An: I know yet another story but when it enters my head, I just think why not just write it down :) Also i get the feeling i have an obsession for writing Damon and Bonnie angst. Is that a bad thing?
Chapter one: Mommy
Damon hadn't seen Bonnie since he broke her heart 5 years ago. It had been his biggest regret dumping Bonnie to marry Elena. The image of her disappointed and shattered expression the day he told her, still haunted him.
"Hey Damon just packed the last suitcase. I can't believe your taking me to Rome. I've never really left Mystic falls so if I'm acting a little too excited sorry. Be nice having some time away from stelena too. I swear wherever we go these days, there they are. I love em to death but seriously if they cock block us one more time I'm gonna stake them both."
Damon moved into the room face down and body sluggish. His voice broke and squeaked as he began to tell her what he needed to say.
"Little witch please sit down."
"Oh Damon's serious face that's a rarity. You okay?" she jibed playfully as they always did.
"I love you so much you know that right? We have such a special bond and you are important to me."
"Okay now you're scaring me. Just tell me what's wrong?"
"Stefan broke up with Elena. He said he'd had enough of the way she looked at me."
"Oh I see. I know where this is going Damon." she said biting her bottom lip and fighting tears. Damon moved to cuddle her but she was up off her feet and moving to open her bedroom door before he could touch her.
"You know your way out Damon. Go!" She held her head high. She would not whine, beg or cry for him. She was better than that.
"Bonnie please! Just talk to me. I need to be a part of your life. Being with Elena won't change the fact you're my best friend, my confidant. The type of love I have for you may just be different to what I thought it was. I... it's just you know how long I loved her. It was to the point it burned. It killed me to know i could never be with her and that my feelings were rejected by her. But now she wants me Bonnie she really wants me." He said with disbelief.
"Yeah but when you started dating me you said you were done with lusting after her. It was one of the only reasons I EVER said yes to being with you. If I knew I was second best in your head I wouldn't have been with you for even a millisecond. I feel dirty and sick now."
"No don't say that please. Elena and I didn't do anything together yet. Not even kiss. I haven't cheated on you Bonnie. I would never do that to you. I wanted to tell you before we started anything together because I respect you and care about you. I want to remain close to you Bonnie. The time we spent together wasn't some sleazy affair I promise you." He shook her in desperation. "Never believe that it was anything less than special. But Bonnie she wants to give me a chance. I have to take it. I yearned for this for so long. It's been a dream all this time.
"Well I hope the dream matches up in reality Damon. Good luck and good bye."
"Bonnie please. I'm in no hurry um to leave i um why don't I just stay here with you for a while. We'll just sit. We'll just be."
"ego eripio vestri invitation" Bonnie muttered her emerald eyes glimmering. With that Damon found himself outside Bonnie's front door, banging on it to get in.
Elena soon drove up in her red car beeping the horn.
Damon abruptly came to the window frowning. "What the fuck? stop hooting the horn. Go talk to her. Make her see we didn't mean to hurt her and that we are still a part of her life."
"Damon she won't listen, not now. I know Bonnie. We'll come back tomorrow when she has time to calm down. Damon huffed going near the window to Bonnie's bedroom and shouting.
"We'll be back tomorrow Bonnie. I swear. You won't get rid of us that easily. Me, you Stefan and Elena we'll be okay I promise."
But the next day when Damon and Elena turned up at the Bennet residence, all traces of Bonnie Bennet were gone. That was the last day that either of them saw Bonnie and shortly after her departure, Stefan disappeared as well. From that moment on, Elena and Damon were all alone. They married with two strangers for witnesses and began their lonely life together, both regretting the day they gave up Bonnie and Stefan.
And here Damon was now, breaking out of his thoughts. Damon stood outside the Salvatore manor. It was a sunny hot day in July as Damon looked anxiously down the road, waiting for the car that held his happiness and true love. Yes Bonnie was returning to Mystic falls for the marriage of Tyler and Caroline. They were having a double wedding with Jeremy and Rose. It had all been so much chaos as Rose tried to drag Damon into the wedding organising party. All he ever heard these days were Caroline and Rose whining about dresses and centre pieces.
Caroline constantly frowned stating that "if Bonnie were here this would all be done in 5 minutes". So here she was, coming to sort her best friend's dilemmas out. Damon had never been so happy to know Caroline. Elena was playing bridesmaid for Rose as well, but Caroline hissed every time she was in the vicinity. For Damon, Caroline reserved her best glares and violent threats too.
Damon's thoughts again drifted to the love he let slip way as he bit his bottom lip and tapped his foot eagerly. Why was he always doing this? He never knew how good he had it till he fucked it up. It was the same with his relationship with Stefan. Until Katherine was finally revealed to never have been in the tomb, he didn't realise how amazing their brotherly bond had once been. Then it was too late to do anything about it. In any case Damon didn't have a clue where Bonnie had been the last 5 years or where Stefan had left for, for that matter. He lived every day in worry. He lost sleep over whether they were alive, happy and safe. He paced nervously, eyes lighting up then dying down as every car past didn't hold Bonnie in it. He was about to turn and go back inside when he saw it. A huge land rover zoomed its way up into the Salvatore driveway and to the front door.
Damon's heart beat out of his body and sweat pooled on his black messy locks. The wind blew his hair in into his icy eyes. It also made his grey long sleeve t-shirt cling to his well defined abs. He stood there like a boy nervous about his first date. Soon the front driver's seat opened. The first thing he saw was a pair of caramel, slender legs stepping elegantly onto the pavement. They were enveloped in red stiletto heels. Bonnie gracefully excited the car. Her chocolate curls were now down to her hips full and bouncy. She had a red and orange flower in her hair. He cheeks were rosy pink and her lips buttery soft, moist and tinted pink too. Her face still had the youth of a 17 year old but her curves had developed giving her fuller breasts. It all made her a sexy and grownup woman. She wore a red velvet bodycon dress that was heart shaped. It had mesh stripes at the top covering her chest and arms leaving a little to the imagination, but just enough to get you hooked. She was a vision and Damon gulped hard even finding himself checking if he looked okay for her. Her eyes caught the sunlight revealing the gold flicks in her emeralds eyes. Her makeup made her look fresh and glowing like an angel. She stayed like that a minute, eyes closed and long black eyelashes fluttering, as she took in the heat of the sun.
Bonnie smiled that heart warming smile and Damon filled with hope that it was for him, that was until she ran straight past him to Caroline's awaiting arms. They both started yelping in excitement. But what came next shocked him even more if that were even possible. The passenger seat flew open revealing none other than...
"Stefan" Damon gasped in relief and shock.
There he stood tall and smart. His head held high and better than he'd ever looked. He looked genuinely happy, no wrinkled forehead and he had a cocky swagger to his walk. He had the confidence and bravery of a lion. He also seemed unaffected by Damon's presence. Stefan lifted his shades down his nose and gave his brother a detached look before putting them back on. Then suddenly it happened, Damon's next shock. The back doors flew open and all Damon saw were two pairs of tiny feet wriggling expectantly. He heard sweet giggles and excited, soft, gurgling, little voices.
"Uncle stef uncle stef hurry and get these seatbelts off pweeeeeeese. I wanna see you're housey and play with you, mummy and this auntie Caroline you've been talkin bout" Sang a little girl with deep brown hair, slightly tanned skin and emerald eyes.
"Yeah yeah uncle Stef come on put the pedal to the metal bro" hollered a little boy with aviator shades and a brown leather jacket that matched Stefan's. His hair was slightly more reddish brown than the girls. His eyes were greenish grey too.
"Aright let's go my lovely's." said Stefan gleefully.
"Whoop whoop" screamed the baby girl
"Yay I love when you carry us" yelled the boy wrapping his little arms round Stefan's neck and rubbing his nose against Stefan's affectionately. The little girl then placed her little head against Stefan's chest sucking her thumb happily, before Stefan swooped them both up in his arms zooming them around like they were in a plane. They looked about 3 or 4 but very smart for their age and extremely tiny.
Caroline screamed behind Damon. "Is this them? Are these my god children? OMFG they are gorgeous Bonnie. No I'd go as far as to say they are stunning. Eeeeek I can't wait to buy them stuff. Since i can't have kids you know being a vamp, these two are gonna get extra spoilt. Tyler will want to have a BBQ in their honour tonight as well. Oh and I wanna talk to you about how it is to have witchy kiddies. They must run circles around you?"
"mommy mommy" they both drawled out cutely. "Is this the famous Aunt Caroline you and papa bear slash uncle steffie always talks about?"
"She's fit" commented Aiden nodding his head. "And what's this about a BBQ? Mmmm yummy I like meat meat and more meat oh and fries oh oh you got nachos!"
"Looks like someone's gonna be a strong heartbreaker when he's older" said Stefan and Caroline in unison. They both ran to engulf each other in a hug straight after. It had been so long and they still thought on the same wave length.
"And yes i am indeed your aunt Caroline." She turned to the little ones. Caroline hugged and kissed them as they groaned in embarrassment. They then turned back to play with Stefan's hair and kiss him.
"Mummy?" they turned to the man who made the shaky noise "mummy?" Damon said again "Uncle Stefan?" He asked confused.
"Don't worry Damon remember vampires can't have children. Their father is a warlock, powerful one at that." Bonnie said face indifferent at the sight of him. She walked past turning to smile at Stefan and her babies.
Stefan walked past Damon as well. The little girl smiled cutely at Damon while waving her little hand. Her green eyes sparkled and her straight, deep, brown hair fell over her eyes. But the boy turned to Stefan. "Is this your bro 'dorky'?"
"Yeah that's my former brother 'Damon'." Stefan tried not to giggle at Aiden's nickname for Damon.
The boy hissed at Damon "you stay away from Uncle Stefan! You hurt him you deal with me! Same goes for my mama and my sister Alyssa!"
Stefan chuckled and little Aiden's boldness. "Come along now Aiden. What has your mother told you about your temper?"
He shrugged and pouted cutely. "She said she loves my protective natures." He nodded adamantly, cheekily smiling at Stefan.
"Yes we both do indeed but your protective natures (he mocked the little ones use of words) kicked your mum's last boyfriend in the groin. Not that I'm opposed to you doing that to Damon but...
"Really?" Aiden wriggled excitedly, kicking his converse clad feet towards Damon. Stefan continued to hold him in his arms, laughing on the inside. Bonnie, little Alyssa and Aiden had been the best thing to enter his life. There wasn't a moment the three didn't make him smile. Truthfully he thought of them all as his family, His to love, look after and protect. They were also different like him. The three of them were all witches and Stefan vampire. They accepted one another and didn't have to hide anything from each other.
"Let me at him" Aiden leaned over Stefan's shoulder as Stefan walked into the house. He then made a sign with his fingers. Pointing them at his eyes then at Damon. "I'll be watching you dorky!"
"Come on Aiden leave the pale dude alone." whispered little Alyssa softly. "Let's go explore the house!" She exclaimed, holding her brothers hand and kissing his cheek.
"Yeah you show us your room uncle Steffi?"
"Of course"
"And we have our own rooms too that's so cools" Alyssa clapped her hands together. Stefan took them in his hands planting a kiss on each as she laughed uncontrollably at his gesture.
"Hey mommy mommy" they called once in the house. Their little mouths were in tiny o shapes taking in their massive surroundings. It was clear on their faces they were keen to explore.
"Yes lovely's" Bonnie smiled adoringly at them. She had not even noticed Damon was following less than a step behind her, trying to get a word in but failing miserably.
"Nothing mummy bear just love ya" they blew her a kiss before going with Stefan straight into the attic to investigate.
Damon stood near Bonnie still stunned. Bonnie had a family now. She'd moved on and was so happy. She did not seem bothered or affected by seeing him at all. It worried him. It was better she hate him than feel nothing at all for him. Who was Aiden and Alyssa's father as well? And had Stefan been with them the whole time? The kids seemed to worship Stefan. Damon knew now he had more than just to prove to Bonnie he made a mistake and loved her. He had more than just to show Stefan that he missed and loved him too. Damon could see from the little boy in particular, he had to charm them the most to win Bonnie and Stefan's approval. This is gonna be tougher than I thought. What was I thinking? That I could just smirk, be charming and all would be forgiven and what's with that boy Aiden? He gives me a run for my money in the mischievous department. I do admire that in a person even if that person is a baby. Aiden sure has his mother's fiery side and I can sense her humour. But that little mini girl has her sweet innocent side. Will they ever like me? Damon shook his head already in defeat. But he was Damon Salvatore he could do this.
TBC: I thought about Stefan being the father and Bonnie and him having a relationship but where would that leave Damon? We'll find out more about the father later. For now look forward to Aiden and Alyssa giving Damon hell but he'll love them with all his heart as time goes on. Bonnie is strong in this. She won't whine or cry at the sight of Damon but he's gonna work hard to make everything up to her and Stefan. Its gonna be tough for him as Bonnie, the babies and Stefan are a tight unit. Please review it means a lot and thank you to all that do :) and I swear I'm working on updating all my stories :)
