Title: I love the way you lie
Summary: Elena lied to Damon years ago, making him believe that she cheated on him. He comes back to Mystic Falls and finds out the truth. She had his child and kept her a secret all these years. He is determined not to let her get away this time. All characters are human. R&R.
Chapter 2
"What's so funny ladies?" A familiar voice said from behind me. Caroline's eyes got huge. Elena turned quickly.
Elena: (shocked &wide eyed) "Damon?"
Damon: (smirks) "The one and only."
(Elena looked over at Caroline and stared at her for a moment. She looked just as shocked as me. She couldn't have told him about Angel. Caroline is the only one besides Jeremy that knows she's Damon's daughter. Elena couldn't tell Bonnie. She always hated him and Elena was afraid of her being too judgmental. Elena told her that she had a one night stand with a stranger. She know that isn't much better but she panicked)
Angel: "Who is this, mama?" Oh no one important just your father, sweetie
Elena: "Um, he's an old friend. Damon, can I talk to you alone for a minute?"
Damon: (nods) "Sure thing, Elena."
(Elena got up and walked outside with him. Once we got outside, she stared at him. She can't believe he was here…after four years. He came back but why? She needed to find out)
Elena: "Damon, what are you doing here?"
Damon: (smiles) "You know what they say, there is no place like home."
Elena: (sighs) "Damon…"
Damon: (snaps) "Look, I just wanted to see you and see how you were doing, ok?"
(Elena nods)
Damon: "So, where is the baby daddy?"
I'm looking at him
Elena: "He's not in the picture. He didn't want anything to do with her."
Damon: (scoffs lights) "You're kidding? Bus boy didn't want the white picket fence marriage and a baby in the carriage kind of life?"
Shit! He's talking about Matt
Elena: (sighs) "Damon, please I don't want to talk about this anymore. I need to get back inside now."
Damon: (shrugs) "Alright let's go."
(Damon starts to walk inside)
Elena: "Damon! What do you think you're doing?"
Damon: "Going back inside. I want to meet your daughter."
(He kept walking, not caring if she was following or not. Oh, this isn't going to be good, she thought to herself. He sat in our booth, right across from Angel. Caroline glared at him. Elena sat down next to Damon since that was the only seat left.
Angel: (excitedly) "Hey, you have my eyes!"
(Elena bit her lip. Oh, no. Caroline looked up at me and gave me a worried look)
Damon: (tilts his head) "Count your blessings kid. These eyes are very rare and only the lucky ones get to have them."
(Elena lets out the breath she was holding. At least he wasn't suspicious)
Angel: "Mama, can I have some dessert?"
Elena: "Finish your chicken first then you can."
(She hurried up and took one last giant bite, stuffing it in her mouth. Elena stared at her for a minute then started to giggle)
Elena: "Fine. What do you want?"
(It took her minute to answer, but finally she swallowed it)
Angel: "I want a fudge sundae."
Caroline: "I'll get Matt over here."
(Caroline started to wave him over. Dammit, Elena thought to herself)
Caroline: "MATT!"
(Damon glared over at Matt. Shit this isn't going to be good. Matt walked over)
Matt: "What can I get you?"
Angel: (happily) "I want a fudge sundae!"
(Matt smiled at her and Damon kept glaring at Matt)
Matt: "Can I help you with something?"
(Oh, no. I felt my heart stop)
Damon: (growled) "Yeah, how about taking some responsibilities for your kid!"
(Matt looked at him weirdly)
Matt: "My kid?"
(Angel looked at Elena in confusion)
Angel: "What's happening, mama?"
Elena: "Matt, could you please get Angel her sundae? It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
(He nodded and left while mumbling. Damon still looked annoyed and then he glared over at Elena. Oh jeez this should be good)
Damon: "Matt isn't her father, is he?"
(Before Elena could answer Caroline spoke up)
Caroline: "C'mon on Angel. Let's go to the bathroom."
Angel: (shakes her head) "But I don't have to go potty."
Caroline: "Then you can keep me company. I'll even let you try on my make-up."
Angel beamed up at her, "Okay!"
(Them leaving left an angry looking Damon to me. Great just great)
Damon: (angrily) "Answer me Elena!"
Elena: (sighs deeply in defeat) "No, Matt isn't the father."
Damon: "Who is?"
You
Elena: (shakes her head) "It doesn't matter. All I'll say is that he wouldn't have been a very good father anyways."
Damon: (determined) "I want to know who it is."
Elena: (raises her voice) "Too bad!"
(Elena was starting to get angry. Why can't he just let it go? No, he wanted a name and Elena wanted to tell him it was him. But she couldn't. If she told him that Angel was his, it could go one of two ways. Either he could get furious at her for lying to him all these years. Or he could just leave again and she'd never see him again. She can't let that happen, not again)
(Damon calms down and tries to comfort her with his soothing words)
Damon: "Elena, I want to help you."
(Elena loses her patience with her ex and shouts)
Elena: "Damon, I'm fine! I don't need help. Angel is great kid. She doesn't need a father."
(He grabs my hand and looks into her eyes. She stared into his beautiful blue eyes)
Damon: (pleads softly) "Please."
(Right now all she wanted to do was kiss him, but she couldn't. Elena couldn't get close to him. She had to think about Angel. She came before anything, even her own selfish desires)
Elena: (sighs softly) "Damon, how can you even want to help me? After what I did to you?"
(Damon shakes his head and speaks gently)
Damon: "Elena, that was four almost five years ago. I'm over it."
(Angel and Caroline walk out of the bathroom. Angel had some red lip stick on and blush. Elena smiled at her. She looked over at Damon and he kept watching Angel. It looked like he was studying her carefully. Damon looked back at Elena and stared at her for a long moment before he looks shocked, yet understood what was going on)
Damon: "I'm Angel's father."
Chapter 2 Done
Thank you for reading. I hope you don't mind some of the changes I made to this story. I would love to hear from you on what you think so far, whether you're new readers or have been here since the original author posted this story. Like I stated at the end of Chapter 1, the original author mentioned she would be doing a side story of Caroline/Klaus/Tyler and their drama as well. Being I'm continuing this story, my question for you is...do you want Caroline with Klaus or Tyler? I know everyone has their preference and I want everyone to be able to have their say on the topic. Consider this a poll for future chapters. I will let you know when the time comes for the poll to be done. FYI: the most popular answer will be used. Meaning, if there are more Klaus answers, Klaus will be with Caroline down the line. If there are more Tyler answers, Tyler will be with Caroline. Thank you to those who participate. Thank you also for your thoughts! Until next time!
