Chapter 6: The Call

The reason that Stefan didn't want to tell Damon the truth was because he didn't know how he would react.

Stefan called Bonnie later that day at five pm. "Bonnie? Are you there?"

"Yea, hi Stefan, I can hardly believe that we are talking right now. You didn't tell Damon or Elena about calling me did you?"

"No, Caroline told me not to say anything; so I didn't but I don't like keeping secrets from Elena though as you well know. Why all the secrecy anyway? I get that Damon is an ass at times but if your honest with yourself; you would admit that you have feelings for him at the very least, why won't you just admit it?"

"Yea, I'll admit it, so I can be the one left that is broken? I don't think so besides according to Caroline you Damon couldn't be any happier sharing Elena, did I get that part wrong? Is Elena pregnant yet?"

"Yes, you got it all wrong as did Caroline, do you know that she thinks we slept together and I'm the one that got you pregnant? Where would she get that idea from?"

"I didn't have the guts to tell her the whole truth, so I told her partial truths instead. She jumped to the wrong conclusion on her own but I didn't try to correct her either, I guess because I was ashamed of my actions. What do you mean that I jumped to the wrong conclusions?"

"Elena is not really with Damon, it was a trick to help lure Katherine out into the open, and you were never supposed to get caught up into this mess. Damon has been really upset since you left, is there any chance that I can convince you to come back?"

"There is no chance for you to convince me to come home, besides that place no longer seems like my home anymore. Damon I will never even be able to be friends, I know that now and I'm through with deluding myself into thinking that he will ever care about me even a little, the only women that he has ever wanted are Katherine Elena. Even if I did come back to mystic falls it would only be after I knew that Katherine was dead and I doubt that I would stay there indefinitely anyway, it holds wat too many painful memories for me now, and besides it is tainted with evil and destruction is sure to come to mystic falls soon, I'm sure."

"Please don't say that Bonnie, it's not true, none of what you said is true. Damon has changed; in fact he told me that he loves you. If you came back, I know that things would be different with my brother, he needs you. Wait, what did you mean by is Elena pregnant yet?"

"You're wrong about Damon loving me too; he is not capable of loving anyone other than Elena Katherine. I can never come back to that place it will destroy me, if Damon doesn't first. As far as Elena being pregnant well, you will see soon enough about that but be careful because Katherine is lurking around and she will try to hurt Elena. I have to go now; I have a doctor's appointment with my new doctor, ok but please just keep the people that I care about in mystic falls safe ok?"

"Oh ok so I guess that means that you're still pregnant then? How is the baby doing and when you say all the people that you care about are you including Damon in that list?"

"I am pregnant still; I went to the doctor and everything. The baby is doing fine but she keeps me up late at night with awful heartburn though. As far as caring about Damon, yea I do and I probably always will but that is only because he is my baby's father and that is as far as my concern for him goes."

"Wait, you said she, as in the baby's a girl? Did the doctor tell you or did your witch powers tell you that? I know that you protest too much about Damon but you will never admit it to me. I swear you and Damon are both so stubborn."

"Actually that would be my powers, and the baby keeps sending me dreams or visions of the future, I'm not sure which it is. No I am not stubborn, I just live in the real world, where me and Damon will never be together again in any aspect. I have to go now but remember what I said watch out for Katherine and please don't tell Damon that you talked to me ok?"

"Fine, I'll be on the lookout, thanks for the heads up, I won't tell Damon either but can I at least tell Caroline the truth at least? I can't stand her looking at me with such contempt in her eyes?"

"No, you can't tell Caroline, if anyone is going to tell my best friend that I broke the girl code, it will be me, not you, got Salvatore?"

"Sorry, but I don't understand the girl code? What are you talking about?"

"How long have you been alive, huh? You never heard of the girl code? Well it is if a girl dates a boy then they break up, her friends or sisters can't ever date or sleep with the guy that she broke up with no matter, which one did the breaking up. It was a rule that we did stick to until Caroline dated Matt that is. This is completely different because of how Damon treated her."

"I am sure that she will understand and forgive you. Will you please tell her the truth soon for me?"

"Fine, I will tell her that you are not my baby's father but I'm not telling her that Damon is though. She is going to hate me, I know it. I really have to go now but don't call me again; I'm throwing this phone away after we hang up ok?"

"Fine but I do think that you are making a mistake though about Damon, bye."

"Goodbye, Stefan please take care of yourself."

After he hung up the phone with Bonnie; Stefan could hardly believe that Katherine was going to come back and try to screw with them all again. He knew that Bonnie was wrong for not letting Damon be a part of their child's life but he knew that her mind was made up. He had hoped that she would change her mind. Damon was acting different; they were in a better place with each other. He knew that there was no way that he could tell Damon about his call with Bonnie. Damon would not understand and he would take Stefan's silence as a betrayal to him.
