What would happen if he chose to be a vampire and what would happen if he chose not to. He made his choice and Damon is taking him to the hospital right now to get some blood from the blood bank. We think it would be best if Damon just forged another note saying that Jeremy ran away looking for Anna. I'm sorry Elena. I wish there was something I could do. I know this is going to be hard on you and Jenna." He brushes a stray hair behind my ear and gives me a light kiss on the lips that makes my heart flutter even in my current state. "I'm so sorry."

I give him a small smile and sigh. "You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault that Jeremy decided to be an idiot. I didn't want this life for him, that's why I had Damon erase his memory after what happened with Vicki. And Jenna, she's going to be crushed. He made a rash and stupid decision."

He gave me a confused look. "Elena would you rather your brother just die?"

"What? No, of course not. I didn't mean his decision to be a vampire over dying. I meant his decision to take those pills and drink Annas blood in the first place. He obviously didn't even think about how this would affect the rest of us."

Stefan stares into my eyes intently. "Elena, this is going to be a big change for him. I know it will be hard, but you really need to be there for him, he's going to need you."

"Of course I will be there for him. I just don't know how I am going to face Jenna."

I see him sitting in the corner of the room next to his over turned bed. His knees are pressed up against his chest and his arms are wrapped around them, with his head down in his lap.

"Jeremy, please just talk to me. It's not like this was planned. We didn't even think this was possible. Please just say something."

"How far along are you?" he asks without even looking up at me

"The doctor said about five weeks."

Jeremy sighs. "I'm not mad at you Elena. And I'm sorry I yelled at you, I was just really shocked."

"Ha! You and me both Jer."

"I'm just scared for you, that's all."

"But you heard what Damon said. I'll be fine."

Jeremy finally looks up at me and smiles, "that's not why I'm scared. I know you'll be okay and you'll be a great mom. I'm scared for you because you are going to have to Jenna."

Oh shit! I completely forgot about Jenna. That conversation is going to be interesting. Let's just hope there's no wood in her reach when Stefan and I tell her because who knows how she'll react.

I'm really sorry, but I'm working all weekend and then I'm going to the beach till next Sunday. So it may be a little while before I update again. So please just be patient.
