Chapter 22

Stefan

It's been a month since I proposed to Elena, we're completely settled into our apartment and are both working non stop. She flew out to Brussels for fashion week about two weeks ago and I have been booked up with clients at the shop. Thanks to Elena, B.S.I or Blood. Sweat and Ink is up and fully running, she's been a huge help in getting things ready for me. Everything I envisioned, she took it and ran with it. I have a full staff now that I can actually pay and with their tips they end up leaving with a hefty amount of cash. Elena of course was my first customer and she insisted on paying me so I tatted my soon to be wife's wrist with the words 'Baby Salvatore' and her due date below it. If someone came into the shop and wanted something like that I would've charged anywhere between 30$ and 40$ depending on color and font. Elena gave me 100$ framed it and hung it on the dark red wall behind the counter, then she made B.S.I a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account and posted the picture of her tatt as well as the others I put on her skin. Life is pretty damn amazing for us, we're in love, engaged to be married and finally over all of our past hurts and mistakes.

I'm on my way to the airport to pick her up now that she's back from her Chicago shoot, Rebekah and her brother Klaus keep Elena busy, but only because she'll be taking a leave of absence after we're married and leaving for our honeymoon. We talked it over and decided to let Caroline be our wedding planner since Elena wants an actual wedding, we've come up with a date and in two months we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore. I can't wait until April 14th, my life will be at 99% when we get to say our 'I do's'. Elena asked about starting a family and we both thought she should do maybe another year in modeling before taking that next step towards 100%, don't get me wrong becoming a father is something I want, but I just got Elena back into my life and I want it to be just the two of us for now. For someone who is often seen as a brooding dickhead, I am one happy fucking man.

Pulling into the loading zone at the airport I see Elena standing with her bags at the corner, she's all smiles when she sees me. "Hey sweetheart need a ride?" I ask her with a chuckle. Elena rolls her eyes, "No thanks, my fiance'will be here soon and he's not the kind of guy you want to mess with." I shrug and play along with her, "Well I know one thing, your man is one lucky bastard." A grin spreads across her beautiful face, "That he is, but I feel as if I am the lucky one." I raise an eyebrow, "Why's that?" Elena leans into the car window, she looks around before whispering... "I'm the lucky one because he can take me to places that no one else can if you know what I mean." We hold each other's stare for a second before we bust out laughing, I open the trunk and get out to see my girl. "Let me." I say as she tries to put her things into the car, as soon as the trunk is closed I take Elena into my arms and kiss her hard. "Missed you." Elena blinks before wrapping her arms around my neck bringing me closer to her. "I missed you more." She places her soft lips against mine and I'm lost in her, the sound of cars beeping makes us break apart. "Where to miss?" Elena walks to the passenger door, "Home Mr. Salvatore."

After a night of amazing sex I decided to get up and make breakfast while Elena is still sleeping. She had only been gone for two days this time, but damn I hate her being gone. After being without her for years its hard to let her go now that she's with me again, I knew what I was getting into when I made the choice to come here with her, but damn I feel like she's always gone. As long as she's happy then I'm happy, I make her favorite omelets as I think about tonight. Valentine's Day, I have our entire evening planned out, I just hope she likes what I have in mind. I've never been too romantic with things, but being with her makes me turn into a sap. "I thought I smelled something good." Elena walks over to the coffee pot, she's wearing my t-shirt and her boy shorts. Her hair is evidence of the night we had and I'm hard just thinking about all the ways she was bending, her moans bouncing off the walls in our room, the way my name was coming out of her mouth.. damn I need her again. "Sleep good?" I ask her while I adjust the tent in my sweats, she yawns and sits at the breakfast table. "For the three hours that I did get to sleep I would have to say yes." I smirk walking towards her. "Eat up." I place the omelets in front of her, her eyes literally light up at the sight of the food.

"Its delicious babe." I kiss her head and sit with her, she stabs her plate over and over again. I can't help but to laugh at how hungry she is. "Stop laughing Stefan, Rebekah will kick my ass if you keep feeding me." I snort, "Rebekah wants you to be a twig. I will feed my wife whatever I fucking want to, because I love her curves." I mention while digging into my own plate, Elena has tears come to her eyes when I look back at her. "What's wrong?" She shakes her head and giggles, "I just can't believe that we're going to be married in two months. I'm finally going to be Mrs. Stefan Salvatore." She wipes the tears from her eyes and waves me off, "Ugh, wedding planning is so emotional." I kiss the back of her hand, "Its also Valentine's Day, so you can be this emotional in love bride to be all you want."

"Happy Valentine's Day Stefan." Elena sits in my lap kissing me, "So how are we spending our V-Day?" I kiss the side of her head, "You'll have to go get in the bath first, then we can start our day." She squeals and literally runs towards the bedroom. Elena has always loved today, even when she was a single she always would celebrate it anyway. I never got why she loved it so much until she told me that its was her mom's favorite day of the year and Katherine always made a big deal about it. After washing our dishes I find Elena soaking in a bubble bath with the jets going. "I see you found gift one." I mention taking a seat on the edge of the Jacuzzi tub. Elena hums, "My favorite bubble bath oils waiting on me, yeah gift one is amazing." "Well, I've already had my shower so you just sit back and relax." She never opens her eyes just smiles and nods her head. While I wait on her to finish up in the bath, I make a few calls to some clients setting up their appointments, talking over tattoo designs and where to put them. Caroline shoots me a text asking about my tux size and I want to tell her that I can handle all the tuxedos, but in the short time that I have known Caroline I know that she'll just argue with me until I agree with her. So I give her the information and she sends back a winking emoji.

I sigh and sit back in my office chair, two more months and Elena and I will be at Cipriani 42nd street exchanging our vowels. The venue is great, the colors are nice, Elena and Caroline plus Bonnie have everything picked out and ordered, I'm just here waiting on the day I become a married man.

We spent our entire day eating at expensive restaurants, drinking wine and tasting every kind of chocolate you could think of. We went to a play just as Elena had requested, she had mentioned going to a museum a few weeks ago so we did that and finally we're heading home, but I have one more thing in mind. "I had the most amazing day Stefan, I know that some of it wasn't your style but I appreciate that you did all of this for me." I take her hand in mine, "I had an awesome day just being with you." She leans back into her seat, "So are you going to let me make you dinner tonight?" I l chuckle as we come to a stop light, "Yes and I'll have the fire extinguisher on stand by." She shoves my shoulder playfully, "Hey! I have gotten better at cooking, just wait and you'll see." I nod and turn, "So you've mentioned seeing where I grew up." Elena nods , "I have." I stay silent for moment then turn onto another street and park the car. "See that apartment building right in front of us? That is where I spent my last years in New York before I met you."

Elena sits up in her seat and stares at the building, So this is where a teenage Stefan spent all of his time?" I snort at that. "I spent as much time away from here as possible, but yeah I once called this place home. Haley and I both lived there together, I kept her out of trouble with the fosters and she did her best to keep me out of jail." Elena sighs, "Thank you for showing me." She unbuckles her seat belt and climbs into my lap kissing me, sliding my tongue into her mouth I grip her hips and grind my hard on against her core. Moaning Elena begins moving against me, she takes my hand and places it up her dress. "Right here, right now. Stefan I can't wait." Taking my dick out of my jeans I then rip Elena's thongs from her body, I slide my finger up and down her slit feeling how wet she is. I lift her then guide my cock into her, we both moan and she begins bouncing up and down on me. I slam my hips up thrusting into her, we're fucking in our car at 8 pm on the New York City street. "Fuck Stefan." I grunt and take her hips crashing her down on me, "God Elena you drive me fucking crazy." I growl in her ear, she begins to move fast on top of me, I pound into her as fast and as hard as I can. "Stefan, Stefan, yes!" Elena's screams fill my ears and then we're both reaching our climax. She falls onto my chest panting, I lean my head back against the head rest trying to catch my breath.

"Damn baby." Its all I can say, she giggles against me. "This has been the best Valentine's Day." I stroke her hair, "Ready to go home for a couple more rounds?" Elena slides off me and falls into the passenger seat. "Drive Salvatore." I chuckle and do as I'm told. "So Caroline says that everything is coming along just right, she's flying up here next week and we're going to shop around for wedding cakes. Would you like to tag along?" I look over to see her waiting for an answer, I grin which makes her eyes sparkle. "I take that as a yes." I nod before getting onto the next street. "That's a yes, I'm not as giddy as you are, but I don't want Caroline talking you into some raspberry filling in our wedding cake." She had mentioned it once before, I didn't know if she was kidding or not, but I was not for it.

"Don't worry Stefan, there will be no raspberry anything." She leans over to kiss me and then we're flipping. I can hear Elena's screams, glass busting and flying around us, metal scraping against the pavement and then we stop. I open my eyes and cough, I try to sit up and glass falls around me. We're upside down, I do my best to get out of my seat belt, but I can't. I close my eyes and breath, "Elena. Elena, baby are you ok?" Silence. I open my eyes and turn my head, "Elena, baby wake up!" I yell at her, but nothing. I work to get out of my seat, I hear footsteps. People are yelling, sirens are in the distance. "Help her, help my wife!" I scream as loud as my lungs will allow me to. Elena's door is being ripped open and relief floods me. "Thank you, please get her out and make sure she's ok. I'm stuck, please check her for me."

I look over to see hands taking Elena's unconscious body from the car, I pray that she's alive that she's not being taken from me. I can't lose her, not now, not ever. Tires squeal in the background, more yelling, the sirens are closer. I try hard to stay awake, blood is dripping into my eyes, I can't see anything. Then I hear, "Someone took the passenger and drove off. She's gone." I blink, my heart is racing and then nothing.

Elena

I hear voices as I come to, my head is pounding and my body aches all over. I try to open my eyes, but I can't. "Stef." I groan as I call for him. Where is he? Where am I? What happened? I try to remember... Valentine's Day. Omelets, bubble bath, eating, drinking, desserts, the play, we went to a museum and then Stefan's old home. We had hot sex in the car, we were going home and then... we were hit! Stefan's side of the car was hit and we flipped down the street. Am I dead? Are we in the hospital? I will my eyes to open, everything is blurry when I come to. "Stefan?" I call out to him, but I get no response. My vision clears and then I am face to face with someone I don't know. "Hello, didn't know if you were going to make it or not." I sit up, I don't know where I am, but I can tell that I am in a bed. "Who are you? Where am I? Where's Stefan?" Hot tears stream down my face. I just got Stefan back, we're starting our lives together. I can't lose him, I can't be on this earth without Stefan. "Please, tell me where I am. Where is Stefan Salvatore, my fiance'?"

The man smirks in a sinister way, I sit up abruptly with my heart pounding in fear. Its then I notice that I am on a bed a comfortable one, but not my bed. I look around the room and see that I am in someone else's apartment, very high up as I can see the New York buildings are lit up and its still dark out. Maybe a penthouse? "Why am I here? Answer me!" He chuckles as he fold his arms leaning against the bedpost staring at me, "Miss Pierce, my name is Brady. I am an old associate of Silas Monroe, you remember hm don't you? Anyway, Silas is paying me good money to keep an eye on you and his brother." I freeze, Silas is behind this? Even in prison he is causing pain to others. To me and his brother. "Where is Stefan?" I growl, he chuckles and runs a hand over his lightly shaved head. "I assume at the hospital or maybe out looking for you with NYPD." This Brady guy moves off of the bedpost and leans in close to me, I lean away from his evil stare. "I'm here to make sure that Stefan Salvatore never sees you or his bastard child again." My blood runs cold, did he say child? Brady laughs holding his stomach now. "Oh I take it that you didn't know about the Salvatore seed inside you." My stomach flips, I'm pregnant? Oh my God, I've been so busy with Stefan and both of us working on top of everything else that I must've neglected to take my birth control. Shit, shit, shit! "Jules, baby come in here." I turn my head towards the bedroom door, a tall beautiful woman who is maybe a few years older than me walks in wearing periwinkle colored scrubs. She has hazel eyes, light brown hair that has been loosely curled at the bottom and wears gold hoop earrings. "Show Elena her blood test results and bring the sonogram pictures in." Brady orders pointing to the dresser in the corner of the room. Jules simply nods her head and walks towards it, what the hell is going on here? Is this some sick joke? Am I in a coma and this is my twisted dream? No, I know better than that, I know that I haven't taken the birth control and this is all too real. Brady clears his throat getting my attention back on the woman. "Jules is a nurse, she took all kind of blood samples and did a ultra sound to make sure you had no internal bleeding. What popped up on both of those things?" Jules walks over to the bed, she sticks out her hand and hands me the paper and three sonogram pictures. My hands are shaking, I look down and see that I am positive for pregnancy on the paper. My tear filled eyes shift to the sonograms and there in black and white is two small pea shaped figures. "That's your babies, you're having twins and you're exactly 6 weeks and 2 days along. Your due date is September 24th, but since you're carrying twins the doctor will probably induce you around 37 weeks, so most likely the 3rd of September." Jules informs me and its like someone has told me that I have cancer, I can't process this correctly.

These people crashed our car, took me away from Stefan who is possibly still alive and they work for Silas. They are here to make sure that Stefan never sees me or our babies, ever again. Our babies, I am pregnant with twins. With Stefan Salvatore's children and he doesn't even know, maybe he never will. Oh God, this is like 2008 all over again, I lost our baby in February of that year, we were due in September just like we are now, I'm farther along this time, if this paper is correct with the due date and with freaking twins! This is making me sick, I feel so damn dizzy. I lean over the bed and throw everything up, Brady groans. "God that's disgusting." I sit up and swing my feet off the bed, "I am not your prisoner, you can't just keep me here!" I run to the door but arms wrap around me. "You aren't going anywhere Elena, Silas wants you away from Stefan and once we kill him, we'll wait to see what Silas has in store for you mommy. He made it through the damn car wreck, but I won't make that mistake twice, I have ten million on the line." I struggle against him, scream as loud as I can and then I feel the sting of a needle in my side, the last thing I can think of is Stefan and the lives we have created.

Stefan

I hear beeping noises, I squeeze my eyes tight and try to roll over. Something snags my hand, I open my eyes to see a IV in my right hand. It all comes back to me, the wreck. Someone taking Elena from the overturned car and then darkness. I push the call button on the hospital bed, I begin to yell for help. "Hey! I need somebody in here!" I scramble to get out of the bed, I need to find her. I need my love. Nurses rush in and try to calm me down, "Mr. Salvatore please calm down." I shake my head, are they fucking serious? "Calm down? My fucking fiance' is missing! I need the police in here now!"

"Stefan." I look to the doorway and see a tired Damon standing there with a chubby Charlotte in his arms. "Damon? Where is Elena?" Damon shuffles into the room and sighs, "They're doing everything they can to find her Stefan, NYPD is out looking for my sister right now. There are witnesses who saw the whole thing happen, the same truck that hit you and Elena, those guys took her. It was an older model Dodge Ram, they found it burned down by the docks, but they're still looking foe leads." Tears come to my eyes and a sick feeling hits my stomach. I can't believe that this has happened, what the hell is going on? Who the fuck would want to take Elena? "We need to find her Damon! Get me the fuck out of here." Bonnie comes into the room and takes Charlotte from her father. "There are detectives who want to talk to you about the case they're building." She whispers with teary eyes, this isn't fucking good at all. I sit down on the bed and look at the floor. "I can't lose her again." Damon's hand squeezes my shoulder in support and that's when I let my own tears roll down my cheeks. I've never been one to show my emotions, but this isn't about hiding a damn thing. My girl is missing and I have no idea if I'll ever see the love of my life ever again. Damon crouches down looking at me with his own emotions showing. "Stef, we're going to get her back, but finding her is no good until we get you out of here and you need to stay strong for your gal."

The nurses check the IV fluids, I'm hurting like hell and yet all I can think about is if Elena is hurt or worse! No, fuck that. I can't think like that.

"Mr. Salvatore you lost a lot of blood and your ribs on the left side are bruised and cracked. You'll be released tomorrow if the doctor sees it fit." I can't believe what I am hearing, I'm here in a fucking hospital bed while Elena is God knows where. "How did you know where to find me?" I ask Damon sitting back in the bed defeated. Damon clears his throat sitting on the end of my bed as the nursing staff leaves the room. "The hospital called us, they saw that I was listed in your phone as an emergency contact." Licking my dry lips I close my eyes resting my head against the small pillow. The sterile smell of the small room makes me even more nauseous, I shake off the gross feeling and focus on the task at hand. "Do the cops know anything?" Damon shrugs with a roll of his eyes and I want to hit something. I guess they're keeping him in the dark. "We don't know anything, but when you talk to the detectives they'll fill you in on everything." Opening my eyes I growl out, "Get them in here."
