A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 3 - Fertility potion

Elena's P.O.V.

Going to school was the last thing on my list of things I wanted to do. Jenna kept knocking on my door yelling at me to get up. I didn't answer her.

"Elena you're going to be late for school," I heard her say from the other side of the door.

I groaned, knowing that I had to go to school. I told Jenna I was up and that I would be ready quickly so I could drive Jeremy and myself to school. I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and looked in the mirror. I looked like complete shit. My eyes had dark circles underneath them from my lack of sleep and my eyes were swollen from all of the crying I had been doing. As I brushed my teeth, my eyes drifted to the tiny trashcan where the positive pregnancy test was hidden.

I still couldn't believe I was pregnant and I probably would never believe it. Before I took the test I tried so hard to convince myself that I wasn't, but all of the signs were there. I hadn't gotten my period, which told me right away that something was off. I was throwing up a lot, but I tried to pass it off as food poisoning. I was tired, I was getting headaches repeatedly, and don't even get me started with craving different kinds of foods at random times.

Everything led to me being pregnant, but getting pregnant was supposed to be impossible for me. I slept with Damon who is a vampire. Vampires can't procreate. This sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen. Abortion was an option, but I was against that. There was nothing I could do. I would have to keep the baby.

I walked back into my room and got dressed before I grabbed my schoolbag. I walked down the stairs and felt a wave of nausea hit me as I smelt waffles.

"Elena do you want something quickly before leaving?" Jenna asked me.

I shook my head and kept my mouth closed. I didn't answer her in fear of vomiting all over the stairs. Instead, I rushed out of the door and got straight into my car. A few minutes later, Jeremy got in too.

"Elena are you alright?" he asked.

I looked over to him and tried to give him a reassuring smile. He was worried and I figured Jenna was too. "It's all good. I just have a test that I was supposed to study for but I totally forgot," I lied. I hated lying to Jeremy but for now, I had to lie.

Jeremy laughed, "I've been there before. Don't worry about it. You're one of the smartest kids in school. One test won't kill you."

I faked a laugh before starting the car. I pulled away from the curb and started driving.

The car ride was silent and for once in my life, I was so happy that we lived so close to the school. I parked the car and said goodbye to Jeremy as he went his own way. As I was swinging my bag over my shoulder, my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and saw that it was Damon. I hesitated, not knowing if I should answer it. I did anyway and said hello.

"Are you at school?" Damon asked me.

"I have to be here, Damon. Where else would I be?"

"You don't have to be there. You don't have to be anywhere. You just think you have to. I'm coming to pick you up. We have things to figure out."

"No," I said. I leaned against my car as I spoke, "You're not coming to get me. You can pick me up after school." It wasn't the best idea to spend time with Damon and tell him to pick me up, but he was right. We did have things to figure out, like how I was pregnant with his child. We both needed to figure out what was going on.

"Fine. I'll pick you up after school," Damon agreed.

We ended the conversation and I headed into the school. I went over to my locker to get my books for the first few periods. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bonnie come over to me.
