Time Period: A Flashback-before Stefanie's birth
Elena's p.o.v
Unnoticeably, Damon accompanied me to a local pharmacy where I picked up "medication". The
doctor prescribed these pills for me. I was far along in my pregnancy to have an abortion if I
wished. I chose a medicated abortion. Even though Damon supported my decision, I felt his
heart silently breaking. Back at home, I was in such disarray. I struggled to go through with the
procedure. Kai raped me, but I couldn't live with myself if I had an abortion. I didn't care if Damon threw
away the pills.
Event: Stefanie's home birth
Elena's p.o.v
"I have to push" I alerts Damon between 11:59 pm and 12:00 am. He checks me and concludes I
am ten centimeters dilated. I sacrifice my beauty sleep for a long pushing marathon. "The baby is crowning.
Do you want to touch the head?" Damon asks. "Hell no" I snap at him in the
mist of a painful contraction. "I am sorry for whatever I did wrong" Damon apologizes. "You got me
knocked up. That's what you did wrong" I remind him. I confuse him with Kai by accident.
"You put yourself and me in this situation. If you never wanted to be pregnant, you should've aborted the baby"
Damon argues breaking my heart. Adding to the drama, the pushing stage has been horrendous.
I worry and fear my body might give out from exhaustion. My daughter is worth the pain of
childbirth though. With Stefanie sucking on my breasts, I fall into a deep sleep. "Don't ever scare me
like that again" Damon whispers leading me into the light where I am reborn.
