Chapter 9: Merry Christmas to You Too!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the original story

Snow was beginning to fall outside, but the cold out was nothing compared to the iceberg that settled in the Salvatore Boarding house this Christmas Eve. Everyone stood there not moving as Damon and the kids got reacquainted. Four of them stood like a statues watching the scene in front of them unfold and the other two watched on with smiles. Damon finally stood up and addressed the other four in the room.

"Everyone this is my sisters Kendall and Kiara," he said not missing the breath of relief that left all of their mouths. "And these little munchkins are my kids Brooklyn, Wyatt, the twins are Cattleya and Bliss, and my youngest boy Jayden." He said smiling down at them with pride.

Jeremy was the first out of the four left in the room to move. He slowly walked you to the kids and introduced himself. "Hi I'm your uncle Jeremy." He said bending down in front of them.

"We know, daddy told us so much about you." Wyatt answered. "Is it true that you beat him at video games?" Wyatt asked with an awe look on his face.

"Yeah your dad pretty much suck." Jeremy said very pleased to know that Damon was as fond of him as he was of him.

"Can you maybe teach me to beat him because daddy keeps cheating?" Wyatt asked with a hopeful look on his face.

"Hey" Damon complained grabbing there attention. "I do not cheat"

"So you hiding his remote control and tickling him are a winning tactics." Brooklyn replied rolling her eyes at him. "Daddy is that our sister?" she said after a long silence settled again.

Damon hesitated looking at Caroline and then back at Brooklyn before answering "Yes that's her"

Brooklyn nodded and walked over to Caroline and stuck her hand out. "Hi I'm Brooklyn Anne Salvatore, daddy said you are his child so do that make you our big sister?" Brooke asked as Caroline shook her hand.

Caroline looked up at Damon so see that he was not looking her way. Damon had never taken on the role of her sire seriously but then again this was Damon she was talking about, when have ever taken responsibility so this can has a shock to her. She didn't know what to say to this answer because she always wanted to be a big sister but lying to this little girl was wrong, but would it really be a lie. "Yes sweetie, I'm your big sister." She replied hearing Damon release his breath not too far from them.

"Yes, I always wanted at big sister. Since you live her do you get to see mommy a lot?" Brooklyn asked.

Caroline didn't know what to say to that because she had no idea who the mother of this little girl was. Though she hoped it was her best that, was still sitting stock still in the armchair not being noticed by the kids yet, or though she thought.

"Daddy can I go speak to her?" Cattleya and Bliss asked.

"Yeah sure, it's not like she can't talk back" Damon replied thinking they wanted to speak to Caroline too.

They face lit up and the two girls walked over to Elena and all the adults froze. Damon closed his eyes knowing exactly what was coming next. He step forward to stop it but Kendall grabbed him by the arm and shook her head no. He wanted to argue but he knew he was no use and visibly slumped down and watched the scene once again play out in front of them.

"Mommy is you okay?" Bliss asked Elena. Elena came out of shock just stare at Damon across the room wondering why his kids was calling her mom. Sense Elena didn't reply the girls looked at each other and then asked the question hoped not to ask. "Daddy said you were here with your family. Are we not your family too?" Bliss finally asked looking down.

"Do you not love us anymore?" Cattleya finished, officially snapping Elena's eyes to theirs.

"Girls…" Damon started but was affectively cut off by Elena.

"That's not it at all, I will always love you." Elena said because it was true, they are a part of Damon so officially making them apart of her too. "Guess what," the girls looked up at her. "I was on my way to come see y'all when your uncle told me you were coming here." She replied with the biggest smile.

"Really?" Brooklyn said as she and the boys joined them.

"Really," Elena replied looking at the rest of the kids as Jayden climbed on her lap. She pulled him close as the girls did the same as him leaving Wyatt and Brooklyn to gather at her feet. Damon looked on in awe as his kids and the love of his life bonded. The day he thought would never come was finally here.

"So does this mean you are coming home with us?" Jayden asked wrapping his little arms around her neck and laying his head on her shoulder.

"Well of course, I can't very well send you home without me, Can I?" She replied and all the kids shook their heads no. "Well good, now let me up so I can give your brother and sister a hug." She said with a blinding smile shining from her face. No longer did you see the shards of her broken heart or the sadness and defeat that were coming from her in waves just mere moments ago. She was now whole as she took the two oldest kids in her arms and looked into the eyes of Damon. He too wore a gentle smile as he took in the scene in front of him.

"Alright my little trouble makers, it's time for bed." Damon's voice broke in to the moment of silence as everyone watched the scene.

"But dad…" the kids started.

"Don't but dad me; it is way past your bedtime." Damon said in a stern voice.

"How come Caroline gets to stay up?" Brooklyn said looking to her sister for help.

"Your sister is going to bed too…" Damon said looking at Caroline.

"But…" Caroline said with a glare.

"What did I just say?" Damon sent her a glare "Now up the stairs, before I call Santa Claus and tell him he has six children who should like to be on the naughty list." He stated seriously, pulling out his phone. All the kids gasp and their eyes went wide, knowing that he would do it. They suddenly all got up and yawned.

"You know what, I think you right daddy. I suddenly feel very tired." Bliss yawned making all the adults laughed.

"That's what I thought. Now say good night."

"Goodnight," they all yelled. "Mommy and can we sleep with you and daddy tonight." Wyatt asked.

Elena looked at Damon and he nodded his head. "Yeah sure sweetheart; why you go on up and I will be up there in a little bit, okay?" they all nodded their heads and made their way towards the stairs with their father trailing behind them.

Damon returned back downstairs only to send Elena up because the kids wanted a bedtime story. He walked into the room and took a seat in the armchair Elena just vacated and joined in on the conversation.

"This is like traveling back in time." Kendall stated. "This place hasn't changed one bit, since I was last here." She continued to look around the room, just as she remembered it.

"Do Dad," sarcasm dripping from Caroline's words. "How long have I had brothers and sisters? I mean since I've been the only child for so long." She finished staring at Damon.

Damon rolled his eyes, "Look blonde, there is no need for the sarcasm, you are lucky to have a father like muy," he smirked. "And as for the kids, they have been mine legally for 3 months now." he finished with a smile.

"Awe, big bad Damon has become a big fat marshmallow." She added.

"Watch it, Barbie," Damon scolded. "Or daddy will have to take away your toys, like your favorite Christian Louboutin stilettos." He sneered while she glared at him but stayed silent.

"So, I'm an Uncle," Jeremy said in awe completely ignoring their banter. "I'm an Uncle."

"Yeah and I'm a big sister," Caroline's eyes lit up for the first time since she found out. "I get to spoil them and fill their heads with all kinds of bad things about our father." She leered as Damon glared.

"Caroline behave," Elena said as she walked into the room before Damon could open his mouth. She walked over to Damon and settled herself on his lap, snuggling into his chest. "they are out like a light."

"You comfortable?" Damon smirked.

"Very" she replied as a smiled flit across his face.

"You know, you're a dead ringer for Katherine." Kiara said eyeing Elena suspiciously.

"So I've been told," the doppelganger replied. "Thank God I'm nothing like that conniving, self-centered bitch." She sneered.

"I can tell we will get along quite well." Kiara and Kendall beamed as they looked at each other.

"How old are you two?" Elena asked with smile on her face from their comment.

"169"Kendall stated.

"But if you want more realistic age, we are 21" Kiara continued.

"When were you turned?" Bonnie asked, speaking for the first time since they arrived.

"In 1864," Kiara replied. "We were turned by this woman name Pearl, because the year before we was kidnapped and then when we finally broke free she found us and turned us into what we are. We ran off just before they put her and the others in the tomb." Everyone nodded their heads listening to their story.

"So you are Damon & Stefan's sisters?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah," Kendall answered this time. "We are three years younger than Damon and four years older than Stefan. Our father had an affair with our mother and that's how we came to be. We are more Damon's sisters then Stefan's if we are telling the truth." She continued.

"Why do you say that?" Elena asked.

"Because my father and Stefan never claimed them, like father like son" Damon sneered. "I can see my father because he didn't love anybody but my mother and Stefan, but Stefan had no excuse."

"Damon…" Kendall started.

"No Kendall, he treated y'all as if y'all was beneath him, as if you was worse than the dirt he walked on. That's why I never came looking for y'all because I hoped that you both got as far away from them as possible." He said, his anger rising. "I wanted to kill them both when they barely acknowledged y'all were gone."

"Damon calm down, the kids are trying to sleep" Elena said putting a hand on his cheek to get him to relax.

"Moving on," Damon cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. "The kids don't know about vampires," Bonnie scoffed. "So I would like to keep it that way as long as possible." Damon finished ignoring Bonnie's interruption.

"Figures" Bonnie said but shut her mouth when Elena shoots daggers at her.

"Figures what, Witch?" Damon asked as everyone eyes turned to her.

"I just think that's…" Bonnie started.

"See that's your first problem" Damon cut her off. "You stick your nose in business that doesn't concern you." He stated. "When I want your opinion on how to raise my…our" he corrected himself looking down at Elena before continuing. "…kids, then I will ask but don't hold your breath or do I really don't give a fuck, I don't want or need your help. And I don't want you to over work that small brain of yours either." He smirked but everyone could tell he was serious by the holes he was drilling into Bonnie with his eyes.

"Damon you are a good father and we know you will always make the best decision with your kids in mind." Kendall said.

"She is right Damon," Elena said looking into his eyes. "I wouldn't want a better father for our kids. We will tell them when you are ready to tell them, not second earlier okay?" she said and he just nodded his head. "Good, and Bonnie knock it off you are lucky to be a part of this after what you did." Elena said as she glared at Bonnie and she looked down out of shame.

"So I'm a mom" Elena said after everyone turned into bed and it was just her and Damon downstairs.

"You don't have to be," Damon said staring to panic. "I mean, I can always tell the kids the truth."

"No no…I like the fact that I am scene as the mother of your kids." Elena said cuddling farther into Damon. "I mean only if you want me to be." She said glancing up at him.

"Yeah of course," he said. "I wouldn't have it any other way. So, are you coming back with us? To Italy, I mean." He rushed out. "I mean we could stay here you want."

"I will follow you anywhere." She said kissing him. "And I always wanted to go to Italy."

"So at the risk of sounding like a girl, where exactly do we stand?" Damon asked hesitantly not wanting to know the answer but wanting to know the answer at the same time.

"We are together." Elena said with a smile.

"Together together?" Damon said with hope in his voice.

"Together together," she replied. "I love you Damon Salvatore."

"I love you too Miss Gilbert" He smile against her lips. Damon thought life couldn't have gotten any better; he had everything he ever wanted and more. He was happy for the first time in over a century, and he prayed he never had to let go of this feeling. "Merry Christmas" he said in between kisses.

"Merry Christmas to you too."

Sorry I am late, school is coming to an end and I have so many finals. I hope you like it tell me what you think of it .
