Stelena: Eternal Love (2)

4- Telling the News

AN: Hey, just a quick note that when Stelena tell Elena's parents about the pregnancy, I've decided to make it Stefan's POV. It was Elena's last time so I wanted to change it so I can show what he's thinking.

One week later

Elena's POV
Dear Diary,
Today we are going to visit my parents, but it's not just any normal visit. We're going to tell my parents about my pregnancy, so it's a little scary. I'm not as nervous as I was when I told them about Isabella but, I'm still freaking out a little.
Although, truth be told, I know for a fact that they'll be supportive. They always have been. They've always trusted me and have told me that they'll always support my decisions.
I better go, I need to pack the rest of Isabella's things. We're staying over for the night just like we did last time.
Wish me luck!
Love Elena x

I placed my diary inside my bag, ready to go with us, before quickly packing my toiletries and wondering off into Isabella's room. You could hear her cries of laughter from our room. I walked in to see a giggling Isabella wriggling in Stefan's arms as he continued to tickle her.
"I wondered what all the noise was about. I thought you two were up to something." I said, barely holding in a laugh as I entered the room. Stefan's head turned to face me, his face plastered with an adorable smile.
"We were just playing, tell her boo," he said looking at Isabella. I loved it when he called her that. The nickname originated when we realised she had an obsession with playing 'peek-a-boo' with us. She loved it so much that every time we played it with her, I swore she laughed the entire roof off. But, the nickname also came from the fact that they both love to watch Monsters Inc together which, I'm not going to lie, was adorable. She just looked up at him blankly, not knowing what was going on.
"Is she ready to go?" I asked as I opened her drawers to start packing her bag.
"She is. She just needs her shoes," he said whilst looking around for them. Once he found them he placed each shoe on a very wriggly Isabella, she couldn't stay still when she's with Stefan.
After about five minutes of packing, I decided that we were ready to go. Stefan packed the boot with all of our bags whilst I strapped Isabella in.
"Ready to do this?" He asked as I shut the car the door. I turned towards him, his face looking nervous but excited.
I smiled and felt myself relax. "Yeah, I am. We've done it once before and I have no doubt that we can do it again." Hearing those words must have reassured him because a smile formed on his face."Plus, I have you. And when I have you, I can pretty much do anything," I admitted. Both of us had smiles on our faces at this point. Neither of us said anything, instead Stefan wrapped his arms around my waist, drawing us both into a loving kiss. It felt so good, the way his lips felt against mine, the way he would caress my hips, just simply everything. Everything felt so good. When we're together, everything just fell into place. After about a minute, we slowly pulled away for air, still enjoying the moment.
"I'll always be by your side," he said before I nodded.
"I know, and I'll always be here for you too," I said as I gave him a small kiss on the lips. After that, we both got into the car and Stefan started to drive.

Stefan's POV

It took us about two hours to get there and, of course, Isabella had fallen asleep. She was so cute when she stretched and yawned in her sleep. I've never seen a cuter baby than Isabella.
Elena took Isabella out of the car whilst I got our bags out of the boot. She carried her to the door, which was already open as Miranda was waiting at the threshold.
"We've missed you guys!" Miranda said excitedly.
"We've all missed you too, mum." Elena replied as Miranda brought her into a hug. I loved seeing Elena with her family, it just showed how much support she had. She had the best family, which I was extremely grateful for because I only wanted the best for her.
"Come on in," Miranda said, gesturing us inside. As we walked into the house Elena's dad poked his head around the door frame that separated the kitchen from the living room.
A smile played at the corner of his lips. "Elena?" He questioned as he walked in, his smile erupting on his face.
"Hey dad," she replied, with the same smile on her face.
"I missed you," he said as he swept Elena into a hug, along with Isabella.
"I missed you too," Elena replied as they drew out of the hug.
"It's nice to see you too, Stefan," he said to me. We both politely shook hands as Elena went to place Isabella on the sofa.
"How long has she been asleep for?" Miranda turned to ask me.
"For the entire car ride, so about two hours," I replied.
"So you two must've had a peaceful journey then," Miranda said as she gestured us both into the kitchen.
"Yeah, it was nice. But Isabella is normally quite quiet anyway," Elena said as she came to my side. We were both stood at one side of the island with her parents on the opposite side.
"She's such a quiet little girl, you never used to be, Elena." Grayson joked. We all started to laugh as Miranda started to walk towards the kettle.
"I wasn't really loud," Elena defended. I laid my arm around her shoulder as Miranda started to speak.
"Do you guys want a cup of tea?" She asked whilst filling up the kettle. We both accepted the offer as we continued to talk for a few more minutes.
Once Miranda was done, we both politely took our tea. Elena gave me a quick glance, indicating the time had come. From that moment on, I felt like a nervous wreck. I knew her family were the most supportive people you could ever find but I couldn't stop the nerves building inside me.
Elena wrapped her hands around her cup, subtly looked down for a few seconds before lifting her head to face them.
"Mum, Dad. We need to tell you something," she spoke confidently but had some nervousness in her voice.
"Oh my god, are you pregnant?" Miranda blurted out quickly and, surprisingly, accurately. I heard Elena let out a breath before looking at me. We both had the same expression on our faces. Shock.
"How did you know?" Elena asked cautiously.
"I didn't, I just guessed. But, is it true? Are you-?" She asked as she put her hands over her mouth in pure delight. We both smiled and nodded our heads.
"Aw, that's so great! I'm so happy for you guys!" Miranda said.
"We're going to have a second grandchild. Wow, you two are sure making us look old." Grayson joked, making us all laugh.
After we had finished laughing, Miranda and Grayson brought us both into a hug. Everyone was happy. Hearing Miranda say how happy she was for us, and seeing Grayson look excited, was just amazing. For the second time, I was so relieved and happy about how everything went down with Elena's parents.

Elena's POV

I was so happy that my parents were okay with Stefan and I having another baby. They've always been supportive and I knew they would, but I couldn't help but feel this sense of relief. I was relieved that my parents were over the moon for us, despite me being so young.
"How are you guys doing with your finances? I mean, you've raised a child on your own and I just wanted to know if you were financially ready for another," my mum asked. I could see why she was worried to ask since I was still in education and without a job.
"Right now, we're stable. We're using our savings that we've collected over the years, but we know it won't last forever. So, Stefan is going for a job at a lawyer agency, so that'll bring in money. And, when I've had this baby and they're a year old, I want to start looking for a job in the local secondary school as a teacher," I explained. My mum and dad actually looked a little shocked at the answer I had just given.
"Wow, I'm surprised. You two have clearly thought about all of this, and are both very responsible," my mum said confidently.
"Well we're not kids anymore," I joked. It was no longer all fun and games, we've both got a child that depends on us. Now we have another one on the way, who will also depend on us and will need our support and guidance.
My dad's head perked up. "So you want to be a lawyer, Stefan?" My dad has always been fascinated with the subject of Law.
"Yeah, it's always been something that I've wanted to do. Plus, I've passed a course in Law so I didn't want to miss the chance," he replied, with the same enthusiasm as my dad.
Whilst they were talking, my mum and I decided to talk.
"So, being a mother of two. How does that make you feel?" She asked, with a massive smile on her face.
"Really excited. It's scary but honestly, I'm just so happy that it's happening and that we've been given this opportunity," I explained.
"It is scary but you both are very responsible and clearly know what you're doing. You raised Isabella without our help, which I'm very proud of you for." She placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you, I just wanted to be as good a mother as you are to me," I said. I saw her mouth curl into a smile before she drew me into a hug. After a cheery hug, we pulled away and I noticed Stefan and my dad were gone.
"Where have they gone?" I asked my mum, confused by their disappearance.
"Probably doing the whole fatherly talk.  Your dad wanted to have the talk with Stefan because we haven't seen you since your engagement party, so he's probably gone to deliver his little speech," she explained with a laugh. I nodded my head in understanding whilst thinking about the possible things my dad could be saying to Stefan.
"So, are you guys going to be postponing the wedding?" My mum asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Well we're not sure. We were planning on getting married after I've finished uni, but now I think we might be planning to get married after I've had the baby. But, I don't know and nothing's set in stone yet," I replied.
"So basically when you're about 21/22, let's say, you'll be married and will have two kids. Wow... That's scary," she said. I couldn't help but laugh a little at her reaction.
"It is scary. I am young but I know this is what I want," I reassured her. She smiled and softly nodded her head before replying.
"I know, and I trust that you're making the right decision. I think that you're going to be very happy with each other," she smiled, clearly reassured herself.
"Thank you, mum." I replied just before we heard Isabella whimper.
"She's awake," my mum stated.
"She's also going to be wondering where her daddy is." I quickly replied before I went to calm her down. She was still lying down but she was rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Someone's still tired," I said as I gently picked her up, cradled her against my body and carried her into my mum. Even though she was getting older, she was never too old to be cradled in my arms. She would forever be our little baby girl.
"Hi sweetie," my mum cooed her. I passed Isabella over to my mum and watched them both. My mum was amazing with Isabella and I knew for a fact that she loved her granddaughter more than anything.
"I'm just going to go and get her beaker," I said before I left the room. I knelt down and went into Isabella's bag to grab her pink beaker which already had juice in it. Just as I stood up, Stefan and my dad came down the stairs, both of them looking happy with themselves. My dad walked into the kitchen whilst Stefan stayed behind with me.
"What did my dad say to you?" I whispered, so that my parents wouldn't hear.
"I'll tell you later. It was nothing I didn't already know," he whispered back as he took my hand and led me into the kitchen.
We spent the next few hours catching up on the months we've spent apart.
