The Baby of my Boyfriend's Brother (The Vampire Diaries Fan Fiction)

Safe & Sound

"What is so comical about that? You faked your own death and became Klaus's minion." Elena said looping a finger in her jeans belt loop.

Scarlet smiled. "The fact that I faked my death was comical."

Elena raised an eyebrow. "I don't see the logic in that."

Scarlet sighed and placed a hand on Elena's shoulder. "I had to get away. Unlike a normal person they would come up with some excuse and leave, but no, I faked my own death."

Katherine rolled her eyes. "Elena's a little slow"

Elena turned her gaze to Katherine. "I just don't see the humor in hurting people you love."

Scarlet looked Elena in the eye. "You will once you become a vampire. It runs in the Petrova blood."

Katherine smiled. "Yes. Yes it does. You can thank me for that."

Elena laughed. "I don't think I want to be a vampire."

Scarlet looked at Elena with pity. "So you want to grow old and watch Damon stay this sexy thing forever?"

Elena looked down at the floor. Well as much as she could considering her stomach was still going back to it's regular size. "I might want to in a few years, but not right now."

Scarlet smiled. "That's the spirit."

Elena's head shot up when she remembered something. "You had a daughter correct?"

Scarlet merely nodded.

"What happened to her?" Elena asked.

Scarlet's eyes drooped. "She died when she was forty. She got pneumonia and died."

Elena saw a tear fall down Scarlet's flawless face. "I am so sorry."

"She died before I met got to meet my mom." Scarlet said brushing away the tear.

Elena, being the kind and compassionate girl she is, hugged Scarlet soothingly. "When did you meet Katherine?"

Scarlet broke away from the hug. "1864."

Elena sat in the parlor with Amberlynn sleeping soundly in the swing in the corner. She couldn't help but think back to her talk with Katherine and Scarlet. She couldn't imagine what it must have been like not knowing who your mother was for hundreds of years. Also, having to rely on Klaus to bring you to your mother must have been Hell on ice.

Elena noticed a difference when Katherine was by herself and when she was with Scarlet. By herself she was a royal bitch, but with Scarlet she is this kind hearted woman who can love. It was really weird seeing the famous Katherine who had a heart of stone be this soft woman.

Amberlynn stirred slightly and whimpered. Just wait. she just fell asleep. Amber fell back to sleep and Elena let out a pent up breath. The front door slammed closed and Elena cringed, just waiting for Amberlynn to wake up. Sure enough Amberlynn started wailing. Elena sighed and softly picked her up.

"Did I wake her?" A soft voice came from the doorway of the parlor.

"No, she just felt like screaming." Elena snapped back turning to look as Scarlet.

Scarlet raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry. No need to be cranky."

Elena sighed and grabbed Amber's binky off of the coffee table and put it in her mouth. "You're fine. I just haven't slept in two days."

Scarlet smiled. "I remember those days. I don't miss them."

Elena shot Scarlet the death stare. "Wanna take her?"

Scarlet smiled. "Sure."

Elena handed Scarlet Amber and instantly her face softened. "She isn't going to be a doppelganger."

"How do you know?" Elena asked, warmth slowly filling her.

"Look at her eyes." Elena looked and they were the color of Damon's hazel eyes. "She doesn't have your eyes. Therefore she can't be a doppelganger."

Elena raised an eyebrow. "Just because of her eyes?"

Scarlet nodded and sat down on the sofa. "She has to look exactly like us for her to be a doppelganger. If she even takes after someone else and itsn't the spitting image of us then, poof, she is safe."

Elena let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Thank God."

Scarlet smiled and rocked Amber softly. "Klaus taught me that one."

Elena let out a tiny smile. "At least he did something right."

Damon walked into the room and saw Scarlet. His eyes bulged out and he quickly took Amberlynn away from her arms.

"What the hell is Katherine doing with Amber?" Damon growled looking at Elena.

Elena pursed her lips. "Be nice. And this isn't Katherine."

Damon scoffed. "Then who is it?"

Scarlet stood up and stretched her hand out. "I'm Scarlet. Katherine's daughter. It's a pleasure meeting you."
