Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 36

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Warning smutty chapter ahead.

Damon had been sat in the grill with Stefan drinking coffee as Elena couldn't bear to be near him if he'd had alcohol, when he'd received the text from Meredith to say she'd seen Elena and he was fine to return as she be leaving the boarding house soon. Without a word to Stefan, Damon put his coffee down and walked out of the Grill, got straight into his car and drove straight to the boarding house, never seemingly dropping below eighty, until he got there, which took less than ten minutes. He rushed inside and listened out for the psycho doctor's voice, and immediately discovered she was in the kitchen with Witchy.

"That was quick." Meredith said, sounding a little surprised as he appeared after he vamp-sped straight over to talk to her.

"How is she?" Damon asked panicking. "You know what's wrong with her?" Meredith smiled back at him and nodded.

"It's nothing life threatening." Meredith assured him shaking her head. "Go up and see her. I'll let her tell you." she added as she checked her phone. "Well I need to get going. Elena has pretty much everything she needs right now." she said, drinking down a cup of coffee in one, before getting up to leave.

"Thanks doc." Damon said quickly, not really paying attention, before he vamp-sped out of the kitchen and up to his bedroom to see Elena sat up in bed, her eyes wide with shock and slightly red-rimmed from what Damon could only assume was tears from crying. Confused, Damon sat on the bed beside Elena and took her hand, circling the back of it with his thumb to soothe her.

They sat like that for a few minutes whilst Damon waited for Elena to let him know what Meredith had told her. However when Elena didn't say anything, Damon knew he would have to be the one to break the silence. "Meredith says it's nothing life threatening." he offered gently, hoping that wouldn't cause her to cry. Elena looked up at Damon as she tried to smile, but he could see tears were there, ready to fall. "What is it?" he asked, beginning to worry. "What's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant!" Elena said.

"What?!" Damon asked confused.

"Meredith thinks I'm pregnant." Elena shrugged.

"That's impossible." Damon frowned. "Vampires can't procreate." he insisted as Elena raised an eyebrow. "So..." he said slowly. "Meredith thinks you're pregnant, but obviously she can't prove it." Damon shook his head in disbelief.

"The symptoms fit." Elena told him. "And I took a pregnancy test which came back positive." she admitted.

"That doesn't mean anything." Damon disagreed. "Human medical tests don't work on vampires, I could take a pregnancy test and it would come back positive." he joked.

"I think she's right." Elena put her hand on top of Damon's to soothe him as she could see he was on edge. "But we need to talk to Bonnie, we need to know exactly what that elixir was designed to do." she insisted, which seemed to snap Damon out of his denial.

"The elixir?" Damon asked as Elena nodded. "She thinks the elixir may have something to do with it." he added as Elena nodded again.

"She suspects it may have given us a window of fertility." Elena told him.

"What for?" Damon frowned.

"To stop the bloodlines." Elena replied. "We need Bonnie and the book." she told him as she tried to get up to get out of bed, but Damon stopped her.
