Authors Note:

Hey guys :D so as I'm sure you've read this story is an AU and it will fluctuate between the past and the present. in this AU Damon made it through Bonnie at the end of season five and he and Elena ended up human as well as everyone else who passed through Bonnie. So then Damon and Elena decided that it would be good for them to live out human lives together, because lets be honest… he only wanted to be a vampire to be with Katherine anyway and living eternally without Elena would be pointless. They got married and Elena got pregnant and they moved away from Mystic Falls, their lives almost forgotten. :)

so thats the background you need to know!

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries I'm just taking their characters out for a spin 3

R&R please :) I wanna know your thoughts!

"Come on sweetie!" Elena beamed at her tiny daughter. She was small for the age of six, her wild brown curls looking like an afro from all the moisture in the air from the snow storm.

"I have to wait for Daddy!" Beth squealed.

"You know he is going to be late." Elena scolded her tiny daughter. "Come on lets get those pjs on!"

"I want my footie pajamas." She demanded putting her arms up.

Elena picked her up. "Yes mam." She sat her daughter on her hip and walked to her bedroom. She sat her on her bed and took out her flannel footie pajamas that had tiny Christmas trees on them. "Tis the season." She grinned.

Beth grinned. "yay!"

Elena helped her out of her clothes and into her pajamas, with minimal battle, and a short time of feet tickling and raspberries on her still plump tummy. Elena's heart ached for the time that was sure to come that her chubby daughter would lose her baby weight.

"Time for bed, little one." Elena said turning down her covers.

"No!" She said, her eyes wide. She immediately ran out of the room and down the stairs.

Elena groaned. "Beth!" She got up off the bed and walked after her child.

She got downstairs just to see Beth sitting by the fire clutching her fathers coat. "I don't want to go to bed without Daddy."

Elena looked at her daughters big brown eyes and trembling lips and her heart sunk. "Oh, fine." Elena said scooping her whimpering daughter up. "We will wait for Daddy."

Beth wiped her eyes and smiled big at Elena.

"You love, Daddy, huh?"

Beth nodded. "I do!"

Elena smiled. "Me too."

"I want to see princess Mommy." Beth said insistently. She thought Elena's wedding pictures were her being a princess, this hadn't been the first time she had asked to see them.

Elena nodded and brought out the album.

She sat next to her daughter and sat the album on her lap. Beth gasped pointing to the pictures. "You was so beautiful!" She gushed.

"Thank you." Elena smiled running her fingers over the picture. "Look how handsome Daddy was." Elena beamed, her nose wrinkling.

Beth giggled. "He is prince?"

Elena nodded. "He is indeed. My prince."

A knock came to the door. "Uh oh! Maybe Daddy left his key." Elena hopped up opening the door. "Hey there." She smiled before taking a step back. "I'm sorry I thought you were my husband."

"Is this Damon Salvatores house?" The man at the door asked, his white teeth almost glowing in the moonlight.

"Yes. I'm Mrs. Salvatore, his wife." Elena glanced at her daughter who was kicking her feet and examining the pictures. "I'm sorry, he isn't home."

The man tilted his head to the side and smirked. "Well that is a shame, he wont be here to see me kill his wife."
