"Elena, you have to tell someone. You have to tell dad. You two can't keep this to yourselves forever." Jeremy stated, still unable to believe that his sister was pregnant. It was a tough pill to swallow and he wasn't quite sure what to think about it.

"I can't tell dad, at least not until mom gets home from her getaway. I need mom to buffer it, we both know she will be the reasonable one in the situation." Elena insisted.

"You have to tell dad. You just have to Lena. He's a doctor, he can help you." Jeremy implored.

"Why? Why can't I wait? You have no idea how scary the idea is." Elena pleaded pacing back and forth across the floor of her bedroom.

"Just trust me Lena. I'm sure dad will be more understanding than you think." Jeremy promised.

"You can't promise me that Jer. You don't know how he'd react." Elena whispered.

"He's a doctor Lena. He sees so many pregnant teens as it is. He probably won't bat an eye, I'm sure of it. You've been dating the same guy for over a year, I'm sure he knows the two of you have slept together more than once. I don't think it'll really affect him." Jeremy tried.

"But there's a difference Jer, he's my father. I'm his daughter, it won't be like it is for all those other teens he sees." Elena whispered.

"Please Lena, I can't keep this secret. He'll see that something is bothering me and he won't give up until I tell him what it

is. It's better that you tell him." Jeremy explained.

"Your brother might be right Lena. What if someone at school finds out and it gets back to your dad." Damon asked her standing up and walking over to where she was standing with her arms wrapped around herself.

"I know you guys are right, I'm not petrified at telling him." Elena admitted.

"Hey, I'm here. I'll help you through it. What's the worst thing that can happen?" He asked her.

"My dad could kick me out and disown me." Elena told him.

"Well then you come live with me. My dad won't care." Damon told her.

"Besides I can't see it coming to that. But we should get downstairs, dad sent me up here to grab you guys a long time ago." Jeremy told them. Elena sucked in a deep breath before nodding her head.

"Just try to act natural. You're not confessing to a murder here." Damon told her placing his hand on her back.

"That's easy for you to say." Elena whispered as they all left her room and walked downstairs together.

"Just remember that I have your back too Lena." Jeremy told her as they walked into the dining room where Grayson was waiting.

"This is delicious daddy." Elena said as she ate another bite of the amazing dinner her father had made them.

"Thank you sweetheart. So what are your plans this evening?" He asked making conversation with his family.

"I don't have plans tonight. I'm thinking just staying home and playing xbox sounds fun." Jeremy called out.

"I don't have plans either yet tonight. Daddy I really have to talk to you." Elena said steadying her breath. The last thing she needed was to start hyperventilating.

"I noticed something was bothering you. You're awfully quiet tonight. What's on your mind? Is everything okay?" Grayson asked worried about his daughter. In a show of solidarity Damon took Elena's hand and held it under the table.
