AN: Hey, so this is my first story that I have written for this fandom. So please try to take it easy on me. First of all I wanted to point some things out. This story is going to take place after Season Five but it won't follow Season Six. So don't expect to see what's happening in the new season in this story. Secondly this is a Damon/OC story, so if you're a Damon/Elena shipper, you probably wont want to read this story and that's fine but if you choose to read this story anyway, then I hope you enjoy. I also realize that this type of story may have been done before but before you start flaming me. I hope you will give this story a shot. Now I hope you will enjoy this story and if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to leave them in a review or PM me.
Disclaimer: Now I'm only going to do this once. I don't own TVD or any of its characters or anything that you may recognize from the show. That includes the dialogue (especially the one used in the beginning of this chapter). I also don't own the quote in this chapter. The only thing I own is my OC and any other character that you don't recognize from the show.

Because just maybe you weren't ready the first time~
"You lied to me," Elena said crying, looking in the direction in which she thought Damon was standing.
"Even if I wanted to apologize," Damon says as he brushes Elena's hair back. "You can't hear me, so I won't," Damon says as he looks at Elena crying.
"Please don't leave me," Elena says as through her tears.
"I don't have a choice baby," Damon softly says.
Damon looks at Elena trying to cherish this final moment with her.
"You are by far the greatest thing to ever happen to me in my one hundred and seventy three years on this earth," he says not making a move to comfort her, knowing it would only make things worse. "The fact that that I get to die knowing that I was loved… not just by anyone but by you… Elena Gilbert… is the epitome of a fulfilled life."
Elena slides down to the ground in tears, sobbing.
"It's never going to get any better than this," Damon says as he crouches down in front of her. "I peaked."
Damon caresses Elena's face, feeling his heart break for the girl he is in love with.
"I love you… Elena," Damon says knowing it's going to be the last time that he will be able to tell her, even if she can't hear him.
"Please. Please come back to me," Elena pleads, not being able to see Damon but knowing that he can hear her.
Damon sadly watches Elena plead him to come back, knowing that there's nothing he can do to fulfill it.
"Bye," he softly whispers before disappearing and leaving a sobbing Elena behind in the crypt.
The wind is roughly blowing as Damon finds Bonnie on the Other Side.
As he's walking to stand beside her the ground begins to shake, "This place is going down isn't it?"
"It is," Bonne simply answers.
"I'm sure there are a million people we'd rather be with right now," Bonnie says as she looks at Damon, before grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers.
"A couple thousand at most," Damon answers looking down at their hands, before looking back at Bonnie.
As the wind begins to pick up and a bright light appears, they both look forward awaiting what's to come.
"Do you think it'll hurt?" Bonnie questions as the light begins to get brighter.
"I don't know-," Damon begins to say but is cut off as the light shines really bright and it engulfs them.
Damon woke up gasping for air. Before sitting up with his back against the headboard. He rubbed his face before running his hands through his hair. Looking around he didn't recognize the room he was currently in.
Hearing a door knob rattle, Damon watched as a dark haired woman made her way out of the bathroom. Carrying a small pile of clothes, before dumping them into them into the hamper in the corner of the room.
His eyes snapped towards her face when she turned around.
"Hey. You're awake," She said as she smiled, before walking towards the bed.
"You're pregnant," Damon blurted out as he saw her rest her hand on her showing belly.
"I've only been this way for the last eight and a half months babe," she said softly laughing. "Did it barely hit you that we're going to be parents?"
Damon didn't know what was going on. Vampires couldn't reproduce. Yet he was staring at her pregnant belly, while trying to figure out an explanation. That's when his eyes zeroed in on the rings on her left hand. Seeing the engagement ring and wedding band had him quickly looking at his own hands.
He noticed he was only wearing a wedding band and no daylight ring. Yet the curtains were wide open letting the sunshine pour into the room and he wasn't burning to ashes.
"Are you feeling okay?"
Damon looked up at the strange woman whose name he didn't even know. Who turned out was his wife and was pregnant with his baby.
"Yeah I'm fine," he lied not wanting to let on to how he was really feeling.
"Are you sure?" she asked as she looked at him in concern.
"Yeah I'm sure," Damon quickly said. "Why?"
"You're just acting strange."
"Had a weird dream is all," he said hoping she wouldn't question him any further.
She looked like she didn't believe him before shaking her head and softly smiling at him.
"Ok. Well you have to take a shower and get ready so we're not late to our doctor's appointment."
He numbly nodded pulling the sheets away, while still trying to figure out what was going on.
"I'll be downstairs making breakfast. So try to hurry ok?"
He nodded as he watched her walk out the room.
He didn't know how he got here. Shouldn't he cease to exist? Last time he checked he had died. That dream has been his reality. He and Bonnie had gone down with the Other Side.
Bonnie. He didn't know what had happened to her. Was it possible that she was here, wherever here was, as well?
AN: So there you have it. The first chapter of this story. Please let me know whether I should continue it or not because I don't want to continue to write this if no one is interested in reading. So please review to let me know. If I see that there's is a lot or a good amount of interest in this story then I will post the next chapter soon where you will learn the mystery woman's name and what happened to Bonnie.
