Chapter 7
Damon took Elena in his arms and just lay there. "Yeah, I am okay, I just had a bad dream that's all." He said kissing Elena's forehead.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Elena asked concerned.
"Uh, not really." Damon mumbled.
"Okay, it might help if you do, you know?" Elena persisted.
Damon sighed, "Okay, fine. It was about my father okay." He muttered.
"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to pry." Elena replied.
"No, sorry I didn't mean to snap, its just my father is a touchy subject." Damon said rubbing his hand across his face. "He had a way of making you feel really shitty about yourself." Damon groaned.
"Hey, its okay, it was just a dream, its not real." Elena said cupping his face in her hands.
"Yeah, just a dream." He murmured, cuddling her again. 'except is not just a dream, it's a memory, what if I am just like him,' Damon worried to himself. They drifted off into a peaceful sleep again.
Morning light pooled into the room. Elena's eyes fluttered open. She smiled feeling strong arms around her. 'I could get used to waking up every morning like this.' She smiled to herself.
She turned around to look at the man beside her. He lay there like a model, his beautiful blue eyes were lightly shut, his raven hair was slightly messier than usual, his pale white skin looked like marble in the morning light. He was mesmerizing, Elena could feel a familiar heat pooling in her core. She gasped as he moved in his sleep. She could feel his groin rubbing towards her, she was shocked, she had heard about how men usually wake up, but had never really experienced it before.
"Mmm, Elena?" Damon said slowly opening his eyes, his thick lashes nodding at her.
"Hi." She said softly.
"I thought maybe I was dreaming last night." Damon said sheepishly.
"Nope, I am definitely still here." She smiled at him.
Damon moaned as she moved closer to him, "Elena, please don't do that."
"Why?" she flirted.
Damon groaned, his boxers were becoming uncomfortably tight. "Because, if you don't I will pin you to this bed." He threatened.
"So, do it." She said confidently, rubbing her lower body closer to his.
"Ah, El. Please don't tease me." Damon whined, Elena moved her body over his, rubbing her self against him. Damon bucked his hips, his eyes glazed over with ecstasy. Elena sat up, pulling his t-shirt off of her body, leaving herself completely nude.
Damon gasped, his manhood was begging to be freed. Elena reached between them and pulled his boxers off, taking his manhood in her hands.
"Elena!" he groaned, as she stroked him. He bucked his hips again, eyes rolling back. "Please, I won't last long." He begged.
She smiled, positioning her entrance over him, their eyes met, an immense heat came between them as she lowered herself on him. He moaned in pleasure as he felt her heat surround him.
"Oh my god, Elena, oh god." He moaned as she began moving up and down.
She whimpered as he filled her. Unable to hold back anymore Damon moved them over so that he was on top of her.
"Ah, Damon, please…" she begged him to move, he began thrusting in a methodical pace, Elena could feel a pressure building.
"Damon, please I am going to…" Elena nearly screamed as she felt an orgasm coming over her.
Damon groaned loudly, "Come for me baby," he said pounding harder into her, his own climax was building, Elena shook under him, her body glistening with sweat.
"Oh, god, Elena I…" he couldn't talk as his climax over took him, taking one last thrust as he pushed his seed deep within her.
They both lay there a mess of arms and legs.
"Good morning, babe." Damon finally said, after he caught his breath.
"Yeah, good morning." Elena laughed.
There was a knock at the door.
"Oh, shit. I forgot that Lexi stayed over." Damon said getting out of bed and grabbing a black silk robe from the bathroom door.
"Lex! don't come in nobody is decent." He bellowed.
"I wouldn't dream of it!" Lexi replied from the other side of the door, "I just wanted to tell you I was going out to hunt."
Elena felt her cheeks getting red, Stefan's vampire best friend was here, which means she heard everything. Elena was so embarrassed.
"Okay, well the Bennett's and blondie are coming later this afternoon." He yelled back.
"I'll be back soon" Lexi called out as she left the house.
"Damon, you didn't tell me Lexi stayed." Elena said getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom.
"Sorry, you sort of distracted me." Damon winked at her.
Elena blushed a deep red, "Hey, don't be embarrassed, I am sure Lexi didn't even pay attention." He said as he joined her in the bathroom, turning on the bathtub tap.
"What are you doing?" Elena questioned.
"I am running you a bath," he said looking under the sink for some bubble bath.
"Oh, well thank you." Elena said softly.
"Anything for you my love." He said giving her a soft kiss.
"You have a nice bath, I am going to grab a quick shower and go and make some breakfast, I think that Zach went shopping yesterday before he left for Richmond again." Damon said turning the bath off and going to the shower.
Elena lay back in the water, thinking about everything that had happened over the last few days.
"Damon," she called out.
"What's wrong 'Lena?" he said stepping out of the shower, wrapping a towel around himself.
"I think we need to tell Aunt Jenna about the baby soon," Elena said playing with the bubbles in the tub.
Damon sat down on a little stool beside the tub. "Yeah, I think your right. But you know she is going to kill me right." Damon nervously chuckled.
"You and me both." Elena sighed.
"How about once we have gotten all this stuff figured out with Stef, I come over and cook you guys a really nice meal. Kind of win her over then we can tell her the news." Damon said chewing his lip.
"Ha-ha, bribe her with food, that's your plan?" Elena laughed heartedly.
"Its all I've got." Damon jokingly defended. 'How exactly do I explain to Jenna that I got her niece impregnated with a magical baby?' Damon sighed to himself as he went to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. "Well would you look at that?" he stated.
"Look at what?" Elena asked.
"Apparently, I need to shave, its been years since I have had to shave everyday." Damon laughed to himself.
"You don't grow facial hair as a vampire?" Elena wondered.
"Well, you do but really, really slowly." Damon said as he lathered his face and shaved off the five o'clock shadow.
"Hmm, interesting. Do you miss it? Being a vampire, I mean." Elena asked innocently.
Damon pondered the question taking a towel and drying his face off. "In some ways yeah, I do, I miss being able to run fast, not having to worry about getting hurt, or dying. But I don't miss the blood lust, I don't miss killing people, and I really don't miss the loneliness. Realizing I will be able to just live and die, not having to watch everyone I love die, that makes me really happy." Damon replied as he began to brush his teeth.
Elena reached down in the tub to let the water go, her mind processing Damon's response.
"What about Stefan?" Elena finally asked.
Damon stood there, he had thought about this for the past few days.
"To tell you the truth, I think about it everyday. I wish he was the one who got to be human. Not because I miss being a vampire. But because he is the one that deserved it most." Damon sighed, it anyone deserved to me human it was his brother.
"Why do you always do that?" Elena asked stepping out of the tub and wrapping in a towel.
"Do what?" Damon questioned as he walked into the bedroom.
"Think that you don't deserve things." Elena said following behind him.
"Because I don't, Stefan fought for years to control his bloodlust, he is the one that lives with the humans in harmony. Me all I ever did was kill." Damon replied sadly as he got his clothes.
"Damon, you know that I saw everything when Grams did that spell. I have seen your good parts, I have seen your bad parts. You fought hard too. Please stop beating yourself up. That's why your having those nightmares isn't it? Because you think that you don't deserve this, deserve us?" Elena said motioning to herself and the baby.
Damon felt a lump in his throat, "I… I love you Elena and I love our son. I just don't think that I deserve you, you are right." He replied, tears mounting in his eyes.
Elena reached out to him pulling him in a hug. "Damon, even if destiny hadn't chosen you for me, even if you were still a vampire. I will always love you. You might not think you deserve me, or to be human, but you do. Everything you have ever done was for love. If anyone deserves to be loved and be human, it is you. Please stop thinking your not good enough because you are." She spoke from the heart.
"I… thank you Elena. I love you so much." He said hugging her back.
He glanced up at the clock on the wall, 12:30.
"We better get you and little one fed." He said as he pulled his clothes on.
"Yeah, I am feeling a little hungry, you wore me out." Elena winked.
Damon laughed, "Come on you little minx." He said as she got dressed and followed him downstairs.
While they were in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Lexi walked in the front door.
"Hey Lex, were in the kitchen," Damon said, as he sampled some whipped cream.
Lexi gasped as she walked into the kitchen. "Jesus, I know you told me she looked like Kat, but Holy crap!" Lexi spit out, quickly covering her mouth. "Oh, I am sorry I didn't mean to say it like that."
"It's okay, I know Kathrine and I look a lot alike." Elena smiled.
"Wow, you sure are nicer than her though." Lexi laughed.
"You knew her?" Elena asked confused.
"No, not personally, only what Stef has told me about her." Lexi replied as she sat down at the table.
"Do you want some pancakes?" Damon asked putting three pancakes on both his and Elena's plates.
"Oh, no its good I just ate." Lexi politely declined the offer.
"Okay, your loss." Damon laughed, taking some blueberries and dressing Elena's pancake with a smiley face, using the whipped cream he made little fangs.
Elena rolled her eyes and smiled.
"So…. Lex… I think…" Damon began between chews.
"Damon would you please just eat, then talk to me after." Lexi said disgusted.
"Sorry." Damon said swallowing and taking a long drink of coffee.
"So, I think that you, Bonnie, Caroline and Sheila should go tonight." Damon said as he poured Elena a glass of orange juice.
"Don't you think that's a little soon and un prepared?" Lexi replied.
"Well I thought so at first, but really Klaus should still be weak from whatever Sheila did. So, I think now is the best time. Before he has too much time to think of a plan of his own." Damon explained finishing off his food.
"Yeah, maybe your right, but how bad is Stef. Damon?" Lexi asked very concerned.
"Well, since he is being controlled by that freak, I'd say he is pretty bad. I would assume that he might have turned it off." Damon contemplated as he put his dish in the sink.
"Turned it off?" Elena asked confused.
Lexi put her fingers to her temples. "This is going to take more than a little Vervain to fix Damon." She sighed.
"What do you guys mean by turn it off?" Elena asked again.
"Basically, a vampire has an option not to feel. A switch so to speak. If you don't want to feel guilt or remorse, any emotion, you just turn it off." Damon explained sitting back down.
"Oh, that's bad I assume?" Elena asked innocently.
"Very bad." Lexi replied grabbing a cup of coffee.
"It practically means that when we get Stefan back, we are getting a monster back." Damon sighed.
"Did you ever, you know turn it off?" Elena asked Damon directly.
"Yes, for a long time." Damon bowed his head.
"Was it because of Enzo?" Elena asked, remembering the memories she had gotten. Damon's face paled.
"Who is Enzo?" Lexi said shocked.
"No one. Never mind I don't want to talk about it. I am going to go and phone the Bennett's." Damon said as he stormed out of the room.
"Oh, I didn't mean to upset him." Elena said tears coming to her eyes.
"Hey, its okay, don't cry. Damon sometimes just goes off the handle, he'll come around." Lexi said trying to reassure her new friend.
"How about I help you clean up in here and then we go for a walk?" Lexi said as she helped Elena clean the kitchen.
"Thank you for your help you didn't need to." Elena replied hanging her tea towel up.
"It's not a problem," Lexi smiled. "Now how about that walk, we don't have much time till the witches, Caroline and I have to leave." Lexi said as they went out to the backyard.
"I haven't really been around the grounds before." Elena said.
"They really have a nice garden over here, Stefan and I used to always come here to think." Lexi explained, a pained look on her face.
"Stefan really means a lot to you, doesn't he?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, he's my best friend, we've been friends for decades, I was coming here for his birthday." Lexi said sadly.
"Do you love him?" Elena wondered aloud.
"As a brother yeah, not romantically, I've got a boyfriend, a human actually, his name is Lee." Lexi smiled.
"Oh wow, sorry I didn't mean to assume." Elena said embarrassed.
"Oh no its all good. I would have thought the same thing if I was you." Lexi smiled. "You are really something special Elena."
Elena blushed, "Thanks."
"No, I really mean it. I have never seen anyone care about Damon the way you do. I never thought I would see a day that Damon was happy, or when he cared about Stefan again. Its been so long." Lexi reflected.
"Well, I sure pissed him off earlier." Elena said sadly.
"He'll get over it, like I said Damon doesn't think sometimes." Lexi replied as they headed back to the house.
"I guess." Elena pouted.
Back inside Damon was packing a bag full of Vervain and stakes. The doorbell rang.
Lexi and Elena came in the back door just as the Bennett's and Caroline got there.
"Okay, I've got your supplies ready, and the map of where he is." Damon said handing Lexi the bag and Sheila the map.
"If you need back up call me." He said as they gathered their things.
"Are you sure that this Vervain will hold him?" Caroline asked concerned.
"Yes, as long as you give him a large enough dose. You need to hurry once Klaus his down you need to get out of there fast, who knows how many minions he's got hanging around." Damon replied as he helped the girls to their car.
"Okay, it will be alright Dam, we will get him back." Lexi said pulling Damon into a awkward hug.
"Call me as soon as anything happens." Damon replied, pulling out of Lexi's arms. "Thank you all again."
Back in the house Elena was watching her friends pull away, nervous for Damon to come back inside. She went up stairs and began to find her things.
"Hey what are you doing?" Damon asked as he walked into the bedroom.
"I really should go home; Aunt Jenna and Jeremy will get worried if I stay too long." Elena said rushing to get by him.
"Hey, you don't have to go. I am sorry I was snappy earlier." Damon said softly, his eyes pained as she tired to push past him.
"It's fine, its my fault I shouldn't have said what I said. But I really think I should go home okay." Elena said tears coming to her eyes.
"Okay but let me drive you please." Damon begged.
"I have to take Jenna's car home Damon." Elena replied.
"That's okay, I was planning to go to the grill to night anyway, I will just walk from your house." Damon smiled at her.
"Okay, that's fine then." Elena replied coldly, she was upset about earlier, thinking they needed some time apart.
"Yeah okay let's go then," Damon said sadly, 'shit I pissed her off, great going Salvatore.' He thought to himself.
The ride back to Elena's was very quiet, and very suspenseful. Damon cringed, 'you could cut this tension with a spoon, fuck I should say something, but what?' he thought to himself.
"So, um, are you feeling okay?" he asked her 'fuck that sounded so stupid,' he bit his tongue.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I actually never threw up today so that's a plus." Elena replied just as cold as before.
"Well that's good," Damon smiled at her, 'she is so pissed, god I have to go and have a drink after this.' He thought to himself.
When they got to her house he walked her to the door.
"Hey, I'll give you a call later?" Damon questioned, going in to give her a goodnight kiss. She turned her head, so he could only kiss her cheek. He grabbed her chin pulling her to him, "I am sorry about earlier babe I really am, please don't shut me out." Damon begged.
Elena place a quick kiss on his lips, before heading to the door.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow, I really need some time alone okay?" Elena said walking through the front door.
Damon felt his heart pang his whole body frozen. "I love you Elena." He whispered out as she shut the door.
"I love you too," she said silently as she shut the door, tears in her eyes. 'Why did I do that? Why did I make him feel like shit?' she cried.
Aunt Jenna came to the door as she heard it open.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Jenna came rushing towards Elena.
Elena fell into her aunt's arms bawling. "Damon and I got into a fight." She cried.
"Awe, baby its okay. Do you want to talk about it, I think there's some chocolate ice cream in the freezer?" Aunt Jenna said helping Elena to the couch.
"Yeah okay, I guess." Elena mumbled out.
Back outside Damon just stood there stunned. "Great going dumbass, you get the girl then you piss her off." He said aloud subconsciously kicking himself in the ass.
"I need a drink." He said aloud as he walked to the grill.
It was pretty quiet, he sat at the bar, ordering a bourbon.
"You like the good stuff too?" a guy beside him spoke.
"Yeah, I guess." Damon replied taking a large swig of the drink.
"Woah man looks like you had a rough day." The guy said.
"Suppose you could say that." Damon replied, moving the glass in his hands so that the liquor danced in the cup.
"You know you really look familiar." The man said getting closer to him.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Damon cringed, 'I really do not want to fight tonight.'
"Yeah you look a lot like a guy that killed my wife." The guy said pushing Damon slightly.
"Look man, I am not in the mood to fight tonight, I am sorry for your wife." He said biting his lip.
"I know what you are, I know that you killed my Isobel, why don't we take this outside." The man dragged Damon out of the Grill.
Damon's eyes were wide, 'oh shit Isobel, who is Isobel?'
"Look I don't know who Isobel is. I am sorry someone killed your wife but it wasn't me." Damon said as the man pinned him to the wall.
"I know what you are, I have been following you for months, don't deny it Damon." The man said his name roughly.
"Dude that is creepy to stalk someone." Damon replied.
"Says the vampire who stalked and murdered my wife!" the man punched Damon in the face.
"Fuck dude! Calm down your wife isn't dead!" Damon said finally realizing who Isobel was.
"What do you mean I watched you rip her throat out and take her out our window." He punched Damon again.
"Stop! I'll tell you everything I know but please just stop!" Damon said blood pouring out his nose.
"Your going to tell me or just kill me like you did Izzy?" the man said in between tears.
"I didn't kill your wife, she asked me to turn her, so I did. I am sorry man my emotions were off." Damon said trying to get his nose to stop bleeding.
"What?" the man could barely speak tears were falling down his face too fast.
"I am really sorry if I could take it back I would." Damon said sincerely.
"Why don't you just kill me please." The man begged.
"If I could I would for your sake, but I can't." Damon said his nose had finally stopped bleeding.
"Well then I guess I'll just kill you then." The man said taking a stake out of his shoe.
"Woah man please don't do this." Damon said a look of terror in his eyes. "Please I am not a vampire anymore, I have a baby on the way please."
"What are you talking about, your lying so that I spare your life, its not going to happen." The man said.
"Please, if you don't believe me call Elena and ask her please." Damon begged handing his phone over to the guy.
"Elena? As in Elena Gilbert?" the mans face softened.
"Yeah do you know her?" Damon sighed.
"Yeah, she's my girlfriend's niece, and my student. I am her history teacher." The man looked at Damon again.
"What the fuck! You got my girlfriends niece pregnant?!" Alaric pinned him again to the wall.
