This is a mixture of the books and the t.v show.

Over a century ago Damon made a bargain with a witch, a bargain, which he had not known at the time, would change the course of his existence forever. The deal was simple, she would protect the love of his life from an angry mob who was herding a bunch of vampires into a church in order to kill them. For the life of Damon's love he promised to protect the witch's family for as long as he remained on earth. And Damon kept that promise. For over a Century he protected the McCough family. He watched Emily's children grow and start families of their own, he watched their, and the children that their children had and then he watched their children. He saw them famine and dieses and all of the dieses and virus that took over America in the 1900's. He saw the men safely return home from wars. He even protected them from the simple dangers of life, car accident, falls and the same time robbery. He even saved one from trying to commit suicide. He protected hundreds of them. None of them had as much of an impact on him then little Bonnie, granted she also gave him the most trouble….from the moment she was born.

Damon had followed his little brother back to their home town of Mystic Falls and it was a good thing he did, he was a home for a solid week before he got summoned. The newest McCough was about to be born and she was going to enter this world with a bang. Mary was in labor with her first child and so far the labor was not going well.

"Damon." Mary barely breathed when she saw Damon standing in the door way of her hospital relief.

Damon took note of Mary's appearance, she was pale, paler than usual, sweaty, and she had dark nearly black circles under her eyes. When he walked into her room he saw relief wash over, like for once she truly believed that someone was going to help her. "What can I do Mary?"

"The doctor's say that we are going to have to make a choice soon, that it will either be my life or the baby's, I can't make that choice. I can't bare to live without her and I really want to watch her grow up. Is there anything that you can do?"

Damon really didn't want to do this, but it was the only way he could think of to save them both. He was going to have to give her his blood. This was not something he did often nor did he take this act lightly. "The only to heal you both is to give you my blood."

"I don't care what it take just do it." Mary said in desperation. Damon bit into his wrist and then put it up to Mary's mouth. If she was going to go through with this then she was going to have to be the one to make the move. She grabbed his wrist and drank and drank. She knew that both her and her unborn daughter's life depended on it.

Several hours later a beautiful 7 pound, 8 ounces, 24 inches baby girl was born named Elizabeth (Bonnie) Marie McCough was. Damon waited for the hospital to slow down before he made his way to the nursery to see what Mary wanted so badly. Damon never understood the infinity that people had for babies. As far as he was concerned they were useless and smelly and unnecessarily loud. After quickly charming one of the nurse he found little Bonnie. She was, in fact, the only infant that wasn't crying. She was lying peaceful on her back wrapped in a pink blanket. In spite of the pink hat that covered her head Damon could see that she already had a full head of red hair,

"So you are the one that all the fuss was about." Damon cooed at the infant in his arms. For some unexplainable reason he wanted to hold and protect this child. She was no longer his duty but the only human he actually care for. He found himself making goofy faces at her and doing the God awful baby talk He always that those who participated in such an act had lost all of their senses, he now understood why.

Mary watched from the door at Damon with her daughter and for the first time she was afraid of him. She knew that he would never physical hurt her daughter but she saw what her daughters future would be and Damon was a crucial part of it. He would go from protector, to advisar, friend and then finally lover.

This maybe a series of one shots if people like it.s
