Baby Gilbert-Salvatore | A Delena FanFiction

Chapter Thirty Two: Sam Sommers-Saltzman

Jenna Sommers gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, weighing a small but healthy 7.2, on the seventeenth of December.

At roughly five past eight in the morning, a nurse walked into the corridor and Elena's head shot straight up. The nurse smiled kindly at Jeremy, Elena and Damon and walked towards them. Caroline had taken Annabelle for a few hours to give them some time so the corridors were completely silent.

" You can all come in," the nurse smiled kindly, pointing towards the door to Jenna's room.

" Thank you," Elena sighed, standing and walking towards the room. She peeked her head inside and saw Jenna, covered by a fleece blanket and staring down at a blue bundle. Alaric was gazing over her shoulder, smiling.

" Hey," Elena whispered, walking towards them.

Jenna looked up and smiled. " Hi, Elena."

Elena peeked over her shoulder at the baby, seeing it's chubby face and bright green eyes. " Aw," she grinned, feeling Jeremy and Damon look over her shoulder too.

" This is Sam Sommers-Saltzman," Alaric announced, smiling.

Elena gasped. " He's beautiful."

Jenna smiled up at them. " Would you guys like to hold him?"

Elena nodded and took a seat in the chair next to Jenna's bed. Jenna carefully handed the newborn baby over, and Elena was careful not to hurt the baby, or do anything that May have alarmed inexperienced Jenna. She cradled her cousin gently and bent her neck to kiss his forehead.

" Auntie Elena," Jenna said, smiling.

" Jenna, you don't have to do that," Elena protested.

Jenna shook her head. " He's not going to any other aunties or uncles, Elena. You, Damon, and Jeremy are the only people I have."

Elena couldn't help but see Damon's shocked facial expression when Jenna said his name, but it was quickly covered by a beaming smile.

" Sam," Jeremy said. " He's going to break hearts when he's older."

" If he looks anything like you, that is," Jenna laughed, and everyone joined in.

Elena smiled to herself. She was lucky to have such a beautiful family.

Caroline watched with a smiling face as Klaus cradled Annabelle to his chest, gently muttering to her. She couldn't help but think about what an amazing father he would have been, still could be. She walked over and placed an arm on his back and his posture softened considerably.

" You have a knot," she whispered, beginning to massage stiff circles in his back.

He sighed, dropping his head back. Caroline leaned in and began to kiss a trail from his ear down to his shoulders. Klaus smirked and chuckled lightly, rocking his friends baby carefully. Caroline smiled against the cold skin of his neck, before moving her face away slowly.

" You know," Klaus began, walking towards the portable baby crib, " when I was a young boy, I had to bring up my baby sister." He paused to place Anna in her cot, stroking her face lightly. " By the time Rebekah was born, Elijah was 'too old' to care for her. It had to be me."

Klaus smiled, turning his head to face Caroline who smiled softly back.

" I used to baby sit," Caroline shrugged. " But I don't have any siblings. I've always wished I did though."

Klaus walked towards her, taking her hand. " Lets go to bed, Car."

Caroline nodded and followed Niklaus to their bedroom.

" Miss Sommers, do you want me to show you how to breast feed?" the nurse asked as she entered the room.

Jenna glanced at her niece expectantly, whom nodded. " No, thanks. Elena will show me."

The nurse nodded before leaving the room.

" Okay, so-"

" Ric, I think this is our cue to leave," Damon smirked, elbowing his friend in the rib cage.

Alaric tried to glare at his friend but ended up laughing as they left the room, Elena beginning to instruct Jenna on how to breast feed her newborn. When the were sitting on the bench in the hall, Damon patted Alaric's back.

" I'm happy for you," he said.

" I'm happy for you, too, buddy," Damon's drinking buddy said.

" Seriously. You've come a long way since our days in the Grille," Damon replied, doing that half smirked thing he always did.

" You too, Damon. You too."
