Endless Souls

Lost and Found

The doorbell rang so I headed to answer it.

"Ember Fell?"

"Yes."

"We found your daughter."

"Oh my god! She isn't in any sort of trouble is she?"

"No ma'am she isn't. We heard she ran away and some Sacremento police spotted her and called the Mystic Falls department."

"Thank you so much for your help."

"Of course Mrs. Fell."

"Is she in the car?"

"Yes." My heels click against the steps of the house as I run down them. I pull the car door open and I pull her into my arms.

"Elizabeth. My baby you're home." She tugs me closer and I kiss her forehead.

"Come on lets go inside."

"Okay." I hold her to my side and she sits on the couch while I go in the kitchen.

"Damian."

"Was there any news?"

"Better." I go back in the living room and I sit down with Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth!" We smash her in a sandwich and we stay like that for a while. Elizabeth falls asleep and I smile down at her. Who knew I could be a real mother? I was terrified when I got pregnant with her- on a plane of all places. Barely 16, without a boyfriend and feeling completely and utterly alone. Damian got me pregnant. 3 times. Was this meant to happen? Were we meant to be?

I look up at Damian, then I get up. I go into the kitchen and I finish dinner. Damian comes behind me, gently brushes the hair from my neck and nuzzles it, his lips soft but wanting.

"It was so romantic."

"What?" I give him a sly smile.

"Ah, the very first time for both of us."

Paris, 19 years ago

We fall backwards on the couch, our hands tangled in each other's hair, shirts off. My skin feels like fire coming into contact with his. I pull him upstairs and we find my room.

"Ember... Are you sure?"

"I love you Damian. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm ready."  He smiles at me, then I smash my lips to his. He makes us both fall back on the bed and his lips find mine again. I pull up the covers and we crawl under them. I stare up at Damian with every little bit of love I can muster.

"I love you so much Ember Rose Salvatore."

"I love you more Damian Patrick Fell." He kisses me gently and I intensify the kiss.

My parents walk in and we both turn around.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad."

"Hey. So what did you two do while we were out?"

"We watched a couple movies. Nothing special." She smiles at us and I lean my head against Damian's, both of us happy, in love.

End of Flashback

I smile up at Damian.

"That was romantic. Were you ready?"

"I was. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened." He smiles and pulls me in for a kiss.

"Mom! Dad!" They come into the kitchen and I tug Damian close to me.

"We have news."

"Is she home?" We nod and they run into the living room.

"Elizabeth, we have a surprise for you."

"What is it?"

"We're all going to Paris. Just me, you, your brother, and your father." She squeals and runs upstairs to start packing.

"Ember, Damian." We sit down and suddenly a sharp pain comes from my 9 month bump.

"Damian."

"Ember what is it?"

"The baby's coming."
