Chapter six.
Elena's POV.
I am on the beach with the sun caressing my face. I fell someone presence behind me and I turn around.
"Babe, there you are" Stefan says to me before kissing me like his life depending on it. He sits behind me.
"I wanted to enjoy the sun" I reply and smile when he rubs my back softly.
"I don't think it's good for the baby" I realize that I have a little tummy under my dress.
"I know but I love watching the sun reflect against the sea.." I say and lie my head on his chest.
"I know you love babe. It's getting cold, come." he says in my ear and I shiver against him.
"Can we just stay a little longer ?" I ask and close my eyes enjoying the warmth of Stefan.
"Of course but we have to go soon"
"I know Care and Nik have told me to be there at eight PM."
"How is my little girl ?" he asks and rubs my belly.
"She is fine, she moves" I reply and place my hands over his.
We stay here during fifteen, watching the sun and I fall asleep against him when he rocks me and rubs his hands over my belly with the sounds of waves. "Elena, babe wake up. We have to go, it's chilly." he tells me.
"Humm, no I don't want to leave." I say with a sleepy voice.
"We have to and especially you have to, so we can see our princess"
"I'm scared, Stefan" I whisper and hold back my tears.
"What ?! What are you talking about ?" he asks with concern in his voice.
"If I open my eyes, you will be gone and I can't live without you-"
"I will never leave you, Elena. How can you think that ?" he asks worried.
"I don't know, maybe-"
"I'm the lucky one to have you in my life. You're an amazing woman, a wonderful wife and you will be the best mother to our daughter." I feel my body push back against him and gaps for air when he kiss my neck and awakens.
"Hey, baby.." Stefan says softly.
"What are you doing here ?" I ask even if my throat burn.
"I'm here because you are here and I need to be near to you" He replies.
"No, you don't. You can't be here, she will come after me and Ella and I can't lose her" I try to hold my tears to see him next to me but I can't.
Stefan's POV.
"Baby, don't cry. She will never come after you, I will protect you and our daughter just like I did before for you."
"No, no, Stefan, please." she tries to sit up but I see that she will pass out any second. "Its hurt" she whispers drowsy.
"Where ?" I ask and take her head in my hands.
"My head, its hurt, please help me."
"I will go find a nurse or someone, Ok ?" I say and leave the room searching a nurse.
I find a nurse and she told me that she will come when she will have finished with this patient.
"Baby, she will come in any minute." I say when I return in her room.
She is get up and put her clothes in a suitcase. "What are you doing ?!"
"I have to go, Stefan. I don't want to put my daughter's life in danger because you are here with me."
"You don't go anywhere ! You have to stay here, take care of yourself.." I reply and approach her slowly. She takes two steps back.
"Don't, Stefan. I can't fight you, you are my weakness as Ella. Please, let me leave." she says with tears roll down her cheeks.
"Elena, look at me" I say, she looks up at me and I lock my eyes with her. "You don't have to leave, Taylor's guys keep an eye on her. Don't worry about her, she will never touch you again." I respond and caress her cheeks.
"What if she comes and take Ella away from me ? What if she come and kidnaps her ?" she asks with more tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Stop. I have everything under control. Come here" I say and she takes refuge in my arms. She cries even harder when I tell her that I see our daughter.
There is a knock at the door and I wipe her tears away.
"I'm sorry, Sir but I have a situation" Taylor tells me, I nod and he leaves the room.
"I will go talk to Taylor and maybe look for Ella, what do you think ?" I ask and look at her.
"Yes, I want to see her" she replies and places her head in the crock of my neck. I kiss her hair and I hold her tighter against me during a few minutes.
"What is the situation, Taylor ?" I ask him when I let Elena sleeping in her bed because she falls asleep against me, she was exhausted. The nurse come and gave her some morphine which help her to calm down.
"Miss Pierce have ransack your office this morning because she has your elevator code" he says.
"What is she found ? Why nobody stop her ?" I ask but I see nothing she could find against me.
"Nothing but she was very angry, she broke everything in your apartment."
"Ok. I will call her later today. I'll get Ella, you can take the end of the day off. Next time, I will dismiss you if she returns."
He nods and I go in Caroline's room because Ella is here, Nik text me several minutes ago.
"Hey Care, how are you today ?" I ask when I enter in her room.
"I'm good and Elena ?" she asks.
"She is Ok, I think. She doesn't really talk to me but she wants to see our daughter. So, here I am to pick her if it's Ok with you ?"
"Of course, take her. Nik told me that she spoke about you all night. She is with Nik in the cafeteria, she will come any minutes." she smiles.
"Really ?"
"Of course, she said she hoped that you're his father.." she says with joy in her voice.
"Really ? I hope Elena will tells her that I'm her father"
"She will do when she's ready. It took her a long time to accept her pregnancy without you around, she was lonely and scared, but she faced this situation."
"I should have be there but she left me ! She left me without nothing.. and now, I have a daughter-" I can't finish my sentence because the door opens.
"Auntie Care, can I see my Mama ?" Ella asks her when she opens the door and she runs towards me. I take her in my arms and kiss her hair.
"Yes, you can. Actually I'm here to take you to see her, if you want."
Elena's POV.
"Mama ! Mama !" Ella runs towards me "Dada doesn't want to stop, chase me" she says hiding behind my legs.
"It's because you challenge him, sweetie" I reply and smile at Stefan when he enters in the kitchen.
"Where is my baby girl ?" Stefan asks me playfully.
"I don't know, maybe in the living room" I smile.
"I'm here !" Ella says and jumps in Stefan's arms.
"Here you are, put on your shoes we go to the swimming pool." Stefan says and kiss her hair.
"Mama you're going with us ?" Ella asks me and sat on the counter.
"I can't honey, your brother or sister doesn't stop kicking. I'm tired so have fun with your Dad." I say and Stefan rubs my belly. Ella put on her shoes in the living room.
"Get some sleep, Baby." Stefan says and kiss me on the lips. "I love you both"
"I love you too" I kiss him again and he pulls me closer to him, I feel him smile against my mouth.
"Ella hurry !" Stefan says and kiss my neck before going to see Ella.
"Bye, Baby. Maybe we can have a little fun when I get home." he says seductively.
"Go, before I make it easy for you to stay here with me" I wink at him.
"Make it easy for me to stay ?" he asks and turning back towards me. I slowly lift my shirt and expose my new black bra.
"You're lucky that I'm late.." he begins and Ella is ready.
They leave for the swimming pool and I start the diner. But I begin to feel a severe pain in my belly. I fall on the ground and place my hands on stomach. "Stefan..." I whisper.
"Elena, wake up" I hear Stefan voice but I don't understand the words who live his lips.
"Elena, Baby" Stefan's fingertips caress my cheek and I open my eyes slowly.
"Mama !" My baby girl screams and jump in my bed.
"Hello, baby" I whisper trying to catch my breath when I see Stefan and Ella together for the first time.
"How are you ?" Ella asks me before turning back to Stefan and he nods his head at her. She hands me her drawing, I take it and look at it. It's us. Oh my. It's my dream come true. Stefan, Ella and me. Us
"Fine, sweetie and you ?" I say but I wince when she pulls her against me.
"Ella, go down, your mother is ill" he says sweetly and she sit on his laps.
"Since when you listen someone other than me ?" I ask her playfully. She pouts at me and she giggles.
There is a knock and the door opens. "Sorry, but I have to check your ribs and your injuries" a nurse tells me.
"Baby girl, go with Dada" I say without thinking and Stefan look at me shocked with wide open eyes.
"Don't ask Ella, go ahead" I say when I see that she will question me. "Come baby girl. We will wait outside, what do you think ?" Stefan asks and Ella turns to him.
"Dada.." she whispers and jumps in his arms open. She places her head in the crook of his neck and I see her smile when she is truly happy.
It's like a breathe again when I see my daughter and her father together. Sometimes life can surprise us and truly smile for the first time in three years.
