The family endures
The Vampire Diaries

Damon POV

When I was a human who had the greatest dream was to marry with Katherine and have children, 2 or 3 children who could continue the family legacy, but when I became a vampire that flew out the window and feeling the pain of loneliness was much bigger than anything.
It took almost 50 years for me to meet my younger brother Stefan but things did not go well at all and had to spend much more time to discover that he was not alone, my brother would always by my side even with this always have the responsibility to look after. For many years I dedicated myself to be the evil vampire fun that Sage had taught to live.
It was the fall of 2009 when my life was the change for 162 years I was looking for the mysterious Elena Gilbert twice of Katherine appeared on my way, Stefan and I came to live together again and most complex of all also appeared ... I mean, Jeffrey.
You know being a vampire has the advantage that you can get to know your whole family over the centuries and be there to help and support when needed. Jeffrey is my nephew (as Stefan nephew to) is 16 and arrived in town without a memory of his life.
Stefan and Elena found the child on the road, he was shot and wounded, when Stefan brought it home I was having fun with Vickie, my desire to hurt Stefan took me to heal the child in my blood and make it almost as a vampire Vickie but there was something in his eyes that stopped me, I always feel a connection between the 2.
As the child could not remember his name, I call Damy it was so similar to me and to all that I wanted without having to use my powers to compel, it was like having a pet that could talk to you. When Stefan and I were visited by a man named Leo, we reveal the true name of the boy was Jeffrey Eric Winchester Salvatore, a name quite heavy for a boy but the most striking was that apeldara as we first thought it was a coincidence but then found the birth records of Jeff and I went there when we discovered that our niece Piper was his mother.
Jeffrey had been living with us for almost 1 month before knowing the truth, so it was not difficult to get used to their presence in the house, it was harder to explain that we only knew his name, which were his uncles and especially vampires and should obey all that you were.
All was well for a while, until the vampires from the tomb of the church escaped and went after us, the biggest surprise for me was to see that Jeffrey knew fight even better than me. I confess I gave him a tremendous spanking for standing only to vampires but that was because I was really scared of what might have happened.
