Our Future

chapter 6

Stefan's POV
    I hold Elena in my arms as she cries into my shoulder. A piece of me crumbles at her soft cry's. I've always hated to see her upset and with tears in her eyes because I do everything I can to protect her from being hurt emotionally and physically, but something usually tends to break through. After about three minutes of standing there holding her in my arms, I guide us to the couch and place my left hand in between her neck and cheek.

Stefan:"Hey what's wrong?"

I ask her. My voice just above a whisper as to not to scare her in her fragile state. She opens her mouth and tries to for words, but all that comes from her are small broken whimpers. I bring my left hand down to her side, but I feel her pull her hand away. I look down at it and see that she's tightly holding onto something white resembling a stick. I looked a little closer at her hand, and I had a good idea of what it was.

Stefan:"Lena is that....."

Elena:"Stefan I'm pregnant."

In that moment I froze. This couldn't be possible. I didn't understand how this was happening, but it didn't matter because I knew that this could possibly be one of the best moments in my existence. Without saying anything I looked into Elena's beautiful brown eyes that were full of a mixture of emotions. She seemed scared, nervous, and I like to think a little bit of happiness. I placed a long loving kiss on her lips. I pulled away from her slightly and placed my forehead on to hers.

Elena:"What are we going to do? I mean I'm seventeen, still in school, but this is.."

Stefan:"I know, I know. Listen if you don't want to keep the baby that's your choice, but Elena this has never happened before, and I don't want to say anything to persuade you into keeping the baby. But I have always been able to picture my future with you. Do you want to know what I pictured our future to be?"

She slightly nodded as her tears calmed down, and all I heard were soft sniffling sounds.

Stefan:"In the future that I pictured we got married, bought a house, and even adopted a beautiful little baby. I know that your future has always included kids, but I have always feared that future would be effected because I wouldn't be able to give you a baby. But now right here this could be our future."

I gently run the back of my hand on her stomach trough her shirt, and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Stefan:"I love you so much, and I don't want to be the only reason you keep the baby, but I also know that this is an opportunity for us one that we never knew was possible."

Elena:"You're right. I mean maybe this isn't prefect timing but I want this. I want our baby to be here with us because he or she is just a little living miracle that I want both of us to love and cherish."

A smile grew onto her face, and I smiled along with her while leaning in to kiss her. Once we pulled away from our intimate kiss Elena let out a small breath.

Elena:"I think it's time to tell Jenna. I mean of course about the baby, but about everything vampire, doppelganger, and supernatural related."

Stefan:"You say the word, and well tell her together. I also think we should talk to Bonnie. Maybe she can help us clear some of this up, and maybe even find out how it's possible."

Elena:"Okay, for now how about we just eat lunch and watch our movie."

I chuckled at her response and reached out to get our food. We sat there for a while watching our movie and eating out food. Once I finished what I was eating, I found myself snaking my right arm around Elena's small waist. I rested my hand gently against her stomach and made small circles on it with my middle finger. She giggled and continued to contently finish up her soup.

-That evening-
Elena's POV
For most of the day we lounged around and tried to figure out how we were going to tell Jenna and everyone else. We were laying on the couch when we heard Jenna, Ric and Jeremy come through the door. Stefan gave my arm a small reassuring squeeze.

Jenna:"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Stefan:"Nothing just taking it easy."

Elena:"Actually we wanted to talk to you guys."

They looked at each other with slight confusion, but they sat down to hear what we had to say. Stefan held my hand up to his mouth and gave it a small kiss. I took a deep breath and turned to face Jenna. Alaric sat on the arm of one of the chairs. Slightly behind Jenna, placing his left hand on her left shoulder. Jeremy sat across from us and had a confused look on his face.

Elena:"Ric, Jer we have to tell her."

Jenna:"Tell me what? Elena what's going on?"

Alaric:"Jenna...We've been keeping something from you..."

Jeremy:"What he's trying to say is Stefan's..."

Stefan:"Jenna, I'm...a vampire."

Jenna's POV
As soon as I heard what Stefan had said my jaw dropped. I exhaled a laugh assuming they were joking.

Jenna:"You're kidding right? What's really going on?"

Ric gave my shoulder a small squeeze. I looked back at Elena and Stefan.

Elena:"Jenna, I know it might be strange and confusing, but it's true. Mom and dad knew about vampires, and I found out when I met Stefan."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, yet I remembered Miranda telling me stories about vampires when we were younger.

Jenna:"Oh my God. Your mom she used to tell me these stories when we were younger about vampires and them being monsters."

I was in a frozen state looking at everyone in shock.

Elena:"Mom and Dad hated vampires and thought that they were all monsters. Stefan, though Stefan is good he would never hurt anyone. Look aunt Jenna vampires need blood to survive, but it doesn't mean they need to kill. Stefan drinks animal blood and it keeps him alive, but drinking human blood would make him stronger."

Stefan:"The only problem with me drinking human blood is that I'm a ripper. Which means that my blood lust is uncontrollable, but Elena has been helping me with the blood lust."

Jenna:"Wait, so...Elena you help Stefan by..."

Elena:"Stefan feeds on of my blood, but he only takes a couple drops every day until he can build up a tolerance to so much blood."

Elena's POV
Jenna gave me a blank stare. I didn't know how I was going to just tell her that I was pregnant.

Elena:"But that's not all. I'm..uh..I'm pregnant."
