A third idea is that the baby goes missing. This would send Damon and Elena on a desperate search. Along the way, they would discover secrets about their own families and the world of the supernatural that they never knew before. As they search for their baby, they would also have to deal with their own relationship issues, like how to trust each other during such a difficult time.
Another plot could be centered around the baby's upbringing in a world full of supernatural beings. Damon and Elena might struggle with how to raise the baby in a way that it can fit into both the human and supernatural worlds. They could face challenges like finding the right school or dealing with other vampires who might not be so accepting of a half - vampire baby. Maybe they would have to move to a new place to keep the baby safe.
Perhaps the baby girl gets kidnapped by an old enemy of Damon's. This enemy thinks that by taking the baby, they can get revenge on Damon. Elena then teams up with Damon's brother Stefan to rescue their daughter. Along the way, they discover secrets about Damon's past that he has been hiding from Elena, and this discovery could either strengthen or strain their relationship while they are desperate to get their baby girl back.
One idea could be that Damon is initially terrified of becoming a father but then gradually embraces the role as he sees Elena's excitement. Another could be that they face threats from the supernatural world because of the unborn child, like vampires or witches who want to use the baby's power. Maybe there's a prophecy about their child that causes all kinds of chaos in their lives.
One idea could be that when Elena first meets Damon, he saves her from a dangerous supernatural creature in a very unexpected way. This could set a different tone for their relationship from the start, with Elena being more curious and less afraid of Damon initially.
One idea could be that they face challenges from the vampire and werewolf communities. Since their relationship was already complex in the show, this pregnancy could stir up more trouble. Another plot could be them trying to keep the pregnancy a secret while preparing for the arrival of the baby. They might have to deal with issues like finding a safe place to raise the child in a world full of supernatural threats.
Well, perhaps the story could revolve around how their relationship changes with the new addition. They might struggle to balance their love for each other and their newfound parental responsibilities. For example, Damon's wild side might need to be tamed a bit more as he becomes a father, and Elena has to deal with the stress of being a mother in a world full of danger.
One possible plot could be that they face many challenges in raising the baby. Maybe there are threats from the supernatural world that target their child. Damon, with his protective nature, would be on high alert all the time, while Elena uses her compassion to raise the baby in a loving environment.
The baby could also be a way to explore the more human side of Damon. He has always been a bit of a bad boy, but with a baby, he might become more nurturing. Caroline, on the other hand, could be the strict but loving mother. Their different parenting styles could lead to some humorous and heartwarming moments in the fanfiction.
One idea could be that the baby has special powers due to Kol and Elena's unique heritages. For example, it might be able to control both vampire and witch magic in a new way. Another plot could involve the baby being a target by various supernatural forces who either want to use its power or destroy it out of fear. And perhaps the baby's existence could bring about a new era of peace or chaos in the supernatural world, depending on how it's raised and the choices it makes as it grows up.
One idea could be that they travel back to a time when the founding families first made the deal with the vampires. They could try to change the terms to prevent all the future chaos. Another could be traveling to a time when they first met, but with their current knowledge and feelings, and seeing how that alters their relationship from the start.
One plot idea could be that they finally give in to their feelings during a dangerous situation. Maybe they are trapped in a place together, and the fear and adrenaline make them realize how much they truly care for each other. Another idea is that it's a very slow - burn moment, after many shared secrets and tender moments, they decide to take the next step. It could also be a situation where they are trying to comfort each other after a big loss in their lives, and that leads to their first time.
