It's Time To Wake Up, Elena

Chapter 26

Elena's POV (Time Jump)

Dear Diary,

It's been one crazy past year or two, I don't even know where to start. Damon took the cure, Damon proposed, we got married, I got pregnant, Stefan and Care are married, and so much more but lets just focus on the major stuff. I'm now 9 months pregnant with my due date only a week away. Damon I think is more excited that I am, there still feels like there's so much more to do, I don't know Damon just thinks this is the pre-mom stage of being pregnant where all you do is overthink and worry, he's probably right. Whatever. I kind of wonder what 18 year old Elena would think of my life right now, she'd probably think I'm insane for marrying Stefan's brother, and that we're gonna have a baby together and mentioning baby, Damon and I decided that we wanted to know what the gender was, and it's sitting in an envelope on the kitchen counter, we wanted to see how long we could without going insane wondering what the baby was, and we're gonna open it today. It hasn't hit me yet that Damon and I are going to have a baby any day now. Wow... this is just wow... I have to go.

"Damon?" I shout as I rush downstairs.

"Careful!" Damon takes my hand.

I chuckle, "Damon I'm pregnant, not paralyzed." I smiled. He smiles and laughs. "So are you ready to find out the gender, I can't wait any longer. And besides it's only like a week away so it's not that bad if we just find out now."

"Elena. You don't need to convince me. I'm already on board." He laughs as we walk to the kitchen where the letter is that we got months ago but never had the guts to open it, till now.

I pick it up, "Okay, no. You open it, I can't." I say.

Without hesitation Damon grabs the envelope and opens it slowly. His face goes blank, then a huge smile, bigger that the one I saw the day he saw me, appears on his face. He doesn't say a word and lunges into my arms and hugs me while he laughs hysterically.

"Damon! Tell me!" I demand as I laugh with him.

He smiles, without saying a word and continues laughing.

"Damon! You're driving me insane, tell me!" I laugh.

"Twins. All this time it was twins." He smiles once again.

My face goes blank, "Well now i know why the hell they sent us that letter without asking us if we wanted to know." I have this huge smile on my face and I run back into Damon's arms, he's still hold the letter as he wraps his arms around me. We stayed like that for what felt like hours. "I love you, Damon."

"I love you too, Elena. I love you..." He replies.
