Chapter 30

Harry P.O.V.

Silent emptiness surrounded him as he sat there on the couch next to the fireplace. Nobody said a word for three hours. Meanwhile, the evening had arrived and covered the country with its eerie darkness.
              The moon was now low in the night sky – he wasn't full – but still impressive.

Harry knew that Caroline, Damon and Stefan were listening to what happened some rooms away and he wished that he could do that as well. Again and again he saw the images in front of him, as Lisa collapsed into Jo's arms and as Elena, which was closest to them rushed to them, which needed less than two seconds, helping her to hold Lisa.

Everything had happened so fast, Stefan and Jeremy had done everything what was necessary, while Harry was prevented from helping. Bonnie had run behind the three, who hurried through the corridor and since then – they disappeared.

"Jo knows what to do.", Stefan breathed, what made Harry looking up from the table straight into his eyes. "We can trust her."

"She knows what to do.", Harry nodded whispering. "I hope she knows."

"She's a doctor and a witch.", Caroline took a deep breath. "If she can't help nobody can."

"Beside Bonnie is with her as well.", Jeremy interjected. "We don't need to worry."

"We need to worry about what's wrong with Lisa.", Damon sipped his drink. "Don't we?"

"Yes.", Harry stood up. "How long will it be?"

"We don't no.", Caroline gave him a worried gaze. "Spells and so on – need their time. Try to calm down, Lisa is in good hands."

Harry stroked his hair as he took as well a deep breath. One Moment later, the vampires under them raised their heads and looked to the entrance hall, were Bonnie soon appeared.

"We have a problem.", she pressed her lips together.

Lisa P.O.V.

Slowly I felt like I came back to me; as the familiar feeling of warmth slid back into my body and I breathed.
            It had felt like an eternity to be nowhere. Not be able to feel; not to be able to see anything.
But now I noticed the mattress under me and the woolly blanket over my legs, the soft pillow under my head and my hands immediately next to my body.

When I felt like something moved beside me, I slowly opened my eyes. A familiar scent enveloped me as I noticed the body heat of another. I looked to my left and smiled. It was all blurry, but I recognized Harry's hair and blinked a few times. Hoping to see a little more in the almost dark room than the cone of light near the door and on our bed, which seemed to be a candle.

As I finally realized more, I sighed and put one hand over my stomach. Again Harry moved, he muttered unintelligible words; causing me worry.

"Harry ?", I whispered as he moved closer to me.

Finally he was so close beside me that he only raised his head and put it on my chest, snuggled up to me and covered my belly with one of his hands and was finally quiet. His hand was no on top of mine. Stroking his hair with my free hand I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

It was so cute.

But during my deep breath, he woke up and raised abruptly his head looking sleepy in my direction.

"Lise?", he murmured. "Are you awake?"

"Yes.", I whispered, smiling.

"Did I wake you? I – I'm sorry ... What am I doing here?", he propped one elbow beside me on the bed and lifted his torso.

"You didn't wake me up.", I shook my head. "I was already awake. Did you have a bad dream?"

"I dreamed of you and the baby. But mostly you.", he said slowly, his fatigue was gone.

"Oh.", I didn't know what to say. "Then I suppose it had something to do with yesterday?"

"We need to talk.", he covered my hand, which still rested on my belly and pressed it lightly.

"That doesn't sound good."

"Jo has discovered why you often have pain.", he began, after which I sat a little more up and didn't let him out of sight.

"Please don't say, that ...", but I couldn't go on.

"All of these spells that Klaus has applied to check your state has weakened the baby.", he sat up. "Jo was surprised that it still has such a good heart beat. A little fighter."

I smiled slightly and looked from him to my stomach.

"But it also has weakened you. You're never came in contact with magic. And both thought that is has been strong spells and they don't know how much will follow."

"But it can neither kill the baby nor me, right?", I hesitated and looked back at him. "I mean, is this possible? What does Jo said?"

"She hasn't responded that."

"But it can't be excluded.", I breathed.

"We don't think of the worst.", he interjected immediately.

"But what if -"

"No!"

We looked at each other a while before I spoke again: "Was yesterday again used a spell to control me?"

He shook his head: "That must have been the effects of the previous days, but it is possible that you can feel when the baby isn't well."

"We can do it.", he leaned toward me.

"We have to.", I smiled weakly and put my lips on his.

We didn't sleep again. However, we get up as my morning sickness arrived. Again it was an ordeal, but whatever.

We got ready and left our two room as we met Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Caroline Bonne in the open living room.
