Damon called me everyday. It was 9 months later in March on a Tuesday when I saw him.
"Elena, you've got a 4:00." I turn around to see someone speaking quietly to a nurse. She points in my direction and Damon's eyes meet mine.
"Elena." I hear him whisper. I stand up. He slowly walks over to me and I look down. He pulls my head up, then my lips meet his. I don't want to pull away, though I've been angry at him since I first left. 9 months ago, when he wanted me to get an abortion. He haunted my dreams, the last time I saw his face. For the past 9 months he's been in my thoughts as I first felt the baby kick, and when it was shifting... I decided to let the gender be a surprise.
As our lips fit together over and over again, His fingers tangle in my brown hair as I tangle mine in his raven mane that has gotten longer- which I love. Mine is past the middle of my thigh, his reaching the bottom of his neck.
Over and over again we share the passion we've been hiding for 9 months until we finally pull back and I see the warmth that I missed in his eyes- the warmth I hadn't seen since long before I left. He strokes my cheek with his thumb, then I smile.
"Well hello to you too Damon."
"There is no way to tell you how sorry I am."
"Then don't. Where are the kids?"
"They're on their way." His hands migrate down to the bump that holds our baby.
"I love you more then the universe. You're my life. Elena Margaret Salvatore."
"You're my life. Damon Giuseppe Salvatore."
"I don't want to be apart from you. Ever. I couldn't live another day without you. My girl."
"I love you Mr. Salvatore."
"I love you Mrs. Salvatore. And I love our baby."
"Baby... BABY! Damien and Tori! Ember and Damian! I need to see them!"
"They're on their way. I promise."
"Elena, it's time."
"For what?" Damon looks at me questioningly.
"I have a c-section." Damon smiles.and I go.into the room.
After a while, I hear a baby's cry and a Dr. Pedowski comes in.
"Congratulations Mrs. Salvatore, you have a healthy baby boy. You can even take him home tonight."
"Thank you Dr. Pedowski." He carefully puts a blue bundle in my arms and I smile down at the little face in my arms. I'm able to get up, so I do. I go out in the hall and Damon stands.
"Who are you?" My doctor asks.
"Dr. Pedowski, this is my husband." He shakes his hand and I smile. Suddenly a bunch of people start running in.
"Dad what was so- Mom?" I see Damien and he smiles at me.
"Are you okay why are you here?"
"Okay. I want just our kids. Come over here." I sit down and they come over to me.
"I want you to meet your little brother. This is Jack."
"Is that why you were gone?"
"Yeah." They take turns holding him, and I wave the rest of them over and Damien comes over to me with a proud look on his face.
"Mom, I want you to meet our daughter, Hayden." I kiss his head as I look at the beautiful little raven haired girl. With her mom's deep blue eyes she looks up at me and I see a replica of Tori's smile.
"I'm so proud of you." He smiles up at me and Ember comes over to me.
"Do you want to meet ours?"
"So it worked out? It's Damian's baby?"
"Yup." She comes over to me and places a baby in my arms.
"That's Landon. Our son." I smile down at the little brunette, with his dad's blue eyes he looks up at me.
"He's so cute." I smile at her, then at Will who has a sad but equally proud smile on his face.
"Where's Ben?" Damon's smile fades and quickly turns to sadness, along with everyone else's.
"Damon. Where is my son?"
"It was the night we went camping. Will and Ben went off with Wendy to find firewood and we heard screams. I found Wendy and Will. But Ben... The Travelers found us and they killed him as a warning that we shouldn't do anything. They were showing us they were better." Ember says, tears forming quickly in her eyes.
"No. My son is not dead. He is not dead."
"I was the one who... Found him..." Will says sadly.
"He was lying on the ground but his heart was in a bush." I go over to him and I wrap him in my arms.
"I-I couldn't do anything Mommy he was gray and I was just sitting there screaming for help. Wendy finally came back with Dad and Ember and I just... Mommy I was so scared that they killed everyone else." Tears pour out of my eyes and Will buries his head in my hair. We cry the loudest and who can blame us? He lost his twin brother and I lost my son.
Once we finally contain our tears, I change back into my normal clothes and we head home.
I jump into bed and Damon follows.
"Turbulence! Oh no!" He plops on top of me and I laugh. He stares lovingly in my eyes and I stroke his cheek with my thumbs and he smiles at me.
"I love how long your hair has gotten." He smiles.
"I love how long your hair has gotten."
"I'm probably gonna get it cut tomorrow."
"Yeah it's pretty long." He brushes a strand out of my face.
"How are you doing?"
"The pain is still there but I've learned that it'll get easier. I just need to accept the good with the bad."
"That's my girl. So tough." I laugh and press a kiss to his lips.
"I'm so glad you're back."
"Me too."
"But there's still a problem."
"What?"
"Elizabeth. Travelers. Lion, witch,wardrobe. It's about to get started."
