The Choice

Chapter 4: The test

Elena's Pov:

*CURRENT TIME*

It had been weeks, weeks since I had slept with Damon. I love Stefan and our love hasn't stopped despite what had happened between me and Damon. Everything was okay, until one day everything changed. 

Lately I had been feeling a little ill, I was nauseous all the time and had headaches that drove me mad. I thought it was the flu until one day: I was eating in the cafeteria and usually the food was gross, but today it was even worse for some reason. 

Stefan sat next to me, and cuddled me, he knew I liked it when he did that. But then bonnie sat down, and I don't know what food she had on her plate, but it made me want to vomit. I quickly excused myself and ran to the bathroom, dropped to my knees and puked straight into the toilet. this was my first warning.

Later Stefan asked me if I was okay, I assumed he was talking about earlier in the cafeteria and I responded. "I don't know lately I have just felt sick and exhausted?", "Do you think that it's your period?", Stefan asked. "Yeah probably." and with that I wondered off...

*THE NEXT DAY*

"Care?" I say walking with Caroline to school. "What is it, Elena?". "Lately I have been feeling really sick, and tired, and overall, just off. and my period is late so...?" Caroline just stops and stares at me, "What do you think you're pregnant or something?".  "It's impossible right?"...

I had told Caroline about me and Damon, I mean she wasn't happy, but she helped me through it. 

Caroline suggested that I should get a pregnancy test, you know, just to be safe and I Reluctantly agreed. We went to a nearby CVS and picked up a few, when we checked out, we did get some concerning stairs from the employees though.

On the drive home all I could think about is, 'What if I was pregnant, who is the father and what would I tell Jer?'

When we got home, I immediately ran up to the bathroom and took three of them. I was hoping, praying that it would be negative!

 When I came out of the bathroom, I handed Caroline all of the tests to Care. "Elena, it says on the box we should wait 5 minutes for the results." and continued by saying "Elena even if it is positive, everything will be okay." she says in a chipper voice. Soon the 5 minutes were up, and we had to check the tests...

 But i wasn't ready, I'm too young to even be thinking of having kids, let alone with a vampire. Not only did i have to deal with being possibly pregnant but also having 2 possible baby daddies; one of them was my boyfriend and the other was his brother!

"Caroline? do we really have to look?" I say with my nerves about to burst just when Caroline said, "Elena we don't have to do this, we don't have to look."

I couldn't know, what if it was Damons and Stefan would leave me, I mean how could I blame him? I slept with his brother!?!"Okay Elena how about this, I can look and when you're ready I can tell you what it says." 

I nodded my head and Caroline gave me a hug before getting the tests from the bathroom. when she came back, I somehow knew what the answer would be, well, a part of it......
