Reckless Minds

Son of Stefan

I walk into the kitchen and Lexi stands there. I still can't believe she's pregnant. Not one, not two, but THREE babies in the house? Hello to no sleep.

Suddenly she leans over.

"Woah, Lexi, you okay?" She grimaces.

"You're about to become an uncle. Get me to the hospital." I run toward the stairs.

"STEFAN!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Elena runs in.

"What's going on Damon?"

"Lexi's having the baby. STEFAN!" He comes downstairs.

"What?!?"

"Your girlfriend is in labor, daddio. Come on." He rushes into the kitchen and helps Lexi.

Elena's POV

Soon Lexi's settled into her hospital room, and we're all waiting. Damon holds my hand as I investigate. My baby bump is bigger than usual. Stefan comes out.

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah. She's asking for you, Elena." I nod then I head into her room. I sit beside her and she smiles. Stefan follows me.

"Do you have any tips?" She asks weakly.

"Well, Damon's kids are freaking impatient as hell. When I had Ember, it took about an hour and a half, and my water broke in the Louvre when I had Damien. He came thirty minutes later. Meredith said with your progress, Nathan will be here within 8 hours. So I say contraction, break Stefan's hand and curse him." Stefan laughs and I smile.

"Thanks so much, Elena." I go back out and Meredith looks at me. She first smiles then she furrows her eyebrows while still smiling.

"Elena... How far along are you?" I look down.

Damon stands. "She's about 12 weeks, why?" She waves me over.

"I want to take a look." I go into an examination room and Damon follows behind.

"Do you think something's wrong with the baby?" He asks.

"No. I think your baby... Well... Let's take a look." She preps the ultrasound, and starts. She laughs.

"That makes a lot more sense."

"What is it?"

"You're having twins, Elena." I go wide eyed and I look at Damon. He grins and I smile back. She prints us out a sonogram and we head back out. Damon (being Damon) lifts me up and spins me around.

"Two beautiful creations we've made!" I laugh and kiss him. We turn to see Ember confused, Damien off in his own little world, and Stefan looking kinda sad. Damon voices my concerns.

"Stef, you okay?"

"Huh? What? Oh, yeah." Damon tugs me into his waist. His protective stance? What's going on?

"Elena. Elena." Damon brings me back from my own little world and laughs.

"Ember and I were just going to run for some burgers. Do you want to go?"

"No, I'll stay here." His eyebrows turn down. I grab him by his John Varvatos shirt and crush my lips to his. He wraps his arms around my waist. When we pull away, he smiles.

"What was that for?"

"To prove that I'm not going anywhere." I whisper. He grins then kisses me again.

"I'll be back soon with your usual."

"Thank you." He walks out with Ember and I sit down. Stefan sits next to me.

"What's going on with you and Damon?" I ask.

"He's just being Damon." I raise an eyebrow.

"Elena... I love you. I've always loved you. Somewhere in your heart I know you love me too, so stop fighting it." I scoff at him.

"I did love you. Once. I didn't know it but the minute you left with Klaus, I didn't love you anymore." I get up and he grabs my arm.

"Just be with me. Who cares about Damon? He's a monster. Just like he's always been!"

"I care about Damon! Guess what, Stefan?!? I chose him. I love him! He gave me protection when you left me Stefan! I will never be with you again! I am Mrs. Damon Salvatore! I will be that way for all eternity so move on! I mean seriously, your girlfriend is in the midst of having a baby! Your baby!" He shakes his head as I stand up.

"You loved me first. You still love me." I scoff again.

"Yes Stefan. I was with you first. But if we were meant to be, why did I fall in love with Damon?" At this moment he walks back in.

"What's going on?" He comes over to my side and I blink back tears, but he sees them. Stefan goes back in the room with Lexi.

"Baby, what happened?" He asks. His voice is filled with concern, as are his eyes.

"Stefan tried to convince me to go behind your back and be with him instead. He thinks that I don't really love you." He sighs.

"I really hate to ask this... Is he right?" I feel my temper flare up.

"Look." I nod my head in the direction where Damien and Ember are eating.

"What about them?" He asks sadly.

"Do you really think that they'd be here if I didn't love you?" He shrugs.

"I just... How can you see past all the bad things I've done?"

"Because you were there. You protected me. You loved me when nobody else was there to. I fell in love with you faster than a truck. It hit me harder than one. Damon, you're my one and only. I will always be with you." He leans down and presses his lips to mine, his hands cupping my face. I wrap my arms around his neck and he goes toward the room where we found out about the twins. Luckily Damien and Ember aren't looking.

He pushes through the door and presses me up against it gently. I reach down and lock it then I tug at Damon's jacket.

We lay in the hospital bed, our legs entwined.

"I think this is one of the more kinkier places." I laugh and he smiles at me.

"Come on. We have to go check on Lexi."

"Why is Stefan so freaking determined to be with you?" He mumbles.

"I don't know." I sit up a little. "But I love you. Nothing will ever change that. I promise." He sits up and presses his lips to mine.

Sorry, it's a bit shorter but I need to tell you that I won't be able to work on Reckless Minds as much, my school life is going down the drain. I'll start updating every Thursday in honor of TVD!!! :)

Happy Early Valentines!!!
