"I can't feel my legs" Aria mumbled, feeling extremely weak.

Without saying anything, Damon picked Aria up in his arms and rushed both of them out of the Travelers camp.

"Who would have thought that collect calls would still be a thing" Kol said through the phone.

"I'm not in the mood Kol" Damon snapped, "How have you guys not found us yet? How long have me and Ria been missing for?".

"Approximately four days" Kol replied.

"So in four days, you idiotic people couldn't track us down?" Damon asked, "What did you think we were on a pre-honeymoon trip?".

"Cut the attitude" Kol snapped, "Me, Caroline, Rebekah and Enzo have been looking for you and Ri 24/7, maybe next time don't get bloody kidnapped and we wouldn't have to spend four days in finding you".

"I hate bunny blood!" Aria yelled, walking back to Damon from the woods, "I'm never doing that again".

"Ri is drinking bunny blood?" Kol asked amused.

"The stupid travelers drained us of our blood and we are surrounded by woods, no humans in sight, so we had to hunt animals" Damon replied.

"Something the babies hate, by the way" Aria said, leaning against the wall and taking deep breaths.

"What's wrong?" Damon asked, looking at Aria in concern.

"The babies are kicking" Aria replied.

"Go sit down Ria" Damon said, "Rest, you need it".

"Gladly" Aria mumbled, going inside the hut her and Damon had found.

"Alright, where are you guys?" Kol asked, "I'll pick you two lovebirds up".

"That's the problem Kol, we have no idea where we are" Damon replied, "It seems like we're in the middle of nowhere, look, me and Ria will hopefully make our way back to you guys before she goes into labor, you guys have a more important issue".

"Something more important then Ri?" Kol asked, "I doubt it, but go on".

"Markos drained nearly all of mine and Ria's blood, with just a little bit of our blood, he was able to do a lot, I'd rather not find out what he can do with a lot of our blood" Damon said.

"Right, kill Markos, and save Mystic Falls, got it" Kol said, "I can't believe your making me play hero".

"I'm not making you do anything, that's all your doing" Damon said, "While you do that, I'm going to make sure Ria and my babies get home safely".

"For the love of god, don't be suicidal" Kol warned, "Get both your asses home safely, I'd really like to be there for Ri's birth, it will suck if she gave birth on the side of a road, but considering they're your babies I won't be so surprised".

"Goodbye, Kol" Damon said, hanging up on an amused Kol.

"You know, normal pregnant women usually rest before they're in labor, not try to hitchhike a ride" Aria complained, as her and Damon walked on the side of the road, trying to get any car to stop and give them a ride, but failing miserably.
