Another Chance: As a Human

Chapter Twenty-Six: Secrets Revealed

I get back to my dorm room, take off my shoes and lay down on my bed. I close my eyes for a few moments before I get back up. I stare at Silas's made up bed and break down crying  just before I hear the jingle of keys and the turn of the lock. I don't look at who it is and l wipe my tears but it doesn't help because more tears come out. The light switches on and I hear the door close.

"Katherine?" I look up and see Silas 

He drops his keys on the floor as soon as he sees me and runs over to me. He wraps his arms around me and I put my face in his neck.

"Oh, baby." He says gently 

"I'm so glad you're here. It's been a rough two weeks." I sniffle 

"I know, I know. I missed you." He kisses my head

"Then why didn't you call? Two weeks and I've heard nothing from you."  

"I needed some time to gather my thoughts." He admits 

"And how was that?" I get up off the bed 

"When you broke up with me, I went straight to Mystic Falls to apologize. But when I got there, you weren't anywhere." He breathes in

"Yeah, I was with Elena and everyone in her dorm." 

"But I did come across something... someone." He breathes out 

"What? Who?" I ask

"Amara." 

I gasp at what he says and I turn around and walk towards the kitchen.

"How? She's dead." 

"This is all Stefan's fault. He kissed you and pissed Qetsiyah off and now she's taking it out on you." Silas rubs his hand down his face

"Oh my god. Why?" 

"She thought if she brought Amara back that I would choose her and leave you all alone." He says 

"Is that why you haven't called me in two weeks? Did you choose her? Is that why you came here?" I ask sharply  with my head down

"No, not at all. I'm not going to leave what we have, not for Qetsiyah, not for Amara, not for anyone." 

"Why?" I lift my head up and look at him 

He gets off the bed, walks toward me, grabs my hand and pulls me close to him. He puts his hand on my cheek and looks at my mouth as he runs his thumb along my bottom lip. He trails his eyes up my face and looks into my eyes. 

"Because I love you." He leans into me and touches his lips to mine 

I press my lips harder against his and slip some tongue. He puts his hands on the backs of my thighs and lifts me up onto the counter. He moves my legs a little and stands in between them. He moves more into the kiss and connects his tongue with mine. He starts kissing down my neck and goes to my dress. His hands trail from my waist to the top of my head dragging the dress over my head. He tosses it behind him and glances in my eyes real quick before he kisses me again. He picks me up again and walks over to his bed since it's closer to the kitchen and places me gently on the bed. He plants a mini kiss at the corner of my mouth and moves back a little and stands up. I watch as he takes his shirt off and throws it down on the ground and then he moves for his pants, unzipping and unbuttoning them. He pulls them down his legs and steps out of them and comes back to me. My legs are slightly apart, just enough to put his knee slightly in between them and his other knees on the right of me. He leans down and whispers in my ear, "I love you." He then comes back up to my lips and we resume kissing. 

Silas's POV

I kiss the top of Katherine's head as I look at our legs tangled together with the blanket and Katherine tracing circles on my chest. I take in a breath and can smell the strawberry shampoo and conditioner that I know she uses. She looks up at me and smiles before she places a light kiss on my lips. I run my hand through her hair for a few moments before I sit up on the bed.

"Hey, Katherine?" I get her attention 

"Yes?" She responds 

"When I walked in you were crying, why?" 

I feel her shift nervously and there is silence for a few moments. She takes a sharp breath in and a few seconds later she breathes out. 

"There is something I have to tell you. I'm really scared though." 

"You don't need to be scared, you can tell me anything." I assure her

"What if you don't want it." She whispers 

"Don't want it? What does that mean?" I ask 

"The baby." She whispers again 

"What baby?" I look at her 

"Our baby." She sits up wrapping the blanket around her 

"Our baby?" I ask shocked 

"Yes. I'm pregnant." 

My mouth drops a little at her statement and I look at her befuddled. 

"How? Didn't we use a-? Oh my god." I take a short pause  

"I knew it. You don't want it, my baby is going to grow up without a father."

 She quickly stands up to walk away before I grab her by the wrist and pull her gently towards me. She lands on the bed and I grab her face and kiss her. 

"This is great news." I smile 

"Really? Last time I was pregnant wasn't a great experience, so i thought-" I cut her off 

"I know we have only been together for a month or so but I would love to raise this child. I have always wanted to have kids and now I can, with you." 

"What are we going to do about Amara?" She asks 

"Honestly, I don't know. So, how far along are you?" I wonder 

"It's really early, a week and a half." 

"This is so great. I'm so excited." I keep smiling 

I pull her into a hug and kiss her cheek "So good."
