9 Moths of Hell Chapter 1

9 Months of Hell Chapter 1 Sickness and Finding Out

The morning rays light up the Salvatore boarding house as the sun rose in the sky. The warm rays softly touched the sleeping figures on the bed, waking them up from their slumber. Katherine sat up with a jolt, a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. 

She didn't know how she ended up in the bathroom, head over the toliet bowl and heaving like there was no tomorrow. After she was sure that her entire stomach was in the murky water, she laid back on the cold tile. The coldness felf good on her suddenly warm skin. 

Damon entered the washroom after he heard his wife pucking up a lung and sat down next to her, stroking her face softly. "You ok?" 

Katherine nodded. "Yes I am. Must've been something I ate."

Damon nodded as he helped Katherine to her feet and walked downstairs while supporting her. Suddenly, Katherine jerked out of Damon's hold and glared ice cold daggers at him. "I don't want your help Damon! I can take care of myself!"

Damon was taken aback by this sudden change in attitude. Usually it took alot to get Katherine mad at him, so why was she so pissed now when he didn't do anything except help her?

Katherine stormed angrily down the stairs and ripped a blood bag from the fridge. She ripped off the plastic and began drinking from the tube. Damon walked into the kitchen with a glare on his face. "What was that?"

Katherine stopped drinking and looked at him. "What was what?" she asked nicely.

"You just told me to not help you, and now you're being nice to me? What's up with you today?"

Damon immeditately regretted that action as Katherine's eyes filled up with tears and she started to cry.

"Kathy? Katherine I'm sorry." Damon didn't know what to do. His anger disappated and he took Katherine into his arms. 

Katherine cried softly in Damon's arms. she didn't know what was happening. One minute she's pissed and then as if someone turned flipped a switch, she was crying. She's been feeling sick for a week now, but she tried to hide it from Damon so he wouldn't worry. The mood swings were new to her. 

Damon softly ran his hands through Katherine tangled hair and sighed. "Kathy?"

Katherine looked up at him, a few tears shining in her eyes. She loved his little nickname he called her. Damon wiped away the remaining tears with the pads of his thumbs. "If this is some sort of woman thing your going through, then you should go see Elena and see what's wrong."

Katherine's face changed within a second, red eyes burning Damon and teeth barred. "Oh, so you think it's some sort of woman thing huh? Am I suddenly too hard for you to handle so you have to send me to some pathetic human for help?" Damon feel his cheek burn as her hand connected with his face. "Screw you Damon."

Damon stood in the empty kitchen, shell shocked as to what just happened. What the hell? He rubbed the spot where Katherine slapped him. "I can't believe I'm doing this." Damon shook his head to himself as he went to go find Stefan, the last person he would talk to about this but right now he needed help.


Stefan came in through the door after a long hunting session. He saw Damon sitting on the couch, a bottle of whisky in hand. Stefan knew his brother was troubled, it was plain as day on his face. "What's wrong with you?" asked Stefan, walking closer to him.

Damon rolled his eyes and sighed. "It's Katherine."

Stefan looked at his brother with surprise. He and Katherine were like two evil peas in a pod, what kind of problem could they have? "What do you mean?"

Damon stood up from the couch with a frusterated look on his face. "She's been  more moodier then usual and this morning she threw up."

"She's probably sick Damon."

"Vampires can't get sick!" snapped Damon.

Stefan's eyes widened. "Either that or she's..."

Damon was getting impatient with his brother's stalling. "Or she's what?"

"Pregnant."

Damon rolled his eyes. "That's impossible Stefan. Vampires can't get pregnant."

Stefan chuckled. "Well, with you anything can happen."

"Ha ha." replied Damon dryly. 

"So where is Katherine anyways?"

"Last I heard she was gonna go see your girlfriend."

"Elena?" Stefan said, surprised. "why would she want to go see her?"

"Well, I'm the one who thought of the idea because Elena might be able to help. But as soon as I suggested it she got mad and took off."

"So you're assuming that she's at Elena's?"

"Ah, don't worry. She'll turn up eventually. And when she does I'm going to figure out why she's acting this way."

Stefan sighed as he watched his brother drink the rest of his whiskey. "Damon, it sounds like she's pregnant to me."

"And that's impossible." Damon raised his eyebrows at his brother and went off in search for more alcohol.

Stefan shook his head at brother. He knew he was thinking the same thing, despite how unlogical it may sound. 


A sharp knock at the door startled Elena who was eating cereal. She got up and went to the door and opened it, not expecting to see her twin on the other side. "Oh Katherine, hi." Elena smiled uneasily at her, knowing that her boyfriend Stefan has alot of history with her. 

"I need your help." Katherine said bluntly, seeing the shocked look cover Elena's face.

"Help with what?" asked Elena as she stepped aside to let Katherine in since she had already been invited.

"Something is wrong with me, Elena. I'm throwing up in the mornings and everytime Damon says something to me I either yell at him for no reason or I break down and cry for no reason."

Elena's eyes widened when she realized what she meant. "I think I know what's wrong with you but we have to be sure that it's that."

Katherine looked at Elena confused. Elena quickly ran to the bathroom and came back with a stick. "I need you to take this and go into the bathroom and urinate on it."

"What?" Katherine looked at Elena like she lost her mind. 

"Just trust me." Elena persisted.

Katherine reluctantly took the stick from Elena and went into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came back out and held the stick up to Elena that showed a small plus sign. "Ok, now what?"

Elena quickly took the stick from Katherine and looked at it in amazement. She looked back up to Katherine, eyes bluging as she stared at the results of the pregnancy test. "You're pregnant, Katherine."
