Elena didn't get much sleep after she woke up earlier that morning. She could feel the life inside her move and kick. She laid there thinking about all the things she still had to do before the baby was due.
And that list was pretty long.
Elena rolled over to look at Damon. She loved watching him sleep. He was so relaxed, no worry on his face. Just peace. She got lost in his beauty. After what seemed like forever, a hand was reached out to hold hers.
" Good morning sunshine." Damon said with a smile, eyes still closed.
" good morning to you too."
Damon opened his eyes to see hers. He felt lucky. Getting the girl, her above all.
" So… we still have somethings to get for the nursery, is their anyway you can call somebody in for your shift?" Elena asked shyly. Just like Elena wanted,Damon owned a bar and grill.
After a pause and an anxious Elena, Damon smiled and shook his head yes. She practically squealed in excitement.
" Wait, we can't." He remembered, " you are supposed to rest."
" Damon really i'm fine, I feel..fine." Elena gave him a reassuring smile and with that they were dressed and in the car.
" So what's on the list." He asked hoping it wasn't huge. He hated shopping.
"Oh, you know just a crib, clothes, diapers, everything…" she smiled up at him. He groaned in despair but ended with a smile. He would go anywhere and for any amount of time as long as Elena was there with him.
When they arrived in the parking lot of a nursery store, Damon had just got done telling the cheesiest joke about babies Elena had ever heard. Of course she still laughed hysterically but hey, it's Damon how could you not.
The cribs were all so pretty and Elena had a hard time choosing the perfect one, but in the end she chose a dark stained wood crib with cooper screws and hinges. Damon loved it, he practically begged her to choose that one. She liked it too, but just to give a hard time she kept walking back to a really ugly white painted simple crib. Damon lifted up the box and put it in the cart.
" I love you Elena." Damon said, he couldn't imagine starting a family with anyone else, or even being this soft. Him in a Baby store, he couldn't believe it. He always thought he was going to be evil and hated forever, but someone saw the light in him, the light only she could see. Since he met her Damon had changed, and he liked it.
" I love you too Damon." Elena smiled at him, and that's where that sweet moment ended.
" D-Damon..something's wrong" Elena said in pain, holding her stomach and bending over.
Hey guys! I hope you liked the next chapter, I'm really nervous to hear what you all have to say so please review and tell me what you think. Oh, and just to clear up, I love Damon.
