Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 37

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).

Elena opened the refrigerator door to make a search to see if she could find any ice cream when she heard a knock at the front door.

"I'll get it." Damon called out as Elena heard him put the blood bags down on the table and open the front door. "OWWW!" she suddenly heard Damon call out, followed by a thud and a clatter of something being broken. Elena rushed into the parlor to see Damon sprawled on the floor looking up at his assailant. "What was that for?" he asked, rubbing his jaw.

"For getting Elena pregnant, and for being a dick!" Ric replied before looking up at Elena, who was staring at him in shock. "Hello Elena." he grinned.

"Ric?" Elena looked at her former guardian and history teacher with a mixture of joy, trepidation and fear. "Are you Ric or Evil Alaric?" she asked frowning, her hands feeling around for anything she could use as a weapon to slow him down should the answer not be the one she was looking for.

"I'm still a vampire." Ric complained. "But I don't want to rid the world of vampires." he smiled. "Although getting rid of this one here..." Ric pointed to Damon who was getting up from the floor. "...might make the world a better place."

"Don't hurt him!" Elena rushed over and stood protectively in front of Damon and folded her arms.

"Um...Elena..." Damon frowned, tapping her on the shoulder as Ric burst into hysterical laughter, prompting Elena to look at him confused and turn to Damon who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh man..." Ric complained. "I need a drink." he sighed.

"And he's back." Damon grinned. "Good to see you again buddy." he said patting Ric on the shoulder as he wandered over to the wet bar to pour his friend a drink, whilst Elena backed away and sat on the opposite couch, scrunching up her nose as Ric frowned.

"What's wrong?" he asked as Elena pulled a face of disgust.

"The smell of alcohol makes her feel sick." Damon sighed as he poured one glass and handed it to Ric before walking over to the and sitting down next to Elena, notably without a drink.

"Hahaha..." Ric laughed. "Sucks to be you buddy." he said draining his glass. "Although I could do with something a little..."

"Bloodier?" Damon asked as Ric nodded. "Well you're in luck, we were just about to fix Elena a little...snack." he said as Damon grimaced at what he remembered they were going to make. "I'll get some more blood bags." Damon announced getting up and placing a chaste kiss on Elena's forehead before heading towards the basement.

"So...Damon huh?" Ric asked as Elena nodded back shyly, suddenly realizing that she was only wearing Damon's boxer briefs and his t-shirt, whilst Damon was shirtless, practically shouting to the rafters what they'd both been doing. "How did that happen?" Ric asked. "I thought you were going back to Stefan." he frowned.

"I was." Elena sighed. "But Rebekah ran Matt and me off Wickery Bridge and I became a vampire." Elena shrugged. "How did you know I was pregnant?" she asked.

"I bumped into Meredith on my way here and compelled her to tell me if she knew where you were." Ric shrugged. "She let it slip you were expecting Damon's baby." he frowned. "So going over to the dark side made you fall in love with Damon?" Ric asked confused.

Elena shook her head. "No. I was already in love with him." she told him.

"Then why did you pick Stefan?" Ric asked.
