Imarina's POV

It's been six days since Klaus left town. He told Jackson and I to remain her. To watch Stefan while he watches Elena. Jackson and I moved into my old room at the Salvatore house. Stefan is being a dick without his humanity. Partying, drinking blood and booze. Honestly Jackson thinks we should get our own place and I'm starting to agree with him.

We go downstairs to see two dead girls on the Persian rug. And Stefan playing twister with a few bloody girls. "Hey, the two brunettes on the staircase owe me a Persian rug" Damon tells Stefan as he appears.

"You mean, they owe us a Persian rug? It's my house, too, brother. Ooh! Would you like a spin?" Stefan asks offering him spinner.

"Honestly Stefan, I'm twenty six weeks pregnant I can't have dead humans in the house I'm living in" I tell him annoyed.

"So this is what Klaus had in mind when he compelled you to protect Elena?" Damon asks him.

"These ladies are helping me be all that I can be" Stefan tells him. "You don't have to be here Imarina" he tells me.

"Actually I do, I protect your blood line and Klaus ordered me to watch you" I remind him.

"And I go where ever she goes" Jackson adds wrapping his arms around me. Someone knocks on the door. Damon goes to answer it and soon returns with Rebekah.

"He left me here. My brother actually left me here" she rants.

"He left us too" I tell her.

"She's Klaus' sister?" Damon asks. Jackson and I nod our heads.

"Rebekah. Pleasure, I'm sure. Which one's my room?" Rebekah asks.

"You're not staying here" Stefan tells her. She then looks at Damon but he doesn't say anything. She looks at Jackson and I.

"It's their house" I tell her sheepishly. Though it would be nice to have another girl around the house.

"I'll see to it myself" she states and goes upstairs.

"So I guess she's staying here" Stefan states.

"Looks that way" Jackson agrees. "Anyway I'm taking Imarina out for breakfast and the day. This mess had better be cleaned up by the time we return" he tells the Salvatores. Before we left the house. "So I found a house, it'll be perfect for us. No vampires allowed, perfect for raising a family. It's just outside town" he tells me.

"You were serious about getting our own place?" I ask as he drives us to the grill.

"Yes, I don't want you surrounded by dead people all the time. We're going to be parents soon and we need a real home" he tells me matter of factly.

"I know, but I want it to be safe from everyone. A place no one can find" I tell him.

"I know a witch we can trust, she'll do a spell to hide the house. We can have a normal life for a few years" he tells me.

"What just forget our responsibilities as werecat protectors?" I ask him.

"I know it goes against what we are, but my charge is daggered and yours isn't in town. Why not forget everything for as long as possible?" he asks me.

"It sounds great" I tell him. We reached the grill and go in ordering breakfast. "So tell me about this house you found" I tell him.

"It's two story, with an attic and basement. There's a big tree out the back, perfect for a tree house. We could get a pool" he tells me. "It could use a bit of TLC, but I think it'll be perfect for house" he states.

"I look forward to seeing it" I tell him. We finish breakfast and pay the bill. Before he drives us to the house. I notice the dead lawn and trees. "A little TLC?" I ask him.

"It's be perfect, just come with me" he tells me. He leads me inside. He gives me a tour of the house. It doesn't seem to need much done inside. A fresh coat of paint, new floors, electrical things and furniture. Bathroom needs remodeling though.

"Are you sure we'll have the money to renovate?" I ask him as we go outside.

"We have more then enough money. Thanks to the account Elijah gave me and the money you got from Klaus" he assures me. "Each baby can have their own room growing up. We could even get a dog" he tells me. "Do you like it?" he asks me.

"I love it" I tell him and kiss him.

"Good, because I already brought it" he tells me.

"Of course you did" I say chuckling. "When can we move in?" I ask him.

"Not until after the babies arrive I'm afraid. The renovations start tomorrow. We just need to choose colours and want floors we want today. Along with the fridge, dish washer, over and washing machine" he tells me. "Then we need to pick out furniture and the rest of the essentials over the next ten days" he sates.

"Lets start then" I tell him. We sit down at the kitchen counter and start to pick things out. A contractor came by and collected the paper work. She assured us the house would be ready as soon as possible and that she'll keep us updated on the progress.

"It got lot quick, we should get you back to the house and get some food into you" Jackson tells me. I notice the sun is setting. I nod my head noticing how hungry I am. We returned to the boarding house to find it empty. "That's strange, I wonder where everyone is?" he muses.

"What's the date?" I ask him.

"September 6th, why?" he asks me.

"Caroline sent me a text about a bon fire tonight" I tell him. "I told her I won't be going due to my pregnancy. That's where Stefan and Damon most likely are with Rebekah" I state. He nods his head and makes us dinner.

(Time skip)

We're relaxing watching a movie, when I have a vision of Stefan in danger. "Stefan's in danger" I tell Jackson. "At the school in the parking lot" I tell him.

"I'll go, but stay here" he tells me. I nod my head and he kisses me before leaving. I clean up the kitchen and decide to have a shower.

(School) Jackson's POV

I reach the school and see a car on fire. With Elena and Stefan inside. Alaric trying to open the door. "Move" I tell him and grab the handle ignoring the pain. I rip the trunk door off the car. I grab Stefan and throw him out. Then grab Elena pulling her out. Alaric grabs Stefan and we hurry away from the car. Which explodes.

"Thank you" Elena tells me as I put her down.

"I didn't do it for you, I did it for Imarina" I tell her. "She protects the Salvatores and she can't go running into danger pregnant" I state. "Lets go Stefan" I say and we leave. "You ok?" I ask him.

"Yeah, thanks for coming" he mumbles. "But I could of go out by myself" he states.

"Ungrateful prick" I growl. He ignores me and we walk back to the house. Where we find Elena talking to Alaric as they go to leave. They must of drove here in the others car.

"Well you got me tonight. Definitely wasn't expecting that" Stefan tells them.

"That was the point" Alaric tells him.

"Yeah. You know, you can hate it all you want, but Elena needs me. I'll always protect her. I think you're both better off having me around" Stefan tells them.

"I have to go check on my mate" I state and leave them. I go to our room. To see her asleep on the bed. I smile and go have a shower. Before joining her on the bed. Holding her close.

"Stefan ok?" she asks tiredly.

"He's alive" I tell her.

"Something tells me it's not over yet" she tells me.

"We'll worry about it tomorrow, for now sleep" I tell her. She nods her head. Snuggling into me falling asleep. I soon join her, oblivious to what was happening downstairs.
