It was 9:00 when they arrived to the party at the Lockwood Mansion. They would have arrived earlier but the woman he was linked arms with took forever to get dress. Others called her his wife and he called the biggest mistake of his life. Wait. No. Second biggest mistake of his life. His biggest mistake was being irresponsibly drunk and cheating on the women he had loved more than anything else in this world. The woman who he wanted to be his wife and mother of his children, the women who to this day he still was hopelessly in love with Bonnie Bennett. He cheated on her with his second biggest mistake, his wife aka Elena Gilbert or Elena Gilbert-Salvatore as she like to tell people. She was depressed and he was drunk when he asked her to marry him and "lucky" for him she said yes (sarcasm intended).

Being a Salvatore, Damon wasn't a stranger to these extravagant parties and the Lockwood's were famous for throwing the biggest Parties in Mystic Falls next to the Salvatore's of course. Isabella Salvatore was known for having the best parties in all of Virginia. He knew what to do at these parties he plays the part of adoring husband Elena plays the part of loving wife they make small talk and then he makes a bee line to the wine table.

He spotted his mother from across the room talking to Carol Lockwood. He made his way over in her direction with his wife trailing behind.

"Hello Mother" he spoke in a polite gentleman manner as she had taught them and kissed her cheek.

"Hello son." she said shocked to see him there.

"You look beautiful" he said "As do you Mrs. Lockwood"

"Thank you Damon, Where is you lovely wife " Mrs. Lockwood asked

"I'm right here Carol how are you doing" Elena asked as if she gave a damn.

"I'm great honey. Isabella, You must be happy to have both of your son's home and Bonnie." she said turning her attention towards Isabella.

"Yes, very Carol"

"Well I am going to go be a go hostess, nice to talk to you." She said and walked away

"They're home?" Damon asked

"Yes"

"Where is he?" Elena asked, earning a scowl from Isabella

"Where are they mamma?" Damon asked

"They're around here somewhere."

"I'm going to go find them see you later Mamma."

"I don't think that's a good idea figlio "Isabella said grabbing his arm

"Why mamma."

"Because I don't want any trouble in here tonight. Tonight is about Tyler and Caroline so promise me you won't start any problems." She said looking into his eyes waiting for a response.

He sighed, "Okay Mamma."


When Bonnie and Stefan walked into the party she was attacked by Caroline. "Bonnie I'm so glad you're here." Caroline hugged her

"Tonight is your night Care. Of course I'll be here"

"Auntie Caroline" Arianna yelled

"Ari" Caroline yelled, grabbing her goddaughter out of Stefan's arms

"Come on Bon lets go meet everybody" she said taking Bonnie and Arianna, leaving Stefan behind. "Tyler," Caroline yelled to get his attention.

Tyler turned around "Bonnie" he said hugging her small body tightly

"Well if you and Caroline didn't have anything else in common you guys sure know how to cut off my air supply." Tyler laughed.

"Hey Bon about Damon I'm..."Bonnie held up her hand to stop him.

"It's okay Ty, He's your friend and it's your wedding."

Tyler smiled. Tyler and Caroline often came to visit Bonnie and Stefan along with Matt and whoever the hell he was dating at the time.

"Bonnie." Matt yelled hugging Bonnie

"Hey Matt, you look great."

"Thanks. Who are you here with?"

"Stefan."

"So where's he?" Matt asked.

"He's around here somewhere."

"I'm going to go find him."

"Bonnie come here I want you to meet someone" Caroline grabbed Bonnie's arm.

"Bonnie this is Tyler's Uncle Mason, Mason this is Bonnie My maid of honor."

"Hello Bonnie."

"Hello Mason, Nice to meet you.

"Likewise, Caroline told me a lot about you but she didn't tell me how beautiful you are"

Bonnie Blushed "How sweet, how many times have you use that line and it worked. She joked

"Well if you fall for it, the grand total would be one" He joked

Bonnie smiled "Well we'll see how tonight goes" Bonnie turned her attention to Caroline where's Ari noticing Caroline wasn't holding her anymore

"She's right..." Caroline started "She was right here Bon I Swear."

"I'm going to go look for her, bye mason Bonnie said looking for her daughter

"I'm going to tell the guys." Caroline said


After finding out Bonnie and Stefan were back and talking to his mom Damon didn't feel like making small talk. He just went straight to the wine table. He was on his 4th cup of wine when his "loving" wife waltz over to him with a fake smile and clenched teeth and said

"Damon, honey don't you think you've had enough to drink."

He tighten his hold on the glass not only had he not had enough to drink he didn't even have a buzz.

"Elena honey," he mimicked the sickening sweet voice she used with him just a moment ago and leaned over to her ear "fuck off" he said loud enough only for her to see it and drowned the glass of wine.

"Excuse me" he felt something pulling on his pants leg, Him an Elena both look back and down and saw the most beautiful child he has ever seen. Usually Damon didn't even like kids and wouldn't even acknowledge them but this little girl was so sweet and beautiful he couldn't ignore her. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow; she reminded him of someone, he just didn't know who.

"Yes princess." he answered.

"Can you help me find my mommy" she asked. "One minute she was there and the next minute she wasn't." She was on the verge of tears.

"What's your name," he asked before she could answer Elena rudely interrupted

"Ugh, who's little brat is this anyway." she scoffed getting her a glass of wine.

She's my little brat and I'll appreciate if you never called her that again." a voice answered. A voice they both hadn't heard in 3 years and 7 months.

"Stefan " Elena says in almost a questioning tone her eyes lit up as she saw the man heart she broke all those years ago.

"Elena" he said acknowledging her presence as he picked up the little girl.

"Stefan" Damon said surprised to see his brother again and holding the little girl that reminded him of someone he still couldn't figure it out, and shocked that his brother was a father and he didn't know anything about it.

"Stefan, did you find her." another voice called out a voice he would know any time and place, a voice he had missed a voice he hadn't heard in 3 years and 7 months when it told him that it never wanted to see him again .

"Mommy," The little girl said and jumped into Bonnie's arms. Now he knew who she reminded him of.

Bonnie hugged the little girl close. "Don't you ever run off like that again. Do you hear me." Arianna nodded. "And don't talk to strangers."

"Bonnie" Damon asked. She finally looked up at him.

"Damon". He stepped towards her as her as she squeezed the little girl closer to her body. He reached out his hand to caress her face but she stepped back.

"Come on baby let's get you something to eat she said to the little girl in her arm and turned around and walked away.

"Ahem." Elena cleared he throat" still here" she said waving her hand as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes At her husband. Damon ignored her and looked at Stefan

"You and Bonnie?" he asked looking back at Stefan like he betrayed him.

Stefan smirked. "Sure looks that way."

"You fucked my girlfriend and got her pregnant Stefan" Damon yelled. Ignoring the promise he made to his mother. The wine was definitely kicking in now.

"Kind of like what you did with Elena" He answered matching the same tone Damon had just used with him.

Before anyone knew what happened next Damon had punched Stefan and they were on the floor fighting Tyler and Matt Ran over to break the Fight up, while they were struggling, to get back at each other. Isabella made her way over to the fight, followed by Bonnie still holding the little girl. Isabella slapped both of her sons at the same time Stefan with the right hand Damon with the left both with the same impact and could be heard around the room and yelled some choice words in Italian that would make an Italian sailor blush, "Both of you outside now" she said in English. They did as their mother asked and made their way out the door followed by Isabella, Giuseppe, Elena and Bonnie who had handed Arianna over to Caroline. "What was that about?" Isabella asked her sons as the stared each other down not acknowledging her question.

"Damon punched Stefan." Elena spoke up as everyone gaze turn towards her questioning to why she was even there.

"What happened?" Giuseppe yelled. They ignored him and continued to stare daggers at each other. Bonnie finally spoke up in a whisper.

"What did you say Stefan." she glared up at him and he looked down at her

"What the hell did you say Stefan" she yelled gripping his tie pulling him to eye level. He cleared his throat and started talking

"My brother over there is upset that we're together and have a daughter." Bonnie let go of his tie and looked up at Stefan then looked to Damon who was glaring at her and scoffed, turned around, and made her way back inside to party. Damon went to follow her but Giuseppe stopped him. Damon exhaled trying to calm down

"Leave her alone son go home and calm down and take that." he said looking at Elena "home with you".


When Damon got home he made his way to the wetbar, bar downing something stronger than the wine he drunk earlier..

"Why are you so upset" Elena asked.

"I think it would be better if you just shut your fucking mouth" Damon yelled.

"Is it that much of shock? I mean come on Damon, they were made for each other. They're so much alike. Even when we were kids you could see that they were made for each other, maybe they were fucking long before she caught us."

Damon angrily grabbed Elena by her arms and shook her

"You shut your fucking mouth, Bonnie wouldn't do that." he spat at her.

" Are you sure about that Damon, because that little girl was at least 3 years old so either she was fucking him at the same time she was fucking you or she's yours." Damon eyes widen at Elena's Revelation. He glared down at Elena and let her go. He fixed himself another drink.

She couldn't be his. Bonnie wouldn't lie about something like that. The little girl did have his eyes and hair color and was about the right age. But Bonnie wouldn't keep him away from his child, and she would never cheat on him. Could she? He had hurt Bonnie so bad he couldn't blame her. She loved him and gave him everything and he betrayed her, they were each other's first love and she was still his only. There was no way that little girl could be his. Was She? He wasn't sure but he sure as hell was going to find out.
