A/N: Sorry for the delay. We had wifi issues almost all week here. So here is a nice long Delena full chapter for you. I have the next chapter almost already written and can post it soon too. Enjoy!
Damon held her tightly to him, whispering soothing words in her ear. His mouth had nearly fallen open at her possible theory and his eyes widened in fear and rage at the thought of that bastard after Elena's baby, his baby. Hell he knew it might not be his but till he knew he wanted to call the precious baby his.
His mind was swirling with all the things they were saying, like they were trying to put together a giant puzzle. He scrunched up his face, deep in concentration. "So, Klaus wanted to get you pregnant?! That sounds insane. Why the hell would he want that? I thought to break the curse he needed to drain you of all your blood. I'm never drunk enough to understand everything."
He felt like he was in shock. Everything they were saying sounded impossible. But it fit too, with what they had already learned and what he had seen in Bonnie's mind. And he did not miss the fact that even though he had only been with Elena yesterday, that this baby could actually be his and not Stefan's, like he had thought. What if this was all because of Klaus and a spell he enacted through Bonnie somehow? The original dick had only shown up yesterday night at the tomb so then maybe, just maybe there was a chance this was his son or daughter! That would be just so amazing, he thought.
He bent his head to kiss her hair and continued to run his hand over her stomach as they sat there, soothing her silent tears. He felt her finally stop shaking in his arms and rubbed his hand gently over her belly. He wanted to tell her without words how much this baby meant to him, even not knowing if it was his and that she could rest in his strength. He would protect them from anything and anyone that would dare threaten them.
He was about ready to suggest her just amputating his hand so he could keep it with the baby all the time, even when he was not with her. He was trying to think on way too little sleep right now. Shit. That would not be possible no matter how much he would love nothing more than to be feeling that heartbeat every second, till he could hold his treasured baby in his arms.
He shook his head, trying to think more to help them figure this out. Some things still felt so out of place. "But Lanie, you said that he didn't get your blood at all. That the vial had broken all over the ground. I mean I wasn't there then and was laying under a piece of my car with fucking metal in my leg, so I didn't see you then...but how would it work then? So how could his plan work if he never had your blood to use for the spell?"
Elena realized he was right. She and Stefan had escaped to the cabin and her blood had gone all over the ground. Nothing made sense. "Well we know that he got your blood for sure and I can't remember him ever getting Stefan's. Do we know anything else? Is there anything you can do Bonnie to find out more?" she mumbled hopefully. This was such a mystery and the very thought that this could have happened because Klaus wanted it, scared her to death at the thought that he wanted her child for something!
Bonnie nodded. "Maybe I can feel something else. If your baby is in fact supernatural, I should be able to sense it." She moved her hand to Elena's belly again and Damon and Elena both moved their hands out of the way. She closed her eyes again and let her feelings guide her.
Damon was watching her deep in concentration and he looked back up at Elena. He didn't say a word thinking he might disrupt Bonnie's focus but he smiled down at his love, lifted his hand to cradle her head and pressed a kiss to the forehead. He could not seem to stop kissing her or showing her any kind of affection. Like if he didn't, he felt short of his own breath until his mouth or his hand or any part of him was touching her again. He saw her smile back at him as they both waited anxiously for Bonnie to find out something, anything that could give them a clue to what Klaus wanted and what was going on.
He turned his head back to the door. He hadn't been paying much attention to anything except her what they were saying here and of course the heartbeat he wanted to never let go of hearing. But now he wondered what was taking Jeremy so long. Yesterday that boy had not looked like he wanted to spend a second away from Bonnie and now it was nearing a half hour and he still wasn't back? Something was not right and he just could not let go of the uneasiness he felt from it.
He stood up and walked closer to the door, listening. There was no sound of a shower going at all and the cabin was silent otherwise. Elena was looking strangely at him and he put his finger to his lips to make sure she stayed quiet. She nodded to him and turned back to look at Bonnie. Damon was just about to head out of the room to see if Jeremy was in fact in the bathroom, when Bonnie's eyes flew open and she gasped.
She had been transported in her mind and could suddenly see Elena laying on the ground. Her belly was huge and she was clutching at it while her other hand was on the ground squeezed into a fist. She could hear her friend screaming in pain, seeing her head thrown back. Oh my God, she realized she was watching Elena in labor! She heard her cry out again and groan low in her throat. Bonnie saw that it looked like she wasn't in a hospital. She looked like she was outside and there was writing on a stone that she was leaning on. 'Gra' was all she could see all Elena was leaning against the rest of the lettering on that line and 'Gil' was underneath it. She heard her cry out and again and look around. She screamed Damon's name and her face was all sweaty. Then she heard another voice. "C'mon Elena. You are almost there. One more push!" She recognized the voice was Caroline's but she could not see her. Where was Damon? Then Elena screamed for Damon again and everything went blank.
Elena had been waiting with baited breath for her friend to tell them something, anything more about this crazy situation. "Bon, hey. What did you see?" Her friend looked a bit disoriented and she quickly reached out to steady her as she looked like she was going to faint. "Hey, Bonnie. Are you okay? What happened?"
Damon was back at their side in an instant and caught Bonnie's shoulder's before she fainted. She looked up at him smiling weakly.
"I saw you, Elena. I must have seen the future. I saw you in labor! Oh my God El, you really are pregnant!" Bonnie cried out.
"You did?!" Elena's eyes were shining with wonder, happy for another conformation of this miracle. This was really happening! Bonnie nodded and Elena threw herself in her friends arms and hugged her again and they rocked back and forth like typical girls celebrating.
Damon watching them nearly squealing in excitement and hugging and he was so happy for her. He still did not know if it was his. He knew she had been with Stefan only a few weeks ago. So how could they figure that out? He was dying to know for sure. "Did you see anything else Bon? Anything to indicate who was the father?"
Elena turned to him, standing up and pulled him into her arms. She knew he must be feeling insecure by everything and she wished there was a way for them to find out if he was in fact her baby's daddy. "Yeah Bonnie. Was there anything else?"
"Yes, I heard you crying out for Damon, but I couldn't see him anywhere. And Caroline was there yelling at you to push Elena. The only weird thing was that I don't know why but I was sure you were not in a hospital but outside somewhere against a big stone with writing on it. But no I couldn't see Damon or anyone else."
Bonnie tried again and put her hand back on Elena's stomach and concentrated and was quiet for over a minute her eyes squeezed shut. Her hand jumped back suddenly and Bonnie's eyes were wide. "Fire. I saw fire and heard crying and screaming I heard Elena crying your name Damon and I'm sure I heard Stefan yelling something. Then there was a crash, like lots of glass breaking. I could not see anything else but it felt as if I was right there and I could feel the fire all around me. I have no idea what that could mean. The room was so full of smoke that I could not even see where it was. In both the visions Elena is calling for you. Where are you Damon? " She turned to him her eyes full of fear at what she saw.
No one knew what to say about that. It sounded horrifying and Damon held Elena and the baby tighter. Why the hell would he not be there, for the birth, or if Elena was trapped in a building on fire!
Bonnie shook her head. Nothing made any sense. "You said you had only been with her yesterday right?"
She was amazed at how much had changed while she had been going in and out of consciousness the day before. She had thought Elena was with Stefan and in not even a day she was with Damon. She must have slept through a lot.
"Uh yeah Bon. That's right," Damon replied, uncomfortable talking about this with anyone 'not' Elena and seeing all three of them choosing not to talk about the fire at all. "After we all got in the cabin safely, Lanie and I carried Stef upstairs to rest. We had been through lots and there was so much emotion. And one thing led to another and yeah." He avoided her eyes but did not in any way want her to think he regretted what they had done. "But yesterday was our first time and we have been together a couple times since."
He looked at Bonnie, hope flooding his eyes. "Do you think the baby could be mine? I mean I don't understand anything really but I thought normally you couldn't hear the heartbeat till at least a couple weeks pregnant? Not a day."
Before Bonnie could answer him Elena felt a tug in her stomach again and her hand flew to her mouth.
Damon could see what was happening in an instant. "Oh no. Again?" he mumbled to her. She nodded and he blurred her into the bathroom just in time for her to lean over the toilet and her stomach contracted hard as she threw up. He held her in his arms, sitting them both on the floor and rubbed her back up and down as she gagged.
Bonnie walked into the bathroom seeing what was happening. "Well that answered my next question about if you had any human signs that you were pregnant." She smiled at her friend, still in shock this was happening. "I guess there isn't a clearer sign."
Damon looked up at her. "Yeah she actually threw up once last night already too. But then we had no idea what could have caused it." He held her hair back from her face and let her lean her head on his shoulder.
She looked weak when she looked back at him after gagging and emptying her stomach of the little that might still be there. "If you did this to me Salvatore, I already hate you," she glared at him.
He grinned back at her. "Oh you will love me so much more when you see that little face for the first time. You will forget all about the aches and pains and vomiting that is likely here to stay for quite awhile." He pulled her head up so he could look into her slightly bloodshot eyes. "I promise I will be here for through everything. And I will do everything I can to ease your pain, sweetness. You are my world and there is nothing I want more than to be right here with you through this."
Elena's glare melted into a tenative smile as she gazed up at him. She pulled his mouth down on hers and he opened to her instantly, capturing her lips and holding her close. She pulled back after she was already getting lost in his kisses when she realized Bonnie was still there in the doorway.
She bent her head against his shoulder. "Sorry Bon, I forgot you were there."
Bonnie smiled back at her. "Its fine Elena. I can see how much you love each other. It's so fricking cute. But I'll give you lovebirds some privacy. I'm going to go check around to see if Jeremy is upstairs. I'm getting worried about him. I'll be back guys." And she disappeared from the doorway.
Damon looked back down at her. "She thinks we are cute. Awe. I think I just charmed your two besties, sweetness." He licked his lips and made another icky face. "But I'll tell what's not cute...you my love," he brushed his thumb against her bottom lip, "need to brush your teeth. I think I tasted last night's omelets, worse than the ones I made for Kat. And those were really bad."
He made that adorable icky face at her again and her hand flew to her mouth totally forgetting that she had just been vomiting and then kissed him in the next minute. She wanted to disappear into the floor. "Oh my God, Damon. I can't believe I did that! I am so embarrassed." She turned her head away from him and looked at the tiled floor.
Damon's laughed, cradling her in his lap where he was still sitting on the floor by the toilet. "It's okay baby. I'm sure we will see much worse of each other yet, especially with you having a baby. They say you shouldn't marry someone till you have seen them with the flu. I'd say this is pretty similar."
Elena laughed fakely. "No, I'm sure pregnancy will be much worse than the flu, honey. I can just imagine how you would feel about me seeing me so huge, waddling when I walk, not being able to paint my own toes, or see my feet at all by the end! I've heard that your whole body can swell up till your toes look like sausages! Are you sure that is going to be okay Damon?" Her eyes were teary and pleading, scared that the more her baby took over her body she wouldn't look beautiful anymore. "No, sexy smooth stomach, instead icky stretch marks. I've heard your breasts get bigger too, and I'll be hungry all the time and so emotional. How will you love me then?"
Damon frowned at her little rant. Everything she said was so cute to him. They had barely said I love you for the first time yesterday and now she was already doubting his feelings for her when she could be pregnant with his child? He would be over the moon for them to be a little family!
"Elena, angel, I will never stop loving you. You will look gorgeous fully pregnant. I'd love to paint your toes. I've always thought duck waddles were so cute. Bigger breasts, bring it on baby, and I'll help you pick out your shoes when you can't see your feet. You know I love your smooth stomach but it will be worth it. Hungry? I can blur to the nearest store or The Grill and compel them to make you what ever you want at any hour. And I think," he said, squeezing his eyes shut a bit not sure of her reaction. "I think you are already getting emotional and I can help you through that too. Watching your body change because of a baby will only make me love you more. You will be radiant and my God sweetness, this baby possibly being mine would be even better."
He bent his head, his forehead against hers, his voice taking on a lower more serious lilt. "But even if it's Stefan's and he doesn't make it. If for some reason we can't save him, I will love his child like it was mine and be the best father I can for Stefan. I will tell his son or daughter every day how much their daddy loved them and what I hero he had been to their mommy and me. They will know him and I will tell them stories of Steffy as a kid and all the crazy things their dad did when he was their age. They will know every day how much he loved them."
"Damon we should tell him about the baby," Elena said.
"We will, I promise," he assured her.
He saw Elena just staring at him her eyes flooded with tears as he spoke. "And if we do save him and the baby is his, I will not get in the way of Stefan being a dad either I promise. I will be whatever you and this little bundle of perfectness need me to be." He had been stroking her face gently as he spoke, his other hand finding the baby again.
She smiled at him. "Oh Damon," she breathed out. "You have no idea how amazing you are." She was beaming at him as he smirked at her.
"I think I have a teeny tiny idea of how amazing I am." She laughed and pulled his face back to hers and kissed him hungrily. He opened to her, cradling her head in his hands, digging his fingers in her soft chestnut locks.
But the next second her expression changed as they kissed and her eyes flew open and she froze. Damon's eyes opened fast too seeing her looking strangely at him one second and then the next she flung herself back toward the toilet and vomited some more. She gripped the edges and let her body empty more from her stomach when she thought it was already empty.
She lay her head on the edge of the toilet not having the strength to keep it up. "Damn it! I kissed you again with my yucky mouth. I must be grossing you out now already. How will you still think I'm beautiful then, all fat?" Her eyes found his as she watched him staring at her, smiling tenderly. Then she turned and gagged some more even though her stomach was empty and there was nothing left.
Damon could not help but grin at the her when she was laying there gagging as he rubbed her back. He did not care that he could taste what she must be tasting now. She had tipped her head up to him and gazed at him with eyes full of so much love. She had loose hairs sticking to her face, and her forehead looked sweaty. Her eyes were more bloodshot than before and he could see she was so, so tired and weak. She had barely eaten anything in days and now he had no idea how much of his tenderly prepared supper she had not thrown up.
He reached to smooth the hairs from her face, smiling so freely at her. "You will never stop being beautiful to me. Right now, with your head on the toilet, seconds after throwing up, your hair sweaty and sticking to your face and all I see is how I can't believe you are mine."
She laughed, shaking her head not believing him after knowing what she must look like right now. "No, Damon, you must be blind then if you see me beautiful now." She stood up shakily and looked in the mirror above the sink. "I have bags under my eyes, and look like I haven't slept in a week. My eyes almost look like yours when you vamp out, they are so bloodshot from puking. My hair is such a mess I don't even think I have worn makeup since before I went to see Stefan in the tomb. I look hideous!"
Damon pulled her back down in his lap where he was still sitting on the floor. "No baby. That is not what I see." She sniffled and was quiet just looking at him with a pout on her lips. "I see your eyes fighting to sleep, despite the nightmares you have had lately. I see that you are so strong despite facing so much fear in your mind. You eyes being bloodshot are because you are taking care of our baby."
He wanted to say that whether it was true or not and he saw her smile at him. "I know, I know," he mumbled to her. "I don't know if it's mine yet but until I do, I want to call it mine, at least if I'm not in front of Stefan." He cleared his throat. "I don't care if you wear make up. You look so beautiful with nothing on...clothes included." He could not resist smirking again. "And your hair, well you know it only looks Medusa-ish because I can't keep my fingers out of it, especially when I'm burying myself in you and making you mine over and over."
She smiled at him, in awe of his words and his devotion to her.
He pulled her closer in his lap, her legs wrapping around him. "I know you probably didn't think you looked beautiful back in the tomb before either but you did...to me. When Brody pushed you on my lap forcing us to kiss, you had blood on your neck and all over your white shirt that I ripped. Your eyes were so full of fear, your hair tangled and caked with blood. " He stroked her hair as he spoke tenderly. "You had bruises on your face and arms and legs, and the bastard had nearly broke your arm till I fed you my blood. But as I sat there with you in my lap, just like now, knowing I was going to get to kiss you and show you even a little bit how much I loved you, I thought you looked as sexy as hell."
Her eyes were so wide, locked on his as he poured out more of his feelings to her. Wow, he was turning into such a sap, he thought to himself. She was shaking her head looking like she still didn't believe him.
He growled at her in annoyance that she could not see what he was seeing. "Fuck baby, you had bourbon dripping down your skin all over you and you have no idea how much I wanted to lick up every drop from your smooth skin. To put my tongue all over your trembling hot body. Kissing you like that, even in the worst circumstances was one of the most passionate experiences of my life. I had imagined kissing you for so long and yearned for it every night and dreamed of you in my arms. And then it was all right there in front of me. You looked at me, your eyes showing fear, but I could see a longing in them for me that maybe you didn't even know of yourself."
He bent his head shyly. "I have a kind of confession to make Lanie."
She was staring at him hearing so much emotion and feelings pouring out of him. There were no walls, nothing between them. He was sharing with her so openly and so earnest. She loved how deeply their relationship was progressing. She was so happy he felt safe to share with her. This side of him had turned her entire world upside down in only a few days and she could not imagine things ever not being like this with him. But now she was curious. His last confession was that their first kiss was not really the first time as he had shown her through her mind that morning.
Damon cleared his throat. "I ah, um when you were sleeping in my arms in the tomb. You were so weak and I had fed you my blood and well at first I was just watching you sleep and seeing all your injuries and what that creep did to you, but soon I saw how sexy your little lace panties were, and your lacy bra peeking out from your shirt and I'll admit... I wanted you then already."
Elena smirked at him. "Now why does that not surprise me, Salvatore. You ogling me while I was sleeping." She was not surprised. Before he had told her that he watched her sleep in her room once he had been invited in/ She had sensed or even smelled him on her some mornings when she woke up. Like he had been close to her and watching her. Normally she would think she would have been freaked out by that thought, but she knew that he was protecting her and keeping her safe in her dreams and at night from enemies. But he was still a man so she was not surprised at what he had done.
"It was more than just looking angel. I kinda saw how much blood you had all over your arm. It looked like the wolf bit you on your hand before I arrived and then I watched the dick dig into your neck to keep me back. So you had a lot of blood all down your arm and throat and even between your fingers."
Her curious and slightly shocked expression made him even more nervous. "I licked up your blood." He looked back at her for any sign of her anger at his confession. "I licked down your arm, had lifted you up and had my tongue on your neck. God baby I felt so good and yet so bad. I licked between your fingers and sucked on them and I heard you moan when I did that. I'm sorry but your blood was just calling to me and tasted so good. I never bit you but my tongue was all over you."
He bent his head back down as he finished. Damon was not even sure he knew why he had shared that with her. Part of him just wanting no secrets, nothing between them. He blinked and looked up and he felt her fingers under his chin. He shook his head, as he thought he heard her softly laughing. Snapping his eyes up to hers he saw her smiling.
"Oh, honey I have a confession too." Her eyes were shiny with her recent tears but then showed a sense of teasing too. "I was dreaming of you then, when I was laying in your arms. I had no idea what you were doing to me right then but in my dreams you were kissing me, all down my arm and along my neck and bare shoulder, and the dream felt so real when you kissed and sucked on my fingers. I swear I could feel you doing that. But when I woke up I was still so scared from where we were and needing to get away that I did not even remember it till now."
Damon studied her as she had shared. She still sat cradled in his arms in his lap and his hands slipped under the hem of her pink top and caressed the skin by her hips. She moaned now and laid her head on his shoulder. "I had no idea you drempt of me. I think our bodies were trying to get us together before your mind was open to it."
Elena sighed, leaning against him. "I remember feeling so relaxed as I slept in your arms and I did not want the dream to end. Your mouth on me felt so good. I thought it was just the dream feeling so vivid and had no idea your tongue had actually been on me then. You definitely are my bad boy."
He laughed. "M mm always. Just for you. But I can turn it all around and be good father to our baby. I promise Elena."
"Our baby," Elena breathed. "I love how that sounds Damon. But I don't want you to get your hopes up and then break your heart if its not yours. I never want you to get hurt."
"I'm tough. I can take it," he promised her. "Just being able to say it feels amazing. But I am very aware of how much it could hurt it she is Stefan's."
Elena looked at him with a playful smirk. "She?"
He cleared his throat. "Umm, I just have this feeling that it's a girl. And you will be beautiful, swollen, stretch marks, sausage toes and all." He stuck out his tongue as she made her own icky face at him. But then he saw more emotion hit her from what he had said and she looked like she was going to cry.
Elena's smile grew as she felt tears prickle her lashes while she ran her hand over her belly. Her shirt had ridden up and Damon's hand had been there the whole time they had been talking and she tangled her fingers with his. She was scared to experience all that having a child could do to her body. She was barely 17 but the chance to have a baby with her love, a vampire who could not normally ever father children. It was a dream come true no matter how hard it might be. "Well we will just have to wait and see."
"I repeat, you guys are so totally adorable." A voice called from the doorway. They both turned toward it and saw Bonnie grinning back at them again. "What? The door was wide open. It was nearly impossible to not hear your little lovely dovey talk."
"Well Bon, I was just reassuring my girl here, since she was so overcome with thinking that I won't love her through this baby changing her body. She could not be more wrong and I hope she sees that now." He turned back to Elena and saw her eyes shining with love for him as she nodded slowly as a smile crept across her face.
Bonnie smiled at them. "Awe. It was so cute. I had no idea big, bad Damon Salvatore could be cute. Already saying you are having a girl, loving her when she gets stretch marks and swells everywhere. Just awwww." She gushed at him rolling her eyes.
"Oh and Elena don't worry about how you look really." Bonnie tried to reassure her too, " I mean my goodness, you are growing a new little person in you. My cousin had a baby awhile back and she said that you lose all sense of shame but that seeing that little face made everything worth it. She sounded like a crazy person explaining her delivery and I'd rather unhear most of it, but she said..."
"Bon really?! You think I want to hear delivery stories now?!" Elena snapped at her friend. "I feel weak enough from throwing up so much and losing so much blood yesterday. I think I just want to lie down." She scooted lower and leaned her head on Damon's chest and felt his hand over her head stroking her hair softly.
Bonnie's face fell and she tried to recover realizing how Elena did not need to think about any of that pain now already. "Well maybe this will be a shorter pregnancy. You never know. I mean it's not like you are an elephant, right?"
Damon threw Bonnie a cold glare. "She most definitely is not! You don't get to call my fiance... huge... animal…names. Absolutely not, ever! Even when she is almost due. No whale or hippo, cow nothing. Not even that she is as big as a house. Are we clear?"
"Whoa, fiance?" Bonnie exclaimed missing the rest of what Damon was saying and Elena nodded to her. "You guys really do move fast. Married with kids before most people... blink." She smiled at both of them. "I'm kidding. But wow that's a lot to absorb from me being out of it for hardly a day!"
She could not stop smiling at the adorable couple sitting on the floor. They looked so comfortable with each other, like they had been together for years already.
She shook her head and tried to focus on what Damon had asked her before they all raced off to the bathroom. "I'm far from the expert here too but if Klaus managed somehow to allow vampires to be able to be fertile like humans through the spell, then this baby would be part supernatural right?" Bonnie pointed out. They both nodded at her taking in all she was saying. "It makes sense since I could sense the baby."
"Well I mean then we have no idea how quickly this baby will grow, do we? I mean I saw Twilight. They had sex on their wedding night and before her honeymoon was over she had felt the baby move and looked like she was a few months pregnant already. So who knows, maybe this pregnancy is like that and it might only be a short time. Maybe hearing the heartbeat this soon is normal for a supernatural pregnancy."
Damon looked back at Elena. So there was hope. He had to hang onto that. But ick, he thought hearing the reference to that pasty vanilla vampire movie. He had never seen the movies, but the books were bad enough how fake and stupid they were. However Bonnie was right, they had shown a very rapid supernatural pregnancy. So who knew what could happen to his precious Elena.
Damon had almost forgotten what Bonnie had left to go do. "Bon, did you find him?" He had burst into the bathroom before slamming the door open without a thought that someone could be in there. All he had been thinking was that his love was seconds from vomiting and he needed to get her to the bathroom. But Jer had said he was in here and very obviously was not. So where the hell was he?
Bonnie nodded at him. "No, I looked everywhere. He is not here anywhere. I even asked Elijah and he said he had not heard or seen him in hours. Where is he Damon? He knows it is dangerous to go outside."
Elena remembered that Jer had wanted her to ask Damon something before. She lifted her hand and turned his head toward hers. "Honey, Jer had told me before that he had been having dreams of Katherine? Is that normal?"
Damon looked puzzled. Gilbert dreaming of the evil Kat? "Umm, no I don't think so. Why?"
Elena looked up in his eyes. "He just mentioned that she had been calling to him in his mind. He was sure he heard her calling him."
Damon froze. Oh shit. "He heard her? In his head?"
Elena nodded. Having no idea why it looked like Damon had just seen a ghost.
Damon got up fast and gently put Elena on her feet.
Shit, shit, shit! He prayed he was wrong. He knew what Kat had done. He had done the same thing to Caroline when Stefan had locked him up and planned to starve him of blood and desiccate him for decades.
He grabbed for his loves face. "Stay here. Do not go outside! Promise me Elena." She nodded slowly and he was glad she did not fight him on this. She was way too precious herself to risk getting in any danger and now even more so since he had another little person inside her to protect that he already loved.
"Damon, what's going on?" she yelled after him as he ran out the door.
"She is wants him to free her! I have to stop her!" he yelled as he ran.
Next chapter we find out what Caroline did about the blood she took. Jer is missing and Kat is up to no good as always. Damon is desperate to protect his little family. Elijah is seeing how well his brother has planned his attack. Everyone is about to see just how far Klaus will go get get to Elena!
