Chapter 18: wake up sweetheart
"Why didn't she wake up?" asked Klaus. They were back at the mansion, and Meredith was still unconscious. "I don't know exactly," answered Elijah. "I can hear her pulse and the baby pulse too, its sounds fine." Said Klaus. "It is, but she is not waking up." Said Elijah. "But she can't stay this way, in a few hours she will become weak and the baby too." Said Klaus. "I know." Said Elijah softly. Klaus screamed in frustration and pain. He lies down next to her on the bed, holding her hand.
Damon was with Bonnie, Elena and Stefan at their house. Bonnie's mom already left. "You said that Meredith fainted?" asked Damon. "Yes, and she didn't wake up. They tried to wake her for more than half an hour before they took her from there," said Bonnie. "What can we do?" asked Stefan. "For a start, I will call Elijah." Said Elena. "You have his number?" asked Damon, surprised. "Yes, from a long time ago." Said Elena with her cellphone held to her ear.
"Hello," she heard his voice. "Hi, it's Elena. How is Meredith?" she said. "She didn't wake up yet." Said Elijah sadly. "There is something we can do?" asked Elena. "I don't know," answered Elijah. Damon held his hand out, and Elena gave him the phone.
"I can get medical devices, like IV, fetal monitor and stuff like that," said Damon. The others stared at him in confusion. He rolled his eyes and pulled out of his wallet a medical ID card."You can't steal that stuff, people will notice if it disappeared." Said Elijah. "I wouldn't steal it, just trust me o.k.? see you soon." Said Damon. "Goodbye," said Elijah and hanged up.
"Is it fake?" asked Bonnie. "Not exactly," said Damon and took the card back. "What do you mean not exactly?" asked Elena. "I finished my medicine studies a long time ago but I am not ageing, so I fake the card once in a few years and changed the date on the state database." He explained. "It's crazy! You are a vampire! You kill people, how can you be a doctor?" asked Bonnie. "Look, I got bored so I studied medicine; the thing is that I can use my doctor ID to borrow equipment that can help Meredith, so I will meet you there," said Damon and left. Elena and Bonnie stared at Stefan. "Don't look at me like that, I had no idea that he is a doctor," said Stefan. "o.k." said Elena. "Let's go to the mansion," said Stefan and they got in Elena's car.
Big truck stopped in front of the mansion not very long time later. Damon was in his car behind it. He talked for a moment with the two guys from the truck and went to the door. Elijah opened the door after the first knock. "I have everything we need, can you show them the way to the room?" asked Damon. "Sure." Said Elijah and showed them the way up.
After they finish, Damon took them out. "Call us when you will finish with that stuff doctor Salvatore," said one of the guys. "Sure, thanks." Said Damon and they drove away.
"Doctor Salvatore?" asked Elijah with a raised eyebrow. Damon rolled his eyes at him, gave him his card and got to the room to take care of Meredith.
Damon started to work, while Klaus still next to Meredith, half asleep. He made a quick check to Meredith and the embryo, and then connected both of them to the monitors. He connected Meredith to IV and nutrition tube. Elijah was staring at him, with the card still in his hands. "So… doctor?" asked Elijah. Damon chuckled and took his card back.
Klaus sat on a chair next to Meredith's bed, when Elena, Bonnie and Stefan came in. "I don't want you in here witch," said Klaus without taking his eyes off Meredith's face. "She is my friend," said Bonnie. "Sure, but when she asked your help for our baby, and told you that my mother is dangerous you told her that our baby should have never created," said Klaus. "It's still true. This baby is an abomination," said Bonnie.
Klaus lunged at Bonnie but Elena and Stefan got in his way. Elena was standing in front of Klaus while Stefan was standing behind her, protecting Bonnie. Elena putted her hands on both sides of Klaus's face and he looked at her. "Breathe," she said softly. A tear rolled down his face. Elena hugged him, and he broke down, crying. "She will be fine; you know her, she is the strongest girl in the world." She told him quietly.
Stefan and Bonnie stared at them. "Get Elijah," said Elena and Stefan nodded and got out of the room, taking Bonnie with him.
When Elijah got in, he took Elena's place and hugged his brother. "Thank you Elena," said Elijah. "You're welcome," she replied and after kissing Meredith cheek she got out of the room. Stefan was still there. He stroked Meredith hair and kissed her forehead. "Wake up sister, we need you," he said softly. Stefan walked to the door. "Call me when she wakes up." he said, and left the room.
But Meredith didn't wake up. It has been a few weeks by now.
"Finn is dead," said Elijah. "How did he die?" asked Klaus. "Damon still wants us dead, and so are his brother and friends, lucky for us we already force Bonnie to brake the connection between us, or we all were dead," said Elijah. "Yes, lucky us," said Klaus, careless.
Klaus was depressed. He never left Meredith side, not to feed or to sleep. Damon came in to check on Meredith every day, Klaus didn't even care that he was responsible for his brother death; he just hoped that he will make Meredith to wake up.
One month was left for the baby birth.
Klaus was stroking Meredith hair.
"Wake up sweetheart," he whispered, "wake up."
Meredith opened her eyes.
