Damon's POV
"I feel...better."
"Thank god," Jenna breathed.
I couldn't be more relieved. This pregnancy has me worried. I feel like it could kill her at any moment. It's the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. And the sad thing is something could really go wrong and I wouldn't know what to do. None of us really would.
"Why did that work?" Elena asked.
"I'm not quite sure. But all that matters is that it did. Maybe, we should postpone the wedding. I mean we can always get married after the baby comes. I mean-"
"Damon, we've waited too long already. I want to be your wife. We've gone through so much together. I don't want to wait any more time. Tomorrow isn't soon enough. Life is short...well for me I guess it is."
"Are you sure?" I asked her quirking my eyebrow.
"I'm positive. Your not backing out are you?"
"Never."
Elena let's out a yawn. "Let's get you into bed-"
"She can sleep after we see who won." Caroline chimed in.
When did she get back? She grabs Elena's hand and pulls her away from me. It took everything I had not to explode. Does she not know what's going on? Elena's health is more important than some stupid game of theirs.
Elena's POV
Caroline takes me to the whole other side of the house away from the boys' prying ears. She leads us into a room that I haven't seen before. It was gorgeous just like the rest of the place. The low hanging chandelier lit the room. She pulled me onto the large tan sectional.
"I feel like I'm sitting on a cloud." I smiled. The girls laugh. Shit I said that outloud. Oh well. This couch is so comfy that I don't really care.
Okay Everyone pull out their pictures and show them.
We look at Bonnie and Carolines photos first. I laugh when I see the picture of Bonnie dancing with five different guys. I look at her and she face turns slightly red. The next picture was of Caroline kissing a rather cute guy. I hope Klaus never sees this. We all know how possessive he tends to be. If he did I wouldn't put it past him to find the guy and kill him. I look at the next picture, I bursted out laughing. It was a picture of the penis made of food. It was what looked like a corn dog and something fried in the shape of balls.
"Here are the condoms and a guy's phone number." She put it on the coffee table. "We totaled 107 points." She stated feeling proud of herself. And Bonnie well, her face was a bit more red than the last time.
Jenna and I were next. We passed our pictures around getting a few laughs. That's when Jenna pulls out some condoms. "I see your three condoms and raise you three. Which makes a total of 6 condoms for us. Which should double our points of 45 to 90." Wait when did she do this? I start laughing again. And Elena had gotten the phone number.
"What? No I didn't." I asked.
"Well this is for you." She hands me the piece of paper with the number on it. I look at the messy handwriting and could barely make out the number or the name written on it.
"Whose is it?"
"Well, you must've left a pretty good impression on the guy that held the bathroom door open for us when we were leaving the men's restroom. He handed me his number and asked me to give it to you before we left."
I start laughing uncontrollably. I couldn't believe it, we we're leaving the men's room. What kind of impression did I leave other than I might be a tranny or just was so drunk I didn't realize I was in the men's room.
"Which totals us at 142 points."
Rebekah hands her pictures over to us. "Lexi mooned a car full of teenagers."
We looked at Lexi who had a huge smile on her face. "What? It was all in good fun. Rebekah here slept with a cop in the back of his cruiser. And there's the picture of them having sex." She shows us the picture.
"Oh MY GOD! You didn't have to take a picture of it!" Caroline exclaimed.
That's when Rebekah pulls out a pair of boxer-briefs. "I even received a momento from it."
I couldn't stop laughing at this point. I began to cry from laughing so hard.
"He was great at his job. And I do mean great." Now she was grinning ear to ear. "Oh and here's his number. After we're all said and done, we totaled 146 points. Which means we win!"
"Elena, are you okay?" Bonnie asks.
"I can't stop laughing."
"Elena it's not that funny." Caroline adds.
"I know..I I-" I couldn't speak anymore. My sides were starting to hurt after 15 minutes of non-stop laughing. I could feel the laughs begin to subside. My face was soaked with tears. I exhaled deeply trying to catch my breath.
"Well, since Elena has finally calmed down. Here are your prizes. State of the art cameras with a wireless printer."
That was my queue. I wanted to go back to Damon. I stood up and was leaving the room when Caroline stopped me. "Where are you going, Elena?" She asked.
"To be with Damon."
"Elena. You're supposed to spend the night apart from each other until the actual ceremony."
"Care, I love you and I appreciate everything that you have done for me...but this isn't the average wedding. I mean I'm marrying a vampire and am pregnant with a half human/half vampire child."
"I know but it's bad luck."
"Caroline, it's fine. Stop being so superstitious. I don't believe in it. It's all just a bunch of crap."
"Don't say I didn't warn you. It's not going to be my fault if someone falls into your cake or something like that happens." I heard her whisper as I left.
I made my way to our room. Damon was watching tv. I plop down next to him and his arm automatically wraps around me. I love this. If I could I would stay here the rest of my life. Just like this, wrapped in his arms where I felt safe and loved.
"So after I have the baby..." I began
"Elena...don't go there."
"Damon, guess what?" He looks at me with a serious face. "I'm going there. You can't avoid it anymore. You're not really gonna let me grow old are you?"
"Yes. That is my plan. That way when you're really old and you know wrinkly... People will think that I'm the cougar's caretaker." He wiggle his eyebrows. I conceal my laughter. Even though it was extremely hard.
"Eww. Damon that's disgusting. How do you come up with the things that comes out of your mouth?"
"It's from spending many years on this earth. You pick up a few things after a century. Elena, I'll make you a deal. I will turn you when our child is a year old."
"Four months." Did I really just barter with him?
"Six months...final offer. Take it or leave it."
"I'll take it. But you know...I don't necessarily need you to turn me. There are other vampires around here that would do it for me."
"Yes, but that means that they would be crossing me."
"Damon. You wouldn't kill anyone here they are our friends. Well...most of them anyway."
"Is that what you think of me? That I just instantly resort to violence?"
"Well, yeah Damon. It used to be your M.O."
"Good point. Now let's get you into bed, you look exhausted." I didn't argue as he picked me up and put me into the bed. I couldn't wait for tomorrow because that's when I'll be Mrs. Elena Salvatore. I snuggled up to his chest. My eye lids soon grew heavy as I let the darkness take over with a smile on my face.

I'm sorry it's been so long. I've just been very busy with everything. So was it worth the wait? I took two days trying to write this story. Thinking, typing, deleting...lol I'm so indecisive at times. Like always leave your thoughts and questions in the review. Tell me if you liked the chapter or if you didn't. Also I haven't picked out a color scheme for the wedding so if you want to throw some in the review it would be greatly appreciated. It would save me researching color schemes. Thanks again for taking your time to read my story and for the reviews.
