Sour But Sweet

Chapter 15

Elena pov

My morning so far has been fun, almost perfect. Waking up to the father of my child, my mate. I've pulled out a pair of black jeans that aren't too tight and a tight army green top. It hugs my body in all the right places. Klaus has left me to get dressed while he does the same in his room. Even though this morning has been so good I still can't help but to think what my family would think of me back at home.

I haven't called Bonnie or Caroline in a while and I miss them so much. I want to tell them about the baby even though Caroline and Bonnie will be mad but would understand. Caroline had a thing for Klaus and it was clear after a while. So she would understand right? Bonnie I worry as to who the father is but would she still be my best friend. Jeremy will be an uncle. Even though he hates Klaus I still think he will be there for me. God I missed Jeremy so much. He is my brother and I wish I could see him.

I feel a single tear slide out of my eye. I will not cry! I have a family here right? Rebekah called me her sister and Kol and Elijah love me in different ways. Klaus though. I am his Mate, mother of his child but did I love him? Could I love someone who I thought was a pure monster? Even though he has changed so much I still can't shut those memories completely away. Aunt Jenna I won't ever see again and that hurts. I'm having the baby of the same person who killed my aunt. My only Aunt. My family is shattered. I don't have any blood relatives alive. Jeremy technically isn't my brother but he will always be my brother even if there are no blood ties. The only blooded family I will have will be this baby.

Even though I am getting a child which was what I wanted as part of being human, none of this feels even remotely close to being human. I'm having a miracle child. "Elena, there is food waiting for you. Are you okay Love?" I don't look at Klaus but simply nod. "I just need a minute". I needed more than a minute but he didn't need to know that. When Klaus leaves the room I pull my phone out of my pocket and dial my brother's number. I sit back on the bed and wait for the phone to pick up.

Jeremy: "Elena is that you?" His voice, happy in surprise, makes tears well up in my eyes.

Elena: "It's me Jer, I've missed you so much and it's only been a week that I left"

Jeremy: "I know and I understand why you left, Bonnie told me. How are you, is Klaus still a raging ass?" I laugh at his comment and think of the times where Klaus's raages.

Elena: "I'm good they have been treating me nicely and they all don't want me dead which is good. Klaus still rages but he's changed Jer '' I try to hide the happiness when I talk about Klaus. He can't know anything yet.

Jeremy: "That's good to know. I'm okay I promise everything is fine here, Caroline has been keeping Stefan company with all his brooding and Damon spends most of his days at the bar with Ric. Bonnie has been learning stuff with her magic and I've been working. Matt and Tyler are good as well. We're all okay so please don't worry about us and Elena I love you no matter what you're". My night terrors are only fake and aren't real, but then why do I keep having them? If Jeremy Loves me and won't kill me then what?

Elena : "I love you too Jer, I'll talk to you soon okay"

I end the phone call even though I wish I could spend hours talking to him.

In front of me are all sorts of food. "Kol and Elijah have been cooking and think one is better than the other," Rebekah informs me. I dig into the food, not waiting another minute longer.

Rebekah takes a seat beside me as I sit at the bottom end of the table. Kol sits next to Rebekah and Klaus at the other end. The food is amazing and I can't tell who made what.
