Reckless Minds

Welcome Home

I wake up in the same seat I was in. I have my seatbelt on and I see us descending. I grin, seeing my home. I watch it appear but then my heart drops. I have to tell Damian about the baby. Our baby. Soon we get our luggage and we're headed over to the bag pick up.

"I'm gonna make a quick call." I go over to where people are not most occupied and I start pacing.

"Hello?" I take in a deep breath.

"Damian."

"Hey Em. Are you home?"

"Yeah, I'm home."

"Good. You sound upset what's wrong?"

"Something happened. Something's happening to me."

"What is it?" I take in a couple deep breaths.

"Damian, I'm pregnant." The other line is silent.

"Please say something." I whisper.

"Are you going to- you know..."

"No. And I'm not giving it up for adoption, either. But I won't force you to be in the baby's life." He's silent again.

"I have to go. My Uncle is probably here to pick us up." I hang up quickly then I head back to my parents.

"That was the right thing, Em. He deserved to know."

"He doesn't deserve anything. The dick got me pregnant." Dad laughs.

"Careful Em, you're starting to sound like your mother when she was in labor with you."

"Your Dad has a point." I give them a small smile.

"And on your behalf," Dad starts, "Klaus and I have made peace."

"Good." We grab our bags then head out to wait for Uncle Stefan. Soon I spot him talking to some blonde.

"Uh oh."

"Lexi?" The blonde's head turns. They walk over to us.

Elena's POV

Lexi... Alive? Damon and I look at each other. Stefan smiles at Klaus then turns his attention to us.

"You're probably wondering how this is possible."

"Uh, yeah, that's probably the understatement of the century." Damon laughs.

"Little did Lexi know, she had a twin. Her twin was determined to make her life a living hell, so she was going to kill me. So technically Damon, you saved my life."

"And you stabbed me for nothing."

"You were being a dick."

"Okay, both of you shut the hell up." Lexi looks at me.

"And you must be Elena."

"Yeah, I'm Damon's wife." I point at Damon and he smirks.

"This is Ember and Damien. Our kids." Her jaw drops.

"How-"

"We'll explain later." We head out to the car.

"I swear to god if someone told me Damon Salvatore was going to be a father, I would've punched them in the face." Damon rolls his eyes.

"Thanks so much Lexi." Damien reaches for Damon from my arms.

"There's my little man." I smile at them.

"Aww, Damon's gone soft."

"I'm a father. But I'm never going soft." We get in the car. We talk on the way home about how vampires can procreate. Ember stares out the window, wordless until Stefan talks to her.
