Chapter 2-The burden and the phone call

5 months later...

Bonnie cradles the small bundle in her arms. Whispering soft words of love and singing lullabies.

Bonnie felt stressed and scared. Somewhere out there she knows that Klaus is alive and waiting.

Waiting for his opportunity to snatch her daughter away from her. She still couldn't grasp the thought of how something so innocent, be conceived by something so dark. It used to bug her but her husband would always ease her mind about it.

Damon.

Damon loves their baby girl so much. He promised her that he would die to protect their child. Stefan and Caroline promised to do the same and rip him to shreds with Damon.

"I'm gonna kill him Bonnie! I promise you! He such as looks at my god kid Imma kill him!"

She laughs briefly at the memory but it doesn't calm her one bit. She fears for their baby. Someday this little girl will have to go toe to toe with something evil, pure evil...her real father. She and Damon have talked about the pros and cons of telling their daughter, when she's older about Klaus. Damon doesn't want to. He says that he is the father and no other man would take that away from him. Klaus may be her father by blood, but he is her father.

He is be the man to raise her and mold her into something good not evil. He is the one to sing to her, carry her, tuck her in to bed, read her stories, take her to school, be her shoulder to cry on when her heart gets broken by some prick, beat up said prick(s) and be the man to give her away at her wedding.

He is her father and there is nothing Klaus can do or say to change that.

She smiles at her daughter and then gently lays her down in her crib. She turns on the night light and kisses her goodnight.

She doesn't close the door because she wants Damon to hear everything better when they're all sleeping and to listen and make sure that Anastasia is safe. With one more glance to calm herself, she leaves to go to sleep too.

She walks to the bedroom, where her and her husband share. She climbs into the bed and snuggles to her already sleeping vampire. In his sleep he pulls her closer and kisses her head. She wraps her arms around him and tries to sleep. She listens to the gurgling sounds their daughter is making down the hall. She smiles when Damon mumbles, "She's fine, she'll fall asleep soon". She giggles and kisses his bare chest and sure enough she doesn't hear their baby girl gurgling. She feels better knowing Damon is still alert, even though he's sleeping.

It feels so good that their baby is still a baby and that she doesn't know anything about her fate that lies ahead in the distant future.

She knows the burden that Anastasia will have to carry is heavy and terrifying. But her mommy and daddy and the rest of their supernatural group will be there every step of the way.

She's nervous about that day but when that day comes, they'll be ready. Bonnie just wants to focus on the good and wonderful things about her family and friends while Anastasia is still a baby.

But, there just one thing that is truly scaring her and that she can't get out of her head. She got a call two hours ago from a certain and former warlock and to say he is pissed is just an understatement...

Her dad is coming for a visit.
