20th February 2021

Saturday 9.30pm

Philadelphia

"Excuse me Mrs Salvatore, what do you think you're doing?" I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist from behind as I finish serving a customer.

I turn around to find Damon looking at me with a raised eyebrow. "What does it look like?" I reply challengingly and Damon literally bites his tongue. "I'm serving our customers."

Damon shakes his head as his eyes glance down to my every growing stomach. "Elena…"

"Damon, I'm pregnant not disabled. I am more than capable to stand here and pour drinks." I roll my eyes at the look on his face. "Callie called in sick, you need my help."

"We can manage."

"Nope." I lean forward and press my lips against his in a soft kiss. "I love you, but you are being too protective right now." I pull out of his grasp and turn back towards the bar to serve another waiting customer. "I'm fine." I shout back at him over my shoulder.

I watch as he shakes his head before joining me at the bar. I am right. We are really busy tonight and one of our main bartenders is on his honeymoon while another has called in sick with the flu. We're two people down and there is no way I'm just going to sit around and watch when I am more than capable of helping.

This is my bar too.

I may be eight months pregnant but I am not an invalid and the sooner Damon remembers that the better.

I'm not going to lie and say the night was easy. My feet are killing me, but every time Damon looks over in my direction I plaster on a fake smile and pretend nothing is wrong. The last thing I need right now is an I told you so.

Finally it's closing time and I am exhausted. I don't even bother hiding it as I slump down on to one of the now empty booths. I watch as Damon locks up the doors, saying goodbye to our last busboy before pulling down the blinds. He turns around to face with and his lips twitch in to a soft smile as he approaches me.

"You're beautiful."

I scoff and shake my head. "Seriously? I'm eight months pregnant, I'm exhausted and my feet are covered in blistered. Honey, there is nothing about me that is beautiful right now."

"You're beautiful." Damon repeats with a firm voice as he slides into the booth beside me and pulls my feet onto his lap. I close my eyes as he starts to message them, instantly feeling better.

"If you're after sex, I'm sorry but my legs are closed for the evening." I smirk with my eyes closed. I hear Damon chuckle and he leans down to press a kiss against my ankle.

"Is there nothing I can do to persuade you?" He pulls on my leg before he leans down and starts to pepper slow soft kisses along the back of my calf before twisting into the inside of my thigh.

I sigh and lean back against the leather booth, a content sigh escaping my lips as he edges higher and higher and my sigh turns into a moan as I feel his hot breath come closer and closer to where it needs to be.

Damon slides my skirt up to my waist and I gasp as his lips press against my wet centre, over my panties.

"Oh god." My eyes are clasped shut. "Damon…we can't…"

"I sent everyone home. We're the only ones here." Damon murmurs against me and the vibrations from his voice do something to me. I grab on to his tightly and shudder when he pulls down my panties. "Let me have a taste."

I can't help myself. A loud moan escapes my lips as Damon goes down on me. Oh God. This is bliss.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

The words are stuck in my throat as Damon continues to pleasure me. Maybe I should disobey his orders more often is this what I get for it.

After a few more minutes of this agonising pleasure, I finally reach my climax and I sink back into the leather seats, my eyes fluttering open as Damon lifts himself up with a naughty smile.

"You're bad." I whisper tiredly, reaching out to bring him closer so I can press my mouth against his in a slow sensual kiss.

"You're badder." Damon murmurs against my lips. "Mmm I love you."

"I love you too." I run my fingers through his soft hair and pull back with a smile. Damon winks at me before his hands land on my large stomach.

"How is my little one?" He bends down and I can't help but beam as he talks to our baby. "I can't wait to meet you, there's not long left now."

"No there isn't." I agree, a wave of nerves hitting me. I am so damn excited to get this baby out of me, seriously this pregnancy thing is hard work, plus I absolutely can't wait to have our little one in my arms. The thought that Damon and I created another little human together is enough to make my heart want to melt. However the idea of labour terrifies me. I've watched videos and trust me they are enough to put people off for life.

"Daddy loves you, and Mommy loves you. You'll be here real soon." Damon presses a kiss to my stomach through my shirt before sitting up. "Come on." He slides out of the booth and holds out his hand. "Lets get you upstairs to bed before you pass out from exhaustion."

I nod in agreement, looking at the clock across the wall to see that it is almost 3am. The bar shuts at 2am but with it being so packed full tonight the clean up took even longer than usual.

Damon sends me upstairs while he double checks everything is locked and safe and turns off the lights.

I walk through our apartment, proud of the turnaround and improvements we have made since we moved in three years ago. It really does feel like home.

I head in to the bathroom to wash my make-up from my face before brushing my teeth and sliding into my comfortable PJs. There is no time to try and be sexy when you are eight months pregnant and the size of a whale, trust me.

When I walk out of the bathroom Damon is already sprawled on the bed completely naked and I roll my eyes with an amused smile.

"I told you, I'm too tired and fat for sex tonight."

Damon groans loudly. "You are not fat."

I motion to my oversized shirt which wraps around my body like a tent. "Look at me."

"I am looking at you." Damon tugs on my arm and pulls me on top of him, my thighs on either side of his chest as I straddle his stomach. "Beautiful." He states simply and even now, over three years into marriage, I still can't help but blush.

"God loves a trier." I smirk, leaning down to kiss him quickly before rolling off him and snuggling into his side. "I'm still not having sex with you tonight."

Damon groans again and I feel his hand slide underneath my large shirt. "But I treated you earlier, don't I get something in return?"

"I'm not giving you a blowjob either." I smirk.

Damon huffs and removes his hand from my shirt. "You are killing me, you know that?"

"What part of sex ban don't you understand?" I raise my eyebrow at him stubbornly and he pouts, he actually pouts.

"I swear I didn't call you fat." He defends himself for what feels like the millionth time. "You misheard the conversation."

"No, I walked in the room just in time to hear you on the phone to your brother telling him how enormous I was." I glare at him, honestly, the look on his face when he saw me in the room was enough to snap me out of my initial anger but I won't ever tell Damon that.

This is too much fun.

"I was saying the baby was getting big, not you! You are perfect. You are a healthy size. Feel this," He grabs my hand and brings it down to his member. "Look how hard I am for you, and you aren't even giving me anything. This is just the affect you have on me."

"No that is probably from all of the young pretty skinny girls trying to flirt with you all night."

Damon groans loudly and rolls on to his front, his face buried into the pillow as he lets out a frustrated wail.

I try desperately to hold back my laugh and keep a straight face.

"Elena, damn it, you are killing me here!" His voice rises in frustration. "I just want to have some fun with my beautiful and sexy wife while we can, because before we know it the baby will be here and we will both be sleep deprived. I want hot baby free sex, with you. Right now. Please."

I can't hold it in any longer, I erupt in to giggles which turn even louder when Damon sits up and looks at me in disbelief.

"Seriously?!"

I cover my mouth, willing myself to calm down but I can't stop laughing. Oh God, he is so easy!

"Really Elena? I believed you!" Damon looks at me in disbelief and I take deep loud breaths to try and calm myself down.

"Baby, you have known me for eight years, when have I ever been able to turn you down?" I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down on top of me with a naughty smile.

"You're so bad." Damon whispers into my ear and I feel his hard member slide along my thigh.

"I know." I press a hot open mouthed kiss against his neck before biting on the edge of his ear. "Now take me. I'm all yours."

I smile as I silently stand in the doorway of our nursery. Elena is sitting in our rocking chair as she swings softly back and forth, our baby boy resting soundly in her arms.

My heart swells tightly as she sings a nursery rhyme soothingly. His breathing evens out as he snoozes in her arms, perfectly content.

Elena is the best Mom. I never doubted that she wouldn't be anything other than the best, but from the moment she first held our little boy in her arms it was like a switch as he flicked and suddenly it was like she was finally who she needed to be.

My wife, the mother of my son.

Standing here right now, feeling the happiest I have ever felt in my life is all down to the two people in this room. This is meant to be.

This was always going to be our destiny.

"Hey," Elena looks up at me with a smile as she finally notices my presence. "Come here." I follow her instructions and crouch down next to her, I stroke our baby's face gently, my heart swelling with nothing but love and pride.

He's ours.

"He's so perfect." I whisper quietly, my eyes glued to his beautiful face.

"Of course he is. He's your son, he was only ever going to be the best. Caleb Nicklaus Salvatore," she bends her neck down to press her lips against his forehead. "You are perfect."

I smile. We argued so much on the name, nothing seemed just right. We agreed pretty early on that we wanted to name him after Klaus in some way, he was the only one who has supported us from the very start. He helped me so much growing up and I owe him a lot for all of his help I received from him when I first came out of prison.

I owe him so much and I don't think he even knows it. You should have seen the shocked look on his face when we first told him the name.

Eventually we found the right one. Caleb. The second it came out of Elena's mouth I knew that was his name. We both did.

"I want another one." I look up at Elena to see her smile widen. "I want a little girl who is going to look just like her beautiful mother. I want the whole shebang, a house, three kids. You. I want all of it."

Elena's eyes glisten, a single tear managing to escape. Her hormones are still all over the place and I let out a soft chuckle as she sniffles.

"I love you, Elena Salvatore."

"I love you too." I lean forward and place my lips against hers in a gentle kiss.

"I want more too." Elena pulls back with a smile. "I want it all. I want it all with you, Damon Salvatore."

I smile and kiss her again and I know it's going to happen.

This is my life now. This is my future.

I've got everything I have ever wanted. All of the pain in the past, the heartache, the mistakes that we both made, it all needed to happen, every single second, every single choice led us to this moment and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Elena, my son, my future children who we haven't met yet. They are my life.

This is my life.

I am the luckiest man in the world.

There we go! It's finally over! I wanted to keep this short and sweet, I hope you all enjoyed it.
