No I haven't forgotten about this story. I was on vacation for the last month and couldn't quite finish up this chapter, but now here we go. The answer to who is pregnant and also sadly this is the second last chapter in this story. There is only one chapter left as they characters leave their teenage years behind them and become young adults. Hope you enjoy!

Dear Diary,

I am not sure where to begin really, I have been feeling so strange lately but couldn't figure out why. For some reason I had just felt different and while I just tried to ignore it at first the feeling never went away.

When I finally got the courage to think about the possibility that I could be pregnant we were already making our way up to the cottage. When the idea first popped into my head I thought I was being crazy, because I couldn't be pregnant. Maybe it was fear at thinking about how much my life was going to change, how plans I had would be changed and if I could really do this. Having a baby isn't something you just decide to do and then you are automatically ready for it. Yet it got to the point that the feelings I was having couldn't be put off anymore and I need to know once and for all.

Sure enough when I took the test in the bathroom at the cottage my heart was pounding because after this it wouldn't just be hypothetical. I would either be pregnant or not. Sure enough my instincts were right and I am pregnant. We hadn't planned for this and yet now ready or not we are having a baby.

After taking the test I thought I would have a panic attack and lock myself away trying to figure out what to do but I didn't. As soon as I looked at the stick and read that I was pregnant it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Sure I had no idea how we were going to manage or how I would tell him but I just knew that in the end we were going to be okay.

In nine months everything was going to change and as scary as it was, I have this huge smile on my face. We're having a baby!

After putting Claire down for her nap, Damon was sitting at the end of the bed in his and Elena's room. He hadn't blinked since he found the pregnancy test and as he held the box in his hands he continued to look at it just incase the result would change. His mind was racing a mile a minute as he found himself having to think about his and Elena's whole future.

With another baby on the way that would mean one of them wouldn't be able to go to college. One of them would have to work to support two kids and not just one as they had previously planned for. Over the summer the two had been discussing what they would be able to afford for an apartment while both were in school with part-time jobs and having to pay for Claire in daycare. Adding in another baby would mean they would have to give up something and with Elena just starting college it was probably his turn to take a break from school and get a full time job. It would only be for a year or two but while he thought about it he remembered teachers telling them a few times in school that those who put off an education to work for a couple years rarely got back to school when they first planned on it.

Letting out a frustrated sigh Damon looked back down at the pregnancy box in his hand still in shock that they had come to this situation. They had been so careful but here they were, Elena had been sick for a couple days and now it was starting to look like it was actually morning sickness and not the flu. Flipping the box back over in his hands he checked once again to see the result and again reminding himself that it was positive.

He had been so lost in his thoughts that he almost didn't hear the knock on the bedroom door as Jenna was calling out his name. Jumping to his feet when he heard her opening the door he quickly threw the pregnancy test under the bed so that she wouldn't see it. The last this he needed was Jenna finding out Elena was pregnant again before he and Elena had chance to talk. Doing his best to act as normal as possible so that Jenna wouldn't expect anything was going on he stood up and looked towards the door.

"Damon" Jenna called out just as she opened up the door and found Damon standing in the middle on the bedroom.

"Uh hey" he said trying to act as normal as possible but his mind was yelling at him that she suspected he was up to something.

"Just wanted to let you know Sage and Rose just got here," Jenna informed him

"Oh great" Damon said with a smile. He hadn't seen Sage and Rose since they finished their first year of college. He had grown very close to the two as they studied and worked together at the bar on campus and had manage to keep in touch since leaving the school for summer break He was happy when the two said they would be able to come up to the cottage for the weekend.

Biting his bottom lip Damon quickly walked past Jenna as she still stood in the doorway watching him as if she suspected that something was up. Luckily for Damon she never voiced her feelings as she just watched him head out of the room and out the side door.

Stepping outside the bright sun caused Damon to squint his eyes as he scratched his head and walked over to where Elena was sitting at the picnic table talking to Rose and Sage. Both girls waved to their friend and smiled happily as he was coming over to meet them. Elena turned her head to see her boyfriend walking towards them and as she gave him a smile Damon felt his heart start pounding knowing that Elena was pregnant and she didn't know that he knew.

"I hear congratulations is in order," Sage said excitedly as Damon made it over to the picnic table.

Damon wasn't quite sure what Sage was talking about as he came to stand behind Elena and rested his hands on her shoulders. He felt his heart pounding faster and fast as he tried to figure out what exactly Sage knew. Had Elena told them she was pregnant and they were now congratulating him on the news thinking Elena had told him?

"What…what do you mean?" he asked as he looked down at Elena who was smiling up at him.

"Well with Elena accepted to VSU that means that the two of you will finally be moving in together," Sage answered like it was a no brainer.

"Oh my god you should rent in the same apartment building as us and we could be neighbours!" Rose said excitedly as she clapped her hands as she sat on the picnic bench sideway next to Elena. "The apartment across from us that you guys looked at is still up for sale!"

"Oh yeah" Damon said with a nervous chuckle and nodded his head.

"You okay?" Elena asked him as she noticed that her boyfriend seemed a bit distracted about something.

Looking down at Elena, Damon gave her a smile and then leaned down to kiss the top of her head. "Yeah I'm fine, I um just need to talk to Ric" Damon told her as he saw Ric walking by with a beer in hand and seemed to be getting ready to relax and sit by the water. "I'll catch up what you guys later" Damon told them before waving as he left to follow Ric.

He knew that Elena suspected something was up but knew that she would wait until later to ask him about it. As he left Elena, Rose and Sage behind, he quickened his pace to catch up to Ric. "Hey I need to talk to you" Damon yelled out to him and then he pulled him back towards to the cottage by the arm.

"What's going on?" Ric asked a little disappointed that he wasn't getting to enjoy his beer as soon as he would like.

Damon didn't answer he just continued to pull Ric along past Stefan and Tyler who turned to look at Damon wondering what was going on. As Damon pulled him inside he dragged him all the way to the bedroom without as much as another word to Ric.

"Damon what the hell?" he asked now a little freak out as to what was going on as Damon moved to close the bedroom door so that no one else could see or hear what was going on. "Damon" he repeated as Damon finally turned back to look at Ric.

"We have a situation," Damon told him.

"What are you talking about?" Ric asked.

Without answering him Damon knelt down on the floor to reach under the bed and pull out the pregnancy test and then tossed it as Ric. Still not sure what was going on Ric was able to catch the box with his hand that wasn't holding the beer and looked down at the box Damon had just given him and read the word pregnancy test. His eyes went wide and he looked at Damon for more information.

"It's positive" Damon informed him.

Without a word Ric stared at Damon in disbelief and the beer in his hand dropped to the floor and splashed all over the carpet and Ric's shoes. "Holy Crap!" Ric said in shock as he looked down at the pregnancy box in his hand again.

Damon gave a nod as h bit his bottom lip and started to run his fingers through his hair. "Elena has been sick for a couple days now and now it's looking as if she could be having morning sickness" Damon told him.

"Has Elena said anything?" Ric asked as he tossed the pregnancy test on the bed.

"No, but she would of just found out" Damon told him as he started to pace the floor. "This is insane" Damon said as he turned back to look at Ric.

"Look just calm down" Ric told Damon as he saw him starting to freak out. "Look you don't know anything for sure, lets just talk to Elena and find out, and I can ask Jenna if she knows any-"

Before Ric could finish his sentence Damon cut him off, "NO! You can not tell Jenna because the last thing I need his her on my back" Damon told him.

"I thought things with you and Jenna were great?"

"Yeah, but she is still Elena's guardian and will go all protective mama bear on me when she finds out that Elena is pregnant again" Damon replied.

"Elena's pregnant?" came a voice from the other side of the door.

Damon's eyes widen in fear and as he turned around he saw Stefan and Tyler opening up the bedroom door looking shocked and surprised at the new development.

"SHHHH!" Damon snapped at them as he grabbed his brother and Tyler by the collars of their shirts and pulled them further into the room before shutting the door again.

"Elena is pregnant?" Stefan repeated staring at his brother.

Quickly Damon ran over to cover Stefan's mouth so to muffle his voice in case anyone else could be listening in on this conversation. "A little louder so everyone can hear" Damon said with sarcasm as he glared at his brother.

When Stefan gave a nod, Damon removed his hand from his brother's mouth. Without taking his eyes off Stefan, Damon moved over to turn on the radio so that it would drain out their voices. "There was a pregnancy test in the trash can in the bathroom," Damon told them as he picked up the pregnancy test box that was lying on the bed and showed it to Stefan and Tyler. "It's positive," he added.

"Holy Crap" Tyler said in shock as he stared at the test. "So is that why Elena has been sick?"

"Probably" Damon replied.

"What do you mean probably," Stefan asked wanting some clarification.

"Well he hasn't exactly heard it from Elena that she is pregnant" Alaric answered.

"So it may not be Elena" Stefan said as he thought about the possibility of Rebekah being pregnant. "Oh god it could be Rebekah" he added as he backed himself up against the wall to stop himself from fainting. "She's been hungry a lot lately," Stefan said as he looked over at Damon knowing that hunger could be a pregnancy sign.

"What about Caroline? She has been complaining about her weight since graduation, what if she is pregnant and that is why she is gaining weight" Tyler said as he too started to freak out.

"But is Caroline really gaining weight or does she think she is?" Damon asked.

"I don't know but she is over emotional about it so maybe she is and is freaking out about gaining the weight" he said knowing that Caroline being pregnant would change all of their plans. "Oh god I can't be a dad" he said and started to pace the room.

"Look if could be Jenna, I mean she has been exhausted and emotional for a while and I could of missed it because of the wedding coming up" Alaric said knowing that Jenna could very well be pregnant just like Elena, Caroline and Rebekah.

"I gotta talk to Jenna" Alaric said and then started to head out of the room.

"NO, NO, NO!" Damon called out and then jumped in front so that Alaric couldn't leave the room. "You go asking Jenna and then if she isn't the one pregnant she is going to drown me in that lake if Elena is pregnant again. Sure Jenna and I get along, but when ever the subject comes up about the Thing that happened to Elena in our town; I'm the Thing that happen to Elena, so until I know for sure can we please keep this quiet" Damon asked him.

"Well someone here is pregnant and it will come out eventually," Stefan said as he stepped in to put some distance between Damon and Alaric. All the men in the room shared looks of worry and full of questions because it could be any of their girlfriends.

As the guys headed back out of the cottage they found the girls all tanning on the dock and while they had hoped one would just look pregnant they knew it wasn't going to be that easy. Damon bit his lip as he tried to think of an excuse to get Elena alone as she was laying on a beach towel next to Rose and Bonnie talking about something.

As he stared at her from across the property he noticed Jeremy walking up to him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Jeremy it made him think back to the lip lock he had found Bonnie and him in earlier that day and while Bonnie wasn't one of the original suspects of taking the pregnancy test he knew there was a small chance if baby Gilbert and the Bennett girl were doing a little more than making out in secret. Turning to face Jeremy, Damon grabbing him by the arm and started to pull him back toward the cottage. "Please tell me you and the Bennett girl are being smart" Damon asked him in an angry tone.

"What?" Jeremy asked as he was really caught off guard as to what this was all about.

"You and Bonnie have you slept together?" he asked directly this time and watched as Jeremy's eyes widen, as he couldn't believe that Damon was having this conversation with him.

"What the hell man, that is none of your business" Jeremy snapped at him.

"Are you or are you not?" Damon repeated as he had Jeremy backed up against the wall and wasn't going let him go until he got an answer.

"Get off me!" Jeremy yelled as he struggled to push Damon off him. It seemed useless though as Damon hardly budged.

"I want an answer!" Damon snapped at him.

"NO!" he yelled as he watched Damon slowly loosen his grip on him and allowed Jeremy some room to breath.

"Damon what's going on?" came Elena's voice and as Damon turned around he was looking straight at Elena who was eyeing him and her brother and wondering what they were talking about.

"Your boyfriend is a psycho," Jeremy answered as he stepped away from Damon and started to head down to the beach.

Damon just stood there for a second trying to think of what to say. On one hand he was glad to learn that is couldn't possibly be Bonnie who was pregnant but that also meant that there was an even bigger chance that it could be Elena.

"Damon I think we need to talk" Elena told him as she could tell that something was definitely up with him and she had a pretty good idea what if could be.

Stefan was shaking as he walked down towards the dock and over to where Rebekah was applying some more sunscreen to her legs. He found himself thinking about how every time him and Rebekah had sex they were sure to use protection. They both knew that they had other dreams they wanted to live out before they considered having children like backpacking in Europe over the summer.

Unlike most teens that may not of seen the impact of having a baby before you were ready Stefan had watched the struggles that both Elena and Damon had gone through since having Claire. Sure she was the light of their lives but that didn't mean that the timing wasn't the best. They had to give up on many regular high school experiences to ensure Claire was taken care of. He witnessed first hand the stress and struggle Damon went through for the last two years with school, a part-time job and making sure both Claire and Elena were taken care of. He had a lot on his plate and as Stefan thought about he didn't think he would be as strong as Damon was without breaking down. Becoming a father was a terrifying feeling and one that was especially terrifying when your own life wasn't figured out yet and now you would have a little baby to care for.

Yet at the same time he thought about the joy that a little baby could bring into their lives. This little baby would be a part of him and someone he loved unconditionally. Seeing the smile that Claire would always put on Damon's face was an emotion he wanted to experience and if Rebekah was pregnant he was going to be the best dad he could for that little baby.

As he got closer to Rebekah he gave her a smiled while he knelt down and leaned in to give her a sweet tender kiss. She immediately responded to the kiss and brought up one hand to caresses his jaw line. Stefan found himself letting out a moan of pleasure while her was knelt down in front of her and his hands bracing his hands in front of himself to keep his balance during the kiss.

"Wow that's quite the hello," Rebekah said with a giggle once they broke from the kiss and she ran her fingers through his sandy blond hair.

"It's because I love you" Stefan told her with a smile and then leaned in for one last tender peck. "How are you feeling?" he asked her trying to see if you would tell him that she was pregnant.

Tyler found Caroline at the end of the dock dangling her feet in the water and looking out at the water. Watching a few feet away Tyler wondered if she was maybe thinking about the pregnancy test. This was the possibility as to why she seemed to be worried about gaining weight. Maybe she was worried that if she started gaining weight he wouldn't love her anymore; which was insane because he was crazy about Caroline and nothing could ever change that.

If Caroline turned out to be the one who was pregnant he would probably fall in love with her all over again. Sure the timing wasn't the greatest but they would figure it out together. Life was full of unexpected events and even though you try to plan out your life things can happen when you least expect it.

Biting his bottom lip, Tyler moved to take a seat beside her. Kicking off his sandals and leaving them on the dock next to Caroline's shoes, he didn't say anything at first as he took his seat but when Caroline turned to look at him with a smile he knew that she was at least in a good mood.

"Hey" he finally heard himself say. He gave her a smile as he brought his hand up to brush her hair back and then caressed the side of her face. He loved her so much and knew that whatever happened the two of them would figure things out together. "Listen I know things have been kind of tense between us" Tyler started to say and then found himself dropping the eye contact and looking down at their feet in the water.

"Yeah, listen I know I have been a pain lately and I'm sorry about that" Caroline told him as she shook her head.

"No, I should have been a little more supportive and really listened to what you wanted. I love you and if something is bothering you I am here for you and will do what I can" he told her.

"I shouldn't snap at you when you really don't know what's going on" Caroline told him and then bit her lip.

Seeing the look in her eye it almost seemed like it clarified to him that Caroline was in deed pregnant. Giving her a smile Tyler reached down and intertwined his fingers with hers and hen brought them slowly up to his lips to give her hand a tender kiss. As he lowered her hand away from his face but keeping their hands together he gave her a smile. "Caroline I know" he said and watched as Caroline stopped smiling and was just staring at him.

"Everything is fine" Rebekah said with a smile to her boyfriend.

"Your sure?" Stefan said as he tried to press the issue a little more.

Rebekah looked up at Stefan and could tell that he was obviously referring to something. He seemed to be waiting for her to say something but she couldn't think of what that was. "Yeah, everything is fine, why what's wrong?"

"Everything is fine?" he asked again and now Rebekah was really starting to wonder what he as talking about.

"Okay what is going on?" Rebekah asked as she sat up and looked at her boyfriend and waiting for him to fill her in on what had him all worked up.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay and if there was anything you wanted to tell me" he replied.

"I think you want to tell me something," Rebekah answered.

Stefan stared at Rebekah for a split second as he thought about they way she was acting and it seemed that she really wasn't hiding anything from him. She didn't look nervous and she looked like this whole conversation was actually a bit strange to her. "You know what, never mind."

"No come on, something is definitely bothering you and this trust and communication thing goes both ways" she told him and then leaned forward to capture his lips in a quick kiss. "Now out with it Salvatore" Rebekah said with a grin.

Looking away from her at first Stefan wondered if he should say anything because he knew Damon, Tyler and Ric were still talking to their girlfriends about the pregnancy test. Looking back at Rebekah he knew he would have to tell her and hoped things wouldn't get a little carried away. "Someone here took a pregnancy test," he told her. "And it was positive" he added quietly so no one else could hear.

Rebekah's eyes widened in shock at this new information and looked around at the cottage ground and wondered whom it could be. "Oh my god who is pregnant? Is it Caroline? Jenna? Oh is Elena pregnant again?"

Stefan tried to get her to calm down as he shook his head and keep their conversation from being heard by everyone. "We don't know" Stefan replied.

Rebekah couldn't believe this was happening, they had all come up here to enjoy a relaxing weekend and it turned out one of the couples would be expecting a baby. "Wow I can't believe that… wait" Rebekah said as she stopped mid sentence and looked at Stefan. "You thought I was pregnant?"

"Well I wasn't sure" Stefan told her now a little nervous, "And I just wanted to make sure you knew that I would be here no matter what for you."

With a smile Rebekah leaned forward to capture her boyfriend's lips in a tender kiss. She loved him so much and although she herself was not ready to take such a serious step in their relationship as a having a baby she was glad that he was someone who would stand by her.

When she pulled away she and Stefan had identical smiles on their faces that showed just how much they loved each other. They were both looking forward to a long summer together since they had decided to backpack in Europe together before they would have to separate once again for school.

"I love you" Rebekah told him as she brought her arms up to wrap around his neck and gave him another kiss.

"I love you too" Stefan replied as their foreheads were pressed together.

When Rebekah pulled away she looked around the property of the cottage and saw Caroline and Tyler down at the end of the dock, Damon and Elena heading inside and Jenna and Ric sitting at the picnic table not too far away. "So who is pregnant?" she asked.

Shaking his head Stefan shrugged his shoulders and he too looked at the other couples who had come on this trip knowing one of them was about to share news that would change their lives.

"Know what?" Caroline asked him as she nervously watched Tyler, as he too seemed nervous about what he was about to tell her. "What do you know?" she asked again when Tyler hadn't been able to get the words out of his mouth.

"I know about the baby," he told her as he found himself blurting it right out into the open.

"The baby" Caroline started to say but Tyler cut her off before she could say anything else.

"That is why you are so worried about gaining weight. Things are going to change and your body will be one of the first changes and I want you to know none of that matters to me. I love you and I will love this baby," he told her.

"Pregnant? How do you?" Caroline started to say again but this time instead of Tyler interrupting her it as Rebekah who came over.

"Oh my god you're pregnant?" Rebekah said loudly and gave her friend a hug. "Congratulations!"

As Rebekah was wrapping her arms around Caroline, Tyler and Stefan started talking about how Caroline being the one who was pregnant. Their voices weren't very quiet and it wasn't long before Jenna and Alaric were coming over to find out what all the fuss was about.

"What's going on here?" Jenna asked.

"Caroline is pregnant" Tyler said as he put his arm around his girl.

"Oh wow" Jenna and Alaric said as they both turned to look at Caroline.

"Wait, wait!" Caroline yelled as she pulled herself from of Rebekah and Tyler and put some space between them. "I'm not pregnant," she said quickly wanting to set the record straight before things got to carry away and they were offering baby names.

"You're not?" Tyler asked now really confused.

"NO!" She snapped back. "What makes you thing that I am?" she asked him as she looked down at her body wondering if she looked pregnant or something. "MY god do I look pregnant?" she asked looking at Tyler for a response.

"NO!" he shouted quickly knowing that was the correct answer after suggesting a woman was pregnant. "I just thought because you were worried about your weight that maybe…"

"I'm worried about my dress fitting" Caroline snapped at him. I ended up missing my last fitting and the next time I get to try on my dress on is the night before the wedding" Caroline explained.

"How did you come to the conclusion I was pregnant?" Caroline asked, as everyone seemed to relax a bit at the new development. It was obvious to her that everyone else seemed to think she was pregnant so something must be up that made they all think she was other then her worried about her weight.

"There was pregnancy test found in the cottage… if it's not Rebekah or you that means…" Stefan started to say and he watched as Caroline's eyes went wide.

"Oh my god! Elena!" she squealed.

As Damon entered the cottage he was scratching the top of his head while he started to pace the floor. Elena had followed in behind him quietly with her head down knowing the conversation was not going to be a fun one as all. Damon looked really stressed out as if his mind was going a mile a minute.

"Damon listen" Elena started to say but unfortunately she was interrupted the sounds of Claire's cries in the bedroom. Both parents looked towards the bedroom door thinking how Claire's lack of a nap was coming at a time that they really needed her to nap.

With a sigh Elena looked over at Damon for a second before turning back to him so that she could go check on their two-year-old daughter. Yet before Elena could go anywhere fast Rose and Sage entered the cottage to lend a hand as they could see the important discussion the two were having.

"Hey let us check on her," Sage told them with a smile.

"We have been dying to spend some time with her" Rose added as her and Sage headed off to check on the little girl who didn't seemed to want to have a long nap today.

Damon and Elena gave them both looks of appreciation as the girls headed down the hall and leaving them to have a very important conversation. Biting her bottom lip Elena scratched her head as she turned to face Damon, as he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Listen Damon if this is going to be too much we can slow down" Elena told him.

"I think it is a bit late to start taking things slow" he replied as he moved across the room to look out the window.

"Nothing has to change Damon" Elena told him as she moved over to him and touched his arm. "Look Damon I can take cared of it and everything can stay as it is," she told him.

Damon's eyes wen wide as he turned and looked at her and couldn't believe what he was hearing from her. She was going to take care of it? What did she mean by that and he didn't realize that Elena had considered that an option.

"This is a big commitment but we don't have to do anything until you are ready, we can put it on hold" she told him.

Damon was now really confused, what the hell was she talking about. Take care of it, put it on hold? How exactly do you put a baby on hold? "Elena we can't put it off, nine months from now our lives will change whether we are ready or not.

"Nine months…"

"OH MY GOD ELENA!" came Caroline's squealing voice as she came storming into the cottage and wrapped her arms around her friend. Stefan and the others soon followed in after her.

"Caroline this is not that best time" Damon snapped at her. Him and Elena still had a lot to talk about and didn't need Caroline or the others to interrupt them.

"I knew something had to be up with you!" Caroline squealed as she still had Elena in a tight hug.

"What is going on?" Elena asked her.

"Nothing Caroline is leaving" Damon snapped and then turned to look at Tyler. "Can you please take your girlfriend?"

"Caroline I don't know what has gotten into you but Damon and I need to talk" Elena told her.

"Oh come on you guys have nine months to talk before for the baby gets here, we should celebrate!" Caroline told her.

"Baby!" came Jeremy's voice as he entered the cottage along with Bonnie just in time as the others were talking about Elena being pregnant. "Wait a minute so you were yelling at me about being careless with Bonnie and you knocked up my sister again?"

Hearing Jeremy pretty much announce their relationship really had Bonnie's heart going but at the same time she was shocked by the conversation that the others seemed to be having too.

Soon everyone in the room started talking and yelling about something to the point nothing was making sense. "Just a second" Elena said as everyone in the room started talking.

"You're pregnant?" came Sage's voice as she reentered the room with Rose holding a bubbly Claire sucking on her soother. "Congratulations!"

"This is between Elena and I" Damon yelled at them all. He hated how quickly information spread in their circle of friends. Nothing stayed between two people for long before almost the whole town knew about it. Privacy was not a concept Mystic Falls residence knew much about considering they made everyone's business their business.

"I'm NOT PREGNANT!" Elena yelled and this got everyone to shut up. Turning to Damon she could see the shock in his eyes as he obviously thought she was too. "Is that why you are acting so strange? You thought I was pregnant?"

"I thought that was what we were talking about" Damon responded now really confused.

"No, I thought you were having second guesses about living together" Elena replied as she took a step closer to Damon.

"What no" he answered her as she reached out to touch her cheek. It hadn't even occurred to Damon that she could be thinking that he was having second guessed out living together. At this point Damon thought living together was a next step in their relationship that he knew they were ready for.

"So your not pregnant?" Damon asked her again just to be sure.

"No I'm not," She told her without hesitation. "Why did you think I was?"

Damon gave a sigh as one of his hand moved up to run through her hair. "There was a pregnancy test in the trash can in the bathroom. You have been sick for the past few days so I thought maybe that was why."

"Look one of you is pregnant" Stefan said as he looked at the girls.

"Well it's not me," Elena repeated.

"Look this is crazy, we are not leaving this room until we figure this out" Alaric said as he looked around the room.

"It's me!" a voice shouted and as it rang in the air everyone was looking around and wondering for a second who it was. When everyone was able to process who had spoke they all turned their heads in the direction of the voice and there standing nervously and with a shaky breath was Jenna.

"Jenna…" Alaric said as he turned to face his fiancé in total shock as he took in what she had just admitted to.

"It's my test, I'm the one that is pregnant," she repeated just in case anyone was still not sure. She turned to look at Alaric as he was slowly walking towards her while everyone else in the room still was too shocked to say anything.

"Oh my god" Elena said softly with a smile as her hands came up to cover her mouth.

"Honey I wanted to tell you, I was just hoping I would of gotten the chance to do it when we were alone" she told him as Alaric got closer and was wrapping his arms around her tightly.

"You're pregnant" Alaric said, as he couldn't stop the smile from growing across his face. As Jenna gave him a nod they closed the gap between them and both had tears of joys in their eyes.

"We're going to have a baby," Jenna told him happily.

Alaric gave a joyful laugh before he turned to look at everyone else. "We're having a baby!" he shouted out to everyone and then as everyone cheered they moved in to join in on the hug with the happy couple and congratulate them.

"The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout, down came the rain and washed the spider out!" Rose was sing to Claire as she lay on the bed with the adorable two year old and tried to teach her the actions to the song.

"Pider wash out," Claire repeated as she had her hands together trying to follow along to Sage and Rose while they sang the song to her.

"Good girl" Sage applauded and gave her a quick kiss on the head. "Up came the sun and dried up all the rain"

"Ity bity pider" Claire chimed in.

"Haha yes and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!" Rose sang as she finished the song. "YAY we did it!" she cheered and then lifted Claire up in the air as the little girl let out a shriek of laughter.

"You know we could get use to this" Damon said as him and Elena were standing in the door way watching as Rose and Sage were playing with Claire and keeping her in high spirits. The two girls were very excited when they got invited to the weekend at the cottage because they would get to spend time with Damon and Elena but mostly Claire. "Having a pair of babysitters eagerly on hand" he added as the two of them moved further into the room.

"Mommy!" Claire squealed as Rose set Claire down so that she could run across the bed and over to her parents. She quickly stumbled into her mother's arms and as Elena wrapped her arms around her tightly she planted kisses all over the little girls face while rocking her in her arms.

"Well if we become neighbours in the fall it could happen" Sage reminded them with a wink.

"That apartment across from us is still up for grabs on campus," Rose added knowing that to two were pretty close to renting the apartment.

"Yeah well it's not open anymore" Damon replied.

"Wait what? Since when" Sage asked no a little bummed that someone else got the apartment.

"Yeah, and hopefully the new residence won't be too noises for you. I hear they have a bit of a night owl and early riser running around looking very cute", Elena said with a big grin on her face as she tickled Claire's tummy.

As Sage and Rose realized what Elena was saying their jaws dropped and their eyes were wide with excitement. "OH MY GOD YOU GOT THE APARTMENT!" Rose squealed as she and Sage jumped up to give Damon and Elena hugs.

"I'll do my best to keep my cuteness to a minimum" Damon teased but Sage and Rose just rolled their eyes at him.

"We may have to work on that cockiness you have" Sage replied as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"No point in trying to fix something that's not broken" Damon responded back with a grin.

"Well you we will tolerate but we can't wait to live across from Elena and this little one" Rose said as she leaned in to kiss Claire on the cheek.

Claire gave the girls a smile for a moment but slowly it turned into a yawn as she started to rub her tired eyes.

"Well I think its time we get some sleep, this is suppose to be a relaxing trip before the wedding so I think we will call it a night" Sage told them as her and Rose got up and ready to leave. "We are so happy you guys got the place," she added happily.

"We are too" Elena replied with a smile. "Have a goodnight," she said to them as they waved and left the room and then the three of them alone in the room. Elena looked down at Claire just in time to see her let out another big yawn. "And this little one is definitely ready for bed since she didn't really nap this afternoon" Elena said as she kissed the top of Claire's head.

"Here I'll put her down" Damon said as gently took his ladybug into his arms and walked over to put her down in her crib. As he turned his back to her, she could hear him softly talking to Claire and although couldn't make out what he was saying as he placed her down in her crib, Elena could hear Claire responding to him. It as one of those father daughter moments where Elena watched them from a far and saw the bond between the two of them. It always brought a smile to her face to see how Damon was with their little girl and seeing the love in his eyes he had for her.

While Damon made sure Claire was down for the night, Elena got ready for bed and when she returned she saw Damon standing by the bed and removing his shirt. With a smile she walked over to him in her nightgown and reached her hands out to touch his bare skin back and then move her fingers up along his shoulders. Once she was standing right behind him her lips started to leave tender kisses on his back and shoulder before Damon turned around to face her,

With a smile a hand came up to brush the hair away from around Elena's face before he leaned in to capture her lips. His hands slowly moved down her body to her waist to pull her even closer to him.

Elena wrapped her arms around Damon's neck as the kiss deepened and their tongues darted from her mouth to his. When Elena finally pulled away she had a smile on her face as her forehead rested against his. "Well it's been quite a day," she said with a bit of a chuckle.

"Yeah" Damon said with a nervous laugh before leading Elena onto the bed so that they could get a little more comfortable. "I spent a good chunk of it trying to figure out how we could care for two kids on my part-time job bartending when we both attend school."

"Yeah one is enough" Elena told him.

"For now" Damon added with a smile.

Looking over at him Elena bit her bottom lip as she gave a smile. Sure she had thought about having more kids when she got older but her and Damon had yet to really have that conversation considering they had so much more on their plates at the moment. "You think about us having more kids" she asked him as they lay on their sides on the bed facing each other.

"Yeah a little bit," he admitted, "You?"

Elena gave a nod, "Yeah I guess I have thought about maybe having a couple more," she told him.

"A couple more?" Damon repeated a little shocked.

"What? How many were you thinking?" she asked him.

"I don't know… six or seven" Damon teased and watched at Elena sat up and backed away from him.

"Whoa sorry buddy but there is no way I am having seven babies," she told him sternly as she shook her head. "You'll have to find someone else to carry your soccer team of children."

Damon gave a chuckle as he pulled Elena back onto the bed and pressed his lips against hers. "Actually I would need ten more for a soccer team" he corrected her and unfortunately just received a slap from Elena in return for it. "Okay fine" Damon said as he rolled his eyes. "How about three more and a dog" he asked her.

"Oh do you want this in writing tonight?" Elena joked.

"That would be great" Damon teased back with a laugh.

"Well how about we discuss the two or three more later and just continue to practice for now" she offered and saw the grin on Damon's face grow as he moved in to capture her lips in a kiss.

"Okay… but we can still get the dog right?" he asked and as Elena let out a giggle he rolled on top of her to capture her lips once more.

They had a bright future ahead of them and as the two were growing into young adults they had many big milestones ahead of them. For now moving in together was the next big step, and one that they were both really excited about. Expanding their family was going to have to wait a few more years and both were okay with that. Right now Mystic Falls had another baby to gush over for the time being as Jenna and Alaric would be becoming proud parents in the near future and both Elena and Damon knew the two of them would be amazing parent and that the little boy or girl was going to be loved by so many people just as Claire is.

Now on to the Wedding before our friends head off to college and say goodbye to their teenage years. Thanks for reading.
