I sit up as the doorbell rings. I get up and I head into the living room.
"Hello officer. Is there a problem?"
"Ma'am, I don't want to alarm you, but you need to get father inland in 3 to 4 hours."
"Is it the hurricane?"
"Yes." I nod.
"Thank you." I close the door then I rush back in our room.
"Damon, pack some clothes. The hurricane is moving farther inland. We have to get going."
"Go get Ember. I'll start packing." I nod then I rush into Ember's room.
"Baby, get up the hurricane is moving. Pack your stuff, we have to go." She starts grabbing stuff and putting it in a bag. I go back into Damon and I's room and he has all of our stuff packed.
"Are we ready?"
"Yeah. C'mon, we have to go." We head out of the room to see Ember waiting patiently with little Stella in her arms, and I have Java curled up in my arms. We head out to the car and Damon opens the car door for me.
"Come on." Ember and Meredith sit in the backseat. Stella curls up on Ember's lap and she pets her head gently. Elena laughs and Java paws her stomach gently.
"He's kicking."
"He?" Ember asks
"I think it's a boy." Damon smiles and gently strokes my bump before putting 2 hands back on the wheel.
"Speaking of which, I was going to tell you two today. Elena, you're far enough along for us to tell the gender!" Elena smiles and gently rubs circles into the bump.
"Ember, are you taking selfies back there?" She rolls her eyes.
"Pff, no."
"Don't make me go on Instagram."
"What's the matter with selfies?"
"It just surprises me." She laughs a little. I fall asleep after about 30 minutes. Damon shakes me awake.
"Elena, we're in Grenoble." I sit up a little.
"How long were we driving?"
"Almost 4 hours. The hotel isn't as packed as the others we checked, so we're getting 2 rooms." I nod then we head inside.
"Hello again monsieur!" Damon wraps an arm around me.
"2 rooms, yes?"
"Yes." Damon pays then we head into an elevator and up to our rooms which are really nice.
"Do you guys still want to find out the gender?" Meredith asks. Damon and I both nod eagerly.
"You know what's funny, Damon?" He takes my hand.
"We've dealt with rippers, hybrids, witches, vampires, sacrifice, no problem. We still lived in Mystic Falls. As soon as a hurricane hits, gone." He laughs.
"Well, that's probably because we've dealt with huge things like that so it didn't feel worth fighting for, cara mia." I smile at him and he kisses my bump.
"But our babies are worth fighting for." We both smile at Ember who has her earbuds in. She falls asleep, so Meredith does the ultrasound.
"Congratulations. It's a boy." We smile.
"So... How are we planning to tell her we're naming her little brother Damien?"
"Tell her we chose it loooong time before she even she or Damian was here. And it's not the same spelling, Elena." Damon goes over to her. He takes an earbud out and murmurs softly in it.
