A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 19 - Shopping

Elena's P.O.V.

At five months pregnant, I had a pregnant belly that was growing more and more as the days passed. My clothes were no longer fitting as well they used to and even the clothes Stefan bought didn't fit.

I was going to spend the day going shopping with Caroline and Bonnie. Shopping was the last thing I wanted to do, but I knew I couldn't keep wearing the same pairs of sweatpants and shirts over and over.

I moved downstairs carefully when I got the text message from Caroline saying they were waiting outside.

"Where are you going?" Jenna asked.

"I'm going shopping with Caroline and Bonnie. I need maternity clothes," I explained.

She gave me a confused look. "Didn't Stefan buy you clothes last month?"

"None of them fit. They're too big. I'll probably be able to wear them in a couple of more months," I frowned. I picked up my jacket and threw it on.

"Oh. Alright. Well have fun. If you need anything give me a call," Jenna said.

"I will. I'll see you later, Jenna," I said. I opened the door and walked outside. I heard Caroline shout excitedly as I made my way over to the car.

"Look at you!" she shouted.

I laughed as she hugged me carefully and put one hand on my stomach.

"Hi baby!" Caroline said to the baby. She looked up at me with a grin, "How are you feeling, Momma?"

"Tired."

"We don't have to go today if you don't feel well," Bonnie said with a small frown.

I shook my head. "No it's alright. I have to go shopping. I have nothing to wear and it'll be nice to get out of the house."

"We are going to find you the cutest maternity clothes ever, none of those boring and ugly clothes I sometimes see people wear," Caroline said. She moved into the driver's seat while I sat next to her and Bonnie sat in the back. Caroline pulled away from our house, telling me that we were going to a store outside of Mystic Falls so we wouldn't have to worry about the "annoying, judgemental, bitches" in town.

"Does anyone even know I'm pregnant at school?" I asked curiously. It had been something that was on my mind. I didn't really go out and when I did not many people noticed.

"They have their rumors as always, but I take care of them," Caroline smirked.

"Caroline!" I shouted.

"Kidding, kidding! Gosh Elena," she giggled. "I haven't done anything to them but believe me when I hear any of them bring your name up, I want to do nothing but compel them. Bonnie disapproves though."

"Damn right I disapprove," Bonnie muttered from the back. "Some people don't care and then some people practically live to know if you really are pregnant. I think it's sort of pathetic that they're so bored, they feel as if gossiping about your life is the only thing they can do."

"I figured people would talk," I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't care."

"Good attitude," Caroline smiled.

"Let's get off topic about bitches at our school," Bonnie said. "Do you know the sex of the baby yet?"

"No. I'm actually going to the doctor's next week for another check up and while I'm there I'm going to ask," I said. I had read online that women at five months pregnant could find out the sex of the baby and I really hoped it was true.
