1st Time
"You weren't supposed to put so much of the pancake mix," Bonnie yells at him. "It's only the two of us."
"Unfortunately," Damon said under his breath.
"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here right now," Bonnie reminds him for the tenth time.
"I wish I was somewhere else. Instead of with you bitching about everything," he says, hurling the pancake mix at the wall.
He knows he shouldn't have said it, as she turns her back on him and walks out slamming the door behind her. He fights the urge to run after her but she just really irritated him. His mind wonders to where she might be right now and he begins to worry about what might happen to her, but he takes comfort in knowing that they are the only two people in this damn place.
He makes the pancakes and she was right he had made too much, and they were edible but awful. He places Miss Cuddles in what would be Bonnie's seat.
"So how do you like the pancakes?" he says to the bear.
"They're just perfect," he answers. His eyes bulge. No he could not answer for this bear and the thought of going mad scared him.
He leaves the pancakes on the table but takes the bear with him and gets out the monopoly game. He plays by himself but gets bored. It's been about two hours since she's been gone and looking at this bear is bothering him.
He hears the door slam again and doesn't look up from the board when she comes over to him.
"What are you doing with my bear?" she says snatching it away from the floor.
"Makes better company than you," he answers back.
"I could say the same for you," she retorts.
"You know I don't want to know about your relationship with that bear but I can say it's a step up from Jeremy," he says and Bonnie stares at him as she fights the urge to laugh. She doesn't want to encourage him. If she laughed at this joke it would boost his ego.
"I do not have a relationship with this bear," she replies.
"Like I said I don't want to know," he says, putting his hands up in the air.
There was no need to apologize and they just want went back to living under the same roof.
2nd Time
They had sat down to play Monopoly and it was great way to escape from their circumstance. Bonnie was winning and Damon was not having it.
"Are you kidding me?" Bonnie says. Damon sees that her eyes filled with fury.
"What?" Damon feigns and gulping.
"I saw you," she says.
"Why would you cheat?" she asks him.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you sure you're okay."
"Don't play with me Damon, I saw you."
"Oh," he says rolling his eyes, "I don't understand why we can't just play a game without fighting."
"Put the money back," she says.
"No," he states.
"You're ridiculous," she says, reaching for his paper money.
Damon holds onto the paper money as if it was real cash. Her tiny hands are trying to get at his money and he shoves her lightly and they hear a rip.
"Now look at what you've done," he says angrily at her. "You destroyed the game."
They stare at the ripped paper money and he wants to laugh, but she gets up and leaves
Damn how did she catch me? He thinks.
He hears her come in an hour later and finds her taping the Monopoly money.
3rd Time
"I'm stuck with the most annoying person in the world," he says as he gets some eggs.
Bonnie throws some granola bars on top of his eggs and glares at him.
"You cracked one by the way," he says.
"Stop lying," she says.
"You did. I heard it."
She opens the carton of eggs and of course he's right. "Well we'll just get another one."
"Why don't you get your own cart," he spits out at her. "Why don't you get your own everything?" he screams at her.
She wishes she could have her magic so then she could send him flying with the cart but she doesn't.
"Why don't you just leave, Damon?" she says.
"I would if I could," he says to her.
"I know a way," she says but she decides to keep silent but glances at his ring. "You're the one that's annoying."
"How am I annoying?"
"You really want to go there?" she says, crossing her arms in front of her.
"I don't see why not?"
"First of all everything has to be clean. If I even move an ornament you go ballistic."
"That's not true," he says, "besides better that than being with a slob."
"I am not a slob."
"I didn't say you were."
"You didn't have to," she says.
"Now you are just putting words in my mouth," Damon says, moving down the aisle. He spots some pancake mix and throws it in.
"Would you rather Caroline be here with you?" she asks.
"Yeah I would," he says although he's lying. At least she'd be useful."
"Well, I rather be here with all The Originals than to be here with you," she says, knocking some cans on the floor. She goes and takes a pair of shades and flees before they can pack their groceries together.
"What I meant was," he says to himself, "I wouldn't have to worry about her like I do for you."
Bonnie comes home just in time to make dinner and they sit down quietly.
"So, all the Originals, huh?" Damon asks her.
"Yeah," she says, chuckling. "Except for Kol."
4th Time
They were talking more and more and to say they weren't getting close would be a lie.
"So if you did have a son what would name him?" she asks him, as they wash dishes.
"I would name him Blake." She smiled at that.
"What about your daughter?"
"Oh, that's easy. Sarah."
She sucks her teeth. "What's wrong with Sarah?
"I knew a girl named Sarah. She was mean to everyone."
"Well I like the name so that's what I would name my daughter. I have always thought about having a daughter," and it struck Bonnie. She remained quiet as he opened up. "I just always loved the relationship fathers and daughters have. I would get her everything."
"Damon, that's not good. You would be spoiling her," she states, drying a plate.
"Bonnie," he says and in his eyes she's surprised to see his vulnerability.
"You would be," she says softly.
"You don't know how I've wanted to have-'' but he stops himself. "I shouldn't be telling you this," he says aloud. "Why am I even telling you anything?" he says his voice getting louder.
"She's going to be my daughter and I could give her whatever I want," he tells her "because I can provide."
"Well I sure feel sorry for the mother," Bonnie says. "As for providing you can't even provide the sper-'' she says aware of what she just said.
She hit him right where it hurts and she knows she's wrong. His eyebrows furrow and he's real close to her now. He closes his eyes and starts to count. "10, 9, 8-''
She runs for fear that he might hurt her. She knew she was wrong and she ran to the park.
When he finished counting he said, "Well at least I'm not having Sarah with you."
Kai heard everything and shook his head. "This is better than a soap opera," he says, amazed that those two hadn't killed each other yet.
He stared at his watch and wondered when Bonnie would come back.
Damon sat on the couch nursing a glass of bourbon, thinking about the daughter he would never have.
Bonnie sat on a bench, looking at the empty swing set, feeling guilty about what she said to Damon. She needed to apologize to him, and as much as she hated to do that she would.
Four hours later, Bonnie returned and found Damon sitting on the couch. "Damon, I'm sor-''
"Don't be. You're absolutely right. I won't ever get to have children and I just had this sort of stupid hope that one day…"
"No, I was wrong, Damon," she says. "Sarah and Blake would be a lucky to have you as a father."
