After - A Delena Story

12 - Surprise! -

Damon snaps his head towards me and asks "What?"

"Seeing the life they have, seeing you and the girls...it's made me realise I want it, now, I'm ready." I tell him.

"Elena...I took the cure last night." He reminds me with emphasis on the 'last night'

"I know it's insane but I'm ready. I don't excpect you to be in the slightest...you just need to know that I am." I say.

"I need time, I just made the biggest decision of my life and I don't regret it in the slightest but I'm just not ready for that yet...Elena, I'm so sorry..." He explains.

"Damon, you don't need to be sorry." I smile and place my hand on top of his.

"Your life just changed massively and I can't thank you enough for making that decision. I don't expect you to be ready for this yet." I reassure him and he smiles.

"Soon, I promise." He tells me and I butterflies bundle in my stomach.

He leans over and kisses me before starting to drive home.

Damon's Pov

She just blurted out that she's ready to have a baby.

I took the cure LAST NIGHT.
And she's already ready for a baby.

I'm not.
I don't think I'll be ready for years.

I'm staying calm though.
I don't understand how because usually I'd freak out but right now I'm keeping myself in control.

Maybe new and improved human Damon has better emotion control. I never got angry or anything before I turned...so I might not now.

Being human seems okay so far...
If anything bad happens or for a second I miss being a vampire I remind myself of why I did this.

Elena. I did it for Elena.

Dear Diary,

It's been nearly a week since Damon took the cure.
He's adjusted really well and I'm really happy.

Tomorrow Caroline is taking Bonnie and I dress shopping, we've been dress shopping three times but each time neither of us found a dress.

Caroline bought her dress the first time we went and it's stunning. But Bonnie and I need to get our own dresses soon, according to Caroline, I don't see the rush because the wedding isn't for ages.

Though, Damon likes to tell me, 'It's Caroline, she needs her wedding to be planned at least 9 months prior.'

While we're doing that Stefan is going to look for tuxes with Damon and Enzo.

I'm actually excited.

I wake up to the sun beaming across my face, I rub my eyes and turn onto my side to see Damon laying there fast asleep.

Ever since he took the cure he's been so lazy, which is strange to me because I'm used to Damon getting up early and making us breakfast.

I slowly sit up and dangle my feet of the bed.
I'm about to stand up when I feel my stomach churn.

I dart up and run into the en-suite.
Barely making it to the toilet.

I fall to the floor and wrap my arms around the toilet.

"Elena?" I hear Damon's husky morning voice call.

I try to answer him with a simple 'In here.' But can't.
My reply instead is me vomiting again.
