Thank you for your reviews, I appreciate them. The last chapter moved really fast and this kind of slows down a little. Elena had to awaken so that Bamon could move on one way or the other. This is only the beginning.

Bonnie slowly began to regain consciousness as she heard growls, flesh being ripped apart and screams. She felt discombobulated. The last thing she remembered was being in the lake and being pulled under…she looked over next to her on the ground and that's when she saw Caleb next to her lying motionless. Her eyes widened and she let out an anguished scream, "Caleb!" she pulled him into her arms as Damon was by her side dropping down next to her, "wake up Baby…come on wake up for Mommy, come on please…", Bonnie said kissing his forehead and touching his cheek.

"Bon…Bonnie…I can hear his heartbeat, remember…this is what happens…", Damon swallowed. A few moments, he witnessed lifeless Bonnie lying on the ground and now he watched her cradle their son. He could hear Caleb's heart beating, but seeing him unresponsive still felt like a dagger to his heart. His eyes welled up in tears as he touched the top of Bonnie's damp head, "Bonnie, it's going to be ok".

"He's not waking up!" she cried looking at him, "what…what happened…how…"

"They tried to take Caleb, it was a set up. They tried to kill you…they did kill you, he brought you back to life", Damon stumbled over his words.

Bonnie stared at him with wide eyes.

"Damon!" Stefan called from behind him.

Damon turned around to see Stefan walking holding onto a younger vampire. Damon watched as Abby walked towards them and dropped down next to Bonnie, taking both Bonnie and Caleb in her arms, "Find out who the hell tried to kill my daughter and tried to take Caleb", Abby stated through clenched teeth.

Damon kissed Caleb on the forehead and then paused before kissing Bonnie on hers and then stood up walking towards Stefan, Rebekah and Lucy. During his walk over to Stefan and the vampire who looked frightened as if he had just saw the devil himself. Damon balled up his fists as he met the vampire's hazel eyes.

"Who was behind this?" Damon said staring directly into the vampire's eyes.

"Kill me, I'm not telling you anything".

Damon's vampire visage appeared, "If you insist…", his arm reached out, but was stopped by Stefan.

"We need to know who sent him", Stefan stopped Damon's arm, "and he may not want to talk now, but he will".

Damon met Stefan's eyes and he lowered his arm, "Fine, but when he gives us the information…I get to end him", Damon met Stefan's eyes.

"You will definitely get that privilege", Stefan said standing behind the vampire and grabbed him, "but for right now…you get another privilege".

"Wait…what?" the vampire asked as Damon stepped to him and twisted his neck, sending him falling to the ground in a heap.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie kneeled on her knees in Caleb's bed watching him. She could see his tiny chest going up and down. She was still damp from the lake, but she refused to move from Caleb's side. "Bonnie", Damon said walking in the room after chaining the vampire downstairs in the cellar, "he will come out of this".

She held onto Caleb's hand and kissed it as tears from her eyes, "Why would you allow him to save me?" she asked quietly.

"What?"

"Why would you let him use his powers, you know what it did to him before and that was just a bird…he brought a human being back to life, he could be in this coma for days…months…years", Bonnie turned to him, "how could you allow him to do that?"

"Bonnie, vampires and witches attacked us…they were after him, we protected him and during that time he went to you. You're his mother, he wanted to save you".

"He is 3 years old!" Bonnie screamed, "he had no idea what he was doing or what would happen…", she began to cry, "he didn't know what he was doing".

Damon kneeled down next to Bonnie and swallowed as tears appeared in his eyes, "He knew what he was doing. Caleb wanted his mother back and he did what he had to. He is his mother's child".

Bonnie looked over at Damon and nodded slowly, "Our poor little boy", she whimpered.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Stefan stood in the kitchen staring out into the backyard. His mind kept replaying the scene at the lake. He could see Bonnie going under and trying his best with Damon to get to her. When the wall broke down and Damon swam to Bonnie, bringing her limp body out of the water—he knew. He knew that she was gone and his brother's face was one of pure devastation. Then the vampires and the witches came and without a second thought, he knew he had to protect Caleb. He wasn't sure how long it took to get kill the vampires and witches surrounding them, but it felt like hours. Then Bonnie's scream filled the air and he knew that something else was wrong. Caleb lying on the ground motionless gutted him.

"Stefan…", Rebekah said placing a mug of blood under his nose, "you should drink this".

He turned to her and smiled, "Thank you…and uh…thank you for everything you did today. You didn't hesitate to help".

"You all needed my help", she shrugged.

Stefan smiled as he leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. Rebekah giggled under his kiss as his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket again, "Maybe you should get that", Rebekah whispered.

"Things have been so crazy, it's probably Caroline…", he began as he answered the phone, "hi Caroline, I'm sorry I know you called but things went crazy after you left the lake…"

"I've called everyone's phone at least 20 times, where's Bonnie…is Bonnie ok?" Caroline cut him off in a panic.

"She's fine…wait…how did you know something was wrong?"

"Tyler had a security guard at the storage facility, he called him a couple of moments ago and he told him that Elena is awake…so that means that Bonnie died or she was dead or something…", Caroline rambled.

Stefan's heart dropped. He should have known that after what happened to Bonnie, the curse would be broken and Elena would awaken. "Where are you now?"

"I'm on my way to the boarding house to tell Damon and Bonnie that she's awake. Tyler's heading to the airport after he drops me off".

"Go with Tyler".

"What? Don't you think Bonnie and Damon would want to know, I mean…at the very least, Damon would want to know".

"Things happened today and Bonnie and Damon…look…just go with Tyler, Elena probably wants to see your face more than Tyler's".

"What are you not telling me Stefan?" Caroline asked.

"Long story short, people tried to kidnap Caleb after you all left and we fought them off—but before we did that, they cast a spell that drowned Bonnie".

"They killed Bonnie…how…wait…you said she's fine, what happened to Bonnie?"

"Caleb healed her and now he's in a coma and just like last night, we don't know when he's going to wake up and Bonnie and Damon are devastated—so they don't need the Elena news just yet".

"Oh my god…", Caroline gasped, "ok…I will go with Tyler and I will call you later".

"Thank you Caroline, I'm just trying to look out for them".

"I know", Caroline said ending the call.

Stefan looked at the phone and sighed, "This is not what Bonnie and Damon need at the moment, especially when Caleb is in a coma".

Rebekah nodded as she wrapped Stefan into a hug.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"This is scary", Lucy stared at Caleb from the doorway of his bedroom as Bonnie sat in the glider by his bed and Damon sat in a chair on the other side of the bed, "do you think we should try a spell to wake him?"

Abby stood in the corner of the room staring down at Caleb and Bonnie.

Bonnie shook her head, "I don't think we should. The last time he used his powers, it was only on a bird. This time he used it on me and it probably took a lot of energy", she rubbed her hands over her face, "and as much as I want to see my little boy awake, I know that this stasis is how his body rejuvenates. But when he does wake up, we need to do something Lucy. He's so young that he doesn't understand what he's doing, he should have never brought me back today…"

"Bonnie, don't say that…he loves you, he needed you", Lucy walked into the room.

Bonnie shook her head as tears left her eyes, "Today is his birthday", she whispered.

"And he wanted his mother to be alive", Lucy walked over to Bonnie and placed her hand on Bonnie's shoulder.

"When he wakes up, we need to find a spell to stop this from happening again until he fully understands what his power does and the consequences of it".

"Whatever you want Bon", Lucy answered.

"I'm going downstairs; do you want anything?" Damon asked standing up.

Everyone shook their heads as he headed out of the room.

Damon felt as if he was being suffocated in the room. A day that was filled with such happiness turned to despair and sadness so quickly. Seeing Bonnie's lifeless body on the ground shook him to the core. It made him sick to see her like that. The fact that he couldn't save her, tore him up inside and then he had to fight to keep his son safe. Now, his son was in a coma all because of someone's greed. He knew that Caleb would wake up eventually, but seeing him lying in the bed twisted his insides and made him almost murderous.

He began walking down the stairs determined to go into the cellar, where the vampire that they captured had been chained up but when he touched the bottom of the stairs, Stefan came in from outside. "Is Caleb awake?" Stefan asked.

"No, he's still in a coma...and I need to make our friend downstairs very uncomfortable", Damon started towards the cellar door, as Stefan grabbed his arm.

"Not now…", Stefan stopped him.

Damon turned to Stefan with wide eyes, "What do you mean not now, we need to know who the hell is behind all of this".

"If you go down there now, you will kill him and we need him alive so he can give us answers".

"He deserves to die!" Damon exploded, "they tried to kill Bonnie and they would have succeeded, if it wasn't for Caleb and how was he rewarded by falling into a coma on his birthday! Do you know…", Damon choked up as he looked into Stefan eyes and then lowered his voice, "do you know how hard it was for me not being able to get to Bonnie, not being able to save her? When I reached her, I knew…I didn't hear her heart beating and do you know all of the things that went through my head—how we would never have our chance. But Caleb…he couldn't live without his mother and he brought her and now he's lying up there and we have no idea when he will wake up…days…weeks…months…years? It's…I can't do this Stefan".

"Yes, you can", Stefan touched Damon's arm, "Bonnie needs you to and you need to keep the level head here. I think the mistake we made last time was to not find out who was after Caleb, we can't make that mistake again…ok".

Damon placed his face in his hands, "Ok…ok".

Stefan pulled Damon into a brotherly hug, "Caleb will be fine, you and I know this. He has you and Bonnie as parents, that kid can survive anything—even you as his Dad", Stefan smirked.

Damon cocked his head to the side and a smirked surfaced, "Thanks".

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie woke up suddenly in Caleb's bed. He was still unconscious and she had fallen asleep next to him. She looked over at Damon asleep in the glider. Abby and Lucy retired to one of the guest rooms hours ago. She slipped out of the bed and padded out of the room closing the door behind her. She walked down the steps slowly and started towards the cellar. She was perfectly aware that Damon and Stefan had locked up the surviving vampire of the massacre. She was so angry that she needed to make someone pay and this vampire was just as good as any.

She touched the door handle and was quickly grabbed away from it.

"What are you doing!" she hissed.

"I know what you want to do Bonnie and I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Damon, we need him alive".

"I wasn't going to kill him", she protested.

"I'm sure, but things could easily get out of control".

"He was part of the group that killed me and are responsible for Caleb being in a coma".

"I know and that's why we are going to keep him until we can find out everything he knows and then he will get what he deserves. Bonnie, I know that you are angry and you have every right to be—but you have to trust me on this".

Bonnie slammed her eyes shut for a few moments and breathed, "I am so angry".

"I know you are".

"He wanted to save me. He tried to save me and that's why he's up there right now".

"Your son is every bit of a hero, that's what you are raising him to be Bonnie and I know, it's hard to see him like that. It's hard for me too, but we have to make sure that this is the last time this happens", Stefan pulled Bonnie into a hug, "we are going to make sure that no one ever comes after Caleb again".

Bonnie nodded as she hugged Stefan tightly.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The morning sunlight drifted into Caleb's room as Damon opened his eyes. Bonnie was snuggled up next to Caleb and she was sleeping. He took in the sight for a few moments as his phone vibrated in his pocket. Caroline had called multiple times yesterday and then the calls just stopped, perhaps Stefan informed her that things were tense here and he didn't have time to talk to her about god knows what. He glanced at the phone and saw Caroline's name again. He sighed and stood up, stepping out of the room and closing the door behind him.

He touched the green button, "Look Blondie, I'm sure Stefan told you that we are…"

"Damon…", her voice came through as clear as if she was standing in front of him.

He gripped onto the wall as his eyes widened and his chest tightened, "Elena", he whispered.

He heard her draw an intake of breath, "Damon, it's me…oh my god…it sounds so good to hear your voice", she rushed out.

Damon blinked a few times. How was he speaking to her? Then he remembered—Bonnie had died yesterday. He never thought about the fact that it would have been enough to break the curse. He never once thought about Elena yesterday.

"Umm…Elena…where are you?" he managed to squeeze out.

"In New York at a hotel, Caroline and Tyler are bringing me back to Mystic Falls today. They were being so cagey about everything, they told me that Bonnie's not dead…so I don't know how this happened and they wouldn't let me call you last night, I'm using Caroline's cell while she's in the shower. Something isn't right…", she drifted off.

Damon found that his mouth was suddenly dry.

"But I will be in Mystic Falls later and I can't wait to see you…you and Bonnie and Stefan…I love you Damon", Elena whispered.

Damon closed his eyes, "I will see you when you get to Mystic Falls, Elena", he stated as he looked down the hallway and saw Stefan standing in the hallway with his arms folded before he disappeared into his bedroom.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie opened her eyes gazing down at Caleb. He was still unconscious and there was no indication that he would awaken any time soon. She swallowed the lump in her throat as she placed her head lightly on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. His heartbeat was the only one keeping her from totally breaking down. She knew that he was still with them and he would wake up when his body was ready to, but it still tore her heart out to know that he was in this coma because of her. She took his small hand in hers and kissed it, "Mommy loves you Caleb Bear", she whispered in his ear as she kissed his cheek.

"Bonnie, I can stay in here for awhile while you take a shower…maybe get something to eat, it's almost 2", Abby stated walking into the room.

"I don't want to leave until he wakes up".

"You won't be any good to him if you don't get something to eat at least or even walk around", Abby moved closer to the bed and held out her hand for Bonnie to take.

"Mom…"

"At least go downstairs and get some coffee".

Bonnie nodded as she sat up, "Have you seen Damon?" she asked.

"He's downstairs with Stefan talking to the reluctant guest".

"I'm going to take a shower, get some coffee and then I will be back up here…", Bonnie walked towards the door and turned around, "hold his hand Mom, that way he knows that someone is here and he can wake up".

Abby nodded taking Caleb's hand as Bonnie disappeared out of the room.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damon threw a small blood bag into the cell where the vampire they captured yesterday rested on his knees. He was rather young, with long brown hair and hazel eyes. He looked like a grifter that was more than likely turned as a soldier in this mission to capture Caleb. He looked down, "I can't reach it".

Damon and Stefan looked at each other, "You think we should make it easier for him?" Stefan asked.

"I don't know, it depends…is he at the brink of wishing he could rip his own stomach out?" Damon kneeled down closer to the blood bag.

"I don't know what you two think that I am going to tell you…I don't know anything", the vampire argued.

Damon smiled as he walked closer to him, standing the vampire up, "You don't know anything, you were just some innocent bystander yesterday that just so happened to be walking by the lake?"

The vampire kept his mouth shut, "Do you know what happened yesterday, do you understand that the fact that your head is still attached to your body is quite a feat…especially for someone like me?" Damon asked, "you were a part of a plan to kill the woman that means a lot to me and because of that, my son is in a coma…I suggest you start talking or my goodwill will disappear in a blink of an eye".

The vampire looked Damon dead in the eyes, "I have nothing to tell you".

Damon narrowed his eyes as he punched through the vampire's chest and wrapped his hand around the beating heart, "What did you say?" Damon gritted his teeth.

"Damon…I think we need to give him some more time to think about this", Stefan touched Damon's shoulder, "he will talk…or we will send Bonnie down here and I doubt he wants to find out what it feels like to burn to death".

Damon looked over at Stefan and then pulled his bloody hand out of the vampire's chest, "You have 8 hours", Damon warned as he turned to leave with Stefan, kicking the blood bag further away from the vampire, "oh darn it, I kicked your food…oh well", Damon shrugged as he and Stefan walked out of the cell slamming the door behind them.

They walked up the stairs and up into the kitchen, where Damon walked over to the sink washing his hands as Stefan watched him, "I know that you know that Elena is awake", Stefan stated quietly.

Damon finished washing his hands and dried them, "So you did hear our conversation this morning".

"Part of it, but I spoke to Caroline last night. She told me that Elena was awake".

Damon looked over at Stefan with a puzzled look, "And you never told me…why?"

"Because Bonnie and Caleb needed you here".

Damon moved closer to Stefan, "Did you think that I would leave them? Did you think that I would leave Bonnie and Caleb's side? After all this time, you didn't have the faith that I would stay here?"

Stefan was silent.

"I love them, Stefan".

"Yes, but I also know you love Elena and it's been years...", Stefan began, but immediately stopped talking as Damon looked towards the doorway where Bonnie was entering.

"Abby told me you two were downstairs, is he talking?" she asked clearly oblivious to what the two brothers had been talking about.

"No, he still thinks he has a choice. How's Caleb?" Damon asked walking over to her and resting his hands on her arms.

She shrugged, "The same. I know that he will come out of this when he's ready, but it's just hard to see him like this…you know".

"He's going to be ok, Bon".

"I know…he has to be, but when…when will he be ok?" Bonnie looked into Damon's eyes and then at Stefan.

"Bonnie, remember when this happened the first time and we were afraid and he popped up like there was no problem?" Damon asked drawing her gaze her to him, "this is just like that".

"I should go back upstairs, just in case…", Bonnie let Damon go, "are you coming?"

"I will be up in a moment", he said.

Bonnie smiled, "Can you bring me up some coffee".

"Will do", Damon smiled back at her watching her as she walked out of the kitchen and then turned to Stefan, "for the record, I know that we have to deal with the Elena factor—but now, is not the time to break to Bonnie that Elena is back".

"Elena will be here later, so you will have to face this at some point Damon", Stefan brushed past him.

Damon sighed as he turned to make Bonnie's coffee.

After fixing Bonnie's coffee, he smiled to himself-he had perfected the perfect Bonnie special over the past couple of months. He started towards the stairs, but heard a call pull up in the driveway and then he heard her voice. He felt like there was something stopping him from moving from his spot. His feet felt as if they were glued to the floor as he heard footsteps and voices, "Elena, maybe you should have stopped at my place first", Caroline spoke quickly.

"Care, I don't know why you are still stalling…I'm fine", Elena chuckled as she knocked on the door boarding house rapidly.

Damon stood holding Bonnie's cup and swallowed as he felt Stefan pass him on the stairs and watched as he went to the door and opened it. Damon watched as Elena appeared in the doorway. She looked almost angelic. She was just as beautiful that moment as she was the day they closed her in the coffin.

"Damon…", she stated tentatively meeting his eyes with tears welling up in hers.

"Elena…", he managed to squeeze out as she rushed to him and wrapped her arms around him as he held up his arms, "I…uh…", he stuttered over his words, "Bonnie's coffee", he finally managed to say as he attempted to keep it from spilling.

"Damon, I kind of wanted the coffee today…", Bonnie began as she made her way downstairs and suddenly stopped on the stairs as she took in the sight in front of her. Stefan and Caroline were standing to the side with alarmed faces, Damon was standing on the steps holding onto her coffee cup with a brunette hugging him tightly.

"Bonnie!" Elena grinned widely as she rushed up the stairs and brought Bonnie onto a hug on the stairs, "I'm so glad that curse was broken!"

Bonnie stood motionless as Elena hugged her as she looked down at Damon with wide eyes.

"Elena, why don't we go talk somewhere…", Damon stated from his place in the foyer.

Elena let Bonnie go and walked down to Damon, "Talk…is that a euphemism", she lifted her eyebrow with a smirk.

Bonnie shook her head and walked down taking the coffee from Damon, "I'm going to take this upstairs", she said quietly before starting upstairs.

"No, I think we really need to talk…that's it", Damon glanced upstairs where Bonnie disappeared and he heard her close Caleb's door.

"Ok", Elena looked at Damon with a confused look as Stefan and Caroline moved slowly towards the kitchen.

Damon gave Elena a small smile as he led her into the living room closing the door behind them. Elena immediately moved over to him and kissed him passionately up against the door, "It's been a long time", she whispered in between kisses.

"Elena…wait…wait…", he said slowly pushing her away. Damon would never have guessed in a million years that he would push Elena away. This was the woman that he told everyone that would listen that he loved and the one not long ago that he counted down the days to her awakening so they could continue to lead their lives together.

"Damon, what's going on? It's been three years. I thought that you would be more excited to see me or at the very least, happier?" Elena shook her head.

Damon placed his hands on Elena's arms, "There is something I need to tell you".

Elena raised an eyebrow, "What…what's wrong?" she whispered.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie closed the door to Caleb's room and rested her head up against the wood. She should be happy to see her best friend awake, but all she could think about is how she didn't need this right now—not while Caleb was in a coma with no sign of waking.

"Bonnie's what's wrong?" Abby asked coming over and standing beside her.

"Elena's downstairs", Bonnie breathed out.

"She's awake", Abby confirmed.

Bonnie nodded as she turned around and gazed over at Caleb. She moved across the room and sat down next to his bed, "Things are so bad right now Mom", she whispered, "and I know that dealing with Elena is inevitable, but I just…I can't deal with her right now, especially while Caleb is like this".

Abby nodded, "Then don't".

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"A lot of things happened when you were in that coffin…", Damon began, "my mom and her family reigned hell all over Mystic Falls, we fought them and eventually won".

"That's good…"

"Well it wasn't easy. There was a vampire huntress who chased Stefan all over the world and there was the crazy ass group of people who were related to Enzo who were in charge of something called The Armory but through it all, me and Bonnie were able to work together and things worked out…"

"Well you and Bonnie were always a good team, despite the fact that you…", Elena began and then stopped as she focused on Damon, "did you and Bonnie…", she swallowed, "did you two become more than friends?" Elena whispered.

Damon looked over at Elena, "1994 changed things between me and Bonnie…I loved you Elena, I never stopped loving you but me and Bonnie…we had a connection, one that I knew was different than I had with anyone else—I just didn't realize how deep it went".

"Are you two…together?" tears pooled in Elena's eyes.

Damon shook his head, "She got hurt badly a couple of years ago, she got hurt protecting me and I wanted to protect her. So I made a decision…actually, I wanted to save her and Stefan from always getting hurt by protecting me. I made a decision to desiccate myself until you woke up…"

"Damon…"

"I know, you told me that I had to live my life. But you know what Elena, I would have never forgiven myself if Stefan or Bonnie paid the price for something that I did".

"So you're not together because you desiccated yourself?"

"It's not that easy, the night that I desiccated myself…", Damon began looking into Elena's eyes, seeing her fear and he could hear her heart beating rapidly. She was bracing herself for what would come next, but he had to be honest. There was no going back, he had to tell the truth to Elena—she deserved that much from him, "I went to Bonnie and told her what I planned to do and one thing led to another and…"

Elena immediately stood up from the couch, "Don't…", she stated as a tear fell from her eyes, "don't tell me…don't tell me that you...you and Bonnie…don't tell me that", she shook her head vigorously.

"Elena, let me explain to you…", Damon stood up and started to walk away towards her.

"No!" she held out her hand as she turned to the doors of the living room and opened them, "Bonnie!" she called heading for the stairs.

Damon followed after her, "Elena, don't…not right now…"

"What?" she whirled around with a face of anger, "what do you mean not right now, you tell me that you had feelings for my best friend and you two slept together and you're telling me not right now?" Elena continued up the stairs, "Bonnie! We need to talk".

Damon sped up the steps and blocked Elena, "Elena, you need to just let me finish".

"No, you don't get to finish…Bonnie needs to talk to me", Elena brushed past him and walked to one of the guest rooms where Damon stood in front of the door.

"Elena, you don't want to do this…", Damon attempted to stop her, "not right now".

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Bonnie could hear Elena and Damon in the hallway as she held onto Caleb's hand. As much as she wanted to go out there, she couldn't do it. She would not leave Caleb's side to deal with this triangle that she was currently in. Her son was her priority, not Elena's hurt feelings.

"Damon, move out of the way…me and Bonnie need to talk!" Elena screamed as Caleb's bedroom door flew open and Bonnie stood up from the bed meeting Elena's fiery brown eyes.

Elena stared at Bonnie for a few moments and then whispered, "Bonnie, how could you do this…", she began and then she focused on Caleb.

Elena slowly walked into the room as Bonnie stood protectively near Caleb's bed. Elena focused on Caleb as she raised her hand to her mouth.

"Elena, let's talk", Damon stated quietly.

"Who is that?" Elena whispered pointing to Caleb.

Bonnie looked over at her and spoke, "My son".

Elena walked closer to Bonnie, "Your son with who?" Elena asked, secretly knowing the answer but unable to believe it to be true.

"Me", Damon moved closer to Bonnie as Elena looked from him to Bonnie to the little boy in the bed as her face crumbled into tears.

Well the first thing I want to say is that I hate the coffin storyline on TVD. It has to be one of the worst storylines I have ever witnessed on a television show (and I watch A LOT of tv). It is a plot point that has to be dealt with because it keeps the characters stunted. Oh and I never understand how they will deal with Elena waking up in a coffin, who's there to make sure she gets out? Stupid.

Second…well…Elena is taking this pretty bad and I don't blame her. Bonnie's focus is on Caleb as it should be, but she has to speak to Elena at some point about everything and it probably won't be pretty. Kudos to Damon for coming clean with Elena immediately…the boy has shown growth.

Finally, the vampire that knows something about who was after Caleb WILL talk.
