Chapter 23
Elena
Three weeks have passed since I found out that I'm going to be a mother, three weeks without seeing Stefan's face, three fucking weeks have gone by since I was able to wrap myself inside his strong arms and feel his lips against mine. Right now I am supposed to be wedding planning with Caroline, this is supposed to be a happy time in my life and I'm everything, but happy. I don't know if Stefan is hurt or alive, did he make it out of the wreck? Has Silas' men killed him or is he out in the city searching for me? I spend my days locked away in a bedroom with men guarding the damn door, when I am brought food I have a gun pointed at my uterus. There is no escaping this hell, I have my unborn children to think of now and the sad part is I have no idea if I'll even live long enough to be a mother to them. Jules comes in daily to give me prenatal vitamins, she checks my blood pressure and makes sure that I am eating and drinking properly. I have morning sickness and heartburn that lasts all day so I am taking antacids and gulping down Ginger Ale that she offers, no one has told me what is going to happen to me yet. I don't know what Silas has planned for me, Brady is vague when he speaks to me and its rare that he does. Right now I am staring outside my bedroom window watching the sky turn to dark pink and purple. I sigh closing my eyes while I am transported to my happiest times with the man I love, "I need you Stefan, don't be dead. Don't let me go."
Stefan
"We got a hit! We've got her, I'm sure of it!" I jump from my seat in the police station, I've practically moved in here since I got out of the hospital. Damon and I race over to detective Marcel Gerard praying that they really have found Elena. "What is it? What did you find?" I rush out of my mouth my eyes pleading with him to tell me what I want to hear. Marcel closes his office door and motions for us to sit down, but I'm too riled up to sit still. Marcel sighs and leans against his desk. "I know where she is." My heart feels like it's going to burst, is she ok? Did they hurt her? "Well?" Damon takes the word from my mouth. "We got a tip that Silas Monroe was behind this, that he organized everything from the inside and had his old contacts set it up." I clench my fist and hit the door in front of me. "Goddamn it!" Damon comes up behind me and pulls me into a chair. "Stefan we need to remain calm, he's in prison and can't physically hurt her." I stare at him in disbelief, this is his fucking sister we're talking about. The man that fucking raped her had her fucking abducted. Just because that sick bastard is behind bars doesn't mean he can't hurt her, i mean come on... he was organized enough to have her taken from me, there's no telling what they've done to Elena. My stomach rolls, this whole ordeal makes me want to fucking vomit.
"Alright we're all on the same page here, we caught wind that Silas was conjuring up something, so we put in an undercover and finally he got Silas to admit that he was behind Elena getting taken." I sigh and rub my hands over my face in frustration. "Ok so now what? You said you got a hit so what the hell does that mean?" Marcel opens a file and hands me a picture of Triumph Towers, "This is where he's holding her, we just don't know what floor she's on. We can't go in there guns blazing until we know her exact whereabouts." I get up from my chair and pace the room, I feel the walls closing in on me. "When will that be? When will you know where the hell she is in the building?" Marcel looks to Damon who is now about to explode. "We're going to pull a fire prank, we'll have our men at every exit and they'll be doing an entire sweep of the building. When we have eyes on Elena we'll take her into custody."Damon clears his throat and looks up to Marcel from his seat, "When is this taking place?" Marcel's phone rings making me want to kill him, "Just a second guys." I roll my eyes, I'm close to saying fuck it and take my ass down to Trump Towers and find her myself. "Tail her, don't let her out of your sight." Licking my lips I walk up to Marcel, I'm done with this. "What is it?" Marcel grabs his badge and gun from the desk drawer before turning back to me. "We've been watching the building for a few days now and this woman has been being escorted from the building, well for the past few days she's been making a run to a drug store buying things for a pregnant woman. When she made her run today she left a note for the officers that have been following her with the pharmacist, she gave him the apartment number." I relax slightly hearing this. "Today when the officers went into to talk to the pharmacist as they always do he slipped them the note."
"Ok so what are we going to do now?" Damon asks him, Marcel opens the door signaling for us to follow him. "Thierry let's go, alright everyone listen up we have conformation on Elena Pierce's location. We're doing this now, I want a team at every exit. These people are working for Silas Monroe which means they're dangerous and probably have a plan in case we're to intervene. Approach with caution and make sure to get miss Pierce out safely, we think she may be pregnant." My heart stops, it never registered what he said about this woman buying things for a pregnant woman, either she or Elena is pregnant. I could be a father, the woman I love is being held against her will and she could be fucking pregnant with our child. "I'm coming with you." Marcel looks back to me with a smirk, "I thought you'd never ask, but you're to stay back in a squad car. When we have Elena we will bring her to you and have the two of you transported to a hospital." Damon sighs and pats me on the back, "Go get your girl."
Elena
Chaos, in the blink of an eye chaos happens. The banging on the apartment door has my eyes glued to the door of my room, then the shouting and shots being fired has me running into the bathroom. I lock the door and get into the shower in case someone comes for me with a gun, I know that these guys can easily take the door down, but they'll literally have to come in here and drag my ass out. More shots, more shouting and then my name is being called. "Elena Pierce this is Detective, Marcel Gerard with the NYPD. I'm here to take you home." I let out a breath and slowly make my to the door, closing my eyes I unlock it. The door opens and I'm met with a man holding a gun, he has his badge up and is smiling. "Miss Pierce you have no idea how good it is to finally meet you, you have one hell of man waiting for you downstairs." Tears fall from my eyes and I run to him, "Stefan's alive?" The detective nods his head through a chuckle, "Yes mam, he's here and is probably doing his best to get up here to you." I sob happily and throw my arms around him, "Thank you! Thank you so much!" "How about we get you to him?" I wipe the tears from my eyes and begin to follow him out. "Why don't you look at your feet when you walk out of here, no expecting mother should have to look at this." I stop mid step and look at him, "How did you know?" Shrugging he smiles, "Jules lead us to believe that either she or you were expecting, I just guessed that it was you." I nod and my heart stops, "Does Stefan know?" He shakes his head, "I don't think he knows its you, but maybe that's something you two should talk about."
People are everywhere as we walk through the apartment, but I do as Marcel suggested and keep my eyes glued to my feet. Once we're at the elevators, we're escorted by two guys in uniforms. All I want is to see Stefan's face, to jump into his arms and kiss him like crazy. I watch the red numbers go down each floor and I get more antsy to get out of this confined space. The doors open and I step out hurrying to make my way out to Stefan, the need to see him is growing stronger every second. "Elena!" I see him! His face is relieved and there are tears in his eyes with a smile on his face. He has an officer blocking him from going any further into the lobby of the apartment building, but Marcel shouts for him to pass through. I run, I run as hard and as fast as I can to the man I love. He meets me and I jump into his arms, I'm balling my eyes out as I hang on to him. "Stefan!" He holds me like I'm going to fly away, but I feel the same way. I pull back and look into his eyes, his mouth slams on mine and I meet his hot needy kiss. "I thought I fucking lost you." His voice is shaking and there are tears in his eyes. "Me too." I croak.
Stefan pulls me back into his embrace and I snuggle into his warm chest placing my ear over his heart. He kisses my head and holds me with his strong arms, home. Stefan is home and I never want to leave him again.
Stefan
I have her, I have Elena back with me again. The moment I saw her step out of that elevator my entire life flashed before my eyes, I saw her pregnant with our future child caressing her bump, I saw our other children running around our kitchen screaming and laughing. When she ran to me I couldn't take it any longer, I took off running too. I had to have her back in my arms, when I kissed her it was like I was doing it for the first time again. I never want her away from me again, we've been through too much shit to be parted time and time again. Elena's my entire world and I'll be damned if Silas or anyone gets their hands on my girl ever again! Marcel walks by us shaking his head, I nod thanking him. "We need to get you to a hospital sweetheart." There's a lump in my throat and I look down into Elena's tired eyes that are filled with tears. Placing my hand on her stomach I smile, "Are you the one? Are you pregnant?" She bursts into tears nodding her head, I kiss her. Over and over again I kiss her, I'm going to be a father. Elena and I are going to get to be parents this time and I'm going to make sure that everything goes according to plan. "Are you ok with this?" She whispers, I look at her shaking my head. "Baby, I promise you there is nothing making me more happier right now than knowing that the two of you are safe. I'm more than ok with this Lena, this baby... sweetheart this baby is us." Elena smiles and gives me a tender kiss, I take her hand in mine running my thumb over her engagement ring. "It's the three of us actually, there are two baby Salvatore's in there." I smile as big as I possibly can, she's crying, I'm fucking crying.
I laugh and pick her up swinging her around the lobby of this fucking apartment building. People are everywhere, cops, corners, residents and yet all that I can see is the beautiful woman in my arms. "I love you." She cries through a smile and it makes me love her more. "I love you too Stef." Placing her back to her feet I give her a quick peck on the lips, "Let's get the hell out of here."
