So this kinda just came to me, so I put it on paper so to speak. The story will most likely be long and involve a few flashbacks. Let me know if you like it, I know it's a little different. Somewhat set in the same world as the series, with a created supernatural history. This chapter is full of feels. Just FYI.

.

This story takes place about nine or so months after Bonnie returns from the prison world. I kind of just started right in the middle of the story, but the history will be made clear in the future. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1

...

Bonnie knew she couldn't wait any longer, so she texted Damon to meet her at her house as soon as possible. She wasn't really surprised when thirty seconds later he knocked at the door.

"I wasn't far away." He said with a smirk. "So what's up Bon Bon? You want to go another round?" He inquired seductively.

"Not funny Damon, this is serious. I need to tell you something, and I need you not to freak out." Bonnie stated calmly.

"Alright Bonnie." Damon went and took a seat on the sofa. "Spill."

"Well I-" Bonnie started, but couldn't figure out how to finish her sentence. She had no idea how he was going to react and it was giving her chills. How are you supposed to bring this up to someone? She just stood there for a while, trying to figure out what to say.

Damon was growing impatient with her silence. "Bonnie what is going on here? The silence is making me dizzy. The truth Bon, please."

"Ugh… Fine. I'm pregnant Damon." Bonnie spat, with a face filled with sheer terror.

"What? How? Who else you been sleepin' with?" Damon asked, utterly confused.

"Nobody. Just you. It's yours Damon." She said blankly staring out the window.

"Nah." Damon just kind of stood there blankly staring at her stomach for a minute, she just waited, and he coughed before speaking again. "You're saying that you are carrying my child, even though I'm a long dead vampire?"

"The only other possibility I can imagine is if someone did it to me in my sleep." Bonnie replied meekly, obviously she had been thinking about that non-stop, but she knew it wasn't the truth. Just then someone entered the room and Bonnie recognized her cousin with a warm smile. Kayla was a distant cousin that lived in Canada, but had recently come to stay with Bonnie after her resurrection. She was petite like Bonnie and in her early twenties, with bright red hair that hung down to her back. She was a witch also, but seemed to be intelligent beyond her years.

"Bonnie, you know that isn't it. I know you probably felt it the moment it happened, these things are beyond rare, and the magic involved is something special." Kayla said. Bonnie had mentioned to her earlier about that night with Damon, but Kayla just kept on with questions until the conversation had ended. Bonnie never considered she might have the answers.

"Red witchy?" Damon questioned Kayla with a glance and his nickname for her.

"That can't be it. It just can't be." Bonnie stated to nobody in particular nearly in tears.

"What can't be? I'm feeling all sorts of left out here. Is she talking about the light that surrounded you that night?" Damon asked nervously, remembering back to the night they first and only time they had sex and the radiant light that flew through her when she climaxed. He had never seen anything like it and would never forget it, but he always wondered if he was crazy and it was all in his head.

"See Bonnie, he saw it too, it's very real." Kayla stated in Bonnie's direction.

"It's impossible on so many levels. Damon is meant to be with Elena." Bonnie responded looking down at the floor with sadness in her expression.

"Doesn't Damon have a choice in the matter? And somebody please tell me what the hell is going on." He added with a bit of anger in his tone. Bonnie nodded in Kayla's direction when she caught a look from her as if asking to explain.

"Well, Damon, the truth is you and Bonnie are Semper Anima Sodales (Always Soul Mates-'Intimate companions'). True Soul Mates. Different than normal soul mates, because there has only ever been one other child ever conceived from such a relationship. True soul mates are often never found because of many reasons, but mostly because they are spread out through time, by a spell from long ago. They have been unable to meet because their births are spread so far apart." Kayla informed him.

"Uh… Only one other child like ours in the history of time?" Damon responded with confusion.

"Only one that anyone has ever been heard of."

"Holy shit." Damon reacted and brought his hands around his head.

"Damon, it's fine, you don't have to be involved. I can take care of everything myself." Bonnie stated stiffly with a hint of anger. She was obviously thinking he would just walk away, hoping desperately that he wouldn't.

"Bonnie. There is something I need to tell you." He said shyly. Uncertain if he should talk with Kayla still in the room, but it didn't much bother him.

"What could you possibly have to tell me Damon? I know you don't want to be with me." Bonnie hissed.

"What did I do that could make you believe that?" Damon asked sadly before swallowing the knot in his throat and continuing. "I'm in love with you Bonnie, and not the kind that goes away. I just didn't think you would ever give me a chance in hell. Then that night happened and you ignored me ever since, I figured I did something wrong. I just don't know what you want, I can never figure you out."

"But Damon? What about Elena?" Bonnie responded with a shocked look on her face.

"Bonnie, Elena and I have been apart for eight months. Ever since you came back I couldn't even think about her. Why do you think I was always coming to see you?"

"I just figured we were really good friends, and after everything you felt guilty for getting back before me." Bonnie responded as if trying to convince herself.

Damon snorted and then grinned. "I followed you around like a pet. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with you before you remembered who I really am and told me to go away."

"Yeah, but Elena, she is your destiny. It's always been Elena, it always will be Elena." Bonnie said flatly.

"Obviously your stomach is saying differently. I get it, you still don't want anything to do with me, but I'm not leaving you, even if you can't stand to be near me. I will be there for you if you ever want me. I'll wait till you are old and grey if you wish." Damon added before crossing his arms.

"Actually, Bonnie will become an immortal witch now, because she shares the blood of the baby who is also immortal." Kayla interrupted.

"So I will stay this age forever like a vampire? I'll be 20 forever?" Bonnie asked nervously.

"Precisely. You will always be a witch though. I'm going to give you two some time to talk." Kayla said before walking into the other room, leaving Bonnie and Damon in a state of shock.

Damon didn't say anything at all for a few minutes, just stared at Bonnie and listened until he found the faint third heartbeat in her stomach. Then he walked over slowly and kneeled in front of her, placing his left ear against her stomach to hear better. She didn't pull away then, just placed her hand on the top of his head and smiled.

"I know there's a million people you would rather have a kid with." Damon stated just like he had before.

"If you only knew." She replied softly.

"Then tell me. Please just tell me. I need to know what you are thinking, I can never read you perfectly."

"Damon, I-" She began and then paused, as if to think over what course to take before Damon placed a soft kiss on her stomach after lifting her shirt slightly. "My heart has belonged to you for a while now. I just couldn't believe you would ever choose me over her. I am still not sure I can, what if you find out again that you can't be without her? I'm nobody's second choice, and that would kill me."

He was losing in her inner battle, he could tell. What could he say that would allow her to be his? He's never been a person of feelings, but everything was different with Bonnie. She would respect the truth above all, and he owed her that much, feelings and all.

"I could never choose anyone else if I wanted to. I can't even breathe lately when I'm away from you. I never let myself see it before because I fell in love with a face nearly 150 years ago, and then I saw it again giving me hope, saw the past repeat itself with Elena. It never occurred to me to love anyone else, or be loved any other way than just half of someone. I'm not even sure that getting Elena wasn't more about getting even with Stefan for Katherine choosing him all those years ago. It wasn't until I thought I would never see Elena again that I let myself get over it, and got back to see she wasn't who I thought she was. I fell in love with you in four months in a prison that turned out to be heaven for a while. Even though I loved Elena then, I started loving you without knowing it could be that effortless. I nearly died inside when I thought I lost you forever. Tried to fill the hole you left with getting Elena back. When you came back I knew what I felt for you was so far beyond the love I ever had for Elena or Katherine. That day you jumped into my arms I think your heart touched mine and I've been lost without you ever since. I haven't touched anyone else after that, and I never will again, it's you or it's nobody for me. Just let me prove it to you Bonnie. I know nobody in this world can love you like I can." Damon finished with a tear in his eye. He had been kneeling during his little speech and he couldn't get himself to look up at Bonnie's face. Deep down in his stomach this pit was starting to form, and he wasn't sure he could bear to hear her say no.

"Ok." Was all she said, but it sounded like she had been holding a breath for hours and the words came out as she exhaled.

"Ok?" He responded looking up at her finally. She had a smile on her face and tears running down her cheeks, green eyes looking into his as if she could see his soul.

"I'm absolutely terrified of all of this, but I need you with me. I won't deny my heart any longer. I trust you Damon. If you still want me, knocked up and all." Bonnie said with a nervous giggle.

"Want you Darlin? Want could never begin to cover it." Damon said as he stood and drew her in for a kiss. Their lips met and again a shock coursed through both of their bodies.
