What's wrong with me? (TVD fanfic)

Thomas Alaric

"Mommy? Mommy wake up!" Lia's sweet voice woke me up for my slumber, my little princess lay by my side. Her little hands holding mine, oh how sweet she is. My angel. As I looked around the unfamiliar room I realised where I was. Hospital. Fabulous.

The heart rate monitor was beeping like crazy, I knew that sound all too well. Clearly my little fainting episode was more serious than I thought. It wasn't long until Damon made his presence in the room known. He got up from the chair across the room and stood by my side stroking my cheek with the back of his hand.

"Wh-What happened Damon?" My words wouldn't come out properly, this isn't good. I feel weak, very weak.

"You collapsed, we brought you to hospital because no one knew what to do including myself." His eyes were inflamed, obviously he'd been crying but why? "They, Well they thought you wouldn't make it. This time it wasn't like the others, you didn't faint and go dig a hole somewhere, you changed. You turned. I'm surprised you don't recall. You literally grew a tail, a fin whatever you call it but it was there. Your legs were gone. I thought you'd died, you had no heartbeat neither did the baby. I thought you were both dead." Tears began to fall down my face and my breathing became shallow.

"How's the baby now?!" panic hit me like a ton of bricks.

"She's fine, healthy, growing quickly. I spoke to Mer about that and I have a little bit of news." The panic disappeared and I let the excitement take over, I could tell by the smile on his face that this would be good news.

"Firstly, she's almost fully grown! Only a month to wait hopefully! Secondly, you probably guessed but WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!" My face lit up, another princess. "And finally guess who's got a nephew? Us." Elena had her baby.

I jumped to my feet as fast as I could and pulled the robe lying on the chair over me, pushed my feet into the slippers that were located right next to my bed and grabbed Lia in my arms. My legs were still shaky and I wasn't completely sure that I could walk on them but I had to at least try. I missed my nephew's birth I need to at least go and see him. Damon supported me by letting me lean on him as he led me to Elena's room.

Stefan opened the door and embraced me, tears stained my robe and as he pulled away he kissed Lia's forehead. I expected him to shake Damon's hand or something, but no he submerged Damon in a bear hug. We congratulated him on his first child. Elena lay in her bed with what looked like a bundle of blankets pressed to her chest. Slowly I walked closer and closer until I was right by her side. Her voice was strained and clearly she'd had a long labour judging by how tired she looked.

"I'm glad you're better Elle I missed you!" I smiled and told her I missed her too, my eyes quickly shifter to the sleeping baby lying in her fragile arms. He was the image of Stefan. The strong jaw, light brown hair. He even had the same eye brow shape! Though the minute his sweet eyes opened I noticed what he had inherited from his mother. Her dark chocolate eyes had been copied and given to her son, the hope, love and kindness had been passed down to this child. I don't think I could be a prouder sister or aunt right now.

"So what did you decide to name my little nephew then?" I prayed in my head that they'd named him something that I wouldn't be embarrassed to shout.

Stefan spoke up "We decided to call him Thomas. Thomas Alaric. Damon told us you guys were having a girl and we knew how much it would mean to you both if we included Alaric's name in there."

My heart melted a little bit, my sweet nephew had a name which matches just how perfect he is. I can only hope that my little one matches his cuteness. Something tells me she'll be the image of Damon, when I think of her I picture a small girl a lot like Emelia. Long jet black hair like Damon's, large ice blue eyes, and a tiny button nose. I can't imagine her looking anything like me. At least Lia inherited my skin tone and eye colour. I doubt this little one will get that, I'm thinking she'll be almost as pale as Damon god help her if she is. We all know how much girls hate being pale, I hope she doesn't adopt the whole fake tan thing when she becomes a teenager.

Thomas' cry echoed through the halls, clearly someone's hungry! Then again aren't all babies' hungry all the time? Lia ate and ate until she couldn't move anymore! My eye's quickly shifted to the bottle of warm milk Elena had grabbed from the side, why wasn't she using blood? Thomas had grown far too quickly to be a human, he had to be a vampire! Elena noticed the confused look plastered on to my face and out came the long ass explanation.

"I can tell you're confused about the whole milk thing! I mean well, I was too until Meredith came and gave us the news about his genetics ad how things would work. Thomas is human. Not completely. See I figured we had some kinda hybrid baby on our hands here but Meredith told us otherwise. The reason behind his fast growth is that he did inherit some of Stefan's vampire gene, he does have a mixture of both human and vampire blood but not nearly enough to be classed as a hybrid. He literally has the best of both worlds, he can heal just as fast as his Daddy but he will grow like a human. Meredith said to expect him to grow quickly at first just while the gene settles down, it's in overdrive right now but she said that he won't age quickly like Lia did. We'll have a little baby just as long as normal humans would" Elena seems pleased, then again I would be if I'd just found out that my child can't die. What a lucky kid!

My attention turns back to Damon and he reaches for my hand, without hesistation I intertwine our fingers and gently squeeze his fingers. After awhile we decided to head on out back to my hospital room so we could pack things up, Mer told us it would be better if we stayed overnight again ,but hoestly I Just want to be home right now. I need time to recooperate and what better place to do that than at the Boarding house with my Fiance and Daughter?
