Damon's POV

Elena sits down in front of me on the balcony and she leans back against my chest with my arms around her. We've been on our honey moon almost 2 weeks now and we are getting ready to head to the airport to go home.

"I can't believe we are going home and in 3 weeks, our baby will be here." Elena says and I kiss the top of her head.

"These past few months just flew by. But seemed like forever." I tell her and she nods in agreement.

"I kind of just want to keep the baby inside me for awhile longer. I'm going to miss the kicks and the movements. And you always kissing my belly." She runs her hand up and through my hair.

"I can still do that even after its born." I smirk and she turns to face me. She wraps her legs around me and leans in to kiss me.

"We could have more babies too." She smirks.

"That we could." I kiss her nose. We enjoy our last few minutes on the balcony before heading to the airport.

Elena's POV

"I have to go pee again." I whisper to Damon and he laughs. I've been to the bathroom 2 times already since we took off, one hour ago.

"You need me to go with you this time?" He asks and I shake my head no. He nods and stands up to help me up from my seat. As I stand, I feel a sharp pain and catch my breath.

"You okay babe?" Damon squeezes my hand and I open my eyes.

"Yeah just uncomfortable from sitting for so long I guess." I tell him. He kisses my temple and let's go of my hands as I head towards the bathroom. A lady smiles at me as I pass her and I reach the bathroom. A flight attendant smiles and goes back to making a cocktail. I never enjoy using the bathrooms on planes, they're small enough as it is, and having a huge belly doesn't help.

I lock the door and turn around to face the mirror just as I feel something wet run down my legs.

I did not just pee on myself..I look down.

"Oh no. No. No. No." I start to panic.

"This can't be happening." I say and grab a few paper towels to clean the floor and my legs. The flight attendant must have heard me, she's knocking on the door now.

"Is everything fine in there ma'am?" She asks. I take a deep breath and open the door. She steps back and I assume she sees the panic in my eyes.

"Are you okay?" She asks again.

"I think my water just broke." I tell her. Damon is walking down the aisle towards us when I look for him.

"Elena? What's wrong?" He asks. I grab his hand and pull him in front of me.

"My water broke, Damon." I say as calmly as I can. He looks down at my belly then over at the flight attendant.

"I'll notify the pilot. Please have a seat at your seats and I'll get back as soon as I find out something. How far along are you?" She asks me.

"I'm due in 2 weeks." I tell her and she nods. She heads off to the pilot and Damon leads me back to our seats. I sit down and he kisses my head.

"It's going to be okay, they will figure something out." He runs his hand down my arm and I nod. His hand brushes over mine and I lock my fingers with his.

"Damon, I'm scared." I let him know. He nods and kisses me.

"I know. But be we need to be brave. Remember in our child birth class, the baby needs to be born in a calm environment. Don't be scared. We will get help." He says and I smile. He always knows the right thing to say.
