Hey guys, I know it's been a loooong time since I've updated and I'm sorry. This chapter is the last one :(

Stefan: So if this chapter is the last one...you'll make a story with me and Elena! :D

Me: O.o...no way...

Stefan: Why?

Damon: Cause it'll be boring...boring...and...oh yeah, boring.

Me: I agree with Damon.

Stefan: I'm not boring! Tell them Elena!

Elena:...

Stefan: Elena!

Me: Alright, we made our point...now, let's continue with the story! :D

Elena's POV

It was a long ride back at Mystic Falls and I slept almost the entire time. We stopped at a hotel for the night… a bed was much more comfortable than a car seat! Damon had insisted that Felicia and I take the bed and he would crash on the couch. Was Damon acting considerately for once?

When we woke up the next morning, we stopped at a little restaurant for breakfast before hitting the road again. Something had changed inside Damon whilst I had been away... but i think it was for the better.

It was a silent car journey as I didn't know what to say. I wasn't sure what situation Damon and I were in, and besides, he was just focusing on the road.

As soon as I saw the 'Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign, I started to feel a little nervous. I'd never told Jenna about me having a baby and I didn't want to deal with that right now… I needed some time to figure out what I was going to say.

"Damon, I don't want to go home right now… Jenna doesn't know yet…" I said.

He looked at me in the mirror and I could see him frowning, but only slightly, then he suddenly nodded as if breaking from a trance. I noticed Felicia looking at me from the corner of my eye and saw she was frowning a little too. She obviously got that from her… from Damon. It was difficult for me to say, 'Her father' because it sounded... odd in association with Damon. It was a role that didn't seem to fit him.

"Where then?" he asked, looking back at the road, even though I was guessing he already knew the answer.

"Boarding house… nobody knows yet… so it's the best place," I explained, looking at my lap.

"Alright." he simply replied, driving into the Boarding house driveway. I rolled my eyes… of course he knew. I sighed and a small smile appeared on my face against my will. Even though I wasn't looking at him, I could tell he was smirking.

Damon's POV

It was very dark outside, and when I looked at my cell phone, I saw that it was a little past midnight. We got out of the car and saw Elena grab Felicia.

"Mommy, I'm sleepy." Felicia whined. In fact, she looked exhausted. Her little eyes had trouble staying open and I could tell she was fighting to keep them wide open, but tiredness was slowly taking hold.

"I know sweetie, we'll put you to bed." Elena said, her voice soft and delicate. We entered the Boarding house and went up the stairs. There was my room, Stefan's room and the guest room. I decided to take them in the guest room… it was near mine and I was guessing that she didn't want Stefan's room.

I opened the door and flicked on the light switch. The room was mostly dark tones, but less than mine. I motioned for them to enter and closed the long, blue curtains. The bed sheets were white and the top blanket was the same colour of the curtains.

Elena put Felicia on the bed and raised the sheets to keep her warm. She gave Felicia a sweet kiss on her temple and brushed her cheek lightly. For a while, we just stood there, watching our daughter sleep… she looked like an angel.

After a few minutes, Elena turned to me.

"We need to talk," she said, in a voice that wavered – but only slightly. She seemed a little afraid, but i couldn't get what of. Did she think I was going to abandon her again? I nodded and we went down stairs into the living room. She sat on a couch in front of where I was sitting in my armchair.

Elena's POV

What should I say… what should I say? I had a sensation of Deja vu – back to when I was about to announce my pregnancy to Damon. It just made me more nervous… what if he reacts like the other time… I know that he knows, but I don't know what he thinks about it.

"You wanted to talk, but now you only seem to be thinking. Were you talking about having a talk with yourself?" he smirked. I really missed his joking.

"Hum well, …it's about Felicia," I started, looking down at my intertwined fingers.

"What is it?" he asked, suddenly becoming deadly serious.

"First, I would like to know something…" I asked, still looking down.

"Yes?" he replied.

"Why did you waste your time? Coming for me?" I asked.

"Wasted my time? Must I remind you that I can live forever? Vampire?" he joked. I raised my head and looked him dead in the eyes. He knew I was serious about this.

"I missed you," he said. I smiled lightly at this and he continued, "I acted like a jerk when you were saying the truth about Felicia… I couldn't believe it was possible. Vampires can't procreate, but somehow…" he paused, thinking. "Somehow…there she is," he said, looking as if he were talking to himself. I could tell it was confusing for him, because it was for me too.

"How did you know it was true?" I asked, curious about the answer.

"Well, first she looks a lot like you… but the thing that made me really realise she was mine, was the eyes. My mother's eyes are not ones you see everyday, so I put one and one together…." He replied, trailing off into oblivion at the end.

"What do you think about this whole situation?" I asked abruptly, unsure of what he would say. He took a few minutes to think his answer out.

"It seems unreal… kind of like a dream. I never expected to have a child ever since I became a vampire… it's as if my mind can't register that it is happening." he said, trying to express what he was feeling. I nodded, completely understanding where he was coming from.

"She doesn't know who you are… I didn't know if I should tell her, because of well... the way you reacted…" I confessed. He didn't seem mad… he seemed to be agreeing with me.

"I understand. Like I said, I acted like a jerk… but, I want to be a part of this… to be there for her, for you – but I'm not sure I would be a good father to her, I've done so many bad things in my life…" he said. It was the first time that I saw Damon open up that much and I felt honoured that I was the one he opened up to.

"Damon, you may have done horrible things, but I know that deep down, you are a good person. You proved that you can be caring and kind. I believe that you could be a good father to Felicia…I know you can Damon." I said, smiling warmly. That seemed to please him to no ends.

"Thank you Elena…" he said, his piercing blue eyes looking right into mine. I felt like every bone in my body was melting. It was so intense that I remained paralysed, I couldn't move an inch.

Damon's POV

I think it's the first time that I felt like someone cared about me… It was a strange feeling, but I liked it. I rose slowly from the couch and walked to where Elena was. I took her hand in mine and make her stand. Then, I wrapped my arms around her, crushing her to my body. She immediately reciprocated and I caressed her soft hair. I felt the pressure of her hug crushing me, it would hurt a normal human and it dawned on me that she didn't want to let me go.

"I missed you so much!" she confessed, her face buried in the crook of my shoulder. I tightened my arms around her as much as i could without crushing her.

"I missed you too." I replied in a whisper. I pulled her head back then pressed my lips on hers in a tender kiss. She kissed back and put one hand in my hair, bringing my head closer than it already was. I felt alive for the first time since i had lost her. I could feel all the emotions she was putting in the kiss and I knew they were true.

When we pulled back, she was gasping for air. I saw the dark lines under her eyes and I could tell she was tired, so I mumbled, "Let's put you to bed." I picked her up easily, taking her bride style in my arms. Since Felicia already occupied the guest room, I brought Elena in my room. I helped her to take off her shoes and jacket. I had done this a thousand times with women but Elena was just so amazing that I couldn't believe i hadn't found her sooner.

I put her under the covers and got ready to leave her to sleep in peace when she grabbed my arm.

"Please… stay," she whispered in a sleepy voice. I smiled and lay on the empty side of the bed, slipping an arm around her waist.

"I love you Elena," I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Damon." With that, she fell asleep.

Elena's POV

I woke up feeling hungry. I hadn't eaten anything last night, so when a sweet scent caught my attention, I practically vaulted out pf the bed.

As I went down the stairs, I heard Felicia giggle and yell, "Pancakes!"

"That's right!" Damon said cheerily. I entered the kitchen and Felicia's head turned in my direction.

"Mommy! We're gonna have pancakes!" she informed me happily.

"Looks like it." I smiled as Damon turned to me.

"Well, good morning sleepy head." he laughed. I laughed as well 'cause I knew he was right… I wasn't totally awake yet.

"Good morning, Mr. Salvatore." I said, laughing as he smirked.

"Mommy, he has my last name!" Felicia said in excitement. Damon looked at her then at me, with his jaw practically hitting the floor. I knew he was shocked that I used his family name for Felicia's and not mine, but I knew that if we ever met again, he would be pleased. And it appeared I was right.

"Yes he does," I said, looking at Damon. He grinned at me and I laughed at his expression.

"Why?" she asked in pure innocence. She was a very curious little girl who liked to learn new things.

I put a hand on her shoulder and smiled to her. "That's because he's your daddy," I answered. As soon as I said that, Felicia looked at Damon.

"You're my daddy?" she asked.

"Yes I am." Damon smiled. I could tell he was about to explode in joy, but held it in check.

"I want a hug," Felicia said to her daddy. Damon didn't hesitate to answer her request. He took her in his arms and I couldn't help but smiled at the sight in front of me. It was adorable.

Then, we smelt an odd smell that spelt oddly like... burning? Damon turned around and grimaced. "I guess we can forget about pancakes," he laughed. The food was completely charred and when Felicia saw it, she let out a little huff of disappointment.

Suddenly, Damon said, "But I bet there's a good restaurant that could make better ones than me!" Felicia's face immediately lit up and Damon looked at me to see if I wanted to come and I smiled in response.

We dressed up and left the house for our first breakfast… as family. Are we really a family now? What was Damon's take on that? I guess I'll have to ask him later because for now, I was really hungry.

Damon's POV

The day passed quickly and now it was time to put Felicia to bed for the night. After that, Elena went for a shower and I went in the living room for a drink.

To tell the truth, I was really nervous, that's why I needed a drink. Too many thoughts went through my head and I was so deeply in thoughts that I didn't hear Elena entering the living room.

By the look on her face, she knew that something was bothering me. "Damon, are you alright?" she asked, obviously worried.

"Yeah, just thinking about things." I replied. She sat down next to me on the couch and waited for me to explain. I didn't know how to start off what I was about to so and I sighed in resignation. Elena put a hand on my shoulder, in sign of encouragement. That was what I needed to be able to say this.

"Elena," I began, pausing to find the right words.

"What is it Damon? I've never see you that way before. Is everything alright?" Now she was very worried. I looked in her beautiful eyes and I knew what I had to say. I raised from the couch and dropped to one knee in front of her. I took one of her hands in mine while the other was pulling a little black box from the back pocket of my jeans.

Her eyes widened and I could clearly see that she was surprised.

"Elena Gilbert, you are the only one who truly trusted me. You cared about me more than anybody has and you were always there in my hard times. You are my soul Elena. I love you and I want us to be a family with Felicia. Will you marry me?" I said, letting my heart speak. Her mouth was slightly open from shock. She was definitely not expecting that. She blinked a few times.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Yes, I am." I replied without any trace of humour. She smiled and a tear of joy ran down her cheek.

"I will." she said, hugging me tight.

I kissed her and revelled in the feeling. I had never been this happy in my whole life. I pulled back a little and opened the box to reveal a platinum ring with a little ruby on top of it. I took it and placed it on her left ring finger. Then, she asked me something I would never thought she would ask.

"Will you turn me?" she looked me right in the eyes. Now it was my turn to be surprised.

"I will, but after the wedding." I replied, kissing her gently.

"I think that I can wait until then." she smiled and kissed me back.

We went up to my room and we made love all night… one night wasn't enough to show her how much I love her… even eternity wouldn't.

Me: Hey Stefan...I can make a story with you in it...but there will be a slayer in it too...played by Elena.

Stefan: Why a slayer?...Oh, I'm gonna fall in love with her and we'll be a happy couple!

Me:...hum...yeah...-_-"

Stefan: Awesome! *goes away doing something not important at all...*

Damon: You'll really make that story?

Me: Maybe...Oh...I forgot to tell him...that Elena will stake him at the end...

Damon: Hehehe, I love this concept...*evil laugh*

Me: Me too :P
