Damon and I lay in bed watching the news. He smiles at me and kisses the top of my head.
"We still have to pick out a tree..." I smile up at him.
"I know. But I'm tired. I'm pregnant, I have an excuse." He chuckles.
"Maybe I already got a tree while you were napping yesterday." I sit up and I grab my robe. Damon smiles and wraps an arm around my waist. I go out in the living room where a beautiful Christmas tree sits.
"Damon Giuseppe!" I press my lips to his.
"I love you too Elena." I smile and notice that it's already perfectly trimmed with lights. Ember comes into the living room.
"Morning, Mom, Dad and holy Christmas tree." There's a knock on the door. I go over to the door and I I'm pinned against the wall by my throat.
"Damon." I look into the eyes of the person.
"Enzo?" Damon asks. Enzo? Who the hell is Enzo?
"Did you miss me, Damon?"
"It's me you want, leave my wife alone." He chuckles.
"Is this Katherine?"
"No. This is Elena. And Enzo I know it's impossible but she is pregnant."
"I rarely get played for a fool. Prove it." Ember runs up.
"Listen to me. I'm her daughter. I'm a vampire. I was born. Damon is my father and she is my mother." She digs through my purse.
"Do you see this? This is an ultrasound of my little brother or sister. Someone who means the whole world to me. Please. I'm begging you. Don't kill my Mom. Killing her would be like killing my Dad. And I can't loose either of them." He lets me go and I run into Damon's arms. He gently strokes my head and I listen for the baby's heartbeat. I sigh with relief when I hear it, gentle and steady. Ember helps me sit down and Damon stands protectively in front of us.
"If you want to kill me, do it. But leave my family out of this."
"They're already in it." I clench my teeth then I stand between them.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know him?" Enzo smiles.
"So you haven't told your sexy wife the story?"
"I'm not interested in you, jackass."
"Well I'm like Damon. Arrogant, cocky, a murderer."
"I am not like that. Not anymore." I take a deep breath.
"What the hell happened?"
"It was London, wasn't it?" Damon asks.
"1950." I take Damon's face in my hands.
"Tell me, Damon. I'm not going to think of you any different." He nods.
"We were sitting in a bar one night. Talking about life, about what we wanted. A guy started a fight by hitting his girlfriend. We tried to stop it. The girlfriend was thrown into some alcohol, then a lantern was knocked over. A fire started. Enzo was trapped in the back. Couldn't get through the flames. He begged me to help him but I couldn't get through either. I told him I was sorry then I flipped the switch. And my humanity was gone." Enzo chuckles.
"You leave out the part where you left me to burn. When I was burning alive until the girl put the flames out. I flashed out of there, went to go find you, tell you I was okay. But when I found you, you were draining lives. Killing people. I wanted to save you but I couldn't. Just like you couldn't save me." Damon nods.
