THREE MONTHS LATER
Elena rolled over in bed and pressed herself tight into Stefan's arms. He sighed and blinks the sleep out of his eyes, kissing and stroking her hair.
"What's the matter?" He asked gently.
She grumbles a reply but for once he can't understand her, her voice is too muffled in the skin of his chest to make her voice as clear as she intended it to be.
"I don't follow baby?" He whispered.
She sighs and sit up, leaning against his bent legs for support. He stroked her stomach as she rubbed her eyes in an effort to wake up as well.
"I said I'll be glad when the babies born so I might have some chance at sleep." She complained. He sighed and moved his hand to cup her cheek. She leant into his palm and her eyes closed in content.
"Maybe we should wait to get married, just until the babies born, you've only got three weeks left till your due date..." He started but she cut him off.
"Are you saying this now because we're supposed to be getting married tomorrow and you think it's a good idea, or are you saying it because you don't want to marry me?" She whispered, tears in her eyes.
Stefan sighed and pulled her to lie in his arms.
"You know I want to marry you, I just don't want and of this stress to have bad effect on you and our little one." He whispered.
She smiled despite herself, "You're excited about being a daddy?"
He laughed, "Added with the excitement of marrying you, it threatens to make me self combust just thinking about it."
She giggled and a knock came at the door, the both looked to see Bonnie stick her head around.
"Okay Stefan you need to leave, its her bachelorette party and your no allowed to be here." She stated.
Stefan groaned and Elena covered them both with the duvet. Bonnie sighed and Damon appeared behind her, frowning when he saw them still in bed.
He smiled and pulled a lighter out of his pocket, moving to the hall and flicking it on under the fire alarm. The shrill sound echoed through the house and Bonnie covered her ears against it. Stefan and Elena doing the same where they were now sat bolt upright in bed.
Eventually the noise stopped and Elena held her hand over her heart, gasping for breath.
"Well if curry won't send you into early labour that sure will." She muttered.
"You okay?" Stefan asked her quietly, she nodded and his attention turned back to Damon when he whistled in an annoying way.
Stefan growled at his brother.
"Run." He hissed and Damon kissed bonnie hard, before legging it out of the house, Stefan half a pace behind him.
Bonnie rubbed her hands together and Elena sighed.
"Is this absolutely necessary?" She asked.
Bonnie's dark eyes sparkled, "oh yes."
