Chapter 4

Damon's POV

Okay I am starting to freak; no one has called me yet. Of course I have been looking like a crazy man, but only at night because someone took our rings…

Sometimes I have the need to strangle someone with the pressure a daughter gives me…

Its bright outside and I hear the doorbell ring, I grown I have to get the door, and its bright outside, this is not going to be good.

I went to the door without opening it and yelled "Who is it?"

"Jeremy I have something for you…"

I open the door fast and stay in the shadows.

But I almost jump on her; there is Gracie standing there with tears in her eyes and an ice-cream cone and also a picture in her hand, I can't see the picture clearly though.

I want to yell at her for running away, but every time I see the tears in her eyes I can't do it, she looks so sweet and innocent. She is making me go soft, and I know it, I yell for Stefan.

"Stefan!" I yell.

But Gracie cringes and hides behind Jeremy, I feel the jealousy feeling I felt earlier, and I don't like it, I want to steel Gracie away from them, she is mine daughter not there's!

Jeremy goes down and says "Hey, hey, I promise nothings going to happen, they might be a little mad but they love you. And next time you come over you can draw with me again we can have a Gracie and Uncle Jer day all over again." I snap my head to his direction; he has had Gracie all this time and never told me! I feel like throwing a hair brush at him!

He is going to die, I am about to step out of the light when Stefan stops me and whispers "Damon there is light and your daughter there, don't make her scared of you, or question you…" I nod listening to Gracie's heart beat to calm me down.

"Damon I'm sorry. I made you a picture of you and my old mommy, she is really petty, and I did it all by myself. But I had a scary dream and you scared me because you were in it" She said sniffling.

She drew a picture of me and Elena in a hug, we looked completely normal. But she drew it completely right. With the details and everything. I looked at Jeremy, this looked like he spent hours on this but he looked at Gracie and mouthed 'all her' I took a glanceat Gracie to see, and she looked at me waiting to see my response. So I smiled huge, and she smiled to but didn't go over to me.

"Gracie come here." I said, I felt like crying she is so sweet, and I scared her, I need to get one of those books you know the 'For Dummies' books but mine needs to say 'How to be a half vampire girls dad for Dummies' I am sure that's a best seller…

But anyways after I had a mental debate with sarcasm added, I saw Gracie was still hidden be hide Jeremy's leg.

I sighed and said "Gracie I can't go in the sun, I have… sensitive eyes today. Yeah sensitive eyes…" I trailed off trying to be convincing. Stefan was trying not to laugh along with Jeremy. But I was trying to be convincing! Stupid brother and brother-in-law!

"You promise, not to be mean?" Gracie asked.

I nodded and she came running to me and a rapped my arms around her. Then a cough came from the door, we snapped our heads up to the noise. It was of course the one and only Kol Mikaelson.

"Well isn't this a nice family reunion." Kol said walking up to me giving me a man-hug.

Then he bent down to Gracie's level and said "And you must be the amazing and wonderful Gracie I keep hearing about."

She held out her hand and said "Gracie Ben- I mean Salvatore" she said smiling at me.

I smiled and did a mini fake applause.

She smiled and bowed. Man I love her so much.

Did I really say that in my mind, do I really love Gracie? I think I do, I mean I have had a good tome with her, and she brightens my day, and she makes me smile, and she is part me so that explains the awesome genes she got. Okay Damon stop being full of yourself, you know the real reason. I told myself.

Yeah I did know the real reason, she is part Elena; sweet, loving, caring, energetic, and every good thing on the planet there is. Gracie got all of those genes and some of mine so that makes her the most awesome person alive. And cocky Damon is back… I chuckled at my own thoughts.I am a tad bit cocky if I do say do myself.

I was brought back at the sound of Gracie's voice saying "Who is this?"

Then he introduced himself "I am Kol Mikaelson, the Orig- I mean your Uncle Kol." He smiled. If I had a beating heart beat, I would have had a heart attack. Stupid Kol, he almost said 'Original Vampire' Yep he is going to die, I glared at him. He did an innocent smile back.

Luckily Gracie didn't catch that. "Wait I have another Uncle! Damon can you believe it! I have another one! Do I have anymore?" she said really existed. It made me smile at how existed she was for a big family and to have more members.

"Yes darling, you have me, a Uncle Elijah, an Aunt Rebekah, Uncle Nik, Uncle Finn, he is a bore though, and a Grandma Ester, an Uncle Matt, and an Aunt Caroline. That is your whole family."

She gasped and looked and glared at me, but in reality she looked like an angry kitten it was adorable!

"You meanie! You said I only have 2 uncles when I have, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 11 aunties and uncles!" she yelled at me.

I feel a tad bit bad but I forgot about them, and I was talking biologically! Give me a break!

Then she turned to Kol and said "Uncle Kol! Damon lied!" she said but then added "when can I see the rest of them?" she questioned.

"Well Damon how could you! Lie to your own flesh and blood about her new favorite uncle! That is a shame!" he said scowling me.

I was about to protest but then he picked Gracie up and said "I am taking Gracie out to show her the rest of her family." He said then was out the door.

I groaned he took my daughter I just got back and I still didn't get my daylight rings back…

Damn him.
