A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 23 - The advice

Elena's P.O.V.

"Names!" Caroline shouted.

I looked up from one of the pregnancy books I had been reading at Caroline. Her and Bonnie had came over to spend the day with me. We were all in my room.

"Baby names!"

"You're having a little girl. You get to pick cute names," Bonnie smiled.

"Like Caroline," Caroline grinned.

"Caroline I love you but I'm not naming my baby after you," I chuckled.

"Fine. Don't give her the best name ever," the blonde vampire pouted.

"What do you want to name her?" Bonnie asked.

"I don't know," Elena shrugged. "I haven't really thought about it because I still have some time left. It's May, so that's..."

"Supposedly four months. The baby could be early, the baby could be late, but you're due in September so four months," Caroline said. "It may seem like there's still a long time to go, but it's gonna go by fast."

"Yeah, look at how fast the time has gone by already," Bonnie agreed with Caroline.

I bit down on my lower lip as I processed what they thought. Time had been going by fast. I still felt as if I had just found out I was pregnant, but I didn't. I was five months long and things had changed since I found out. By things, I meant my relationship with Stefan. Just thinking of that caused me to frown.

"No," Caroline shook her head. "Don't do that."

"Don't do what?" I asked as I leaned back onto my pillows.

"Don't think of Stefan."

"I'm not thinking of Stefan," I denied it.

"Yes you are. You have the frown on where you think of what you did to Stefan and make yourself feel guilty," Bonnie said. "Don't."

"How could I not feel guilty?" I sat right back up and looked at them. "He was crushed and I just walked out on him. Not only that, but I cheated on him with his own brother."

"Elena you had to break up with him. You said to us when we went shopping he wasn't there for you," Caroline spoke in a soft voice.

"I could have just talked it out with him," I shook my head.

"No. No you couldn't have done that."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore," I said in a low voice. "Change the subject."

"Elena..."

"Change the subject!" I yelled.

I sighed when Caroline and Bonnie jumped. I had scared them a little. "I'm sorry," I whispered. I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear as I shook my head, "I'm just..."

"Pregnant," Bonnie nodded her head. "We understand."

"I'm pregnant. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm bitchy. I'm emotional..." I trailed off, not wanting to say the last thing.

"You're what?"

"Nothing," I shook my head. "So baby names."

"Oh no, no, no, no. Do not change the subject, Elena Gilbert," Caroline grinned.

I looked over at her grin. "What?"

"You were going to say something else," she said.

"No I wasn't."

"Yes you were."

"No I wasn't.

"Yes you were."

"I'm hungry. Do you guys want anything?" I asked as I stood up.

Bonnie rushed over to the door and stood in front of it.

"Oh come on!" I shouted.

"You are not leaving this room until you tell us what you were going to say," Caroline continued to grin.

"But I'm hungry!" I whined.

"Elena, come on," Bonnie laughed.

"Fine! Do you know what else I am? Horny! The pregnancy hormones have me going crazy and can I do anything about it? No! And it doesn't help that all of these books say that orgasms are good for the baby and I and then the books say all of these other things! I don't even have anyone to make out with!" I shouted.

Caroline and Bonnie looked at me with blank faces. The blank faces didn't last and soon, they were laughing. Caroline laid back on my bed laughing hysterically while Bonnie leaned back on the door. I shot them both dirty looks and stomped my foot onto the ground.

"It's not funny!" I shouted at them.

"Aw Elena!" Caroline managed to say through her laughter. "You're sexually frustrated!"

"Yes I am so don't laugh!"

Bonnie moved over to me and wrapped her arms around me. She was still laughing and I began to feel somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay," Bonnie laughed.

"No it's not," I pushed her away and then laid back on my bed. "I'm five months pregnant. No one wants me. Like I said before, I don't even have anyone to make out with."

Bonnie and Caroline stopped laughing. I looked over at Caroline as she sat up quickly.

"There is someone," she said.

"Who?" Bonnie and I asked simultaneously.

"Oh come on! You guys can't be that dumb," she rolled her eyes.

"Caroline just tell us who!" I said.

"Damon Salvatore, you idiots!"

I gasped while Bonnie yelled.

"No. Absolutely not," she shook her head. "She can not make out with Damon."

"Why not? Oh come on Bonnie, he's the Father of her baby," Caroline said.

"That's exactly why! Things would get complicated and Elena does not need that right now."

"How would things get complicated? Damon is crazy for her. I'm sure he'd be more than willing."

"Caroline are you serious? If she makes out with him, then what'll happen if Damon gets the wrong idea and takes off?"

"Guys, please just shut up!" I shouted. I put my hands over my face and rubbed it.

Their bickering instantly stopped. I kept my hands over my eyes as I whispered, "I think you guys should leave."

"Elena..."

"Just go," I said. "I don't feel good. I'm going to take a nap."

I felt Caroline slide off of my bed. Her and Bonnie kissed me on the forehead. Shortly after, I heard my bedroom door open and close, and then heard the front door do the same. I took my hand off of my face and sighed as I looked up at the ceiling. "Why would Caroline suggest making out with Damon?" I thought to myself. "And Damon crazy for me?" It wasn't the first time I heard that, but for some reason it still sounded so shocking to me. I didn't understand it. What I also didn't understand was why I was seriously considering on listening to Caroline.
