Who: Elena and Damon What: Discussing family When: A few days after Damon brought up the discussion on future babies Where: His apartment Status: In progress Rating: TBD
Elena had been thinking on the possibility of future babies since Damon had brought the matter up. They'd discussed it for a few minutes, but before she could truly get warmed up to the idea, he'd pushed the discussion to one side. He tended to do that, it seemed. Whenever she didn't react as he'd hoped, he pulled back a little. Self-defense, she supposed. A way to keep himself from getting hurt.
She wasn't going to let the discussion get pushed to the side forever, though. Not on something so important. Elena had meant what she told him. That she hadn't considered children before, and that she wanted to make sure he wanted the possibility of children as well. Not just for her. Having considered it carefully, she was finally ready to have that discussion. She didn't want kids at that moment, probably not for a few years. But she loved Damon. And she thought she would be with him for years. And if their relationship got to the point where they both wanted kids...she wanted them to have that option.
There were a lot of ifs in their relationship. One day she was going to have to make the decision of whether to stay human or turn vampire, assuming everything went well. And Elena still didn't know what she would decide. But at least one decision had been made. Now all she needed was a Damon to discuss it with. And she needed to think of a way to start the discussion...
