____________________________________________________________________________

Elena's POV

The whole ride home was a very awkward and silent for the most part, I was still at awe as to how I could be pregnant. As to the fact me and Stefan were vampires and again, Stefan had been dead for almost a year.  So many emotions had gone through my head as I knew I was going to have to make a choice. Damon or Stefan, and I had a feeling I knew what the answer would be even if it wasn't exactly want my heart wanted but my brain says it's probably for the best right now. But as of now I'm still confused on how Stefan is even alive right now and how to see he's very excited over the events that just happened. And now I can only imagine what is running through Damon's mind right now, he probably hates me and wants nothing to do with me. All I hope is that even if he is, I can't lose him.

Damon's POV

I could only imagine what Elena was thinking about. I'm not going to lie to her I was just a little upset to see my brother, to think I had her all to myself. I wasn't ready for all the changes to start happening , I knew Elena would chose him. She'd missed him and with a baby on the way things would be much easier. I just know I won't leave her side no matter what, shes gonna need support and I want to be there to provide it for her. I've known her for too long to just up and leave her.

Elena's POV

We finally made it back to the boarding house, we all 3 walked in, in silence.

"So Elena, plan is to get some rest and in the morning I'll have you call Caroline over so we can discuss the miscarriage and discuss my return," Stefan explained.

I was kinda upset I couldn't find out tonight, but we'd gotten home late driving all the way from Atlanta.

"Okay, Well I'm gonna head up to bed. I'll see you both in the morning," I exclaimed very tiredly,  then head for the big stair case.

Finally my head reaches the pillow as a close my eyes to recap the crazy day I had as it all comes back to Damon. Wondering what Damon has to say about what has happened, I was honestly scared I wished he could lay in here and comfort me through all this. Maybe I'll wake up next to Damon and it'll all be one big dream. Finally as my last thoughts of Damon drift away, my mind finally decided to shut down and I'd drifted off to sleep, until 3 am when I feel a slight brush of skin on my arm. I wasn't sure who, I thought maybe Stefan since we hadn't talked much and he's been gone for so long and I figured Damon was too mad to talk to me.

"Stefan?" I murmured guessing who.

"Mm Nope, try again," He said. I loved the sound of his voice, it was angelic.

"Damon?" I asked groggily.

"Mhm," He hummed as he slid under covers laying on his side so we where face to face to show he wanted to talk.

Even in the darkest of the night I could still see his pretty blue eyes glisten.

"I was hoping you weren't mad at me, I'm sorry. I had no clue about any of this, I didn't expect Stefan to just show up from the other  side or magical transfer babies. Especially at a time like this where I'm trying to figure out my feelings for you, and I'm honestly so scared for this whole big change, I don't want to lose you. Please don leave me Damon," I finished as a small tear slid down my face. 

There was a bit of moonlight showing through the window so the tear was noticeable, as it was soon met and wiped away by Damon's hand.

" Don't worry Lena, I'm not mad at all.. You have nothing to be sorry for, It's a miracle. A baby was something you always wanted, and you'd thought you'd lost that chance when you became a vampire. I'm proud of you Elena, And proud of who you're about to become. I know him and this baby kinda puts a damper in things but I want you to know that I understand if you chose Stef, he's the father of the child so it would all make sense. Not sure I could resist my normal flirting though, you're pretty irresistible.  But I will promise to be here in as many ways as I can for you and the baby and also, Stef. But I won't leave ever Lena, I'm too selfish to just leave you," He exclaimed. Suddenly he had made me feel so much better.

"I'm scared Damon, I really am. And at the moment, I can't make a choice of who," I sighed, another couple tears leave my eyes as I think of a little baby and whats best for he/she.

Damon wiped away the tears and then tightly grasped my hand, " I'm not leaving Elena, I won't let you go through this alone," he then kissed my forehead and then leaned over to lose my grasp and walk out til I tugged him to get back under covers.

"Please, just stay. I need this tonight," Then I gently kiss his lips as he puts his hand to my cheek to deepen the kiss. His kisses always made me feel like I was sane, for once I'd felt normal when he would kiss me. Then slowly I feel the bed lift as Damon sits up and slings his shirt off onto the ground then lays back down and snakes his arm over my torso and pulls me closer to him.

"I'm sorry for everything I've caused Lena, I know I'm not as good as Stefan but I'm trying to be the best I can be," He sighs. I felt very sorry to hear that, even after the past I couldn't ever stop loving him.

"Shh, Damon don't put yourself down. I know it was a very rocky past, but I left it behind. And through everything you've been that one person I've noticed that has stayed by my side through everything. You let me, be me like the whole cure situation. Everyone was bound to fix me because I wasn't in love with Stefan but instead had feelings for you. It made me feel terrible like I was a broken toy," I blabbed on exhaling a deep breath. 

Damon sighs, "Elena, I will always be here. We've been through hell and back together, and you're one person I wouldn't mind spending eternities with. You were never broken, being a vampire comes with heightened feelings," he takes a huge breath and continues, "It intensifies them, you'd had to have had feelings for me before you turned because even after a broken sire bond and leaving for a year you still have the same feelings. You were never broken Elena, people just don't like to except the fact that you like me because you're the person to see the good in someone as terrible as me. I'm very toxic, I couldn't care for many people but I sure as hell care for you. I love you just the way you are, I don't want you to change for anyone ever. Not even Stef or me, I love you always," Leaving a kiss on my cheek as he gently closed his eyes slurring "always" as a deep slumber takes him.

"I love you always, Damon," I happily say turning in the tight grip of his arm he had around my body laying us both sideways so I could give him a quick goodnight kiss.
