"Andrew"! Elena called for her 10 year old son from the kitchen. She glanced at a picture beside her, it was her honeymoon with her husband Stefan Salvatore. She remembered that day as the worst possible day ever. She even remembered she had to force a smile all day and no one noticed!

"Yeah mom what's up?"Andrew asked as he came down the stairs. Elena looked up to see her precious boy,he looked just like his father. With gorgeous blue eyes and Raven like hair. He only got her nose type and her compassion to give forgiveness,the rest was all like his father.

"Can you do me a huge favor and go up to the attic and get me the expensive plates?"

Andrew groaned before answering. "Are grandma and grandpa coming over for dinner again?"

"Yes they are and you know they like expensive things so".

"Fine". He said as he went back up stairs and another pair of stairs leading to the attic. He opened the door and turned on the lights,he looked around and saw what looked like a million boxes. He groaned at the sight before him. He opened the first box and just saw pictures from his parents wedding. The next box he found had the plates in it. He mentally cheered himself as he picked up the plates. He turned around to leave but knocked down a box. A box full of letters. He quickly fell to his knees and started picking the letters up. But one of them caught his attention. It was addressed to Elena Gilbert as in his mom. He curiously opened the letter, but careful enough not to rip it.

He read the date, it had said May 9,2005. It was exactly 3 years before he was born. He started reading and gasped at the words.

Dear Elena,

I know you said not to call or text you so I'm writing a letter instead. Pretty retro of me isn't it? Anyways I'm writing you this letter because I want you back. I know I made a huge mistake 3 months ago but you have to know that,it wasn't my fault. And I really just have to let you know that I love you. More than anything in the world! So please just take me back and everything can go back the way it was. I really hope I hear from you soon.

Love, Damon Salvatore

Damon?! He thought, as in his favorite uncle and his dad's brother?! What the hell! He just read a letter written from his uncle to his mom saying he loved her?! No he was definitely dreaming. He just had to wake up. He pinched himself but was still in the same spot and position. He pinched himself harder but nothing happened. Oh God, was this real? Just him thinking about his mom and uncle banging made him want to puke everywhere. He had to know more. He picked up another letter and read the date. August 23,2008. Just a few months after he was born. Andrew read the letter as tears started forming in his eyes.

Dear Elena,

I just found out you gave birth to a baby boy. I wanted to say congratulations and the best of luck. But I know he's mine. You and Stefan never did it and we did. But I know you'll never let me near him and probably get a restraining order so I'm not going to push it. I just want you to name him after me. Just a little something to remember me by. That's all I ask for. But since I know you're still pissed at me you're not going to do it but if you do change your mind. Damon Andrew Salvatore, thats my full name so use something and make a name for him. He's probably as beautiful as his mother or as gorgeous as his father. Either way I'm pretty sure we made a pretty good looking baby. And one more favor, give him a kiss for me.

Forever Yours, Damon

Andrew couldn't believe what he just read. His uncle was his real dad. He had been lied to all his life and he couldn't take it. He picked up the letter and marched down stairs as tears started falling down his cheek.

He found his mom making roasted chicken in the kitchen.

"Oh hey Andrew did you find the plates?" She asked as she looked down at her son. Then she noticed he'd been crying. "Oh honey what's wrong?" She asked as she wiped his tears from his cheeks.

"This is what's wrong!" He pulled up the letter in her face and her eyes widened.

"Where did you get that?" Elena asked breathlessly.

"In the attic, there was a box filled with letters in it!"

"Look let me explain" . She motioned him to sit with her at the dining table and he complied.

"Ok then tell me! Tell me why you were lying to me my whole damn life!"

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything". He answered silently. "I want to know everything".

Elena nodded her head in response as tears were forming in her chocolate chip eyes. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"I remember it perfectly".

"Even after all those years?" He asked

"Yes because they were the greatest moments of my life".

"How did it start?"

"It all started with a letter". She said smiling and remembering her best moments.
