No One's POV

Katherine cried.

It was the third time this week that Damon told her that he didn't want a child.

She'd always wanted a child, one that wasn't taken away from her and one that she could actually see and hold, but since she turned into a vampire all of her chances of went away.

"We could always take a child or adopt," she beamed but every single time he told her it was a bad idea.

It wasn't right because it would be human and growing up and wondering why his or her parents weren't aging.

"It's too risky, Kat." his words kept replaying over and over in her head.

She sat in the driveway of the Salvatore house and waited for Damon to come out and comfort her and tell her that he was sorry like he always did.

Right on cue he came out and sat down beside her.

"I'm sorry," he told her and wrapped his arm around her.

Katherine started crying harder when he did this.

"Kat," he looked at her and his eyes got a bit glossy.

A tear rolled down his cheek as he opened his mouth to continue talking to her.

He didn't even know he was crying until his mouth tasted the salty tears that came rolling down one after another.

"I want one too. I know it's hard," he started rubbing her back and when she didn't put her head on his shoulder he put his arm back around her.

Katherine looked up at him finally.

Her mascara was running but she still looked as stunning as ever to him.

"It's my birthday. That's all I want. That's all I've ever wanted," she cried.

He didn't realize it was her birthday today and suddenly looked away.

"I forgot, I cannot believe I forgot your birthday!" he whispered.

She shook her head and laughed hestarically. "It's okay."

He shook his head and looked over at her.

"No it's not. And I'm getting you something." he winked, took his arm away, and flew away.

Katherine wiped her tears away as she watched the crow fly away.

Damon's POV

I had to get her what she wanted.

I hated seeing her like this; I hated that awful look in her eyes when she gets sad.

Year after year she wanted the same old thing and I could never be able to give it to her but now I loved her enough to get it for her.

We've been arguing for centuries and finally I'm giving in.

Mostly now and today because it's her birthday but I probably would've done it; either way I would've snapped and gone with her wishes soon anyway.

I just want to see her happy again; I want her back again.

I heard a faint cry of a little girl and landed on the ground in my human state saying goodbye to the crow.

I ran toward the noise and sure enough straight in the middle of the woods was a little baby girl.

She was trapped in a thick blanket and it seemed like someone had just left her there.

I looked around and made sure no one was going to attack me or something.

Not really saying they had a chance with me being a fairly strong vampire.

No One's POV

When it seemed like no one was in sight he picked up the little infant and took the blanket off of its head and gasped in amazment.

It was the most beautiful child he'd ever seen.

He chucked when he realized that himself and Katherine, having dark features and this little baby with bright green eyes, and the most beautiful blonde hair would look rather strange and suspicious.

He brought her back to the house and ran up to Katherine's room and balanced the baby in one arm while he knocked on Katherine's door with the other.

She opened it up and looked at the baby in his arms.

Crying, she grabbed the baby and squealed with happiness.

Damon smiled and took the baby back. "Calm down, Kat."

She smiled and kissed him trying to reach for the baby again, but Damon wouldn't let her.

"Why won't you hand her to me?" she pouted.

He sighed. "You're a little to excited right now...I'm waiting until you calm down," He laughed looking down at the fragile little baby in his arms and continued. "You might squish her!"

Katherine reached out a few more unsuccessful times and finally just gave up trying to look calmed down enough so Damon would just finally hand her the beautiful child that she still hadn't seen all over yet.

She smiled at the thought of finally having a family of her own.

Damon looked at her and the child and seemed to be thinking the same thing.

The baby reached out for Damon with her little hands and Katherine's mouth opened in shock at how the child already seemed to like her new father.
