Damon P.O.V

There is only one word that could describe the current scenario 'Déjà vu'. All my friends were gathered around my living room as they watch me pacing over the hallway.

The only difference is that this time there is an additional member, by brother who started at me from the laptop screen. None of us uttered a single word as everyone continued to stare blankly at each other, my brother was the first to break the silence.

"Can anyone will tell me what is this sudden gathering is about? "

I was about to say something when Kol turned the screen towards himself with a scowl on his face.

"Your brother is getting married and we are not invited, and next he is going to say we are not invited in our niece or nephew's life.

I mean what the hell is this?"

Kol glared at me and I just sighed in defeat.

"Guys, please try to understand. There is no way I can invite you lot.

I mean I can invite Rick and maybe even Rose but Elena knows you three and it would be weird not to mention the a huge risk of exposing the truth to invite you guys at my wedding."

Kol stands up looking angry while his brothers remained calm.

"Unbelievable!"

With that he gave me one last dirty look and then stormed outside in anger.

Rose and Bree stared after him looking sympathetic at this situation. Finally Rose turn towards me.

"So how am I going to be invited?"

She was trying to ask normally but I can detect her happiness.

"Elena needs a wedding planner for preparation and I am going to recommend you."

Her face fell upon hearing this.

"I think you are forgetting that I am an interior decorator not a wedding planner."

Stefan then clears his voice to get our attention.

"Umm, Care can help you. She is into this planning stuff and besides as much I know Elena she would want a simple wedding so it would be no problem for you guys to arrange it."

Both Rose and I sigh in relief in fact now Rose is more excited about this wedding.

"That's great! And I can take El as my date. I am sure Elena will have no problem with Elijah. I mean we can pass this as a coincidence."

We all raise our eyes and I am sure Elijah looked flustered but happy with this arrangement.

I looked at Klaus and he was quite but he looked disappointed.

"Well if El, can go as Rose date then Bree can take Nick with her as date."

Bree flashed me a look muttering "what the hell " with her eyes but when Klaus looked at her with hopefulness her face softened a little.

"Sure, sure, no problem and Elena won't mind, I am sure about it."

He had this huge smile on his face as he says.

"Thanks and I will be best date you ever have."

We were all relieved when all this was decided but still it left one person who is dying to attend my wedding.

"Umm, guys what about Kol? I mean we can't leave him out but I don't know how can I invite him because I am certain Elena would not want him even if he came as someone's date and I can't invite him as a friend because then it will spur a bunch of questions which I won't be able to answer"

I looked around and knew that they all agreed with me.

"Unless Rick takes him as his date."

Rick looked at me with incredulously.

"Are you out of your mind. I am a straight guy and besides it was Kol who had hit on Elena."

I raise my hands in surrender.

We all realize the dilemma of not inviting Kol but we all are helpless in this situation.

Klaus sighed as he tried to sound hopeful.

"I just hope Kol will be able to take this news."

It was a wishful thinking but what else can we do in this situation.

Kol P.O.V

Damon is going to kill me and then rise me from death then beat me to death before finally killing me again.

I don't want to do this but if they thought they can make me stay away from Damon's wedding then they don't know me at all.

I was looking nervously at Delicious Bakers where I knew Elena works.

If I went inside and my plan won't work then I will be ruining our only friend's life who has been lucky enough to find girl of his dreams.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

I was about to walk away when I felt someone tapping on my shoulder.

I turned around to come face to face with my soon to be sister in law who was glaring at me.

"You! You are that same jerk who had hit on me and then got me sacked?"

I gulped and covered my junk in case she was planning to kick me again.

"What are you doing here? If its apology you want then you better run away before I damage your tiny package further more."

How can someone so tiny can be so intimidating.

Without even realizing the words came out of my mouth, which was kind of true.

"You remind me of my sister."

She was surprised at my words.

"Excuse me?"

I felt myself a bit unsteady as I try to explain myself.

"What I meant was that only my sister used to call out on me, she'd even hit my head if I was out of line, but now she lives in London with her husband and there was no one to set me straight and that day you kind of reminded me about what my sister would have done."

Elena was silent. I guess she wasn't expecting these words to fall out of my mouth.

Seeing she hasn't hit me yet. I decide to leave.

"So I got to go, I just came here to apologise about my behaviour and especially about you losing your job. I swear I never wanted that, in fact after that night me and my brothers never went back at that place. We even spread word about how shitty their management is."

Her face visibly softened and a smile crept on her beautiful face.

"Thanks and sorry about that kick."

I grimaced as I remember that.

"Please don't mention it, ever I mean it."

She burst out in laughter and I can't help but to join her.

"Sorry, it's just you remind me of my brother. He used to make exact same face when he is remembering some bitter memory."

Her laughter stopped and she looked at me with her kind eyes.

"You really do miss your sister don't you?"

I nodded and rubbed my neck in embarrassment.

"So I should go. It was nice meeting you Elena."

Her face turned in to frown.

"How do you know my name or where I work?"

Shit. I practically face palm myself at my stupidity.

"Umm, a manager told me your name when I came to apologise and they had your university name in your application so I did some digging and then found out you work here."

I really hope she buys my lie or else Damon will definitely kill me.

After few minutes of staring contest she finally smiled and held out her hand.

"Let's start over shall we. Hi I am Elena Gilbert."

I never felt so much relief in my entire life as I shake hands with her.

"Hi I am Kol Michelson."

She smiles as we shake hands then she looped her arms with me and start walking.

"Come on Kol. I just wasted my precious break on you , So as my new friend/brother you are going to have lunch with me while telling me all about your sister."

I realize that my feet are no longer moving.

"Brother?"

She looked at me shyly.

"Yeah, I mean I miss my brother too just like you miss your sister and you kind of remind me of him. So if its okay I can be your sister to straight you out on behalf of your sister and you can annoy me just like my brother."

A smile form on my face and now I realize why Damon loves her so much.

"Deal."

Together we left creating new bond between us and now I am not afraid because Damon won't hurt her brother.

Elena P.O.V

Today when I left home I never thought I will come back with new relationship.

A smile was plastered on my face as I enter my home which grew even more when I saw my fiance greeting me.

"Hey, you came home early?"

He brings me into his arms as we both sat down on our couch.

"I could ask you the same question, your in charge didn't give you any work?"

He laughed at this question and kissed my lips.

"For your information I am a very hardworking guy and the real reason why I came home early is that I found you a wedding planner."

That got my attention and I sat straight to see him clearly.

"You found us a wedding planner, but where, how? "

He smiled and placed a finger over my lips to stop the questions.

"Will you please listen to me calmly?"

I nodded my head and he removed his hand.

" Well since I announced my upcoming nuptials, my boss Alaric called me today to congratulate me and since I am kind of his favourite employee he gifted me our honeymoon tickets and he also asked our company event planner to help us plan our wedding."

An uneasy feeling crept through me but I tried to control my expression.

"That's really generous of your boss but we are not having lavish wedding. If I need help I can ask Bonnie and Caroline.

I don't think we can afford wedding planner."

He frowned at my uneasy tone.

"Lena, it's gift from my boss. I can't refuse him. Please try to understand."

He is pouting and he knows I couldn't resist this look.

"Okay fine but then I get to invite whoever I want and there would be no unnecessary expenses used on our wedding, Agreed."

He quickly nods and brings my face close to seal our deal with a kiss.

Soon that innocent kiss started to progress more but I pulled away as soon his hands start grouping my body.

"Umm, Damon we can't do this now."

He groaned as he kissed my lips again and then looked at me in frustrating sort of way.

"Why?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck as I bring our faces close.

"We have to leave for my first doctor's appointment."

His eyes widen in surprise.

"Then why didn't you inform me before hand! I mean seriously Lena you could have jumped on my bones later."

I felt my mouth hang open.

"What? Me jumping your bones? "

But instead of answering me he grabbed my hands and pulled me to stand up.

"Come now we can't be late for appointment and I promise when we return I will satisfy your raging hormones."

I shake my head as he collected his keys and wallet in hurry and then rushed outside towards his car.

He gently put safety belt around me to make sure that it wasn't tight around my stomach.

When we arrived at hospital I was extremely annoyed.

"Thank God we made it in this century."

He scoffed as he slowly parked his car.

"Sorry if I was driving carefully, which I remember you often lectured me for."

I knew he will turn it around me.

"I told you not to drive like maniac but these days you were driving like grand pa. Even turtle was faster than you."

He looked embarrassed as he looked away and replied in small voice.

"I was just being careful because I don't want to hurt you or the baby."

I rolled me eyes but his words struck a chord as he held my face adoringly.

"I will die if something happens to you or my daughter."

Before I knew it I crashed my lips against his and he kissed me back gently. After few seconds we pulled away to take in the much needed air.

"Come now daddy let's find out more about our daughter."

He smiled brightly at the word daughter.

"Let's go."

We went inside and luckily we didn't have to wait long when our name was called .

"Are you sure about this doctor?"

I squeeze his arms in assurance.

"Yes she is one of the best gynea in city. Bonnie recommended her."

He still looks uncertain as we went inside.

There was a beautiful woman with grey eyes and black hair.

" Hi, I am Dr Joe Parker. Please take a seats."

We sat down and before she can say anything Damon started interrogating her.

"You are quite young for a doctor."

I kicked his legs and then rush to apologise.

"Sorry Dr Joe my fiancé didn't mean anything by this."

He was about to protest but I shot him look silencing him.

"It's okay in fact I am impressed that your fiancé is protective enough about your well being. Not many fathers are like him."

He smiled at her at this compliment and I felt relief that now at least he won't continuously breath down on our doctors neck.

"So here are some documents I want you to fill while I set your ultrasounds test."

She left and we filled our paper and I had to hold back my smile as I saw how focused Damon was as he carefully filled his answers and then double checked both our papers.

A nurse came in and asked me to change in robe but when she asked Damon to leave he shot her look that scare her off.

When I gave him disapproving look he got defensive.

"What? I am not leaving you alone."

Thank God Dr Joe came in or else I would have smacked his over protective, stubborn head.

"Elena if you can lie down I can begin."

I do as she told and Damon held my hand but he looked more nervous than me.

"Now this may feel little cold."

I hiss at the coldness but it was soon forgotten as she pointed at the screen.

"Well that small peanut like shape you guys our seeing is your baby and its looks like eight weeks since you conceived. Do you want to hear heart beat?"

We nodded at same time and I can see the look of wonder pass on to Damon's face.

As we hear the heart beat of our child.

"Why is it beating so fast, I mean is it normal?"

My poor Damon, he looked scared for no reason.

"Relax its normal and strong heart beat. Your child is absolutely fine and healthy."

His shoulder slump and he looks at me.

"Dr, can we have a moment alone?"

She nods and left us. The moment she was gone Damon wrapped his arms around me as he kiss my face. There were happy tears in both of our eyes.

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

With each kiss he thanked me and finally he kissed my stomach and started talking to my stomach.

"I love you so much little one and I can't wait to meet you, and I am going to be best daddy in the world."

I started giggling as I hear what he planned.

"Damon, she can't hear you."

He just rolled his eyes as he laid another kiss on my belly.

"Even if she can't hear me My daughter can feel me."

He told me proudly.

He looked so adorable in his dad mode that I couldn't help myself as I grab him and kiss him senseless. After a while he pulled away giving me dazed look .

"Not that I mind but what is this kiss for?"

I smiled at him and hugged him tightly.

"I love you goof."

He groaned but wrapped his arms around me.

"Please don't call me that in front of my daughter."

I looked at him and he appears to look serious but his eyes gave him away.

"Fine but then I will call you goof while having sex."

He snapped his eyes at me as if I am talking crazy but I just laughed at his expanse.

"Fine, whatever you want."

############

A week later Stefan and Caroline came home for Christmas break and they will leave after our wedding. My brother unfortunately was arriving a day before Christmas. Still that didn't stop Damon to boost about our baby as he got so many copies of the ultrasound.

He was a proud father when he told everyone who has ears that how strong our baby heart beat is and how she is healthy and well inside me.

If Damon was any affectionate before its miniscule from how much he is affectionate now with me and somehow all this is making me fall for him more, if that is possible.

Today I am finally going to visit D.S.S because he has arranged meeting with our wedding planner.

Damon left with Stefan earlier because Stefan wanted to see his work place, so while

Boys went for work I brought Caroline to my work place.

"So how many bridesmaids you have? Since you are not doing the maid of honour thing."

I looked at my new blonde friend who is acting to appear disinterested as she plays with edible flowers I am making for cakes.

"Well there is Bonnie and my cousin."

I paused long enough to see her face fell a little.

"Oh I forget since Stefan is best man it's only fitting for you to be my maid of honour after all one day we will be family and you can always return this favour at your wedding."

She was speechless for moment before she let out a shrill cry and gave me a bear hug. I squeak a bit.

"Pregnant lady, please remember that before you hug me to death."

She dropped her arms but held my hands.

"Thanks Lena and I promise to be best maid of honour ever."

I tapped her hand and finished my flowers.

I was about to inform about my lunch break when I heard a familiar voice.

"There you are Elena I was hoping to have lunch."

Kol voice trailed off as he saw Caroline and she was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"Hey Kol I didn't expect to see you here. This is Caroline my friend and this is Kol my friend/Brother."

They shook hands but remain silent.

Caroline looked irritated while Kol looked nervous for some reason.

Finally he looked at me.

"I should go, umm bye."

He gave one last look to Caroline before waving at me as he turned away but somehow I stopped him before he could make an exit.

"Kol umm did you bring your car?"

Both Kol and Caroline looked confused for a while.

"Yea, why?"

I sighed in relief as I grab both their hands and left the bakery.

"We have an appointment and I have to be back in one hour so you are giving us ride there."

He looks like he didn't want to give us a ride but I looked at him with pleading eyes. Finally he sighed.

"Fine let's go."

When we reached his car I nearly screamed .

"What is this?"

He frowned and then smirk as he touched his car.

"Relax its latest Mercedes Benz."

I touched with shaking hand.

"It's fast car?"

He nodded his head.

I gulped and Caroline whispers in my ear.

"Hey I can call Stefan to pick us up."

She sounded hopeful but I shake my head.

"I am driving."

Kol looked at me as if I am crazy.

"What? But why?"

I touched my stomach to emphasis my point.

"I am pregnant and if my fiancé saw you bringing me in this car then he will kill you."

I thought he will take this as a joke but to my surprise he hurriedly gave his keys and then without any word sat inside the car.

"That's strange?"

I never felt this confused before by anyone's behaviour but to my surprise Caroline was smiling. She looked at me amusingly.

"Oh this was becoming stranger by each passing minute."

She took a shot gun and I sat in car feeling both scared and confused.

Damon P.O.V

I was waiting with for Elena and Caroline to arrive at the entrance of D.S.S. Few minutes later we saw Bonnie arriving with Enzo. She saw us and waved at us before grabbing Enzo hands as they came towards us.

"Hey guys, where is Elena?"

I looked at entrance again before answering her.

"She texted me that she will be coming with Caroline and some other friend."

She nods her head and I introduced them to my brother. I was about to call her when I hear my brother gasped at something. I looked at his line of sight.

I saw Elena smiling at me and Caroline nervous face but what makes my body stiffened was seeing my friend walking behind them looking deadly scared as he saw me.

"What the hell!"
