Happy Holidays to everyone! Thank you for all of the comments and reviews, I appreciate them and I appreciate you. This series has been rather fun to do and I think you for your encouragement and your interest!
Now, Bonnie's father was not exactly ignorant to what Damon is...but he kept quiet, I think that was a testament about how much he loves Bonnie. Bamon as parents...that would be interesting.
Disclaimer: I own nothing...nothing...nothing.
"Aren't you tired of this?" Damon asked leaning in Stefan's doorway as he watched his brother pick up his graduation cap and put it on.
"Well this is the last time I'm doing this, I'm going to Mystic Falls U next year and I think I may choose a career after that", Stefan smirked, "you need to think about doing that too".
Damon shrugged, "I rather do what I do now…"
"Oh really, well I guess since you're going to be a daddy pretty soon, you won't have as much free time…you will be watching the baby while Bonnie goes to school", Stefan smirked as he zipped up his gown.
"I think you're getting a kick out of this…I think you are taking some sick sadistic pleasure in knowing that Bonnie is having my baby".
"I find it funny because I can't imagine you changing diapers".
"Well if we have any luck, the baby will be a witch and it will be able to cast a spell and change its own diapers", Damon remarked.
"Not going to happen, this is something that the Bennetts cooked up for you, I am sure that they plan on torturing as much as they can with the baby".
"I know…trust me, I know".
"Are you ok with this?" Stefan asked, "I mean, I know you love Bonnie and all…but a baby, that's a big step".
Damon shrugged.
"I have to admit I'm kind of envious of you…I will never get to have this with Elena…we won't have any biological children…we won't have forever", Stefan replied.
"But you could have forever, if you wanted to".
Stefan shook his head, "I would never turn Elena".
"Are you sure about that, it will be a pretty sad day when you have to look at her wither away and die".
"And that's why I make sure that every day we have together is a great one", Stefan replied.
Damon nodded.
SSSSS
Bonnie walked down the steps of her house dressed in her cap and gown. Her father stood at the bottom trying not to smile, but failing. "Daddy, its ok…you can smile and be happy", Bonnie grinned as she walked over to him.
Derrick grinned as he grabbed her and hugged her tightly, "I am soo proud of you. I know that I've given you a hard time lately, but I love you and I only want the best for you".
"And I am getting the best, you don't have to worry".
"I will worry as long as you are with Damon", Derrick answered.
"Well Daddy, you will have a lot of grey hairs and I know you don't want that", Bonnie smirked.
"You have always had to grow up soo fast", Derrick said kissing her on the forehead, "are you ready to be a mother?"
"Well I love this baby more than I thought possible already, so I think I'm on the road to being a great mommy".
"And you promise me that you will go to school and have a career".
"Yes Daddy, I promise and just because you are moving to Amsterdam, doesn't mean that you won't know what's going on with me".
"I will be checking up on you and I will be back when you have the baby".
"I know", Bonnie said hugging him, "I love you Daddy, remember that".
"Always", Derrick said holding onto Bonnie.
SSSSS
"Your father didn't send one death glare at me today", Damon declared as he opened the door to the boarding house as Bonnie walked in.
"Well I think at the very least he realizes that you're not as bad as he thought".
"Or he just realizes that he won't be able to get rid of me".
"That could also be a possibility", Bonnie smiled as she plopped down on the couch, "today was an interesting day…graduation…you being there cheering me on, me…pregnant…it was weird".
"Which part?"
"Probably you because I am pretty sure when I started high school, I never would have guessed that I would have ended up with this life".
"Do you regret anything?" Damon asked.
Bonnie looked at Damon, "Hmm…loaded question, do I regret being here with you…no…do I regret being pregnant now…no…do I regret being a vampire…a little…but I'm also not so crazy being a witch either".
"Well you should be happy, I think since you and I got together, you have saved a many of lives in Mystic Falls".
"How?"
"Well let's just say I'm not quite Stefan…and not quite the old Damon. I will be honest with you, when I agreed to give you that blood…it wasn't about saving you, it was about getting closer to Elena".
"I know".
"And when I first realized you turned, I did feel a little guilt over it…not a lot…and I have to be honest, I never thought it would turn into this".
"I hated you for your part in me turning…I was angry, but you know…I don't think I would have survived any of this without you and I can't imagine ever walking away from you or this".
"Switching gears…how do you feel about Tyler Lockwood still be missing?" Damon asked searching Bonnie's face.
"He almost killed you…a part of me hopes that he never comes back…but he was my friend and I tried to help him and I'm not sure that I did…I don't know, not to see him at graduation today was sad".
"I'm going to be honest with you, when the mutt comes back…I owe him one", Damon stated.
"Yes, yes…I know", Bonnie smiled rolling her eyes.
"So when are you packing up your stuff and moving in here?" Damon asked standing up and pulling Bonnie up with him and heading to the kitchen.
"Moving in here…I have a house and it's a lot friendlier than here", Bonnie said looking around the kitchen as Damon took out a bag of blood and emptied it into a cup.
"Wait…do you think I'm going to allow you to live at your house, unguarded with my baby inside of you…oh Miss Bennett, you are sadly mistaken".
"Allow me…I think you're the one mistaken, Mr. Salvatore", Bonnie said taking the cup and placing it into the microwave.
"I think they're arguing", Stefan said walking into the kitchen with Elena.
"Well its better than how we found them on prom night after they ditched it", Elena smirked.
"Yes…seeing my brother tied up on the couch with just his boxers on has scarred me for life".
"You know, we thought that you two would still be out celebrating the Happy Graduation", Damon said taking a sip of the cup of blood.
"We did and now we came here to celebrate, we just stopped in here for a moment before heading upstairs", Stefan replied.
"Nice…hey, Elena…has Stefan asked you to move in here yet?" Damon asked winking at Bonnie.
"No…why…Stefan were you going to ask me to move in here?" Elena asked turning to Stefan.
"Let's talk about this upstairs", Stefan glared at Damon as he motioned Elena out of the door.
"Why did you do that?" Bonnie laughed as she hit Damon the chest.
Damon shrugged, "He brought up when you left me in the living room tied up on prom night…which wasn't fair at all, I might add".
"How was it not…you said anything went".
"But I thought I said no powers?" Damon said walking over to her with hooded eyes.
"Did you…I don't remember", Bonnie smirked.
"You don't remember huh…"
"Nope".
Damon moved Bonnie against the counter, "Maybe we should reenact that night and jog your memory".
Bonnie looked up at him, "Well you have to catch me first", Bonnie said running out of the kitchen.
Damon sighed, "Sometimes that little vitch is too fast for her own good", and with that he took off after her.
SSSSS
Later that night, Bonnie lay sleeping next to Damon as he watched her next to him. He slowly moved the sheet down and placed his hand under her t-shirt and drew circles on her belly, "Hey you in there…I want you to know that you have one of the most beautiful, intelligent, brave mommy vitches ever and I want you to also know that you may not have the best dad in the world and I may not be the nicest or the most cuddly…I won't wear stupid wool sweaters or smoke cigars or come home and read the paper…but I will kill anyone that hurts you and that counts for something…oh and I will always be here for you…you got that kid".
Damon made sure that Bonnie was sleeping quietly before he softly placed a kiss on her stomach before pulling her closer to him and closing his eyes.
Don't worry...there is an epilogue...
